CHAPTERS/TIMESTAMPS/QUOTES:
0:00 DJ at Footprint Center adds Steve Kerr’s postgame interview snippet to his halftime music mix: https://youtu.be/K5ztkDXLXWc
0:23 Kerr after practice, day before Phoenix Suns, on the recent injuries: “(Chris Paul) should be ready to go tomorrow. Klay as well.”
0:33 on the DJ at halftime trolling him: “Trust me, I know. I had about 100 people send me the tweet…”
0:27 on how he feels that he was trolled: “I think it's hilarious. I love it. We're in the entertainment business and stuff like that is great. I may have to respond with something of my own...”
1:19 on if the team expects the loud techno music tomorrow: “…we may not be able to actually even hold a timeout. So I'll just tell the guys go get ‘em...”
1:45 on if he liked the DJ’s remix: “it's hilarious…”
1:48 on having an Ibiza-like atmosphere tomorrow: “Yeah, I hope so because that's really where I like to hang out in the summer.”
2:01 on having practices the last two days: “…a lot of a bonding, had a great staff dinner last night. I know the players have gone out a couple nights...”
2:23 on noticing that Kendra Andrews was not in OKC to cover the game: “I noticed you took that game off. You're getting soft...”
2:41 on if he’ll ride out the starters based on what he saw in OKC: “…we're getting leads on the road against good teams every night. So we know we can play at a high level but it's about sustaining it…”
3:30 on Kuminga’s last two games, especially the 12 rebounds at OKC: “…if he can establish his game near the rim, now that softens everything up and you can play more on the perimeter… a ‘3-man’ who's going to do to everything we feel like he needs to establish that power game inside and the finishing… that's going to get him more playing time.”
4:35 on Kuminga getting to the rim and helping them loosen up offensively: “Well, we don't have a lot of force at the rim. Our bigs, with Draymond and Loon, are more dribble-handoff guys and passers out of the post…”
5:00 on if JK has done enough the last two games: “…Somebody is going to be left out of the rotation. And part of that is, how do you respond? That's a big part of being a pro… both guys will be in the rotation, for sure.”
5:55 on the closing lineups the last two games and that combo of JK and Moody: “…it's not as simple as, ‘That’s our closing lineup,’ so we have to play it game by game.”
6:31 on if he’s locked into playing nine or ten players: “I mean, the hard part comes when Gary (Payton II) comes back… I can't play 11 or 12 guys, so no matter what I do, you guys are gonna have a question for me after the game, ‘Why didn't you play so-and-so?’...”
7:27 Chris Paul after practice, day before Phoenix Suns, on having back-to-back practices in the middle of the season: “Yeah, it's nice to get out in the sunlight...”
7:38 on how Kuminga has been playing: “…I don't think just JK, I think the way our season has been so far, with guys in and out the lineup, I think we’ve all been sort of trying to adjust.”
7:55 on being back in Phoenix: “It's nice. I wish I didn’t sell my house. It’s been cool. I got a chance to go spend some time with (Devin Booker) the other day...”
8:30 on Steph Curry saying postgame in OKC that there needs to be more doing and seeing a difference between what can be versus what is happening in games: “…we've got a veteran team, guys who've done seen just about everything... We all know what needs to be done and what it should look like and we just gotta put it in action.”
9:10 on JK getting to the rim balancing out the outside shooting: “It’s no secret, we don't have a high-flying team … when he's attacking the rim, I think it gives us a whole different dimension.”
9:39 on if he sees JK understanding better how to put pressure on the rim: “…understanding how you can screen for guys, how you can cut and just play without the ball… We've been really good in spurts and I think we’ll try to put a full game together both offensively and defensively.”
10:06 on looking forward to playing in Phoenix again, especially having been ejected from the last game here a couple weeks ago: “…I'm just excited to get back out on the court.”
10:15 on how he’s feeling: “Yeah, a lot better than I did.”
10:30 on if Booker has sent him the new Book 1 signature shoe: “Um, I’ma have them.”
