00:41doing what
00:41you're doing right now doing what we're doing right now 100 i mean just to be able to go through
00:48the
00:48ups and downs of the season and us just remain um consistent with our work habits um everybody
00:55staying together um i think it's very rewarding that we're and very deserving that we're going
01:00through this right now we just plan to keep taking it one game at a time and keep keep trying
01:04to get
01:05better tell me about last tell us about last night because you know obviously it was the one game
01:09because i you know it was nine came going at this a lot of people want to discredit discount the
01:14competition that you guys went against but last night it was against a good team a playoff team in
01:18orlando but to me i my the one thing i took away from was from the beginning you took the
01:24responsibility of guarding paulo yeah no for sure uh you know paulo's probably the best player and
01:32um you know he he plays a very aggressive game he's very good um so it was just it was
01:37a team effort
01:38just to try to just try to limit his opportunities as much as possible we had a lot of bodies
01:43to throw
01:43at him so uh giving him different looks but i think just overall we did a good job on on
01:49the on
01:49is just trying to prevent them from um getting hot and trying to trying to find a rhythm yeah
01:54obviously you guys are building a ton of momentum right now winning as many games in a row as you
01:59have like randy just mentioned magic last night is is the i think the first of the 10 or second
02:04of
02:04the 10 uh against the team that's ahead of you guys in the standing it felt different watching it i
02:09what we weren't in the building last night but it felt like a pretty great atmosphere watching it
02:12how did it feel being and did it did it feel like it was that type of game
02:16oh for sure 100 and um it felt like a playoff atmosphere uh just the energy from even the even
02:23even just the warm-ups like you felt the energy in the building and our fans did a heck of
02:29a job
02:29last night showing up and showing out so uh we really appreciate that as well talk about no now
02:35we were sitting up to me like how many does he have now he ends the night with nine 41
02:39career high 41
02:41points i mean was it one of the things where you what he was just like sitting next to you
02:44i saw him
02:45talking to you all the bench was like hey i'm hot give it to me i think everybody just knew
02:51to give
02:51him the ball i don't think he had to say much right um you know nakil he's a he's been
02:56huge for us all
02:57year not just last night but last night was just a like i said before just a testament to all
03:02the
03:02hard work he puts in on the on the daily and um everybody's happy for him and i know he's
03:08excited
03:08just to keep continuing and continue to grow with all of us galen johnson joining us here on the
03:13midday show with andy and randy from the hawks they won their 10th in a row last night he's on
03:17the sweet james accident attorney's hotline um i mean obviously you guys have gotten a chance to
03:23practice a little bit more over the last couple of weeks so you see nakil alexander walker doing
03:28stuff like that in the gym cj kisser like what are some of the what are some of the shooting
03:32competitions like with as many good shooters as you guys have on the team right now yeah well i think
03:37the shooters are usually at one basket by themselves doing shooting competitions um but it's cool
03:43everybody just working on their games uh all the practices are competitive when we compete and all
03:48that um but yeah i don't really uh see too much of what individually they work on but everybody everybody
03:55gets to working um on the daily so what do you mean the shooters that you don't get to be
03:59down
03:59there you can shoot oh yeah i can i can shoot but you know i'm trying i'm trying to shoot
04:04like
04:04those guys so maybe i'll hop in one of these days my my 12 year old son jumped out of
04:09his
04:09out the couch yesterday when you come down the lane with the dunk he said he wanted to ask you
04:13do you ever have you ever hit your face on the rim because you were as high as you were
04:17have you ever just mistakenly hit your head on he wanted me to ask you this this morning when i
04:22told
04:22him we were going to have you on the day um no i don't think i did it dunk in
04:26the ball i think
04:27probably just messing around and trying to see how high i can jump i think just uh i probably hit
04:33my head
04:33a few times doing that but not dunking okay but so you can though like you're just in the gym
04:38warming up and you can like what are we talking about what are we talking like crown or like
04:43eyebrows like what how how high up is it i don't know it's been a while this is high school
04:49because
04:49i i tried to you know jump without a ball but uh we'll try that again oh since high school
04:56oh yeah
04:56a big vet over here five years ago big vet
05:02i'm going as you guys going forward and again i think could you explain how how how good it's been
05:08to have all the guys pretty much there because we just talked before we got you on this is the
05:11healthiest you guys have been uh and also including the new additions like cj and guys like that
05:18yeah no for sure having everybody healthy is that that that's that's when we're at our best of
05:23course you know it's great to have jk back and um everybody's just constantly working on in the
05:28weight room getting their bodies worked on and um everybody's staying on top of that so we're just
05:33trying to do the best we can to control the things we can control to you know remain healthy and
05:37continue to make a strong push i mean it's a different group right now than it was beginning
05:41of the year obviously some trades different group even than a couple months ago with health like
05:45you just talked about i don't know if people say anything while you guys are on the court or
05:49whatever but what do you think teams are are most surprised by right now when they're playing
05:55against this group of atlanta hawks that's winning all these games in a row playing the way you guys
05:59are playing a little bit differently than maybe you were at the beginning of the season what is uh
06:03what is it that you guys are doing that maybe other teams aren't ready for right now i think we're
06:07just trying to play as fast as possible and um how together we're we're playing like it you never
06:12know whose night it can be and i think that's the great thing about us like it can be in
06:16the
06:17kills night one night oh it's seven threes you know dicey flirting with a triple double like
06:22whatever the night may look like you just don't know what to expect because everybody's coming
06:26ready to play and um we just we we love playing that way and we we embrace that type of
06:31style
06:32speaking of triple doubles you've had a lot of those this year you had another one last night
06:36they had a stat on the broadcast i don't know if you know this or not maybe you do uh
06:40but if you
06:40finish the season with the averages that you have right now 23 10 and 8 it's you will
06:45oscar wrestle westbrook and yokich like what what is when you hear that like what what's that
06:51feeling uh it's it's it's great um you can only give thanks to god and um you know stuff like
07:00that
07:00it's just a testament to the work um testament to being in a great organization that allows me to
07:06be the best version of myself so um you know you it's it's it's very humbling um but at the
07:13same
07:13time i know i gotta continue to keep working continue to try to get better every day and um
07:17helping this team win it seems like it's a a non-friendly kind of rivalry between you guys
07:22orlando and you have a little it's a little a little dust up after the game what what happened
07:28over there that was nothing it's just just a uh division rival you could say and uh just things
07:36just basketball happening uh it was nothing nothing nothing crazy nothing too serious but
07:41um yeah it was good a little pushing all right you know we're you know we're good we don't want
07:47that
07:47we don't want that from those guys yeah no it was all good all right let me ask you one
07:52final one and
07:53this is a weird one so so buckle up um there's a lot of jaylen's in the nba right now
