QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Mike Brown pays tribute to GSW staff, mentions being in the league 31 years: “I gotta give a shout out to Chef Bert…I was excited to eat this cookie! (smiles)…I wanted you guys to watch me take my first bite…this right here is what I’ve been waiting for.” (me)
• On the cookie: “This is a 9-and-a-half…I drink 1% milk…minus the milk it’s a 9.5.” (me)
• On getting started this season: “I didn’t help them much against Portland down the stretch…I do feel we made steps forward as a staff…we need to trend up more than back.”
• On receiving the ring tonight: He’s got his family here, “Man, starting with Joe Lacob…Bob Myers…Steve Kerr…Draymond and Andre (mentioned those players first before the rest including Steph et al)…this is fantastic for me.” (me)
• On what smoothie he is drinking: “Banana and strawberry..,Bert adds the right amount of honey.” (me)
• On the weird feeling of being a visitor at Chase: “It is weird. This is first time I’ve ever come down the loading dock. I had no clue where the coaches offices were.” (me)
• On what relationship he’d like to have with Kerr going forward: “Hopefully right now it’s to kick his ass…I feel like I’m a 100% better coach because of that man (Kerr)…the stuff that can’t be measured…culture…preparation…you talk about just a good human being…we’ll have a friendship for the rest of our lives.” (me)
• On De’Aaron Fox and first SAC player ever to start off with b2b 30-point games: “You just keep putting him in those situations…he’s stronger and more athletic than what people give him credit for,” also saying he “jumped” Fox for a Paul George dunk, then next time Fox “took the hit in the chest…for me, that right there, was the play of the game…that shows growth…close defensively down the stretch…I know he can score…up there with Ja (Morant).” (me)
• On what he’s learned: “it’s bigger than that (Xs and Os and schemes)…I truly believe you wanna have a sustained winning culture…I’ve been (lucky) to work with two of the best (Popovich and Kerr)…connectivity with the group…off the frickin’ charts…Erik Spoelstra…nobody talks about the Heat Xs and Os…(it’s the) Heat culture.” (me)
• On Keegan Murray: “I’m not sure yet because I’m learning something new about him every day…when we first drafted him I thought he might be a small forward. Then I saw him in Summer League…very very good two-way guy…guard a lot of positions.” (me)
• On bouncing back: “If there’s a pink elephant in the room, I’m just gonna address it…you have to incorporate more free throws in your routine.” (me)
