Dennis Schroder admits Mike Budenholzer wants him to avoid trash talk
The Eastern Conference playoff series between the Atlanta Hawks and Washington Wizards has been a bit heated at times, with point guards John Wall and Dennis Schroder occasionally trading words.
Schroder admitted Saturday that if it were up to his coach, Mike Budenholzer, there’d be a lot less talking and a lot more emulating one of the league’s quieter superstars.
Dennis Schroder on trash talk in series: "Coach doesn’t want me to talk like that. He wants me to be like San Antonio and Kawhi Leonard."

It’s hard to blame Budenholzer for wanting to cut this stuff off, particularly when you consider the comments made recently by one of his other players. Wall is hard enough to stop with complete focus, and it can only get tougher if you start playing those games with him.
