Can you say great great great possibility that Steve Kerr gets fired after the season hey simple fact did you see how good Sacramento is playing with brown as their coats did you see how the Golden State Warriors started off last year with Brown as the coach but I don’t know what’s going on with the Golden State Warriors organization but they do need to take the races OTHERtone and throw it out of the window for the simple fact we need our old coach back Stephen Curry would it be and has six ring

Coach of the year Brown I’ve watch this man coach for the Golden State Warriors I’ve seen him coach as head coach for the Golden State Warriors watch the curve is out and I have watched him go on runs with the Golden State Warriors now he’s give me the chance to prove that it was him or the Golden State Warriors that was coaching us to the last two championships with him being the coach for the Sacramento Kings a lot of dirty laundry is about to be aired out with the in the Warriors coaching staff this summer guarantee

I can honestly say as a clippers fan, this game was insane and possibly the most efficient overall in the history of the NBA but having said that… Tye Lue has had an awful season and was the main reason we lost yet again. We were getting cooked by the Kings backcourt all night and he decides to play Westbrook and Norm over EG and Mann on defensive possessions down the stretch. Don’t ask me why Tye had westbrook guarding him to begin with but the way he lost track of Monk on that last three to send it to OT was absolutely aggretias and we know Westbrook does this, you can’t blame him. Tye should know this and completely screwed us yet again.
