QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Stephen Curry postgame on not having the energy level: “We didn’t execute… idk how it looked on the court… how tough a close out game is and they’re gonna play with a lot of desperation. We just had a lot of mental errors… don’t know if that’s an energy or focus thing… we have to be the team that’s playing with desperation on the road in Game 7… we have a lot of belief… if it is an energy thing that’s something that you can control… embrace the challenge…”
• On how concerned the keys weren’t there: “A loss exposes a lot of things. You go look at the film… you gotta be honest with yourself… we were all on the same page yesterday… just didn’t do it… not concerned at all, just the playoffs presents a lot of challenges… the great teams figure it out. That’s the opportunity that sits front of us… we allowed ourselves at least that… the get-right game… utmost faith.”
• On the Kings going small: “They made some nice adjustments… Fox, Monk, give them space… Keegan got loose early. Huerter got hot late… they pushed those buttons and it worked. You assume… it’s gonna be a similar vibe… you see a little bit of everything. That’s why there’s seven games.”
• On any extra fatigue with the turnaround: “Everybody individually felt great… play with our brains at the same time… not turn the ball over… connect the game a little bit better… whatever was lacking first play of the second half… that’s not pacing, that’s just being connected.”
• On what he would say to Poole: “We need him and he’s more than capable… the biggest thing for all of us is the next-play mentally… don’t be a victim of the last game… growing pains of a playoff experience. We all can play better and we all gotta play better.”
On Houston 2018 Game 7: “Yes and no… every possession is important… think your way through the game… stay locked in on the schemes… competitive spirit. You don’t have to overthink it, either. It’s just basketball… a sense of composure… crowd… stay locked in and composed, but it’s just basketball. Just play.”
• On Monk being the energy guy: “He’s been an X-factor in their wins. When we’ve contained him we’ve come out with the win… lock in on his energy… too many open looks… featured.”
• On his three free throws: “Oh, it happens… nah, it’s basketball and, again, next-play mentally, something I’ve lived by since my days at Davidson… maintain the confidence in your abilities.”
• On if he’ll say anything to the guys: “For sure. But that’s to be expected knowing what’s at stake… make sure everybody’s on the same page… fun 36 hours… mentally, vocally… gotta get our rest…”
• On getting off on the right foot: “Whoever our starting five is, it’s on us to set the tone… accept the responsibility… sense of desperation but also a sense of composure… don’t wanna get too riled up… identity, if we can find that I like our chances, and that’s all you can think about… it’s gonna be fun, embrace it… still got an opportunity to get out of the series.”
