CHAPTERS/TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 Kerr postgame, checking his phone: “I'm sorry, I'm just checking my fantasy score. Yes, I won! Who’s got the first question?”
0:09 on the young guys: “…doing great job closing games, to win two straight and close ones with clutch play down the stretch, getting stops, getting some hoops, having some good possessions. It's fun to see.”
0:29 on Kuminga’s 17 free throws: “Yeah, I mean, one of the big things that we've talked to JK about is, we're not the most athletic team, we're a very skilled team. But we don't get to the line a ton, near the bottom of the league last year. So if he can attack and get to the rim and get to the foul line, that makes us a better team.
1:01 on if JK (FTP 76%) has a target percentage or if it’s just a mentality: “The mentality. Same with Wiggs. Wiggs got there a lot tonight, which was great. But those two guys can change our team. With their athleticism and their ability to attack and get to the foul line every time we get to the line. Not only is it free points, but you get your defense set up for the next possession. So that's valuable.”
1:26 on Wiggins having a stronger preseason after last year: “Last year was obviously a tough, tough season for him in a lot of ways and he's committed to coming back and having a great year and he's always in a great, great place in terms of his approach, his attitude. Everybody loves Andrew so much. He's a great teammate. If anything, we just need to continue to hammer home the importance of him attacking and being aggressive like he was tonight.”
2:03 on what he liked about Quinones’ performance: “Lester is a really good player. He used all of last year to make a dramatic improvement in Santa Cruz. From training camp last year to now, he's an entirely different player. That's a testament to him, his work ethic, his ability to absorb coaching, and he's put the time in and it shows.”
2:28 on if he’ll crank up the starters minutes: “Yeah. Yeah. We’ll play our starters more minutes. You know, try to get them up closer to 30 minutes and this will be more of a dress rehearsal. So more thorough scouting going into the games and more, I guess, simulations of game day in terms of shootaround and pregame meeting and scout and all that stuff.
3:01 on if both remaining preseason games will be dress rehearsals: “Yeah, not sure about both.”
3:08 on the way Podziemski handled starting in place of Steph: “…he's just really poised. He's got a great feel for the game. He's strong. He makes plays at both ends. So I'm really enjoying watching him play, especially as a young rookie in this league, but he's pretty advanced.”
3:36 Lester Quinones postgame on what he sees from the boxscore
4:21 on the importance of the young guys to get experience in clutch moments: “being tested… when Steve kind of locks in and sees like, ‘Okay, I could trust him in this situation.’”
5:35 on finally getting going in the scoring department
6:18 on if he feels solidified in his two-way spot
6:55 on if his mentality during this preseason is to do the little things: “On the floor with Steph, Klay and Draymond, to not come down and want to hunt for my own shot”
8:24 Moses Moody postgame on the young guys like Brandin and Lester helping to get an overtime win like that, to push them through
8:47 on seeing more of an emphasis by Kuminga and the whole team to get downhill and to the free throw line: “he puts so much pressure on the rim…so when you’re going straight into his chest, it's hard not to foul him sometimes, especially him being so explosive.”
9:14 on if he knew he was starting the second half and Klay would be done: “No, I didn’t until halftime.”
9:21 on making a three right away and the shot feeling good: “Yeah, it did. Just rhythm, flow, what I’ve been working on all summer.” 9:27 on what he’s seen from Podziesmki: “Yeah, I really like his pace. He's been able to put pressure on the rim, attack, and then create, not get overwhelmed when he gets in there, just staying composed. I’m impressed with it.”
9:41 on what’s different with himself: “Composure”
