Jamal Murray on DeAndre Jordan’s Poster & Rookie Prank after Bucks Win
Jamal this game and reminded me a lot of Boston game defensively and just the intensity it was played with uh what stood out to you about the defense you guys were able to play tonight uh it was a fun game you know uh they’re talented offensively they have
Um a lot of shooting Brook Lopez can shoot that thing um no Dame is being aggressive all game um Yannis is Giannis um Bobby Portis plays with great energy you know Mr mcky plays hard and plays with great energy um um and obviously my boy Malik out there but I think we just
Did a good job of just like being on a string um packing the paint gang rebounding we had a couple letto but we did a good job you know uh for for most of the game so it was a good win by our guys just with how physical they play
How downhill they’re always playing on the defensive end what kind of a like physical intensity does it kind of Ratchet up a regular season game like this um I think it’s more just about who’s got your back you know when Dame’s coming off off um it’s about trusting
You know who’s who’s going to be there um in the low man or or in the Shing position you know just just always being on the string you know we’re trying to make emphasis to stun for the stunner or or active digs or digging for the stunner um if somebody makes makes a
Mistake or or improvises and and and doubles like you know just being on a string we don’t have to draw it up and be like oh if you do this you know what I’m saying so um I think just just having better uh reaction better timing
I think we did a good job of just um reading each other on the defensive end hey Jamal you had you had 21 in the first half was that part of a product their defense kind of packing it in and you kind of needed to get out there and play a little oneon-one
Out I think I don’t think I had a three today so I was going to the rim I was going to the RIM today um I was just taking whatever the defense gave me um I think they did a good job but just uh chasing me around the mid-range all that
Kind of stuff kind of not letting me uh just put into two on the ball when I did come off um U yeah so like I said we just kind of worked around it and um I was able to get going in the first and um until you know everybody else started
To to pick it up in that third and fourth quarter so uh like I said I felt like I didn’t even do much today it was a great team effort you know everybody just being on the string and and playing defense and it was really really came
Down to who can who can defend um each other Pon was step up in the fourth quarter as well especially coming in for AG L just made a really nice play there we we continue asking him about his growth and his development just in Knights like tonight like do you see
More than just like the the physical and then like the defensive development or is is there some mental stuff to that is he getting smarter defensively I think he um he’s adapting um yeah write that down go ahead um I think he’s adapting um uh at a pace that that we
Like you know it’s kind of you know the messes gets across to him um and he does a good job of applying that in the game so I think whether it’s offense defense like cutting staying still um taking his time speeding it up um being aggressive
Or getting a rebound and kicking it out to to me oroke or something like you know what I’m saying just kind of picking the spots and and and and he knows when um uh went to be aggressive so I think he’s just playing a complete Game you know what I’m saying offense
Defense and um he can kind of like I said do a little everything and you know I don’t want to you know that’s Giannis right there man that’s that’s a really good that’s MVP um a downhill guy um somebody who’s going to put pressure in you constantly so I think it wasn’t just
Him but um he did a great job tonight Jamal Nicole said a few weeks ago that the goal is to to to be better than last year even and he said just moments ago that he feels like you guys are getting better you guys are working towards that
Do do you kind of see yourselves as as progressing year-over-year yeah yeah um for sure um everybody you know we got a we got a some new guys new units um this year but I think you know we’re just trying to keep him up to speed and and just
Kind of give him a a baseline of what we’re trying to see from him from everybody and you know we’ve been doing just kind of you know even when we don’t have a good couple possessions like we’re able to to bounce back or or get in oursel into a comfortable set
Um but yeah I definitely think we’re um yeah definitely think we’re on the right track to being a lot better than this year especially that first uh five guys out there you know Julian’s on Instagram live right now uh with Jaylen piet’s car out there I don’t know if you know anything about
This or have anything to do I’m up here brother I don’t I don’t know I’m not on live right now um how about that L for or to DeAndre that was tough that was tough I didn’t think it was going to get through cuz it wasn’t like a high lob I thought
Y was going to get a piece of it but that that was tough that was tough all right all right
