great games from ad DLo and ruy big shot Robin after losing seven of nine and coming home from a tough road trip Lakers needed this yeah I really like what ruby was doing in that first half you know taking over the game and of course in the second half I got a little worried in beginning that third but of course ad said you know what give me the ball and he took over and also DLo DLo got hot from three so there was a multipe of players who played very well in this game I agree you know and without LeBron without Reeves it really to show you that guys can play if they get minutes I like the way the ball was moving I think they had a lot of assists tonight what do they have an assist tonight 25 that’s pretty good um you know so everyone was involved I thought ruy you know we talk about him being The X Factor sometime we see how much potential he has if he’s aggressive so it was good to see it was good to see d uh knockdown shots really productive maxed you know you know the guys when they get opportunities mhm they created some some chemistry tonight they know a little bit short-handed and it was a good win at home no LeBron no Austin Reeves that’s about 40 points just kind of cooling on the bench DLo 14 assists yeah almost as many as the entire Portland team I loved his game tonight G a good get right win for the Lakers now you get the rest two games over the next 10 days get to get to breathe a little bit take a deep breath good stuff practice and some RNR yeah now ra got time off rest and ready to go Lakers at 1311 let’s go back downtown we’ll be here BR Rim mura is with Mike trudell all right ruy haura that game turned in the second quarter you scored 12 points in a manner of about five minutes what did you see there to try and get the go the guys going you know right after the game uh Lebron was out I found out we found out that LeBron was out so uh the coaches told me I had to step out tonight so yeah I was trying to be aggressive and uh yeah we Shing the ball today and then we’re playing good defense so that’s why we got this stuff your Countryman sh Otani was clapping loudly every time you score it seemed like he was enjoying the show what what does that after if you have a show here in the building here yeah we support each other you know we as a Japanese you know we we in the biggest stage of the sports uh industry you know uh Sports World and we we just trying to be the best you know I want to you know I want to win it here so yeah I think it’s it’s a good thing you know we support each other in their leg so yeah Ry what do you guys want to get accomplished a little bit of rest and some practice as you don’t play until Friday we need that we we need to rest but also we have to reset you know we got to we got to practice you know and then we got to kind of reconnect you know we had the our first 10 game was pretty good you know we got to get back to our that what we used to have so yeah I think we know that far you know we just got to reset and then we be fine yeah and then last one for you this has felt like a lot this recent stretch just all of the travel the games back to back so I suppose you can need this coming up here yeah we talked about that before the game too but you know that was the most crazy EST stretch of the our season you know so we we kind of went through and then now we have the home standard coming up so we just got to focus on that all right appreciate it R thank you [Music] appreciate ruy haimura shouting out Shi Otani World Series champion with the Los Angeles daughters and MVP was in attendance and DLo and ruy with some big games against the Blazers big game you know we were saying listen he’s been putting up good numbers averaging about 13 over his last four games just wasn’t getting a lot of volume and tonight we had a feeling he was going to get it and he took advantage and I think you know this is where it needs to be going forward they need to include him you know just as much as they include you know not not just as much but they need to include him in the offense he’s he he can score he’s strong he can put the ball on the floor he can hit the little eight-footer the 10-footer he’s dangerous when he aggressive for me I say it all the time ru is one of those guys you know if you if you go up him on the offensive would go to him at the offensive van he’s more he’s a little bit better on the defense van and he’s like okay I’m involved it’s not a car guy here in this machine he feels more involved and I’ve been saying that for a while it’s a lot of NBA players that are like that if you go to the one two time two times offensively they’re going to get the best out of them if you don’t use them offense they kind of that little kid looking at the butterfly in the field you know he I I like it when they use him because he’s he’s very good at pump fake and relocating yeah know he loves to pump fake relocate mhm you just described me whenever they bury me in right field in high school you just kind of watch the go by you never want that to happen right if if you’re playing an NBA game ruy a big part of the defense tonight like you mentioned the four steals ad five block shots James they held a team under 100 for only the second time this year thought the defense was really important for a team that let a couple games get away from them three games get away from them already in the past week or so way to clamp down on the team let’s face it they’re not good they just lost by 48 to Utah the other night this port team is Young um they’re trying to do this weird thing where they have a few veterans but they also have a bunch of Youth not a good team Lakers took advantage in a should win game right yeah Lakers are now yes they should win we change it no more win BTS should win uh yes but they’re now 10 and one against teams uh under 500 listen we showed Dow on that graphic as well he’s coming off a game in Atlanta that went into overtime but they went with Max and Gabe down the stretch big time deal only 21 minutes came out tonight we knew we would have a huge role and he did 34 minutes 28 points five of 10 from three and Rob 14 assists crucial yeah the 14 assists you know the one it was one moment in that game where I thought he was really engaged well he had the three-point shot but he gave it over to cam and cam hadn’t been shooting the ball that well but you know what he says I’m going to get you invol involved young F so he passed him and that lets you know DLo is a heck of a passer he has some incredible back doors and when he’s passing the ball like that we’ve been talking about earlier guys’s been engaged this guy is really into the game when he’s getting assists and scor scoring he’s one of the best guys out there yeah I mean two turnovers he had the highest plus minus on the team nobody else was in their 20s he was plus 29 so when they’re charting him they’re charting a lot of things going after steals you know uh his accuracy on his assists so he’s you know he’s coming around and I think coming off the bench has suited him well uh for whatever reason he gets the chance to just see what’s going on that he comes in and and does what he has to do very productive tonight for DLo I don’t know what was going on in the first month of the regular season for DLo not shooting well you know a couple games where it’s like man just doesn’t seem like he’s into it and I thought this would be a great year for him I thought we’d see a lot of what we saw last season from DLo with his 226 threes places in a contract year nothing seemed to be falling for him James the defense wasn’t there the the assists weren’t there not that he’s you know the second coming of Steve Nash or anything but bottom line DLo wasn’t DLo that we got used to last season and now suddenly the last couple weeks you know maybe it’s the move to the bench whatever’s happening he took it very professionally didn’t complain at all he’s playing good ball I mean more often than not he has good games where he’s he’s getting the teammates involved hitting threes and I’m very impressed by what he’s done G especially tonight yeah leading the rotation in plus minus this season I do want to talk ad guys also just I mean every single night set in the tone 30 points had the 11 rebounds of five blocks three of those were in the first qu quarter big game nine for n from the free throw line uh listen with especially with those guys out you just kind of knew that this was going to be you know your your pulse for the night ad yeah I mean key of good character key of good professionalism bouncing back and you know being productive for the team and that’s what he did uh I mean five blocks Gater yeah I thought ad was going to have a triple double because he got those five blocks in I’m like okay we gonna get a triple double this gu but you know he just start he made people scared he made people afraid of going to the paint and as a big that’s half the battle if you can get guys Lio coming at you and they’re going to try to move around the perimeter and take bad shots that’s perfect and I think what he does defense is incredible you know you had one play they showed where he was guarding the guard he tried to cross him over he picked his pocket he starts a fast break how many bigs can do that not very many remember that game recently where he had eight points yeah me neither how about the game where he had one shot about the game where we had one shot against OKC in the fourth quarter yeah you can kind of forget about that a little bit more now he did a very weird stretch for a couple weeks and AD I think he’s back it started in Atlanta the other night he and LeBron super close to getting a really good win for the Lakers on the road did not happen but I like what he did tonight we’ll see if he can keep that momentum going forward going back to Minnesota James in just a few days H you know they got some time here to practice and relax a little bit I want to see how he does in in the rematch against Minnesota he was not good there about a week ago and and listen I I understand that it is Portland but uh these games matter especially when you’ve lost seven of nine so you got to take advantage when these opportunities come and AD and the Lakers did just that and we don’t take for granted what ad does out there I mean just look at how many people do the 310 in five games most in history and AD guys is up there you know we expect this from ad especially me because you see the talent he has you see his athletic ability you see his knowledge of the game that’s one thing we hardly ever talk about ad is his IQ when you watch him play he’s not a selfish player he waits for cuts he goes for back doors he does a lot of things that that that that people expect him to do that does he get credit for because you know we talk about LeBron’s IQ we talk about a lot of players IQ but we never talk about his he does everything on the floor the right way and that’s what I love about him he never goes out of his way which makes me mad sometime but he plays the game the right way yeah just super impressed Again by what he’s been doing lately um look Vegas made it pretty clear we talked about the odds before the game James while you were uh having fun downtown at the Laker Christmas party and and Vegas said he has to score 31 points tonight that was the over under for him of course they knew what they were talking about he had 30 but the onus was going to be on him tonight to lead this team to Victory no LeBron no Austin Reeves the list goes on from there no Jared Vanderbilt no Jackson Hayes no Christian Wood am I missing anyone possibly seems like half the team’s on the sideline ad said all right get on my back tonight guys I got you the game dominant numbers huh I mean it was it was a good group effort but ad bounced back to where he needed to thought you know collectively they guys did what they needed to do uh and know that’s got to feel good regardless of who their opponent was just to get that wind your sleep a little better tonight and you go forward from here got some time some downtime yeah uh to rest and refocus and have something they mean five days is significant James right you don’t ever have that in the NBA unless it’s all PR I also want to add something about ad you know one of the things I always like for him to do is be aggressive and go towards the basket even though he shot three or four shots I thought he was fading away from the basket that I don’t like him doing but he got to the free throw nine times he was nine for nine and to me when he was averaging 32 points a game he was shooting 10 free throws a game yeah and if you look at all the the leading scores in the NBA that’s where they get a third of day point it’s from the free thr he’s getting 30 when he does that he has to be in attack mode absolutely all right let’s hear from JJ reck he’s speaking with Mike in the media scratch and then kind of DLo you went to Delo early in the third when things started seemed like they went the other way what what was important with him in the offense and kind of stay izing things tonight yeah um I thought there’s a few things there you know just halfcourt shot creation um having another ball handler out there um really wanted to play in the middle of the floorida night um they have some young guys that really try to pressure you and didn’t feel like playing on the side was good didn’t feel like playing in the post really was good either um cuz they they flood with that low guy and they’re disruptive kamara’s you know Kamar like Dyson Daniels or some of these other guys we’ve played recently that um just kind of get you out of your your flow offensively if if you are stagnant uh so we wanted to just play in the middle of the floor um but I thought ruy in that second quarter was great and DLo just you know having a big Time game ad was fantastic um and then defensively for us I I thought a number of guys uh played really well and uh Gabe Vincent Max Christie cam um it was a you know it was a it was a overall a really really good game for our group along those lines um what’s sort of the big picture utility on a night L tonight in terms of I mean obviously deal hit shots but before that I felt like he was doing a lot of little things in terms of organization and stuff like that that mattered um you mentioned cam I mean he had four assists I think during the second quarter uh what’s sort of is is the the challenge to take this stuff that occurred like on a night when you know LeBron and and Austin aren’t out there and possessions and and figure out ways to fit this in yeah I think you have to adapt throughout the season with what works for the group and and what works for different players um you know I I will say you know night toight um LeBron and AD are gonna have the ball and they’re going to the offense is going to run through them um you know how we do that has been different at different times throughout the year um the other guys um are really good offensive players and really talented and there’s nights where it’s it’s their nights and there’s nights where it’s not um so it’s it’s a some of it is feel but again you have to you have to be open to mixing different things in um you know it’s funny because we when LeBron when LeBron was like scratched I went into my office and I and I put uh like seven atos together that obviously didn’t involve him one of which was for ruie uh which I don’t know if we’ve called an atto for him since the preseason and we executed it scored and we ended up running that nine or 10 times and I think they stopped it once so um just that flexibility I think is important you told us pregame with no LeBron you’re going to need your team to move cut pass get in transition and touch the pain every possession like how do you assess that checklist after the game yeah um I thought uh you know I don’t even know what this you know I thought I I really thought the the the 80 ruy combo uh was was really great uh in in the twom man and that um they just they couldn’t stop it so um maybe we didn’t need to touch the paint tonight you guys had um think because in the second quarter part of 15-y old run you guys had I want to say five or six consecutive stops a lot of times we talk about offensive flow and Rhythm how much of that also applies defensively in terms of know stops can lead to more stops and that I guess raise the energy of the group yeah um we’ve talked about it with our group we’re a better defensive team when we’re set versus in transition and when you get stops and even if it’s not a transition bucket uh maybe there’s cross matches um the defense is you know scrambling and and you can uh you can exploit that um you know outside of aon’s um offensive rebounds and a couple of iso 3s that we gave up two in the first half the Advia one in the late in the in the in the second half um you know it was it was a very good defensive game for us I thought our veers are low man um you know they’re they’re not running a ton of ghost stuff the one thing they do run that they ghost out of is is is similar to our horns chest and we defended that well so I think just overall the the defense was was really solid um coach I really like you know first of what you said about playing in the middle of the floor because I noticed like DLo had a stretch where he was getting hot but he was going to that nail entry to to Ruan and I was kind of the same situation in the first quarter too where ad you made sure that you got him at the nail entry talk about that how you like that execution and then also you know the 14 steals tonight too as well yeah again our defensive activity was really good um I think Gabe ended up with with three steals ruy had four um you know it’s it’s obviously harder to double it’s harder to send help um in the middle of the floor than it is on the side or in the post um it just felt like both those guys whether it was through switching with ruy or uh with ad0 primary or with the switch um we could get good offense out of that tonight you guys have um four days now until you have to play another game um you’re only going to practice once kind of what went into the calculus in terms of what this team needs um and I guess curiously for you I mean what about what the coaches need that’s what I was going to ask like like for you um getting this kind of Break um how are you going to handle it in terms of an audit and and stuff like that well we haven’t had a ton of practice time uh but the reality is we are banged up even the guys that are playing every night are banged up we I would say tonight is the end of a very long two-e road trip uh we’ve already had an 11-day road trip um travel has been tough um some of the um the backto backs and you know even just the other night from Atlanta getting home at 3:00 a.m. um so I would have liked to practice but I I think you do have to look for these opportunities and they’re very rare to give your guys two days two days off um Tuesday it’s not mandatory but you know will be sort of a recovery get what you need day um for for guys that need it but Heck if somebody wants to go spend a couple nights in Santa Barbara and relax that’s fine too you know it’s it’s um it’s quarter way through the season um for the coaching staff you know we’ve already started doing some internal auditing um some comparisons between you know first 14 games really offensively first 15 games and and what we’ve done the previous or the previous nine going into tonight um just trying to figure out what works what doesn’t and um you know some of the some of the red stuff we need to audit and figure out what what switching groups we want to have and what type of teams are hurting the Reds versus what type of teams we’ we’ve defended the well against with our switching groups versus when we played coverage and all that stuff so um it’s a good opportunity for everybody thanks coach he ran a ATL for you he said he probably hasn’t run an atto for you since the preseason and then you guys kept going into the same play uh you know how’ you how did that work being featured and how did maybe that help you get going yeah he probably we probably did like what we didn’t do this whole season we did in this game you know literally it was like back back to back to back to back you know but you know that’s the trust I got from this team you know especially Bron was out today we found out right before the game so they told me the coaches told me I have to step out tonight so um I was I was I was ready for it you know and then yeah just as a team I think we moving the ball well you know do dow was do was great you know of course ad and especially the uh other guys you know Gabe Max cam was really good defensively you know that’s why we got this stb so that was great ruy uh you led the team at four Ste tonight seemed like overall um your defensive play has stepped up past couple weeks just how would you gauge your own play on that yeah I was just trying to be aggressive you know especially defensively we we struggling we’ve been struggling so but today I I think uh um playing with the more with the gay you know cam you know Mass you know I think it made us easier to kind of you know be more aggressive because that you know I can trust them you know they they always make a plays defensively so um yeah I think it was it was a great for you know defensively for us today hey ruy uh show Otani was here tonight did you get to say hi and catch up with him at all no no I didn’t I didn’t know he was going to come I found out right before the game but but yeah he’s a you know he’s a very lowkey guy you know he don’t he don’t want to be in the scene like that so yeah but you know I think it’s good that we we you know we both play in most highest level in sports leagues and we especially in La you know that’s like biggest um Market here so yeah it’s just like we support each other he support us support me um I support you know of course they won but I think uh they that that kind of motivate me too you know I I want to win year and with have a lot of chance this year too so um yeah that’s the that was a that was a great moment for sure hey ruy um want to ask you JJ talked a lot about playing in the middle of the floor a lot of situations you you will hold a screen get a switch how did you like that you know that match up for you in terms of playing at the nail and then being able to ice on being able to work and not see a double team cuz you’re playing at the middle of the floor yeah that’s that’s my spot you know you guys know um since I was College you know that’s the literally that’s that’s literally my spot I can’t I don’t I can’t say anything else you know literally you know I’ve been working on that’s my that’s why I got drafted you know basically so you know um yeah nothing I can you know uh say about it’s just uh I like to play that you know elbows and you know it’s easier for me to you know there’s a lot of options you know I can drive I can just shoot over you know and somebody comes I can pass to right away so yeah it’s good I’m sorry if you’ve been asked this but you said I think something to mic after the game about getting back to the way that you guys have played in the past um offensively H how tough has it been to try to in to put a new system in around a group of players that has played together a very different way and and I guess where do you think this team is in in terms of getting comfortable with the best way to maybe play yeah just you know we have a lot of injury guys in and out you know and especially today was like six guys out you know the actually main rotation guys you know so it’s tough you know every games we have a different you know rotation status all that but it is what it is you know but as a team I think what we can control is you know especially like a practice you know that’s the how we we have the base and the core that’s what it’s going to you know uh bring it to the real games so I think uh with this like you know uh stretch of you know away you know World Games and all that we didn’t really have to like practice like that you know we couldn’t get it you know so I think this 10 days you know we have 10 days of stretch we only have two games so I think we need to rest but also we can’t to we need to kind of reset and then get back to what we had in our first 10 games you know we we we were really good you know uh we have that you know we just you know we we kind of break that but I think we can get back easily so we just got to focus on that [Music] [Music] te [Music] [Music] for [Music] [Music] [Music] thank you uh so now uh Lebron James Anthony Davis Dalton connect and Quincy olivari have all taken their first shot in an NBA game and made it uh what what was that moment like for you a lot of prayer a lot of preparation and a lot of perseverance meant a lot especially to have my dad here just you know he was the first person to take me to an NBA game had Philips Arena sit up in the 300 section I used to just say I want to be here and to have it here and have them here hit a three it it meant a lot it was it was a great feeling and obviously I’m glad we won but I hope it’s three points of 50,000 you know I dream big but I’m just I’m just happy that I I got it and a win Quincy um take us through kind of what you’re were deing with with the ankle and and sort of what it’s been like to get back and and I guess physically where you’re at right now oh yeah so I was in San Diego um I think that was the third game and just kind of coming off a ball screen kind of playing it landed wrong and I was out about two weeks crutches boot just kind of worked my way back and then I got really sick in Santa Cruz and kind of gave me a setback but just trusted the process trusted the staff and then finally in Portland started inching my way back and today honestly was the first day where I felt like 100% no soreness no stiffness so that’s just coming into the game I had a lot of confidence that it would be a good game and obviously it was but I feel great trusted the staff and obviously if I’m still on minute restriction in the G League or whatever they need me to do I’ll follow that but I feel great Quincy just you asked about the first B but just how much what did it feel like to just step on the court for the first time and how much had you thought about that moment coming into tonight I almost wasn’t able to take my nap today when I woke up this morning at 8:00 a.m. I woke up to a text change of plans you active and I was just up you know I I was excited and some just I just it just felt like the day and everybody has those feelings where you just feel real confident that something’s about to happen and I prayed twice and I did my usual I went up got some shots up in the morning played the game with my friends at home ate took a nap woke up unfortunately unfortunately my Falcons lost but it’s whatever came to the game listened to my little baby and just went through my routine and it was it just felt good quiny first off congrats on your journey and everything you’ve been you know being able to accomplish so far but I wanted to ask you about the curry brand deal you know first off congratulations on that just getting that opportunity and then two I saw the kicks you had uh you had the bullseye what was it on there on on the on the kicks you had the custom kicks in the first game too so speak about that and you know the creativity that you’re allowed to have too with the curry brand too yeah so I mean right now I’m rocking the tough crowd outfit on the feet I have some UA Forge tough crowd collab coming out in 2025 definitely shout out Curry BR I’m very thankful for the opportunity but it’s it’s been an amazing amazing feat you know being a two-way player with a with a shoe deal obviously I don’t take it lightly but it’s it’s an amazing amazing lishment with that those shoes I will say those are actually a curry PE so those are actually Steph shoes um he he likes scary movies I don’t so you’ll never catch me wearing no scary movie they was supposed to be like saw saw so he had like some insoles with the with the saw doll no I won’t wear no I don’t do no scary movies but they the my connect Brian Williams He Tech told me that he was coming in this weekend he gave them to me at my g-league game yesterday and I really lik them the curry ones they’re very comfortable and uh if y’all watching go to under AR get y’all a pair of Curry one Curry one low is for sure very comfortable very stylish but yeah saw Curry pees Curry one Lowe’s they looked out and with the with the freedom you know maybe some pees coming in the future but I won’t get too much into that with with the shoe deal um you know just knowing how a lot of players do not get that opportunity no matter how great they are they still don’t get that opportunity for you to get that on the two-way what does that mean and what do you feel like that says to a lot of players out there to keep dreaming and you will get that opportunity anything is possible like I started in my press conference I hope it’s three points of 50,000 and I might never ever touch 50,000 but the fact that I’m speaking it into the world lets me know and lets other people know that you just just Chase it you know you never know what you’ll accomplish along the way and obviously being a two-way player it it makes it even more impressive but I’m just very thankful that God bless me with that ability I tell people from Under Armor I tell Steph and tell my associates like I’m very thankful for everything that y’all have done for me I’m very thankful for y’all believing in me too because y’all believe that I can represent the brand in a positive light and I don’t take that lightly because a is Steph’s brand but B I’m on a contract that’s non- guaranteed so y’all see that you believe that I can be something greater than what I already am Quincy over here how surreal is this moment for you um and and what does this represent for you in terms of your journey to actually finally get the call up to be here and to knock down your first three like just take me through kind of the the journey that it’s been and and what it represents for you amazing journey Max Christie actually in the locker room jokingly laid it out for me he said man you came a long way summer league E10 training camp preseason Milwaukee preseason dapped up Steph Curry got a picture went famous got signed and then you went to the g-league you were going off and then you got hurt and then you came back and then you scored a bucket it’s like man you’re really cool and I was just like I was like bro like leave me alone but he’s been real excited about it and it’s just a it’s it’s a great great feeling you know because it’s just a testament of what hard work will get you what perseverance to get you and most importantly what belief in the Lord will get you because especially with the sermon today like God can do Miracles that you never ever thought were ever possible but as long as you believe in him and you trust his process for you you never know where it’ll lead you so I’m just very thankful like I said I’m glad my dad was here to see it I got the game ball and I begged him to please let me take my jersey so my dad could wear it around you know it got his last name on it so I’m just very thankful man I just hope it’s it’s the beginning of something very special so you’ve gotten to develop a kind of cool relationship with your hero staff obviously as people mentioned um were you able to touch Bas with stuff at all once you found out that you were going to be able to play today and if not what’s like a the best piece of advice you would say you’ve gotten from him so far I haven’t I didn’t reach out to him today I will say Under Armour took me out to dinner last night and we talked briefly on FaceTime at dinner but the best advice he gave me we kind of so I reached out to him last week or this yeah last week before they played Houston and I was just like you know like they talking about blah blah blah the warri and you know y’all haven’t won so I just sent him a text I was like yo bro I believe in you like go be that dude that you I know you can be like just go out there have fun my dad always say uh I play best when I’m having fun when I’m playing loose so just go out there and be that kid that that’s having fun you know your family believe in you I believe in you and why not make this last month of 2024 special and um he sent a text he was like I appreciate it I said so when you go out there tomorrow cuz I thought he was playing against the Rockets um but it ended up being the timber I said when you go out there do that little shim you do cuz you don’t got no rhythm but you know at least try your best to do it and he he laughed at it he said I’m I’m going to try my best but it’s just light-hearted text just about having fun and reminded me that this is just just basketball go out there Have Fun Shoot the threes and give them a show Quincy you know being on a two-way contract obviously you know you’re going to have time where you’re going to shuffle back and forth you know between here and South Bay you know playing in South Bay last night you know even though it’s not that far um you know just kind of how do you navigate you know kind of that uncertainty and you know what’s what’s kind of key for you to staying ready you know despite you know that that shuffle this is this what I love to do either way I’m playing basketball either in LA or n La you know I’m having fun I’m with the Lakers and I’m I’m in an organization that Believes In Me from Mella to the coaching staff with the Lakers uh everybody believes me from the from the top down I understand that this a process so whether I am injured or whether I haven’t got the call up or I do get the call up I just got to stay with my process because end of the day it’s just basketball it’s fun and the more more times I play fun the more good games I have and I got to remember that when things get stressful to just take a quick moment to decompress pray and remind myself while I’m having fun and that’s what my dad tries his best to do is just always remind me like you know go out there have fun smile you don’t look like you having fun so you not having a good game Quincy clearly you have been a dreamer and you continue to dream what does it feel like to have your dreams come true unbelievable un unbelievable honestly I might not be able to sleep tonight um because I might be on the phone with my homies just telling them like that was crazy but I think what’s kept me going is always trying to chase the next thing like I have that’s one dream and I got many more on my way to 50,000 points so uh just just trying my best to stay focused and keep the main thing the main thing because I know that I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t stay with my process when I did achieve success thanks thank you y have a good night Ed JJ said this was just an overall really good game for you guys what pleased you most whether it was offensively or defensively with this one tonight um you know we just stayed committed to what we were doing you know even though uh you know they got to a fast start in the third quarter um we kind of just stayed together and was able to comat their run with our own um you know DLo got hot ruy played phenomenal um you we just was able to um kind of get back to Laker basketball and was able to get the win you’ve played so many games with LeBron but for this roster in the regular season to have to do it without him for the first time and and ruy mentioned you got the news kind of right before the game to adjust on the Fly and be successful with it what was kind of the challenge you guys were able to face I mean next man up I mean you know that’s why you know we have a team you know other guys had to step up ruy stepped up DLo stepped up um you know God know how to step up when you know we had have a guy like Braun out um the guys took on a challenge tonight and you know um you know even though it was you know last last minute scratch um you know this what God prepared for and uh you know God got a chance you know some guys got a chance to come in play a little bit more minutes than they probably normally wouldn’t and um you know they they did what they were supposed to do did their job so it’s a team effort tonight can you look ahead now to to Friday and be like this could be a real reset for our season U to have these four days some some off some some prep time and and really try to get back to the team that you guys looked like a couple weeks ago yeah I mean you know we’ been having a lot of games and a lot of days um but now we get guys to get you know four days to kind of recover um we know we got guys out guys kind of banged up so you get time to to recover time to practice you know and kind of like you say reset and get ready for uh Minnesota you know which we owe um back in Minnesota so um but we’re going to use these days to to get better obviously and uh but also be smart with you know letting our bodies kind of heal and uh line it up for Friday you guys are 24 games into this season now do you think this group knows the the best way for it to play offense or is it still trying to figure out what old habits are going to work moving forward what new stuff we should integrate like I guess where you’re at in that process you think as a group no we know what we’re supposed to do offensively um we know where where we supposed to get to as far as our spots you know our running patterns uh offensive schemes um our plays uh we know all of that so um just about a matter of executing it you played about as much basketball as anyone in the world the last couple years including this summer could just four days between games how can that specifically benefit you getting some rest um you know banged out with a little bit of injuries and um things that’s bothering me so just kind of let that 4 days you know let my body heal um before we get ready to line up on Friday but uh I’ve never I think in my career had a stretch where we didn’t play for you know four days so uh it’s kind of new but um I know it’ be beneficial for us to kind of get back in the gym um you know get some time away from each other but then you know uh you know getting ready to work you know so we can go up in Minnesota and get a win defensively you guys have been switching more especially the last couple weeks tonight outside of I think some possessions against uh Simons you were in a drop more often just how did it feel out there making that adjustment drop tonight excuse me I wasn’t never going to drop tonight all right so you want to rephrase your question or what’s up you want to rephrase your question I mean I wasn’t even to drop what coverage were you in coverage I mean Anthony time if I’m in the drop Anthony Time Is Gonna Come off and Dot my eye off so I can’t be in the drop DeAndre Aiden was in a drop before he start bling a pick and roll [Music] you you had uh five block Shots tonight in the first half season High you kind of Define the defensive dominance of the team what kind of message you think that sends down to everybody on our team yeah um I mean they rely on me you know a lot defensively uh you know being up into the ball and it’s my job to protect the paint um so I just that’s what I tried to do tonight um obviously it’s contagious and you know you come and get Cam DLo all these guys you know um start guarding um getting Steals and I think just helps our our team especially when we aren able to score we go through a stretch you know where we can’t score the basketball um we get rely on our defense so you know I just want to bring that intensity and that pressure and uh have the guys follow do you do you spend time and energy trying to figure out why um maybe the first 10 12 games of of the Season you guys um were clicking and offense was where it was at versus why there was a drop off do you do you even concern your yourself with the wire do you sometimes uh we talk about it uh as a group but I mean we don’t have time to you know dwell on it you know we got to play another game so uh you know when we have time off we talk about it and try to look at you know how we played those games um ball movement body movement um screening like all those things what we were really good at in early on in the season and uh know we just slippers there obviously guys in and out of lineup and um you know our a lot of it comes from you know a drop in our defense uh just being so terrible at defense and now you know kind of affects your offense because you know everybody try to do the right thing and you know make a play you know for themselves or others um but you know we just wasn’t organized you know in that stretch so um that’s why we dropped off but I mean the last two games tonight in you know uh against Atlanta uh we’re organized we running our sets um you know we’re screening well uh guys was you know getting shots that we had got in the first couple games uh in the season so um it’s not rocket science you know we just got to continue to play how we how we’ve been playing the last couple games and we be all right
