“We Got So Many Weapons.” | Rudy Gobert Postgame Sound | 12.28.23

All right Ry a big night for you 20 and 11 right but I want to know how you feel like you keep the offense moving I think just making simple play you know we got so many weapons uh so many guys that throw a lot of attention we just execute

And you know make the game easy uh we hard to guard and when we the ball get a little stagnant uh we make it harder on ourselves and tonight we saw we saw both you know both faces and defensively we always talk about your defense right you have four blocks

But in one timeout you were saying hey you guys look I’m here for you I’m in the back and I I got whatever comes to the rim how much pride do you take in that that’s who I am you know uh uh my teammates have a lot of trust in me and

Uh they rely on me so I got to be I got to be there for them and I got to make sure that I communicate to them you know so they can uh you know do what they’re supposed to do and go guard or you know whoever they guarding and it’s it’s

Tough you know the guys are so talented in this league uh so I really try to always be make sure they hear me and know that I have their back Ry you’re saying that sometimes you guys do make each B hard on yourselves offensively what do you sense is the problem in

Those situations and kind of how do you clean that up a little bit more going forward I think just making the the simple play you know not caring who’s going to score when uh you know let the game Flow and uh and when we do that you

Know it naturally takes care of itself you know and once again we got so many guys that can you know shoot that can score they understand the game you know uh when we space for each other and we just execute it’s a nightmare for the defense because they don’t know you know

There is no coverage really to to stop us when we play how we’re supposed to play has the defense been a little sloppier do you think in the last week or two the Wolves defense got I mean obviously OKC but even like tonight at times I mean Sacramento was

Really good uh OKC was not good but it happens you know it’s NBA 82 games you know we we’re going to have some nights when it’s not as good uh but we when it happens we it hurts you know so that’s the good thing and you know yesterday we

Had a great practice today we came in you know uh luuka didn’t play but we faced the team that kind of play a little differently that they usually play and you know and uh we had some great moments but we had some not so great moments so overall I thought that

Was pretty good game but still a lot of things that we need to you know be more aware on and uh I think we need to have a little more urgency you know and when things don’t go away offensively we can’t let that affect our defense you know we can get

Frustrated don’t touch the ball or you know or we don’t get calls or anything uh that happens offensively we can’t we cannot carry that on the defensive end that’s uh great defensive teams don’t do that so we got to get back to who we are and that happened in the second quarter

That did I think second quarter a little bit in the second half or two but mostly second quarter yeah we you know the ball get little stagnant offensively then kind of get a little you know distracted and we stop doing uh all little things that makes us great defensively and got

To make sure those moments are if not short if not non-existent at least short you talk about the flow you said that’s important to get to how have you come to believe in the flow and what like why is that mean go from Utah where you’re playing so structured why is flow

The best way to play first I mean I think it depends of how your team is built but our team is built with so many weapons you know that we don’t need we don’t need uh we don’t need to rely on one person to to score or to

Obviously it’s a great scorer but we have also other guys that can handle like Mike KY you know cat can have the ball in his hands too I mean we have really guys that can handle so like making the game simple allows somebody else to be wide up and somebody

Else to have a you know easy drive and and then uh us to set the blender Advantage uh and then you keep it and you get an easy shot at The Rim or three-point shot that’s what we’ve been doing you know much better than last

Year and I think we still got a another level that we can get to you know it’s uh it’s tough sometimes when you you know you want to score you want to um yeah you want to you want to score but the defense don’t allow that allow

That the coverage don’t allow that so we just got to make the the right play over and over and over and when we do that once again we I mean offense just takes another step you know it’s the danger in play calls sometimes R is that if a Players called for you

You kind of get tunnel vision I’m like I’m no supposed to shoot at here uh I mean a little bit at times but usually usually the plays are More Concept you know so whatever play called you got to you know if I get a doesn’t happen a lot

But if I get a if I get a play actually and I get the ball and they double me I’m the right place to kick it out you know and I think uh the the the the the play is just there to give you a an advantage once again you know talk

About advantage and once you get it it’s on us to make the right you know the right play the right decision Rudy with allar game coming up are you excited for it what are you looking forward for man uh I mean I’m excited hopefully we we stay first you know so coach Finch

Can can coach you know and uh and then regarding uh the allar itself you know I mean I think I definitely got a a few guys that deserve it now it’s uh still early still early but uh yeah I think we we should be well represented sure thanks than you thank you
