SHOOTAROUND SOUND: MAGIC VS. PELICANS | JALEN SUGGS

44 and 31 and then last season you guys at this point in time were 32 and 43 what does that just say about the growth and the maturity of this team and the progression of uh really staying committed to uh head coach Mosley and his process I think it says a lot about

Not only us as players and and what we’ve done and the commitment that we’ve made uh but what they’ve instilled in us and especially coach M and the rest of the staff and you know what they harping on daily you know our standard um and I think we’re all buying into that you

Know as a organization you know not just as players or coaches and uh this is the result of it so it’s dope I know you guys might not admit to be looking at the standings as much but it being so tight and close in the East how

Important is it tonight for you guys not to only get a win but to go back to that magic standard that head coach Mosley was talking about very important I think this is a great challenge um we’re going to get the best shot that they got

Tonight um you know they they’re on a low skid uh they’ve been challenging the media you know from CJ from coach green so they’re going to be ready to go and I think this is great challenge uh a great opportunity for us to apply what we’ve you know been talking about and apply

What we’ve been wanting to change these past couple games and days uh into the game tonight what do you think you learn from that last win against New Orleans at home that you guys want to either like uh redo do again or or want to fix

Going into this one uh that we know what to do down the stretch um we we have a good clear understanding of where we want to get to what we want to run uh looks that we want to get and uh you know we put it in the process and we saw

It you know equal win last game so just continue to build on that uh continuing to have the belief you know that even in close games you know those other ones might not have gone our way but you know we have the ability the talent you know

And the wherewithal to take away those close ones when you look at this team getting into the paint obviously getting pressure on the rim is one of the one of big things I think the last four games of game how important is it to to get to the basket

Put uh very important um it opens everything else so for us you know and that’s our superpower we you know between France P Dale ji U mogus uh everybody who who’s great down there in the rim you know and opens up the three-pointers and and makes the defense

Collapse and gets him in scrambled situations I think it’s very important you know when we finish well in there so uh continue to make that a priority you know and let the rest of the game come uh come to us from that you guys you guys think top 10 in the league in

Three-point field goal percentage since the allstar break can can you rely can you lean a little bit too much on on that shooting sometimes and and kind of get not not attack the P like what how do you find that balance between you know getting the threes shooting them

When they’re open making sure they’re putting that pressure on the uh continuing to to take what the game is giv us um like I said we want to apply pressure on the rim we want to get into the pain and cause you know cause low

Man to shift in and to get them in scramble situations but we all got to trust and believe in our jumpers you know if we create a problem you know enough to where we get a kick out in a good look we got to shoot it in and

Shoot it with confidence so I think that’s the mindset on it you know nothing you know nothing too deep you know get in the pain cause problems if if you can finish great you kick out we got a better look even better all right

Listen to Jalen Suggs as he talks about the team’s mindset ahead of their matchup with the Pelicans on 4.03.24
