Willie Green on road trip, win over Detroit | Pelicans at Pistons Postgame 3/24/2024
Congrats coach strong road trip overall I would say um what’s your evaluation what did you like best about this road trip uh I like that we were really sound defensively we forced them into some tough shots um you know these games can be tough sometimes
Um last game of a road trip they have guys out but I like the fact that our group we did what we needed to do on their home floor and took care of business it seems like you might be managing these minutes just a little bit differently he played the enti first
Quarter tonight uh do you feel like you’re finding some traction with that he had it going tonight in the first quarter he kind of got it going maybe like Midway through we wanted to let him go a little bit and that’s all that was
Yeah yep yep CJ 11 points for you in the fourth he seems to really be stepping up in terms of offensive aggression in the absence of bi yes he is CJ was great he uh you know started off a little slow but he got it going throughout the course of the game
And that’s what he does night in and Night Out CJ’s a guy that he he’s steady he’s going to get you you know 18 to 20 two points five assists five rebounds and uh he hit some big shots for us in in that third and fourth quarter how
Have you found your bench especially in the absence of VI you’ve had to change rotations play deeper into your reserves uh it’s just a matter of trusting in our guys you know nii Jose Larry we put hwk out there for a little bit you know so the guys work at it they
They understand you know what we’re dealing with and everybody collectively has to continue to step up and I know you say you take the season intense you got 11 left overall and a huge home stand coming up with some crazy good opponents what’s your goal for that home
Stand stand what are you looking for well first is to get back home uh get a little rest and and then get ready to go we want to take care of home court that’s the biggest thing for us is focus on one game at a time focus on one
Opponent and let’s try to attack it from from that perspective will the luxury of having Trey and her defensively just not many teams can just throw wings out there that can defend the way that those guys can defend like how much of a luxury is that you know schematically for you it’s
A luxury it’s a blessing to have all of those guys that has they have the size and the strength the speed the IQ to be able to guard multiple positions and we work at it and that’s the that’s the entire component is all of those guys are blessed with talent and we we
Continue to work at it watch it on film and it’s amazing to see that we can bring in Wing after wing and all of our guys are committed to defending and trying to get out in the open floor and play
