WHERE WE KEEP ALL QUOTES: https://LetsGoWarriors.com
QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Steve Kerr postgame Game 3 recap: “the defense has been good all series… we didn’t rebound… didn’t complete the possessions and tuned it ball… tonight was about taking care of the glass and taking care of the ball… eventually that’s gonna lead to offense… broke through in the second half… the game went the way it did because we took care of the ball.”
• On how they felt when they got the news of Draymond’s suspension: “Our guys were locked in when the news came in… we turned the page pretty quickly.”
• On Moody and Kuminga, knowing they would play: “Yeah both guys were in the rotation plans… Moses really got us going with those two threes… JK with that slow start gave us some good minutes.”
• On Wooden and be quick but don’t hurry: “That was the key… wasn’t about the pace as it was about the decision-making… early crazy ones… guys understood what that decision-making was doing, forcing Sacramento to play in the half-court.”
• On Looney’s responsibility without Draymond: “The way we’ve been playing the two of them have been trading off on Sabonis after the first six minutes… JaMychal came in, did a really good job on him, but this is Loon… never makes mistakes, rebounds like crazy… the game is much simpler.”
• On Looney playing different with 20 boards: “the way we were playing… in Sacramento where we were ball-watching… spaced them out pretty well and then Loon was in the pocket… just going right to the rim… offensive rebounding possibilities.”
• On an unexpected big games like from Livingston, Ian Clark, Mo Speights: “role players need to step up and make plays… could be someone different next game… Donte was fantastic… all over the glass, handled the ball, he got 8 assists.”
• On Steph getting 25 shots being Steph being Steph: “nothing different schematically… controlled the game… rebounding… defense… he saw where he could attack… figures out the game pretty quickly.”
• On the 12 turnover mark, if he celebrates it: “I’m gonna have a marguerita right now but I was gonna do that even if we had 25 turnovers.”
• On how the crowd supplanted Draymond’s energy: “Bay Area is a basketball hotbed. They love basketball here… great basketball fans in the area… the roof is not sky-high… pretty intimate, you can feel the crowd.”
• On Steph having 36 with 1 turnover: “That’s been the message and that was the key and Steph is our point guard and it starts with him… just stacked good possessions… understood the value of even if we’re not scoring, control the ball… especially against Sacramento (and their pace).”
• On how this changes the series: “until someone wins a road game, everybody is just holding serve.”
• On their 27% from threes: “I’m not going to sit here and pretend we have forced every three… I’m sure they’re gonna have a game when they knock down some threes.”
• More Steve Kerr postgame with Kerith Burke, on the team effort without Dray and GP: “they really wanted to do this… prove that they’ve got what it takes too… a lot of people but it was really just the whole group… intelligence of keeping possessions simple.”
• On Looney: “This is who Loon is… always locked in to the game plan… become one of the best rebounders in the league… attention to detail, his connection to his teammates.”
Never. He’s a lunch pail guy… never misses a game… practice… coach’s dream.”
• On Steph being the showman: “I saw the look on his face… breathing, meditating during timeouts.”
