Jaylen Brown: “Maxey’s been leading the way, 100%. He’s been here, this is his team. Him and Joel have been here for a while, so the mindset has been to compliment those guys. I’m finding my footing, but Maxey’s been leading the way for sure.”
VJ Edgecombe: “I don’t get antsy or impatient or anything. We’re 7-1, and that’s the most important thing. Tonight, I was able to get going a little bit, but once you just find that joy out there, just playing basketball, I was just kind of hard on myself early because I was missing shots I make, and that’s not on nobody else but me. It’s fun when you’re winning, you know. I don’t want to be a cancer because I ain’t getting the shots that I want to get, you know. I’m still learning.”
VJ Edgecombe: “LeBron James is my dog. We talk a lot off the court. He’s super down to earth human being. Great person to be around, never have bad vibes. It’s always positive and that’s someone you want to be around. You don’t want to be around anyone that’s going to make you feel bad or drain your energy.”
Nick Nurse on LeBron James: “This summer, he probably stated publicly that he wanted to go someplace and have some fun playing. He loves the game. 24th year, I think that it’s a group of guys like I keep saying that have been super focused and intent of playing the right way, and I think he’s a big part of that, but I think it’s fun. It’s fun to sit here and say 23 out of 25 assists, that’s fun basketball. Everybody likes to play that, and I think that just kind of all comes together for that stuff.”
James crashed into a courtside fan while chasing the ball out of bounds, then briefly picked up the man’s beverage. Asked about the moment after the game, James confirmed what happened. “I spilled some of his wine. I crashed into him. Spilled some of his wine,” James said. “So, I wanted to see if it was worth it on my arm, man. You know, how good it was. It was all right.”

“Listen, I mean, it’s a long marathon, and if you don’t find ways to have fun throughout it, even though you’re working and even though you’re locked in, then it could wear on you,” James said. “For me, especially at this point in my career, being able to appreciate the moments, the small moments,” he added. “These fans are great to us. We try to be great to them as well by playing the game the right way, playing the game hard.”
Austin Krell: Jaylen Brown on his knee: "It's been a little sore. Been having some flares. It's nothing to be overly concerned about. But I'll progress as the season goes on. I haven't felt very athletic, like my normal self, and feeling a little under the rim, you know. But I'm looking forward. I felt better today. Looking forward to getting that pop back in my step so I can like explode and take off. I haven't been as athletic as I would like to start the season. Knee, achilles, calf has been part of it."
