DUBS FACE ‘DAUNTING’ SCHEDULE ON THE ROAD AGAINST THUNDER, SUNS, NUGGETS
The Dubs face a “daunting” road schedule, Kerr said, as they take on the Oklahoma City Thunder, Phoenix Suns, and the Denver Nuggets.
Furthermore, Golden State needs to adjust fast after coming off two tough losses where they blew leds against the San Antonio Spurs and the Brooklyn Nets.
Moreover, Kerr described his team’s last two games as “winnable” against rebuilding squads.
“What’s disappointing is the last two games were very winnable. Big leads, on the road in San Antonio and at home (against Brooklyn) last night,” the Warriors coach said.
“Those are games we should close out, and obviously we’re facing a daunting schedule ahead,” he added.
KERR EXPECTS INJURED CURRY BACK SOONER THAN LATER AS DUBS BRACE FOR WORST
Moreover, Kerr expects Curry to back in the lineup sooner than later as the Dubs brace for the worst.
Furthermore, the Golden State four-time champion coach described Curry’s bilateral patellofemoral pain in his knee as “isn’t anything new.”
“He (Curry) has been banged up the last week. His knees have been bothering him, so this wasn’t a surprise,” Kerr said.
“At 36 (Curry’s age), you’re just going to have more aches and pains,” he added.
The Team USA gold medallist at the 2024 Paris Olympics currently averages only 29.7 minutes per game this season.
WARRIORS NEED TO PROVE TO ‘WIN GAMES IN THE MIDST OF DIFFICULT STRETCHES,’ SAYS KERR
Moreover, the Warriors, Kerr said, need to prove that they can “win games in the midst of most difficult stretches.”
Furthermore, the retired Chicago Bulls’ three-time champion-turned-coach vows to get through adversity as all teams go through the 82-game regular season.
“It’s our ability, and and every team’s ability, to win games in the midst of difficult stretches. To play through the bad stretches, to not get too down,” Kerr said.
“But it’s 82 games and we’re going to be facing all kinds of stuff – whether it’s a tough schedule, injuries like we have now, people out. Doesn’t matter. Nobody cares,” he added.
