Brian what allowed them to create separation in the second and third quarters uh they closed the quarter really well at the end of the half um made a little mini run going into halftime and then they made a couple threes to start the third quarter and we actually just missed some shots that

Were wide open so we were the process was good and they got a little separation right there but credit to our guys we got down the 10 with four to go so we made a nice push at the end um so I was really really happy with that part

And I I think this was the most we saw Tristan on the court what what stood out to you about the game he had uh you know he’s he’s kind of fit in we’re throwing him out there we’re discovering a lot about him as we’re he’s becoming part of

Our group but he’s you know he’s got a good skill set you know obviously can space the floor but he uses his length at The Rim to protect and good basketball IQ Brian Anthony Gil has been good for you in a couple games in this kind of last stretch of the season but

What did you like from him tonight he tied a career high oh that’s great um he uh he has great intangibles like Anthony is always ready that’s the one thing you can say about Anthony Gil that when his numbers call he’s R is going to produce and he’s going to be able to

Execute the game plan and we always have complete trust in him uh you know thrilled that he had it seems like a career night for him but like he’s been doing this every game and every opportunity that he’s had and that’s what we expect of him and he does

It Brian how do you feel about uh the team’s Readiness to play and and just its overall approach after last game yeah I I thought our process was good tonight I thought the ball got a little sticky and the movement wasn’t as great last game um I thought tonight that our

Our process was good especially offensively 27 assists I thought we were really moving it and we didn’t shoot the three like we usually did um guys that usually make shots did not so I thought our our ball movement our Pace was great um I thought our defense was you know

Coming and going at times fouled a little bit too much but overall I thought our approach was right it was good coach what have you learned about guys like um Jules Bernard Jared Butler Anthony Gil even uh over these last few games when they’ve gotten increased minutes uh that that they’re ready win

Their opportunities called that they’re professionals um that when we need them they step in and they produce and they do the right thing um we talked about this quite a bit but it’s a huge credit to our players but also our development system and our use of uh the go go

But that’s the one thing that’s been super positive about everybody who’s needed to contribute or called upon they’ve always been ready and very professional

  1. Great job by coach Keefe he s been great since he came and been improving progressively the team Game Plan.
    If Coach Keefe kept Bagley in to finish Last 3 Games and he played him at leats 30 Min each games they would have won without a doubt all the last 3 Games, cause not only Bagley could have get 22 to 25 points on average on those games as he has get his rythm back and had a hot hand, Bagley would have won the Wizards the Paint game aswell to close these games right, taking these offensive rebounds which we lacked the most (or at least giving other players second opportunity shots).

    Im sure coach kept Bagley out to keep him healthy, so I aint mad at him at all the season being almost over and it allowed others to play. He should put Vukcevic at Center Im sure he will grab many rebounds and is a Big that can shoot 3 points too we have seen it since his 1st game he is very comfortable at that exercise.

    Baldwin Jr lacked of scoring the 3 cost us a lot, he should have penetrate and not force those 3s, specialy when we need to score (and not let the other team get a too big of a lead ) we should do like Antony Gill did , penetrate and get easier 2's with more people cutting like the team did lthe ast couple games.

    Salute to the players and the staff, I was also quite immpress by Butler who should lead the offense more in the money time because he has a great patience and IQ to use the clock and select the right play compare to Poole which is great but need to learn from Butler in that category.

    Much Love from a Vet french Baller , love you guys ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–
