Kerr runs practice for Warriors with Walton out sick
OAKLAND-It’s the game of the century! Not only will this Christmas matchup feature the best two players in the NBA and will be an NBA Finals rematch from last season, but it will also have the added bonus of Warriors fans seeing why the Thompson-Love “trade” was the best trade that didn’t happen, especially since Love didn’t play in the NBA Finals last season due to a shoulder injury.

Having lost just 106-103 – the Warriors’ smallest margin of victory this season – when the clubs met in Utah on November 30, the Jazz (12-15) proved troublesome again despite being held to 13 points in the first quarter.
“So yeah, we haven’t talked about it at all”. It really has been LeBron’s team since day one. With him on the court the Pacers are 5.1 net points per 10 possessions better than the opposition. In those cases, the Jazz would ideally get more from their stars, making hard shots in the face of good defense with their skill.
Next up for Golden State is a Christmas Day game against Cleveland in a reprise of last season’s NBA Finals.
The Warriors might get amped up. Utah is pulling out of a funk with a return to strong defense and picked up back-to-back wins to snap a four-game slide.
The Golden State Warriors have been seriously challenged by only a handful of opponents this season, and the Utah Jazz are among that select group. “We think our record should be a little better”.
-GREEN: Think it was better. “But I’m getting better, building some strength”.
The Warriors controlled the game most of the night despite interim coach Luke Walton mixing up his rotations.
“We’ve got a lot of different weapons”, Bogut said.
Friday’s game will be the first between Golden State and Cleveland since the Finals.
-Q: At 27-1, what does the Cleveland game mean?
-Q: Nothing more? Not a chance to make a statement? “We’ll see how he feels tomorrow morning before we determine his status”.
-Q: As a competitor, do you… “I want to be ready for the long haul”. So, yeah. Just another game. Put them on your “team to watch” list for the rest of the season.
Golden State’s reserves haven’t been the elite unit they were a year ago – down David Lee, and with Andre Iguodala playing more in the absence of Harrison Barnes.
-GREEN: No, I’m happy they’re healthy, though.
“As you go through the league, you start to try to get to where somebody else is, try to stay there, and the whole competitive environment”.
The craziest things that you see him do come in the game, absolutely.
LOS ANGELES – Russell Westbrook had 23 points, eight assists and eight rebounds and Oklahoma City steamrolled Los Angeles for the second time in five days. Not six months ago, or whatever it was. “We knew they were going to slow it down, keep it slow”. Random nights in the National Basketball Association can show you how attacks stack up against each other, but they do nothing for explaining how adjustments may be made during a 7-game series. “But I thought we recovered well”. With his help, the team has been just about unbeatable and they began the season with a historic winning streak. We’ve grown, I’m sure they’ve grown.
What’s their record this year? And we’ve got, what, 27 they can look at? The Cavs took that attractive rhythm away from the Warriors and tried to make them match possession by possession instead of getting those backbreaking runs going.
-Q: You’ve had some friendly interactions with LeBron recently. And part of what you said was that, because of the way you grew up, it was a matter of living modestly.

I will always live by that. “I needed to shoot the ball without thinking, and I didn’t”.
