00:00 As much as you can or would like to, could you just describe the team meeting last night, what Draymond said, just kind of the setting of it and how influential you felt it was?
00:17 STEPH CURRY, POSTGAME G7-GSW-HOU: It was just a level of awareness that matters at this stage of our careers and this stage in a playoff series that was going our way, then got away from us and comes down to a Game 7 where it's all about just what can you control, going into a Game 7, that'll give yourself the best chance to win a game on the road and educating a lot of guys that haven't been in this situation before on what to expect and what wins in this environment. And he started, Draymond started with himself just talking about having a level of poise and composure. I talked about some of the stuff we can control, that don't necessarily show up on the stat sheet, like taking care of, well, that does, taking care of the ball, but like not missing box outs, not getting blown by, mental drive, stuff like that, game plan discipline. And Jimmy talked about just breathe confidence in everybody, so it's just a matter of getting everybody on the same page going into a hostile environment.
01:29 Steph, now that the series is over, is there anything that you could tell Jalen to help him going into the off season, coming out of his first playoff series like this?
01:41 Every opportunity at this stage is a learning experience. I don't know what goes on in their locker room or what he is asked to do or how they talk, so I stay in my lane on that, but there's always a chance to come back stronger, better, use the off season to be honest with yourself on what you need to do to get better. We all go through that journey in your career. Losing sometimes can make you better, so you just don't let it knock your confidence.
02:11 Steph, he was their leading score coming into series. How were y'all able to slow him, slow him down, and make things difficult for him?
02:19 For who?
02:20 For Jalen. He was their leading scorer. How were y'all able to slow him down and make things difficult for him?
02:27 I think it was just game plan discipline. They have a lot of threats out there and, again, they were the 2-seed for a reason 'cause they had a certain style that their defense fed on, fed into their offense a lot, but for him specifically it wasn't anything outta the ordinary, just he demands attention, so you want to try to send bodies at him as much as possible. Fred got hot those two games. That really got them kind of settled and he was a legit scorer for them. Obviously, Sengun's gonna do what he, what he does, but if you don't let them have easy baskets, then you try to kind of feast on a little bit of inexperience. But you never know how it's gonna go.
03:24 Steph, y'all played the Rockets 12 times this year between the regular season and the postseason and probably every time you've been asked about their defense, but now that this season is over with, can you speak to the uniqueness of the challenge that they face and the adjustments you had to make from game to game, going against them?
03:41 Every game was so different, all 12 of them. I mean, from the rotations to the score, it was low scoring for a majority of 'em. Then it became a shooting fest and this game was kind of like back to that pattern of a low scoring, just defensive, physical, tough grinding out type of game. So it was — I can only speak for myself in the way that that..
