KNBR conversation: Jerry West

An edited transcript of an interview with NBA Hall of Famer and Warriors executive board member Jerry West: The goal is to win a championship, but at the same time, does it become important to keep this win streak alive? At times what makes us vulnerable are the loose passes, poor ball-handling and home-run passes. There are going to be layups and wide-open shots on the other end. [...] when we take care of the basketball, we are really, really, really good. How do you rate him as a player? Do you buy into the emotional balance that he provides? When we play small, we may give up some rebounding but off a miss and a turnover, there is no one that’s going to get back against this team. Is it important to this team to take aim at the 1995-96 Bulls’ 72-win record? If you keep trying to chase records, you’re going to put so much pressure on yourself to play at a level that is completely different than it should be. Q: Since you were a part of that (1971-72 Lakers) team that won 33 games in a row, can the Warriors go out there and get to that number?
