CHAPTERS/TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 Chris Paul after practice Monday on if he still gets the same level of excitement and/or nervousness as his first Opening Night: “Yeah, absolutely. Steph asked me that today during practice while he was warming up, and I told him the minute you don't get that, it's time to be done. So we talked about that for a little while, so definitely excited and ready to go.”
0:34 on if it’s good to get the game against his former team out of the way right away: “Nineteen years. I don’t know if I done played the team the first time but I don't really think that much about it. I sort of knew as soon as the trade happened that was — I’ve been through this. Yeah, you're gonna play them four times anyway.”
1:06 on if training camp was what he you pictured and envisioned when he first arrived: “Um, yeah. I mean, we got a chance to spend time during the summer. Obviously you don't know. Injuries gonna happen like the thing with Draymond, but it's been probably even better. You know, just because we got such a great group of guys. We got a great coaching staff. It’s een a lot of fun, but I also understand, man, it's a funny training camp. I mean, it's real fast now. It’s a few practices, game coming up. So we still got a lot of different things we gotta iron out, but we ready to get playing.”
2:04 on what Kevin Durant’s return to Chase will be back, having himself returned to different teams in his career: “I don't know about for him. He probably could speak on that. What years was those? I don’t know. All these years we were running together but I'm sure you know the fans go crazy. You know, regardless when somebody leaves, depending on how it is or whatnot. There’ll always be, I'm sure, an emotional connection with the things that they were able to do while he was here. So yeah.”
3:08 on if he was able to find a barber out here yet: “Nah, I'm close to LA. Yeah, I'm good. Yeah, my guy Will Brooke, shout out to Will. Will used to come to OKC, he’s been to Phoenix, Houston. Will been with me a long time.”
3:25 on if a full sense of comfort only comes whenl Draymond is back out there with them: “I mean, that's like rhythm as far as playing, right? Because anytime someone's injured — but Dray’s been getting back into practice or whatnot. But I think with us, and I say this all the time, we just got a great group. Like even though Dray wasn't playing, he was still there. His voice is still there in the locker room during film and everything, but once he gets back, all these different lineups and things, we’re gonna have to figure it out as we go.”
4:17 on what needs to happen for them to get to a point where he thinks they need to be: “It's gonna be time. It’s gonna be a lot of time. Yeah, we gotta learn, sort of identity, who we are. We know how we want to play, but we’re gonna have to see it in real game form. We’re gonna have to see how we guard, how we defend. We’re gonna have to see how teams defend us. You know, and I think that’ll happen hopefully sooner rather than later.”
5:02 on what it will be like playing against Devin Booker: “It’ll be fun, man. It’s crazy. Man, Book, he's so close. It's gonna be like that for life and obviously he’s been on my team for the last three years. So it'll be interesting playing against him for the first time tomorrow, but I'm sure after the first couple of minutes, it'll be like it was when I was in OKC and Houston and all that before. But it definitely should be fun.”
5:37 on Kevon Looney saying they still need to hear his voice even more: “I'm figuring it out. And then anytime you go into a new team, it's always different personalities. You’ve got to figure out, especially as a point guard, I can talk to this guy this way, that guy that way, and you sort of figure that out and Loon has been amazing…”
6:50 on if he brings any emotion from his time in Phoenix or is it just Opening Night with a new team
7:31 on the Mid-Season Tournament and parity: “S/O to my vetoed trade…”
9:49 on the depth of the Western Conference
11:31 on Dario Saric: “Yeah, Dario’s so good, man…”
12:28 on Steph Curry playing until he’s 40: “Oh yeah, he gonna be able to do it easy…just told JK, I said he easily got 20 years in his league…”
