Warriors are going to absolutely shit on their second round opponent if we don't pull off the miracle, so at least we will look good by comparison.
If Gobert is back and the Jazz can beat the Clippers, they could push the Warriors. They have quality depth unlike us, but lack elite scoring like us. So maybe it's a wash.
Kerr's issues seem like a big deal, actually. It's being called an "illness" because the team/Kerr doesn't yet know the problem, but it's serious. Link
This isn't the first time he's missed time, I wonder if he is going to step down after the season? I mean, if it's serious he really should. Health>Stupid game.
If it's connected to his back surgery, like the half-season he missed last year was, then that seems a reasonable possibility. It might be that his body won't hold up to full seasons. It would be a shame--Kerr seems like a great guy and he's a great coach.
