04:06 You mentioned Kuminga playing kind of the way y'all need him to. You haven't had him in this specific role, really, since Jimmy's been here. How significant does he bump up, maybe, what you guys can be if he can do that, specifically?
04:20 Yeah, I mean, I just think that with his talent, his ability to get us some easy baskets and, if you can rebound like he did tonight, it's huge for us and I think every game is going to be different and every game, we just have to figure out what we need to do to win. And that's his job. It's every player's individual job and it's our job collectively to do that, to figure it out and to go do it. And that's what I'm really enjoying watching right now is just the collective sense of, just win. Just go out and win and nothing else matters.
05:00 Stephen, LeBron performing again at the top level. Just what's it like to be a part of these matchups for the last ten years now?
05:05 Pretty special to watch those guys and watch watching them this summer as teammates gave me an even greater appreciation for their greatness and, really, how much alike they are in terms of their work ethic, passion for the game, respect for the game and respect for each other. So these are pretty incredible matchups and we should all savor them while they're still happening.
05:32 Coach, speaking of Steph Curry, 52 points two nights ago after taking a really bad fall that ended up not being much, but just to watch him, once again, do it this time of year in April, down the clutch, being the leader. Just speak to like, what it means to have a guy like that leader in franchise.
05:47 Just never gets old watching Steph play basketball. He's just such a beautiful athlete. The fluidity, the beauty of his motion, the skill, the confidence. It's something to watch and we get to do that every night, so we're very lucky.
06:04 Steve, the point you made about Jimmy, big picture, but you specifically on the dynamic with him and Steph, beyond the talent, why has it been such a perfect fit right from the jump between those two?
06:14 Well, Jimmy is, he is a great, great, all-around basketball player. He does everything well and he makes winning plays over and over again. And he's interesting to watch because he doesn't jump out of the gym, he doesn't rain three-pointers and he's not an obvious superstar. You have to watch him for a little bit. I know, seeing him for a couple of weeks when he got here gave me a much greater appreciation than I had for him before, because you realize how big of an impact every single solid play that he makes, makes on us. I mean, the impact is dramatic and he's got this great presence. I mean, everybody in the gym knows who he is and, how good he is and so he's given us a lot of bravado and confidence and, as I said, he's just made everybody else a lot better.
07:09 Is it the plan to play all your veterans tomorrow?
07:11 Oh yeah. Yeah.

07:15 LEBRON JAMES: I mean, I've been a part of them making big acquisitions to change their dynamic of their team before. I've had to go against them when they added Kevin Durant, so I mean, Jimmy is, he's great and he adds a toughness to him. He adds a championship DNA type of guy, but it's always the same. They always figure it out. They always add somebody to the mix.
07:46 I have no idea (how the Warriors will do). I can't answer that question. I gotta…
