Tyler Herro when asked about Darius Garland’s comments about picking on weak defenders: “At the end of the day, it’s competitive. But somebody who doesn’t play defense shouldn’t be talking. He don’t play any defense.”
Asked Wednesday night what the key is to playing clean basketball and limiting turnovers against the Heat, Garland said: “Pick on Tyler Herro and take care of the ball. Don’t play in tight spaces and pick on their weak defenders.”
Herro was asked this as well: Is the type of the comment that Garland made inappropriate for a player to say about another player?
“It’s cool,” Herro said. “At the end of the day, it’s competitive. But somebody who doesn’t play defense shouldn’t be talking. He don’t play any defense. We’ll see that tomorrow. I have enough fuel in me, in this locker room, around the organization, in the building, I don’t need any fuel from that guy over there.”
