00:00 How good does your game feel the last couple of weeks, in general? It's been a pretty sustained stretch where you've been scoring and shooting the ball pretty well. How good does that feel? 00:18 MOSES MOODY: Yeah, it feels good. I've been able to play a lot in the games, find the flow, find the rhythm and kind of carry it on, game to game. So yeah, it felt good. 00:25 How critical has it been getting consistent playing time these last few weeks? How much has that helped just with where you're at right now? 00:32 Yeah, it's been big, been great. That's how I always play. So, just being away from that and having to figure it out is always gonna be different. Never kind of know what you're gonna get, but just staying ready, keeping that mentality and that's, like, I've done it the hard way. So being able to get the minutes and get the consistency makes the game a lot easier for me. 00:53 How do you feel about kind of the 4-2 homestand overall and maybe a little bit of the momentum you guys have built? 00:59 Yeah, yeah, solid. Get some wins under the belt. That's a winning record. So, glad to be able to do that while we're at home, protect the fort. But now we gotta carry it on, go on the road, and really form an identity. 01:15 Pretty different story, offensively, in the second half for you guys as a team. What would you just say was the biggest change at halftime? 01:23 Coach broke a clipboard in the timeout, so just light a fire under, getting us ready, getting us woken up a little bit, but we moved the ball a lot, took the shots that was open, played faster. I think it all contributed. 01:39 Does Steve break many clipboards? 01:41 That's the first one that I've seen this year. Since I've been here, we usually got more than that by this point of the year. So, he's broken a few. 01:52 What do you (think was) the reason for the slow start? It took more than three minutes before you guys even scored the first two points. How come such a slow start today? 02:03 Yeah, we got some good shots. Shots weren't falling, but they wasn't falling both ways. So I don't necessarily know what it was or why it was that way, but I'm glad we got it figured out, got to come out with the win. 02:22 I was just gonna ask what timeout you remember Steve snapping the clipboard. 02:26 I don't remember which one it was. I think it was third, second quarter, maybe? Maybe third, I don't know. 02:31 You remember what he was mad about, specifically? 02:33 Just trying to wake us up. He didn't feel like we were locked in and giving it all we got. So that was kind of the message wake up. 02:41 Appreciate it. - 02:46 Was there surprise at the Luka trade, the Luka-for-AD trade? How did that one land with you? 02:55 STEPH CURRY: Just because of how kind of out-of-the-blue it was, without any type of hint or rumor, any kind of sign, especially them coming off the Finals, like, it's a reminder maybe only a few in this league that can go to sleep with any type of confidence, but then you'll still be there. It's kind of a very unique situation across the board, but I think the idea that it happened in silence was pretty crazy. The fact that you hear a trade and everybody thinks somebody's been hacked, it's hilarious. 03:39 The idea that we always wanna try to get better. We feel like we can, we should be, have a better record, especially with our start. Like, the narratives around our team are so many because of the standard that we've set, because we've won championships, because me and Draymond are still here. And we're trying to - and Loon - like, we're trying to get back to that level while we still have years to play. Like, everything is heightened as a sense of urgency, but you have to understand, everybody in here needs to play better regardless of what happens this week, regardless of the situation we find ourselves in. I don't want that to get lost and we have accountability in this locker room. I don't think anybody's really played up to their standard. So you take that with the fact that every team is trying to get better, especially when you say you wanna win and you work like you wanna win. And I think as long as I'm in here, like that should be the goal. - 04:45 DRAYMOND GREEN: I just gotta get my legs back underneath me and get my rhythm back, but I could defend, so I'll live with that. 04:54 Could you explain as much as you can what you were kind of going through with the calf? 04:59 Yeah, I had a little small tear in my calf. And so it was just rehabbing. The first few days it was really sore. And then after that, gradually got better. It's tricky. The first thing Rick (Celebrini) said to me was, like, it's one of those things that you don't know. Like, it just go. And there was no signs or nothing like that, like, I wasn't tired or anything. It just kind of goes. And so it's tricky because, as you're going through the rehab process, you have to be conscious of that. Like, at any point, it can just go, so I'm being careful, but I always tell y'all, Rick's the best in the game. So I just follow along his plan every day. He asks me how I feel, so that's all I'm gonna do. I feel pretty good and then he come up with a plan and put the plan together and I executed it. So it was good to rehab and get stronger, but I'm happy to be back playing because the rehab process here is pretty hard. They kind of crush you, like, seven-hour days. Everybody else come in for two hours, so I'm happy to be back playing. 06:13 Do guys feel any more tense or anxious around here, considering where you're at in the standings, kind of where you guys are as a franchise and even what's going on around the league? 06:24 I mean, I think obviously, I think we probably have one of the most outspoken - what do y'all, what do they call it now? Governors? 06:39 You're talking about Joe Lacob, am I right? 06:40 Yeah. He's probably one of the most outspoken, if not the most outspoken. And so in saying that, we all know that he's pissed sitting at .500. And so you'd be a fool to sit back and think like, "Oh man, everything's just - " Like, not with that guy. That guy is always trying to win. He's always - he's pushing the envelope as much as he can. And so you understand that you gotta know your people and who you're dealing with. And he does not ever - you ever look at him when we losing? He ain't going for no losing. And so sitting at .500, you gotta expect that they're gonna look to be aggressive. It's not an organization that's gonna do anything dumb, but they're gonna look to be aggressive and I understand it. I respect it. So yes, when you're sitting at .500 and you have the expectations as an organization that we have, it's definitely gonna be a little more intense. And then you add into the fold of, like, Luka Doncic just got traded. So everyone thinks everything's possible at this point, right? If you saw that and you didn't call every superstar, you're crazy. Like, that's just the reality, right? So take all those things into account. De'Aaron Fox got traded. You take all those things into account. You bet your bottom dollar it's tense. But it should be. This ain't some organization that's just looking to be around .500. We wanna compete. So it's definitely a little more intense than normal. 08:18 Isn't Joe's ambition kind of in line with you and Steph though? I mean, this .500 ain't sitting well with y'all either, right? 08:24 Yeah. You don't win as much as we have if those ambitions don't align, so they definitely align. We wanna compete and it hasn't gone quite the way we thought it would go. But in saying that, yeah, and still feel very comfortable with these guys that we have in our locker room and still think that we can win. But like I said, ultimately the decision is not ours. But I think there's definitely a sense of urgency. And we acknowledge that, understand it.. 09:04 Appreciate it.

Can we keep moody in with 25 minutes a night at leas, he constantly shows he is valuable and up to to task.
