Postgame Interview: Bam Adebayo, Duncan Robinson, Terry Rozier III

B over the last couple games SPO has said it you guys have echoed it that these had to be the most professional approaches with energy and intentionality you guys checked the Box on both of those how nice looking back at these two wins is it able to do that

This time of year uh you know just being able to remain focused I know it’s uh close to playoff time but you know we got a couple games left so stay focused stay locked in until we get there I know you don’t worry a great deal about it

But let’s reverse it how nice is of getting guys back as you guys need as much as you can get at this juncture in the season I mean definitely grateful guys to come back um you know healthy bodies fresh legs um and then obviously it’s more voices and and you know it’s

Leadership at all levels you look at the upcoming schedule now I know it’s one at a time but the ant raised maybe from when playing Portland and Washington to every team you’re going to play now next four desperately searching for seaing how do you feel about where your team stands going into those

Games uh we just take it game by game you know we can’t worry about the next four we gotta worry about the next one uh and then we move on but getting a team like I mean there a different hunger level like the Knicks for example they could finish in four different

Spots sort of like you can also so what’s a game like that you know versus maybe what you’ve gone through the last two I mean both teams got something to lose at the end of the day uh so it’s going to be it’s going to be a little

More age uh you know they’re not going to we’re not going to walk in there and just get wins we got to earn them got like Terry it seems like maybe when there’s not as much energy either in the building or from the team that you need

It seems like he’s a kind of guy who’s always on you sort of get that feeling the way he sparked you early 20 points first half and just sort of got things go in and back in gear yeah uh I mean that’s what he’s here for he’s not here

To do anything else but you know be that spark be that light when we need him and obviously he runs the team well and uh keep stealing my rebounds but that’s a that’s a different ation for a different day he said the opposite thank you first

Of all just kind of walk us through the process of getting back there’s a lot of mystery around the syndrome and if you go do you know Dr MD stuff and try to learn what it is it felt like there might have been a longer run for you to

Get back but what a nice way to get back syndrome can be misleading can um but yeah I guess that’s the the medical name for whatever was going on but uh yeah I mean just trying to do everything I can to um get back on the floor obviously

I’m proud myself on being out there and being available so just doing whatever I could um to get back was there ever concern that it would be longer than this or there was there a plan in place from the beginning that would get you back a little quicker um yeah you know

It’s there’s definitely concern um it was an issue that had kind of like built up over time a little bit so um trying to be smart about managing it and um you know when I do come back I want to try to stay back you know not have to to be

In and out um to some continuity in that sense going back to Friday night connected to this game suppose use terms you know like uh intentionality and energy and and then building from that very minutely from from possessions to quarters to G I’m sure you’ve heard it

All that being said how nice is it that those these two results reflect that intention yeah I mean this time of year um really just about finding a way to win so uh obviously looked different than the other night but uh nonetheless I mean when on the road in the NBA’s

Hard and uh it’s a dangerous good young team so uh it’s good to get it how good did you feel after being off on those first two to start the second half boom boom and get that Rhythm back and see him just like you always say just see

Him go through yeah always nice to see him see him go through um yeah good to get a couple to go the schedule coming up I know it’s one at a time but it’s sort of a step up in in competition from Portland and and tonight to New York and then the big

Sixers game Houston desperate and of course then Indiana do you feel your team is well positioned now where you are and how you’re playing to go into a stretch like this yeah I mean we uh whoever’s available and ready to go you know we always feel like we have enough

So obviously you want to try to get guys back and just get as healthy as possible just so you have options but yeah we’re excited for this stretch we’re going to embrace it teams at the start there might not have been as much energy throughout the lineup and that you really tried to

Energize did you just sort of set out there to sort of hey let’s get us going and and bring it an instant energy to get get the guys going uh it kind of just got to be my job night in night out you know just trying to bring us energy

Um you know we know how important every game is um you know this from this point on and you know I’m just trying to you know control what I can control and and go out there and play hard you know everything else to take care of itself

Coach said even after the game he knew it would take time an adjustment is an adjustment no matter what but he can sense that you’re really coming along in that adjustment and growing more comfortable do you feel that when you’re the court yeah definitely definitely do

And you know these these group of guys are special to play with you know they always allow me allow me to be myself you know remind me and the coaches so you know I’m just you know thankful to be playing with these guys and you know

Just trying to look forward to to to for things to keep getting better how much fun is it to be in a playoff race it’s it’s great it’s great I mean you you know how my last four years went so just to be in this position to to be competing and to be

Important spot is it means a lot with all due respect to the Blazers and the Wizards your next four are against the Knicks the Sixers the Rockets are coming on that huge game against Indiana how do you feel about where your team is and how do you feel about going into this

Week that’ be the best to simulate for the how the playoffs is going to be this is a great four game stretch but we got to take it one game at a time I think that the Knicks we play next we got to worry about that one and get that one at

Home and protect home court you feel this team is now up to the moment the way it’s been playing the last few one six out of the last nine yeah I think we all feel that way you know obviously it’s it’s tough to win in this league

It’s going to be every every game not going to be easy like you know you show it tonight but uh we we feel like we can make our push and we will make our push how you feeling physically we got to note that you might have been dealing

With a knee but then I look down and you’re right there back out on the floor is it something that you got to Monitor and make sure you get treatment but can play through yeah I mean I’m going get treatment regardless you know it’s just something you know just being

Professional takeing care of your body but just a little discomfort I’m I’m good sure like yeah for sure my man appreciate the thank appr
