PRACTICE SOUND: FRANZ WAGNER 2.23.24

Really good performance last time we were here in Detroit what is it about just how you were playing what were you feeling in the groove and what do you hope to accomplish for Saturday’s game as well um I thought I just remember getting in the paint um getting some

Good looks out of the pick and roll and out of out of some drives uh I think the most important thing for tomorrow is just continue to move the ball and just uh yeah keep working on the stuff that we’ve were talking about it seems like once you’ve gotten back from your injury

You have been really finding your movement and your groove and really seeing those shots go down when did you notice that tweak kind of happened and when did you start to realize all right this is what’s been feeling good this is how I can try to continue to keep it

Going I think just uh obviously after injury always takes a little bit to find some Rhythm so um just finding that a little bit and then I think as we just continue to get better and uh play more games together we kind of everybody kind of finds their own um yeah spots within

The game where you know you going into the game you kind of know where you’re going to get some shots from coach was asked yesterday about the goals that this team has and if you guys are continuing to reach those goals and if you guys have to tweak them have you

Noticed that the goals have changed a little bit just in a good way but just maybe locking in a little bit more the intensity of you know what you guys are trying to accomplish yeah I think uh you know playoffs are very realistic for us

So um this time of the year every game uh is really important and um looking at the schedule a lot of teams are uh their records are really similar so we got to make sure that we you know not just win games but continue to get better so

We’re ready for the postseason you hear that you guys have a really good schedule an easy schedule coming up but how do you maintain that intensity during practice to not let up well I don’t really look at it like that honestly um know it’s the NBA you got to

Be ready uh for every game no matter the opponent and like I said um every game is really important for us so we got to make sure that we come out ready your second unit had had a really good night last night that’s not a one-off occurrence what is it about that

Second grouping that allows them to have performances like they did yesterday yeah I think they they have a good Groove uh multiple ball handlers um and I think the players just fit really well together um offensively and defensively honestly and uh yeah like you said I

Think a huge huge part of our win last night you know they have some physical bigs over there your brother matched their physicality and kind of took it to him in a way what was it about the the way he was playing last night that allowed him to have such success yeah I

Think uh took the right shots at the right time and just played the right way and uh like you said I thought it was physicality in the paint uh against some big dudes like Jared Allen and Evan Moy um was really impressive and we need that tomorrow again
