Jayson Tatum REACTS to Celtics Win vs Wizards | Postgame Interview

Jayson Tatum REACTS to Celtics Win vs Wizards | Postgame Interview

Jason what did Joe say to you guys at halftime that we uh we let them feel comfortable um and you know it was tougher than uh maybe we thought it would be but um he kind of encourages nights like this right where it’s supposed to be easy um you know no

Night in the NBA is necessarily easy um but you know we talked about the points we gave off on the inch outs and um transition really killed us you know they had 71 points in the first half so uh you know that we obviously needed to pick up the intensity on the defensive

End in the second half uh you know we had to have like some Spider-Man instincts just be all over the place on defense uh you know that was a little extreme but uh you know he he wasn’t uplifting right you know so it’s a long game but you know I think that third

Quarter really kind of sparked the the Run how can you guys play such a dominant third quarter and just kind of flip the switch like that like it seemed like you you won the game in the third quarter I mean and then the fourth they scored 42 how do you account for that

Kind of slippage in the fourth uh you know I mean I think it just starts the beginning of the game where you know we didn’t we weren’t connected as we should have been on defensive end and uh you know those guys were in the Rhythm and

You know uh we gave him some easy looks and then you know some of the toughest shots you know you feel better about yourself so uh you know we kind of play well enough in the third quarter to kind of you know hold them to 16

Points in the third but uh you know obviously they got loose again in the fourth but you know we we found a way to win Jason there’s obviously going to be you know more games like this down the stretch against these teams like you said the outside world expects you to

Beat by a lot or beat easily you guys are pretty comfortably in first place in the east uh how do you kind of keep your internal motivation down the stretch in these games and kind of find meaning in them and making sure they matter um over

These next couple of months uh I mean you know I think tonight was good right uh continue to find ways to win and um you know maybe we don’t shoot the ball as well we want to in the first half or things aren’t going our way and you know

It feels a lot worse than it is and we look up we only down two in the third quarter uh so uh you know Joe told us in in one of the timeouts in the third like you know somebody tell a joke or somebody laugh or smile right there put

So much pressure on ourselves that uh you know we got to get back to remember to have fun in those moments that uh it’s not always going to go the way that you know everybody thinks it’s supposed to but it’s never as bad as it seems and

Uh you know you that was kind of the story tonight uh when Joe was up here he said that you guys are like 20 Spider-Mans and you just talked about Spider-Man did Joe talk about Spider-Man in the Huddle uh no not he didn’t talk about in the Huddle but he do love

Spiderman just to follow up on that though he said he was the one who told some jokes in the Huddle and that they were pretty good is that accurate no I told one joke and he told a joke uh his wasn’t that funny but you know it was just a lighten

Up the moment and then talking to christof’s postgame how does he change things for you all in in these games where I mean teams last season could go small on you guys how does he impact that uh it just you know we just present so many questions of you know how are

You going to guard us you want to go small you want to switch you know we just going to punish the switch right we we find the match that we want we throw it down to the big fella and uh you know obviously give him the right SPAC in and

Uh but a lot of times just you know let him go to work you know you’re going to get fouled or you’re going to shoot over the top uh and you know you can’t get bored with that you know it’s the right play you know we got to do that five six

Times in a row uh find a switch and just give him the ball and move out the way and that’s what we got to do last question Jason you said that it’s not obviously winning the NBA is not easy but are there nights you want to make

Things a little easier on your yourself was tonight a night that you might had to exert a little not too much energy but just to kind of e it out up 12 with two minutes left or whatever and they come back and make it a two possession

Game is it do you kind of have to save that for for for down the road uh I think you know that might be like something you have to get away from like all right we playing a team that only has nine wins you know it’s going to be an easy night

We’re going to blow him out um feel like those are the nights when you’re going with that mindset you know you to lose a game or you know make it tougher than you’re supposed to um and fact of the matter is like yeah they might not be

The best team but they got guys that can play you know any given night they can get hot they get shots um and they can make it a ball game and that’s what happened tonight and uh you know we did a lot of good things out there and you

Know we have to figure it out uh you know a win is a win so we’ll take it
