PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT (SEE COMMENTS FOR FULL):
09:45 I know you and Jordan were close when he was here. You guys had a really good relationship. Does it add a little extra spice though, I mean, having kind of that friendliness with him being able to be like — ?
09:55 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Me and Ant are cool too. So it's kind of the same. We know it's all love at the end of the day, but darn it, we're probably gonna talk shit for sure. And Jordan knows what I like to do. And I was with Jordan all summer, so I know what he likes to do and what he's been working on, so. It's time to see what's good. So he already knows. So tomorrow's gonna be fun again, once again.
10:20 Does Ant talk the most trash of guys you match up with?
10:23 Right now in the league? Probably. Yeah, absolutely, and I love it. We go back and forth. It's just not a lot of people can talk and play. And Ant's one of those guys who can do both, which is a skill. And it's fun for me because I know he's gonna bring his best and it makes me dig deep and bring my best.
10:44 How much are you guys looking forward to trying to take advantage of this homestand? I mean, I know you guys have had kind of ups and downs, but when you guys are kind of clicking on all cylinders, this can be a pretty good home court advantage for you guys?
10:54 Absolutely. Like you said, I think Dray said it best: if we don't win games, it's about to be a fire sale. So, we better start winning some games.
11:02 What are the things you guys can carry on from the win in Minnesota with this long homestand and the one game in Sacramento?
11:09 BUDDY HIELD: We just gotta come in and just get back to where we're playing, like, carry over that same physicality, moving with it, being assertive on offense and defense, being more physical, scrappy, team getting out in transition, making plays, making the right plays, being free to letting it rip and just trust your work. And I think Steve has done a good job of all year giving us confidence, just us being ourselves. And we were down bodies, but our next-man mentality up and as we just stay true to ourself and being scrappy and letting it start from the defense end and then after that, the offense will come through.
11:51 You've been such an offensive weapon throughout your career. What's it like playing with someone who's such a defensive weapon with Gary being back for you guys?
11:58 Ah, he's good at what he does. And I don't know if y'all see the clip, the clip of me and Gary arguing. I saw, like, the Twitter reaction, me and Gary. Gary's just so competitive. We just, he wanted to stay on Ant and it was just miscommunication by us, but it shows how competitive he is. He wants that matchup with Ant so bad, and we love that from him and he cover up so much for us on the defensive end and allows us to be free on the offensive end, too.
12:30 Buddy, you had your struggles making some shots, but I know, I think, that game in Minnesota, you did really well off the bench. Why do you think you're having some shooting struggles for a while?
12:38 Don't worry about that. It was — that's for the past. We're moving forward.
12:46 On that play you were talking about with Gary, what happened there? Did you switch on to Ant?
12:51 No, I just, he wanted to stay on Ant and his reaction was he wanted to…
