Rick Carlisle speaks on the physical game between the Indiana Pacers and Memphis Grizzlies game!!
Coach Rick Carlile speaks on the physical game between the Pacers and Memphis Grizzlies game check out the video very very very very tough game obviously very physical um when Canard was unable to play and they put Rody in the lineup it just was sending a message that this is going to be a
Physical um a physical battle I mean that’s just and they’re they’re physical anyway but but you know him in the starting lineup was a further message of that and as much as you try to prepare your group for how physical it’s going to be it it’s words don’t do don’t do justice to
It so and we got knocked around in the first quarter some um did better in the second quarter uh a little better in the third and then the fourth you know we were able to we were able to um close it out so you know three in a row in these
Three three games is is great um you know my congrats to our players you know we had some stuff happened late today miles was a late scratch TJ was unable to play um you know ties out so that’s you know three of our top three of our top guys so the other guys
Responded I I thought Matan was tremendous he was tremendous in the first half when we couldn’t get anything going I mean he he was making the right play every time the right Drive um the right pullup you know the right read um and he
Gave us a lot of Life uh in the first and second quarter so um tremendous growth by him this year with those things without TJ and Tai you needed to rely quite a bit on injured EMP part in this game over 37 minutes what’ you like
About what he did for you guys kind of steady this ship playing point guard all night well he made ke plays down the stretch again and uh you know his his numbers don’t look super Gody um I mean 16 and N those are those are good numbers um but you
Know he he he scored in traffic one time he made the pass to sticks for a dunk one time um and you know he he was tough he was tough defensively the whole game so you know it was obviously broke up his minutes to try to keep him fresh
Throughout same thing we did with TJ in Sacramento last week um these are situations you don’t want to be in but when you are um you know you got to you got to figure it out and he was terrific Shephard was was really good you know in
Those short minutes in between uh buddy did a good job too buddy was was kind of a two-man tandem when uh when when Drew’s out you know we have we have Shep and and Buddy in there both those guys can handle the ball so um it was
Uh and those guys held the fort you can tell by the plus minus so um really good win for us Drew’s been in and out of the lineup often this season recently more he’s been in have you felt him you know get a little more consistency and more
Comfortable at the point guard spot in these last 10 days couple weeks yeah and this this has been a great opportunity for him to get more minutes um and and they’re minutes that really are you know they’re going to be there um it’s not like you know he’s got to
Be worrying about making mistakes you know he knows we need him out there and it’s just simply a matter of him reading the game and doing what he does what you think of the way that Pascal is able to defend jiren Jackson if feel like that was a significant development in this
Game well the last the last play of the game for them was one of the reasons putting him on a playmaking big like Jackson and uh they ran a keeper um he smelled it out was able to stay in front forceed a difficult shot and then the rebound and then the game was
Basically over so um he was he was uh once again I you know eight for 13 um six boards six assists I mean he plays he plays an all-around game that really comp Els our our roster be sure to like comment and subscribe see you in the next video hoop life family
