Bogut calls out teammates defense, Curry hoping for some 49ers mojo and Jackson talks about his tired stars...

Andrew Bogut “Our defense has been horse (manure). Even before I played in Toronto, I think our defense started to slip a little bit. … The last 10 games it hasn’t been great.” “You’ve got to stop your man. I think we have a great shell, team defense. But at the end of the day, it’s you one-on-one battle with the guy you’re guarding. You can’t just keep hoping for help and funneling to help. Those all-star players like James Harden are exceptions. But I think we need to take a better onus of saying ‘I’m going to stop my man’ so we don’t have to get into help rotations. All kinds of crap happens when you start rotating. All of a sudden you’ve got bad rebound coverage and the end product is not good.” “We’re not where we think we are. We’re not where we think we are. I think we thought we were maybe a little better than we were. … We were the hunters early on in the season and now we’re the hunted. So that’s a different mindset for us with other teams coming out trying to kick our ass and we’re not responding.” Stephen Curry ON THE TIMING OF BREAK “It’s a tough feeling to go into the break after you lose five in a row, especially one at home. Maybe its like the Super Bowl where the lights went out. Maybe this week, we can sit back, relax and try to get refocused. Be like the 49ers and make a push. See what happens.” Mark Jackson “Nobody is going to feel sorry for where we are right now. We have to find a way to put together 48 inute sof basketball and get out of this. It’s a challenge and I think it’s a great time for my guys to get away form this thing and get away to things that matter in life and come back with purpose.” ON FATIGUE OF CURRY AND JACKSON “We are a no excuse basketball team. Those guys have put up a lot of minutes, but they have been very successful playing a lot of minutes also. The demand on them will be the same as everybody else. There is a reason why we lost five in a row; they played a part in it, but I think it’s a great time for them to get away from the game, get away from the demands, to recover and look forward to after the All-Star break. I’m sure those guys are physically (tired). I put a lot of pressure on them. They’ve earned this break.”
