LIVE: Pelicans at 76ers Pregame w/ Willie Green 3/8/2024

Hey how’s everybody what’s up welcome back how does it feel to be back in your own stopping ground so to speak it feels great uh a lot of fun memories here familiar faces that I get a chance to see and uh brings back a ton of good memories speaking of faces they

Are down several bodies however Kelly UB Tobias Harris give us your scouting report of the weapons they do have available yeah I mean you you’re saying it you know add KY Lowry to this group uh Tobias is stepping up more you know taking on a bigger role UB is coming in

Hitting shots they’s still a team that’s going to play hard they they have pride and they’re going to play together and and you know any NBA game uh when you step on the floor you have to step on the floor and have a you know a respect for your opponent

Mentality how much can you draw from the last couple years with just 20 games left knowing that you know you’ve been in these situations where every game is important uh or do you think this is a completely different situation this season it’s the same the last 20 games it’s going to be

A tight race to the end uh in the west east so you know there’s probably 12 13 teams that feel like they got a chance to be in the play-in playoffs so those games are going to come down to you know execution there you can feel it it’s it’s it’s a higher

Level of intensity already and uh we expect nothing less her made five more threes in in Toronto um you know it just seems like he’s getting them off really quickly is that how you know when someone’s in a like a good place mentally shooting the ball and you just

Tell they’re not thinking about it all they’re just kind of letting it go for sure you we all feel like it’s going in when he shoots him and it’s it’s great to see her play with that type of confidence and you know the rest of the guys are looking for him when he’s

Open and uh Trey mentioned while he was going through that little shooting SL a focus was him for him was you know hitting the boards more you know moving the ball just trying to do other things to contribute how important was that to see him kind of take that next step in

His game to realize he can do other things other than just shoot that’s extremely important I think you know that was one of our messages uh one of our talks was that there’s so many ways that you can impact winning and if you take your focus off of just your shot

And focus on defense rebounding the ball you know diving on the floor for loose balls um it’ll come but you know the ball usually finds energy and when you play with that type of energy it leads to you making shots but I thought he he

Did a great job of you know taking his Focus off the shots that he was missing and just kind of falling in love with the the process of the game and competing for those of us who haven’t seen him every day I guess that where you kind of

See the growth of Jordan Hawkins from beginning of season up until now you know he he’s his confidence has always been there um from the start of the Season until now and he’s he’s learning how to be a pro um taking care of his body getting his lifting in

Eating the right way you know how much to work out uh on the floor how much time does he need to rest and recover but uh he he’s he’s been a a joy to be around he’s another High character guy that comes in every day with a mentality

To get better uh and I think he has a bright future all right thank you
