...from Celtics-Warriors postgame. QUOTES (sorry no timestamps available yet):
0:00 - on the game: "It’s a great basketball game. It felt like a playoff game. High-level stuff, great defense, both teams plahying incredibly hard and smart, not a lot of turnovers...It was much more of an isolation game than we like, but that's what they do...the guard play tonight was just amazing back-and-forth."
- on Steph Curry: "we can always use Steph on a high screen and on a night like tonight, when he's going, it's actually the best option."
- on how to slow down Kyrie Irving: "I'm not telling you that. Whatever they were, they didn't work very well"
- on subbing Steph back in earlier than usual: "in a game like this you got to go to him...in certain games we play him bigger minutes...we were struggling to score."
- on if Steph is taken for granted: "When he was on the rise and the MVPs happened, it was maybe a bigger story, but maybe that's the best sign of true greatness: when people just expect it every night. We expect it every night because it happens almost every night.”"
- on the second unit: "as happens frequently, got us back in the game, settled us down, executed and defended."
