QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Steve Kerr pregame Game 1, on the plan for Andrew Wiggins: “None of your business. He’ll play. He’ll play tonight.”
• On the curiosity of the Kings in postseason: “No… we’ve seen them four times this year, watched them on tape a ton, so we know who they are… great respect… there’s a reason we’re on the road.”
• On Wiggins’ preparation: “playing every day, shooting, in the training room, in the weight room, conditioning… all of the above.”
• On De’Aaron Fox’s game translating to the playoffs: “idk how different the playoffs are… a bit of a myth… both teams are gonna be more on top of the other’s actions… both teams wanna play with a lot of pace… I don’t think the game changes that much for anybody.”
• On if there’s an offensive comparison for Kings, from the past: “They look like we did when we had Andrew Bogut… Sabonis, shooting everywhere… ball movement… flow… counter-actions… the puzzle fits. The staff has done a great job of suiting that offense to that talent.”
• On comparison to last year’s vibe: “regular season is behind us… relatively healthy with Wiggs coming back… vibe has been fantastic.”
• On if he has to caution his team on over-confidence: “No… especially starting out on a road… no way you let your guard down… a team you’ve seen four times, won your division… full respect and they’ve earned that.”
• On starting on the road and focusing more: “It’s a different vibe for sure. You sense an opportunity right away… let’s go take one… set a good tone for the rest of the series… doesn’t guarantee anything… at home you gotta hold serve… a little bit of a sense of freedom… let her rip, let’s go get it done.”
• On what he learned in his first playoff experience: : “They had payoff experience… new experiences (were conference finals)… I had to help them get ready for what’s coming, the hoopla… they were tested already (in 2015).”
• On this series being a win-win for Northern California: “Yeah, we don’t care about Northern California. We care about the Warriors… not like we’re gonna be out there with pom-poms and let’s go Kings… if for sure be thrilled for him, but there’s no e of that geographic pride.”
• On expectations for the crowd: “Gonna be awesome… always been an amazing fan base… still a love for basketball (when the Kings weren’t winning)… this place is gonna be rowdy.”
NOTE: From Game 1 Golden State Warriors vs Sacramento Kings, held at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, CA. WE WILL GO LIVE WITH GSW-SAC ON SAT 4/15 AT 5:30PM PDT TIPOFF.
