~TIMESTAMPS/QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
0:00 • Kevon Looney exit interview, day after Game 6, on comparing last season to this: “It’s always harder to go back and do it again. We had a little bit of a different group… a little bit of less experience… guys be in and out of the lineup, didn’t have a time when we were all together… this year was a little bit in and out… tough to bulls that chemistry and camaraderie to win a championship… got the most out of our group.”
1:30 • On what leadership was needed: “A lot more maintenance this year. Last year it was kinda smooth sailing… we had a lot of veterans… they all kinda knew what they were, knew their roles… guys in and out of the lineup… things to deal with this year… building that brotherhood… compete in the second round… rallied together and figured it out but definitely a lot of bumps.”
2:30 • On Jordan Poole’s role changing so much: “Steph was out, Wiggs was out, he’s holding down the fort… can be frustrating… somebody for him to talk to… let him feel comfortable… what the group expects, what Steve expects…”
3:30 • On reflecting on the greatness of the core group: “Not yet. Last year after we won I had a chance to reflect… this year, still fresh, still a sore spot to be put out in the second round… a lot more to give… Steph, Klay and Draymond… what they did in the playoffs was spectacular… a lot more left to give… what I can do to get better… get back to our ultimate goal. Haven’t reflected yet, but I’m gonna take some time.”
5:00 • On the 20-rebound games: “This is what your train for… don’t know if it’s gonna happen… ball is gonna fall your way… peaked at the right time… do more… new standard for myself… perform at a high level.”
6:00 • On this year’s chemistry: “I think we did come together to beat that Sacramento team it took a group effort… our chemistry was really good… I don’t think chemistry was an issue. Sometimes you run up against a team that outplays you, that was better.”
7:00 • On what the roster needs: “still a little too fresh for me… still thought we had enough to win… Bob and Steve’s job to do… experience is gonna help us… grow from this… losing together will take us a long way.”
8:30 • On coming together due to injuries or history: “…guys getting healthy… have more defined roles… guys in and out of the lineup… minutes fluctuating… never really knew what to expect… missing Steph for a long period of time… roles always changing… never got a chance to look at your whole team… younger guys were able to get an opportunity… get better from that.”
10:00 • On last year’s vets having an attitude: “Uh, I wouldn’t say that… in my years prior we had bonafide vets off the bench… can do it with different types of supporting cast… miss some of that basketball know-how… Andre… Otto and Beli… we don’t replace that, it’s kinda tough.”
