Steve Kerr has ‘no doubt’ the Warriors can disappoint him today
I still have faith in this team’s ability to get off to a great start,” Kerr said. “I’m not worried about where the Dubs are right now.”
The Warriors have 17 games remaining. They face the Lakers twice in Los Angeles. The first of those comes Saturday, with Curry and Green likely back. Both teams have 31 losses. The Warriors can pass the Lakers this weekend and begin to take control of ninth, which would at least give them home-court advantage in a No. 9 versus No. 10 elimination game.
But the Warriors’ target has never been ninth. Exiting the break, it was sixth. But the New Orleans Pelicans have played too well and the Suns and Kings have stabilized enough to distance themselves far enough away. It could still be within reach if the Warriors rattle off something like 13 or 14 wins in their final 17 games, but who is ready to predict that? Here are some of the teams still left on their schedule: Lakers twice, Mavericks twice, at Miami Heat, at Minnesota Timberwolves, at Orlando Magic, vs. Pelicans.
