Duop Reath Media Availability | Portland Trail Blazers | February 7
So yeah how do you think things been going for you lately I been going good um obviously I think we’ll be playing a little bit better um yeah it’s been fun just we just try to work on ourselves try to get better just keep growing as a team you haven’t necessarily looked
Uncomfortable but you definitely seem like you’re more in the flow of everything that’s going on and feeling like from the outside it seems like you feel pretty confident in your role and what you’re doing yeah I think the whole team feels the same way um everybody just kind of like getting comfortable
Playing with each other as well and um everybody’s getting healthy too so that helps and um yeah just more reps together um everybody’s getting know each other more off the court so I think just that is making everybody more comfortable you went from not playing at
All to playing a little bit and starting and playing a lot and your role has kind of changed a bit as the season that’s gone on how do you adjusted to that uh I think he’s staying ready no matter what um so just keep working uh yeah just
Being prepared um but then again just the coaches uh also just helping me too you know um just letting me know what my role is and being very clear on what they want from me so that makes it really easy have you gotten good response to the video on P I don’t think
A lot of people really knew your story before that came out you got a lot yeah I got some pretty good response um people people like it so so shout out to te for uh for doing it and um yeah so just shout out to matis whose idea was
That was that his or yours your some uh matis is definitely Maes um yeah he just want to like just show that different side of um of my story as well but I’m sure that he’s going to you know see what the future holds for him
What do you like about playing to the up national um it’s just something that something that’s been built like a culture that’s been built there for like uh I don’t know for a long long time and um it’s it’s a style that you got to like pretty much just when you go and
Play over there you got to um yeah you got to adapt to that style of play you know um you can’t just come in and do what you like how you want to play you got to kind of play the style that they want to like they’ve been
Doing forever and um it’s is fun it’s fun style of basketball um Everybody enjoys enjoys that system so it’s just fun what do you you feel like it’s been helpful for you in your career to to have that experience with the national team uh definitely um definitely definitely
Helped me throughout my career and um just playing that different kind of basketball definitely added to added to my career were you uh were you hopeful to play in the with the sophomore game uh no I didn’t really think about that I think I’m too old to play that game I mean
There’s not a rule yeah no I don’t think yeah I didn’t really think yeah I don’t really think of that is that something you would want to do I mean it would be fun but that’s not really something that was really important like that but um
But shout out to the guys that are going um scoo say so they’re going to do their thing well part of the reason why I asked too is because with Shaden having surgery it seems fairly unlikely he’s going to be competing at it and since you guys are both on the
Same team I know if maybe there was some idea that maybe they might get you there because numbers I mean you’ve got a good case from a from a stats perspective as well I don’t know man it’s not up to me but yeah I don’t know do you have plans
Yet for I was going to say tickets you’d have to cancel no I don’t have any plans for that weekend no I don’t all right are you aware of just how much of a fans that you be you see the 26 nses around Oda when most fans probably didn’t know
Much about you not that long ago n I’m not really aware of it but yeah just appreciate the support to the show um yeah definitely I appreciate it
