QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Mike Brown pregame Game 2 on getting Sabonis different looks: “I thought he had some good looks… they weren’t double-teaming him… then you try to figure something out… one-on-one coverage… go do what he’s gotta do.”
• On the series becoming harder: “They’re the champions, they’ve been through the fire many times… not gonna get rattled… you’re wounded a little bit… how wounded animals are… desperation increases, intensity… don’t want to go down 0-2… rise to what they are which is the reigning NBA champions.”
• On what he tells his team to do to make things difficult for Curry: “You’re not stopping him. He’s a Hall of Famer, changed the game of basketball… try not to foul… fantastic at drawing fouls especially when shooting threes… live with the results.”
• On a chess match vs Steve Kerr: “My partner, her daughter plays in Rolling Hills… I’d rather be in a chess match with her… rather than Steve Kerr… great fun… Steve is first-ballot Hall of Famer… see what we’re made of… that’s no knock to the eighth grade girls team… great coach (laughter).”
• On Wiggins changing the complexion of the series: “unsung hero for us (last year’s Finals)… ability to offensive rebound… magnified by 30, 40, 50… the longer he’s out on the floor… putbacks… could change the series if we let him loose.”
• On helping Keegan Murray: “be aggressive… idk that there’s anyone else around him from the Draft that’s doing what he does… he’s gonna screw up just like we all are… develop a short memory… that’s the one thing they all have in common… missing shots or missing an assignment… make it up next possession… stay present.”
• On defense of Huerter: “when you top block it opens up the floor… other guys have to step up… move the ball if he doesn’t get it… he’s not Steph, he’s not Klay… their gravity creates opportunities for others… with the way that they’re guarding them.”
• On a fan having a tattoo of him in his leg: “it was an honor. Hey, I’m still flabbergasted by it. I hoped my partner would’ve done it… she said if you do it first… one day I’d like to meet him but idk if I’d put my mug on anybody’s body because it ain’t pretty.”
• On getting ahead of the adjustments: “You don’t present it to the guys… be ready… they may do… if all else fails, bring a level of physicality to the game that you’ve never had before, bring a pace that you’ve never had before… don’t wanna give the too many things so that they’re hesitating.”
• On what he tells his team: “They’ve been through everything you can imagine… it’s like boxing or the UFC… I love MMA. When you watch… you have to go take out the champion… keep throwing haymakers because it’s going to be a dogfight… embrace that.”
• On the satisfaction level of winning Game 1: “(Jokes with Tim Kawakami) I’ve learned a lot from a lot of guys: Steve, Bernie Bickerstaff, Rick Carlisle, Tim Gurgich… from Pop is during the regular season that’s when you coach your guys… kick the whole group’s behind, one guy behind… band together and say F you to me… playoffs… gotta support your guys… if we win I’ma love them.”
