PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT (SEE COMMENTS FOR FULL):
00:00 What do you feel like opened up for you guys late in the third, early in the fourth?
00:04 BUDDY HIELD: Ah, just, I think Draymond diving on that floor on the loose ball set a tone and that was the change from the game. And I think I got a three. I think we were down like, what, four, maybe three or something like that. I can't remember. Three. I made a three and then after that, came back down, we got a stop, settled in, I made another three and after that, I think Jimmy got fouled and after that BP got going and got a little rhythm. Draymond made some plays. Jimmy made some plays. And I feel like we was able to get out 14, 15, respectfully, give us a little comfortable lead and we just figured out a way. Some of these games are hard to grind out and we just figured out a way to win.
00:49 They seem like — I mean, everybody guards Steph for the three, but it seemed like they were selling out —
00:57 We just gotta have a counterpunch when teams sell out like that. Memphis did a good job doing that, too. We gotta find out what good ways to counterpunch that out and it was — but we did adjust and we haven't seen that in a long time, so we're stuck in mud for a little bit, but we figured it out and we've been able to execute. BP's able to make some shots, Draymond made some shots and Jimmy's able to close the quarter off for us in third. And you can't start rugged, especially like that, especially tomorrow, against a good New York team, too.
01:27 How does your shot feel postadeadline — er, postaAllaStar Break?
01:32 Yesterday, it feels really good. Besides that Philly game, I just — the Philly game, I was just in a bad funk. I don't know why. They all — either my shot was long or short in the Philly game, but other than that, it felt really well. I've been taking good ones. The ball has been coming to me in good spots because of the addition of Jimmy and the continuity offense we play, I feel like we've gotten shots in good rhythm and, man, just coming off that Break, I needed a break, man, for sure, going to the Bahamas and just relaxing and getting myself — get my feet under me and just be able to keep my mind off basketball and chill with family and friends. And, like I said, I didn't feel the game where shots didn't went in, but I still felt good. I think that shots have been great for me.
02:16 What's your takeaways of Jimmy Butler's impact on you so far with you guys? Steph said this morning at shootaround you guys — Steph and Jimmy are like polar opposites in terms of play style. How do you think Jimmy's game kind of impacted you?
02:31 He's very unselfish. I think all he does is very unselfish, no disrespect to my other teammates who we traded for. But I just think that he is just very unselfish. He makes the right read and I think once he wants to turn it on, he's gonna turn it on and we saw him in playoff mode and he just fitting his way in. He's taking a slow time doing that. We haven't seen a big offensive explosion game with Jimmy yet, that we all be able to see, but he's doing the right things to complement this group that we have, especially Steph and Draymond and, like I say, he's a great No. 2 for Steph and we — you know that he settles us down, getting to the free throw line and being aggressive and physical and defensive. And he cleans up a lot of stuff, too. Draymond, he's all-world doing that, but Jimmy, I don't know if you seen him today, he had like two steals on top of the key, just grab that out of the air and like Megatron, and just take off with it, you know? And so he does stuff like that, that doesn't — that nobody…
