PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT (SEE COMMENTS FOR FULL):
00:00 Gary, how would you describe andrew's impact tonight?
00:09 GARY PAYTON II: Loud. He was loud today. He was ultra-aggressive. Every time he got it, he was just in go-mode. And it's good to see that Wiggins, Andrew Wiggins again.
00:23 Two-part question for you. How was it in those moments when you were guarding Jordan Poole and to why did you untie his shoe at the free throw line?
00:32 It's always fun playing with Jordan, against Jordan. I was with him all summer, so we've been at it all summer. So now it's time to go to work. It makes it even more fun, but I'm just messing around, trying to have fun. That's it.
00:47 Gary, what if I were to tell you that in the locker room Jordan said you were hacking all night?
00:52 Yeah, I'm sure that's what the rest of the league says, too, but it's okay. They can't call every foul. So you don't like it, don't go get the ball.
01:00 What kind of led to your success in the third quarter, though? It feels like you guys came out of halftime with a newfound energy.
01:05 Yeah, we just — we know what we lacked in the third quarter coming out, punching first and that's what we did, down Draymond. And we had to feel that that presence. So everybody stepped up and was ultra-aggressive and we came out and mathe him call the first time out.
01:22 When Moses is at the 4-spot, what kind of look does that give you guys?
01:27 Small ball, like we've been playing for a while. Moses can do a lot of things that bigs can do. He's a big body, goes in there and fights for rebounds, 50-50 balls. So when Steve puts him in, he knows he's gonna get a fight from Moses. Oh, you guys are great.
01:48 What changes for you when you're playing the 4-spot?
01:53 MOSES MOODY: Not much. Defensive-wise, who I'm guarding can change. But on the offensive side, a lot of times we got four-out anyway, so the 3 or 4 is interchangeable.
02:04 For you, what are the keys to guarding up, guarding bigger positions?
02:07 Play big. So it's a lot of, like, small stuff. You gotta touch people. You gotta bump people. They coming through the lane, they gotta feel your presence, especially the undersized big. So it's just getting in there. I get that from Loon, just saying, like, they gotta feel your presence, even when it's not — like, obviously, when you get posted up or whatever, you gotta stand strong, but even even in the middle of things.
02:30 We've kind of been having this conversation off and on for years, but like especially Draymond may miss some time, Jonathan's out, do you feel like some path to some playing time right here is coming up?
02:41 We — that's part of the NBA, different things, different scenarios, guys come in, guys come out. So as we was talking about in the beginning of the year, just the depth of the team. This is when that shows, this is when you need that. So everybody being able to step up and fill in the roles that we need.
02:56 He was kind of mentioning you playing the 4 when you're on offense, what do you feel like is especially in that spot, like, what do you feel like you need to do? Is it crash some? It does feel like you're crashing the glass a little bit more.
03:08 Yeah, well, it's really just, like I say, the 3, 4, 2 is all interchangeable a lot of times, on our team. So it's really similar within the…
