Jrue Holiday Reacts to Making Team USA Olympics Roster | Celtics Pregame Interview

Uh what are the unique challenges that Dallas presents with between Luca and Kyrie um two great players that um have the IND individual skill to take over a game obviously every game you know having that unique type of Firepower definitely um brings on challenges but I think it’s just about

Team defense uh obviously them being the scorers and The Playmakers that they are them seeing multiple bodies uh multiple actions multiple defenses is hopefully will make it difficult on them do you get more excited for games like this um you know you try not to you try to you

Try to be equally equally as excited for every game but um I mean obviously there are games where you you get up for and these are top players in our league um they’ve done a lot of things and and just really good players so yeah you get

Excited for it Al mentioned last week that this team isn’t where it needs to be yet you know what a championship team looks like what needs to tighten up in your um I think there’s times where we have lows in the game where uh I don’t

Know if it’s whatever it is if it’s the beginning of the coming out in the beginning of the half where um we’re not playing as well as we can I think times like that we really need to lock in because I think even from my season last year and Boston season last year

Um really just being able to uh take advantage of those moments and those times so being able to lock in being consistent and knowing that even when we have lows we can we can fight through those together you guys seen progress this Allstar break since coming back I

Think so um I feel like Allstar break was good for us we we got a good uh mental break to kind of get away and then come back and lock in for the second half you’re right days um you know it’s kind of weird I think

Sometimes when you get back into it you just feel like you’re going to get back into it and it’s going to be like um game day off game day off or back Tob backs but um it seems like these these two days off or whatever obviously is

Good for the body and the mind but sometimes you just want to kind of get through the games what is the mindset like just in the midst of this kind of win streak when you guys are stacking wins one after another uh not to get bored you know uh obviously winning is

Great but we don’t we we don’t want to get bored with winning uh I think being able to um kind of give oursel challenges and things marks in the game where that we want to get to if it’s defensively 25 points a quarter or uh offensively running things that we

Worked on in and uh and shoot around the that day um those are things that we can really lock into there’s report out there that you could potentially be part of Team USA this summer what would that mean to you and you know what are those kind of conversations that Mike about

That um it’s always an honor to represent your country um obviously I do it for my country but I do it for my family I think everybody here knows my wife so she uh she’s the rock star in our in our household but um you know I

Think to be able to represent my country and my family is something that I’ve always been proud of and you’ve gotten kind of acate to the team here you know some of the things they do chemistry wise have you been able to take part in you know some of the like pregame trivia

Stuff and you know some things like that that they do you know behind the scenes before games yeah I’ve been able to take part what’s that kind of like like it’s fun you know um it either shows how old you are or really just sometimes it does sometimes it does um especially when

They show like pictures of Skype and none of the young kids know what Skype is so um I I I think to be able to kind of go through stuff like that before the game and kind of light in the air um be able to do that as well as uh mentally

Prepar is pretty cool you remember stops the other night was talking to us about how he feels like he came to this team at the exact right time for him and his mat and just where he is in his career what have you seen from him in that and

How different is he from what you remember of him and his pre I would say he looks at peace you know I feel like the way that he plays is is is graceful he plays happy um he comes in every day happy and that’s something that you like to see from from

One of your top three players so I think to be able to see him at this level and do the things that he does in the court and do with a smile on his face is always is always how much do you feel like this team has matured in just the

Way you guys go about winning coming up this last one where it was more of an inside game than outside um I definitely think that we have a lot of different ways of winning um tough games dark fights and then being able to have those big blowout wins um but again I don’t

Think we take any win uh for granted uh Joe tells us every day that uh winning is hard and and we appreciate the win so no matter what we’re we’re always going to love the win thanks
