Grant Williams on TRASH TALK With Jayson Tatum, Calls Celtics ‘Family’ | Hornets Postgame Interview

Never mind um Grant CLI was just sitting here talking a little bit about the defense and said although they only had seven fast break points they had on Heels the entire the pace what was so tricky about simply just not getting back yeah it was the urgency that we

Probably could have gotten back a little bit better as a group um just making sure that was the focus CU although it may not seem like it was fast break points you know they still had an advantage whether it was like they had the B they do a great job of kicking the

Ball ahead to their Playmakers and if JT has a mismatch it puts you in a difficult position and same with Chris dos even down the line so um they did a phenomenal job of that of running tonight even though you know they had the legs I guess but we got to do a

Better job of not coming into the game with more attention to that because in the half cour I thought we guarded them pretty well you know they made some tough shots as they’re going to that’s talented they are as a team but um we

Got to do a better job of making sure we don’t give them the easy ones what kind of toll take on the defense physically just with they’re constantly getting the ball up Court even if it’s just the passes yeah um it’s just like when especially in the situations where we

Don’t necessarily get um a good look or good shot you know it makes us you know a little bit more pressured in no way but we did I thought we did a good job of staying calm and trying to play through but they did a good job of

Making shots Sam play his tail off tonight as he always does you know he shoots to piss out of it as he’s done since I’ve been in Boston and then you know they have the other guys with JT um Chris stops and then Drew and DWI all

Those guys played well but we just had to do a better job of making sure we came back and um got our defense set because when our defense set we’re one of the best defenses in the league coach said other than the first quick foul good game you talk about that match ups

What problems he presents other than height I’m kidding uh he’s he’s a special talent he’s been that I always have you know I always give him credit because I always had issues guarding to me when I was in Boston when he was in Washington and when he in Dallas just

Because you know he does a good job of playing with his uh size and he’s a big that can shoot you know he’s a great ad to that team um he does a good job of you know I do even when you push his catch out he does a good job getting to

Where he wants to go and then you know uses his length to either get fouled or or shoot over the top of you but I thought it was a fun game you know he he’s Elite player for a reason and I love matching up against guys like that

And um although difficult you know those are the things you want every single night you know you don’t go sign up to be in this league to you know take a chill pill every game you want to play against the best and he’s one of those

Guys so I’m thankful to be able to play against him your yeah that’s always going to be my brother man um he’s family um even all those guys on that team um we had tremendous years together you know whether it’s Sam going to his wedding last summer whether it’s Payton um he’s

Getting married here soon JT JB um Luke cornette honestly one of the best best guys in the league one of the best teammates I’ve ever had Al being on my vet you know I can talk great about those guys through the rest of my career

And then as I tell stories when I’m done I’ll be doing the same but um it’s definitely nostalgic you know seeing those guys but it’s also fun competing against them because you know when you’re on the team you don’t realize how good they are but then uh when you go go

Against them you understand what it was like to get to that level to be able to win at that rate every single night and to get guys best because we had a decent game you know it’s not like we played terribly on the offensive end but um we

We got to do a better job of holding on defensive side of the basketball too and um it shows that we have a ways to go but I’m excited for this this team and when we get all our guys and a full deck to play against them next year how were

You when you got that first switch on the JT and took you so I saw you swipe for the race you knew you were going toest the shot yeah I was just swiping and I was a little bit too far off cuz normally you know you just swipe and I

Can test over the top when I guard that step back but he made it you know um I always joke with him because when I was in Dallas I think he scored that first transition basket then he missed the next I think two or three and same with

That one he made that pull up and then he missed the next one so it’s just it’s just fun be able to compete against him on the other side without with referees you know because it’s easy to you know in practice go one-on-one but he’s always saying I’m hacking and you know I

Showed that I don’t really hack that much because I got to stop without fouling so it was pretty cool then you know this the second time you fa this year but this the first time where it’s like you’re kind of Sally involved in everything you’re running picking tops

Right away You’re somehow getting KP to fight off I why on those but how much fun was it to like really get a chance to really go against on kind of bistic level yeah you know I always you know it’s one of those where you’re in certain situations and systems when I

Was in Boston whether Dallas too you know and you’re playing a certain role and and Charlotte have I feel like an expanded role than I had when I was there and it allows you to kind of see how you stack up against those guys and

I was happy to be able to compete and whether I played well or not you know I I just wanted to go out there and really you know be physical and do the things I normally do and um I think I think KP respects my shooting enough to buy at

The shop pick every now and again but uh it was it was a good game and you know it’s great to compete against those guys I I would love to play them every single night because you know you play against the best of the best it makes you um

Your your team tougher yourself so um with our our guys I’m excited that these guys got the opportunity to play against them because you know whether one Trey man was an OKC and like guys are getting an opportunity to see what it’s like and I think that’s what’s needed for this

Team as we move forward through the next couple seasons saw you went back and forth of JC a little bit in third quarter there uh would you be able to share what you guys were saying to each other that and honestly we talked so much in that game

I have no idea but he just him and D constantly call me a hack and I’m always just like y’all yall are hacks you just don’t get coughs for it because you’re Superstars and I always tease him about that because uh I get I think he was

Saying like I was fouling KP or something like that and I was just like hey man you fouled AP and um Brandon in two possessions in a row they did didn’t call the foul on you cuz you know you’re light-skinned and you think you’re pretty but uh that’s that’s all it

Was I had a chance to interview your high school coach Brian field recently he talked about you being like an active talker one of his most active Talkers in high school uh who on this team besides yourself is very important to the vocal side of defense and why is that so

Important miles brid is going to be big for us you know making sure he’s a priority for us and I I can’t I’m not in that those conversations but um he’s a leader on this team and I know as we continue to mature with one another as a

Group I think he’ll be really really important moving forward he’s has a good voice and I think guys respect him and he works hard and I’m thankful for him in this locker room and even the guys that are learning to speak more you know I think Mark Williams will have a great

Voice eventually when he gets back um when he’s playing and then um vasilia Miss is really really good you know he’s he’s more of a pull you to the side one-on-one conversation guy but um I think he does a great job of picking his spots you know not only just being a

Great vet you know even though he’s technically a rookie but um he’s been playing basketball professionally for however long and he’s he’s been been very vocal on this team
