If anything, it may help us because everybody’s normally pulling to see us lose, you get a lot of these countries that really feed off their crowd, and you’ll have other countries coming to support those countries, to beat us. So if anything, it may help us. It’s unfortunate, obviously, what’s happening in Japan. The cases are rising. You hate to see it happen. But just from a pure basketball standpoint, I don’t think gives us a disadvantage.

You're not born knowing how to do math. You're taught that. You're not born knowing how to hate someone. You're taught that. And so I feel I want to use my platform to raise awareness about it. To help raise something positive. In America, you look around and a lot of things that happen - it all stems from that.

Al Gore won the popular vote and didn't get elected president, so I'm not going to sit here and kill myself over not winning Defensive Player of the Year.

Whether that's racism, whether it's bigotry, whether it's gender inequality - whatever it is, it's all stemming from "me against you." And, like, how do you stop it? I just want to do my little part in helping try to stop it.

It's kinda ridiculous what you can't say nowadays. You really can't say anything you believe! I think it's fricking ridiculous how sensitive everyone is to everything, how much things are frowned upon. How much stuff will cost you nowadays. I think it's fricking ridiculous that we can't - there's certain topics that you can't really say how you feel about.

The Warriors just got to be better all around the floor and especially on the defensive end. And The Warriors starts with me.

We lost but I think we figured some things out, and we'll be better next game.

One thing we do know is DeMarcus is a great basketball player, so at that point then you just go out there and you do what youre great at. And everything else will fall in line.

Everybody contributed, we got to play and give him an opportunity to get back. Obviously, we're a much better team with him on the floor. But right now we're a very confident group.

This series is going to get tougher and tougher. by Draymond Green

This series is going to get tougher and tougher.

There were some times Golden State felt like that, a lot of pace, a lot of movement just trying to push the tempo, with Kevin Durant, you can kind of be lazy knowing you can throw the ball to K and Kevin Durant'll get that bucket. It definitely was a little throwback for us, for sure.

That looked like it was way worse than a calf strain, i think we did a great job of fighting through that.

Two very key sequences in that game, two key shots for us. by Draymond Green

Two very key sequences in that game, two key shots for us.

If you’re not going to punch me in my face when you see me, then shut up. It’s no different than somebody sitting behind a computer screen tweeting, ‘ I ’ll knock you out, ’ and you never seen them in life. But he’s seen me a bunch of times, and he ’ll see me again this year.

That's the first time in my life I haven't responded to critics, that's been my story. I haven't( responded) so I need to do that.

I think the whole game we weren't playing with any intensity, we were just out there thinking we were supposed to win and they were taking advantage of that. We got down 10 (points) and the crowd was going crazy and we finally started playing with that intensity.

It's really a true test of this team's character, we take a loss, kind of get frustrated, mad, and then we'll lock back in, which you have to do now and then.

We really moved the ball well and got good open shots, guys knocked them down.
