Derrick White on MVP Chants: I Love the Boston Fans | Celtics vs Nuggets Postgame Interview
Were just going at yic with pick and roll after pick and roll after pick and roll and it was working for a while is that part of the strategy to kind of like try to wear him down kind of defend him with your offense um man I think every team in the
League has been trying that for however many years and it doesn’t seem to wear him down much but uh you just want to attack and um try to make the right read off of it so um I don’t think specifically to to wear him down but uh
Uh just try to get an advantage somehow and then um make a play off of that and when it comes to trying to defend him especially him and Murray like how much of that you you always talk about like living with certain things how much can
You live with when it comes to joic and how much pressure does he put on you your defens you defensively yeah um I mean he his touch is is unreal um it feels like anytime he gets the ball in that little 8 foot area or whatever um
It’s two points for them so um I mean they both do a good job of playing off of each other um I mean Murray got it going there at the end there and um it just seems like they just they go over and over with that so um they’re a tough
Challenge they’re both really good at uh making tough shots and you just try to make it difficult as as much as difficult as you can D you guys offensively had a pretty big drop off there in the second half compared to the first the game seemed to
Slow down a lot what what led to that in your mind was like their physicality what kind of got them out of your eyes Rhythm uh I got to obviously go watch it um tell you probably the better later but uh I I think we got some good looks
That we didn’t knock down I feel like you can say that any game and um but we did get some good looks U we definitely the game definitely did slow down I think both teams the score represents that 100 to 102 so um game slowed down
And um when the game slows down you really got to execute you really got to be intentional and um I mean you’re going to make shots you’re going to miss shots but you got to be intentional about how are we’re going to execute Derek despite this being a cold
Shooting night for the team only three turnovers you held them to below 26% shooting from Beyond The Arc and it didn’t really impact your spacing or offensive approach do you feel like this game despite the loss was a reflection of this team’s maturation yeah I mean anytime you we
Take care of the ball like that you think it he gives us a really good chance of winning the game um uh obviously it was just a one possession game there at the end and um it’s probably because we took the took care of the ball so well so um we just
Got to continue to to to take care of the ball and contining to make the right read and making the the the right pass for each other Derek this year you got you guys have been winning with speed and skill and you know KP just called this like a
Great chess match this team is super physical they’re you know brilliant with yic so how do you guys how do you feel like you guys match up with a team that kind of plays that kind of style looking ahead to a potential finals rematch say rematch well rematch from
Tonight I guess oh um I mean they’re a good team and they had the chance for a reason um they chance that someone knocks him off so they they win the games in in many different ways and um I mean I think this year we’ve shown we we
Can win games in many different ways and we just didn’t make the right play or enough plays to to win it tonight so um obviously there something we can look back and learn from and grow from and we got a lot of time so we just we’re just going to grow from
It Derek did you feel christops kiss you on the top of your head the second half yeah I did that was crazy but yeah what’s your reaction to that it’s going to be I think that Meme is going to go away very soon yeah it was uh it
Was shocking but uh I mean he’s a great teammate and then MVP chance when you stood to the line with a two time MVP on the floor what does that mean to you uh I mean I love the Boston fans and it’s just great to have their support

This guy needs to take the last shot.
Should’ve gave this man the last shot
Aloha you the best D White
I thought he was gonna cut to the rim after inbounding. Tatum was on hero time tho so it prob wouldnt have mattered
Dude Murray is that man. Hes big time. Now ya'll all know it.
Coach needs to give the ball to someone besides Tatum in the end of game. Someone is open cause Tatum is doubled. Predictable bullshit. Cmon man. They are all capable. Mix it up and fool the f out of the defense.
Are the jays afraid of champions?
He seems pissed
I love the Boston fans too. They lit a fire in the Nuggets in the last 5 minutes that won them the game.
The Celtics only lost because they could not shoot tonight. JB took 9 open 3s and only hit 1. Also missed 2 free throws at the end. That won't happen again.
Derrick White anxieties with media makes me nervous
There was some timely bad calls. And the refs did take the crowd out of it. Not saying refs are the cause but they play a huge factor. Joker got a couple sticky tack fouls while Tatum gets hammered and fouled but he gets a tech. That's an issue but last play they needed to set up white he was a hot shooter
Oh and still were number 1
Joe FU let this guy sit out so long in the 4th quarter. We can’t have this guy sitting on the bench and Tatum out there repainting the rim.
Will Brad let this guy go in favor of Tatum or will Brad try to get a team that can win a title. We need a MVP player who can close out games. White is the closest player we have that can close out a game.
I’ve seen this guy run literally down opposing players and block their shot while Tatum is walking down the court and Brown is stumbling down the court. We need better. We need five players who block shots consistently and contest opposing players shots consistently. Tatum nor Brown does this.
