Next Up: Orlando Magic | Raptors Today – March 14, 2024

Welcome back to Raptors today coming with you from the luxury of our very own homes it’s a virtual day for us on Raptors today looking ahead for the Toronto Raptors and they get to play an old friend Jeff welman former Toronto Raptor Stafford now the boss out in

Orlando he just resigned his head coach Jamal Mosley to a four-year extension and theyve built a team around some very talented young players France Vagner and as Sher reminded me off air Paulo benero so Sher I’ll start with you on this one um top five defensive team as much as

The NBA talks about the fact that they’ve kind of pushed defense to the back burner this Orlando mat team has found an identity around that and they’ve been successful yeah you credit their head coach Jamal Mosley for really preaching that and instilling that in this young

Group and he’s a bit of a throwback coach so he he understands what it takes to get young players to buy in and he’s done a great job and these young players are doing a very good job executing and I think in a league where as you mentioned where teams are being

Influenced to score the basketball and the rules are guiding teams to score more if you have a young group that’s able to stop people in crucial times they’ll always be able to score because that’s what the league is about but the other side of the basketball is really

Making this team very good and and they’re going to be a dangerous team in the future but I like what they’re building and I really tip my hat to Jamal Mosley for what he’s done as their head coach eight games this year they’ve held their opponent to under 100 points

That’s tops in the NBA Warren does this Orlando Magic team excite you yeah no they they do I mean from an offensive standpoint they’re doing three things really well they’re getting layups they’re getting free throws and they’re getting open threes and that’s coming from just the dribble penetration

And and and it goes to show they can they they have a guy they have a bunch of guys who can shoot the basketball and they’re doing it well and then on the flip side of that they’re defending and that’s hard to do in the NBA especially

Today so you know if you’re if you’re doing all those things offensively and you can defend and you have the size and the youth and athleticism which they are not lacking in that’s a recipe for excitement aille I’m I I don’t know if you can see it on my

Face I’m still I’m still I’m still holding true and hoping the Raptors you know what pull out a win but it’s this this team’s for real and I think you know as Sher just said they’re going to be very good in the future all right well it’s going to be an interesting one
