Malik Monk on Kings 4-game skid and free throw struggles

Rut here like what do you got to do to snap this poor game win streak and kind of get back on the right side stop um having the little lapses we be having um we just be having too many small details that we can control that um shouldn’t

Happen in enough um throughout the game and we we see it every day on film so um we just got to lock in look at look oursel in the mirror and stop stop doing it I know you took to social media earlier in the week when you missed a

Couple of free throws I know you don’t want to miss free throws and I know that’s you know you want to hit these things but how difficult has this been for you this stretch here where just not difficult man yeah I was out the NBA at

Once so miss a free throw it’ll be all right I’m all right uh but yeah it’s of course of course you got to say something when it when it happens um and I’m a competitor too so uh I hate mov more than anything so that that’s really

Why I’m mad um cuz we dropped four um and I felt like one or two of them was some things I did in those so um but yeah I’m all right be all right um when we play again Monday we got game Monday man looking forward to it you

Said you say you know some of some of these things have to you know do with the mental aspect of you know think maybe overing some of uh it’s not overthinking is not thinking enough cuz um we’ll rotate one time on defense then not make a second rotation and now they

Get a wide open through so um it’s just not thinking ahead feels like you guys have had something good defensive moments and some maybe on the other side there so where are you kind of at with where you guys are uh the same like you just how

You just said it man we um we’ be good for 40 minutes then we’ be terrible for eight and the eight uh terrible minutes is not as good as the uh the good 40 and we lose a game so we’ll figure it out what stands out to you as the

Differences between us what are you guys doing well when you are playing the defense everybody’s on the stream um we all moving at one um not one person is behind anything I mean we all know we can do it um we seen it we see it every

Day in they show us the good cook they show us the bad C so we know what to do Mike says he likes seeing adversity from his team so you can learn something from it last year you guys faced adversity this year as well what do you

Hope to learn from this this stretch right here uh I I don’t want to learn anything I learned enough uh I just want us to win a game that yeah simp Malik did you know you lead this team in blocks yeah I KN I

Knew that I knew that I seen it uh a couple games ago like two blocks I’m sorry do you make sure they know that yeah they know they know that yeah they definitely know jav um domas aen they know yeah mhm I feel like your confidence is always skyh high doesn’t

Matter what’s going on um can you can you give that to some of your teammates you feel like you have to lift them at times during a stretch like this yeah that’s why I’m always laughing joking and stuff like that uh because some people people don’t take things how I

Take it um some people take a lot of things to heart and be down on theirself so I just try to brighten the move as much as possible and yeah U try to feed everybody confident any NFL predictions for the weekend at all no I don’t want

To jinx my team um so I don’t have anything to say gotta I like the Ravens Though last game points I know y probably talk about that about that about shots um nah one game I’m happy um the flow was off everybody was off so we we we’ll get it back Monday cool thank you
