"This is what load management is about," Ham noted of the controversial topic. "We have to manage their loads in the regular season in order to push time a little further during this time of year. Postseason, everything is at its peak. You've got to pare down your rotation and you got to push your big dogs. Your big dogs got to be there early and often."
"They are going to shoot more free throws than we are," Kerr admitted. "I think they were No. 1 in the league and we were the last or next-to-last. So not a surprise. But that is a huge disparity and we need to bring that down."
“We just locked in for 48 minutes from the start to the finish,” D'Angelo Russell said. “That team’s dangerous. They shoot a lot of 3s, a lot of 3s can get you back in the game when you’re down by a few possessions. Knowing that they can explode at any time and get themselves back within one point or a one-possession game, whatever it may be, knowing that, every possession matters.”
“It's going to be a different game," Davis said. "They're going to make adjustments, we're going to make adjustments, the building's probably going to be a little bit louder, obviously they don't want to go down 0-2. The crowd will be more into it."
“We’ll make those adjustments. Understand, again, quick turnaround from Game 7 against Sac, and locking in on what the Lakers do well,” he said. “Confidence is high, we can bounce back.”
“Great rim protector and his shot was going,” Green said. “I felt like he made every one of those mid-rangers he took. You’ve got to live with some of those, but I think we can do a better job individually and collectively taking some of those away.”
“I think when you start the series, you really have to go through a game to really feel it and watch the tape and figure out what possible adjustments (to make),” Kerr said.
“Game 1’s always important, especially on their home floor, we wanted to be 100% locked in to try to get that one,” guard Dennis Schröder said.
“Given that the series is every other day, we won’t have anything other than walk-throughs on the off days," Kerr said. “It’s kind of what the playoffs are about and then you might run into a situation where all of a sudden, you’ve got nine days off, which would be really nice."
