“They are a very young and athletic team. On what makes Memphis difficult to guard: “We just have to continue to play our game and do the things that got us to this point and finish the season out.” “I feel like they all kind of brought me in like I've been a part of the team the whole time, which was great seeing from afar. On who helped him get settled into the team: New Orleans Pelicans guard Jared Harper talks with the media following the Pelicans' game against the Memphis Grizzlies on April 9, 2022. I feel like we weren't locked in enough.” “We have to come out and watch film and just lock it better next time. But that's a whole lot of offensive rebounds. Steven gets a ton of rebounds he only had 11 today. You have to turn around and box out everybody. On dealing with Memphis’ size and some of the players they have: I saw it was Steven and I had to especially throw it down.” I just saw an open rim and tried to dunk it. “I don't know, you think Steven would know not to take a charge on me after playing with me for a year, but it's true. “I feel like it impacted the game pretty well. On Ja Morant’s impact being back tonight: They came out there aggressive and just kind of pressured us the whole game and it was hard for us to get anything going.” “I just felt like they were more ready than us today. New Orleans Pelicans center Jaxson Hayes talks with the media following the Pelicans' game against the Memphis Grizzlies on April 9, 2022. We just didn't have it tonight, didn't bring it tonight. That leads for us to play harder, play better and play more together. “Hopefully we don't want to feel like this again. On if the struggles tonight can be helpful in the Play-In tournament: We got to regroup and get back to the drawing board and just be a better team.” The whole game we need to be better, we know it, our guys know it in the locker room. “The whole game we could have been better. On the defensive struggles in the third quarter:
On Jonas Valanciunas’s foul trouble tonight: Tough night for CJ, tough night for me, tough night for our group. Anytime he was in ball screens, he had two or three people focused on him, and as a group, we just have to continue to trust. “They just they did a great job of being physical with him, trying to deny him the ball. This is not typically us, but tonight, we just had a letdown.” Anytime he touches the floor, he's on the floor with his teammates, it brings some juice for their group.
When you are playing again against a really good team and you allow them to do what they do, and they don't feel as physically then you're in for a long night and that's what happened.”
They're good team and the categories that we talked about - rebounding, transition baskets, keeping them out of the paint - they beat us in those categories. New Orleans Pelicans head coach Willie Green talks with the media following the Pelicans' game against the Memphis Grizzlies on April 9, 2022.
