- On the San Antonio Spurs: "They're so locked in for as close to 48 minutes, that they're more than a capable team."
- On Gregg Popovich: "He's done a lot for me in my personal life, too...He's a close friend, a really close friend of mine."
- On hanging around the Spurs last year: "He's probably changing everything that he did last year to throw me off. What does help more than anything else is David West...He was helpful for us in the last game we played out there."
- On seeing Popovich's evolution last year: "Last time I was an assistant with them was 2003...Thirteen years later, I'm back. To see how he's evolved with today's player...was an interesting experience...He's not the same, but he *is* the same."
- On Patty Mills: "The biggest thing that he does is he moves so well without the ball...He's like the Energizer Bunny rabbit...His juice or his motor is second to none."
- On Spurs' dominance over the years: "The one common denominator is Gregg Popovich."
- On the Spurs' advantage on offensive rebounds over the Warriors in the regular season: "Their smalls do a terrific job...we gotta box out and limit them to one shot."
- On the pace difference compared with the Utah Jazz: "Make or miss, we wanna get out and go. We played a lot of guys all season. None of our guys should be tired...Hopefully we'll be able to push that pace even better than we did against the Utah Jazz."
- On talking to Popovich: "We've talked a couple times."
- On what the Spurs did without Kawhi Leonard in their clinching Game 6 vs the Houston Rockets: "Sometimes when you're missing your 'best player', you can see a little bit of unsured-ness. I didn't feel that at all from the beginning. They were out there playing like they had Tony (Parker), Kawhi -- shoot -- Tim (Duncan) *and* David (Robinson)...ripped Houston apart."
- On being intimidated by Popovich in the playoffs: "Nah, I think I can beat Pop up. He's, like, 70."
- On Mothers Day: "Moms are special to all of our hearts."
