• On if Klay is 100%: “So much better than the beginning…whole other level to go…about 90…I feel great, though.”
• On the four-game win streak: “Especially how poorly we’ve been playing on the road…feels free at to give our fans a show. And it feels great to win…weather the storm while some of our players are out. I love it.”
• On crunch time success lately and without Steph: “guys being more familiar with our offense…more poise, got that championship hangover out of the way…Jordan is so poised with the ball down the stretch…enough games under our belt where guys know their roles and what spots to be in.”
• On Draymond: “our anchor. One of the greatest players ever to play basketball…and then he can hit a three…wow, this man can do it all.”
• On what the missing 10% is: “probably getting back to that two-way…right now I’m doing it in spurts…30 to 35 minutes per night…I’ll get there…super-solid come playoff time.”
• On what he needs to accomplish on defense to get to 100%: “Conditioning is the most important part of that and then probably just repetition…I was there in the Finals…a month or two more and I’ll be right where I want to be.”
