Steve Kerr Articles - Page 24

Steve Kerr finally read writing on the wall that was there weeks before James Wiseman began his largely disappointing third NBA season. As his veteran-laden team pushes for a second-half rise up the packed Western Conference standings, Kerr admitted earlier this week that the former No. 2 overall draft pick would likely remain outside the […]

With the San Francisco 49ers and Golden State Warriors both playing in the Bay Area, head coaches Kyle Shanahan and Steve Kerr have spent some time together. But Shanahan has now revealed that when he and Kerr get together, it could get rowdier than a 49ers or Warriors championship run. Shanahan spoke to the media […]

The Golden State Warriors had far more serious plans for their first trip to the White House since 2016 than simply celebrating their most recent title. Afforded the rare opportunity for extended time conferring with the President of the United States, Steve Kerr and other members of the defending champions engaged in a roundtable on […]

Steph Curry knows by now he should never throw his mouthpiece. The Golden State Warriors superstar first learned that the hard way in the 2016 NBA Finals, when LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers made history by becoming the first team ever to come back from a 3-1 deficit with a championship on the line. […]

James Wiseman is finally set to return from another extended injury absence on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 21-year-old picked a great time to come back with the Golden State Warriors facing off against Ja Morant and the Grizzlies in what should be an intense matchup between two rivals. Let’s not get too excited, […]

After bowing to the Kevin Durant-less Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, Steve Kerr didn’t hold back as he gave the Golden State Warriors a rather harsh but valid assessment on their performance this 2022-23 season. The Warriors led by as much as 17 points against the Nets, but Stephen Curry and co. collapsed and allowed the […]

The Golden State Warriors managed to stave off the Cleveland Cavaliers despite missing the services of Stephen Curry and most of their starters. While the Warriors did manage to pile on a 20-point lead with a monster night from Jordan Poole, it was far from smooth sailing. With the Cavs trying to battle back late […]

Steve Kerr and the Golden State Warriors were on the receiving end of some criticism after deciding to pull Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Andrew Wiggins from Friday’s matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Dubs opted to rest four of their starters for the Cavs game, and it unsurprisingly raised a few eyebrows […]

The Golden State Warriors earned their best road win of the season on Friday night, holding on to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 120-114. The defending champions’ stunning victory was their first over a winning team away from Chase Center, and clinched their first successful road trip of 2022-23. Despite the loss, the Cavaliers’ 19-5 mark […]

The thoroughly depleted Golden State Warriors shocked the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night, holding on for a 120-114 victory that marks the defending champions’ first road triumph against a winning team this season. Less than 24 hours after playing 43 minutes in an overtime loss to the Boston Celtics, Jordan Poole hardly looked worse for […]

Imagine saving up to watch just one game this season only to be heartbroken after realizing that you won’t be seeing your favorite players take the court for that contest. This will be the case for a ton of Cleveland Cavaliers fans who purchased tickets to watch Friday’s matchup against the defending champions Golden State […]

The Golden State Warriors’ sudden starting lineup change against the Boston Celtics on Thursday didn’t quite lead them to victory. But just because the defending champions ultimately ell just short against the best team in the Eastern Conference on its home floor hardly means Steve Kerr will fall victim to prioritizing immediate result over long-term […]

The Golden State Warriors are slowly but surely inching closer to full-strength. Steve Kerr told reporters that Jonathan Kuminga and JaMychal Green scrimmaged with seldom-used teammates on Wednesday and are doubtful for Thursday’s matchup with the Boston Celtics. James Wiseman, meanwhile, didn’t participate in live action and is a bit further away from making his […]

Stephen Curry just came out with his best performance after coming back from an extended injury layoff. The Golden State Warriors superstar exploded for 41 points on Sunday night as he led the Dubs to a 127-118 win over the Washington Wizards in the Capitol One Arena. Steph was so good in this one that […]

The Golden State Warriors certainly didn’t reach their peak against the Washington Wizards, and perhaps rightfully so. Not only were they playing on the second leg of a rare matinee back-to-back on Sunday, but the defending champions were missing Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala and Jonathan Kuminga. Frustrating as another loss to an inferior foe would’ve […]

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors were relatively healthy on Sunday against the Chicago Bulls, but that wasn’t enough for Steve Kerr’s men to overcome their road struggles. Once again, the Warriors showcased a disappointing performance on the road as the Bulls obliterated them 132-118. Curry and Klay Thompson combined for 46 points, but […]

The Golden State Warriors began their five-game road trip on a much-needed high note, blowing out the San Antonio Spurs 144-113 on Friday night. The defending champions reached their peak offensively against basketball’s worst defense, posting a season-high 130.9 offensive rating, draining 18 threes and becoming just the second team in league history with eight […]

At this point in the season, it’s hard to deny that the Golden State Warriors have fallen completely short of the expectations most folks had them entering the season. There have been a lot of factors that have contributed to the Dubs’ current mediocrity, but at the end of the day, the fact still remains […]

The Golden State Warriors’ 125-113 loss to the Phoenix Suns, it bears stressing, wasn’t even as close as that double-digit deficit suggests. The defending champions trailed by 17 in the first half and were down 92-65 with 2:25 left in the third quarter, thoroughly out-classed by the Suns despite finally getting Steph Curry back and […]

The Golden State Warriors are dealing with a myriad of injuries at the moment. Stephen Curry has been out of action for nearly a month due to a shoulder injury. Andrew Wiggins has also missed time, while Klay Thompson sat out the Dubs’ last game due to a knee problem. The silver lining to this […]

Klay Thompson‘s absence from Saturday’s loss to the Orlando Magic game out of nowhere. The veteran shooting guard was listed as a starter for the Golden State Warriors and it wasn’t until after tip-off that it was revealed that Thompson was a very late scratch due to a left knee injury. The good news for […]

The Golden State Warriors received a big boost on Friday with the news that veteran wing Andre Iguodala was set to make his season debut on Saturday against the Orlando Magic. While Warriors head coach Steve Kerr had just stated that he had no timetable for Iguodala’s return, Iguodala himself dropped the news on Friday […]

It’s a luxury for the Golden State Warriors to have Jordan Poole off the bench, ready and willing to step into the lead guard role with Stephen Curry injured. He’s done admirably to try and replicate production from the one-of-a-kind superstar, but it’s clear he has a ways to go to be able to even […]

Andrew Wiggins’ nagging right adductor strain seems to be fully healed. All indications suggest he’s no longer suffering the illness that kept him out of the short-handed Golden State Warriors’ back-to-back home wins over the Charlotte Hornets and Utah Jazz earlier this week. Does that mean Wiggins is playing on Friday against the Portland Trail […]

James Wiseman’s tenure as a nightly member of the Golden State Warriors’ rotation has been interrupted. The good news is that his time on the sideline seems poised to be brief. Wiseman will miss Friday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers after rolling his left ankle playing 3-on-3 in practice, Steve Kerr told reporters during […]

Who needs Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins? Definitely the Golden State Warriors, but the defending champions nevertheless earned a hard-fought victory without them on Wednesday. The woefully short-handed Warriors beat the Utah Jazz 112-107 at Chase Center, getting their third straight win since returning home from a disastrous six-game road trip. The victory […]

Jonathan Kuminga is coming into his own. The 20-year-old played perhaps the best game of his career on Tuesday night against the Charlotte Hornets, spearheading the short-handed Golden State Warriors’ 120-105 win by making winning plays on both sides of the ball from the opening tip. Not even Kuminga’s impressive numbers—14 points, six rebounds, two […]

Jordan Poole had a spectacular Christmas Day game for the Golden State Warriors in his first 29 minutes of action. It’s the last few seconds before getting ejected against the Grizzlies that had to grind on head coach Steve Kerr’s gears. Poole finished with a team-high 32 points and was the stand-in Santa gifting Warriors […]

There’s no denying James Wiseman already has the skill set to put up numbers for the Golden State Warriors. His career-high 30 points on 12-of-14 shooting in the short-handed Warriors’ blowout loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday provided ample evidence of that reality, Wiseman’s combination of size, explosiveness and budding skill around the paint […]

Steve Kerr watched Kevin Durant win consecutive finals MVPs with the Golden State Warriors from 2016-2018. There were widespread doubts about Durant’s ability to return to that form following his Achilles tear and departure from the Bay Area after the 2018-19 season. Three years later, the former MVP is at the top of his game […]

Right now, there’s no denying that the Golden State Warriors are in a heap of trouble. As long as Stephen Curry is out injured, this team is going to struggle mightily. Their performances over the last four games with Curry sidelined are a clear testament to this fact. The Dubs have lost three out of […]

Honing in on his numbers alone against the Brooklyn Nets makes it seem like James Wiseman made a convincing case for a permanent rotation spot with the Golden State Warriors. He poured in a career-high 30 points on Wednesday night, shooting 12-of-14 from the field and draining his only 3-point attempt. Wiseman’s blend of size, […]

For a team that was supposed to be mounting a strong title defense, the Golden State Warriors are looking like a team that might not even make the playoffs. With each loss, the Warriors continue to dig a deeper hole. Although head coach Steve Kerr is well aware of the uphill battle they face, he […]

The Golden State Warriors, obviously, aren’t going anywhere without Stephen Curry. But given how Jordan Poole played on Sunday, the possibility of the defending champions successfully weathering the storm of their franchise player’s absence suddenly seems a lot more realistic. Jordan Poole and the short-handed Warriors earned one of their most complete wins of the […]

Odds are still against James Wiseman being a regular contributor when it matters most for the Golden State Warriors—at least assuming the defending champions make the playoffs. Stephen Curry’s shoulder injury has put everything in flux for the Warriors, including the team’s rotation as it searches for ways to weather the storm of his weeks-long […]

The Golden State Warriors are going to have to navigate the next few weeks without Stephen Curry in the mix. This is after the former back-to-back MVP suffered a devastating shoulder injury that will cost him some time on the sidelines. Steve Kerr is obviously not pleased by the fact that he will need to […]

The officials definitely didn’t cost the Golden State Warriors a second straight win against a potential NBA Finals opponent. Steve Kerr, to be clear, wasn’t suggesting otherwise on the postgame podium. But in the aftermath of his team’s wholly dispiriting 128-111 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday, the Warriors head coach—whistled for a first […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr and superstar Stephen Curry could not hold back their tempers after the referees missed what they believe was an obvious foul against the sharpshooter. In the final minute of the first quarter, Curry launched a triple and was seemingly fouled by Wesley Matthews. Steph fell to the ground […]

The Golden State Warriors face the Boston Celtics in a highly anticipated showdown on Saturday. However, they are making sure fans won’t forget that the day is not just about the two teams but about Bill Russell as well. Golden State has already revealed its plan to honor the legendary Russell during the game by […]
