“We Came Out And Handled It.” | Anthony Edwards Postgame Sound | 4.3.24

And you said last night that you thought your shot was coming like feel good to just kind of get out there and see hell yeah hell yeah anything that you did differently just to kind of lock in or is it just no um it felt the same as

Yesterday um yesterday I had a couple ins and outs so I knew today was going to be the day that it was going to fall this is a team that was really short-handed obviously um when you look at you lost them the start of the Season

How and how far you’ve come as a team what just what are your thoughts right now at just the progress this group has made from day one to where you’re at right now I mean they got a whole different team so you can’t we can’t really grade from the beginning of the

Year to this to now but um I think we came out and handled handled it um especially myself um you know usually these games I come out and don’t have no energy and look like I don’t want to be here and um f you be getting on my ass

About that the last couple games and so um I tried to come out would approach that I would take is if we was playing uh a team that was super good so I think um it was a great way of you know handling business tonight kind of

Mentioned a moment earlier in the season that you like being coached hard like in a situation like that what where does that come from you don’t mind being coached hard I mean growing up I used to play for my cousin um his name was tummy coach tummy um if I would do anything

Bad in school like I would know that he’s going to get on my ass and majority of the time he would like grab my helmet and like shake my helmet I growing up in little football league coach Jermaine coach JP coach Tim so like I’ve been

Getting coach my entire life so um yeah FY is nothing you know yeah so a I saw you talking to Monty Morris on the bench today and kept really connecting with him he had a great game what are you seeing from him as he comes along he can

Really shoot the ball um and we need that um you know especially him and JM they shoot the ball really well um so I just tell him you know trust it if you open Let it Fly and don’t think about it and um you know I was just telling him

About like the defensive the switching uh back screens coming out the paint and little things like that so you know and how nice is that for a game like tonight getting players into the game who don’t usually get in there you’re supporting everybody how important is that longterm

For this team I mean super important cuz those guys support us 82 games out a year and then the playoffs come and they they standing up and pointing and celebrating so I mean you got to return a favor if you get the chance for sure and with uh where have you guys grown

This season the most that’s going to matter in the playoffs um that’s a great question um uh that’s a good question um I probably would say I think trust in Rudy I think that’s the main thing like all however many players on the team that plays me nil

Mike slow-mo Jay Nas cat we all trust Rudy like together like we trust to hit him in the pocket we trust to when we call the post up we trust he going to catch it and do his thing catch it in Pocket make the one more um trust him at

The free throw line you know just little things like that and um it goes along long way and he’s been playing his ass off so I think as far as everybody where we grown at is just trusting Rudy throughout the whole game and where have you seen Rudy earn that trust

Offensively just cuz it seems like he’s played so much better um I mean he he he comes up to you and let you know like trust me like uh hit me in the pocket trust me I got you and I told him one game like bro I’m not going to hit you

In the pocket right now and then he was like sack trust me I got you and I hit him and he made a kick out and we came together and we was like yeah and then one time the Denver game couple games ago um I come off the screen and he’s

Open and I’m like what bro I come off the screen and he’s open and um I’m like I make a move on somebody and then throw the oop and like we we talking to each other and I’m like bro I got you bro trust me you know what I mean so you

Know it’s there he’s like my brother man we talk all the time he takes me we takes all the time and I think everybody pretty much got 100% trust him now at this point and he makes the right play every time and did you see Jaden block

His brother’s shot yeah hell yeah cuz it was on me um I I blew I L switch and Jaden had my back and blocked it for sure and they they tried to call a foul but they got it right there were times in the past T where if you didn’t shoot

Well this team was not going to win what was it like these last five games man it was beautiful man uh I think I was at home talking to my my boys about it like man I’m not playing well I’m not playing my best as far as shooting the ball but

And my teammate still got my back they we still winning the game without me and um yeah that’s that’s a great feeling you seem to take it pretty hard when fans didn’t get free Chick-fil-a that per Yeah man cuz I wanted some I mean you yeah I go get some food Chick-fil-A

Who don’t want free Chick-fil-A I remember I couldn’t afford Chick-fil-A so I can’t wait to get some free food
