THIS Unlocks The Phoenix Suns
Yeah like what we did made shots move the ball um 29 assists um pretty good 14 turnovers could have been better I had to too many um but yeah we mve the ball shot 50 40 90 almost you know solid game starts out that said that he
Don’t don’t all a sudden that’s helps you get one onone yeah most definitely most definitely I mean you get 26 points from somebody in the first uh first half now the defense got to play a little honest and respect everybody on the floor because he’s opening up the floor
For everyone with his shooting his quick shooting um and just two games in a row he started off super aggressive for us and that’s what we goingon to need going forward get in the line they’ been a struggle the Denver game and I guess what you feel like tonight maybe you did
Differently if anything at all I mean this a young team and um you could tell they played a little different scheme just I can hear that coach just like telling them body me up every time so when you don’t play like that every night sometimes you’re not really accustomed to that type of
Game and you might be prone the fouls a little bit you know so off the ball I was able to get a couple fouls guys reaching just trying to play hard nothing ious but um you could be over physical if you’re not really playing that branded basketball every night so
Um I’m glad I was able to just play through it and get some get to the free throw line shooting league know how quickly a team can get back into it coach was saying for the game we’ lost too many games like this how did you like the way
You guys jumped out in front then were able to stay in front yeah we just kept out Poise we we they cut it to five I mean this team was you got to get them credit they don’t ever stop playing their champ Championship organization who understands how to win a basketball
Game and they’re not going to stop coming at you and um they cut lead to five to seven a couple times but I felt like we still had good momentum they made shot they made a couple threes to get him back into the game but I felt
Like our defense was solid uh and we was able to get some good shots on the other end so just about playing through everything having resilience and understanding that team’s going to make a run especially the new era of basketball with a three-pointer could keep anybody in the game I don’t get
Enough credit for how quickly you get off the ball espe when help come post that something you always had or when did you in your when did you start yeah when teams start doubling more frequently I mean I I didn’t used to see as many doubles in the
Post um earlier in my career and you know so and I and you know playing quick basketball weekend we put two on the ball that’s usually you know you done your job at that point so I just try to get as you know put two on the ball as
Much as I can if they’re going to double in the post we going to have to utilize that so we can get backside threes drive so um I feel like you know when team start to put more pressure on me in the post and double me more I
Just um try not to make get the assist but just get the ball rolling for our offense so you know been happening for a while now yeah I mean coaches expecting Brad to um play a role I mean he bought the ball up before but I think he’s playing
Like traditional point guard right now where he’s setting up the offense every single time down um he’s giving up shots for his teammates you know he’s penetrating every time trying to kick out you know so um he’s one of those players that can do everything and any
Situation you put him in he’s going to figure it out and he’s unselfish player so you unselfish and you got the skills that he has that then you can adapt to anything how is it to Fight Fire with Fire against Bost shows up T of yeah also Grayson he is you’re
Basically Grays Grand over yeah I mean we just gotta play ibrand the ball move the ball take shots when they there try to keep the ball in our hands not turn it over and play physical defense you know so we know this everybody in the league shoots
A lot of threes and I feel like his emphasis in every locker room to get at least 43s up a night Boston may get 63s up 53s up some nights um you know because they got guys from one to five that can shoot threes um so we had ni so
We got a lot of shots up made a lot of Threes with high efficiency um you know so we got to just be ready to play our game but it starts on the defensive side yeah I mean it’s kind of like pick your poison if you want
To um double me on the catch then we gonna get backside threes backside cuts um but more than anything we got stops and ran out we a to get a couple transition threes as well mixed in so it wasn’t just all off of Post up or me being double I think Grayson handling
The ball drilling up shooting threes us getting stops that that helps the momentum to get more threes up when you can run in transitions so uh we just want him confident to be aggressive you know and that’s what he was tonight yeah just a little just a little Stinger but it’ll be all
Right you guys won 45 games last year7 now what do you think the potential of um I mean I like who we are right now I think we keep growing I mean that’s the that’s the best thing about it is that we still got room to grow as a team
And we’re getting more and more comfortable with one another as the days go on so we only could get better I’m just kind of curious about your general thoughts on Boston so far they been playing incredible they had an incredible year th far best Star
Five in the league by far um I think they had 50 wins already 49 48 wins one of those you know just up they got a big lineup with versatile guys up and down their lineup and they’ve been around each other for a while now so they stand
One another and adding Drew was huge adding Chris dos was huge so U we got our work cut out fors but I’m looking forward to the challenge it’s I me not really about trying to keep up with them you know what I’m saying we just be aggressive
And take our shots that are there you know so we can’t try to just jack up a three because they jacked up a three we still got to play our game and generate the shots that we usually generate but more more more than anything we got to
Be on point defensively for 24 seconds every possession I feel like every game every practice is tune up for the playoffs um first first day practice up until you know the last time you get on the floor I think it’s all the tune up um you looking to just get better and build
Habits as a team and as individuals
