‘They Got Good Players Over There!’ Jayson Tatum On Celtics Blowout Loss Against Clippers

‘They Got Good Players Over There!’ Jayson Tatum On Celtics Blowout Loss Against Clippers

Or just at when you’re not shooting the way you expect to I mean what kind of pressure is tough um we feel like we was getting good looks and um you know we just didn’t really shoot the ball well some of our possessions could have been

Better but uh you know it was just a tough night for us and then uh you know unfortunately we kind of let our offensive effect our defense and they got a lot of leak outs and um easy ones in transition uh how would you explain the extreme difference from you know Miami

To tonight and how do you guys go about making sure that it doesn’t linger and you just move on from tonight uh I just have shortterm memory um you know there nothing we can do to change it essentially uh you know take it on the chin we didn’t play well they they

Deserved the win um and get ready for Monday even though most of the game was a struggle in the fourth quarter the the bench unit had 36 points and actually played pretty well um what did you see out of them and how hard is it you think

For them to be able to come in engag when you guys are losing versus most of the time when they’re coming out and you guys are blowing teams out you see a difference in kind of the way they approach those opportunities absolutely give those guys a lot of credit um you

Know they stay ready whenever their opportunity and number is called and uh you know even nights when the game is kind of um you know slipping away from us they still came in and gave maximum effort so uh you know it was really good to see that Jason Joe’s talked a lot about

Attacking switching this year you guys have made progress with that especially after that war War L what were they doing defensively that kind of stalled some of the passing and ways you’ve attacked switching before I mean they got some really good Defenders over there so it’s not as obvious uh on who

To attack but you know I think the answer is just to continue to move uh and and play with pace and you know attack and draw help and kick it open guy they were good at disrupting passing Lanes just kind of throwing show said they really threw off your timing moving

The ball so when the defense is kind kind of has a feel for how you guys are trying to move it how do you try to counter that and get a feel throughout the game of how to time the offense yeah I think we just can’t be predictable uh

You know you have to be decisive right um and try to manipulate you know the defense they have schemes they’re real coached they got good players over there so um you know you got to got to throw counter punches at them um and make adjustments throughout Jason you at that moment uh

You got an ovation from the fans when they sit on the jotron that you were named to the allstar team can you talk about that moment and what that relationship with the garden grab feels like uh that was great very special um you know sure a lot of people in there

Voted for me to help make that happen so uh you know it’s a cool moment that uh kind of show my appreciation that I was really grateful for that moment and you know thankful for the fans uh you mentioned the difference between the Heat game and and this game

Tonight porzingis was a huge part of the offense and the Heat game how do you you guys adjust to not having him on the floor as sort of that release valve and it felt like the ball was stopping a bit more tonight how do you you know change

When he’s out yeah uh you know obviously we play a little different when he’s not out there uh but you know we still have answers and you know we feel like we have enough to win uh and you know we still have to have a certain identity on

How we want to play um and how we want to attack uh but tonight you know we we just didn’t shoot the ball nearly as well as we would like to
