Kevin Porter Jr. Postgame Press Conference | 04.27.25

Hey Kevin. Um I mean it was just a couple days ago we were asking all you guys you two about just the impact Dame has had in his return. Um and then just to see that type injury and that that manner. Um just how deflating or heartbreaking is was that is that um for you guys to experience in the moment and you know even going back and seeing him and and talking with him. Um yeah man. And I mean, um, 1 through 15, you never want to see one of your brothers, uh, go down, but like you said, um, you know, Dame’s one of them, one of them special ones. And, um, he’s very much needed, very much impactful in every way. And, um, seeing him go down and, uh, not be able to return is definitely, um, is definitely, you know, defeating as a brother. um seeing his seeing his um his work getting back from you know his first injury that he just came back from and then you know the game guys um told him that you know he has another he has another you know journey but he’s a warrior though so hopefully you know it’s not nothing and um he can you know come back fast um you know docu that’s that’s a tough one you know an injury that like that was deflating he’s like you could feel it within the deep. Yeah. Yeah. It’s tough, man. Um like like I said, like the the impact, how much he means to us. Um it goes unnoticed. So like seeing him, you know, seeing him work and grind just to to, you know, go back out there and play with us that and then to have something like that happen is unfortunate. Um it is defe Yeah. is uh defeating for sure. Sorry. Um how on court it looked like you were aggressive then afterward try to get I mean the crowd trying to get involved um yourself involved I guess in that sort of moment when the team is leaning on you did you kind of feel that to a degree of like okay the game has to go on so what what can I do to to re-energize the the team? Yeah, it’s the, you know, this business is um a business of the next man up. So when things happen, you know, you got to look at what you got and figure it out. And um you know, just him being out um the games that he were he was out, you know, I had to take the bigger role. And um you know, as soon as he as soon as that play happened, um I already know, you know, I got to step up now. Um I got to elevate everything. And um that’s what I try to do, you know, just give uh give a lot of energy, you know, any way I can and keep the team high high spirited. Um I guess just kind of when you see him sitting down there, like just where where does your like mind go um as you’re trying to I guess think about what’s next or or maybe just seeing him there? Uh Dame. Um, like I said, Dame, uh, personally, Dame means a lot to me. So, you know, I was I was one of those high schoolers that got the luxury of meeting him very early. Um, and since then, like, he’s always praised he praised me as a as a basketball player and not just that, but as a as a young um, man growing up and, you know, so yeah, man. Uh, you know, I’m going to check on him after this, but like it’s it’s defeating for sure. Uh, I guess just when you guys look at what maybe happened defensively tonight, how do you feel like you can try to get it going back in the right direction like you had in game three? Yeah. Um, we just got to be we got to be, you know, stay true to our identity. Um, we’re a physical team. you know, when we play defense, um, and attack them, you know, when they’re trying to drive, attack the ball, um, it’s night and day for us. So, we just got to keep, um, keep believing who we are. And, um, look, if any team can come back from 3-1, it’s this team. So, um, we’re all believing that, you know, this is definitely far from over. Um, and then as far as like the extra effort plays, where do you see your team being able to uh I guess stack on to those in game five, especially on the road? Um, like I said, um, that’s just making the extra effort is something you got to do. You you got to, you know, want to do it um each and every time. And we’re desperate right now. So, uh, we going to do it for sure, game five. Um, but uh we’re gonna watch film and uh we’re gonna see the extra efforts that we need to that we need to, you know, do and then hopefully game five, you know, we correct them. Appreciate you guys.

  1. This guy was nervous the first few playoff games, but I know he can come through like tonight. Play him!

    Now, for some reality:
    The Bucks have ELEVEN 11 ELEVEN 11 ELEVEN coaches!!!! And, we can't get past the 1st round of the playoffs with the best talent in the world??? FIRE. THEM. ALL.

    Too many cooks in the kitchen. Let's trade all of them for the Indiana coach.

  4. Thank you for your efforts to try and save this game. When no one else was stepping up in the first half you did. It just wasn't enough support to come back.

  7. Doc is loser of a coach because he should have realized that Dame wasn't involve in the 8 game winning streak…if he don't have a back up plan then it speaks to his loser mentality.

  9. No one steps in front of Nesmith I repeat no one steps in front of Nesmith. He needs any of you peripherally in either front of him or it's a wrist raising measurement. If for shite sho is I can't talk in the morning for all that screaming and yelling I did at the game tonight I'm coming back hoppin on all y'all arse. Giannis to lil Gervonta and Jericho braid yo darn hair. Andre crouch again like this just practice imma tell Taurean buckle your darn knees in practice. 😃😂😃😑 So what they put you in when they tossed in the towel. To me that's street ball time tf. Thanalysis knew that. You need to put Kyle in when you throw the towel in since he need inferiority boosts to shoot. Cause how you hitting in half time Brody that square arse 3,4-5ft 90° to the right lone soldiering you feel does not belong to you because someone doesn't want you somewhere. Dumb ass every mf there reppin both sides didn't want a mf there irregardless to the game did that stop them from showing up and showing out for what they paid to come to see my jaime cause I'm now talking about anybody who had a problem and didn't think to care that someone else had a perviewable thought of the same damn thang toward them. Scuse my French YouTube, but no it didn't. So shite come in pissed if you need to. He'll get aggravated before you even touch down if that's the case. Green and Gary 😑🫣 if you need to let Coach know you need traffic directing flat out permissions then that's what's it is. Call it sub captaining for all I care. But they kept y'all busy and or apart for a reason so have us make them busy. They had no problem doubling up on us but y'all playing number tag my bombastic side to (all y'all.) Ryan RyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa N. Be like paper. It's either be like paper or or or hear me out. Guard with your shoulders I know they bigger than you and any effort getting down with the get down or a grip of a bmi of an opponent period (refs y'all suck……… like………. we……… said.) is seeming like a fouling action. See the split seconds between them considering you light weight and you frenzying with weight rpi or rams per haptic impact distribution. You ever thumped a pussycat on an xxx magazine and broke the paper…. No me either 😂😂😂😂 but be one with the paper make them getting you off they arse with that elbow passed deniable foulin will have to be impossible to miss. I'm not saying lean into them either I'm saying play in outland feet boxing mixed with defense so box and then box again but only a half a portion and theeeen give .5 of yes 1/4 do not start thinking thirds let its fixation be your unease until you're comfortable and then you are instructed to deep horse stance for as your cognitions think it's stupid or simply bewildering to use the avenue. . Pat you know that signature back run. Use it. Taurean get you some barrels.

  10. KPJ is a baller! He makes mistakes going to the rim sometimes getting caught in awkward positions but a lot of that is coaching and culture. His teammates are never in position to help him out when the help comes. A lot of teams just sit around at the three nowadays cutting is a lost art 🤦‍♂️
