Jrue Holiday on Celtics STRUGGLES in 3rd: “Maybe we don’t come out with the energy” | Postgame

You know uh I think right off the bat um MN came out and hit a couple threes or maybe it was ni Smith one of them and uh really just started playing well clicking on all cers uh it kind of seemed like we didn’t withstand the punch as well as we could

Have and then once we got back to it it was late in the fourth and by that time anything could happened because they’re in such a good Rhythm so regardless do did you feel it all you guys let up did you feel their energy rise like what what kind of shi I don’t

Think the energy rised um again I think they played really well but they knew uh with Tyrese out you know um who’s their main ball handler other people are going to have to step up and they had quite a few tonight that stepped up and and did really

Well TJ M combo was really huge I me for them uh what was the challenge guarding him uh you know like everyone kind of knows the spots he wants to get to but he’s so crafty get yeah he pushes the pace uh just number one uh just off top

Gets it out and pushes the pace so there’s going to be quick Outlets uh quick layups if we’re not set defensively and I think they started getting a couple of those and then um really just trying to keep him out the paint um we know that he loves to pull

Up too and that’s a big Energy play for him but um I think once he get into the paint and starts to get layups and stuff that really uh turns him up so again he he played really well tonight not expecting it why did it take you so long to get back

To you know sometimes it’s just sometimes that’s just how it is uh what we’re up 10 or 11 9 or 11 going in that going in halftime um again I think kind of through that third they just kind of walked us down uh I think

By the end of the third they might have made up one or two and then um from there you know it was just just kind of a battle who can make plays but and they they played well without without their star player tonight which I hope he’s doing okay so

Obviously you guys it’s been a really good season for you guys so far to too much but to us the common you guys have lost Joe has been really frustrated with like those one big quarters you give up defensively is there any kind of common threat you’ve seen um during those

Quarters usually the third it’s Comon thre It’s usually the third quarter um I I think maybe we don’t come out with the energy that we that we should um I think that’s probably the the biggest thing I think that that I might see is uh no matter who’s out there there’s

Sometimes in those thirds where we in the first we just start off so well and our energy is up and we’re really physical and then that third we don’t come out the way we’re supposed to so something we got to take care of Krist made it a point to tell us he

Feel like you’re the one in this group who is sacrificing the most does it first of all does it feel that way that you are and then to hear him say that that meaningful um am I I mean yeah I think based off of where I came

From but that was a different team with um different needs uh and what they needed out of me so this team what they need out of me is is uh for me to be silid for me to be open to different different types of um strategies and and

Situations every every single game where I might be guarding a big or I might be on a small or a big might be on me there’s so many different scenarios so um yeah I appreciate KP saying that where again I’ll probably say the bulk of my career I’ve uh had the ball quite

A bit but again we have a really good team um I’m not mad at my situation I’m not mad at uh the sacrifices that I have to make because even though I might be making the biggest one KP says like everybody makes them KP was on a

Different team where he was the best player um um even JB and and uh JT where yeah they’re still going to be our star players but there are nights where maybe they don’t have it or maybe somebody else has it and they might not get the numbers that they usually get um you

Have Derek white that’s playing at an all All-Star level you have Al who’s sacrificed I feel like just as much as I have so it just keeps on going down the line of of of the people sacrificing and I feel like it’s being noticed and that’s why record is 28

Nate last two games the 21 Z do you enjoy that I do I do that’s definitely something DM for me um I’m usually on Ball and and guarding the best player and locked into that and trying to fight over screens and um again trying to get around BL shots and

Stuff but um I think being able to kind of talk and direct people uh on where to go and has been new for me has been different again I’m usually usually listening to people behind me so this is kind of a different um role for me to be

Able to be the one screaming at people in front of me you enjoy experiment offensively and trying things with this team yeah I I I enjoy that and it seems like the coaching staff and Joe Joe enjoys it too um and I also like it because we do it

In maybe to you guys it could be random times that we start doing it but uh I feel like it’s there’s always something that we can work on and something that we can learn from so even tonight um trying that 212 and then putting it in

And slowing it down um we even did it the game before where it kind of slowed him down and uh I feel like that’s something that we’ll work on because we’re going to need it down the line so being able to have actually being able to implement it and uh have the talent

To do it and to do it in so many variations it’s been cool you’re pretty far into your career like it’s not like just much new to ad to your game do everything so is it fun to like this this point of your career to get to try

Something new for sure for sure I think it’s uh growing and being a better player um kind of like you said expanding my game um not just sticking to the things that I’ve always done as a basketball player so I think at first kind of get out my comfort zone but I’m

I’m starting to fall in line thank you Dre all right

INDIANAPOLIS — Celtics guard Jrue Holiday reflected on the team’s performance following their recent 133-131 loss to the Pacers. He analyzed the common factor in most of the Celtics’ eight losses this season, pinpointing it to a specific period of the game. “It’s usually the third quarter. Maybe we don’t come out with the energy that we should, no matter who’s out there,”
