QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Steve Kerr postgame with ABC, on joking with Mike Brown that he changed all his plays: “We didn’t change any of them. Every once in awhile we end up standing next to each other on the court… gave him the business… trying to beat each other up… but you don’t lose sight of the friendship.”
• On having Draymond come off the bench: “It was his idea… came into the office and said I’m ready to come off the bench if you want me to… goes well, you stay with it… still end up playing big minutes… especially second half and was brilliant.”
• On having a beer after the win: “1230 game so today will be day drinking.”
• More Steve Kerr with Kerith Burke on Barnes’ missed buzzer-beater: “man, I just saw this in Game 1 with Wiggs… we got a break, Game 1 they got a break. We’re probably right where we should be.”
• On what the difference-maker will be: “just comes down to executing… best played game by both teams… took care of the ball… both teams shot the ball pretty well… final possession.”
• On Steph playing 43 minutes: “I’d like to get those minutes down but every game calls for something different… ton of pressure on him to start the fourth quarter… ramped his minutes up… he was brilliant… two days to rest.”
• On not having a flight to Sacramento: “tomorrow the guys will get off their feet… both teams will be rested.”
• Steve Kerr postgame podium, on the timeout call: “Steph wasn’t aware so that’s on me… we gotta handle the pressure better… timeout is 100% on me.”
• On if that play was stunning: “Just moving on to the next play. There’s no time to be angry or frustrated… couple of incredible stops… key rebounds… a chance to really break it open… give them credit. Sacramento really hung in there.”
• On the last play by Barnes: “Yeah we wanted to get the ball out of Fox’s hands… got a good look, kinda reminded me of the Wiggs look in Game 1… sometimes it’s just does the ball go in or not.”
• On Draymond’s defense and having him come off the bench: “He hadn’t come off the bench in ten years… he came to me immediately after Game 3… walked in and said what do you think about me coming off the bench. I had already been thinking about it… we always collaborate… Draymond offered it. This is how we’ve approached… Steph… Wiggs came off the bench… Draymond had a great second half… only had one turnover… huge key for us, taking care of the ball… got back to that two-big lineup, Draymond and Loon.”
• On going back to two-big lineup: “Fox… you can’t just doing the same thing if a guy is torching you like that… he’s a handful… getting Draymond on him… got himself going.”
• On continuing with Draymond off the bench: “You’re really cool. I’m not telling you. Nice Vans… The spacing was part of the reason for the turnovers… creates passing lanes… makes the game easier.”
• On if that was more evident with Draymond out: “When you do something well (in playoffs)… stick with it… if it’s not working you gotta try something different… we’ve been through this together for almost a decade… chessboard…”
• On if they should be better finishing games: “We’ll finish better next game… it’s just a matter of taking care of the details… we did some great things down the stretch…. The timeout mess which was my fault and the turnover. All it takes is a couple plays.”
• On when Draymond said he’d come off the bench: “Didn’t surprise me.”
