00:00 BUDDY HIELD, POSTGAME G7-GSW-HOU: Jimmy Butler, everybody.
00:02 JIMMY BUTLER: Buddy!
00:03 Jimmy Butler.
00:05 Get off the stage.
00:10 Jim-my Butler! Tell him he's not Robin no more. Tell him he's not Robin no more.
00:15 Buddy! Buddy! Buddy! Oh my Lord!
00:17 He's Alfred. 'Cause his name is Butler.
00:19 Can you please?
00:22 Well, I guess, what can you say about Buddy's performance tonight?
00:26 Yeah, Jimmy!
00:29 Buddy gets paid a lot of money to play at a high level. Buddy was Buddy tonight. Good for you, Buddy. Buddy, good for you. No, Buddy — buddy was huge, but we know the type of basketball player that he is and he's a tough cover, for sure, whenever he's making shots, but he made so many right plays on the defensive side of the ball, getting the ball where it needed to go. Buddy was really, really, really, big for us tonight.
01:02 And what did you see from Draymond today? Draymond talked about how he took accountability for, I guess, how he was in Game 6 and he made a speech at pre-game dinner. I was wondering, what did you see?
01:14 I just saw Dray being Dray, staying poised, not let all the nonsense get to him, expecting what's gonna happen. I think that was the biggest thing for him, not letting any of that get him outta character. Compete, stay in the game and be the anchor force on the defensive side of the floor and then make some big shots, start us off the right way and control the offensive side as well.
01:41 Jimmy, Buddy had said that team meeting was, he called it emotional, but he credited your leadership, Steph and Draymond, really getting him to lock in and everybody else. What did you say and what was it like going through your first Game 7 with Draymond and Steph?
01:56 I mean, it was — it's a pleasure to be able to compete in a Game 7 on the road with those two Hall of Famers and, I mean, my message to my guys was, I wasn't being who I was in a sense of pumping confidence into my guys. I think that's a part of my leadership that I've learned and gained throughout my years of playing this game at a high level. And I wasn't doing that for the first six games, so I wanted to make sure to let them know that I was gonna let you know everything was gonna be fine. We're right where we wanted to be and I think I got back to being who I'm supposed to be.
02:36 How much did you guys need — it seemed like the last couple games showed you really needed a secondary shooter, someone besides you and Steph to be making those shots the way Buddy did tonight from beyond your entertaining byplay with him. Strategically, how much did you need that and what allowed that? Was there more space for him tonight or — ?
02:55 No, I think we actually rebounded the ball better. We got to the loose balls. It's easier to score whenever you get the opportunity to shoot the ball at that side of the floor. We didn't turn the ball over. All of that plays a role in Buddy having a game that he did and guys being able to make shots at the clip that we did, so as long as we get the ball, secure the rebound, play in transition, it gets easier for everybody.
03:21 Jimmy, Fred Van Vleet had been an issue for y'all the last few games. what was it about tonight or how did y'all defend him differently tonight? Draymond was in here talking about him earlier, but how much of a focus was he for y'all and what were y'all able to do against him tonight?
03:35 I mean, Fred's a tough cover, along with a lot of guys on that roster, but I think it's just making everything difficult…
