SHOOTAROUND SOUND: GARY HARRIS & WENDELL CARTER JR.

So let’s talk first off about just your All-Star break how was it how were you able to just reset and get ready for the second half it was a great All-Star Break um got to go home see the fam um cold weather so you know it was good to

Get back to Orlando but we right back in the cold right now so uh looking forward to finish off these last 27 strong you guys broke down saying playoffs in the beginning how important is that mindset for y’all going into this um you know we’ve been saying believe you know all

Year so just uh just continue that belief and you know it’s uh it’s time to lock in we have uh everything right in front of us that we want to accomplish so just taking that uh that next step and really trying to get it done and you

Guys now have the chance to even the series against Cleveland what makes them so difficult or and what do you guys need to do early on in this game to get a win tonight um we got to stay locked in last game uh their Shooters uh got

Hot um we got to stay locked in to to the snipers and just play a great team ball you know we we’re a defensive team so coming out locking in on defensive end and be able to run and push the pass on offense Gary you guys will be down

Kell tonight could be down you know Paulo uh when when you’re out two key guys like that what are the keys for the group to to step up in order to get a victory against a team like this um you know next man up you know we’ve dealt

With a lot of different uh lineups this season so I think that’s uh been kind of our advantage you know this not the first time we’ve been down guys so just continue to uh stick to our principles and we know what type of team we are and

Continue to uh next guys going to step up and continue uh continue to play how exciting is it this time of year to to be in the mix the way you guys are and to be playing meaningful basketball come to stretch front of the season no it’s

Fun this is this is why you play the game so this is the best time of the year uh especially uh you know as we get close to this playoff time so you know we just got to lock in and we got to detail work and um we have to be even

More locked in even more serious but this is the best basketball so this is when it gets way more fun what for you coming back into this do you guys feel like it’s a good restart it’s a good setup um how was the break and just you know getting ready

For the second half um I think the break did Us justice I think you know everybody got a chance to get away um get their bodies feeling good get their mentals feeling good so I I always feel like now that I’m in my sixth year in the league I always take the allstar

Break as opportunity just kind of reset everything and um get back to you know what we used to is playing basketball I heard you guys break down playoffs has that been kind of the goal the mindset that everyone’s been talking about just to get into the Rhythm and and really

Lock in yeah absolutely like that’s something that we’ve always St strived for since the beginning of the season was uh eventually make it to the playoffs so um you know that’s something personally I want to to at some point and um you know I feel like we’re definitely more than capable of getting

There as a team with Cal down Paulo being sick how important is it for everyone to step up especially in tonight’s game broo is nuts bro yo he’s crazy bro I with with Paulo possibly being sick marel out how important is it for everyone to really step up and kind of

Lock in going into tonight’s game um I mean I I think it gives us a great opportunity to kind of um show that you know we’re all capable um know I feel like our team is uh very capable of um know filling in shoes when other guys

Are out so uh you know we’ve done it before we beaten really good teams when and we were down a lot more than this so I think we uh still have a great opportunity to win it tonight and uh you know guys stay prepared they stay locked

In they stay ready for the opportunity so I think we’ll be good how fun is this team cuz clearly everyone is having a good time joking around how fun is it to play with everyone here oh man it’s amazing um you know I was just telling

Them uh telling some of my my friends know over the break this is probably the most fun I’ve had in the season just the the togetherness and um you know we’re all we’re winning too so I feel like that’s a great a great combo when guys when guards are winning and we’re

Having fun doing it so you know uh I think we have a really special group for sure so many of your special group huddling around which which one of your teammates do you feel would be make the best member of the media the best member uh definitely Joe

Engles I think he will do a phenomenal job I think he’ll keep everyone laughing for sure get F by the FC
