Buddy Hield – Orlando Magic play hard
But just 18 points for you guys in the fourth quarter of this game and did do something specifically that you felt like slowed you guys down so much at the end why do you feel like you got in a rut there uh I think we just uh a little
Too get a little stagnant Miss opportunities that we should have capitalized on uh just got to be be more physical uh we we got we got we got to do a better job the game was in the fourth quarter the game was in the first half uh coach preach about it going to
Locker him to game Us in the first half we give 20 points first half uh we got to be relentless like that half and then a four quart in the second in the second half and treat that the same way in the first half we figured out man to come together
You know we not too far away from that said something similar about you know they scored 73 in the first half you guys didn’t didn’t have that early in the game like what what happens when that isn’t there can you tell right away that you’re not playing the way you want
Is the energy missing is it something that happens pregame or is it just like the symptom of an NBA season kind of deal you know like uh last last time they came in they embarass us you know they punched Us in the M we didn’t respond then we were just trying to do
It be more physical you know we know we’re down what 14 15 and a half uh you know sometimes to basketball work sometimes you you you feed off the crowd you get into the game I made a few B plays Tai made some plays and you try to
Figure it out uh but we was not able to weather the storm and enoy that fight you know um you think we beginning that fourth early fourth we can we tend to like take the foot off the pedal and then make a couple shots and know we always trying to play catch up
Basketball catch your basketball and we couldn’t be able to like get back in the fight is it just their size what about that team is so tricky for you guys man they play hard I me every every second every every play they play hard they’re they’re very beatable but they play hard
And I think that hard play is what separates them uh they don’t have no elite shot making there Gary Harris but their hard play uh makes them so Elite and uh you know you guys playing hard every possession you know and uh and uh Jamal mosy does a great job uh just just
Hing them and playing hard every position boxing now in the Atlantis they six7 from every position you know which is they got got come up the bent had a 67 68 uh but no we had chance to win this game I think we get we got away from us you mentioned Rick
Uh talking about it at a half I mean it really seemed like you guys came out with an edge uh you know going into the third quarter basically I mean like what was the message that got across and and how did you guys I guess receive it I
Mean what what kind of clicked for you you know switched over feel like we just got St got spurts in the first half you know we went on a run run and we we we didn’t Wi on the run and we lost it and
Then we try to get it back you know and I Tred to we the storm and I we know I mean the coaches are they’re they’re telling us all the right things to do we as players have to go there and ply it and uh you know uh try to resemble that
Same hard play that Orlando brings each and every day you know and uh each and every second yes you can get scored on but you playing hard giving your best effort all to the whole 48 minutes you know good results will come and uh we just we we didn’t we
Didn’t have that extra fight to get us across that bump man we needed that but but we getting close man I promise I’m not trying to get you in trouble with this and I’m not asking about the calls themselves but obviously the free throw disparity is huge and also you have a
Bunch of guys in foul trouble early how much did that throw off the rhythm again not asking about the calls themselves of course you know like said we gotta be smart we got to know how guys uh going to beat us they and they do they do
Don’t get me wrong they do a really good job going downhill they’re Relentless I’m Vagner and I CH they they do a hell of a good job getting down hill putting it and uh and that’s why they’re so good because they able to slow the game down
And uh a team like us like to play fast so they on the free throw line and know we just walking the wall back up to them and uh their length can be a big factor in that and we can’t get get into our
Flow how we want to so we got to be do a better job without fouling but you know it’ be like that sometimes and when you don’t get the the whistle going in your way when you guys were flowing offensively I mean the first time you guys played them
Tyrese had a really hard time getting any kind of room but it seemed like he was able to get some operating room obviously you hit some big shots I mean what what do you think what worked better when it was working for you guys offensively uh than last time I just we
Just get stagnant at this different spurts used to get stagnant different spurts weed get to freig how to the storm and uh you know you look you look at the stats now you know the bench didn’t play too good but you know we get one of the best benches in the league
And uh you know and uh they just came up short tonight and uh and they they know it and uh they’re I’m pretty sure next game they’re going to find way to respond we got a really elak bench but that’s not the excuse why we lost so I can’t give
You anything we we got figure it out man we lost together as a team we got to figure it out buddy when you face a team with this kind of modern size like Toronto like them and you’re undersized at every position and out of length what what becomes the most important thing
Then Hard Play Hard Play All physical themm doing the little things rebound box out every possession matters because that their length covered up a lot for it so hard play man then with James back in the fold how have you already noticed him reestablishing himself and making
Some kind of difference James Johnson oh he’s a vocal leader man he’s just one of the best guys I’ve been around in the league you know uh just positive he’s like another coach out there and uh and he connects to us really well on and off
The court and uh man he’s like a big bro man uh he’s just helping the rookies helping Tai helping miles and uh just talking in my air talking everybody in the air like he’s that positive voice that you need in locker room you know and uh like I say he’s he’s another
Coach out there and uh but as a player you know which just needed thank you man rest of y’all quiet out here man yall get me for uh Jim conin hi buddy uh just one quick one for me to you uh I spoke to Luke Walton last year and he came up
With a famous quote an answer he gave me he said if I go to the roulette table and the games on the line and I’ve got my last chips I want the dice in Buddy’s hands how confidence does that give you as a player when your coach has that
Belief in you that when everything’s on the line he wants the ball in your hands to take that shot I’m a good shooter I don’t miss n we just messing with you but uh no it’s Luke I mean I mean Luke have good talks and uh like
Luke know my mind says that and I work hard and uh he trusts me a lot to make a lot of shots and uh even shots I think is impossible to make he gives me the call to do that and uh as a coach you want to have a guy like that that’s
Riding your back and I was always on you so you know respect the respect level is there so uh like I said he all lowed to confidence me so uh as a player you know uh I have the confidence to take the shot whatever he draws up I’m ready to
Do and finally uh buddy uh just one thing I suppose you repping for the people of the Barbados Bahamas Bahamas on man Bahamas Bahamas how important is that to you’re like a cult figure for your home s to Country and did you inspire a next generation of players to appear in the
NBA uh you know uh it’s really good uh KN where I came from the Bahamas and just being in the NBA and uh just seeing the guys like DeAndre haton coming up and now you have Kai Jones who just get drafted from Charlotte Hornets you know was really inspirational like yeah I
Look like a big road to them but uh but uh it’s just motivating the the the other kids like to keep on pushing you know it’s hard you know like like guy like Tristan from Canada there was a lot of not a lot of Canadians in League you
Know you got a about 20 canes in League now and they playing a high level so our drawers me DeAndre Aid and K keep on inspiring of the young kids to Keep On Believing that they can play in the league and one day they can be like us
