Jose Alvarado on win over Mavericks | Pelicans-Mavericks Postgame Interview 1/13/2024

Deep yeah but I I honestly uh told I think the whole locker and everybody we was going to win today um just because I you know this is one of the games you know not look past it but you know it’s tough to win obviously where now three

Our Stars out scores and everything but I really wanted to put in everybody mind that we was going to win today cuz I really that’s how I felt waking up even though I know it was going to be a tough game yeah yeah yeah it was good really

Good you said uh during the postgame interview to HW not your average rookie what’s your analysis of him I mean I think every 15 player whoever did it um postgame interview came in and said our roster is really you know what it is it’s some we got some dogs we got some

Guys that really could play and unfortunately we got 15 of them so um we can’t play 15 and um he’s not an average Rie I think we’ve been new that I think we’ve been seeing it and today you know opportunity meet you know what Co opportunity meets preparations there we

Go so he did it he did what he’s supposed to do and more you already year about the struggles of being a young guy trying to stay prepared when you’re not sure about your play time just what have you seen from Hulk and just his ability to to come in and be productive

Regardless of you know what his playing time looks like for night tonight uh I mean he’s a little different from my situation in the he’s just mentally he’s there like no matter what and obviously we we don’t like it or whatever situation he he’s in you know he want

You know he knows he could hoop but we respect what’s going on we know um how good we are and we just got to um wait our turn and I think that’s the case we just when the turn comes we take advantage of it it’s something similar

Like um the Miami team that went deep in the playoff you know um guys didn’t play all year round and then all of a sudden step up and have a care career high like this and you know that’s something similar and we know that I think we know

That overall as as a team and we just ready you know one night you know it might not be my night and the next night you know I might be that it might be my night so I think we we prepared for that just what to seeing a rookie with that

Much confidence on offens to score way he does I mean if you know Hawk he’s confident he he he knows he’s a he’s a Hooper he knows that and to be that good as a shooter player you got to be like that and I it’s not it’s not shocking to

Me what do you think about J’s consistency oh man he don’t miss games I don’t even think I remember the last time he missed a game you know um that big fell going to play through everything so uh we appreciate he’s on our side if the four folks that didn’t play

Tonight do play on Monday how much of the competitive Advantage could could that be for y’all given the MS wouldn’t have just seen them like you’ve just seen their starters I mean we just uh that’s that’s you know they got to do what they got to do um we we did our

Part today and then they going to come in and they going to do their part and we going to go home with another win that’s the goal you know um this is a good team they’re going to watch film and they’re going to come back and you

Know say that they want to beat us as you know as bad as we want to beat them on their own court so it’s going to be tough it’s going to be fun through some ups and downs last year with did three-point shot just trying to

Get it right and you talked a lot about how important that is for your game just just where are you right now just being able to make those shots consistently I mean you know um they’re going to double players you know we got to make shots so that’s something I really focus on

Um uh I need to make open shots you know and that’s my goal whatever I’m at you know um and I practice so hard so I know I could shoot you know you know that you know like that video yes I could shoot that’s who I’m be regardless of what I

Am you want to talk about like your maturation process you’ve been able to I think it was in the fourth quarter you slowed it down a little bit you gave it to JV you switch for hwk so he’s the first pass out I mean in a game like

This where your four starters are out balls in your hands don’t you feel like you’re the guy that has to put everybody in the right I mean I I think they trust me with that and that’s something I wanted to improve in them I think I did

I did a dumb play in Denver I think it was a two for one and I think I missed the layup um so I got to be smarter something I just got to realize during the process of the game and pro G Pro process the game in my head and see

What’s going on and we I knew we was going to JV and they doubling so let’s put a hotest shooter right now and into that double and that’s what we kept doing and then you know when the situation was coming I needed to put that that puzzle you know the puzzle together
