Isaiah Hartinstein with nine points, a career high, 17 rebounds, a season high, 39 points.

Isaiah, first question, are you exhausted?

No, I'm good, I'm good. I'm doing actually pretty good.

I make sure I'm in pretty good condition, but Todge came in and gave me a little breather,

so I helped a lot.

I say 39, 39 minutes, obviously the career high.

The key today was defense, even though there's so many big offensive plays. Defense was the key tonight. What was talked about the last 24 hours about what had to change? That was a big emphasis. I mean, just coming in knowing we had to play better defense. And I think that starts with communication. I think we did a good job, communicate, and then just rebound in the ball. So I think we just got to keep building on that. And I think that starts with communication. I think we did a good job, communicate, and then just a rebound the ball. So I think we just got to keep building on that. And I think we're going a good direction. I say on your left shoulder, I don't know if that's blood or what that is, what's going on on your body, but it's emblematic of the type of game you had to play tonight, didn't you, against a guy like Anthony Davis. A guy as big as he is with the long arms and everything else, what's the challenge in just dealing with him on the boards alone? I mean, just being physical, I mean, and then mentally stay in that state. He's a great player, and so he's gonna make his shots, but I just gotta make it as difficult as possible. And Isaiah, this year, your second year in New York, you just seem so much more comfortable. Yeah. You've developed this great friendship with Mitchell Robinson, who clearly is out now, so you're going to have to play a lot more minutes. Have you talked to him, and what has he been telling you? I talk to him every day. The funny thing, he always, he always takes me after every game. So that's

my guy. We miss him a lot. But he's in a good spot. I just got to hold it down until he comes back. But we talk every day. He's my guy. I miss him a lot. And so I'm just going to try to hold it down until he comes back. Well, you did a fine job holding him down tonight. Congratulations on the win, Isaiah. Thank you. Appreciate it.

All right. Sean, we are going to get to the super chats. Do we want to throw a drinking game on this one?

Sure. Anytime someone's mentions what? Well, you know what? I've been keeping my eye on the on the on the on the on the on the on the on the on the YouTube chat. So you see it. Okay. So we's coming. Okay. So we can, it can be, well, I haven't seen the super chats. I was looking at regular chats, but I think it should be, it should be a Duke player. A Duke player. Anytime someone mentions a Duke player. How's that? Any Duke player, yes. Any Duke reference, any Blue Devil reference. Let's get to the super chat. And of course, we start off with our boy, Mr. Robert Cross. Now, that is a W. Ah, get it with a W. A smart guy said IQ is key on study hall this weekend. Hashtag 53 wins. I'm assuming Robert Cross is the one that said a smart guy, that IQ is a key.

Or was it you who said that IQ is a key?

I think we all said it.

I think everybody actually with an intelligent mind.

Yes.

If you watch this team and have a pulse and understand basketball, you realize IQ is key for this team.

Indeed.
