WHERE WE KEEP ALL QUOTES: https://LetsGoWarriors.com
QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Steve Kerr pregame Pelicans on Jordan Poole’s third quarter: “I have no idea, if I knew I would talk to him before the game to get that in the first quarter… we’re not fouling… if the floor is open… then Jordan’s speed becomes a major factor.”
• On if the playoff-like game-planning was a conscious decision coming out of the All-Star Break or finding the moments: “More the latter but I did feel like when we came back from the break… what a playoff plan looked like… generally during the regular season you keep things pretty vanilla and you just try to get good at your basic stuff… we should have some games where we mix it up… the opponents, the personnel… it’s called foa for certain changes to our schemes.”
• On if Andrew Wiggins join the team on the road trip after a seven-game absence: “Nothing to update you on.” Wiggins has been out for personal reasons. (Kerith Burke)
• On Gary Payton II: “He plays great music in the weight room. I enjoy listening to his music, and he’s in there a lot… we’ve had a couple of conversation and I’m thrilled to have him back. He belongs here. ... He’s going through rehab every day and getting on the court as well, not in practice but on his own. He’s coming along well.” (95.7 The Game)
• On how they coach: “Trying to keep guys prepared all year for when their moment comes… make sure you’re staying in shape, staying in condition… before and after the games… days we have off, they gotta get extra work in… seizing your opportunity.”
• On GP2’s music choices: “Maybe that’s why I like what he plays because it’s more old school. A lot of Bob Marley.”
• On Andre Iguodala: he has scrimmaged with Steph Curry and has been “doing pretty well… I’d advise you to listen his podcast (for an official update).” Warriors say he'll be back at some point between now and the end of the season. (Madeline Kenney, Dalton Johnson, 95.7 The Game, CJ Holmes)
• On JaMychal Green: “It’s just kind of been his role this year where he’s sometimes in the rotation and sometimes not, even within a game like last night (vs the Clippers)… second quarter but not in the fourth… really hard position to be in… as a veteran he understands… stay ready… knock on wood, there could be injuries… what you’re seeing more related to the absences of Steph and Wiggs.”
• On the mood: “Guys are in a good state of mind… it has to translate to the road. That hasn’t happened this year… take care of tonight first.”
• On two-way player Anthony Lamb, who is set to play in his 49th out of 50 games tonight: “He's playing tonight and we’ll see where Steph is in terms of when he’s coming back. Andre, Wiggs, I think all of that will factor into what we’re gonna do on the Lamb front." (95.7 The Game)
• On the offense and defense: “We’ve been saying that (connected) from Day One.”
• No Jonas Valanciunas tonight against the Warriors, per Willie Green pregame. IIn two games this season against the Warriors, the Pelicans big man has averaged 9.0 points and 9.5 rebounds, a +22 the last time the Warriors played the Pelicans. (Dalton Johnson)
