Doc Rivers talks SHOCKING LOSS vs Grizzlies, Postgame Interview 🎤

Uh hey D just what do you see on that final play you know I think he just got caught in traffic uh they were going to be aggressive because they they KN they could fou so I just thought he did a good job got his hands on the ball was a

Lot of traffic there it should have just been Brook uh it looked like we had two guys up and that created traffic so but listen that would I mean that was the least of our problems uh before the game you had mentioned how this can be a bit

Of a trap game what do you think of the GU effort tonight I thought we were bad until we needed to be you know what I mean like we started out the game um I think um we gifted like five threes in a row where we were standing there we just

You know deare shots um everybody in this league can play you got to respect everybody um the one kid made three in a row you know um and we did we didn’t even adjust so that’s something um you know these losses obviously you don’t want to lose games like this ever

Um does that change the way I think about the team and where I think we no it doesn’t at all um I got a lot of confidence in this group uh but we gonna have to make changes as far as how we want to play every night um and we we

Ease into the game that’s everybody we need our the guys that can play defense to be better defensively uh and we need the guys who are learning to play defense uh to be solid in rotations things like that um you know at the end of the game we started playing hard and

We got right back in the game it just tells you where we where we were at all game uh these are tough games though and we knew it uh does that make the start to the second half more frustrating no it doesn’t do anything it really doesn’t

Uh we get to gather ourself um you know get get Chris back in a couple games hopefully I don’t know when um and just build from there um in that third quarter they scored 37 you call timeout you know 47 seconds in it just told us

Where we were at like the uh first play we we gamble for the 50th time in the corner guy drives uh we have to help leads to a three we come back in this uh on our Set uh two guys forget what we’re running uh then we missed the shot and

Then nobody gets back that’s how we start out the third quarter that tells you all you need to know about where our heads were um you know um we had some guys here we had some guys in Cabo um you mentioned the Miami game Pace their movement ball activity I mean Memphis

You had 10day guys two-way guys National TV exactly for their was that kind of a difference too especially in that third quarter they their pace and their speed um you know I think Dave jger said it once it’s like we’re playing decent defense until 5 seconds on the clock and

The guy with the ball puts the ball on the floor and drives it straight line uh our body positions were terrible you listen if a guy’s quicker than you or you’re quicker than him if you’re not Square on the ball you’re going to get beat in this league uh and we were open

Up the whole game guys just mean it was straight line drives and once that happens your defense is broken down in the first quarter it led to all the offensive rebounds and all the loose balls because our bigs were in help they shoot the ball and they get a rebound um

Thought the Zone changed the game for us um but even that uh and I love Zone when you use it in spurts but uh we got to be able to guard the ball we got to be able to keep the ball under control Dame was seven of 21 tonight I know you’ve talked

About you’re not worried about his scoring but uh in these 10 games it has been a bit of a struggle for yeah it has been um you know even before that I think uh the month of January right or whatever’s he’s struggling from the three a little bit but I’m not that

Concerned by it he didn’t forget how to play so um you know we talked about it when I came he’ been he was struggling coming into that and and he still is but I I I swear I’m not that concerned about him um I don’t like the turnovers I will

Say that we uh we got to get away from the turnovers I was gonna say that trap late uh where he tries to find Giannis in the pocket just what can you guys do about those plays is it a different Trigger or we got to anticipate the

Traps number one and the trigger was the wing pass you know it just seems like all of us we forc passes uh and that’s a case where Dame is trying to get it to yanis where the the wasn’t to Giannis the play would have eventually been the

Giannis if we throw it to the wing and then the Giannis uh but that’s something we’ll we’ll improve on um real quick uh for Andre in the third quarter was that you just kind of looking for defensive energy kind of anybody to stay in front

Of the ball um I mean anyone because no one was and I actually thought he did his job you know overall they you know they found him on the other end which happens you know uh I would L them that made that layup that have been great for

His confidence uh the kid takes everything so hard you know you can see it on his face when he missed the layup we’re clapping trying to but he’s young uh he plays hard plays with the right Spirit really like him some of the guys from Memphis that that played well

Tonight Z Williams JG Jackson does that kind of go back to what you’re talking about before guys just playing hard or was there something about those guys that kind of stood out tonight well they made shots um and their speed beat us they beat us off the dribble literally

Whenever they wanted to I thought the the start of the game set the tone low um you start a game out with the team that has key guys out and you’ll allow them to make layups and threes now they’re confident and these guys have people forget these guys have been

Starred somewhere in their lives don’t remind them of that you know and I thought we did that today thanks guys
