All of you that that's all the great things that are decent everybody's trying to get the ball consulate told -- -- these turnovers is not just there. When guys get the ball out -- that -- for common. No predictable. Trouble is as defense have to do to. To improve -- -- move towards the playoffs. You know I think you need to you know.
