Doc Rivers Postgame Press Conference | 3.14.24

Doc Rivers Postgame Press Conference | 3.14.24

Early fourth uh Bobby and AJ combined for 12 straight yeah in a 12-3 run that really flipped it just um what did and then obviously AJ had had some responsibilities on Maxi so what kind of lift did did those two provide in that they were huge you know I was probably

More proud of uh Bobby uh because I thought they sped Bobby up in the first half got under his skin uh a little bit and you know Bobby and I thought he he caught himself uh there in the second half and really helped us uh then AJ was

Just terrific you know spacing the floor um you know once on the switch we trapped and his job was after that to deny uh Maxi and he did a great job of doing that um speaking of Tyrese I mean he scores 29 through three quarters and

It’s kind of getting those buckets to to can maybe stay of off momentum um but you tough ones too the three by Tobias and you know it’s just one of those nights I um I thought in the first half we turn the ball over a 100 times and

Then we had three in the second and then I thought trapping Maxi just getting the ball out of his hands too fast too good uh when you mentioned the ter I mean first half in general I think you know 10 turnovers uh with that just any particular reason as to maybe why I

Thought they were more physical in the first half I thought uh they were the instigator the entire first three quarters uh they instigated all the actions um they denied us they uh they fought us they trapped us they pushed us uh I thought we were on the floor more

Than them you know bottom line and I thought in the fourth quarter it flipped I mean that’s what I was just going to ask about it was a really physical game tonight um do you feel like that’s a game that you guys can excel at I feel like it’s a a game we

Should excel at um I didn’t I don’t think we did tonight until the fourth quarter but with our size it to me I if if I’m going to get in that mud wrestling or track meat with this team I want the mud you know I don’t want to

Get in the track meat you know so uh it kind of fit what we should be uh I just didn’t think we handm it well tonight um you mentioned just how quick Tyrese is and and trying to get the ball out of his hands um that’s a thing you guys

Have had to kind of do during your time here how you how do you feel like the guys have reacted to the traps and and kind of I mean tonight Brooke we had Brooke up trapping um the fact that uh like Brooke in the second half was absolutely unbelievable defensively uh

Trapped got back into coverage um you know we were laughing he said now we know you know we haven’t done it with him we’re laughing he said no I can’t do that you know cuz that’s that’s tough for Brooke honestly but with maxi you just had to be up otherwise he’d come

Downhill at at brook or whoever they are and you’re in trouble um on top of that Brooke hits 5 threes he has that big one late again just what have you seen from him as a shooter lately to hit some you know he’s he’s a great shooter we just

Haven’t done a good job of giving them the ball honestly and um you know we ran that two-man game again again and we put Brooke right there and we kept saying i’ said every play at some point they’re going to leave you be ready to shoot that’s why he was turn around was

Pointing because that was the one that was a big one for us hey Doc your your bench was very vocal and they have been with you since you got here and congrats on your 21st game uh Jesus that many already wow yeah um can you talk about the value in

Having a team where even if you’re down a certain number of points they’re still there baking each other up yeah we have a great bench you know um our guys are very active um we have two guys to me in particular Pat Beverly when he’s on the

Bench and than asses they are amazing on the bench and they’re not just yelling stuff they’re actually watching the game uh they’re helping guys out uh I mean theas I’ve bet four or five times have come to me the one time he said hey make sure you tell Brook good job but and

Things like he’s literally in the game um probably one of the best benches I’ve had as far as that with energy and it’s been fun to coach all those guys doc back here um I I know you weren’t where I guess you’re already 21 games in but

But with a month left in the season what kind of things do you see from this game as you’re trying to build things towards the the playoffs that you think you want to car over for the next well I don’t know what I saw from this game um

Because this was a game that probably they wanted to get home we wanted more rest if you know what I mean this is one of those trap games uh first game back um guys are banged up I was very concerned about this game tonight with

That but I thought we kind of hung in there um I did like our end of the game execution uh we had the one play where we didn’t get in anything we uh I think we turned it over got a bad shot and I yelled out Dame get us organized every

Time down the floor and he did that and that’s why it helps because you know where everybody’s at and so that’s something we’re going to have to do and get better and better at and we did it well tonight thanks guys let’s go Marquette
