Kerr on Curry’s minute load tonight: ““We can’t expect to just ride Steph. We’ve put the burden of this franchise on his shoulders for 15 years … If you want to say that him playing 30 minutes instead of 32 is a difference in a win and a loss, I totally disagree with that.” – 9:51 PM
Steve Kerr: “If you want to say (Steph Curry) playing 30 or 32 minutes was the difference in a win or a loss, I totally disagree.”

Those five minutes to start the fourth quarter, -11, was the difference. The non-Steph Curry minutes.
I thought it was time to start Curry in 4Q, which he did against Indiana. Sitting him for five minutes straight is too much against the better/hot teams. – 9:34 PM
Warriors lose in Minnesota by four. They were -11 in the non-Curry minutes and he sat nearly 18 of them. The extended fourth quarter rest stung. This loss drops them to 36-34. They’re now only one game up on the Rockets. Danger increasing they could lose the #10 seed. – 9:31 PM
Tough shot selection there from Ant on that three. Wolves lead 111-110 with 14.9 seconds to play after four straight from Curry. They have the ball after a timeout. – 9:24 PM
Naz Reid has 17 of the Timberwolve’s 29 points midway. Six-of-8 shooting, five 3’s.
Steve Kerr on Reid pregame: “He kills us.” – 7:47 PM

Naz Reid so far in the first half: 17 points in 13 minutes, 5-of-6 on 3s. – 7:46 PM
“Naz Reid is a Warrior killer.” – Steve Kerr pregame. Naz opens Wolves scoring with a corner 3. – 7:12 PM

Steve Kerr on the Wolves: “They start Reid instead of Towns, so they still have another 7-footer next to Gobert. Length across the board. So very good chance we’ll play Draymond and Trayce together some tonight.” – 5:49 PM
Steve Kerr showed the Warriors all their transition “stays” in loss to Pacers: “You don’t crash. You don’t get back. You just kind’ve stand there.”
There was a particularly egregious one in crunch time to give Nembhard a layup: “That was on there.” pic.twitter.com/frbJaSfX0o – 5:41 PM

A reminder for those who just watched Gonzaga toy with Kansas in this second half on the way to a blowout: the USA Basketball men’s coaching staff for the Paris Olympics is Steve Kerr, Erik Spoelstra, Tyronn Lue and Mark Few. – 5:27 PM
Steve Kerr will challenge this TJD block on Nesmith that was called a foul. As @DanFeldmanNBA noted the other day for us, as of 3 days ago Kerr had the lowest success rate by far on challenges, only 33%. That’s 11% worse than the next-best coach. – 10:51 PM
