QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
ON MOSES MOODY’S ROTATIONAL MINUTES:
“Well, he’s just got guys in front of him who are playing well. Moses has done a great job. Every time he’s come in (the game) the last couple of weeks he’s brought great energy. He’s rotating early, he’s being aggressive on the glass and he’s making good plays. Every night is determined by who is available and how the game is going. I won’t hesitate to put him in if I see fit because he’s really coming along and playing well.”
ON JONATHAN KUMINGA’S PLAY ON THE MOST RECENT ROAD TRIP:
“I just see him recognizing situations more quickly and making the appropriate read on time and being comfortable with that read. I think as a rookie, for every player, the game is moving so fast that timing is usually a little bit off. The game seems to be slowing now for him and he’s really patient in attacking at the right time and shooting with confidence. It’s exciting to see.”
ON IF HE THINKS MORE AND MORE TEAMS ARE LEANING HEAVILY ON THEIR STARS:
“I think Houston with James (Harden) were probably the first team to really go all in. I may be missing someone or some team, but that’s the first team I think of immediately when I think of a team that goes all in on one guy, creating every play. Obviously, Dallas has had a lot of success with Luka (Dončić). I guess my best guess is that more and more teams are putting four shooters around their stars now and if you have five-out spacing, and you put the ball in the hands of a guy that can break the defense down, that’s really hard to guard, so teams are doing it over and over again. It’s kind of where the league is trending with all the shooting and all the space that is available. Teams are starting to try and use that pick on game and use their best players as much as possible.”
• Steve Kerr pregame Sixers says the plan remains for Gary Payton II to practice tomorrow: “we’ll see where he is…he's coming along well, and I think there's a chance he can play on this homestand.” (Kerith Burke)
• On Wiggins: no update. [He hasn’t played since Feb. 13. Tonight’s game will be the 18th straight Wiggins has missed.] (Tim Bontemps)
• James Harden is out tonight against the Warriors. Doc Rivers said Joel Embiid is "fine". Sounds like he's cleared to play. (Anthony Slater)
• Doc Rivers always likes to get a round of golf in when visiting the Bay Area. I told him he was lucky he got to golf this trip - he played San Francisco Golf Club for those wondering - given the recent crazy weather. “I hear you guys had a tiny storm come in,” he cracked. (Janie McCauley)
• I can tell you from the Eastern Conference perspective, nobody wants to see the Warriors in the postseason. (Kate Scott, 76ers TV pbp)
