The kings have light the beam.
We have.
Ring the Bell
Right after Jamahl Mosley became the Magic’s head coach in the summer of 2021, he installed a bell in the practice court that gets rung whenever a player makes a hustle play. That includes things like taking a charge, deflecting a pass, and diving on the court for a loose ball.
you gotta wonder though, what’s so great about ringing a bell?
It’s like the turnover chain in football. It’s just a simple way of recognizing hard work and effort.
Let’s be clear: the defensive performance of this team has been nothing short of staggering. However, the biggest result of this has been it’s affect on our offense.
We rank 1st in steals and 9th in transition scoring. Also, our bench boasts 2 guys in the top 15 of total points scored off the bench.
Wanna know how to offset a team that needs more shooting? Just dominate defensively and get easy buckets in transition. Our offense is predicated on our defense.
The real question is when we face a team that is able to get their offense regardless, cuts down on the turnovers and plays defense on us well, do we have enough firepower to simply grind a win out.
Hopefully we can advance in the in-season tourney and see some really meaningful ‘playoff-like’ games to see how our team responds.
