00:00 (inaudible)
00:02 (silence)
00:04 (silence)
00:06 (sigh)
00:08 So he can't effing guard you, huh?
00:10 Sorry? He can't effing guard you?
00:12 Who said that?
00:14 You said that.
00:16 I didn't say that.
00:18 I was speaking Slovenian.
00:20 Take us through
00:22 what you're looking for that last
00:24 play, kind of how it developed and
00:26 just the emotion after that shot goes through.
00:28 I don't decide what I'm going to look
00:30 before the play. I just see what
00:32 defense gives me. I didn't expect that
00:34 we're going to switch. We're just going to play that
00:36 pick and roll I told you live. Come and
00:38 we'll just figure out from there.
00:40 That's about it. Read the defense.
00:42 (silence)
00:44 (silence)
00:46 (sigh)
00:48 Luka, what was the approach
00:50 in the last minute, 29?
00:52 You guys went from being up to being
00:54 I think down five. You had
00:56 the challenge on the baseline.
00:58 Kyrie hit a shot. You hit that.
01:00 The poise that you guys had.
01:02 Can you speak to that a little bit?
01:04 Like I always say, stay together.
01:06 Positive energy.
01:08 At some point we're down 18 on the
01:10 road, which is insane to
01:12 come back.
01:14 We believe until the end of the season.
01:16 Jason said that there was
01:18 no plan necessarily to go for
01:20 two or three during that.
01:22 When do you make a decision that
01:24 I'm going to go for the step back? Was it when you got
01:26 the switch on Rudy? Was it just all instinct?
01:28 I don't really know. I can't
01:30 answer that. I just saw some space
01:32 and decided to shoot a three.
01:34 Get to my spot, step back.
01:36 That's it.
01:38 I just decided.
01:40 I saw some space.
01:42 Jason talked about the
01:44 good talk you had at halftime.
01:46 What was
01:48 the gist of that?
01:50 What was the biggest change
01:52 or biggest adjustment you guys made?
01:54 We talked about
01:56 the last three or four minutes
01:58 we play with energy.
02:00 We said we need to play like that.
02:02 We're getting stops, especially boxing out.
02:04 Then our pace has got to be high.
02:06 Those three or four
02:08 minutes we took as example.
02:10 Your thoughts right
02:12 now on being up 2-0
02:14 in a series, two wins from the NBA finals?
02:16 Great.
02:18 Like I say, first to four.
02:20 Nothing is won.
02:22 We've got to just think about next game.
02:24 Not in the future, not in the
02:26 present, this game.
02:28 We've just got to think about next game. That's it.
02:30 You went to the locker room real quick
02:32 at the end of the first. You good?
02:34 Yeah, it was funny.
02:36 You've had a lot of game winners
02:38 throughout your career.
02:40 Do you know where this one ranks?
02:42 Is it way too soon to even start thinking about this?
02:44 Too soon. I'm tired.
02:46 I can't really think.
02:48 Do you have a favorite that comes to mind
02:50 when you think about all the different ones you've hit
02:52 over the years?
02:54 I don't know. I think
02:58 the one in the bubble
03:00 was pretty good, but no crowd.
03:02 I imagine
03:04 that with crowd would be insane.
03:06 Then the one in Grizzly,
03:08 no, where?
03:10 Memphis.
03:12 That was a tough shot.
03:14 No crowd again too.
03:16 I think those two.
03:18 When Nasri got the final shot
03:20 off and it was in the air, what were you thinking
03:22 as it was traveling there?
03:24 I wasn't thinking. I almost passed out.
03:26 [laughter]
03:28 That was looking good. Too good.
03:30 So...
03:32 Oh my God.
03:34 He could have missed it.
03:36 You had more success
03:38 attacking downhill in the second half. What opened up
03:40 for you to be able to have that success?
03:42 Um...
03:44 Let me think.
03:46 Just a driving mentality.
03:48 I don't know.
03:50 I just...
03:52 I don't know.
03:56 Ask me some other questions.
03:58 I would just attack him.
04:00 I don't know.
04:02 Do you have any other questions?
04:04 What have you thought about
04:06 the play of Derek Lively, him closing out the game?
04:08 What are your thoughts on that?
04:10 Amazing.
04:12 No, amazing.
04:14 He's been amazing
04:16 this season.
04:18 This playoffs, he took
04:20 not one, not two, three steps forward.
04:22 He's a rookie. I think people forget
04:24 this sometimes. He's doing this in the Western Conference
04:26 finals, which is insane.
04:28 So his ceiling
04:30 is going to be huge.
04:32 Alright, guys.
04:40 Damn, that's why we have five locks.
