Brook Lopez Press Conference | 1.10.24



Brook Lopez Press Conference | 1.10.24

Even since you’ve been here there’ have been sort sort of these stretches be it four five games losing streaks or three and five four and six kind of thing what’s in that experience what’s kind of the the key weathering these moments and then coming out to where to where you

Want to be yeah all great teams go through them so um you know it’s it’s important to take what we can uh the positives from these experiences regroup you know and know that they’re in the long run they’re good for us um you know and and uh you know we we’ll look back

At at these moments these stretches as as the things that made us better um Chris Hest said to the same sort of question is you know the Stay Together kind of free I guess what does that mean and I know every team is different even

If some the guys are the same but what is is that just like you know communication or just sort of camaraderie type of thing what do that broadly kind of mean yeah it’s both those things and others you know I mean uh we don’t have any bad guys on this

Team or anything like that but uh you know we we we’re all out there we trust in one another but just sticking with uh sticking with our team’s beliefs our team system everything like that you know knowing we all buy it and we all have each other’s backs everything’s

Going to be fine you talk lot about the defense when you’re think ways that you guys can improve what do you kind of circle is like you know actionable things that we can get done tomorrow night or just the short term yeah the there’s a lot of things you know I think

I think energy and effort um can definitely better be better for a full 48 minutes uh pretty much 9 night out um communication uh you know things of that nature that don’t that don’t take you know a specific Talent set or size or any attributes like that you know just

Just going out there and and trying to help help the team be better help your teammates be better uh that puts everyone uh in a position to be better defensively prob you mention first Celtics you know they’re switch everything team you didn’t have to deal with that you score oneon-one the

Rockets are very similar defensively in doing that what do you feel like you maybe took from that Rockets game offensively but how you guys can attack you know a switchy defensiv yeah I it was good for us to see that uh in Houston um you know we’re so blessed

That we have so much talent you know at times we can just get by you know doing the simplest thing to do but uh you know uh it showed us you know we have to have other tricks up Our Sleeve we have to have second third

Options uh move the ball side to side and have that trust you know sticking together we need to stick together we have to have that trust so we can do that I mean you had said something similar kind of after that road trip where I’ve seen different things from

Brooklyn and Cleveland and the Knicks what if um is that the I don’t want to say the hard part because you said it’s good to see different things and I have to react to it yeah but it obviously isn’t always going to go the way you

Want no no no no no yeah so how is that something where you just rely on yourself you rely on your experience or’s at a team thing where it’s like okay well this didn’t go well but it’s it’s both you know and and you you take your Intel you the know their learning

Experiences and you figure out all right you know this is what we did this time this is what the result was you do that individually and as a team and you look at what you can do better going forward for the next game and next time you play

That team whatever’s in front of you and just keep using that to get better Celtics and then also last as well kind of a slow start do you see similarities of things happening that allows you get get behind as much as you have I I think it’s just more a

Mentality thing than anything you know we have to come out ready to go every single game regardless of who we’re playing you know knowing that uh teams are always going to be up to play us you know they they want to come out they want to beat us they want to play hard

Against us us and you know we have to go in ready to go from the get go every single day I saw that I guess just for you that’s passion for you how did it get to that point and just how excited are you about getting

Into it uh it’s something that you know I’ve always had that love for reading you it’s come from my family you know and uh uh being out here I I I’ve been here for a while now so I’ve had a chance to to kind of leave that

Footprint uh um you know uh and and my mom has spearheaded everything really she’s the one that gets everything done so you know she’s out here right now she’ll be there at the event with Robin and I as well and we’re really looking forward to it but um so having Robin

With you yeah is that a challenge for these things oh no it’ll be good he’s probably a similar reading level to some of these kids so it’ll be good for him you can you can pick out a couple books himself as well you all Dre already yeah I think he’ll receive the

Best reception you know uh he he brought this city brought this team a championship he got me a championship you know I I expect nothing for but the best for him
