Hawks vs. Suns Postgame Press Conference: Quin Snyder

Hawks vs. Suns Postgame Press Conference: Quin Snyder

Okay Coach DJ took over well he did some big scoring in that fourth quarter much like he did against the Lakers on Tuesday just how reassuring is it for you guys to know that you’ve got two point guards who can take over at any point yeah you know I think he he didn’t

Have a good shooting night and he had a great game you know and I think that’s that’s worth noting he’s been shooting the ball so well um but when I say from three you know um but his ability as you said you know to to get to the rim um to get his

Mid-range and then you know on the other end he had a pretty tough assignment there on Booker so to be able to have that you know that burst offensively you know at such a crucial time and then you know do it on the other end too is you

Know obviously crucial and I want to ask about your bench 46 points from your bench but especially from Ana and from bogy just how instrumental they were in the swing you know you can sometimes you take it for granted the the shots that bogy hits um you know he’s always ready

To shoot and uh he’s able to shoot contested shots but Ona was terrific you know he did so many good things on both ends of the floor and we were switching in pick and roll and he was matched up on a lot of different people because of

That you know he’s matched up on Durant um you know he even um you know Booker at times so I thought the job that he did defensively out on the perimeter that that’s hard and he was very good and then he came up with some big rebounds you know a couple offensive

Rebounds that were you know really impacted the course of the game coach um 17 turnovers for Phoenix 21 points off of those turnovers for you guys just how important was it that you guys were able to convert off of those turnovers yeah you know I think sometimes you know there’s matchup situations that

Are tough I mean really anybody on Durant is hard and uh and Booker’s such an elite player and he’s playing he’s been playing at an unbelievably high level so um even if sometimes they’re going to make some shots um and you got to tip your hat but to the extent we can

Impact the game you know even when they feel like they’ve got a mismatch situation by being aggressive and helping and making plays on the ball is big and obviously as you said sometimes you know that’s your best offense if you can convert those those defensive plays

And also did you have an update on sadik no our health performance and they’ll have that soon I’m sure coach uh before the game we talked about Trey not making the All-Star game and then he comes out and has a big game uh sees Durant on the other team it’s

Like how much can inspiration and motivation play a role at this level well you know obviously Trey wants to be in the All-Star Game you know he’s um he he anybody that that plays in this league wants that so but I I I think Play Trey one of the things that’s been

Great about what he’s doing is he’s he’s not playing for accolades you know I mean he’s playing to win and um you know you saw that tonight he was one of the guys DJ was doing such a great job on Booker and a lot of times they’ll try to

Put Trey in pick and roll situations and you know he switched onto the ball a number of times and you know was able to get in and and uh get up into his man and and use his quickness um so you know as you said we we talked about that

Before um you know you guys know how I feel about him and um as I said it was it was it was good to see you know both he and DJ have the games they did and you know Trey did some special things tonight um

And I I don’t I don’t know that he did that because he had any extra motivation you’ll have to ask him that I just felt like he was playing to win he so uh Georgia is once again considering uh legalizing sports betting and I was wondering if you were at all

In favor of it or uh you think it could be beneficial for the state to invest in something like that you know that’s outside the scope of my job responsibilities I thought you guys were going to ask me more Personnel questions now it’s gone to gambling um so I I’m

Wise to stay out of you know political issues you know I I have my views on things but I I think they need to stay with me I’ll take you back to Personnel uh you talked the last couple of days getting Hunter back about getting size

And you didn’t have Hunter and you lost Bay mid game how did you manage that situation in a game where having size against Kevin Durant’s obviously a very useful thing yeah you know it’s tough to have size on him when he’s his size um you know West gave us some really good

Minutes um and that that was important he just scraps and competes and you know often times if you’re you know if you’re giving up giving up size you have to to be aggressive um and be competitive and do those things that you have control over so obviously sadik’s been I don’t know

When sadik might not have missed the game since junior high you know I mean he’s such a warrior so um you know hopefully he’s going to be okay and uh as you said you know we’ll figure it out coach you had a like you said had a

Good win tonight had a good win versus the Lakers a few days ago you have uh the Clippers coming in town and you have Golden State coming in tomorrow these tough games against these very unique teams regardless of what the conference is what have you seen from your team

Over this short stretch obviously you won three in a row now what have you seen so far you know with your team over this stretch and what is it that you’re wanting to continue to see as you go in and face these tough teams at home or

Whether you on the road as well know we’ve got to you know it seems like there’s a lot of tough stretches in this league um I think we’ve just competed collectively is the biggest thing and you know whether you shoot the ball well or not we we’ve continued to take our

Shots um but we’ve really competed on the defensive end and we’ve shared the ball in the offensive end guys have had a good feel for one another and play together you know and that’s a good formula um you know you you’ll be able to have some success and and certainly

Be in games when you play that way and it’s good to see thanks coach okay
