“Guys, who are your connectors?” Kendrick Perkins “Yeah, they’re definitely not having team dinners, I can tell you that.” Channing Frye: “Hell no.” Kendrick Perkins “You can tell that after the games, after practices, everybody goes their separate ways. There’s no camaraderie, no hangouts. Nobody’s pulling them together to do [__]. Again, I’m just looking at it overall. When I go back to the trade deadline, it’s like the Rockets put out publicly that Amen Thompson and Sengun were untouchable when you had Giannis on the table. Was that really the right message to be putting out there? They’re untouchable when you’ve got Giannis? Giannis with the Rockets—now all of a sudden he becomes Batman, and KD could be the Robin. That’s a dangerous Robin. I would say more like 1A and 1B, right? Because Giannis, the way that he applies pressure, would open up so much for KD.”

I looked at some of your matchup data this season. You limited a lot of players, including Wemby [Victor Wembanyama; 8-for-21], Sengun [5-for-12], Zion [Williamson; 5-for-12] and KAT (Karl-Anthony Towns; 1-for-6). What were the keys to those performances? Draymond Green: “No. 1 is taking on the challenge. You have to want that challenge. If you don’t want that challenge, you lose. These guys are too good. They are too good. You know what they’re trying to do. So, No. 1 is taking on the challenge. Then the second thing is I’m going to take the aggression to them. I’m not going to wait on my heels for them to make a move. These guys are great for a reason. So I’m going to take the fight to them. I’m going to make them do what I want them to do. Sometimes, guys get the better of me. Sometimes, I get the better of guys.”

Lachard Binkley: Alperen's home country, Turkiye, usually has to watch Rockets games in the middle of the night because of the time zone difference. I asked Alperen what he thinks it means to his home country to see him in his second all-star game. The most by any Turkish born player. “I believe it means a lot. The last few years Turkey we had had some earthquakes a lot of bad stuff went out there so I am always happy to give them the great news.”
