Sam Hauser Explains Plane Ride After Celtics Game 4 Loss | NBA Finals Practice

Sam Hauser Explains Plane Ride After Celtics Game 4 Loss | NBA Finals Practice

I guess just let’s begin with what was it like to watch the film and and how motivated are you guys to get it done here Monday night yeah we’re definitely excited to get back on the court and uh you know to put our best forward in game five and um yeah we just definitely you know after a loss like that you’re always feel like there’s a little extra motivation just to get back on the court and get going again and did you even look at the film or is it kind of it seemed like it was one of those nights for you guys uh we haven’t watched anything yet but I’m sure we’ll probably watch a little bit at least um see what you know kind of went wrong how we can get better from it and and learn from it Sam do you have a specific postgame routine and how does that change after a win versus L I wouldn’t say it changes from win to loss it’s pretty pretty similar every game to be honest with you Jo talked about learning from wins the same way you learn from losses how does that process work like does he just do the same thing is there any extra emphasis or is it truly like the same process after every game no matter what yeah I’d say it’s pretty similar I mean you’re never perfect in a win or a loss so I feel like there’s always room to grow and improve and I think he does a good job of that of just keeping us grounded uh even after you know we were on a 10 game winning streak before this in the playoffs which is pretty rare um so um but also highlighting that that that’s a pretty successful accomplishment but um you know coming off a loss like that is the last one of the it’s been a good season obviously crowd wise here it’s been a good playoff run but what do you expect it to be like here yeah uh I think Jason said it the other night but um you know we expect to be as loud as it has been all season so we’re we’re really excited and how much fun is it to play in a game like that and yeah you crave that as an athlete as a player uh you dream of it and you know you know to be a part of it it’s pretty special as well and how badly do you want to get it done yeah I mean it would be awesome to get it done it would be it’d be great um um I mean if we do lose it’s not like it’s the end of the world there still we would still be up 3-2 but obviously you know doing it at home would be pretty special Sam for you on an individual level you had a good game um in a loss like that is there a sense of like you can take this Rhythm and continue moving forward or do you not even like think about your individual performance yeah you know it’s a weird balance almost it’s kind of it’s hard to like take moral victories from that but also in the same breath you know it’s nice to see some go through on on the offensive end and things like that but uh yeah it’s kind of a weird fine line of you know pulling some good things from it but also understanding that we lost by 40 so um yeah I guess yeah just shooting in general when you’re making your shots like in games are you also finding them when you’re shooting around like in warm-ups at practice you’re in a better Rhythm and then but you know conversely when you’re not shooting well in games are you finding that you’re going to shoot around and you’re struggling or is it like not at that Associated yeah uh um to be honest like some of my best games I’ve had as a player are like my worst shooting performances in like a pregame shooting or at shoot around and um but some of my worst nights have been when I felt really good in warm-ups so I feel like there’s like no correlation to be honest with you it’s just kind of like the rhythm of the game the feel for the game when you’re out there it’s kind of like a starting pitchure in the bullpen has great stuff comes out and lowsy and then he has awful stuff and throws a no hitter right right yeah so it’s kind of like causation right in correlation I think and how much confidence is it confidence just building that confidence you came out of the Indiana series and you know I think your first game here boom boom you hit a couple that kind of thing that get you going mentally as well yeah I just think just having a the same approach every day and being professional knowing that you know you always got to shoot the next one like it’s going in and just have Supreme confidence in yourself I mean I put put so much hours in and time and effort to not be confident in myself in that ability and I know it’s one of the things I do best so just continuing to to shoot every shot like the next one’s going on when so much your defense is kind of those individual efforts guarding one-on-one you go back after a game and watch you know your individual defensive possessions on the ball and how do you kind of evaluate those coming out of a game yeah um definitely you know definitely look at it after every game and um see what it’s like you know it’s tough against players like that sometimes you can play really good defense and they make a shot so I think if you know they’re shooting shots you’re willing to live with then I would consider it a good possession rather if they score or not um you know but if you’re doing things like not taking a tendency away and they score like that um then I would view that as something I can work on so little things like that is what I looked at would you feel like last game was more aive when you look back on it like taking the Tendencies away or just making tough shots I’d say probably both I mean they’re good players you know it’s going to happen from time to time where there’s a breakdown and and they get a bucket but uh feel like a lot of us last game we’re you know not our best selves on that end of the floor and um we’re looking to bounce back and then people always wonder like how could you not play with effort in the finals and I feel like sometimes a misunderstanding of what playing with effort actually is from your standpoint is it like sometimes a skill thing like you’re just struggling to get picked of the ball and it’s like a little bit contagious or is there like from someone who’s actually in the position how would you explain it to people who are non professional athletes who just sit there and say like why aren’t they playing harder yeah well uh I I mean I feel like you go into every game and you’re not like I feel like you have to try not to play hard in the NBA Finals to be honest I don’t think we were trying not to play hard it just like some things in the game it just kind of H the way it goes sometimes like you know you could climb up into a guy on a possession and you know they miss a shot they get offensive rebound kick out three it’s not like of a lack of effort it’s more of just sometimes like a bounce doesn’t go your way or things like that but there’s definitely some plays in the game like 50/50 balls that we didn’t get that we had been getting earlier in the series that uh may you know show a little bit less effort I guess that we can learn from but I wouldn’t say we go out there and don’t give our best effort uh um I feel like that’s hard to to make a claim on that one can you quickly forget is that easy for you to do as a professional athlete I feel like that’s kind of the the nature of our business like the game so fastpaced that you kind of have to have like a a next play mentality almost um you know they score you know we have to get it out of bounds and run up the floor quick and and get into offense so it’s hard to really dwell on certain things for an extended period of time in in basketball because it’s such a fast-paced game how about losses how long do you give yourself to you know yeah and then just flush it yeah in probably like a day or the rest of that night and then you got to flush it and then watch film grow from it learn from it and um you know we got a game tomorrow so uh it’s time to learn from it and flush it and get ready for tomorrow Dallas did a lot of different things that caught you perhaps a little bit by surpris we started in the fourth quarter of game three but the rebounding difference was really stunning is it because you were put in positions that you’re normally not to put into in a game against Dallas uh I think they made a conert like Like A Better Effort at at getting to the glass and um I think we can do a better job of blocking out finding guys and keeping them off the glass I know sometimes you know a bad balce happens but I think a lot of it is on us um feel like they got a lot of free runs to the rim and and we able to get pretty free offensive rebounds which is something that we can definitely learn from and get better Sam bit of a random question you hear about guys around the league like Bruce Brown and Jimmy B who are super into country music who would you say the team has the most unique music taste h a unique taste it’s just yeah have you seen Luke cornette danc into like the Moana soundtrack I feel like his T probably up there it’s a it’s a wide variety and then a couple years ago the Red Sox had a song Dancing On My Own was like a remix and that was their like the team song like a c motivated do you guys have anything like like that I I wouldn’t say we necessarily have one song cuz it kind of switches up depending on who is in control of the music so can’t say there’s one song and it I it’s definitely not the Moana soundtrack I was going to say you’re not motivated hear Moana playing through no definitely not Luke is though good for him you know he’s got the dance pretty good to I’m sure he hears a lot of it with his two young ones so I know you said some of the conversations about that game are going to wait till you got back to Boston what was that trip back like and what were you know once you guys reou those conversations like about the game um honestly after that night you know I I feel like we kind of just tried to leave it in the past a little bit and you know the plane flight was good we were all in in a better mood and but definitely you know it’s in the back of all of our heads like we got to play better and you know coming back home it’s going to be pretty special here tomorrow night with the with the with the crowd and all that so just want to put our best look forward your passing was off as a team fewer passes and not as precise but the Dallas or something you can face uh probably both honestly they did a better job we can be more sharp that’s kind of all I got to say on that probably yeah hey one last thing we’re asking everyone here about their first Trash Talk experience in the league uh do you remember one man I’m not a very I feel like i’ never talk when I’m out there so I feel like people don’t necessarily talk to me that much honestly so maybe it’s benches like when you’re going to shoot a three in the corner or something may I don’t know I you would have to let me think on that one I have nothing on the spot here to give you honestly I’m sorry right and if you think about trust Talkers in the league people have said I don’t know that LCA talks or that Pat B talks do you have someone in mind that always he’s talking uh I feel Bobby poris talks a lot but I feel like he’s always like kind of just talking to himself honestly and that like just to Hype himself up so yeah you might have to ask Drew about that one I’m not sure all right yeah thanks no problem good thank you no problem thanks
