Jusuf Nurkic will ALWAYS do this for Devin Booker & Phoenix Suns
Like you got uh some out of his game um right from the start would you just maybe speak to that battle you had with him and what you were your what you were trying to do um in terms of frustrating them I me hear the first part my bad you
Got him out of his game gotame I’m curious what was the that the want to get a guy out of this game what you like you did to accomplish that just being physical you know try to make him take jump shots and I think I did most ofly
With that you know I take a pride I feel like there’s not a lot of people can play and post up with me you know especially on strength but um you have a great you know great year as far as there but um just trying to make people
Take a jump shots you know especially over the one leg and I think we’re going to live with that how how are you taking them fouling you trying to force you to go to the line I mean how did you I guess how did you take that tonight I
Love it man I hope they do their every game 16 free throws I take it you know and you know showed the P that I’m not really shacked like tonight you know obviously I was definitely shaed tonight but 8 for 16 but um hopefully they do next game
Too I would love that change you know shoot free throws like that but um no matter what I’m dealing with rer I have to make these r thrs no excuse but you know Booker and Whitmore kind of got into it and then on the next possession you blocked him twice and
Forced to jump ball I mean that how’d that feel that must felt pretty good I mean the kid you know did some some and in Houston too we remember so they want to play them nonsense basketball they I understand they’re young and you know they got to fight up
And they you know have a good coach and you know I think they great you know setup for the future but it’s just we don’t want to play the antic basketball and I want always have you know back on my teammates you looked pretty fired up
After that how did that kind of just spark something in you and else as a team almost I knew it was GNA happen regardless you know I know he he tried to go out there you know sometimes I use my you know jump ability to block shot
Sometime not but um don’t want to get a foul trouble but um at the end of the day it’s a basketball but you know hopefully those stuff not you know cross the line and people get injured so that’s the you know big the biggest thing find them you know between lines
N you haven’t had too many games like this with the turnover number got a bit High how do you evaluate those after a game do you watch the film how hard you get on yourself I mean you know obviously how many thrs we got I think I have half of
That you know so it’s a bad night for me but um obviously not a really big turnover guy um Bobo started me I hat my first to know Bo I Tred to get him the ball but um it’s bad I got to get it right and you know I don’t want to
Especially we have as a team problem with turnovers and I tonight is just not my night man I guess I got to get over sleep and and get ready for next one do you think the teams are coming in and purposely getting physical with you guys
To kind of challenge you guys for sure for sure I mean it’s Phoenix Suns I guess they want to there’s not a lot of team who can have talent like that and beat us just straight up Talent so a lot of teams try to you know play extra physical and you
Have to you know answer the right way and I think I don’t think that is a bad you know you just feel like team’s coming in and try to be our best players and be extra physical and and hopefully take out of the game but um I think
These players you know build out obviously KD and book probably see a lot of defense like that in they you know for sure in their career right s’s been able to come in and have an impact what have you seen from him lately love it taking the chance you know you know
Sometimes in NBA and I believe you’re always going to get a chance you just got to be ready and I think s show that he can you know do the little things for us bring the ball pass you know finish and and you know security of the ball is
Important for us still back to the chippiness just how much did the bod well for you guys in the future in the postseason when that’s going to happen more and how even Ked you guys continue to be in situations we just got to be smart we you know obviously we want to
Protect us but you know we don’t want to get kick out of the game get technicals and obviously I learned that he’s not who’s starting who actually you know responding so which is kind of you know bad way but um you you just got to be
Smart enough to not get into too much because you know we can’t lose for playoff series in a game like me or KD or whoever we just got to be smart and you know not overreacting there team EMB it when you guys sense it’s going to do
One of those when it’s when’s going to do like the Antics like you said yeah you know you never know who who going to do it but there’s definitely some players who kind of you know knowing they they trying to do best of you but uh I think we ready for
That kind of struggled at the beginning of the yearing for you guys here just taking Pride man we want to protect our home court and you know like you said we didn’t start right you know home court um but we want to be you know see the arena full and engage and you
Know show that our fans that we care for home court old season’s been a battle where do you think you are now with 23 games to go personally as a team I think in a right way where you put a battle injuries and everything I
Think we are in a solid spot you know we don’t want to be in a playoff but I mean in in a playing um situation I know what what what that looked like in the past I’ve been part of that so um I think it’s F fan it’s fine for the fan playing
Tournament and whatever but as a team you know that we are have and and playing the season that we are the you know almost whatever 20 some games I think we in a great spot this is your third time playing against sh or actually second time about last against
Sh what are some of the things about his style and versatility that you basically took away from him tonight and that working in your favor off I think just to take away post um post plays but also as a team we take away his rols um you
Know pull the gym over when he roll and not you know trying to limit his touches I would say but um he’s a you know great player offens special he’s he’s really talented um but like we second half of the Season we turn defense in our favor
Like we tried to you know you know in the beginning of year people came LS and we was trying to figure out who who’s you know in what spot defensively but I think at this point of the Season we really looking better and better every game
What you got do the Jabar you felt was effective tonight if Jabar Smith um I mean you know they have some really really talented young guys there he’s one of them I think he’s long and he rebound the ball better than I and getting offensive rebound but um I think
They offensively they they just not share the ball for him like that but I think he’s you know obviously what second second round overall pick overall pick yeah so you know they have a great great future just you know not at this time
Following a chippy game against the Houston Rockets, Jusuf Nurkic discusses why he will always stand up for his teamates, why Cam Whitmore and Devin Booker got into it, and more!
