PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT (SEE COMMENTS FOR FULL):
06:15 STEPH CURRY: …game all the way around with the flow, just 'cause there were a bunch of challenges and a lot of questionable calls. There are games like that, but Steve's trying to get us going. We responded. We obviously came back from 10 down in like 3 minutes, 4th quarter. Gave ourself a chance, but not gonna blame the refs for us losing. We had a bad night, they had a bad night.
06:55 (Inaudible question about Klay Thompson...)
07:00 Yeah, every rep it does help to kind of get over the shock still of it seeing him in a different jersey. But once you kind of lock it in the game after the first game back in the Bay, it's gotten a little bit more normal, if you will.
07:17 (Inaudible question...)
07:26 He's been playing aggressive. He's getting a lot more consistent minutes and showing why he is a guy that can help us in our rotation. He's kind of a plug on defense, getting deflections, trying to be a disruptor out there. He's shooting the ball really well and playing decisive, so he's taking advantage of his opportunities knowing we're probably gonna shorten our rotation a little bit as we get deeper into the season.
08:07 You wanna play tomorrow? I already know that answer. Do you think you will play tomorrow?
08:14 I hope so. I think we take in the context all the data and how I feel in the morning and knowing we've been managing the knee stuff for a long time. So yeah, collaborative decision probably in the morning.

08:30 What's the main issue tonight?
08:35 JIMMY BUTLER: Probably some turnovers. Turnovers and we let them get a rhythm, I think. But definitely turnovers. We take care of the ball, I think we're much better.
08:48 You're a low turnover guy. This historically has kind of been a high turnover team. I guess, how much do turnovers burden you? (inaudible)
08:56 Yeah, I hate turnovers. Yeah, I don't think that's what I'm supposed to be doing. That's tough. I gotta be better. I'm damn sure late game, at that. But, I mean, it is what it is now. But my goodness, if I don't get a turnover, we probably win.
09:13 How'd the wind feel today?
09:15 I felt better today. Yeah, I felt better. I think I finally got it under control and I got it back, but I wanted the win.
09:25 How, generally, how does your kind of scoring touch, jumper, all that kind of feel, right now?
09:32 A little off. Yeah, I think my awareness is off a little bit as well, but that comes with the more reps that I get, the more that I get to play basketball and hoop, especially with these guys who are always looking not just for me, but for the open guy. So you always gotta be ready to attack or be ready to shoot at all times. So I'm getting to shoot it, for sure.
09:52 Is the break, do you think it'll come at a good time for you where you've gotten four games, you can kind of process it? Or is it, would you almost rather kind of keep playing? I mean, I haven't played basketball in like a month.
10:02 I would definitely rather keep playing. But for everybody else, they probably definitely need the break. So I can't play one-on-five, or I would try to. But for my guys, I definitely think that they deserve a rest. And I'll still be ramping it up, getting after it, so when I get back, I know I'm gonna be ready then.
