Chet Holmgren PostGame Interview | LA Clippers vs Oklahoma City Thunder

Yeah so I had a chance to work on some things so I you know I felt confident and refreshed and uh you know I’m excited for this this stretch of the season and when you you guys had 12 blocks for the game and they weren’t all you when you see other guys getting

Involved does that kind of just charge the whole team up is that is that an aggressive mindset for the team yeah we we we feed off each other um and I think we’re a team that where where it starts on defense you know everybody talks

About our offense what we do on that end of the floor but uh you know our game really feeds off what we do on defense and and the effort we have and we we did a good job of bringing it tonight and we just got to keep doing that going forward chat

You’re obviously a very versatile offensive player and you could probably just live off of just playing on the perimeter but you seemingly don’t let guys get bailed out on the interior like you got a couple rebounds over Harden tonight you did a pound dribble and did

A little baby hook over him is that a mentality you’ve always had of just not letting bailing smaller guys out or is that something newer uh I mean I think is something I have to continue to do better with and uh I’m going to continue to get better at um but I also

Understand you know I am as tall as I am so uh that’s just part of trying to make winning plays even if I wasn’t as tall as I am you know I still got to go crash the O boards uh and and try to make winning plays so but I mean it helps

When you’re taller too so and then going back to Allstar Weekend there was pictures of you and KD and I just wanted to ask are there any other Allstars or Hall of Famers legends that you got to interact with and anything else like that uh yeah I uh hung out with Shay a

Little bit um yeah it was cool uh I saw a bunch of those dudes um between different events and appearances and at the arena in the locker room uh you know you kind of bump into everybody um so it’s cool to see them uh you know props to everybody who

Made the game uh you you know welld deserved for everybody and um you know now it’s back to work Chad is a really physical game on both ends and you seem to really Embrace that can you tell me just about like how how it felt out there just like the physicality of the

Game tonight ah I mean it’s the NBA so that’s how it goes uh you know these are some of the best athletes in the world and uh everybody’s competitive you don’t make it here if you’re not competitive and physicality is just just a part of that you know that

Mesh of things I guess so uh it’s not just tonight it’s going to be every night and uh I gotta make sure I bring it else I sh up pardon that you probably been asked this question a bunch this year about your room protection like it’s your first year on the floor but

You were with this team this program all of last year while you was rehabbing the foot and I was curious as to how as a f as a player playing these NBA games for the first time in the season you’ve been so Adept at being in the right place

Even if you get the block or not obviously you got a lot of blocks tonight but there was a little in the rim whether you got blocks or not and that’s been the case for the defense most of this season how have you been able to lock in on that aspect of your

Position yeah I mean a huge part of it is just uh you know building that trust with the guys and um whether I get the block or not they have to trust that I’m going to be there so you know I make it a key for myself to to be there every

Time uh you know whether I get get dunked on somebody makes a layup uh you know if they make four in a row it doesn’t matter I got to be there on the fifth one and uh you know I feel like I’ve done a good job of that this season

Obviously I can continue to get better at um you know maybe blocking more shots or making them Miss more often or doing this better doing that better but um you know I I just really try to key in on uh building that trust with my teammates

And uh you know I feel like I’ve been doing a good job of that so far thank you CH y
