It takes a lot to make Al Horford agitated. So, when the Boston Celtics vetera
n called out Orlando Magic guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope for a hard foul that
 injured Jayson Tatum's wrist -- "There was something extra," Horford said of
the play -- eyebrows were raised.



The Magic, it appears, couldn't care less.

"That stuff really means nothing to me," Orlando guard Cole Anthony said Wedne
sday ahead of Game 2 at TD Garden when asked about Horford's comments, via Jas
on Beede of the Orlando Sentinel. "At the end of the day, if anything, I look
at it like a positive because now we’ve got them complaining.

"We've just got to keep our same level of physicality and at the same time kno
w nobody's trying to take anybody out and hurt anybody. We all play this game
the right way."

The Magic, who ranked 28th in the NBA in points scored this season but first i
n scoring defense, rely on physicality and defensive effort to win games. And
while that physicality has drawn the ire of opponents -- Atlanta's Trae Young
recently pointed out that two of his Hawks teammates got injured while playing
 Orlando -- Anthony said his team isn't changing its approach.

"We're going to keep mucking it up," Anthony added. "You're just giving us goo
d feedback."

不過看起來，魔術隊一點也不在意。



「我們只需要維持同樣的對抗強度，同時清楚沒有人是故意想傷害誰。我們都用正確的方
式在打球。」



「我們會繼續打得有點亂（mucking it up），」Anthony 補充道，「你們的批評對我們
來說反而是正向的回饋。」


Caldwell-Pope offered a similar reaction Wednesday when asked about his foul o
n Tatum.

"Just a foul. Playoff basketball. That’s all I gotta say on it,” Caldwell-Po
pe told CLNS Media's Bobby Manning. "I didn’t hear any comments (from Horford
). I’m not worried about any comments. At the end of the day, this is how I p
lay, this is how I’ve been playing in playoff basketball.

"A hard foul is a hard foul. I really don’t care what anybody says. I’m stil
l gonna play how I play, how I’m supposed to play for my team at the end of t
he day."

當被問到對 Tatum 犯規的動作時，KCP 週三也表現出類似的反應。



「A hard foul is a hard foul。我根本不在意別人怎麼說。說到底，我會繼續照我該有
的方式
打球，為我的球隊做該做的事。」

Based on comments from Anthony and his teammates, the Magic certainly don't pl
an to tone down their physicality, which might be their only hope of making th
is a series. So, the Celtics should be prepared for more of Orlando "mucking i
t up" going forward.




"Cole Anthony:  你們的批評對我們來說反而是正向的回饋"   大家聽到了嗎
