On March 25, Beijing time, Warriors coach Kerr accepted an interview with the media and talked about the recent situation of the team, and he publicly stated that the Warriors do not care about the regular season rankings, as long as the whole staff is healthy, they can win any opponent in the playoffs.
'If we play well, if we're healthy, we have the confidence to beat any opponent, whether we have home field advantage or not. Kerr said in an interview that the Warriors are currently in Third place in the West with a record of 48 wins and 25 losses, three wins ahead of the Jazz, who are 4th in the West.
The reason why Kerr is so confident is likely to be because the Warriors beat the No. 1 Heat in the East after taking a break from Draymond Green and Klay Thompson, which gave Kerr back confidence.
It has to be said that in the game against the Heat, the Warriors played really well, and even broke the Heat's mentality, resulting in infighting in Spollstra, Butler and Haslem. But Kerr's confidence didn't reassure Warriors fans.
Because although the Warriors won the no. 1 in the East, they had lost three consecutive games before, and they also lost to weak teams such as the Magic. At that time, Cole's post-match interview said that the team did not know how to win, and it turned out that only 1 day later, Kerr's interview was very different from before, which became a little too fast.
More importantly, the Warriors are not healthy at all, Curry fell due to injury, Wiseman can not come back, Green, Klay Thompson are also returning from injury, the competitive state is fluctuating. Winning only 1 Heat does not mean that the Warriors' problems will disappear, and if Kerr is blindly confident and believes that the difficult period has passed, then the Warriors may have to suffer in the back game.
