Aaron Gordon Post Game Locker Room Interview vs. Kings 🎙

Um let’s just start with the run that they went on to end the game what went wrong for for you guys there just too many breakdowns you know we were doing things that we didn’t go over um in the defensive game planning uh you know we

Were kind of just like making things up out there on defense and uh it’s a recipe for a disaster a recipe for a loss coach was talking about the weight that you guys have had to carry and learning it for the first time of being the defending champs how would you

Describe the impact mentally physically emotionally of having that Target on your back all season long to this point yeah it’s it’s a little different you know everybody is like is is hyped everyone’s geeked you know it gives you that a little extra peper Next Step um but we like it we like it

Um I think uh as these last 27 games uh come to a close you know you’re going to start to see us you know pick up our level of play and get back to um Championship caliber a really big double double for you tonight new season high in rebounds what was your mentality

Coming into this game particular particularly being down two starters uh just go you know just just go you know go after it go get it um try and help my team win um that was really it when you’re on the grind of Defending Your title how impactful can a week off be

Physically and mentally for you guys huge we need it big fella needs it big fella goes hard every day um M needs it everybody needs it man so um we played a lot of games so um this like 6 days seven days will be a really really nice

Stretch for us with the short off season and then obviously your schedule there’s a lot of backto backs in the early parts of the Season what has been the most difficult thing for you guys at this juncture of the Season yeah that’s it that’s it you know just the the fatigue

The fatigue of the rollover from last season to this season um but I think we’ll get our legs back under us after these six days would you say when you go into the break on a three- game losing streak like that sort of the general mood of the team there are concerning

Things that need to be fixed or do you guys sort of have a sense of feeling like you can have it under control I don’t think so man I really don’t think so I think everybody needs a break everybody needs some rest I think that’s

What it comes down to you know like when you’re fatigued not only is your body tired but your mind is tired too you know your your ability to focus is just not as as like laser sharp you know what I mean so uh I think after these six

Days like I said I think you’ll see a different ball what do you think about Joker kind of being the only rep that you guys have at at allar great rep great great representation of uh nuggets of the organization um I mean he deserves all the accolades that come to him uh like

He works so damn hard um and he’s just a great guy on and off the court so uh you can’t really have a better rep you know more so that you guys defending champs don’t have anybody else represent yeah I don’t I don’t know why why that is I’m

Not entirely sure um it’s a mystery to me I didn’t it doesn’t make any sense like I saw it from the outside and what’s crazy is when I was on the outside looking in at Denver I was like I don’t I don’t know it doesn’t Denver only has one onar so you know

What I mean but now I’m on the inside and not looking out it’s like yo you got M you got Mike you got myself you got kcp like I don’t know makes no sense to me Molly Molly definitely should have been a allar this year

Um I don’t I’m not sure what does it say about the culture of this team that that isn’t something that gets you guys all riled up or would break kind of the culture that you guys establish uh it’s just peanuts to an elephant peanuts to an elephant that’s that’s really what it

Is um doesn’t matter elephants don’t eat peanuts how are you spending your break uh I’m going to go to Aspen yeah championship you trying to get me jammed up I’ll answer for you thank you no thank you
