Derrick White Explains Conversation with Blake Griffin About Celtics COMEBACK

Questions for do you like most about sorry what do you like most about this aame win streak and um how your teams been playing I think we’re just um doing a good job of uh just proving on stuff that we’ve been talking about um we’re not satisfied with anything so we just

Got to keep getting better and um I think we’ve done a good job with that so far what do you think has set you guys apart from the rest of the NBA um I wouldn’t say nothing too crazy I mean we got a lot of good players and

We’re just playing hard um so that’s what we’re just focusing on each every night and just trying to play our best basketball seems like each of you guys have said that we have a lot of room for improvement still what are some of the things You’ like to see improve in this

Team going down the stretch um I mean each game’s a little different um obviously last game um some of the offensive rebound and stuff but um each game is a little different Challenge and um he does a Joe’s doing a good job of showing us those clips of um

They do this what what what should we do next and just trying to think to that next play and what what could happen in the future Derek I know uh you and P were talking about the conversation you had with Blake about maybe coming back this year um you know when did that

Started even going back to last summer were you guys kind of asking them even as far back as then like oh you going to be back this year you know we’d love to have you back stuff like that yeah um I mean obviously break’s probably one of

The best teammates all of us has ever had um so anytime you have him around um it’s great but um I mean I feel like it’s his decision and um we respect that but uh we all just love having him around where’s he at what do he kind of

Told you guys the last time you talked to him he’s just living life he’s spend time with his family and uh he’s enjoying it like allegedly consult dunk but what else did he bring to the table to help you guys so why do you want to back

So he’s just a great guy um just tough he was was doing in the locker room off the court um obviously on the court um great player can do so much different things for us and um but off the court he was just he’s hilarious he’s just a fun guy to be around

Dere you guys have been focused on like the mental challenge of the season um Joe’s big opponent of like being in the right space you got 25 games left you got the East kind of wrapped up how tough is it to maintain that mentality when you guys are probably your highest

Point this season but you know there’s still a lot more to do Ian I wouldn’t say we’re at our highest point uh we just think we can just keep getting better we know what the end goal is but um we got 25 more games to to playing our best basketball

So uh we just take each opportunity as a challenge and um every time we go out there we’re competing and uh having fun doing what we do no chance of complacency studying in for you guys right no um I hope not uh we just going out there competing we’re still playing

Against we got a really tough stretch right here so high Lev teams that’s going to challenge us and we got to be ready to go how much better are you guys from day one to now as far as intelligence goes it seems like you guys take each game as a a mental and

Physical challenge in trying to improve and attack and do different things mentally yeah I mean the game is um All About execution at the end of the day so um I think we’re all doing a good job just trying to be on the same page um I mean especially a late game it’s

Probably more magnified but throughout the game just trying to uh execute and get a good look each time or uh get a stop each time so um we’re just going to try to keep growing in that aspect looks like you’re starting to run a little more pick and roll with Chris

ABS ended is that something you guys kind of emphasized I know a lot of the times it’s you know who’s who do you want in the play what the read is but is that something you’ve try to you know get into more as you and him in that

Picking R yeah I mean I think any person on our team would say it’s fun of uh play pick and roll KP um he just can do so much different things out there and it’s a match up nightmare so um I mean whoever it is I think that we all enjoy

Uh doing a pick roll of KP and um just kind of makes the read a little easier saw you shots withans know Joe they know Sam they Knowles what’s your relation like some of those guys and some what do they do behind the scenes that fans don’t always recognize

They do they do so much um Matt’s probably my main coach so um obviously on the court but the film break it down um different plays um if we need a challenge mat a guy and and so um just trying to learn I learned so much from

Him this year and uh him Ross Tyler I mean people that are behind the bench don’t get a lot of attention um they do so much for us and just breaking down little things uh offensively defensively and uh we got a we got a great staff think challeng

The yeah I mean uh obviously embiid’s out but they got so much talent and guys out there they play hard um so it’s going to be definitely a challenge for every time we play Philly no matter who’s in the lineup it’s it’s a tough

Game so we got to be ready to go you know Reynolds is the challenge are around here do he taught you guys about what he’s looking for when he figures out a challenge to help you know whether you should be doing this or not um I mean I feel like people are

Going to just do that regardless um but Matt definitely talks to me I spent a lot of time with him so tells us what he’s looking at um why he challenged why he doesn’t Challenge and U I think everybody on the team got a lot of trust in

Thatt thank you D thank d
