Quote:
The Warriors biggest worry is not the injury to Kevin Durant. He is all but ready to take the court again, even though the Warriors held him out of Game 3. It’s Kerr’s health that is now the biggest concern.
His sudden and mysterious absence from the Warriors bench, which came to light at shootaround on Saturday morning, didn’t come with much explanation. Vague descriptions like “illness” and “not feeling well,” are usually a sign something is wrong. In this case, according to sources, it is.
At the worst of this current illness, Kerr was in excruciating pain, according to the sources, and he could barely walk. It was scary because it wasn’t a feeling he’s had before.
The worst part, the Warriors don’t yet know what is going. They had to say “illness” because there are no answers yet.
Kerr hasn’t felt well all series, according to people around him, and recently it become unbearable. It is unknown if these issues are even related to his past well-known health problems.
As competitive as Kerr is, we know this: it must be pretty bad if he is missing a playoff game. He is expected to miss the remainder of this Western Conference series.
Wow, he's way too young to be going through this. I wonder if it is related to his back issues. I don't recall if those were resolved with surgery, but maybe some aftereffects of that (sepsis or something). Hang in there Steve.

Is that right? #projecting
At first I read this wrong that he was out for the duration of the Playoffs. I hope during the off-season he can correct whatever got so jacked up. _________________ #IStillBelieveTaurean

They said this series but honestly I think this postseason there are reports he can barely walk and they still don't know what's wrong with him.
I think these are the side effects of back surgery. I'm having back issues myself and I never played sports but I've been seeing a chiropractor and doing those exercises he's recommended and am so glad I feel tons better.
Yeah I think this is it for him as coaching and if so how mad is Luke Walton right about now.....

Saying that GSW would automatically fall off a cliff if he were to resign I think is a bit much. But also to Ramona Shelborne reported this earlier today;

Small, but good update on Steve Kerr. Heard he was feeling well enough to watch film with coaches today and wanted to get to practice after...
So instead of projecting I'm just in a wait and see frame of mind. She also posted a link to an article explaining that it's not exactly his back it's leaking spinal fluid that's causing illness that's his problem which sounds terrible. So I'm hoping there something he can do about that in the off-season. _________________ #IStillBelieveTaurean

Love Luke being here in LA but also love me some Luke. Not wishing any ill to Steve but maybe Luke should have stayed in SF. Mike Brown in probably in line to coach one of the best teams in the NBA instead of Luke. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

If having Durant, Curry, Thompson and Green with a coach to be named later is "doomed," I think virtually every team in the league would love to be doomed.

There's no way they'll make him the full-time head coach. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

I don't know. They hired him to replace Luke. Luke was offensive minded, Mike is defensive orientated. They have Ron Adams a good defensive coach doing that job. The Dubs are always near the top of the league in defense. Something overlooked because of their offensive prowess.
I think they may have made the hire in case Steve went down. If he guides the team to a ship I believe he'll be considered for the head coaching position. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

That doesn't guarantee anything as far as championships.
The Lakers had Shaq/Kobe/Malone/Payton and didn't win anything
Mike Brown coached a team with Dwight Howard, Kobe, Steve Nash and Pau and bombed.
Now in this case Steve Kerr is still around for now but left to his own devices do you trust Mike I don't.
If you think about it Mike Brown and Luke Walton traded jobs

That Laker team you are comparing them to weren't even in their primes. Compared to the Warriors in which 4 of the starting 5 players aren't even 30 years old. As long as the coach doesn't do something stupid like call a timeout he doesn't have, this Warriors team should be able to do fine with all the talent they have.

Criticizing Malone, Payton and Nash for not winning in those years is like criticizing MJ for not winning with the Wizards.
Next we're going to hear how the 2013 Lakers were a super team with Kobe, Gasol, and Nash.
I would love to see how a team with Shaq, Kobe, Malone and Payton would do with those guys all being about 3-4 years younger. Or even better, how Malone and Payton would have done if they were in their prime.

When I hear this Dubs roster will take any coach to a ship I think of Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson. You can take a horse to water but you have to know how to make it drink. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Warriors’ Steve Kerr underwent spinal cord leak procedure
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr has had a spinal cord leak procedure on his back and remains out indefinitely.
Owner Joe Lacob updated Kerr’s condition during an interview with Bloomberg Radio.
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.
Kerr had back surgery about two years ago and has been dealing with complications. Assistant Mike Brown took over as acting coach for Game 3 of the first-round series against the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Warriors are 7-0 in the playoffs and have the longest winning streak in a single postseason in franchise history.

I don't get the comparison. That Laker team in 2004 was very talented, even with an aging Malone and Payton. Injuries killed them that year.
If they were healthy, they would have beaten the Pistons
