NBA Gametime reacts to Orlando Magic beat Washington Wizards 119-109 to win 5th streak; Wagner 28 Pt
First quarter and a half make the comeback win and they win by 10 points Big Time comeback you can’t lose to the to the bullets I’m Excuse me the Wizards oh look at you look at you that’s sliit fron vogner on nine and 15 from the
Field 28 points pal ban Carroll with 20 Washington Wizards let’s bring in Jaylen Suggs right now chatting a little bit more about this game how you doing we’re excited to have you on the show thank you so much for taking the time I want to get into your team for a
Second because since January 31st you guys are 13 and three what’s been working so well over this last 5 weeks or so for you guys as a team oh we can’t hear him right now a little bit of technical difficulties going on but we’re going to get that I
Don’t know beautiful thing about live TV you know what I mean he had great things to say by the way want to make sure oh yeah seriously great things to say no but the Orlando Magic really have been coming together this season there are young young team but they’re fourth in
The Eastern Conference right now or fifth in the Eastern Conference right now they’re really making a push um for this postseason and it’s going to be fun to see what they’re going to be able to do 13 and three since January 31st let’s try try to bring him back in again why
Not Jaylen sugs can you hear us now hear me yes we can hear you let’s go the beautiful first time on N has to go wrong first time on NBA TV has to go oh my gosh I love it first time on NBA TV we can’t make it go without you know a
Little something here or there going on but I want to get back into that question because the last five weeks have been phenomenal for you guys I mean the whole season has been but the last five weeks in particular only three losses what’s worked so well for you
Guys as a team uh I think we’ve done a great job in playing to our standard regardless of the night how we’re feeling who we’re playing uh playing to our standard and doing the things um you know that we all committed to at the beginning of the season um you know and
That’s sharing the ball making the right play uh defensive intensity and uh and doing the little things and we’ve been doing those things throughout this stretch uh guys are playing well we’re talking uh we’re very we’re very competitive right now um you know as we going down this last stretch so it’s
Been fun it’s been fun you know Jaylen one thing I like about your game is how you’ve taken over leadership of this team’s defense uh only two teams are uh averaging fewer uh points per game than you guys and you’re only holding opponents to 40% shooting uh can you
Explain how your teammates have bought into that concept um I think doing anything to win honestly um I think in in basketball defense take care of itself you can have a off night um and still bring defensive intensity and be a lead on that end um
And I think when we focus on that uh night in and night out and let the offense take care of itself you know as we play together play with flow and and play within our Rhythm um you know good things happen for us uh you know guys
Are rotating we’re talking um you know even when we have lapses I feel like we do a great job and bouncing back and not letting shots affect that side of the that side of the game so um I think a lot of credit goes to everybody you know from bigs guards Wings everybody’s
Defending at a high level right now and it’s sh speaking of a high level when you have frons and Paulo playing the way they playing how tough is it for you guards to be ready to knock down shots on the weak side of the floor because those guys are so
Unselfish um it’s great having two guys like that who cause such a such a problem that you know we get wide open set feet threes I don’t think you can ask for anything more uh you know from your wings uh you know that you’re playing with you know to get you wide
Open looks and they do a great job of being aggressive um you know getting great looks for themselves and then creating problems for others and then you know we got to continue to do a better job and not only knocking down shots but keeping that Advantage has
Been someone talking about you know so uh but they’re doing great they’re playing at a high level um it’s great to not only watch them play with them but learn from them uh you know day in and day out so I know you guys are one of
The youngest teams right now in the NBA well the postseason is coming up in about five weeks you guys are getting set to hopefully go on a long postseason run just not having maybe as much postseason experience what gives you guys the confidence to be able to play
Together the way that you do and know that you can make a run at this thing uh not only trusting in each other but all all of us have played at a really high level you know now not at the NBA you know none of us have or not a lot of us
Have had a playoff experience there but you know Joe and and Gary have done a great job I think in sharing that knowledge and you know letting letting us know what’s that like and bringing that intensity and that Focus uh to to everybody in the group and then all of
Us have played high level basketball you know I don’t think that’s anything new for all of us um so continuing to trust each other play with confidence play with that swag um and understand that you know everything will take care of itself as long as we do what we’re doing
Play into our standard um and controlling the controllables that we can um you know everything else will work out in his favor I absolutely love that answer so much and last but not least today is a national holiday for all of those who celebrate it’s Shaq’s
52nd birthday I know you guys got to watch him get his jersey retired a couple weeks ago but you got any words for Shaq on his birthday today happy birthday big diesel come on back to the city man for this stretch room Jaylen we so appreciate you coming
On thank you for taking the time first time on NBA TV I love it glad to strer man Str back that’s what happens you keep balling you come hang out with us yes sir I like this I like it on this here you go thanks so much shooting
Pretty well in the night the Cleveland Cavaliers trying to get that double dip win on backto back nights Boston Celtics last night looking for the Atlanta Hawks tonight we welcome you back here into the NBA TV studios Lauren Jabar Shan pow Dennis Scott guys you look at a team
Like the Cleveland Cavaliers I know we talk a lot about how they’re kind of sneaky but again you look at it in context are they a top four five team right now in the Eastern Conference to you uh absolutely top four team for sure I think with them is they’ve got to find
Other sources of scoring you don’t have Donovan Mitchell right now uh there um in a game like this you know they don’t even have 100 points yet so they’re struggling a little bit um but we haven’t seen this team whole yet all season you know Mitchell’s been out
Garland’s been out Mo’s out right now yeah once they become whole I think we’ll see the real K Cavaliers do we believe when Cleveland gets into the second round cuz they should get out of there the first round how they felt or should I say how they fared last year
Against New York then you say to yourself Donovan Mitchell are you ready to be in that conversation with jayen brown Tatum Giannis Drew holiday you know porzingis because those are the guys we talk about being the top of the East I think that’s the biggest question when we look at Cleveland to your
Question yeah they’re top four they’ve shown during the regular season where they’re supposed to be but there’s not that wild fact where you’re saying yes this guy’s going to help this team get to the Eastern Conference Final I think that’s the back with Cleveland yeah they
Need to find that guy to have them maybe push them is Donan that guy is the question I feel like he can be that guy I think so I think so I think so too I mean we’ve seen him take over games remember him in the bubble he had that
Shootout with the Denver Nuggets so I think we’ve seen him in that position the thing is when he gets those double teams and when teams can game plan against him in the best of seven series not playing anybody else who’s going to be that player is going to step up is it
Going to be Garland and I Wonder has Garland been as comfortable playing next to Donovan Mitchell as he was when he didn’t have Donovan Mitchell when he was a guy he was the first option he had the ball and sometimes I think they kind of struggle to coexist particularly in the
Fourth quar quarter when Don Mitchell he’s not passing that ball 3D he wants to take over right yeah it’ll be interesting to see how it all plays out we got about four or five weeks left in the regular season which is crazy another team right now for foree spee quno quno spee fore
