“Tonight Was a Good Game.” | Mike Conley Postgame Sound | 03.05.24

That coach was saying that before the game that you really wanted to play tonight to just kind of try and get some Rhythm back in your game do you feel like you were able to do some of that yeah um yeah I think uh tonight was a

Good game uh for me to just be aggressive and um he made that statement before the before the the game that he wanted me to to be more aggressive not necessarily scoring but just taking the ball more and being more involved and thought the last last couple games I’ve

Been passive and letting other guys do stuff so um you know it was good for me to just get out there and do what I do you do put a lot on your shoulders in terms of just getting the ball moving and getting everyone going how do you

Try to be aggressive within that and and still quarterback the way you want to uh it’s tough honestly it is tough cuz um you know the things that we struggle with offensively sometimes is our ball movement and and you know um creating that you know we we have a few guys who

Who are pretty good at it and I’m one of them that can create the the ball movement great side to side movement and and sometimes that means you’re kind of getting left out of the the mix of the shots and um opportunities like that so

Um you kind of try to balance it you just got to be patient sometimes and uh you know that the ball will find you eventually and just be ready to to be aggressive when that time comes the starters mimic the ball M of the second

Unit um you know it it I think it comes a lot from uh the energy they put into it Nas Kyle n uh you see how fast they move how much they cut um they screen they they get off of each other really quickly and uh create space um I think

We can with our first unit we can be a little bit slower cuz we have guys who can post we have guys who can play in inside and out so there’s a lot of different um you know opportunities there so it might make us a little bit

Slower as a group um but that group has to we have to figure out how to how to get that that starting unit to play with a little bit more force a little bit more Pace uh it’ll things up I think for and everybody else to you know make easier

Plays like he such a high floor yeah he was Rudy was super locked in today um when we were slipping he was a guy that brought us together he was a guy that made the stops when we needed got the big buckets when we needed uh super efficient super dominant um and

That’s what we that’s what we need out of them we need we need them cleaning up the glass when when guards go in there and Miss shots and um they’re trying to send two and three guys at him and he’s still able to to to fight through and

Make plays that’s who he is and um you know I that tonight was a a great performance for him coach said after the game this was one you guys had to have how important was it to make sure you entered the home Stand 4 and three and

You know get that positive feeling back for you H in the RO uh super important you know um regardless of how um the first three and a half quarters win or however the game went we we got the dub and uh we’re going on the road you know

For a huge road trip at this time of the year we got a lot of good teams we’re going to be facing and um um and just having some kind of positive atmosphere going into Indie and Cleveland and then to the West Coast is going to be huge Kyle Anderson feels like he’s

Really fitting into this really well maybe over the last month after struggling a little bit like before the deadline what have you seen kind of shift in his game over the last month or so uh I think just his his role has been even more defined I think he understands

Um that he needs to be a playmaker for us at all costs he’s a guy that we can we trust with the ball um a guy who trust making you know the right decisions whether it’s to score the ball or post up or find guys or get

Guys in the right spots um and defensively he’s a guy that can switch on to different guys guard guys that you know give Jaden a break give Ann a Break um and he’s been doing all those things so far and I think he’s he’s just confident in that role and uh more of

That from him will’ll do as good can a team adapt when usually maybe the guys that are leaning on heavily just don’t seem to have um you know us our team is built to have depth for a reason um we have guys when aunt and Cat don’t have big kns

Have a lot of guys who who’ve done that before who played that role and and can have night where they go for 20 or 25 and and carry carry the weight for for that particular you know afternoon or evening or whatever um so we just have

To be you know confident in each other and trust each other you know a comes to me and says you know I ain’t got it man I just just had a baby I’m tired or whatever it is man like whatever the issue like all right I got you or vice

Versa or cat or you know whoever it is so we just got to continue to to communicate that to each other and um and be okay with other guys having big nights whatever it is or that exactly no I can’t disclose that for you

Get the he just had a baby so or his his his wife did a girlfriend so you know who knows probably he probably didn’t sleep
