WHERE WE KEEP ALL QUOTES: https://LetsGoWarriors.com
QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Mike Brown pregame Game 3, on guarding against being overly confident or sensing a letdown: “You don’t. You talk about it ofc but if we’re over-confident we’re gonna get our behind handed to us because these guys are multiple champions… play the game as best we can for 48 minutes and hope to get a win on their floor.”
• On if he got more Gucci shoes: “I’m gonna do this even though I don’t have a deal with him (puts foot on table and shows his shoes)… I’ve been rocking the Vans… I appreciate it, Vans… he wears Vans from six, seven years ago. Soon as I get a cuff I got a new pair on.”
• On having an advantage coming from the Warriors like Gruden did with Tampa Bay: “I don’t think it does… they have a really really great advanced scout in Scotty… they know my tendencies too… can we go out there and execute it for 48 minutes?… it’s more that than anything else… come playoff time everybody knows everything about each other.”
• On Mitchell vs Steph: “they do a good job of moving Steph around… pick and rolls and coming off a lot of screens… defensively the effort that he has to give all the time… not the same as when somebody has to guard him… as much as we can we’re gonna put Fox on somebody else… junk up the game… hope that he has to try a little bit harder to make shots… Davion is doing about as good a job… Steph still had 28… you don’t stop hall of Famers like Steph.”
• On how he feels about Draymond’s past being factored into the suspension: “You gotta talk to the league about that… I have no idea what they’re thinking or what’s behind it so you’d have to ask the league.”
• On maybe going zone having to do with the Warriors pushing harder on offense: “You sit back and try to guess… we feel they’re probably gonna play Jordan Poole, Wiggs, Steph, and Klay… Gary Payton might play some… get shots up… Steve is a guy that’s a great motivator… think outside the box.., turn it into a track meet… we feel like we’re prepared to go against or attack either one, but the game still has to be played.”
• On Keegan Murray: “chance to restart… clean slate when that jump ball goes up… to win four games in any series is very hard… you never feel out of it when you think of it that way and most good teams do.”
• On the Chase crowd tonight: “It’s gonna be tough. It’s gonna be a dogfight… they’re gonna really behind Draymond which they should… tough as nails to try to get a win.”
• On Harrison Barnes: “He’s our vet. He and Delly… their leadership is off the charts.”
• On rebounding so well now versus during the regular season: “We emphasized it. We have what we call crash zones… our crash zone rate during the regular season was pretty high, we just weren’t getting our hands on the ball…aggression.”
• On being poised: “I’ve said it a hundred times… they have a huge advantage when it comes to tough moments… we can only tell them what to expect… your parents can tell you one thing when you’re younger… go through it three, four times… to get over the hump… give a lot of credit to our players first and also to our staff… diverse… even guys like Bobby Jackson… Christie… Barbosa.”
