TIMESTAMPS/QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
0:00 • • More Jordan Poole postgame, on catching a rhythm as a passer too, or a play-maker: “I guess.”
• On if anything has changed: “No. I knew you’d ask that. I’m doing the same thing I normally do.”
• On having a more patient approach: “Nah.”
• On if there is a switch that he turns on: “It’s a different type of basketball in the playoffs. I was able to experience that last year. Everybody needs to hit the switch just because it’s a different level. You kinda got to amp it up… older guys, they kinda already know that… yeah, sure.”
• On if the stakes being higher amps him up more defensive: “everything is just so important… play call, decision-making… you like living up to those moments… rise to the occasion… when we’re locked in like we were, we’re a really special team and hard to stop.”
• On if he got into Maxey’s head: “Nah. I just be out there hoopin’ bro, tbh.”
• On expanding on using the word slander in the postgame on-court: “Nah, y’all know what it is. Y’all know what’s good. Good win. Big win. Got it done on both ends of the floor. Got another game in a couple days.”
3:03 • Doc Rivers
8:34 • Tyrese Maxey
12:57 • Joel Embiid postgame (audio only)… ON THE BIGGEST ISSUES DOWN THE STRETCH: “I mean the way that we started the fourth, you know we weren't as physical as we were the first three quarters you know we let them get going, especially Poole (Jordan Poole) they made a lot of tough shots and they broke us down and then that set the tone for the rest of the fourth, but you know we uh, whatever.”
ON MOVING FORWARD FROM THIS GAME: “Yeah I mean for sure but you know you also missing James (Harden) and a couple of key guys you know that could have helped but we felt it especially against Golden State you can't just you can’t give them a bunch of looks, they are hot at any time like I said we gave them confidence at the start of that fourth quarter and they just ran away with it so yeah, so yeah doesn't matter playoff or not against a team like that's won a couple of championship you always got to be on edge.”
ON HOW HIS CALF FEELS: “It’s okay, a little sore but whatever got to keep managing it to see how it feels tomorrow and you know the next few days. It's all about making sure I'm healthy for playoffs so whatever that gets me there healthy, that's what we are going to do.”
ON HOW MUCH A HIGH-SCORING GAME PLUS DEFENDING TAKES OUT OF HIM: “It’s tough you know when you got to do a lot offensively, and then defensively you also got to do a lot, whether it’s protecting the rim, edging and you know helping all over the place, especially against a team at that end that moves the ball, that makes your defense get in rotations all the time it's tough but that’s my job and I love it. Tonight could have been better but you know we kinda went away from what was working at the start, and when I came back in the fourth quarter you know I didn't go get the ball as much as I did when I can back in so that’s on me and defensively I wasn't as good as I should have been.”
18:09 • Kevon Looney postgame… 20:20 one offensive rebound away from tying Robert Parish at 10th on the all-time franchise list for the Warriors.
