Jamal Murray on Aaron Gordon’s Return + Ish Smith Ring Ceremony
It’s almost something you have to fight against just cuz you guys know it’s it probably is going to happen at some point um I think uh we got to focus on the first quarter you know coming out ready to play uh setting the tone you know not
Always being the ones that are hitting back um so that’s that’s in my opinion our Focus you know I’m saying so uh tonight we try to come out aggressive knowing that they came up BL us first at their place um they’re on a streak so they’re going to come out play
Aggressive ball game uh I thought we did a good job but you know we had some let Downs or just overh helping at times um they made some shots in the first half and I thought in the second half you know we were able to you know just
Buckle down defensively um play a little more aggressive um you know take the easy ones away from and kind of make him play in the half court and uh you know it showed we you know we took the game from there Jamal that last game in
Charlotte a couple weeks ago um sort of a similar pattern to this one except in the fourth quarter the leag that was built in the third Slipped Away pretty quickly the starters have to go back in and everything Michael just said it’s nice to be able to not bring the
Starters back in down the stretch what what did you Noti in the fourth quarter from from uh the guys out there during that stretch and and how much I wonder how many games I haven’t played in the fourth there’s been a few games um but I think no just great opportunity for
Other guys to to go out there and and and play aggressive trying to U not just trying to hold the lead but you know play our game so I think it’s good reps honestly for the young guys everybody out there um you know so I think those
Are learning moments you know it’s less about at that point it’s less about um winning the game and just trying to create good habits and uh like I said not playing to hold them off but playing the same way and um playing efficiently offensively and defensively so I thought
They did a good job and um they’re just playing free they went to the zone so they kind of mixed things up but other than that I think we do a good job were you uh were you trying to give ish the former team treatment there early in the
Game I think you attempted seven of the team’s first 10 shots no I was just playing I was just playing the game he went under the first screen um and then I think we did a post up a couple plays down I was just Man the game I’m not
Looking at like that but yeah he came is that part of jokic’s lack or shot attempts as part of it is that you you have the hot hand and and he’s always you have to ask him to no I’m just playing just curious if you caught up
With F at all about the night or just no um I think he went to dinner with uh some of the guys yesterday but um no we still have a group chat with everybody Bruce included so um no we’re we’re that that that championship team is connected forever so it’s just good
To um always stay in touch even if we don’t you know see each other every day all that it’s uh we’re not we’re not strangers to each other so it’s not ran you hear how often is that group actually St still active we s some funny
Stuff in there too so keep it like is that is that common like to have group chats or whatever with teams that you course yeah everybody has group chats like past ones included though I mean just cuz you got three we can’t talk does you ever answer those yeah we’re yeah kick
Him uh how nice was it to to have a back obviously I know guys were concerned about him what was what was it like to sort of get him back to practice and then then to get him back out there yeah it’s always good having him out there um
Just the energy on on the glass or catching lobs whatever it is playing defense you obviously he was trying to get his legs back T night been out for a while playing basketball so uh just like I said just him being around is good and um know he was embraced by the whole
Team um yeah we’ve had we’ had him since yesterday so was he in pretty good spirits while you and other guys were reaching out to him over the last few days yeah he was good man he was good felt like you’re welcoming back is by going out of repeatedly in the first
Quarter was that just part of the game plan or just something that no it was just just playing basketball you he was trying to shoot on me too was all good all right one more
