Jamal Murray After Dropping 37 Against the Pistons



Jamal Murray After Dropping 37 Against the Pistons

Uh I mean I think everybody play well just getting everybody involved you know um when you got Shooters out there like you know P shooting well um CB shooting with confidence you know you can’t leave kcp for too long um Mike out there so you know having shoes around like that

Helps and uh create some space for me to knock it down 16 assists for Joker tonight only four points he uh have you ever seen a center do that do what four points and 16 assists five Bo to that’s unusual stat line I don’t know I have to ask him I thank

You sorry if you touched on this earlier in your career but when did you develop that kind of mid post back to the basket game oh well I mean I grew up playing I was tall than everybody so I grew up playing the five so know my dad and I we

Worked uh in and then out um so the hook jump hooks um left hand right hand that’s where I developed that touch and then um just kind of moved my way out so anything we did with the right hand we did with the left and

Uh just kind of work our way out but I’ve always had to you know I feel for I feel for the footwork or you know where the weight is um on my body and um being able to man manipulate them or you know have them have to recover to jump

You just kind just playing the game down there and uh obviously watching everybody before me um all the greats I do a lot of studying I watch a lot of full workk I slow the tape down and rewatch so um constantly just trying to get better and improve my game down

There are talking about like MJ and Kobe were the other guys oh yeah lots no Lots um I mean you want me name them I mean those were the yeah you’re right yeah good job you’re right yeah no I mean Kobe um Keem Dirk um I’m trying to think of the the ones

That you know not the the obvious ones I used to watch Andre Miller um yeah see you know what I’m saying uh there’s another guy I don’t want to I don’t want to miss him but I’m going to how how much do you have to work on that

During your offseason for it to continue to feel natural like oh it’s it’s more natural than it ever was you know especially coming off the rehab um just you know playing a slightly slower slower step um so just kind of getting to my spot being able to get there and and obviously I

Can I have a lot of moves on there so um I like to you know have the opportunity to not just know go to my turn R fade you know be able to get to the rim try to draw a foul um you know spin drive or

Or look to kick whatever you know so I just try keep keep the defense off Balan coach was you know made the third quarter point of Denis you guys respond with your best quarter of the of the season I guess what right that quarter what you guys doing

Different uh I think we all as a team you know decided to get out there a little earlier and we we was in good spirits though no for real we was in good spirits and we just wanted to um hold ourselves accountable as well we have to

Rely on coaches to say something so I thought we did a good job just coming ready to play knowing that you know this team is they’re trying to win you know they they’re they’re playing hard as hell and uh we were able to just kind

Of uh get a run early he said that you were in the hallway telling guys we got to defend better in the second half coming out after the second quarter is that partially a response to the last two games when you give up 85 combined in those other quarters yeah for sure I

Just think we we just we could have played a lot better on the defense end and and the rebounding you know we knew we could score we knew we could uh create open shots uh we knew we could kind of go one-on-one um but it was it

Felt like a two-point game at the half I don’t know what it was but um that’s what it felt like and we just knew that we could hold ourselves to a higher standard and and take care of a business at home and try to get that number one

Seat when you’re driving in pick and roll with DJ versus with Joker just what are some of the not just differen is there but like like different things you’re trying to look for in those sets I don’t want to give all my tips away Ryan um maybe have the ball for a

Second longer U with DJ cuz he’s he’s holding the screen a little longer um where there’s a joke we’re more in the same line together um uh maybe try to snake a little more with I pick my with joke but I try to snake a little more with DJ um knowing

That he’ll roll behind it cuz he’s holding the screen um and then y can look to we week side you know normally the L is going to be in because his DJ um so I’m looking for the corner if he’s going to cut or not I wanted CB to cut today he didn’t

Um but yeah I mean it’s just it’s just slightly different I don’t think it’s you know I don’t try to make it too much of a difference he still trying to play the game and then and then put pressure on the low man and um have have to honor

DJ at The Rim Joker is obviously it’s going to be a pocket pass I’m not throwing it up how how impressed Have You Been by By Reggie and DJ’s pick and roll but both when you were out earlier in the season and and now yeah they’re really good um now Reggie’s been hooping

Man he he’s a really good finisher uh got the floaters Left Right hands um same leg other leg you know what it is so you know it puts a lot of pressure on the on the big to try to contain a good finisher and on top of that the rooll

Guy that’s jumping like DJ so um I think it’s been it’s been amazing for us and um also having that single side tag guy you know if it’s Julian or or me today it was me today um that also makes it a little diff go for them you play at this business teame

Twice this season I know they’ve been struggling but do they seem like a team that is supposed to be I guess of their record I didn’t play the first game um but I mean I don’t I don’t watch I’m sorry I don’t watch all the games um they’re not like yeah they’re no

They’re not a like Kate said they’re not two and 26 bad you know what I’m saying like they’re they hoop they they play hard um I think they had bogy up for a while right they had had uh some guys out so I mean maybe that played a part guys in

Another lineup um but yeah I I don’t I don’t have too much to say I don’t yeah Denver Nugget fan pton had 13 of his points in the third like he’s just growing rapidly just looks like just what what are you seeing from him behind the scenes just

How is he continuing to push himself to get better I think it’s less about the skill just more about the confidence you know I think he’s just playing confident just um finding uh where he can score where he can make an impact on the game um defending um even if he doesn’t get

Not getting the ball you know he knows he can be out there rebounding trying to block shots or just doing something else so um I think confidence and uh just and um having belief in a shot and belief in in what he can do on the court I think

Everything else would take care of your you know uh him a Christian too I think both of guys have grown tremendously um in a small amount of time so uh yeah Julian’s next how does the confidence click is it just like you get minutes eventually

It’s going to come with the Reps or I think it’s playing through mistakes I think that’s the biggest one when I was playing you know I could come in I played I didn’t play a lot my rookie here but um you know I could shoot but

It would could I play defense you know that was the question could I rebound and push you know was I um could I end games was I whatever whatever it was um so I think just you know getting the encouragement from the guys on the bench from the coaches you know watching and

Learning and being put in that situation again after making a mistake I think that helps a lot than
