PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT (SEE COMMENTS FOR FULL)
00:00 Is this just a completely different series for y'all game planning wise, now that Steph's gonna be out for at least a majority of it?
00:06 STEVE KERR, OFF DAY BEFORE G2-GSW-MIN: Yep. Yep, so we're in that room right now, talking about how we're gonna approach it, what the lineups will look like and it's all part of it. I mean, every year the playoffs are about adapting, whether it's a game plan or an injury or a lineup, so we just have to adapt and we've done this before and we're confident we can do this again.
00:33 How is this news kind of landing with y'all, landing with Steph?
00:36 How has what?
00:37 Does this news, is it landing with y'all, landing with Stephen? Will Steph stay around the team or is he going back to the Bay?
00:43 I assume he's staying here. I mean, we're flying home tomorrow night after the game, anyway. I haven't talked to Rick (Celebrini) about that. We kind of knew last night that he wasn't gonna be playing anytime soon, but obviously we were waiting for the MRI and Rick's assessment and so here we are and it's just up to us to adapt and figure it out.
01:07 What confidence do you gain based on the way that you played after Steph left?
01:11 Yeah, I mean, we think we have the best defense in the league and that's been proven over the last couple months. It's based on defensive efficiency, but also based on our confidence and Draymond behind the play and Jimmy. And we can rely on our defense and we have to generate offense off of our D and then we gotta figure out different ways to attack without Steph.
01:40 Jimmy's been a high-usage player at various points throughout his career, most notably in Miami. Are you kind of prepared to sort of tilt the way you do things toward him, being that the sort of make up for the spacing between or you look at everybody as having to do a little bit more?
01:56 We're absolutely gonna rely on Jimmy like we have when Steph's been off the floor the last couple months. We'd basically run everything through Jimmy in those moments, so he'll take on more responsibility, but we can't just rely on him creating every single shot. We've gotta execute offensively and we've gotta figure out some of the actions that we want to run against.
02:18 To follow up on that, could some of the old film from Jimmy and Miami be valuable to look at in this situation?
02:26 Sure. Yeah, I mean, that was the first thing we did when we traded for him, was we looked at a lot of what Spo (Erik Spoelstra) ran for him. Miami runs a lot of similar actions that we run, so it was already a good fit to start with, but there's no question we have to look at different ways to attack tomorrow and there's a lot of different options, but it's lineup combinations is really, important, who we're putting out on the floor. We've gotta sort through everything.
03:02 Is there anything you can take away from those games in March where Steph missed a few games and it was Jimmy and â ?
03:08 Probably, yeah. We'll probably look at some of that as well, but again this stuff, it generally comes down to the energy, the spirit, how hard you play and then stepping up and making some shots and you can't, at this point, change a whole lot about who you are. You just have to play and go out there and get it done.
03:35 What did you think about Brandin's game last night?
03:38 Brandin? I thought Brandin was great. It wasn't his night offensively. He made his first three and then I know didn't make much after that. I think Steph's injury, they put McDaniels on him quite a bitâŚ
