WHERE WE KEEP ALL QUOTES: https://LetsGoWarriors.com
QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Darvin Ham on making a motion near Poole when he shot the late three: “I’m not one of those coaches that try to contest the shot… that’s not me, man… waving my players to get up and not give up an open shot.”
• Anthony Davis postgame after Game 1, on what allowed him to be effective: “…being aggressive when I do catch… but it was the guards finding me early which allowed them to play free later on the game.”
• LeBron James postgame on having mental resolve to withstand the Warriors’ 14-0 run: “….we’ve been playing playoff basketball for about two and a half months… punch our card… Golden State… we know how great they are on their home floor.”
• On what adjustments to expect from the Warriors: “It’s gonna be a different game… building will probably be a little bit louder. I’m gonna continue to be aggressive… Draymond likes to help… we’ll see what happens in Game 2.”
• LeBron on walling off the paint, giving up 50 threes: “…they’re gonna get their looks anyway (can’t make mistakes).”
• AD on proving people wrong: “…just go out and play basketball… opinions outside of the locker room… irrelevant.”
• LeBron on Ham: “…we can be an extension of him… calming for him… guys in the floor that have been in the foxhole… make it as seamless as possible with the game plan they’ve given us.”
• On the 14-0 run: “Nah it was never a lack of execution for us… only had 8 turnovers… we just missed some shots… sometimes it’s a make or miss league.”
• LeBron on AD getting 30 & 20: “The Lakers… have always had dominant big men… force at the rim… that’s why their jerseys are in the rafters and AD will be up there when he’s done playing… command the paint defensively, can switch out the guards… treat for Laker Nation.”
• LeBron on winning at Chase for the first time: “…very difficult to win in the postseason. I got a lot of history at Oracle… that Warriors and that GS, those colors haven’t changed, so my respect for them hasn’t changed… look on the other side and see other great players… it’s pretty cool.”
