Bobby Portis Postgame Press Conference | 12.23.23

Uh for you guys last couple games uh Chris has kind of gotten to be the loan of the big three on the floor start of the second or during the second quarter and then start of the fourth quarter you’ve been with him during that time what have you seen from him that allows

Him to be successful in those moments and and kind of Thrive um just catching the Rhythm man I think I feel like basketball is a rhythm game um it’s so much predicated on getting to your spot um knowing where your spot is at um you know running offense the right way

Playing right away making extra passes and I feel like um when the ball’s hopping we at our best and we kind of you know the ball finds energy when you play hard when you um scream get to the spot um you know the ball just find

Energy I feel like we’ve been moving it around and particularly um with Chris he’s been get to his spots and U we all know once he gets to his spot you know you know Mr or make um you know that’s a shot we want to for that possession uh

In that second quarter you guys added eight points while Yannis and sitting on the bench how much pride you take in the fact that hey when those two come back in the game I’ve either kept the lead right where it needs to be or I’ve had it I mean that’s

Been my job here the last 4 years man to come in to bring energy Off the Bench energy is you know keeping the lead um you know bringing you know scoring bringing toughness whatever it is um part of what I’ve been doing here the last thousand days I’ve been on the buck

So um just trying to keep that up trying to you know obviously catch my rhythm as well as this season continues and um just being myself when I’m out there but it’s been fun to go on this little stretch we’ve been on and you know get

Some wins this last uh handful of games you probably seven 10 or so scor has been a real kind of mentioned that like you had to make some adjustments realize like some would to take advantage mismatches and such for you just what do you think the biggest difference has

Been for you in this last stretch um just not standing around uh feel like first couple games first 15 20 games yeah scoring was down but I was just standing sometimes just get back on defense feel like I’m more involved on the floor guys doing a good job of you

Know getting me the ball sometimes you know ain’t nothing wrong with getting number n the ball a little bit you feel me you know you feel me so they just credit my teammates man looking for me a lot more and it’s been working you looking forward to doing this again in

Two days a lot of guys get to play The Garden once you get to do it two in three days absolutely I love playing here as well it’s fun U play here for like 6 months and it’s always great man great atmosphere uh the crowd talks crazy to you like it’s everything you

Imagine as a little kid from Arkansas so uh definitely blessed and fortunate to play on Christmas as well that’s a big time thing only 10 teams every year get the chance to do that um overall this be my sixth time playing on Christmas so out of n years so it’s it’s definitely an

Honor
