Due to changing logistics, Kerr pregame is listed below and then all the video from the remaining postgame is below that: Andre Iguodala, Otto Porter, Andrew Wiggins and Stephen Curry.
KERR PREGAME:
JP not starting. GP will still start.
Related to Klay? Based on tonight only, “based on who’s here” (even though when Klay comes back Klay will start)
Best D vs O: “…Draymond…Gobert…both teams are good because they have good two-way players.”
Top teams in threes: “you stretch the defense out…”
Loon physically break through? (After Connor had the 1-on-1): “Looney always goes under the radar…healthy and thriving is one of the best parts of this season…give a lot of credit to our training staff…great story.”
Loon defending elite guys: “has already proven…on a championship team…important minutes in the Finals but Loon is unappreciated by everybody…(lack of) stats, he’s not a great shooter…incredibly valuable player to us…”
Previous loss: “We weren’t into the ball…down 24, felt that sense of urgency…”
Good without Dray, message to team: “good reminder to our guys…every night because of the collective…five guys connected…”
Antsy to play this game? “Everybody is just realistic about what’s been happening around the league…we turned it into a positive, having a great scrimmage…such a long season…roll with the punches…”
New Years for team? “We had just an absolute rager at the Grand America…I probably shouldn’t even talk about.”
Fewest shots at the rim: “…Draymond…give a lot of credit to Andrew Wiggins…Looney…having five guys on a string…take away the easy stuff…”
Klay saying Wiggs all-star, agree? “Yeah I do…night in and night out…shooting 42% from three, he’s guarding the most difficult player on the court…role defensively that is just crucial…with Klay out…guarded the ball handler (Klay did)…Wiggs does the same thing at 6’8…also guard the smaller point guards…all-star game should be about wins…Wiggs deserves to be an All-Star.”
