PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT (SEE COMMENTS FOR FULL):
07:48 JORDAN POOLE: Felt good. Competitive game. Our guys fought til the end of the game. We got better tonight. Credit to everybody who stepped up. Everybody had a good game. We got another one tomorrow.
08:01 Jordan, what's the difference between your first time coming back last year compared to maybe your time tonight?
08:07 I'm playing my true position, being able to be aggressive. I think you can see, I get my teammates involved. I can score the ball, put pressure on the defense and just be extremely competitive. Last year is a little bit different in terms of my role. And of course, all the extra stuff leading up to it, tribute video and everything, but it just feel like a normal game today.
08:28 What place did you feel like the team got better tonight?
08:31 We just fought. We were competitive. That team has a lot of respect over there, so I think it was really good to see. I just played through the physicality. They get away with a lot of stuff, a lot of grabbing, a lot of off-ball screens. I think for our young guys it was really good just to see what a playoff-caliber team is like, playoff organization's like and just the atmosphere, throughout the course of the game. And I think we just stepped up to the challenge and got better.
08:56 How much love did you feel tonight, both during the game from the fans and then after the game from your former teammates and coaches?
09:04 Yeah, I love those guys over there. I love most of those guys over there and really good group, really good staff. Shout out to the fans, saw a lot of three jerseys out there. A lot of JP3 jerseys, which is always really cool and always get a lot of love. Spend some some good quality time here and it's dope to see it. Appreciate it.
09:26 We talked a lot about when your scoring's there, it opens up things for you to facilitate, for your teammates, to get them open. What did you see tonight, because you were able to find guys, but as well to get your own?
09:37 Yeah, just being aggressive early, knocked down a couple shots. I think we were really good with getting to our space early. And then normally pretty quick in that first quarter, second quarter, they start throwing a lot of different coverages. They start doubling a lot of the screens, so they blitzing and then they bring in defensive specialists like Gary or they'll throw Moses on me just to mix it up and they'll get really physical. And when they start to throw two at me, just get off the ball and now I'm giving my teammates advantages on the backside, whether it's a catch-and-shoot, whether it's an easy layup. I just think we've been doing a really good job of just learning how to play off that, over the course of the year.
10:12 How fun was the battle with Gary?
10:14 Gary be hacking. But I've been going up against Gary my whole career. So I know how he plays. I know his tendencies. It's always good bump with him. Really dope. It's not my first time frying them. I used to do it in practice pretty often.
10:31 You talk about playing your natural position now. I mean, how much more at ease and comfort do you feel in your game with this team now?
10:39 Pretty comfortable, pretty comfortable. I think it's just also easier for my teammates, getting them good looks. Our rookies have stepped up. Alex has stepped up, Bilal, Ky(shawn George) had a…
