...from Warriors practice, day before Milwaukee Bucks.
Sorry, already know the audio is difficult, but that's just what happens when there's tons of bouncing balls and in a small enclosed gym like the basement gym at Al McGuire Center. Original sound was edited for reduced treble and reduced background noise.
0:00 - on Giannis: "there's just nobody like him"
0:24 - on Giannis having more NBA All-Star votes than LeBron: "that doesn't surprise me"
0:39 - on progress of Steph Curry's sprained right ankle: "He practiced fully. He's questionable for tomorrow, so we'll see how he holds up tomorrow. He's gonna come and shoot around in the morning and we'll see how he feels then."
0:52 - on if Curry will play in the upcoming back-to-back: "It's really up to the training staff. They're gonna tell me what makes sense and we won't really evaluate that until tomorrow, but he did look good today and he went through everything."
1:14 - "It's awful, yeah. 30th in the league in 3-point defense over the last 6 or 7 (games). Yeah, we need to get our defense back in order and this road trip will force that to happen"
1:40 - on the Bucks: "The hard thing in the NBA is that everyone is good"
2:20 - on maintaining consistency in the NBA: "If you wanna be great, you can't just focus every other other game, you gotta focus every night"
2:31 - on the key Durant's efficiency: "I think he prides himself on it, so he takes good shots. He's also very unselfish. He's never hunting shots. He's always looking for good ones or looking for a teammate."
2:55 - on Durant surpassing 20k but during a loss: "I was hoping that we would win the game and give him the game ball in the locker room"
3:25 - on the Bucks: "It's why we came in here and practiced...defensive details that we got away from"
3:50 - on needing challenges: "That's fair and that was expected given that this is Year Four...we knew that there were gonna be lulls"
4:30 - on the Bulls' 70th win: "There were helicopters flying above the day before when we drove up...We won late and it was a fun ride back to Chicago. I made a couple shots late."
5:20 - on Milwaukee native Kevon Looney: "He knows exactly what's happening on the floor at all times...He doesn't let people deceive him with pump fakes. I think he's gonna be in this league a long time."
