Good interview by Steve Kerr on 95.7 The Game two days ago. Some of it is old news by now, but there’s good info on everything in terms of health and roster, including one Wardell Stephen Curry, Seth Curry and Al Horford.With De’Anthony Melton cleared from the injury report and available for the first game of the road trip in Philadelphia tomorrow, Kerr also gave us a reminder … [Read more...] about Kerr: “Lineup simply enhanced” by De’Anthony Melton
Pat Spencer: “There’ll be some pushback on the guard heavy lineups, but the game has evolved so much”
Leave it to Pat Spencer, of all people, to defend the four-guard lineups on the podium!If you look across the league, pace is up like crazy. And so I think there’ll be some pushback on the guard heavy lineups, but the game has evolved so much. I don’t know if there’s really a big out there for them.

Kerr challenged Hield to take care of the ball and Buddy has responded
I almost did a double-take a week ago after the OKC loss at home on December 2nd, when Steve Kerr was asked about his closing lineup during the improbable comeback — at the time, it was improbable, especially in the absence of one Wardell Stephen Curry — which included Pat Spencer, Buddy Hield, Seth Curry, Moses Moody or Gary Payton II depending on offense/defense, and Draymond … [Read more...] about Kerr challenged Hield to take care of the ball and Buddy has responded
