QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Stephen Curry postgame on calling timeout: “I knew we challenged… we didn’t have any timeouts left. Coach… took the blame… I thought it was the smartest play in the world… heady play but it turned out not to be. I looked over at the bench and everybody was shaking their head… good learning lesson… how important how all those details are. We know it but knowing timeouts, knowing the situation, it was just an unfortunate sequence.”
• On Draymond off the bench and on Fox in Q3: “doing whatever it takes to win, everyone being flexible… from the top all the way to the bottom… being ready to play no matter what the situation calls for… the fact that we know each other so well… pick up right where we left off… credit to our one through fifteen… keep the identity.”
• On shooting his shot at 12 or 10 seconds left: “Always a balance… if I make the floater we’re up three with ten seconds left, you like that… make a stop… I live with that decision knowing D.Fox went for a phantom steal… that’s the nature of the playoffs where I analyze that possession, figure out what I could’ve done differently… play to the buzzer.”
• On going into Game 5: “physicality… bottle that up, take it to Sacramento… the possession game is everything in this series because of the pace… turnovers and offensive rebounds… we know we have to win one in that building… might as well be Game 5.”
• On defending Fox at the end: “being one step ahead… bring to me to the pick and roll…. Keep a body on Fox… probably gonna get a shot off so you wanna make it as tough as possible… felt Draymond on my right side… chase HB off the line. He had a clean look… make or miss league and you just wanna think as much as possible through that ten seconds.”
• On Draymond’s suspension reminding them of their culture: “The reminder was being down 2-0… you lose that, the series is pretty much over… he was a monster on defense… disruptor… that’s exactly how we need to play, everybody just being ready… when they’re called to do it. That’s the only way we get out of this seimess s… the at that were built.”
• On how he managed the 43 minutes with Kerr: “It’s the whole routine and process of how you get ready for games… recovering in between games… maximizing the rest when you’re over there. I know my rotation and most likely when you’re coming out… being prepared to play the whole fourth… would’ve done had the game been closer in Game 3… never conversations if I’m playing too much.”
• On scoring after the Kings went on a run: “It might not look like it but I’m always looking for my shot… me not shooting doesn’t mean I’m being passive… double teams and finding shots for other guys… the more you do that over the course of 48 the harder it is to defend… Klay hit some timely ones… I was able to hit one… be aggressive.”
• On what they did to prevent more threes (one attempt towards the end): “they play a certain style that De’Aaron Fox… super-fast, super-talented… Keegan got off… we need to figure out how to slow that down… making them work, sticking to our game plan… they gained momentum… got hot from three and we know in their building if that happens their crowd really gets into it.”
• On what it feels like when things aren’t going their way, surviving or weird? “Every game is just a different challenge… you know teams are coming at you especially this year… whether it’s self-inflicted wounds… (teams got hot)… maintain our composure and not get too rattled… the way they started the fourth quarter early in the year might’ve wrecked us… Achilles heel… untimely turnovers.”
• On the third quarter energy: “a focus of executing on both ends… pace of this series is crazy but when you get stops you can run… keep them off the free throw line - lot of that was Klay, Klay played amazing that third quarter… and the way we finished that quarter was huge (contrary to this season)… breathing room even though they made their run to start the fourth.”
• On Wiggins having four blocks: “Playoff Wiggs, two-way Wiggs, all the different nicknames… the way that he ca influence games not just shooting the basketball… only his fourth game back… find his legs… endurance… chase D.Fox around all game.”
