Hawks vs. Bucks Postgame Press Conference: Quin Snyder

Coach it seemed like uh coming out of the half uh the ball was going in a little bit better uh bogy kind of got a little bit hotter in the fourth quarter to helped cut it to to six what did you see from the spacing in the second half

That wasn’t quite working in the first well they’re so big um and I think you know you have to try to have if if you’re in transition you have a chance to attack right away um but a lot of our you know it was you know DJ and bogey

Doing the creating but it was after we’ you know got some movement had the ball move where we were attacking a defense that wasn’t set and I thought you know we had some really good possessions where we didn’t score um but the possessions did feel different in the

Second half we we actually started you know doing a better job reading their pick and roll coverages as well you know when they Lopez is way back when Porto is up and those things are all you know growth opportunities so to get to the point where we were down five out of

That one timeout like in a lot of ways that that was that was that was big you know for us to battle back like that and it’s a five-point game and thought we easily it would have been easy to capitulate when you’re looking at you

Know 7 foot 72 69 I mean that’s a big team and um we battled them coach kind of kind of picky backing off that you know Milwaukee being a unique team because you said basically pretty much have three seven Footers out there with Middleton Yannis and even

Lopez but when it comes to their ability to space the floor and being that big just talk about how difficult it is it’s one thing for them to hover around the paint and then be a Nuance like that but to be able to space the floor like they

Do and be that big just talk about how difficult it is to yeah I think you know the fact that Lopez can space it it impacts your matchups you know if you put a smaller guy on him well now he’s taking you right to the rim um it makes

It difficult to help on Giannis or on Middleton and a lot of those back down post-ups and isolation situations um and for us even if we don’t have size even when you do help sometimes they’re they’re looking over the top of you so yeah they’re hard to

Guard um when those guys are in isolation and post up and they have shooting around them um and then where they position their five you know if Lopez is on the top of the floor feeding the post it makes real hard for Clinton to help um so a lot going on in that

Regard and that’s why to be honest with you I felt like you know we were right there and I was you know I was pleased that we we competed to get to that point coach it seemed like along with um bogy and Wes kind of breaking the paint and

Getting some more ball movement Bruno’s energy in that third quarter throughout the top of the fourth was contagious um was that kind of felt by the team needed a lift I you know I Bruno said something to me at halftime about you know we need his emotion for one I think he he’s

Better that way um and that you know that energy we we can’t pass up shots you know and I know we shot 35 threes but if if we pass up a shot unless it’s a quick decision and it’s a drive and hopefully another shot you know when

They’re that big at The Rim it just makes it really hard so you know the the what you’re describing to me you know were those kind of multiple action possessions um where we’re able to generate some some good looks and uh that’s how we want to play that’s how we

Just need to keep getting better at it and know defense is a collective um you know effort and it seemed like in the first half Clint was on Giannis uh I think Dre was on Brooke and then yeah and then it kind of Switched in the second half I’m just curious what do

Those guys kind of bring defensively that made those better matchups well it you know better to the extent you have to start one way and and we felt like um that was the the right adjustment when when uh Lopez was just camped at The Rim

Um we wanted to try to put um more size on Giannis you know I I think you saw hunt and Wes you know just battling him but um it allows us to help a little bit more um and rebound a little better although we did a pretty good job on the

On the board so it know it’s hard to say what works and what doesn’t you know I didn’t think we executed as well in the first half and some of that could have been because we were crossmatched it’s hard to say so I’ll watch the tape okay all right thanks
