Postgame Interview: Terry Rozier III, Bam Adebayo

Postgame Interview: Terry Rozier III, Bam Adebayo

Terry was the thing that was most challenging there particularly in the third quarter when things weren’t rolling yet the way that you all needed it to uh you know it was just definitely tough when we went hitting our shots offensively and then kind of translated you know with our defense and then you

Know coach had to remind us you know what we here for and you know we kind of turned things around and then uh you know it just you know kept making shots and we just got this you know short in the stick tonight so yeah when you got

It to 85 that had to feel great but then now it’s trying to maintain it and keep going and try to close it out what was the hardest thing there down the stret uh you know just being on the road you know playing against a tough team like

That who’s you know got you know got some key players that you know that can really play you know we just got to do a better job of not getting in that position where we trying to fight back towards the end so uh you know just got

To move on and and you know wor about Cleveland bam after almost perfectly sparring Philly in the first half obviously the third quarter didn’t go the way you all wanted to particularly offensively what did you notice was the biggest challenge during that space uh we just got stagnant

Um I mean that’s really the simple answer I can give we just got stagnant um and the ball wasn’t moving and then you but you all find it using your defense to get some easy buckets offensively and get things rolling you get it to 85 all and then it just

Becomes challenging again to get past it because you have to dig out of a hole of 17 I imagine makes it even harder to just kind of sustain from there yeah I mean but down the stretch I feel like we had a lot of lapses offensively um you

Know overp passing the ball uh not really being aggressive taking shots um know for us it’s just getting on the same page I know everyone’s dealing with something but what does it say about Duncan coach was saying he barely could move before the game try to give it a

Shot out there to try to play for the back it’s just uh the respect you have for the game respect you have for Duncan you know know for him to go out there and even attempt trying to play when he could barely move bam you to get a shot

In the fourth quarter was that something they did was that something you guys didn’t do uh I think it’s something we didn’t do and and and why so was that a a case of I mean did you feel the or com to your direction did you feel you

Get yourself in a spot did you feel was they maybe what they were do may they were crowding it it was hard to get the ball in a lot of moving parts to that but you know that’s a that’s a spell question uh so when you go interview spell you

Can ask him are you tired of dealing with guys being in and out of the lineup just and not having your whole group I don’t uh let me see I can word this no um because you can’t dictate injuries you can’t tell guys to play through you

Know some some injuries that are that are obviously really bothering them uh uh and me included uh for us is next man up always you know we’ve won games with eight guys before so you know when you got guys out you know you still got a chance to be

Clear I more just meant the fact that or would how excited are you to see what this group can do when you have everybody available I wasn’t trying to say that no no no yeah uh it’s going to be a dope experience just for all of us

To be healthy again all us be out there together and all us trying to figure out how we can get wins and uh make a deep playoff run
