Warriors/76ers Postgame, Steph, Kuminga, Draymond Coach Kerr Reaction | Jan 30, 2024

Ste when did you know that clay was going to be out and how did that obviously it affected the rotations did you have to do a drastic change to what you were planning uh not a drastic change I found out about an hour before the game uh yods texted me and Clay

Wasn’t feeling well so um pretty easy choice to put Brandon in with that group and um and then obviously that bumped up um you know Lester and he got some some minutes and and Cory Joseph played um you know behind BP and so everybody uh

Stepped up and and did a good job you got 47 combined from Wiggins and kaminga how how different does this team the dynamic of this team feel now that those two pretty clearly can play together yeah yeah I mean Draymond really uh change things with his return because he

Connects those guys uh at both ends of the floor just with his uh communication defensively and then the way he helps get us organized offensively so um great to see wigs and JK both uh playing uh so well and playing um playing well together and uh it’s fun you you can see

The team is um we’re shifting a little bit you know with the look uh how we’re playing and and who we’re playing and um that tonight I know Philly was short-handed but I thought it was a really good defensive effort uh from our guys I was going to ask about that how did

You feel about overall about your defense it’s yeah a lot of lot of second efforts um you know some deflections some loose balls uh JK do on a loose ball uh fourth quarter that led to a layup and a timeout I thought that was a

Key play um I thought wigs was um was everywhere um Raymond put the box score from the Laker game the other night up here so I don’t know exactly what happened um in tonight did we win okay thanks um Brett win would have had the

Right um box score up here but you know that’s I just got to live with the guy that that’s here uh with with Andrew uh in particular on the offensive end of the floor what’s clicked for him the last couple games and what are you liking

About the looks he’s getting I I think wigs has been better for about a month we saw it with his defense with his movement um but I think what’s happening now the last few games as oh thank you Raymond better late than never um I just think wigs is uh

Wigs his defense um has been good like I said for a month or so but offensively um with the lineup change there’s a little more space um the way we’re playing and and um we’re able to play a little bit faster and um the way we’re

Playing and and um we’re able to play a little bit faster and he’s you can see he’s getting downhill getting to the rim he’s doing some things that are very comfortable for him so he’s really starting to get into a good Groove you said you’re doing some different things

Just generally is it maybe a little more isolation certainly kaminga had the ball up top yeah and dribbling these are things you’re folding into what are the changes well it’s it’s more uh where people are on the floor um you know we’re we’re we’re playing uh more with

With one big um you know and spreading the floor um so you know if JK is playing the four um that’s different than you know if if it’s Lun and Draymond together um so we’re getting more spacing more um ability to attack from different spots on the floor and um

Just trying to keep it really simple offensively and and the guys are doing a good job you know kind of playing off of Step how much Freedom does he have to dribble it three four you know you’re not a huge dribble guy I know I mean how

Much Freedom are you giving him okay you got a you got your guy so go ahead and feel your way to the basketb yeah I mean we’re we’re giving him lots of uh minutes and and with the minutes um you know comes um uh production and mistakes and and we’re

Just trying to U you know help him understand um that if he can continue to to produce by sprinting the floor and getting you know getting uh those buckets in the paint um that we’re willing to live with some some of the defensive mistakes and and stuff that

He’s um you know going to get better and better with I think he’s really been uh much better defensively um in terms of game plan discipline with more minutes and and uh so JK’s playing playing well playing hard and it’s really fun to see him uh starting to grow Steve looking at

Where Wiggins has gotten to how uh how uncanny was his performance you know at the lowest point like we we’ve seen him win a championship but he just looked like a different player like looking back on it how did you process that yeah I think it was it felt like a perfect

Storm in a lot of ways um you know we had multiple guys uh struggling at the same time and it wasn’t just um individual struggle I mean if you have multiple guys it affects the team’s Rhythm and and we just couldn’t get much going uh early in the season and and um

It just feels like he’s in a good good Rhythm now and he’s you know he’s um he’s been doing this for a long time um and he’s had a lot of ups and downs in his career but he’s always been a a big- time scorer and um so I think um it’s

Fun to to see him rounding into form because you know he took a lot of flak early on and um went through a rough patch there so it’s wigs is kind of everybody’s favorite guy in the locker room he’s such an incredible human being and just a a kind soul and everyone

Roots for him and and um it was tough you know watching him struggle early in the season but this a great group and they support each other and I think one of the ways Draymond is really helping thing is is he he lifts wigs up and he

Lifts JK up he he’s um’s kind of their hype man you know like he he makes them feel good about things and it’s hard to do that when you’re not playing it’s much easier to do it when you’re actually on the floor so draymond’s presence is changing things in a lot of

Ways Steve what what does Dario do so well as to when he comes in to to playmake to create opportunities he had seven of your 32 assists and and Trace also gave you some really key minutes and and some of those put backs that you were talking about Dario generates a lot

Of offense for us because of his postup ability and um you know that fourth quarter you know we went to him three or four times on the Block and and uh he generated switches and then they had to react and he made beautiful passes and

Uh so dorio is one of our best shot creators and um I thought he was great tonight you know he didn’t make a basket but like you said seven assists and and generated a lot of offense for us um you were just talking about how Draymond influences like JK and he

Credits a lot of his growth and Improvement uh to Draymond do you think that mentorship uh is it’s obviously great for for Jonathan but for the younger guys do do you see that and think you know it can be good for some of the other guys like the second year

Younger guys one of the things I Love About Dre is he he um respects uh the process of um you know becoming an NBA vet and what it takes and he talks a lot about how um Germaine O’Neal um Carl Landry those guys really helped him when he first came in the

League and you know he’s trying to trying to pay it forward and and um he wants he wants These Guys these young guys to succeed and have the same kind of um success that he’s had um but he knows you know it requires veteran leadership and mentorship and he’s been

Great with that this year there was a specific play late where you know nurse doubled staff about two and a half minutes ago he kicked it over to kaminga and it was just kind of right to the rim because they doubled Off K is that you know really where you see his impact

Especially offensively for you where like you know a lot of teams do that and maybe you didn’t have the downhill where he’s really giving you for sure for sure JK’s giving us um a lot of easy baskets and and um you know the difference now um from the beginning of the Season till

Now is dramatic in terms of his awareness of spacing and how to get those angles to get those hoops and um so the the more minutes he plays um you know the the the better he’s getting and um and there’s no question like that just the the transition Hoops the um the

Buckets in the paint where he there’s a loose ball or whatever or somebody drops it to him um we don’t get a lot of those uh so he he his ability to generate those easy points is huge coach uh tonight kaminga and Wiggins both had three steals each this

The first time the Warriors have done that in a game with two players since last year with curry and P you play with Jordan and Pippen what’s it like having two guys who can strangle out of defense and what’s the impact on the teams morale I mean that’s um that’s a a huge

Part of NBA basketball is having wings who uh can generate some some Havoc create some turnovers um you get out in transition and helps your offense um so it’s um it’s been fun to watch uh the last last week or two watch kaminga and Wiggins together and feeding off each

Other and playing well whereas you know early in the year they struggle together thanks you guys Kerr mentioned to us that uh definitely playing a little differently there’s been some you know maybe some adjust what how do you feel maybe the offense has changed a little bit over

The last week or so I mean uh uh I just feel like uh pretty much everybody engaged as not just getting the ball but everybody just locked in and just uh trusting every call uh making sure uh we run every call the right way and I feel like that just kind of

Helping us and just more spacing and stuff like that just help us to uh really try on every offense and stuff like that uh You’ mentioned how much Draymond has sort of been in your ear and by your side and Steve also mentioned how much he’s hyping you and

And Andrew Wiggins up how would you describe what it’s like when he’s hyping you up I mean um it’s always great to have the the leader uh of the team uh giving you guys that type of confidence and it’s not like we lost it it’s it’s just the every other day no

Matter if we have confidence or not he’s always there always uh hying me out me and wigs at the same time to just tell us to keep going no matter what you had nine more makes in the restricted area today uh how much of that is the spacing that

You’re talking about how much of it is just kind of a concerted effort to get to the rim I just more focusing on uh getting to the rim every time uh and obviously just every other day just working on my touches and because you could get there you don’t know what to

Do because the end day there’s going to be a defender or not that’s just working on my touches and just focusing on getting every at a time uh cuz like we always said we got so many shooters and having those type of Shooters help you with the spacing and you don’t need to

Take a shot because the uh the floor is spread out do you feel like your you’re getting more freedom to kind of explore a little bit offensively I mean uh definitely for sure um and I’m not taking that for granted cuz uh it’s just a it’s a situation that I’m me now where

They give me that type of trust to do certain things and uh just looking forward to expand even more uh and that comes with me doing the right thing to have my coaches trust me I think you got 39 minutes tonight it’s been pretty regular you know 30s now um how

Comfortable are you starting to feel that you know you know you have a role on a nightly basis that is really about 30 minutes plus every night I mean it’s always uh I always feel like I have a role I mean just a matter of fact of

Just getting better every other day and as much as I get better as long as they going still trusting me and giving me those type of minutes and I’m not just going to go out there and just do things that I’m not supposed to do and expect

To play 30 minutes just go out there and give all I got and obviously they just see and they trust me and just give me those minute when you got your technical it was Draymond who was coming over to kind of calm you down did you register that I

Got Draymond over here trying to calm me down I mean uh it was just to find a way that I got a take I mean I kind of just wave it off cuz he was I was I was trying to explain to him I keep getting fouled every other time

And he didn’t want to listen to me uh and just seeing Draymond being on my side that just motivate me more just keep up the same energy you’re looking more aggressive per game showing a lot of confidence especially on a fast break when you when

You dunk what areas of your game do you feel like you’re most comfortable and what areas you think that you want to improve I mean I’m most confident uh like I always say uh I’m more of a guy who attack the ring most of the time

And I just want to get more confidence just uh making those three when I’m wide open and I feel like I’m working towards it uh every other day and at some point they all just going to fall in thank you Dron clearly they’re they’re going with you kaminga and Wiggins for big

Stretches uh what’s your role in that and and how do you think that’s working I think it’s working good um you know uh the the speed and athleticism out at that Unit H lot of interchangeable parts um defense uh great length I think it’s it’s going well for us um and then the

The level that both of those guys are playing that um which is what allows it to work so got to give those guys a lot of credit uh for me it’s just about being an anchor on the defensive end uh when you got JK and wigs Hawking the

Ball you know it’s important that they feel comfortable with the defense that’s behind him so um you know it’s on me to make sure I’m talking and then also uh making sure that the ball is moving around um in that unit uh you know at

Times uh you know we sometimes get a bit stagnant and so just making sure everybody’s getting involved on the offensive end and taking advantage of the weapons that we have out there there there was a play with about 2:30 left where you know they were getting kind of

Desperate late but they doubled off coming at Steph at half court threw it over to JK and he he went to the rim um what has he giving you in that aspect is just downhill attack increases and making it so it will be more difficult

For teams to do stuff like that um I mean uh he’s the way he’s attacking the basket I don’t think there’s anyone that can stop him from getting to his spot so at times I go at him a little bit about you know like you took the three and that’s

Fine I don’t mind you taking a three but can somebody stop you from getting anywhere you want to go you know and um you know just challenging him and and then also building trust uh and so he know that you know no matter how it’s

Going we trust him and we got his back and uh you know when he’s attacking the basket like he is there’s not many people in this league that can jump with him see how shocked he was when KJ blocked his shot um there’s not many people that’s doing that and so uh when

You’re double teaming Steph and all those things and he’s getting downhill like that uh it’s a it’s a tough matchup for anybody Dre you’re shooting it really well from Deep this year over 40% I guess going into the year or throughout the year have you been doing anything different preparation wise with

Trav or with Jacob uh with your shooting or you know just talk a little bit about how you’ve been shooting this year and why you think you’ve been shooting it so well uh I think um you know obviously you know every summer I work you know so I’m not going to sit here

And say oh man I work this summer like we work every summer I don’t think there’s many people that work harder than me in Travis Works um but I think you know it started with building the confidence and then just trusting it um catching the ball in Rhythm and shooting

It you know for so many years I sto shooting in Rhythm and then you know you catch it you wait you look you look you look and then all of a sudden you shoot it’s no rhythm to that shot you know and so I think for

Me um catching the ball in Rhythm being confident in the shot uh and then it also helps when your teammates and your coaches are confident in it as well and um you know for me that that was huge and then uh I did a lot of meeting with Greg

Um on our staff just about my shooting and and the the thought process behind it you know because a lot of times it’s it’s it’s very mental uh sometimes more mental Than Physical you know and so uh I did a lot of work on the mental aspect

Of it as well you know and just trusting my shot and knowing that um like forget the shot make the right play you know and I think for me you know that was great for me you know to look at it through a different lens and

Know you know it’s been working for me Draymond uh the guys were uh really excited anticipating your return um because you’re you’re like you’re the floor General um so in in your mind and I know you can’t fix things overnight what do you see that’s improved since

You’ve been back and what still needs work moving forward uh I think you know um we can we can be better turning the ball over I thought we had some some Carol turnovers tonight uh especially early on in the game um being more consistent on the defensive end I think

We’re starting to fly around on that side of the ball but being more consistent uh rebounding the ball uh better you know we got off to a terrible start rebound I’m not sure what it what what was the final dang we actually ended up out rebounding but you know I think they had

Seven offensive rebounds in the first six minutes of the game you know and so cleaning that up and then uh making sure that we’re organized on on the offensive end you know um you know that’s what I try to bring to this team just making sure the right guys are getting the ball

In the right spots um a lot of that obviously falls on Steph you know who has the ball but you know when I do have the ball just trying to direct traffic get guys in the right spots and situations um actions that I know would be successful for us and it’s been you

Know it’s fun I think it’s starting to come together for us now we just got to put some win strength and wins together Dre you guys have gotten the most we’ve ever seen out of Andrew Wiggins lead with a championship and then he just you

Know he had a rough patch where he kind of looked like a player we never seen before what do you think of how he’s kind of climbing his way back and regaining his form and and what has been your I guess advice to him while he’s

Tried to find his way back uh my advice to him is you’re damn good at basketball um you know people are going to talk they’re going to say this they’re going to say that but you’re very good at this game you know and trust in that you know know

That you know you have our trust you know so it’s not that you know the the the lack of trust isn’t coming from from inside this locker room so who cares what anybody else thinks uh what we need is an aggressive Andrew Wiggins um looking to get

Downhill uh raising up to shoot the ball with confidence and he’s been and he’s been doing that um you know there was never a doubt for me on what level he can play at uh we know what he’s capable of and it’s just about getting back to that

You know I know what it’s like to struggle with confidence all of a sudden you hit a rough patch and confidence start to Wi I know what that feels like you know and so uh you just try to be for him what you’d hope somebody would be for you when you’re struggling with

Your confidence and you know that’s what I try to do um always bring that positive reinforcement it’s not just me you know uh Jacob ruin is in his ear all day every day you know um and just trying to pull out of him what we know

Is there and and then Wiggins has taken the onus on himself to to be more aggressive to put the work in uh and you know the the res are showing for him so we you know we just need to make sure that he keep playing with that same

Aggression Draymond um typically in the past you playing at the center has always been one of um the top lineups but Steve has always tried to kind of limit your minutes at the five it seems like right now you guys are leaning into that a lot are you do you feel comfort

Aable with with the remainder of the Season like being able to you know play more minutes at the five cuz people do talk a lot about you guys being an older team yeah um I’m comfortable I’ve always felt comfortable playing the five um not every night do I have to battle with

Joel andb you know or Anthony Davis or Joker um so you know there’s obviously those guys that you know um present a different challenge than most you see around this league uh but you know we we we kind of don’t have the space to not go to what we feel

Is best uh you know we’re 20 and 24 after tonight so got to roll with what you think is the best lineup and right now that lineup has been working for us so you know uh we have to as players make sure um we continue doing the things that’s making that lineup

Successful uh piggy backing off Marcus’s question what’s been your approach to hyping up or me mentoring kuminga as he sort of and earlier in the season struggled with his role and and now getting more minutes getting more of a role how have you been in his ear and helping him

Uh you want to know what I tell her there’s nobody in the world that can stop you and then he believe it and he go and show that there’s no one in the world that can stop him um I think trying to you know show him different things when

Things when when the opportunity presents itself uh you know but yet also not overt talking to him you know not making him think about everything all players don’t need to think about everything that’s not everyone’s role to think about everything I think for me I try to uh show him different things that

I know or that I pick up on that he can possibly pick up on and that’ll make a difference for him but I’m not going to sit here and act like man JK is playing great it’s all on me like he put the work in um um he’s that talented he’s

That good and so uh you know as one of the leaders on this team you just want to continue to breathe life into him uh you know continue to make sure that he know he has the utmost trust from us and um you know one thing we talked about is

Like you know to your point of us getting older um we have older guys ride our legs for years you know and um because we were younger you were able to handle that so now it’s his turn and he’s going to carry us some now and and and I think that’s that’s the

Maturation process right like that’s why you draft a young guy like that with the seven pick because the rose real reverse and you’re starting to see that you know he’s he’s starting to carry us more than we’re carrying him and that’s uh that’s what you hope to see you know uh Dave at

Least set me up for success and then I was able to carry him some like he carried me early in my career that’s the maturation process and that’s what you hope to see and um he’s handling it with Grace and and and very well Draymond following up on you being

The Florida General and running the five uh tonight you have the monster joelan beid home to five for 18 shooting from the field and also eight turnovers what was the defensive strategy against him tonight and how uh satisfied are you with it uh you know just try to make it

Tough on him with any guy like Joe will and be um you just want to try to make his catches tough you want to try to make uh the shots that he’s getting tough and it’s saying that you can make him tough as you want and he can go for

70 so um you just try to contest every shot knowing that he’s the MVP for a reason he’s great for a reason um you’re going to make him take some tough shots and he’s going to make him but you live with those results if you know that you

Put your best for four um those same shots that he missed tonight he could very much so make them next week you know and and we know that you know you don’t lock a player like Joel andb down you try to make it tough and he either

Make it or he miss it um and you live with those results I think uh one thing we did a good job of is not putting them on the free throw line uh you know he’s a an animal and very tough to guard so if you know if you putting him on the

Free throw line and allow him to get a rhythm you have no chance and so I thought we did a good job of defending them without fing but like I said said it’s uh it’s a total team effort there’s never going to be one guy that’s going to um shut Joel down and

Um more times than not there won’t be a team that’ll be able to shut him down so on Steve mentioned that you know you are you guys are doing some things differently I didn’t say very specific you can tell maybe a little more isolation you know is there some sense

That things had to change a little bit you guys have been doing it pretty much the same way for a lot of years and obviously one ton but has there been a little shift and and how necessary was that I mean when when when teams are

Chasing you for 10 years some point they G to figure it out uh and make it tough and you know it start to get tough you know um Steve has always been one of the greatest coaches I’ve ever seen and making adjustments uh whether that’s in series whether that’s in game uh whether

That’s in season uh an overall season uh he’s one of the greatest at at making uh identifying what needs to happen making those adjustments and um you know I think you know credit to the guys in the locker room for uh you know buying into what those adjustments are um you know

As you can see as the season has gone on some roles have changed and yet everyone’s buying into that and so uh I don’t think it’s necessarily um just like oh we want to go ISO here but also understand that you got to take some of

What the defense give you and then you know when you you start to take what the defense give you what you ultimately want to get to then opens up uh more so I think that’s what we’re trying to do steep guys are clearly going with the Draymond It Center kaminga Wiggins uh

Unit what’s different about you guys when those guys are playing like this you know how what’s is it a different feel when those three are together um I think the biggest thing is we can if we can find a way to not foul get stops um use obviously the

Speed at those three positions physicality athleticism you know makes our offense a little bit easier we gave up a lot of offensive rebounds in the first quarter but once we settled that our offense fed off our defense and you see JK getting run out layups you see wigs operating in

Space me and Draymond getting into you know pick and roll situations um so it just it’s if we can play bigger than our size then it usually you know Works in our favor that’s just the challenge on a nightly basis depending on matchups and and who we’re facing

That all five guys are working together defensively King’s had stretches and and even past Seasons where it feels like it has felt like he’s coming along and then it’s kind of been a stop start what to you feels different about what he’s doing this time around uh in

General just Clarity on how he can impact the game um defensive intensity and pressure taking what the offense G I mean the defense gives him on the offensive end whether it’s you know attacking driving Lanes finishing the rim like I said getting you know transition buckets for

Us um you knocking out open shots when he has him and just there’s just an element of aggressiveness you know you don’t want him out there second guessing anything and for the most part he’s done that really consistently and it’s given him a lot of results obviously and you

Know he’s he’s out in the 39 minutes that that obviously helps um there was a play with about 230 left where Nick nurse sends the double at you off of kaminga you kind of toss it over to him he goes scores is that a satisfying kind of moment for

You or situation where it is a guy like nurse who I know you have history with sending a double and you just kind of get an easy bucket right off that because of what kaminga is doing in a lot of ways yeah I think I mean even

Without clay tonight who’s a spacer you have to be aware of where he is you just like you said make the simple play and something good came out of it which was which was nice and that is I think maybe maybe you know last year or a couple months ago it might

Have been a pump fake or you know trying to analyze the situation and then by that time the defense kind of can get reset like whatever the play is whatever the the look is or the decision he made is the right one just be aggressive so um it does help to take advantage

Of take advantage of advantages um like that and and give us great momentum all right step you guys have played I think about 70% of your games have been clutch games I think tonight was the exception although it was headed in that direction until late in the fourth quarter uh what have

You guys learned about yourselves when you’re playing all these close tight games that are you know Five Points five minutes or less remaining what have we learn uh I mean we got to be better we’ve lost too many of those for various reasons um I think I think the the the challenge is

To not I was talking about it last game is to not get deflated or defeated you know when you’re in those situations losing confidence or whatever because of the past results like you have to believe that whatever night it is that that’s your night to get over the hump

And uh that’s why there was a lot of frustration after last game because it was another opportunity missed um on the road coming up you got to expect that there’s going to be games like that that you have to be prepared for um I think we’re getting better

But better is only good if you win Steph uh Brandon um played in the starting lineup tonight um in place of clay uh he Brandon has described himself as a mini Draymond do you think he he said that yeahuh I love it I love I love

That guy so much I was going to ask do you what do you think of that description and also what are your thoughts on him being selected for the rising stars game great honor great acknowledgement you know considering where he’s been his last three years from college to now I think he tweeted

About dreams coming true whatever it was a couple months ago I don’t know about that comparison though uh I’ll let that let him and Draymond figure out their their uh similarities and differences but I just love his confidence when he’s out there he gives us great energy he gives us

Um in practice and games like he know he he feels like and he knows he belongs and that you can’t teach that and then it’s just about him learning the lessons he needs to learn you know as a guy that’s you know being trusted to play Heavy minutes

And continue to get better so I think he comes with that attitude every every night um Draymond big shoes to fill step speaking of Draymond um Steve said that Draymond lifts lifts up Andrew he lifts up um kaminga and and Draymond shared what he tells JK each game which

Is um nobody in the world can stop you I mean how much do those kinds of affirmations and encouraging words and behind the scenes you know pep talks matter for these guys coming from Draymond uh I mean I’m sure they matter a lot I don’t know how they would

Explain it I don’t think JK St about it you know giving him a little boost of confidence the cool part is you know Draymond had those type of guys you know Jermaine O’Neal David West David Lee when he was when he was with us like that’s vet’s job

To you know be sounding board be that uh a gas in the tank for for the young guys um and what they do with that energy and that confidence is up to them so um that’s a team atmosphere and I love the fact that uh you know they’re open to

That motivation knowing it’s coming from Dray M he come from a lot of different different ways and like I said it’s up to them to you know figure out what they want to do with that and your Three-Point Shootout um at Allstar Weekend how how much fun is is this

Going to be with uh with you and Sabrina it’s going to be awesome I know it’s something that hadn’t been done before and fact that we get to be on that stage and you know from last summer when you know they had their allstar game and she shocked the world what she did

To uh the conversation around that and now the challenge of of uh what’s going to happen in Indiana so I’m excited uh I’m coming to win I know she is too think she said she’s moving back to the NBA line um and that’s you could tell how much

Confidence she has in herself so I think everybody you know obviously tuning in should should love the competition no matter how it plays out but I’m definitely going to win Steph you mentioned earlier about playing uh bigger than your size as a team uh tonight you had Joel embiid 518

Eight turnovers uh what was the defensive uh mentality going in and uh how’ you feel about how was executed there’s you could play the best defense in the world against that dude and he can have whatever he has 70 whatever uh so like it does require team effort it requires you giving up

Something you know he’s going to get to his mid-range he’s going to draw a crowd attention you’re going to have somebody probably open on the weak side and everybody has to just fly around to rotate you know I know he’s dealing with some some KN stuff but you just got to

Continue to send bodies at him and make it as tough as possible knowing he’s such a great player you you play the best defense in the world and he can still you know get a bucket so up until he got hurted we worked in our favor and we we executed our game

Plan pretty well also it looked like uh the whole building got a lift tonight when the NFC Championship uh winners stroll through tonight what’s your Super Bowl prediction I mean obviously being here you know you love to see the ners get it done um I do love Mahomes and Kelce got

To play golf with them this Summer and I see him in Tahoe every year so we have a pretty good relationship um in my household it’s just a win-win kind of vibe but obviously you know Hometown team how long’s it been since they won5 you’d love to see

That uh Kerr mentioned that you guys are doing some things differently than you have in the past Draymond asram on he said listen if you do the same thing for 10 years opponents are going to figure some of it out uh how different are things for you is it is it’s as simple

As maybe a little more isolation less of the ball movement uh to to get one-on-one situations and do you think you know it was about something you had to do I this team is different than in teams that we’ve had in the past and because that this team is

Different some of the patterns that we’ve been used to and with Draymond out for so long it opened up opportunities to kind of reassess you know how we’re trying to create shots how we’re trying to create momentum offensively and even how teams are guarding us has gotten a little bit more

Extreme and trying to take me and clay out of that off ball stuff and you know crowd our space and make other guys you know try to handle and make plays so you have to lean into that and get a little bit organized we there’s times throughout the year where we do simplify

The offense a little bit to try to get out of uh a rut or kind of a downswing and we had that conversation a couple probably last week and we’ve been playing better offensively and I think there’s a little bit more organization on that on that

End now you have to marry that with the defens as side and I mean I know we lost the last or two games before and and uh won tonight but our offense has been really solid I think we’re getting better it’s just we got to keep doing

It thank you so much hi uh sta as the team he on the road for the L strange and in the uh second half of the season and especially next uh next week still have the five game it’s a hard game schedule and the significance of each

Game uh intensify so consider this could you elaborate um how to make sure you can take enough rest and uh play uh performs well and help the team move forward yeah thank you yeah five game trip is going to be tough you know our record where it is we need every single

One of them to uh get to Allstar break with momentum and we’ll get our rest we’ll get our uh recovery everybody hopefully can be available we know we’re starting to get hope some guys back over the next couple weeks but it’s every game is important um and the challenge is rough

Because we’re four games under 500 and we know you know we need to uh make up some ground before things get out of hand thank you
