Golden State Warriors News

The Golden State Warriors look to complete their second-consecutive sweep in the 2017 NBA Playoffs tonight in Utah. The Warriors have thoroughly dominated the Jazz in this series, with a double-digit margin of victory in each of the three games so far.

As revealed by interim head coach Mike Brown on Sunday, Steve Kerr was responsible for suggesting that Durant attack Jazz center Rudy Gobert in the pick-and-roll.

Gobert was one of the many initial critics of the Durant to Warriors move this summer, and tweeted about it at the time, only for it to be suspiciously deleted after Saturday’s game.

Myers said Sunday that doctors don’t even have a timeline for Kerr’s recovery. He added Kerr is still in a “gray area,” so no one knows when he’ll be able to return to the sidelines.

Kerr did not travel to Salt Lake City for the Warriors’ 102-01 victory over the Utah Jazz on Saturday night that gave Golden State a 3-0 lead in the Western Conference second-round series. He saw a specialist at Duke University on Friday

The Warriors survived the game even with the Splash Brothers starting a combined 3-for-20 from the field. Steph Curry didn’t hit his first 3 until late in the third quarter and missed 10 shots in a row at one point

Green headed to the bench after the play, and as he did the power forward started taunting the Utah crowd. Holding his hand up to the air, Green first held up two fingers, followed by no fingers – a reference to the Warriors current 2-0 lead in the series.

There are many in the Bay Area who don’t believe that Stephen Curry gets the same treatment that many of the other superstars in the NBA receive.

The Golden State head coach is seeing a specialist at Duke Medical Center Friday, in attempts to figure out a solution to the lingering symptoms from his 2015 back surgery that have kept him away from the team for two weeks, according to Ramona Shelburne of ESPN. Kerr had been receiving treatment at Stanford for much of last week.

Boring or not that’s where the Warriors are heading on Saturday with a 2-0 series lead. When they arrive, Draymond Green doesn’t exactly expect a warm welcome. He also has no problem with that.
