“I’m trying to put the league on notice.” Malik Beasley Press Conference | 1.19.24

“I’m trying to put the league on notice.” Malik Beasley Press Conference | 1.19.24

So just kind of what was the emphasis either in film or in practice was it just sort of shwing back down into that and refocusing on ball movement and also yeah definitely um definitely the main focus the last two days in priorities have been the why did we get down that

Bad and why we’re not moving the ball and it came down a sh selection and also um you know um obviously we got to be better on defense but you know when yianis goes out we have to it’s it’s a different game you know um obviously

Going to put more pressure on um Dame and Chris so we got to learn how to um come up with new actions and that’s why you hear coach always yelling next action basketball and uh we gotten way better at that I think it’s been a great

Two days and you know we’re ready to move forward do you feel like that like snowballs at all like at the start of the game when it is starting to be sticky and you’re not you know moving the ball away can it snowball where it’s

Just like yeah it can snowball in in any type of way and good and bad um it could if it’s starting off stagnant and I’m not touching the ball everybody’s not touching the balls when you get it you kind of want to like I need to get some

Rhythm so you try to do something that you usually wouldn’t do and if the ball’s moving you know it’s contagious you get the ball and you got a open shot but the next guy next to you like I had a couple games ago I had a open shot but

Pass it the brook and got even a wide open our shot so uh it’s contagious either way you know we just got to take it the right way do it the right way after a game like that is it helpful to have a couple days off so you have some

Practice time or would you rather just be back on the floor uh no you need days like this cuz you know in a little bit our schedule gets hectic again so um to be able to sit back and you know be at home at least um

You know we could have went to Detroit we could have stayed in Cleveland but we came back here and um you know got rest and had two great practice days so we’re we’re excited to um get back on the road and and handle our business we see

Cleveland again in weeks so we’re you know we know we hold him one um Jaden Ivy has been put back in rotation the ball ball back in his hands I know it’s been a long time since you’ve seen Detroit last um I know he’s can be a

Dynamic player player what what kind of problem do you think he might might present for you because I know sometimes like the the point guards or shooting guards against you guys have had some big nights like what what do you I don’t know if you dove into him yet but what

Have you maybe seen or can he do oh I definitely dove into him already you know we had a couple days off so I watch film I watched the last couple games you know on NBA TV and stuff um he’s a great he’s fast first of all um pushes the

Pace he’s a onean fast break show so um also he likes to reject pick and rolls so anybody who likes to reject pick and Rose you know he knows the game well um you know his mom played too so it’s not like he doesn’t know the game at all um

Uh so you know we got to slow him down and that’s my job it’s my I have the first assign I’m assigned to him and um you know I got to be physical with him and you know not make it easy for him nobody wants to games you guys is a game

Like that can it be helpful in the middle of the season to remind you guys yeah AB absolutely you know we all said it on the plane and we rather have it now than in April so uh let’s get that out the way and like I said before it’s

Not you know things weren’t Rome wasn’t built in one day and I continue to say that and know it’s fe uh January um like I said when it gets to March when it gets the end of February then and we’re still doing this type of things then

Maybe we should talk about stuff but right now we just got to continue to build on it and trust each other and uh compete hard get a lot tougher second half season I’m just wondering it get you play a couple couple back to back games with lower teams in the standing there a

Little more of a sense of urgency to try to every game is important to us for ourselves you know uh no matter who the team is um we’re building for ourselves right now so that the way in the long run we know what we can go to uh it’s

Good to have Jay Crowder back you know our rot we’re trying to figure out our rotations again with him back and uh everything’s going to be good man I we’re still confident we’re still feel great you know we got great spirits and ready to continue to keep playing um I I

Know fan voting for Stuff ends for the game um I don’t know when they pick skills stuff but what would it mean for you if uh if you get that call to participate in three-point would you like to I’m guessing uh yes I would love to be a part of that Three-Point Contest

And not only be there win it I think I have a strong chance um you know even when I uh last year I did a campaign with the Jazz you know didn’t make it um and this year hopefully I do you know the last three years I’m third and um

Field goals made from three so you know I’m trying to put the league on notice and whatever happens happens if not I’ll be there supporting my guys and I’m going on vacation so I think Dame is defending champ yeah he he’ll be there he’ll be there automatically and then

Dame um you know we’re trying to get me in there as well but there’s been years where there’s been multiple guys on the team like Kay and Steph uh Ty re and Buddy he so um it can happen have you have you guys I mean I know that’s kind

Of a fun thing I mean if if you’re both in it yeah would you have to like not practice with one another would you no I I would well first I would ask him for advice because he’s been in it I’ve already asked for advice so um but at

The same time um you know once we get out there it’s going to be fun and games but I think when we both get to shooting I think we going to both try to try to win so uh hopefully one of us is holding the champ uh the championship up by the

End of the night and that’s that’s good for the organization
