Doc Rivers Postgame Press Conference | 03.30.24

Um I I guess just for you guys I think it’s a 26- 17 second quarter just what you see to kind of take well both things I thought you know I was really happy the way we played overall because they came out and did what they do make

Threes and uh we called the timeout uh you know didn’t make any adjustment just let’s play right play better thought we did that um and didn’t the ball movement you know ball movement was fantastic all day I thought overall almost on every play you know if they doubled us BR

Brook do brook lived in the paint tonight uh which I thought was great I think they cut it to five and yeah take a time out Chris three and then another one after that just what do you see from Chris tonight maybe he’s just steady yeah he just had his legs tonight you

Know and it’s it’s probably going to be up and down sometimes um but overall we started the game going to him early got a good Rhythm and I thought he kept his rhythm through the game mentioned Brook in the pain obviously first play Yannis the brook he gets free throw

Um Bobby I mean there’s a size Advantage so how important was that to establish it early but then to continue continue it uh and keep looking for it and and don’t get tired of throwing the ball to the post uh let’s I bet we said that a

Hundred times T like like okay he’s just we got a big guy sitting in the middle of the paint throw it to him and if they trap throw it back out and let’s get a three you know um I think guys don’t understand in the out basketball does

Not have to be with a drive it can be with a post to out and I thought we did that more than that um 18 for Pat B five assists um not typically a scoring yeah his podcast was going to be a dooy but how needed was that at times

Especially in that fourth there were a couple floaters there that that kind of helped big basket you know uh proud of Malik uh struggled shooting the ball uh drove one made a shot you know saw the ball go in uh and then he makes a three

You know so uh both of those guys made big shots for us we saw the Hawks battle back even though you all had them up yeah by 20 even though they were um a little short today as far as players what makes them so tough they make threes you know they’re an explosive

Offensive team uh elad is never safe um we you know we watch the two Boston games uh up 30 you know so that helped us you know we talked about that uh 366 and8 for jannis and this is our first mention yeah as I said we take them for granted you know

Um we really do I thought he played as clean of a game as as you can play um he shot when he should shoot he passed when he should pass he defended when he should defend I mean he did everything that you want a great player to do and

He he did it all like he he we played through him most of the night uh he he just had a fantastic night I mean not that he ever gets discouraged we said after New Orleans getting to the free free throw line a lot is important he can make more

But just what that creates what did you think of just that sort of relentlessness for him you go back to the Oklahoma game and we talked about it in shoot round um I think we had nine or 11 bigs down low we’ve had two since you

Know and so if you want to know why you don’t go to the free throw line as a group well no one’s in the paint uh tonight we drove the ball in the paint we posted the ball in the paint uh and we got fouled and we got to the line and

What it does especially against a team like Atlanta it allows you to set your defense uh cuz you don’t want to play the you know the Speed Racer game against them that’s what they do uh but us getting to the line allowed us to use

Our size and then us to be able to put our hands on them on defense I think the fcks have been 0 and five without uh Lillard and you talked about being happy with the ball so obviously some other folks yeah they had to and itself

Because the Dame is a point guard so you take the ball out of his hands you put it in jiannis hands you put it in Pat Beverly’s hands Pat conon Uh to run your offense Chris Middleton uh they all did a good job all right guys Happy Easter

Doc Rivers speaks to the media following Saturday nights win against the Atlanta Hawks.
