Even if they came out of a victory against the Lakers, the Pacers live a more than average season. Arriving at Golden State, they even remained on 10 defeats in 12 matches and above all appeared without Domantas Sabonis, Caris LeVert, Malcolm Brogdon and Myles Turner!
On paper, the match was therefore over. Too sure of themselves, the Californians obviously took the game over the leg and finally lost in overtime. So, is it the fault of the players, who are too confident?
“It was my bad night”, yet assures Steve Kerr at NBC Sports. “It’s my fault, clearly. I think I didn’t do the job to prepare my team for the match. We know that when a team is diminished, it’s always the same story: those who don’t usually play are impatient to show themselves. “
As the coach felt that his troops were tired, he had canceled training the day before the game in order to let his players play a little baseball in the Chase Center…
A moment of relaxation undoubtedly precious to breathe physically and psychologically, but not ideal, in fact, to prepare for a meeting.
“It’s his character to take responsibility”, commented Stephen Curry for his part, to react to the words of his coach. “It’s part of our culture. We all tend to look at ourselves and wonder what we could have done differently. I do exactly the same. “
Warriors skipped scheduled practice and had an in-arena home run derby yesterday. Steve Kerr said he felt the team was “tired” after a ton of travel lately and this was chance for a refresh.
