Ime Udoka PostGame Interview | Houston Rockets vs Brooklyn Nets
Force energy into things yeah I mean you saw how flat we were early especially in the first quarter I think they made their first 11 shots or so and then you know that’s the only quarter we really lost as was the first 35 to 15 and no juice no carryover momentum from
Yesterday and um so look for a group that could get after it mix it up um you know sometimes you want to interject some energy into them by um scheming it up a little bit for us to be more aggressive and that helped I keep going out supposed to miss
The second free throw yes and you mentioned just the the group playing greater energy there were some timeouts where it looked like you tried to Kickstart something but especially the one after the wide open finny Smith 3 oh um what were you trying to express or was it
Different from other timeouts and other situations yeah I probably got mad than other times but um you know just lack of communication leading to wide open baskets and that was just carryover from the first quarter and so my message to the starters was come prepared you know come have some carryover from yesterday
What you did so well and then to the second unit was when you come in the game be prepared have a feel for how the game is going um you know cam Thomas gets it going a little bit early and the guys come in Off the Bench not ready to
Guard him and so um yeah that’s a little bit of that and then not communicating and giving up wide open shots and transition just a bad night for us to have our worst overall effort and and focus game from from the whole team in general usually
You have a guy or two that kind of can stem the tide a little bit and give us a spark and we didn’t have that tonight so I tried to do a little bit myself but um you know you you think you have momentum based on the second half from last night
In Charlotte and came out very flat tonight so got to do a better job of getting our guys ready to play and understanding what the NBA is about and back the backs and focus and playing through fatigue can this be beneficial then with that in mind lesson of what can go wrong
How it can be when you do it right yeah definitely and that’s what I said we played a quarter half of basketball um you know down 28 20 half time got ourself back in it had several chances even late down five where we turned it over or took some tough shots after
Sharing the ball and then obviously missing the free throw late chance to go you know tie it up late so you know that’s a lesson there is that we bring that same energy that same juice to the game and we’re in great shape and you kind of saw it last night even okay
First half where we’re up two and then you know in the second half and basically today like I said we played half of the third quarter and in the fourth with the right intensity what’ you see from cam tonight aggression you know he made a few mistakes defensively
I think all of our guys did obviously in the first half guys were not um prepared to guard some guys specifically cam Thomas coming out but um him being aggressive you know even then you know guys try to do it one-on-one at times and I think our team got caught up in
That a little bit in the in the second half where you know you’re driving to the basket the whole crowd is around you and you know you got to find guys and so um he gets caught up in that as well a lot of our guys do young guys but in
General trying to do it themselves but he was very aggressive and and kind of got after it um went with the small lineup with him and Jan guarding their bigs and they did a great job all right thank you thank you
