PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT (SEE COMMENTS FOR FULL)
00:00 Jimmy, both Steve and Draymond said that four-point shot, the play that Van Vleet had, really seemed to turn the game. Did you feel that when you were on the court, that it kinda was deflating?
00:16 JIMMY BUTLER, POSTGAME G6-HOU-GSW: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anytime he shot out of the corner not organized, not matched up, it's definitely deflating, one play that definitely turned the tides, but we're not gonna sit here and say that that's the the real reason why we lost.
00:32 What would you say is the reason?
00:34 We just gotta get these 50-50 balls. We gotta rebound better. That's been the story this entire series. They've gotten the loose balls and they've gotten way too many offensive rebounds.
00:48 You guys also, you missed, I think, 14 of your first 15 to open the fourth after that Van Vleet three. What would you say is leading into some of these prolonged offensive droughts?
00:58 Just, I think it's the pressing part of it. We'll be fine. We just gotta continue to make the right play time after time after time. If somebody's open, they get the ball, you create for somebody else and then just the karma of the game, you're gonna find yourself more open, more often than not.
01:16 Jimmy, what would you say would be the reason for the lack of hustle plays coming out on you guys, as in a lack of effort or a lack of energy?
01:22 No, I won't say that it's a lack of effort. It's just if you want to do it or not. That is the bottom line. If you wanna rebound, if you want to dive on a loose floor, if you want to take a charge, all those little things is if you want to do it. It's really that simple.
01:36 You always talk about taking the right shot or getting to the right shot. Do you think some of the guys are turning down the right shot a little bit too often?
01:43 Sometimes, yeah, but too much of any good thing is a bad thing. You can be way too unselfish, you can be way too passive. I think you gotta find a fine line and yes, obviously, if Steph is open, you pass up your shot to get it to him, but when it comes to everybody else, if you find your shot and you're in rhythm, you take it. If you're not, it's simple. Pass it to the next open guy or create for somebody else or create for yourself. I think a lot of the times we do a lot of thinking and it just, it doesn't end well for us.
02:15 Jimmy, I think you've been in four Game 7s. Draymond and Steph have played in five each. On the other side, they have a total of like 10 Game 7 experience. Where does that playoff experience of being in a Game 7 help you guys the most?
02:29 I think we just know how important it is. They do too, though. On the road, backs against the wall. I think this is why you play this game. I know, we know that we have the opportunity to win the game, so on the road at Houston, Game 7 Sunday at some time.
02:50 And you said the other night after the game, the confidence hasn't wavered. Now that you've lost two in a row, where is it at?
02:55 At an all-time high. It's now, out of all times, it's win or go home. It's not wavering. We know how good of a team we are. Like you said, a couple of us have been here before multiple times, so it's on us to make sure we get it done.
03:11 Jimmy, from your experience, tell us what a Game 7 feels like, how it's different? What the vibe is like, what the energy, the whole feeling?
03:19 Yeah, it's definitely gonna be high energy, but it shouldn't feel any different for anybody. You go out there and you play basketball the way that you know how to play it. For us, for my teammates, those nerves don't need to set in. We're gonna be just fine. Game 7 is not the hardest thing in the world, so we'll be…
