POSTGAME SOUND: MAGIC VS. WARRIORS | COACH MOSE, PAOLO BANCHERO & FRANZ WAGNER



POSTGAME SOUND: MAGIC VS. WARRIORS | COACH MOSE, PAOLO BANCHERO & FRANZ WAGNER

Coach as you look at this one tonight what did you see as the difference in the second half for the Warriors I think there was a big portion of our timely turnovers uh that led to some big time runs for them we had it at

Six a few times uh we turned it over they came up with a lot of those 50 50 hustle plays shots at the end of the shot clock um but again our guys will and they’re fight to stay poised down the stretch I was very proud of but you

Have to give Golden State a a ton of credit for how hard they played and they have an elite shot maker and Hall of Fame player and you know Steph Curry and that’s that’s what we got yeah you touched on it a little bit there but you know turnovers can have different impact

Against you know different teams but against this team how much can they they really impact the outcome of well it energized them you know it went from a six to a nine quickly uh and and I think those are things that you know we have

To be smarter and and better for for but again to their credit they did turn us over at at the at the most inopportune time for us but it fueled their break uh allowed the crowd to get into the game a little bit more but you know our guys

Kept a level of poise that we continue to ask them to do as we grow and move forward with this and um but you got to give Golden State a ton of credit for the way in which they played you know when you when you look at the shots

Tonight did did you like the look your group was getting and you know obviously they can make shooting disparity you know look a lot different yeah you know I think we got a lot of Great Looks um I would our guys stepped into their shots with confidence which is what we want

Them to continue to do I thought we did a fantastic job getting to the basket you know and a lot of there were a lot of hands and we just have to learn how to play through and not worry about whether we get the call or not we just

Have to continue to play through but I love the way in which we attack the basket you know when you look at fron and Pao it seems like every night they’re they’re having a a big night or strong performances over this stretch you know how much do you continue to be

Impressed by the way that they impact the game regardless of whether or not shots are going in I’ll keep saying it that’s why they are both Allstars to me they they are trying to make those around them better uh they show up the right way trying to play the right way

Each and every single night knowing that the defenses are tilted towards them and they continue to play trying to make their teammates better as well and then they’re you know they’re they’re playing as hard as they can on both ends which is what we’ve asked each individual on this team to

Do and then when you look at to to tomorrow night’s matchup you know just how much is another opportunity for your group to continue to grow as you prepared for the king no Dan it’s a great opportunity and this is a great team that we just played tonight to be

Able to use the same formula they have a lot of the same things going with them the speed the pace of the game the offensive rebounding the three-point shooting all of those things are lessons we can take from tonight to have to be able to carry over for tomorrow I think

Uh just some stuff didn’t go our way I thought we fought really hard uh played together um you know they made some shots we missed some shots uh some calls went their way some calls didn’t go our way so you know sometimes it’s just how it goes you know turnovers against

Different teams can mean different things but you know how much does a team like that make you you pay when you turn the ball over yeah I mean you know they got some guys over there who uh you know you can’t just give them extra opportunities um because they’ll

Take advantage and uh that’s what happened tonight so you know we just got to take it learn from it and uh you know we got to play another good team tomorrow so we got to be ready against that team that there can be shooting disparities did you like the

The looks that you guys were getting overall man I mean I don’t know how many In-N-Outs we shot tonight but if I know I shot like four um I know a couple other guys guys did so you know that’s tough um cuz those are good looks those

Are good shots that are right there about to go in and uh you know sometimes that’s just how it works out so uh you can’t get discouraged you got to keep shooting you know um cuz I mean those are all great shots you know pal we

Didn’t have the chance to ask you this after the other night’s game but when you hear guys like KD and and Brad Beal speak very highly as as they did of you and and frons after the game in Phoenix your coach constantly pushing you for you for Allstar you know just what what

Do those comments mean for you uh they mean a lot you know just gaining respect from your peers uh you know you we like to see that like to hear that uh it’s just a testament you know to the work that we do um and you

Know how we how we play together and uh how hard we play um you know Brad KD rest of those guys you know they they’ve done stuff that that we want to do and you know those guys are well established in the league so you know we’re the next

Next we’re the future you know we’re coming up so uh you know getting their stamp is is always great you’ll have another contest against a team who plays in a similar fashion tomorrow in Sacramento just how much can you take the lessons from tonight and applying to

That match up tomorrow yeah I think turnovers is going to be a big thing taking care of the ball you know not giving them transition opportunities is going to be huge you know they get out run they really shoot the ball so you know I think take care of the ball um

And then you know just doing what we do attacking the paint um defending you know obviously they got a lot of weapons so uh it’s going to be a challenge but you know I’m looking forward to it and I’m excited France as you look at tonight’s contest what did you see as

The difference for the outcome um I thought it was just the fourth quarter and a little bit of the third um for the most part we did a solid job of Defending three-point line obviously Steph super hard to guard hit a hit a couple tough ones but um I think at the end

They got a couple back cuts um I think overall in the game we probably had too many turnovers I haven’t looked at the the stats or anything like that but um yeah against good teams that’s those are those are the small small things that that’ll yeah be the game you you touched

On a little bit there but turnover against different teams can mean different things how much do they as a team can really make you pay for for giving the ball away yeah um yeah they’re super tough to guard in transition obviously trying to find uh all their Shooters um and they got guys

That know how to play and and cut and play off of that so um that’s even harder in transition then in a half court so not just turnovers but also bad shots but honestly for the most part I thought we played uh yeah a solid game

Like I said a couple areas that we got to improve on you you know a lot of times when teams play them they is a shooting disparity but did you like the looks that that you guys were were getting as a as a group yeah I think uh that’s what I’m

Saying I think it’s sometimes tough to know you look back on the game you feel like stuff isn’t working but I think I think over over last couple games we’re getting good looks and we’re getting the looks that we we’re trying to take so uh

We just got to stay with it and like I said clean up some of those turnovers and um I think that that would be make a huge difference you prep for a Sacramento team tomorrow that you know plays in in a similar fashion how much can you take the lessons from tonight

And apply them to Sacramento yeah very similar obviously uh super fast pace a lot of shooting a lot of offb screening so um it’ll be same uh same type of effort require tomorrow um mentally and physically I think it’s it’s tough to play guys like that so um we got to be ready

Tomorrow

  1. I'm not even mad at the lose. I'm mad that this Fo ain't going to makes the team better. They keep baby sitting the same injuries players (markelle and ji) and the east is a tight race. Pacers, knicks, heat not going away. And FO going to mess around and waste this season with two players avging over 20 points. @orlandomagic

  2. Pass the ball and make ut tough on the opponents the balls slows and stay in one person hands too long …for orlando to win Cole got to be more involved offensively can't be franz dribbling all game that style of play gets fugure out you score alot but not in crunch time and they play hard but they don't play together for the past month or after the win streak was over the ball haven't been moving and Franz jus playing for himself nobody cutting jus one on one no outlet passes to keep defense on there heels or disorganized just too much dribbling that's why the team losing no cuts for easy buckets

  3. Its painful to me to see and hear literally EVERY single Magic fan i know say the same fucking thing over and over. WE NEED A SHOOTER to space the floor. Paulo and Franz are scoring 45-50pts a game. We shouldnt be losing games like this
