Mikal Bridges reacts to Nets’ loss over the Magic

THEY WERE GUARDING YOU AND PICK-AND-ROLLS WAS JUST TROUBLESOME TONIGHT. >> YEAH. I MEAN, JUST MAKING IT TOUGH, BLITZING AND STUFF. A COUPLE TURNOVERS, TRY AND MAKE THE RIGHT PLAY, BUT YEAH, THEY WAS JUST TRAPPING A LITTLE BIT. >> OVERALL JUST KIND OF WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST ISSUE WITH THE TURNOVERS, THINGS THEY WERE

DOING, EVERYONE TRIES TO FORCE IT? WHAT DO YOU THINK THE BIGGEST ISSUE WITH TURNOVERS WAS? >> I THINK JUST WE WERE A LITTLE BIT CARELESS WITH SEEING THEM GET OUT IN TRANSITION AFTER. SO JUST THEM LEADING THE FAST BREAK, JUST BEING CARELESS WITH IT. >> THE ONLY GAMES THAT YOU

GUYS HAVEN’T HAD A BETTER THAN ONE-TO-ONE RATIO HAVE BEEN TORONTO AND THIS ONE. JUST HOW STEEP IS THIS LEARNING CURVE WHEN YOU’RE TRYING TO GET USED TO A NEW OFFENSE? >> YEAH, I MEAN IT’S TOUGH, BUT YOU JUST GOTTA GET THROUGH IT, STILL BE SOLID AND MAKE THE RIGHT PLAY AND NOT TURN

THE BALL OVER. BUT I MEAN, JUST GOTTA GET THROUGH IT, JUST LEARN FROM IT, BE READY FOR THE NEXT GAME. >> WHAT ABOUT THE ADJUSTMENT WITHOUT CAM THOMAS TONIGHT? THAT HAD TO BE SOME KIND OF AN ISSUE, NO? >> YEAH, SURE. ONE OF OUR SCORERS, HIM BEING OUT, YOU KNOW, IT TAKES AWAY

ABOUT 0 POINTS, BUT IT’S “NEXT MAN UP,” AND WE JUST, WE JUST, YOU KNOW, JUST STRUGGLED TONIGHT. >> DO YOU NEED TO GO INSIDE MORE TO HELP YOUR OUTSIDE GAME? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU KIND OF FOCUS ON? BECAUSE IT HASN’T REALLY BEEN, IT WAS A TOUGH TRIP FROM OUTSIDE FOR YOU.

>> I MEAN, JUST READING THE GAME. YOU KNOW, JUST WHEN I’M OPEN I GOTTA TAKE THREES, THEY ALL FEEL GOOD, IT’S JUST NOT GOING N. UNFORTUNATELY IT’S NOT FUN. SO JUST CONTINUE TO JUST TAKE, YOU KNOW, WHAT DEFENSE GIVES ME, KEEP BEING AGGRESSIVE. YOU KNOW, KEEP SHOOTING. SO JUST NEXT GAME.

>> AT HOME HELP MAYBE SHAKE SOME OF THE LEARNING CURVE A LITTLE BIT, IN FAMILIAR TERRITORY, THINGS OF THAT NATURE? >> YEAH, IT’S GOOD TO BE HOME. BUT YEAH, JUST GO HOME, LEARN FROM IT AND HAVE A NICE LITTLE HOME STRETCH AND TRY TO MAKE A RUN. >> THE GOAL IS TO CATCH

ATLANTA IN A PLAY-IN TOURNAMENT, DO YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND THESE NEXT TWO GAMES ARE ALMOST LIKE PLAYOFF GAMES BECAUSE YOU’RE THREE BACK, YOU NEED THE SEASON SERIES TO, DO YOU REALIZE THE IMPORTANCE COMING UP THIS WEEKEND? >> SURE, BUT EVERY GAME IS SUPER IMPORTANT, SO IT’S NOT REALLY LOOKING AT ANY OTHER GAME.

IT’S JUST, YOU KNOW, OUR BEST GAME, TOUGHEST GAME IS OUR NEXT GAME NO MATTER WHAT THE ISSU
