Anthony Slater: Steve Kerr’s full answer on the possibility of dropping Jonathan Kuminga into the Game 7 rotation “I thought he played well in Game 3 when we started him, especially defensively. He did a good job on Jalen Green. I think that’s an area where he can help us. On-ball defense. The key is what’s the combination around him? We know they’re in zone an awful lot. Can we find the right combination with JK, with the shooting and spacing, passing we need to expose the zone? These are all the questions we’re asking.” “As I’ve made very clear, the arrival of Jimmy made the combinations much tougher for JK. So that’s what’s been standing in his way. I’ve gotta feel the game. I’d love to get him out there because I think he can help us and do that early I think that’d be helpful for him and for us.”

Both Draymond Green and Steve Kerr identified that start of 4Q VanVleet and-1 3 as a vital part of the loss. Came on an inbound mix up.
Green: “You lose the life.”
Kerr: “That’s on us as a staff.” pic.x.com/4LLQ68SRMp – 12:47 AM

I think Kerr has to play Kuminga on Sunday and live with the results. There simply isn’t enough length and athleticism on the floor right now for the warriors – 12:13 AM

Steve Kerr b/w quarters interview talking about “back to basics, defend without fouling” — immediate cut to FVV inexplicably getting loose for a 4-point play 6 seconds into 4Q. Incredible breakdown by the veteran team, and Houston keeps making plays when they need them. – 11:12 PM

Biggest decision of this wobbly first half from the Warriors: Keeping Steph Curry in after his third foul. Whistled at the 3:49 mark. Steve Kerr kept him in the game. He went on a personal 11-0 run over next 1:49.
Rockets still lead 53-48 at break. – 10:17 PM

Steve Kerr: “We’re ready to give our guys heavy minutes and they’re ready for it.”
Because of the blowout, Jimmy Butler (25), Steph Curry (23) and Draymond Green (18) had light minute totals in Game 4. If tight, could see all in 40+ range tonight. – 7:27 PM

Steve Kerr on what he learned from Game 5: “I learned that we stunk. That’s about it. I don’t think it was anything strategic. I think it was they just were way better and we got to be better tonight.” – 7:26 PM

Steve Kerr wore a Gregg Popovich tshirt in salute of his retirement from coaching. Kerr said, “It’s a day but it’s an encouraging day.” Kerr said he was “mixed emotions” and called it an “emotional day.” Kerr added that he loved him and saw him three weeks ago in San Antonio. pic.x.com/SVY0nmrNss – 7:17 PM

Both Steph Curry and Steve Kerr have said the Warriors need to get Jimmy Butler the ball more in Game 6. Kerr said he got “lost in the shuffle” in Game 5.
“The thing with Jimmy is there’s nothing complicated about how he plays. You just have to get him the ball and get spaced.” – 7:45 PM

Steve Kerr asked about Steph Curry taking contact after his 3s and goes in-depth on the high-five rule he thinks should change: “On every release, Steph is getting hit. But it’s basically within the rules. It’s how the league wants it right now.” pic.x.com/0Fbgem4jap – 10:35 PM

Steve Kerr: “I didn’t have them ready to play clearly.”
He said there was a halftime conversation with Draymond Green to give the starters five minutes to make a run and pull the plug if they didn’t pic.x.com/BThLDI51SL – 10:28 PM
