Damian Lillard Postgame Press Conference | 3.26.24

Uh I mean I thought we got a lot of good looks we just missed shots you know we missed a lot of shots tonight um and that was that was pretty much what it came down to you know I thought we got clean looks I could remember a

Bunch of times where we just got a look and I was like okay we going to hit that one and you know settle in and it seemed like we just kept kept missing you know getting clean looks and I think sometimes when you um then get away from

You know what you’re doing to dominate another team and uh you forget what went into that success you get put yourself up against it and um you know they got a lot of talented players you know we saw that when we played them in La um but

They started to hit shots they started believing and our shots stopped falling and sometimes that’s the way the the ball bounces which is why you got to stay disciplined you know so you don’t give the team life you know and um we gave them life they started to play with

A different step and um you know I thought we just didn’t make shots and when it’s going that way you put yourself in a darkg fight and that’s what we did and we came up short I know late you can rely on you know the first action right so there’s not turnovers

And stuff like that um did you feel like you guys were not moving the ball quite enough late or yeah we didn’t uh you know I thought where we heard them most the ball was moving it was like first side second side attack you know the

Ball was the ball was dictating you know where the shot was and I think down the stretch you know we all kind of held on to it a little bit more I know I held on to it um a little bit more more than I probably should have at times uh same

Thing with Chris same thing with Yiannis you know we all just kind of wanted to write the ship you know was trying to be aggressive in attack and um I think it ended up hurting us in the end um you’re a team that gets to the line a lot

Rarely are you doubled up I guess in that way um did it feel that way did it feel free throws yeah like I think had 32 Y at 17 um I mean I think sometimes it’s just like that you know some games it’s like that um I did feel like it was

A few times where you know we got called for a foul and I was just like man it’s it’s been a long time since they called something like that you know it was a lot of those types of calls but um regardless of that I thought we we were

I think up 19 with under 8 minutes to go in the game and um for the team we are you know we got to go ahead and wrap that up and win this game but like I said um sometimes the ball just bounces different um and when you don’t um stay

Disciplined and do the things that go into how we built that League you know that those leagues can go away quick in this league with with the shooting us that’s in the league like they did tonight and that was what happened so I mean obviously we all look back and it’s

Like man they call this but they didn’t call that but it was a lot of things we could have done better to where that wouldn’t even been effective how hard is that said when you get away from yourself in that last down the stretch how hard is it to like try to correct

That in the moment like what what are the the ways or keys that you guys try to do that I think it’s it’s kind of tough in the moment because you get in that situation and we’re a veteran team you know I’ve been in that situation a

Ton where it’s a close game a team has momentum and I’m like I’m about to I’m about to pause this you know like I’m about to make something to happen we going to get something quality and jannis has done the same thing Chris has done the same thing um you know bees is

A big shot maker Bobby is a big shot maker so I think we kind of just had that mentality and um like I said it just came back to hurt us because on the flip side with the amount of talent that we have on our team and the amount of

Guys we have that can make that shot is even more of a reason why we should just trust the the way we have been playing cuz it’s going to end up in somebody’s hands that could make a shot except it probably would have been a higher

Quality shot so um you know I think that’s the one thing that that we could have done you know in that situation
