Game Notes
- Kerr: “I’d like to get the starters up near 30 mins…get them out there in the 4th (quarter) tonight” [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZFftNx6sEc&w=560&h=315]
- “It’s going to be an adjustment for sure, Draymond may not touch the ball as often because obviously KD will be touching it quite a bit, more than Harrison (Barnes) did. The dynamics change.” –- Kerr on Green via Connor Letourneau, San Francisco Chronicle
- “We’re very confident, especially the other night when we started him and he played such a good half, he showed that when he’s with our starting group, he can just kind of do the little things: set screens, rebound and allow the other guys to break free and score.” –- Kerr on Kevon Looney via Letourneau
- “I think he can. I also think he has the potential to be better, With the God-given gifts he has, he has the potential to be better. I’ll continue to grow. I’ll never stop working and I’ll continue to get better. But what is he, 21? That’s a lot of time to continue to grow.” –- Green via Mark Medina, Southern California News Group
