TIMESTAMPS/QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
[some quotes might not be in the right order but the timestamps are generally correct.]
• Bob Myers after Warriors practice, day before Game 3, on Draymond's suspension: "I spoke to Draymond last night about it. Told him that, when he shows up today, it’s got to be about the team and helping them win. It’s not about whether he should or shouldn’t have been suspended, that doesn’t help anyone. ... Once these decisions are made, they’re done.” (Connor Letourneau, Tim Kawakami)
• Myers got a little emotional when asked about the league saying that Draymond's past actions and lack of remorse Monday night affecting this decision. "Well, if you wanted him to get punished, he got punished," Myers said tersely. (Tim Kawakami)
• Myers said when he got the news about Draymond’s suspension, he told Draymond “whatever you have to say, don't say tonight…I'm always one that would tell somebody to sleep on a reaction, and as far as I know, he hasn't said any thing yet.” (Kerith Burke)
• On his reaction to the suspension: “We've been here before ... Once these decisions are made, there's no appellate court. It's over. You can react however you want, but it doesn't change the fact that he's not playing ... it doesn't matter.” (Kendra Andrews)
6:00 • Myers said Draymond cannot be in the building tomorrow when he serves his suspension, per league rules. (Kerith Burke)
• Regarding Draymond’s “history of unsportsmanlike acts” being a factor in the suspension, Myers said “If the league said it played a role, it played a role. Again, these are the decisions they make. We live with them. And that's all we can do.” (Kerith Burke)
8:15 • On if this suspension may have ruined Draymond’s good will he’s built up this season since the punch (9:00): “Each time he’s mis-stepped, my hope is he learns from it and becomes better.”
10:30 • On how Green’s absence will affect the game plan: “Sports is crazy, I don’t know. I believe in the team. … it’ll be fun.” Notes Warriors have won without Draymond before. (Janie McCauley)
11:00 • On his conversations with Steve Kerr and Steph Curry quickly shifting to, "OK, now what are we going to do? Everybody understands that we have a game tomorrow night and we're in the middle of a series, a difficult one and that's the focus… It's gonna be a very telling performance.” (Madeline Kenney, Kate Rooney)
• On Draymond’s character: “The guy's a force, he's unique. He's a leader. But he will tell you that he's made mistakes. You can't hide from them, they're out the for everybody to see. He's got a good heart, he does, I know that, but that doesn't mean he's mistake-free. I'm not. Nobody is… He's as far as I can see a good husband, a good father, those things matter. He's been good to his teammates. He made a mistake with a teammate. I hadn't seen him do anything like that to a teammate before… If you want to talk about what he's done for the organization, that's not up for dispute. Without him we don't probably have any of the championships. But he’s a complicated guy, for sure.” (Janie McCauley)
