LIVE: Pelicans vs. Bucks Pregame w/ HC Willie Green 1/27/2024

Uh game time decision again he’ll he’ll go out warm up and uh he’ll let us know how he feels we’ll go from there anything in particular you’re looking forward to and watching this CJ Dame rematch they’ve met before as competitors but this is the first time for Dame as a

Bu you know the biggest thing is that we we all respect what both of those guys have have done in their careers and they’ve been teammates for a long time I’m sure they’ll get on the floor and they’re going to compete like they don’t know each other um that’s what respect

About them and I think that’s the beauty in the game that a little bit I know a quick turn here but what were you able to see about Damian off the ball more obviously when you had Game Plan before he was yeah you know that was the F

Point so what I guess a little bit have you seen from his game or the way the Bucks use him off ball yeah it’s uh just watching him and you can definitely tell that this is an adjustment for him uh he’s accustomed to having the ball in his hands and and

Being able to pick his spots and now you know playing off the ball obviously it’s a it’s a weapon for Milwaukee uh but it’s an adjustment for him and he’s he’s doing fine I mean he he’s one of those guys that can adjust quickly he can

Score with the ball in his hands um without the ball he’s moving a bit more um to get his shots and so those will be things that we we’re looking at tonight what kind of what difference of a threat a different threat is it if he is off

The ball you know obviously Yiannis we kind of know when transitioner you know Chris isn’t playing tonight but when he is sort of off to that side what kind of challenge is that in a game plan especially with jannis yeah I think that’s the biggest thing is that the

Gravity that Giannis has attacking the basket and attacking the paint if you’re guarding Lillard and he’s attacking coming towards you you got to make a choice am am I stopping Giannis or am I giving up a three-point shot to one of the best three-point Shooters in the

League and I think watch in this team that’s where um he he is that’s where they’re they’re you know he’s a weapon for this team they they he can shoot the ball he can close games out and then he can get off of it give it to Giannis and

Giannis is attacking and get to the paint yes I did I’m sure you’ve done it a couple times think about obious you know it’s uh it’s just a part of being in the NBA really it’s it’s uh it comes full circle you know I’ve had teammates that I

Played for um that coach me and then we coached together and I coached against them and you know same with Doc you know I had an opportunity to coach to to to be under him as a player he was he was the head coach when I was with the

Clippers great coach uh hot you know fun to be a part of and um every time we have an opportunity to see each other and talk shop we do but it’s it it’s once you get out on the floor it’s a competitive game we’re trying to beat

Them they’re trying to beat us and after you know we we continue to be friends after that so aachc for sure for sure um doc was always big pitcher um when I was with him he was always trying to get his teams to be the best that they could to maximize the

Opportunity that they had in front of them um really good understanding for being a players coach uh great balance and when the practice when not to when was it time to go hard when was it time to lay off a little bit and um it was it it was enjoyable having an opportunity

To learn from him for sure right thanks okay thank you
