Pregame quotes from Coach
“His aggression, we’ve constantly talked about that with him. His ability to protect the rim, (Us) being able to switch different packages. His spacing of the floor, mixing up different rolls (and getting to the rim), and then spacing out for three’s.” ~ Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley on Mo Bamba’s play during this seven-game homestand.
“He’s going to go into his shooting slot (during pre-game), so we’re going to find out more probably right before game-time.” ~ Mosley on Wendell Carter Jr.’s availability tonight against the Timberwolves.
“I think we constantly tell our guys, ‘next man up mentality (and stay ready when your time comes)’. And then at the end of the day, this is the way the NBA season works. There’s up’s, there’s downs, there’s highs, there’s lows. Every team has gone through it (it’s a marathon), so our guys continue to understand that. And once you put those shoes on and that jersey on (and step between those lines), it’s time to go out and play.” ~ Mosley on how the team stays focused amidst so many players missing time due to dealing with various injuries.
