KNBR: “There were times in this series where [Podz] was hesitant to shoot… I thought he could have gotten 10 or 11 threes off tonight, and we needed those. I told him that after the game I said ‘when we get back here next year, you are not gonna turn down a single shot.’” Steve Kerr wants Brandin Podziemski to let it fly:

Asked if he views this as a two-year window, Stephen Curry says that with him, Steve Kerr, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler all aligned for two more years, you just want “the ride” to last as long as it can. – 3:01 PM

The Warriors didn’t want to take anything away from the Wolves. But it was hard not to think what could’ve been had Stephen Curry been healthy. Steve Kerr: “I don’t even have to think what [if]. I know we had a shot. I know we could have gone the distance” espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 3:38 AM

All Steve Kerr would say when asked about Stephen Curry’s left hamstring is “it’s a possibility” Curry would play if the Warriors can win Game 5 tonight and extend the series to Saturday’s Game 6 – 8:06 PM

Steve Kerr called Jimmy Butler’s illness yesterday “definitely impactful.” He went from 26 shots in G3 to nine in G4. Kerr: “But he’s feeling better and he’ll be ready to go tomorrow.” Steph Curry remains out but did make the trip with the team. – 8:35 PM

Steve Kerr on Jimmy Butler (nine shots tonight): “He wasn’t as aggressive tonight but I didn’t see a lot of openings.”
Lack of shooting/spacing around Butler and available to Kerr was a repeat postgame talking point pic.x.com/59iUU7bCXu – 1:40 AM

I remember when the Golden State Warriors crushed teams in the third quarter in the playoffs
Well
That was the worst playoff third quarter at home in Warriors history
And the only third quarter worse overall in Steve Kerr era

I hope Kuminga get the hell away from Steve Kerr. He’s not the Coach for this young talented and Athletic young Star. He really need an opportunity to spread his wings. Kerr really had this man outta of the rotation. – 12:21 AM
