On Kawhi
"I don't know. He's just out. His hand, just has been tough. He had the eye first, the eye problem, and now the hand problem, so, he's a guy that we depend on to do a lot of things. He could've helped us on the boards tonight, for sure. We missed that a lot."
On the game
"I thought Washington played more consistently than we did. Randy has done a great job in getting them to buy into their system, they're playing aggressively, they're physical, they're in attack mode, they're sharing the basketball, and I think they're doing a great job"
On making the Finals again this year
"Why not? I don't think anybody is that great, very honestly. Golden State looks different from everybody, obviously, because of their record, but still, I think anybody can beat anybody else. Top 10-12 teams in the league, it's anybody's ball game"
On the struggles
"We just haven't been consistent. It would be easier if we had two guys out this whole time, and you knew who's going to be out every night. But every two, three games is different people, so that has made it a little bit tough on the guys. The seven back to backs in December, kinda put us in a bit of a hole, it's a bit too much for any team, let alone people like us who are older than dirt. We just have to keep our heads up, keep playing, we get everybody healthy, and I think we can be a very good team"
On seeding
"You know, winning championships is difficult, no matter how you slice it, but you don't have to have the best record in the league to win the championship, we've done both. We've done everything. We got beat in the 1st round, we've been low in one whole thing, and we've been first in one whole thing. Every year is a different animal. It's a different mosaic so to speak, and you just try to put it together as best you can. Hopefully we have good times to look forward to when we get everybody back."
