You can't drop any winnable games

That's what good teams do, win the games you're supposed to, steal games on the road.

People like to talk about the Warriors' shooting, but your defense is excellent, as well.

This year is probably the first year people are actually talking about our defense as more than a fluke. The last three years I think we've been top five. But there's so many other storylines with our team, how hot we are the offensive end.

Your new coach Steve Kerr is a legendary shooter, a five-time champion. How has the team responded to his style?

He's been a GM before, a player, a commentator. He's been around the league for 20-plus years. He's seen all different sides of the game. He's had two great coaches he's played for, Phil Jackson and Gregg Popovich. Popovich is someone he still talks to today about how he can be better as a coach. He was prepared to take the job. Obviously, a lot of us didn't know there was going to be a coaching vacancy over the summer, but he and his staff have done a great job. It's been fun so far.

In the offseason not many people were talking about the addition of Marreese Speights, but he's been a beast off the bench.

Mo-V-P, Mo-buckets. With David Lee out, Mo and Draymond Green have filled that role. Mo is having one of the best years of his career. He'd shown that he could do it from time to time, but doing it every night, he should be really proud. He's been a huge asset for us.

On a team trying to win a championship there's not really any room to slack.

Yeah, everybody is locked in mentally to the mission, what the goal is. With us, every night you don't know who's gonna beat you. We're a deep team.

You played against Russell Westbrook last Thursday night. You two are the league's highest scoring point guards. Are there guys like that you get especially pumped to play against, to guard, guys you know are gonna be a handful?

At my position it's every night. Russ, Chris Paul, Damian Lillard, John Wall. A lot of the young point guards coming up, and the old vets. Tony Parker is still doing what he does. I don't get caught up in the one-on-one matchups. Literally every night you have to bring your A-game. But I know who is playing well throughout the season, my counterparts. It's fun to see the point guard position in a good place right now, the competition, guys fighting for the top spot.

Your partner in the backcourt Klay Thompson, is he as chill off the court as he is while he's draining threes?

He's just like that off the court, probably more chill. His first year we never heard him talk, even in practice, in the locker room. I've gotten to know him a lot better off the court. This past summer, with Team USA, we played together. We did a lot of stuff together, that was a big bonding time for us. You get to be in different situations, different atmospheres with him and have fun, that builds the chemistry you need to be successful. There's gonna be situations where you gotta struggle together, and we gotta stick together.

Both you and Klay grew up with dads who played in the NBA. Are there any style tips you picked up from your dad while he was playing?

When he played they didn't have the dress code, but he still wore suits to games. His team used to have mandatory suits on the bus and plane rides. He always had a little bit of style. A lot of buttons on the suits. He enjoyed that part, getting dressed up on game day. Now obviously, with the dress code, no matter if you're into it or not, you gotta do a little something.
