• Draymond Green postgame on Poole: “aggressive from the time he came into the game. He did a great job of picking and choosing his spots. And also the defensive end… growth… locking down on that end… consistent effort… that called for him being great on all sides, one of the main guys carrying us.”
• On defending Embiid: “with a guy like that you never wanna give him a steady diet of anything… he said you know why I played like that tonight? You said Jokic is the hardest guy to guard in the league. So I wanna say Joel is the hardest guy to guard in the league… Coach kinda gave us the free will of take some hits and pull back… the way Loon battled… the hope is that you wear him down… he missed a few minutes… trust the process.”
• On Poole getting under-reported: “When you have success that just comes with the territory… the pressure that he puts on the rim, not many people talk about that… good passer as well… how much pressure he can put on the defense when he goes downhill (isn’t reported enough).”
NOTE: From Philadelphia 76ers at Golden State Warriors, held at Chase Center in San Francisco, CA. WE WILL GO LIVE WITH MIN-GSW ON SUN 3/26 AT 5:30PM PDT TIPOFF.
