• Draymond Green postgame on playing a different team: “…just gotta make the adjustment and come back and play better.”
• On if the quick turnaround had an effect: “Nah… we fouled too much and that slowed us down… that’s on me.”
• On Davis: “…never gonna be one guy that shuts him down… you gotta take that head off… like I said that starts with me.”
• On the FT disparity: “there were some cheap ones that we kinda gave away… away from the hall when they were in the penalty. We’ll be better than that.”
• On the challenges of AD: “…athletic… rim protector… shot was going tonight…”
• On Jordan Poole: “…early on he passed up a couple… a series that will go his way… we’ll need him.”
• On what he needs to change: “My aggressiveness on both ends of the floor… allowed the three fouls to take me out of rhythm… kinda been a thing for me…”
• On if going small can be an advantage going forward: “That’s always been an advantage… Looney… not on him. If anything it was on me… we’ll watch the tape.”
• On the series tilting Poole’s: “…the way they guard. They’re gonna give him some good looks… much better series for him, one that’ll turn his way and hopefully it’ll turn our way.”
• On if they should guard AD like they did Sabonis: “Hell, no. Totally different player. No way. We have to be better at the point of attack… ball screen defense… go from guarding pick and roll totally different… starts with our aggression… allow him to get a couple easy ones…”
Everybody wants to be at home… eventually we’ll have to do that and return the favor… be in front of your crowd… daily routine… protect home court next game but also come this weekend go down there and get one back.”
