Cole Anthony on work ethic criticism, Magic’s future and predictions for UNC | NBA on ESPN

Very much David Cole you guys did your work there in the first half up by 41 what was the mentality obviously you guys wanted to put him away early um you know first half was really good second half was eh I mean we we we started taking it for granted having his

Lead and that’s why they cut it down back to 20 and I mean I could have been a lot better in that second half too you know we um ball kind of got stagnant and you know they wanted a run and they were able to win this second half so I think

For us we got got to clean that up and you know instead of letting it get to 20 put that joint up to 60 why not you know what I’m saying absolutely how about your performance here tonight 19 in the first half you finished with 21 you

Talked to us in right before half about the work you’ve been putting in so tell us about the work you’ve been you start come through I’m always type of D going to do is Du diligence I’m always put that work in and you know someone told me recently didn’t think I was going

Hard enough in the gym so I had to get there a little more but um yeah n you know it was only it was R it was it was it was a matter of time before you know that joint start going through the rim again so you know shout out to God uh

Shout out to that ball shout out to that basket you know what I’m saying absolutely how about what you guys have done lately you guys seem to be on a mission what can you accomplish here at the final 13 games Cole what is the mindset right now um for us I mean we

Want to finish out this uh regular season as strong as we can win as every wi every game wi it win as many games as we can and not take any game for granted so you know I think um we’re doing that right now and um you know not uh looking

At the team in front of us and you know looking at the record and thinking oh man this is going to be a cakewalk but you know respecting every opponent cuz every every team in this league can play so we just do that we going to be all

Right what’s been the biggest key with that cuz 26 and9 now against teams under 500 you have respected every opponent you’ve played this year yeah and I think we just got to continue to do that I mean I think you know we’re a real uh

You know uh I don’t know how to describe it we’re a real funloving team you know what I’m saying but um you know when it comes down to it we we take the game seriously everyone here puts in their individual work we put in our our work

As a team and so we continue we going to continue to do that and you know just make this push for as long as we can and we going to be eyes you’re the first magic player to use due diligence in a walk-off so that’s impressive took the

SAT once you know had to throw a little SAT words or something is that two you know I took the SAT only one time so all right lad something nice out there you know what I’m saying we know you got a good vocabulary yeah you know I’ve
