we’re talking about practice
1.) a discussion focused on trivial matters, not related to the big picture
2.) a meaningless exchange
3.) a downplay of a criticism of oneself
“it’s easy to sum it up if you’re just talking about practice. we’re sitting here, and i’m supposed to be the franchise player, and we’re talking about practice. i mean listen, we’re sitting here talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, but we’re talking about practice. not the game that i go out there and die for and play every game like it’s my last but we’re talking about practice man. how silly is that? … now i know that i’m supposed to lead by example and all that but i’m not shoving that aside like it don’t mean anything. i know it’s important, i honestly do but we’re talking about practice. we’re talking about practice man. we’re talking about practice. we’re talking about practice. we’re not talking about the game. we’re talking about practice. when you come to the arena, and you see me play, you’ve seen me play right, you’ve seen me give everything i’ve got, but we’re talking about practice right now. … hey i hear you, it’s funny to me too, hey it’s strange to me too but we’re talking about practice man, we’re not even talking about the game, when it actually matters, we’re talking about practice … how the h-ll can i make my teammates better by practicing?”
