Jacque Vaughn sums up loss to Thunder

SHOOTING. THUNDER SHOT 55%. THE NETS WERE AROUND 26%. BROOKLYN MISSED 11 FREE THROWS SHOOTING 38% FROM THE FIELD. IT IS TIME TO HEAR FROM THE HEAD COACH STARTED BY TALKING ABOUT BROOKLYN’S FIRST QUARTER. >> YES, GREAT THAT’S WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE FROM THAT FIRST UNIT TO SET TONE.

I THOUGHT WE WERE GOOD ON THE FLOOR. REALLY SHARED THE BASKETBALL. AND THE ONLY THING WE FOUGHT EACH OTHER WAS THE TRANSITION AND KNOWING COMING IN THE GAME THEIR ELITE GETTING TRANSITION. A COUPLE OF THE TIME OUTS HAD TO BURN TO ADDRESS THAT OVER ALL,

WE YOU LOOK AT THE STAT SXHEET DID GOOD THINGS TONIGHT. BALL DID NOT GO IN FRONT. 20. CORN ARE THROW’S. MISSED FREE THROWS. YOU KNOW THE SHOOT 43’S. PRETTY GOOD AND SHARED THE BASKETBALL AND DID NOT TURN IT OVER AM HOW MANY MORE SHOTS WE HAD.

>> GOOD RECIPE FOR US. YEA. WE HAD COVERAGES TONIGHT A TEAM LIKE THIS CAN’T GIFT SAME LOOK. GIVE THEM CREDIT AND JOSH MADE 4-3’S STARTED OUT SLOW AND MADE SHOTS AND WILLIAMS HAD A STRETCH THAN I OPEN TODAY UP AND WE KEPT FIGHTING I THOUGHT THAT CHANGING COVERAGES WAS GOOD.

WE WERE LOCKED IN COVERING FOR EACH OTHER AND — GAVE A GOOD EFFORT. >> THE DEFENSE HAS BEEN ON GOING ISSUE? BUT WE WHEN YOU LOOK AT 12 AND 46OIR WHATEVER. >> YEA. >> I FEEL LIKE MIGHT HAVE MISSED 3 CORNER THREES ONE POINT DO YOU

LOOK AT THIS MAKE OR MISS OR A LARGE ARE PROBLEM WITH THE OFFENSE. >> I LOOK AT THE PROCESS OF IT, BRIAN, I THOUGHT THAT OUR ABILITY TO DRIVE AND KICK AND OUR SHOTS WERE OPENED. WE SPRAYD THAT AROUND AND WE WERE REALLY UNSELFISH GETTING

EACH OTHER GOOD SHOTS IF YOU GET 23’S IN CORN ARE 3’S IN A GAME AND OUR HIGH THREES ROYCE AND ABILITY TO SHOOT THE BASKETBALL I BELIEVE IN THAT WE HAD GOOD LOOKS TONIGHT. SO NICE THE BALL DID NOT GO IN. WE’LL LOOK AT THE PROCESS.

IT AND FOR ME WE SHARED THE BASKETBALL TONIGHT. WHAT DU DO TO WHICH KEEP YOUR TURN OVERS MALL? THEY TURNED THE OVER GOOD YOOCHL STRESSED WITH THE GROUP AND REALLY KEEPING IT SOUND THEY ARE GOOD IF YOU COMPLICATE PLAYS THEY WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE. OUR SPACING HAD TO BE PREMIUM.

TALKED ABOUT THAT GET IN WINDOWS AND REALLY BEING THERE FOR YOUR TEAMMATE. MULTIPLE EFFORTS ON THE OFFENSIVE END OF THE FLOOR. WE KEPT IT CHIMP THEY GOT TO GOOD SPACING HARD NOT TO TURN IT OVER >> HAD MAKE ITS GOOD. >> THEY GOT GUYS THAT GOT

GREAT KNACK AT THE BASKETBALL LIKE A QUARTER PACK IN FOOTBALL AND A LINE BACK WHORE CAN BLAST THROUGH SCREENS AND REBOUND AND WHO WE GET BY HE REACHES FROM BEHIND. A KNACK THAT THE GUYS HAVE OF BEING IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND

TAKING ADVANTAGE WHEN YOU DON’T SECURE THE BALL. >> IS THERE ANYTHING FROM THUNDER ON THEIR DEFENSIVE SIDE OF THINGS THAT SLOWED THINGS DOWN YOU SAW A GREAT FIRST QUARTER START AND SHOTS ANYTHING THEY DID. >> I DON’T THINK SO OVER ALL THE BALL JUST FOUND DIFFERENT ENERGY.

THERE WAS NOT A TIME WE WERE STAGNANT I THINK OUR 3 IN THE OFFENSE WAS GOOD THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. AND REALLY THAT’S HOW WE WANT TO BE AS A TEAM VERT TILE THE BALL TOUCHES HANDS AND TRUST THAT AND THAT DUDE SHOOT ITS.

IT WAS GOOD TO GET OFF TO A GOOD START FOR SURE. >> DEFENSIVELY. THAT SECOND QUARTER YOU KNOW STRUGGLING TO SHOOT THE THUNDER FOUND LOOKS AT THE RIM AND SHOTS WHETHER OFFENSIVELY OR THINGS YOU GUYS HAD TROUBLE EXECUTING? JOY THINK THAT BOILED DOWN TO THE TRANSITION DEFENSE AND THERE

WAS A FEW POSSESSIONS AND STRETCHES WHERE WE MISSED SHOTS WITH LONG REBOUND OR NOT NOW THE EXTRA ENERGY TO SPRINT AND LOAD TO THE BASKETBALL THEY WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE IF YOU DON’T BUILD A WALL. MULTIPLE GUYS DO THAT DURING THAT STRETCH TRANSITION WAS THE CULPRIT OF THAT.

>> BUT YOU NOTICED PLAYING THE GAME WAS THIS A MESSAGE OR DOES IT MATTER. JUST WHAT WAS? >> WE DON’T GET PRACTICE TIME OR SHOOT AROUND TIME AND DON’T HAVE A LOT OF DAYS WE PLAY TOGETHER. TAKING ADVANTAGE OF GETTING REP IN A GAME.

LIVE SITUATION AND LOCKED IN TO THE DEFENSES WE WERE CHANGING DEFENSES TO THE END OF THE GAME. AND SO FOR US. THE REPS MATTER. ESPECIALLY THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. >> WHAT DID YOU LIKE IN HIS PLAY FOR A NIGHT TO GET 16 REBOUNDS.

>> GOES FROM VERSATILITY OF GUARDING JOSH TO CHET AND THE ABILITY FOR HEM TO PROTECT THE RIM. I THINK YOU SEE HOW SKILLED HE IS A POSSESSION HE GETS A REBOUNDS AND GUESS BY TO GET TO THE RIM. GAINING CONFIDENCE THAT WAY.

NOW WILL BUILD ENDOURNS WITH HIM HE CAN PLAY 30 PLUS MINUTES OVER AND OVER AGAIN. >> A COUPLE GUYS THE LAST FEW DAYS WHEN YOU ARE SWITCHING DEFENSE. YEA. >> WHAT HAVE YOU, THERE HAS TO BE A TRUST FACTOR TO KNOW THE GUY BEHIND YOU WILL ROTATE.

HAVE YOU SEEN THAT LACKING OVER THE LAST WHOEVER, CO2-3 WEEK? >> HAVE YOU TAKEN A STEP BACK EARLIER. >> NO , I THINK IT GUESS THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I LOVE CHALLENGING THIS GROUP THAT’S HOW WE WILL GET BETTER. PUT MORE ON THEIR PLAY AND HANDLE IT.

WE SCREWED UP A ROTATION IN THE FIRST QUARTER WHEN SHEA POSTED ON THE BLOCK AND GOT 2 RIGHT IN THE FOURTH. TO ME THAT’S WHAT TH IS ABOUT. WE’LL PUT OURSELVES IN POSITION WE HAVE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PLAYING HARD AND A LOT OF TIMES

THAT IS GENERATED BY ACCYST. DEFLECTIONS WHEN WE WERE IN OUR BASE 1-5 DEFENSE YOU WILL NOT GET THAT THE DROP COVERAGE COME IN AND ABLE TO NULL COME IN FOR A TEAM THAT IS A COMBINATION OF REALLY GIVING YOURSELF ACCYST LOVELY THAT END OF THE FLOOR AND

SOMETIMES I HAVE TO I DON’T KNOW. PUSH THAT AGENDA BY CHANGING THE DEFENSE. WE ARE PICK UP FULL COURT YOU GOTTA COVER FOR EACH OTHER. THE GUYS ARE WRAPPING THE CONSTEP LOOKS DIFFERENT. THERE IS DIFFERENT PLAYS AND SET UPS. WE ARE STARTING TO KNOW THE

CONCEPTS LIKE ON OFFENSIVE END OF THE FLOOR. >> THE PREGAME BUT WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE OUT OF THE NEW YEAR. BACK-TO-BACK COMING UP. WHO DO YOU WANT TO SEE? >> I TELL THE GROUP IT FELT GOOD THE WAY WE PLAYED ON THE

OFFENSIVE END THE WAY WE SHARED THE BASKETBALL AND THE LOOKS. WE ENDED 23 THIS WAY CAN WE START 24 THAT WAY AND THE FIGHT WE HAD TONIGHT. I THOUGHT WE DID NOT GIVE IN. STRETCHES THEY MADE RUNS COMPOSED AND WATCHED VIDEO OF THE FLOOR.

AND FOUND SOLUTIONS THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. CONTINUE OUR FIGHT IN 24. >>
