00:00 Moses, before the game, Steve talked about how Jimmy kind of frees you up a little bit, like a lot of guys, but that you can do the stuff that you do. What does he free you up to do? How different has it been for you playing with Jimmy Butler?
00:15 MOSES MOODY: It's a lot easier playing with Jimmy Butler. For one, he causes so much attention, so a lot of times my guy is looking at him on defense a lot and then he's just always making the right play, always on the lookout, so he frees up a lot of open shots. That's one thing that he does, for sure.
00:31 It looks, I mean, have you been even more aggressive, defensively? Can he have affected that or is it something that you've decided, I'm just gonna be physical? I'm gonna be on the ball. I'm gonna be knocking the ball. It just seems like that is something you've turned up the last few weeks.
00:44 Yeah, I'll give Stack (Jerry Stackhouse) a lot of credit for that. We've been talking about it, some movement things, like working on stance and the easiest way to move laterally and pick up point and how that affects the defender and what options they can and can't do from that far. So we've kind of been going back and forth with that, so I'll credit him with that.
01:08 You went 5- for- 5 inside the arc tonight. Just how much do you feel like you've grown, just finishing in the paint at the rim?
01:17 I think a lot of it is, selection. You talk about shot selection from the three, but in the paint, that's a good one too, just getting in there, seeing when you got a good chance to get a finish. When you don't, knowing that you've made the defense collapse and find an open man, so I think that's gonna make you more efficient, but also helps you find the best ones.
01:43 Not specifically about the game, but more so about kind of like what Jimmy Butler has been able to do for you guys to follow up on what he said. GP2 said he brings Erykah Badu vibes with the candles and everything like that. With that being said, what has he changed off the court with the connectivity? Because it does seem like everybody is eating right now out there when it comes to just finding the open man, the best shot from whoever is available, GP2, a great example of that tonight. Is that because of Jimmy or is it just because everybody is just on a different headspace now than they have been in the last, I'd say, two seasons, since I've been — two seasons, yeah.
02:20 Yeah, he affects winning and winning affects everything else, so when we're playing good, it's a lot easier to be cool off the court, but, I mean, he is who he is. He has a big presence. He's authentic to himself, so he does do the candles, different type of music, however you feel him, whatever it is. So yeah, he definitely has a presence in the locker room and just that. Like, he a real dude. So real dudes is contagious and that's a cool thing to be around all the time, so I think that might be some of that Erykah Badu. She pretty real too.
02:54 Moses, Gary had 26 tonight. Should he frame that score? That's that box score?
03:00 GP, he did his thing tonight. He knocked down shots. We used to see him on the defensive side of the ball, but tonight, today he was bringing it up, shooting threes. I told them let's draw up a pin- down or something, get him another look, but yeah, yeah, it's cool to see he can handle, the ball. And that's just a prime example, too, of somebody that plays, that does his job. When he does what he has to do, he has to defend, hit open shots. He knocked them down tonight, but he can also bring the ball up. I said in an interview…
