Entire STEPH CURRY postgame: pick-&-roll "bread & butter", shooting w/ Durant = "30x35"
37...from Celtics-Warriors postgame. QUOTES (sorry no timestamps available yet):
0:00 - on the game feeling like the playoffs: "first probably 8-10 minutes nobody could really get any separation...fun game, it was intense"
- on the pick-and-roll: '"Obviously, our bread and butter is that high pick and roll. Sometimes, it's nice not to try to be too cute with it on offense and just stick with that bread-and-butter play."
- on Kyrie Irving: "we were defending pretty well, he just made some tough shots, a lot of tough shots...We try to bring the best out of each other and tonight was kind of one of those nights. Just a fun way to play.""
- on the Celtics: ""I'm not answering that, I got in trouble for that last time...I expect them to be a team that's vying for that Eastern Conference championship...great preparation for us as we try to build those habits and in a playoff kind of mentality...Coach talked about it before the game...you show up and play some mediocre game, you're going to get exposed"
- on if there was any campaigning to get in the game earlier than usual, by standing near the coaching staff during a timeout with about 8 minutes left: " didn’t have that conversation...I was trying to get some knowledge by osmosis...I was in my own zone.”
- on hitting 5 threes in 5 consecutive games: (reporter corrected on it being his second time: "Talk to 'em, Raymond!")..."I really have the same mentality no matter what's going on...I've got to make sure that I keep that confidence no matter what"
- on having just one turnover: "Just making the simple play. I mean, it sounds cliche, but it's literally that. The one turnover I had, I know there were three people in the lane. I saw a shot, I kind of creeped in, it was a tough pass to make, and those are the type of plays that are kind of 'bang bang', but you want to try and stay away from...especially against a team like the Boston Celtics who doesn't beat themselves, that's historically been our issue with them...they want to kind of grind the game out so if you don't create great possessions, then you play right into their hands."
- doesn't think the shooting practice with Durant (which he calls "30x35") necessarily helps in battles like tonight vs Kyrie, although he and KD made about 20+ in a row each.. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dimKf5n4EKw for reference.
