QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
0:00 • Kyrie on Durant from Nets postgame 12/18 at Detroit: “I don’t take it for granted…performances like this on a continual basis.”
6:15 • On seeing Steph and Klay: “Hey Steph, please get healthy brother…Anytime we get a guy back in our league that has been through a journey that a lot of people don’t necessarily know about behind-the-scenes, how much it takes, how much sacrifice it takes to put your body, your mind, your spirit through all the rigors he had. Sitting on the sidelines, going through every emotion with something that you love to do as a living. It’s a job for us, it’s work, but we love to do it, especially the ones that separate themselves. Klay’s one of those who always wanted to separate themselves from the league. He’s a great winner. He’s a team player and he has an edge about him that pushes his opponents. For us and this brotherhood that we have, as well as the sisterhood, we believe that anybody that’s coming back from an injury and they haven’t been back for two years, we gotta give them grace, we give them patience. And we give them a lot of confidence, whether we’re going against him or not. So I’m always appreciative when we can go against guys that have been through bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain. He has, winning a championship the way he did. And as you can tell, just how long-winded this answer is, I love him and just want to see him do well. So for him to come back to Brooklyn and play against us and me going against him, a fellow number 11 as well, it feels good. But when we step on that court, you know it’s all competition.”
12:20 • (Nothing Warriors-related but included for the Diehards of DubNation) Kevin Durant on if this is the best stretch he’s had in his career: “Mentally I understand the game a little bit more. I’m not too surprised by anything that’s thrown at me. I could say I’m on a different level mentality-wise than I was as a younger player…I’m having fun, I’m knocking down some shots right now…I try not to compare.”
• (Not in this video) Dillon Brooks postgame on if he was disappointed to hear that Stephen Curry won’t play on Christmas: “I got Klay. I like that matchup better because he was talking a little smack when we lost, I’ll just show him what type of defense I got.“ (Damichael Cole)
