Coach and player quotes on roles, minutes, health and gameplans. Every quote checked against the transcript or post.
Mamukelashvili plays the delay and makes reads when he is the small ball five.
“If it's a small ball five, I play the delay, I kind of make, like, right reads, and if not, then I just kind of compliment them as much as possible.”
Nori views Morant as the primary point guard.
“I would consider Ja more the point and then also just because like you see him pushing pace... when Ja pushes that and attacks the paint and then if you get a big down in the paint, it starts to collapse defense and now you can find some easy ones for Dame.”
Portland ran its offense through Hansen as the hub and he finished well around the basket.
“I thought that he had a pretty good feel for the offense. We played a lot through him as the hub. He made a lot of good decisions, was able to finish around the basket.”
Anderson must be ready to play the five and the four and maybe handle the ball.
“I spoke to Darko about that. He said yeah I need you to be ready to play the five the four maybe handle the ball.”
Barnes starts at the four then moves to the one and the five in interchangeable lineups.
“Scottie starts at four, but then he moves to one, then he becomes a five, and Kawhi is three, but a different lineup, he becomes a four. It's very interchangeable.”
