Anfernee Simons Postgame Interview | Portland Trail Blazers 100, San Antonio Spurs 116

Uh an so your thoughts on the game tonight obviously you guys started short-handed got more short-handed as the game went on how do you feel like you guys performed I think everybody came in and played you know played well for the most part um all the young guys

Came in was well prepared to play and that’s kind of been a story all season they all they all been you know working their ass off you know each and every day and um you know they get that kind of opportunity I think they they took full advantage of they play hard made

All the right plays um and just continue to play throughout the game Miss shots making shots they could continue to play hard um that’s probably what I’m most proud of is everybody came in ready to play when dudes started going down uh 40 points 10 assists for you tonight um how

Do you feel like you’ve you played tonight and how do you feel like you’ve been playing recently um you know kind of kind of slow start of you know at the beginning of the month but um you know I was just trying to fill out you know

Fill out the team out what we needed um you know just trying to play Within the game you know what I mean they was trying to take me Tak me away a lot for the first couple games the beginning of the month and um um you know last couple

Games I just wanted to get back to kind of just being a little bit more aggressive um especially early on um just find ways to to to get to the shots that I want to take and that’s what I kind of feel like I’ve been doing for

The past couple games and um you know whenever we had a chance fourth quarter like you said you know what I mean that’s that’s my time to be most aggressive and and you know um you know play to my strength you know what I mean fully and um you know I think that’s

What I’ve been doing over the past couple of games um when you talk about coming out more aggressive particularly the start game seemed like that was the case tonight as you mentioned a couple you hit I think three or four threes right in a row um what do you feel like that

Does for the team we were able to get off to a fast start um just give us give us a little bit of a boost um you know I feel like you know recently like we kind of getting off the slow starts just offensively and um you know it’s just

You know I me it’s not necessarily me me me just trying to be aggressive I mean I’m you know I was just trying to make the right play and get everybody involved and get the get the team Jing and going and moving the ball around and

So um you know you kind of try those things and and see where you can where you can kind of do both where I can be aggressive and look for my shot and also you know make the right you know make the right play and keep keep passing

Passing the ball and get everybody else involved as well so um just trying to find a balance in between both and what we need depends on the game um we asked you this after the Rockets game but another pretty good game for da how how do you feel like he’s been coming along

Since he returned to lineup and particularly in regards to to your kind of Encore relationship with him it’s been good you know what I mean this I really I mean we haven’t played that much together you know what I mean this is it’s probably the most we played

Together like minutes wise all season so um you know he tell he come to me and tell me tell me what you want to what you want to do in the pick and roll and I’ll just go out there and we just kind of communicate out there and um I told

Him I want to want the screens up early you know what I mean so we can get downhill and I’m you know I mean I’m always conscious of where he is and you know what I mean where he likes to get his get pocket pass and get to his

Little mid-range jump shot so if I don’t have the shot I get downhill we so far the far the floor know by the time I get to the three-point line I’m able to drop it off right T him
