Steve Kerr is angry. In fact, the Warriors head coach was so angry with how his team opened the third quarter of Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Cavs that he decided to take it out on a poor, unsuspecting clipboard.

Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr had a bone to pick.

Draymond Green is on thin ice as Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals approaches tonight. In what’s the most important game of the season to date for the 73-9 Dubs, one of their best players might have to tone down his actions just a bit if he wants to stay on the court. The NBA’s […]
