Khris Middleton Postgame Press Conference | 12.23.23

Talking to Griff after the game you had mentioned that he feels like that’s one of your better games of this season just what did it feel like for you out there felt great um stending minutes I’m not sure how many minutes I played but it felt like I was out there longer

Structures um was able to get to a nice Rhythm nice flow um you know I’m starting to feel like myself uh legs are coming back under underneath me for my shots and on the defensive side so feeling great right now how much different is it to play 16 minutes in a

Game as opposed to playing 32 or 34 know it’s quite but for like people who don’t really understand like how what what are the differences for you in your basically I think the best way for me to describe it is you know you’re playing 16 minutes probably playing four minute

Stretches so as soon as you feel Loose as soon as you feel like you’re in the flow of the game you get taken out have to sit down for 20 minutes and try to do it again um while playing you know 25 plus minutes 30 minutes however many

More um you’re able to be out there longer stretches so you’re able to you know see the game feel the game out and figure out where you can attack it from uh you guys have gone through a bunch of different changes in your rotation this season but over the last five games you

Kind of get to run a unit by yourself in the second quarter in the fourth quarter what have you liked about that it’s obviously something you’ve done before I know with Giannis and Dame at the start of was like I don’t know if that’s ever going to happen but yeah it’s turned

Into something for you just maybe a little more opportunity um that’s all it is but um you know it’s all about you know Finding what’s going to work with that second route when I’m out there that’s necessar to me give me the ball and make a play happen is figuring out

Who I I have out there you know who’s rolling um and then figure out how to play through that um within the team concept but you know I think we’re all going to have stretches where you know I’m out there by myself for a couple minutes or a couple possessions same

Thing with jiannis and Dame and like I said we just have to do a great job of understanding who’s on the floor how can we play and what you know what type of sets should we play through I felt like BP was the guy that got it going during

That stretch in the second quarter just what have you seen from him recently feels like the last five games he’s been in a really good group just him understanding you know um who’s on him you know he’s a Bucky down there in that post and then he does a great job of

Spacing off the ball within plays he knows um a lot of times The Bigs or Smalls that’s guarding him they have a tendency to leave him um to help on drives when uh myself Dame yanis whoever’s driving whatever action we’re doing and he finds that open spot in the

Corner in the top of the wing um he’s just playing hard he’s playing the game the right way he’s understanding you know mismatches and he’s understanding the game which is you know huge coming off the bench to have somebody that can come in for 20 plus points Dam just kind

Of talked about yall talk through a lot of just things like getting invol involved uh that noral you normally have done it in previous years or is that this year has sort of picked up that’s I think that’s you know most years I’ve been here um you know communication is

Key especially with the veteran team that doesn’t spend that much time on the practice court so you know a lot of times that we’re together we’re talking about the game I’m talking about you know how we should how we should play how we want to play um you know how we

Can compliment one each other’s game and we figure it out by watching film and you know going out there and playing there’s times he yanis Dame Jay Bobby C stuff um and we encouraged it to let everybody know so we’re on the same page
