Khris Middleton Postgame Press Conference | 3.17.24

Uh let’s start off with the question you know it’s coming how did it feel good um just for you getting back out there um getting a chance to work with that second unit a little bit find Bobby just what did you see from him I think

He scored 25 points in like 10 minutes to start the game yeah he was hot um got a rhythm H some tough ones um but got to his spot so you know when I was out there with the second group and he was out there just played through him you

Know he’s like I said he was H he’s attracting the crowd so play through him let him make the decision once he gets to his spot to see if somebody’s coming or not um then he makes the play and we all react after that but if he’s not

Keep feeding him he’s a guy once he gets hot keep let him keep going um you know he did a great job of just carrying us G giving us a spark um you know in that first half um with Dame at 30 points 15 assists first time in Bucs history

Someone’s done that in a single game just what do you see from him mixing the the passing with the scoring he was just I think picking him apart really um mostly just seeing the crowd that he was attracting and just getting it off early um and you know he trust the guys out

There to make the plays and you know hit the shots for him but I think he did a great job of picking and choose you know when to you know attack that big off the double team and then also just knowing when to get off of it um and not forcing

Things too much hey Chris welcome back great game uh so doc he was saying earlier that I mean your IQ is just so high you’re calling plays that he was going to call and he’s like it’s a luxury to to have a player like that what does something like that mean to

You to hear from your head coach it’s cool you know it’s good I you know pay attention to a lot of what the coaches say what they like and what they want us to run so you know I try to be a coach on the floor at times with you know

Pinning guys in certain spots and running certain things just to get a different flow or try to take control of the game um you know I think that’s something that you know I bring to the table with this team so it’s cool to hear him say that you know gives me

Confidence to keep you know trusting what I’m what I’m seeing out there and then obviously you got a big Road game against Boston coming up in a few days what from today are you hoping carries over into that matchup uh you know just the tone the pace that we played at um

You know attacking gaps attacking you know different Closeouts pining two on the ball getting dained to have two on the ball myself that two on the ball and just playing through that I think that’s what makes us a dangerous team we have so many four or five guys that can

Attract double teams um you know once you do that it’s four and five on the other side so we just have to try to take advantage of it back here Chris after such a long time off it would have been understandable to kind of be out of rhythm but it seemed

Like at least looking at it that you were kind of in Rhythm did it feel like that early on in in terms of getting back out there and playing your first game in in over a month it did it did um you know it’s weird I’ve been doing this

A long time where I know how to slow myself down and not you know try to go too fast or play too I shouldn’t say play too hard but you know speed myself up I know how how to come in play out my pace and you know change my Pace when

When it need be so a lot of the work that I was doing in rehab was just trying to make sure my wind was there my conditioning was was as good as it can be um and you know I thought it was for all of the physical work that

Goes into getting back onto the court how’s that uh like mental and emotional toll carry with you as you kind of get back into the flow of things it’s not uh you know getting back is the fun part you know rehab and you know doing all

The extra hours that’s the part that you know gets tedious boring um exhausting at times um so you’re you’re happy to get out of the rehab phase because you know all the hard work that you p in now you get to actually have fun with it um

So yeah um just with your ankle um I think you take almost the exact same pullup on KD again with with a tight close out you have a a play where you end up falling down just how did all of that feel like all of the the bounces on

It and all that felt great you know I’m not nervous about guys coming up under me I know you know KD it wasn’t intentional you know it happens um you know sometimes we have to be cautious of our Landing spots but just got to play got to play you’re going to fall down

You’re going to get hit you’re going to get helpo from time to time you just got to accept it and then move on from it just keep playing through it
