lets not act like Love and Irving are scrubs. Irving out played Curry last finals.. and arguably was the reason they scrapped by warriors

*with Curry slightly banged up and Green out*

But.. depends on how the series plays out.. if James is the only one performing at an all time level and warriors are playing 100% like themselves and James wins.. i'll say he's the best to ever do it.

I like how Russ tries to make it a team game by blowing off a question meant for his teammat without allowing him to speak for himself

Celtics take control of the series. The Bulls aren't the same without playoff Rondo

It wasn't a bullshit question at all. It was a very legit question

They've been banged up pretty much all year and their coach is out.

Durant may not even make it through the playoffs.

And they're still raping faces, while CLE could have easily been 2-2 right now.

Scary bunch.

This sucks but I hope he gets better. Sounds like if it doesn't get better he is going to retire.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Sunday he won't return to the sideline until he can find a remedy for the painful symptoms he's experiencing due to complications from back surgery almost two years ago.

He acknowledged this could keep him out the remainder of the playoffs.

"This is not going to be a case where I'm coaching one night and not coaching the next," Kerr said. "I'm not going to do that to our team, to our staff. We're hoping that over the next week or two, or whatever it is, I can start to make a definitive realization, a reduction, or just feel it that I'm going to do this or not."

Kerr missed the Warriors' Game 3 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday. Assistant coach Mike Brown served as the acting head coach.
The team could also be without Kevin Durant for Monday's Game 4 because of a strained left calf. Durant has missed the previous two games because of the injury.

The 2015-16 Coach of the Year addressed the media at the team's hotel in downtown Portland. He would not disclose the symptoms he's dealing with, but ESPN's Ramona Shelburne reported that Kerr's surgical procedure caused a spinal fluid leak that gives him excruciating symptoms such as migraines and nausea.

Kerr said he has been dealing with the situation post-surgery, but added that recently his symptoms became more intense.

"The symptoms, for whatever reason, took a turn for the worse maybe five days ago," Kerr said. "I was able to manage the pain and discomfort over the last year and a half, and suddenly things got a lot worst and I don't know why."

He's consulting with doctors in hopes of finding a remedy. Earlier this season, Kerr revealed that he tried marijuana in an attempt to relieve his constant pain after surgery.

"I can tell you, if you're listening out there, if you have a back problem, stay away from surgery," he said. "I can say that from the bottom of my heart. Rehab, rehab, rehab. Don't let anybody get in there."

Kerr felt well enough Sunday morning to be present during the team's film session. He watched Game 3 Saturday from his hotel room with his son. He said it was "tough" to not be in the trenches alongside his players, but he was pleased with the performance of Brown.

"I was on my couch in my room telling my son we should put so-and-so in right now, and that guy was going to the table," Kerr said with a laugh. "Mike and I are thinking along the same lines."

Kerr said he will continue to be involved with the team's preparation during the postseason. But in the meantime, he will do all he can to attempt a return to the bench.

"I'm hoping for some improvement," he said. "If I get some improvement, I'll get back on the sidelines. But I'm not going to do that unless I know I can help the team."

Seems he was suggesting that LeBron already did it last year against a Warriors team that was actually playing better than it is right now.

Too bad he can't guard anyone himself.

Still can't believe that Quin is an NBA head coach.

Perhaps, but has there been anyone his size who was a good defender?
