    Usually when a coach of rival team( warriors) is obsessed with you’re best player and goes after him nonstop in the media(Harden) then yeah that is a tell tell sign

    I agree, but imo, my take-away from his interview tweeted out yesterday was primarily about Kerr changing the subject away from the interviewers question about ZaZa. like @BigMaloe pointed out.

    I'm down for laughing at Kerr for being obsessed with Harden, but I'm actually concerned about how the league refs ZaZa and Green, and I do not underestimate Kerr's ability to successfully pull a political tactic by changing the subject...and deflect discussion away from ZaZa and Green's dangerous play...just like PJax would do.

    Heck, look at the rip-through thread. Kerr owned the GARM even, by changing focus from the ZaZa question to Harden, and we fell for it,,,,I felt like I was watching D&D's daily manipulation by the media and twitter.

    4) Playoffs cannot come soon enough for them.
    5) Offseason/Free agency cannot come soon enough for them.

    One time the Texans thought they were all that, decided to create letter jackets ahead of a regular season game against the Patriots... and got smoked, lost in the playoffs, and are what they are still.

    We need to slow down on the Warriors being worried about the Rockets type stuff...

    Kerr might lose look like a gentle all American guy but trust me that dude came through the hard knocks school of the Bulls who had a few hired thugs In Bill Wellington and later on Will I throw Accidental elbows in people’s faces Perdue and in SAN Antonio Bruce karate kick Bowen . It’s no coincidence that Za Za dose not get pulled or has a free reign to do what he likes. Kerr learned from the best how to push the boundaries

    Yes. I think Kerr is recalling how refs got tougher and tougher on Bogut and wants to avoid that for Zaza.

    This is just dumb pump me up talk. If that's what they need, then so be it.

    There's lots of situations throughout the history of the world where folks say effectively what you are saying and "lose". Relative to sports... WAY WAY WAY more losers with that mentality than winners. How? Because there's only one winner a year.

    To be clear, the mentality I'm talking about isn't having confidence, not backing down, etc. Of course you have to have that. It's being vocal about it, being overly aggressive about it, etc.

    So say it, don't say it... won't change the outcome...

    So i take it thrn u never played sports. That dumb pump me up talk works. Alot of players do it. Ask Draymond. Alot of players through history gonna let u kn ow how great they are. Its a tactic it makes you want to prove it you may not think you don't need it but I see it a lot on the courts trust me it works

    Who cares what they are "worried" about lets focus on who we play in the first round and go from there. We expect to go far and that's cool, but lets remain humble. WE haven't got there yet CF.

    And I think the key to solving Dreamon Green is just to not let him get into our heads. If Harden and CP3 lose their cool because Draymond is Draymonding, it takes them out of their game. This Rox team just needs to realize that they are legit contenders and can beat the Dubs in a 7-game series, then play the way we've been playing all year.
