QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Steve Kerr pregame Game 4, on Gary Payton II: “We’ll see how the game’s going.”
• On if the rotation choices are difficult and if he wants to reveal any of it: “None of it. More things to consider today… number of people who are capable of contributing… you can ask me about the lm after the game.”
• On if he felt the Kings took away some of his staff a la Silicon Valley: “a lot of layoffs in Silicon Valley so I hope that’s not an omen… a lot of synergies… Vivek… what he learned from here… at the beginning of this run with Steph and Klay… Alvin Gentry, Luke Walton… very strong connection and it makes sense given Vivek.”
• On similar players “They’ve really built their own style. Having Sabonis has given them a fulcrum… reminds me of Andrew Bogut and Mike Brown wasn’t here with Bogut… similarities but that’s also based on personnel… shooting… De’Aaron Fox pushing the tempo.”
• On mental or physical adjustments in Game 3: “taking care of the ball and rebounding… awareness.”
• On more minutes for Stephen Curry, if he looks fresh: “He looks fantastic. It’s remarkable. It’s maybe the most underrated value that Steph brings is his endurance… incredible… on and off the ball, just all the running… defending… takes so much energy… he’s looked great.”
• On Fox and Mitchell defending Steph: “They’ve done a good job… Mike is right… make him work as hard as possible. That’s true of all the great players… historically teams have gone at Steph… it’s not because he’s a poor defender, it’s because they’re trying to wear him out.”
• On conversations in the locker room to keep the momentum: “You keep things very matter-of-fact… film… strategy, add a wrinkle here or there… not a lot of time for big philosophical discussion.”
• On Jordan Poole’s ankle: “I asked him yesterday and he said it was a lot better in Game 3 than Game 2… another couple days between games again so he’s feeling fine.”
• On Kevon Looney, what he means to the system: “Everything… never makes a mistake, one of the smartest players… full awareness of who he is… does his job every night and it’s crucial for us… switching, staying in front of people… every year he’s a feee agent, everybody overlooks him… reminds me of the old Buddy Ryan line about Cris Carter… all he does is catch touchdowns… all Loon does is everything that helps you win… I appreciate Loon more than Buddy appreciated Carter… it’s not flashy and it’s not sexy.”
• On Klay Thompson: “Second half… was the template… drive and kick… we get the ball moving, we get great looks. We can’t fall into the trap of just taking a lot of quick shots.”
• On scheming against Kings’ ball movement: “We have experience in the playoffs trying to take away certain actions… stay physical and put a lot of pressure on the perimeter… the ease of how they dribble handoff.”
