QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Draymond Green postgame on the altercation with Sabonis: “My leg got grabbed second time in two nights… I gotta land my foot somewhere… I can only step so far, pulling my leg away… the explanation was I stomped too hard.”
• On if he was surprised Sabonis stayed down: “No, I wasn’t surprised he stayed down at all.”
• On his legged being grabbed the last two games: “Monk last game, ran on the baseline… John Goble… let it go… Zarba… I guess ankle grabbing is okay.”
• On yelling at the fans behind. The Warriors bench after the ejection: “Just having fun… fun atmosphere to play in.”
• On being down 0-2 for the first time: “New challenge… this is one we haven’t seen yet and we’ve conquered all the rest of them so why not conquer this one… a lot of fun.”
• On the Game 2 recap: “We’ve played okay. We haven’t played awful but we definitely haven’t played well… a chance to win each game… give yourself a chance to win… we’ve done that twice so I like it.”
• On how the Kings won: “They’ve made shots… put a lot of pressure on our defense… made shots down the stretch so gotta give those guys credit… got some things to clean up.”
• On how to fix the problems from tonight: “Accept the pressure and then go to your counters… myself included you’re trying to force it… can’t get sped up… that starts at the beginning of the game… I’ve started two games with a turnover and I gotta be better.”
• On if the Kings remind him of the Warriors in 2013: “We can say that about any team any year, last year it was Memphis… always gonna get those comparisons so it’s hard to do what we’ve done so I kinda relax on those comparisons.”
• On the physicality: “At times we’ve matched the physicality… too many times we haven’t… kinda figuring it out as well… overall, some okay but not to the level you need to be to win in the playoffs.”
• On young guys: “It’s different brand of basketball in the playoffs… we know what Jordan’s capable of… Donte… JK… just gotta stay ready… coaches have to make the decisions based upon how they feel the game is going… those guys will (stay ready).”
• On the issues being the same as regular season, break habits: “you don’t just flip a switch… work through them to figure them out… gave up 29 free throws… should be a little closer to 20… better at the point of attack… bigs who is in coverage… defense gets compromised.”
• On getting Steph going earlier: “idk we have to figure that out… release the pressure some… what other guys can do… come ready to play in Game 3.”
• On what he does after an ejection: “Sometimes I watch sometimes I don’t.. lift weights, get stronger.”
• On what they have to do differently: “Fox has made plays… that’s who he is… Clutch Award… we’ve scored… just haven’t gotten stops… defensive issue.”
