‘I’ve Always Been A Fan Of Him!’ Cade Cunningham Shows Respect to Paul George After Clippers-Pistons

‘I’ve Always Been A Fan Of Him!’ Cade Cunningham Shows Respect to Paul George After Clippers-Pistons

You had them on their heels after much of this game what what do you think the difference was down the stretch um we we fouled a lot that was tough on us uh giving them points with the clock stop um I think you know we could have just been better executing down the

Strats uh could have got got us more organized um missed some good looks but you know just our organ ganization and fouling on the other end was tough on us how much respect do you think you guys are getting now with the brand of basketball you’ve shown here up

Late U maybe a little bit but I think we got a lot more to show to really gain some respect in the league um you know I mean it’s a long season we have you know NBA players like we’re going to play good games we’re going to um you know

Compete it’s just about you know stacking days together and bringing out on a more consistent basis so once we do that we’ll start getting the respect we got to see three of your new teammates uh M shake and Troy Simone without having to practice yesterday how impressed were you with the

Contributions they made yeah I was super impressed um like you said no practice and just the way they were you know able to use their their field for the game to you know be in right spots um and just be themselves I think it was huge for us

And it going to be huge additions for us Kate I know you’re the big best about junkie but you don’t get to you’re playing while Simone and Troy and those guys when you hear about them coming here do you go and watch like film about these guys just to see with Tendencies

And things like that or how familiar I guess were you with like Simone I know he was just in Detroit not long yeah yeah I definitely um I try to watch like where they score from with their previous teams that way they can get similar looks with us and transition can

Be a little more seamless um but I mean we got to talk about it in warm-ups today so it wasn’t a lot of time to like walk through things that we do or whatever so um we kept it real basic today for everybody and we just kind of

Played around that but you know as time goes on we’ll definitely get them in their spots more and more and for you the floor game today popped throughout the whole the whole the assist showed but you also had like with the K hockey assist you were getting blitzed a lot in

That situation do you have to be not necessarily patient but just be okay with making the right play and and and feeling good about whatever the outcome is as long as it’s the right play even though there is frustration and you’re getting trapped I’m sure you want to be

Able to do a little bit more too with that I think the frustration only comes if I’m not getting us anything out of it um you know getting in Blitz that can always work as offense for you uh you know we can get everybody to touch the

Ball early on had a ball pop around sometimes it’s good for your offense to you know start with that and then we can score some points out of it but um you know my job is just to to make sure that we’re getting shots and um we’re

Organized and you know I just be myself so um I thought I was solid today uh but just got to stay consistent okay uh from the beginning of the Season until now uh just how do you feel you’ve improved as far as not only getting youed our teams are uh playing

You but just also being able to keep the ball moving in those situations and punish oppos how do I feel like I’ve grown you say um I mean just with seeing like you said seeing so many different things um knowing how to utilize my teammates with the different coverages that I’m I’m

Seeing um I think all of those things have have I’ve gotten better at um I think I’ve been better about taking care of the ball I still I mean a couple games ago I had a rough night with it but uh I’m trying to take care of the ball while still maintaining my

Aggression um I don’t want it to to make me timid at all I still got to play the game so I think you know when we were winning and I was out turnovers a very low um and so that’s as a team we’re trying to keep that consistent and we’ve

Been playing better since that’s Happ what was the difficulty in kind of slowing Paul George I mean he’s a great player um he’s a great player he he it wasn’t his night in Detroit it was ka’s night so you know he’s going to come at us um he’s got all the tools so

You know he just got throw the book at them and try to be as solid as possible um but when you’re guarding a guy like that I mean you’re locked in cuz they could do something to you so U I love challenges like that I’ve always been a

Big fan of his game so you know it’s fun to be out there and compete against
