Jamal Murray on Patrick Beverley Trash Talk & Joel Embiid No Show

Sort of rattle I guess them their mentality going are you asking me or am I speaking for the team yeah yeah yeah what me uh no it doesn’t affect me no I just I mean I don’t care who who they got playing as long as I bring the right energy to the

Game U coach was talking about defense kind of being a little bit slow into into the game tonight just through three quarters you guys had let up 88 but only allowed 17 and the fourth was that just the right time to to turn it up or was

There uh yeah no we got to be better know throughout the game but I feel like we turned up at the right time and we’re able to to just dig this one out you know not all 82 games are going to be pretty so you know came off a tough loss

In New York tired and everything got you know a day half rest and um we’re able to get the win on our home floor so it was nice to have the A Team uh or Arena cheering for us for once coming from a perspective you’ve been in the league

For a while just going on these road trips where you’re on the road for four five six games what is it like coming back for the first home game specifically just because said is it tough is it is it easy is it just what was the circumstance like

Physically um like like I said it’s just fun to have uh the energy behind you you know instead of going against you so um we’re able to rally and use that your advantage and even you know when they made a run just time weather in the storm and um trying to get ourselves

Back on track so you know we we weren’t great on the def on one for three quarters and you know for the last 12 we’re able to pick it up and um do what we do Patrick Bly had some things to say after the game in Philadelphia did that Inspire your

Performance at all tonight um I mean you can say whatever you want brother I got film of it ja totally separate from today’s game after what you guys did last year going through the playoffs we did win in the title did you guys have any different approach to this regular season from a

Confidence standpoint or a self assuredness standpoint of knowing you’ve been able to get to the mountain top you are capable of doing it as you’ve gone through this 82 Game season and preparing for trying to do that again uh just a different type of um feel you got to use um you know

Obviously when you when when you don’t win it you know you’re trying to do everything possible to put yourself in that position and um you know you have a a different type of chip on your shoulder trying to prove something to everybody as a unit and you

Know this year it’s the same kind of thing you know just having understanding that um we’re we’re being hunted by every team no no matter where we go we’re going to get everybody’s best shot it feels like everybody’s shooting at a very high clip um so you know we just

Got to um I’d say be more alert to that you know like we we will have a slow start or whatever but um we don’t always want to be digging ourselves out of a hole or into a hole so it’s just it’s just a different I

Don’t even know the word for it um circumstances so you know we weren’t great tonight but you know we did enough to uh rely on our experience and um and the home crowd to get it done what’ you like about Payton’s game tonight just being aggressive and not

Overthinking um just doing a little bit of everything and um continuously just progressing um evolving learning um playing through mistakes um and he he wants to get better he wants to be that kind of guy for us so it makes it a lot easier when you have a

Guy that’s want to learn um and and take the criticism you know I can I can say whatever I want to say whatever I need to say to him um and he’ll take it in a positive way so um all our rookies not just him but uh I think he does a great

Job of um know blocking shots shooting the shots when he gets them now um stepping into a pullup after he you know all that all those little stuff you see um can be can be a big step in step in a rookie rookie right rookie confidence um

Yeah thank you and I a 82 yet so yeah um so yeah just little stuff like that coach was talking about how they switched up their coverages on you and put a little box some on you in the second half just uh first is that is

That a sign of respect for from from the opposing team and second just how does your mentality or or your approach change when the coverage is of like that yeah it’s tough you know me face guarded for 94 ft um so I just try to um work my way around it

Um but yeah I just I think um I could do a better job of finding a way to get open or um use myself as a decoy uh without taking myself out the game you know I don’t think I had too many shots shots in the second half but

Um you know what I’m saying I’m not going to force just playing around it and like I said there’s four other guys out there that you got to guard so I think we did a good job of handling as as a as a group Jamal I know you you do

Approach every game you know game by game but I know you guys set larger goals like Malone’s like this is going a tough 10 game stretch for us do you kind of look at hey these five games these three games I want to do this or that or

Is it really truly going into a game you’re focusing yeah for you how you for me is a dayto day you know obviously we can be exhausted from the road trip is I mean that’s self-explanatory but um yeah every day you just try to take that as a

New challenge and work yourself um up for that game as best you can so you all right there you good um yeah obviously I think as a coach you have a more broad view of minutes and who you want to play all that stuff so I understand where he’s

Coming from for me it’s just game to game um bringing that right energy and um not having no let UPS know so I think uh you know even when we’re doing something or we’ve had a tough stretch there’s ways to go around it and uh just attack the the

Problem all right thank you Jamal
