00:00 STEVE KERR, POSTGAME: I thought we played fine. I didn't love the passing, especially in the first half, but we took care of the ball better in the second half. We missed some wide open shooters in the first half and didn't pass them the ball and that disrupted our rhythm and kind of messed with the game a little bit, but overall, I thought we got really good shots. Second half was much better with the ball movement, the flow, and defense was good, so all in all positive outcome, positive effort and a night we're clearly trying to get our rhythm back as a group and I think tonight will lead to that. I think we'll be much better in San Antonio.
00:51 You guys did shoot in the 20% from three tonight. How much of, kind of, what y'all are going through right now offensively is just the fact that you seem like you're kind of in a team-wide shooting slump?
01:01 Yeah, we are and it happens during the year and, like I said, I thought we had really good looks tonight that we didn't knock down, but we can help our shooting with our passing. If we're just unselfishly moving the ball and throwing it to the first open guy, that guy makes the next pass, the shot is more likely to go in. It's a little more open, a little more in rhythm, so we still have to find some rhythm offensively, but like I said, second half, I think we only had two turnovers. Much better, side-to-side ball movement and much better looks. Most of them just didn't go.
01:43 How do you think Steph looked, just from his first game back after missing a couple?
01:47 I thought he looked great. He was moving really well, took care of the ball. I thought Steph played an excellent game. He probably missed his last five or six threes, so the numbers don't look great, but he looked like himself and I think the week off did him a lot of good.
02:05 What'd you make of Jonathan's play tonight? Jonathan.
02:08 Jonathan? Jonathan was good. He gives us the attack to the rim. He got to the foul line eight times, rebounded well, so I thought he had a good night.
02:19 What kind of potential does that two-man game with him and Steph have?
02:23 Yeah, the dive to the rim, when JK sets that ball screen for Steph, puts a lot of pressure on the defense and that was really key tonight. The two of them connected for three or four of those and that was helpful.
02:42 Jimmy, I think, went 1-of-6 from three. It seemed like he was more aggressive taking the jumper tonight. How important is that for him take and, obviously — ?
02:50 Yeah. Yeah, we want Jimmy to attack and he's never gonna be a guy who's gonna just catch-and-shoot. I mean, he's gonna catch and survey and make a play and get to the line and that's what we love about him. That's one of the reasons we've won so much since he's been here, is that we're playing through him and we want him to be himself, so whatever aggressive means for Jimmy, then that's when he's at his best, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's launching shots. It just means he's attacking and creating shots. Thanks guys. That it?

03:29 ...and our guys know how often this happens, where guys are out on the other team and how well everyone else plays 'cause they're getting an opportunity, so we know that's what's coming tonight. They'll play with great energy and all the guys who are getting the minutes are gonna be excited about that, so it's on us to, to bring our own energy and our own execution.
03:55 Do you know on Steph yet?
03:57 STEVE KERR, PREGAME: I expect him to play. What kind of balance are you looking for with regards to isolations with Jimmy and…
