00:00 Lindy, by the time you get in the game, obviously there's tons of points going up, three-pointers all over the place. What is on your mind when you jump into a game like that? 00:09 LINDY WATERS III: Just bring energy, both sides of the ball. Just try to execute our game plan and play as hard as I can. Shots are going in at a high clip. Yeah, just let it flow. 00:24 What do you feel like went wrong defensively as a team tonight? 00:29 You gotta give credit to the other team. They made a lot of shots tonight, I think, 81 points in a half. There's some rotational things that we could clean up and just a few 50-50 balls. But they shot really, really well tonight, 51 percent from three, 21 threes. It's tough to beat that. 00:53 You were pretty much in the closing group tonight. What has Kerr told you about how those minutes are earned? Did he say anything about you getting those minutes tonight? 01:03 I think it changes on a night-to-night basis. Whoever's got it going, whoever matchup-wise, how our offense is looking and defense, it's just, anybody can play. Anybody can be in the end rotation. Tough we got the loss tonight. 01:22 You took that transition three with nobody in front of you. How easy or hard is it to take that shot when you're on Steph Curry's team, on this team? Are you thinking about it, like, this better go in or what's the process there? 01:40 I practice that shot every day, so I just had confidence and was wide open and just let it fly. I had a couple before then, so maybe got into a rhythm earlier, but that's what I do. 01:54 You guys, too, had a big night offensively. What do you like about the rhythm and flow, you guys were able to play with tonight? 02:00 I thought we did good. We got into a rhythm about halfway through that first quarter. We're sharing the ball well. We're running, executing well on offense and everyone was ready to knock shots down. Cool. Appreciate y'all. 02:19 Steph, how involved were you in the conversations, kind of leading up to the Schroder trade and what do you think of it? 02:38 STEPHEN CURRY: I got, oops. I always, with Bob (Myers) and with Mike (Dunleavy, Jr.), it's always a conversation of if anything is real or anything's worth having a little serious conversation at that point, involved me. I don't want to be distracted by what-ifs and all that type of stuff. So it happened pretty quick, to be honest, and excited about the opportunity to play the guy that you played against for a long time. He's a true competitor, can create, score, run an offense or a whole lineup. So, excited to see him plug in. a guy I could probably play with in the backcourt, can handle a lot of ball-handling responsibilities when I'm off the court, and gives us another guy that can attack a defense. And on the other side, he loves to compete and he's a great guy. He digs in on the defensive end, too. So it should be a seamless transition for him and we'll see how it looks. 03:48 How much do you feel like you need it? I mean, Steve's talking, basically feeling like you kind of need a secondary creator out there. I mean, do you feel like this can really help you? 04:00 For sure, it can help me. It can help us. What helps me, helps us in the sense of, like I said, if I'm on the court or not, I know I can play off the ball and you want a guy that can be comfortable with the ball in his hands, see the floor, make the right reads, take advantage of defenses if they want to pay attention elsewhere. When I'm off the floor, like I said, a guy that can run an offense. You can play pick-and-roll with him. He's pretty sound with the ball and you've seen the way he's scoring this year too. So it gives us a definitely another threat. And I'm sure he'll build chemistry with everybody else as well, Wiggs, JK, Draymond, maybe even Trayce in pick-and-roll type situations. So it should give us another dynamic scorer/ball-handler that will help all of us. 04:54 Draymond was talking about how he's really looking forward to adjusting to Dennis, not vice-versa, not him adjusting to you guys. I think he meant like stylistically. What do you think he meant by that? 05:08 I don't know what he meant by it. I just feel like you have an idea that he's a guy that has played pick-and-roll and you gotta pay attention to him. He knows when to take his shots. He knows when to drive. He sees the floor really well. And in the sense of how we play, moving the ball, like, I'm sure that type of basketball he can adjust to, but you have to cater to what we've been talking about all year and trying to cater to the strengths of what this team is. There's a lot of experimenting that's been going on with us and it'll be even more with Dennis in the sense of how he can kind of shift the geometry on the offensive end and whether, like, certain spurts, you can just go run through him, pick-and-roll and ,pick your poison with shooters around type of vibe, so we gotta ask him what he's comfortable with. He's gotta understand our go-to's. And trades are tough in the season because you got to pick it up on the fly. So we gotta be able to do that stuff. 06:13 Two questions. Have you interacted much with Dennis, aside from playing against him? Do you have any sense for what he's like as a person? 06:21 No, I never hung out with him off the court much, but - and inside the lines, I talk to him. I just love his competitive nature, like, he got that dog in him and you can kind of tell he doesn't talk that much, but he's very animated and he's - I've never not seen him in the moment, like, trying to rip your head off type of vibe. So I like that. 06:45 And unrelated, what was it like tonight? Obviously, a lot more hype last time Klay came back in his first visit, seemed sort of more under the radar this time. And yet he had obviously a very good game. What was that like guarding him again? And what - how much did he sort of key their win in some ways, beyond Luka? 07:05 Yeah, I mean, the whole circumstance of this being the kind of NBA Cup make-up game and he had his return vibe, which was amazing. 07:21 Tonight, the first six minutes, they basically beat us in the first six minutes. We did everything we could, to try to get back,, and end the game or keep pace, try to get over the hump, cut it to a two-possession game a couple of times. And he hit a couple of daggers whenever we were trying to get over the hump. I had a turnover, like that one turnover in the fourth and it finds him for three. And you could tell he was a little bit more free tonight, just probably emotionally and with all the buildup. Dominated the game, scoring and distributing. So he got everybody involved. And when you give a team 46 points in the first quarter, you could probably come back, but it's gonna be tough, not just because of the margin, but because everybody's feeling good. And Klay was a part of that. 08:12 Speaking of Klay, he's closing in on Reggie Miller, passing Reggie Miller for fifth on the all-time three-point list. You're at the top of that list, obviously, but just for him and everything he's been through in his career, what do you think a moment, like, or an achievement like that is going to be for him? 08:28 Hold on. You said fifth? 08:30 He's going to be fifth. He's 11 away. 11 away from tying, 12 away from - Reggie's, hold on - it's me, James (Harden), Ray (Allen). Who's in - am I missing the - he'll be fourth then, right? Am I tripping? 08:45 Dame, Dame's fourth. 08:46 Dame is? I didn't know that. Wait, Dame caught Reggie? Hold on, you got me confused now. I haven't even watched - damn, I didn't know that. Well, it's crazy 'cause I passed Reggie three years - was it three years ago? And now he's a - he was second, now he's fifth? And I'm sure at some point, I don't know what the margin is, I'm sure he'll be top three at some point if he can stay healthy, so I think it's only fitting that me, James, and Klay, at the end of our careers, are one, two, three at some point. If that can happen, that would be beautiful. But you pass the baton off to the next generation of guys that'll probably be catching - trying to catch us when it's all said and done. So it's cool that me and Klay have been doing it for a long time. It just didn't sound right when you said Reggie is fifth. I was like, caught me off guard. Y'all good? Have a great night.

I believe in this team more
I think JK and Dennis are going to be the next Stephen Curry and Draymond for the Warriors moving forward
Really impressed with his game. If only the League would let us play!!!!
Trade JK, wiggins, podz, for a superstar
LeBron James or Giannis
Not kuminga no way!!!
