WHERE WE KEEP ALL QUOTES: https://LetsGoWarriors.com
QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Steve Kerr pregame Game 2 on enjoying the chess match vs Mike Brown: “one of my best friends in the league… he knows our team probably better than anybody outside our group… completely different level of preparation.”
• On knowing the status of Jordan Poole: “No, not yet.”
• On how Wiggins feels, more minutes: “Andrew’s doing well… beyond that, I’m not gonna talk about his minutes.”
• On this rivalry being good for the NBA: “it can’t be a rivalry if there’s only been one playoff game… fun… 80 miles from each other.”
• On success after a playoff loss and road games: “Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala, Kevin Durant, among other reasons.”
• On Klay is edgy: “always a little edgy. Even though he can appear happy go lucky and everybody enjoys watching him on his boat, with his dog… he’s a gamer… takes losses and poor performances as hard as anybody… you don’t become a four-time champion and hall of famer because you (just) shoot the ball well.”
• On Game 1 environment: “It wasn’t difficult, it’s just loud… during a free throw or something… I gotta jump up and down (to get attention)… while they’re on the court… there’s not a ton of that anyway… players aren’t listening (in the heat of the action).”
• On good shots to great shots and conversations with Klay or Steph: “That’s the great balance that we try to achieve here and we don’t always achieve it… complete freedom and confidence… comes with responsibility with what wins the games… take bad shots, that’s not respecting the freedom that they’re given… our guys are flame throwers… that’s 1950s stuff, actually more like 1980s, I remember getting yelled at… we had too many bad possessions… could’ve explored the defense.”
• On not calling timeout on the last play of Game 1: “Draymond and Sabonis are lying down… you got Steph curry in a four on four… better than any genius play… after they’ve had a timeout… broken floor situation is always the best way to get a look.”
• On 68% on two-pointers: “Yes. Yes. That’s the balance… that was part of our film session… part of our practice… good to great instead of bad to mediocre.”
• On being able to limit Sabonis and Huerter again: “You always try to limit key players… it never carries over from one game to the next… separate entity… hoping we won’t let Malik Monk get 14 free throws… season average of two-and-a-half… doesn’t mean we’ll limit this guy and that guy… other stuff happens…every game just starts fresh… take care of stuff you can take care of… non-negotiable stuff.”
NOTE: From pregame before Game 2 Golden State Warriors vs Sacramento Kings, held at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, CA. WE WILL GO LIVE WITH GAME 2 GSW-SAC ON MON 4/17 AT 7:00PM PDT TIPOFF.
