WHERE WE KEEP ALL QUOTES: https://LetsGoWarriors.com
QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Klay Thompson postgame Game 2, on what they did well: “We applied what we watched on film. Shout out to JaMychal Green… knockdown shooter and a rugged defender… professional…”
• On being pissed after G1: “I didn’t play well… let my guard down. We let one slip away but we did our job tonight… go to LA with the same mindset… physical defense, ball-sharing…”
• On being jazzed up: “moments you work for… short moments of euphoria and that flow state make all those hard days more than worth it… even better when you couple that with a win.”
• On the same stats as 2017 vs Cavs: “I had no idea. That feels like an eternity ago. It’s still weird seeing LeBron as a Laker… the Michaels, Kobes… bring out the best in you… an honor to matchup against the greats but it’s not us against LeBron James, though… at 38, incredible and inspiring for athletes everywhere.”
• On if he felt he needed to play extra: “Not really. I just try to play within myself and I told myself that… at my best when I’m running around screens… cutting hard… we go as he goes (Steph and his 12 assists).”
• On playing the next two in LA: “I’m gonna be myself… hunt great shots… from a life standpoint it’s such an incredible experience. I would go to Staples as a high school basketball player with my pops just dreaming… excited to do it in a building where all my hoop dreams came about… so much respect for the opportunity… huge Kobe fan… play my hardest just to honestly honor him and Gigi… his tenacity…”
• On helping defend the attacks of the Lakers: “I can still use my size and defensive positioning… sticking with the game plan… staying within the flow of the offense and hunting great shots…”
• On Draymond: “That’s the Draymond that we love… being 6’7 250… he’s our Swiss Army knife… we go as Dray goes.”
• On what he said when he screamed after the euphoric three: “…sometimes… things just come about… I as saying something along the lines of I’m the One and a few cuss words…”
• On playing with more force to make it harder for AD: “Draymond can matchup with anybody… quick feet for his size… pest… it’s a tall task… trust him to continue to try and slow him down.”
• On how he prepared for G2: “relaxed a little bit more… tonight I just let it come to me and I told myself to stay patient and it paid dividends.”
• On if he’ll take another dip in the ocean like 2019: “…I’d… not so June gloomy… something about getting in the Pacific Ocean and body surfing… mental and spiritual being. I’m a true believer in the power of the ocean and all her healing properties.”
NOTE: From Golden State Warriors postgame after Game 2 vs LA Lakers, held at Chase Center in San Francisco, CA. WE WILL GO LIVE NEXT ON SAT 5/6 FOR G3 LAL-GSW AT 5:30PM PDT TIPOFF.
