WHERE WE KEEP ALL QUOTES: https://LetsGoWarriors.com
QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Kerr does an impression of Marv Albert: “30 chairs and one reporter…and Marv just crushed it…’And once again the czar drawing a huge media throng.’” (NBCSBA)
• Next question to Kerr is about ring for Nanea McGuigan, players wanted to do it. (me)
• On Mike Brown: Jama takes his place on substitutions, Kenny Atkinson will handle defense. (me)
• Kerr: “I love JaMychal (Green). I didn't realize how good he was until I coached him…a lot of corporate knowledge…a lot of feel, too (as a veteran)…he guarded LeBron…he can guard up and guard 5s…replacing Otto and Beli…As far as Gary’s absence, Donte…Moses…Jonathan…we have plenty of options.” (CJ Holmes, me)
• Kerr said he expects Klay Thompson and Draymond Green should have their minute restriction lifted to a normal regular season level within a couple weeks. Klay was at 20 in opener, Draymond 25. Maybe a gradual bump Friday vs Nuggets: “It’s tricky because of the minutes restrictions…I don’t expect that to last more than a couple weeks…for the next few games, anyways, we’ve got to mix and match…Jordan and Donte with James…those three have been a good combination…that’s the one thing I’ll probably stay with…if there’s a bump up it would just be a couple of minutes (for the main six).” (Anthony Slater, me)
• On what they did in practice: “We did some defensive work trying to prepare for (Jokic)…defensive transition was abysmal.” (me)
• On Iguodala: “I would ask him…He’s got a podcast. I’m waiting for him to announce when he’s ready.” (me)
• On having an advantage being a player’s son: “Luke Walton…tell us stories about being in Boston (locker room)…NBA sons is pretty unique…schedule…seen their fathers go through it.” (me)
• Kerr enjoyed watching D-Lee knock down the game-winning shot against the Mavs last night, although he did not see Steph’s reaction: “You build relationships that last even beyond coaching someone,” also referencing Juan Toscano-Anderson and Mo Speights the other night. (NBCSBA, me)
