Similar Stories to Jackson Backs Warriors’ Kerr For Coach Of The Year on Bing News

During the ABC telecast of the Warriors’ first-round opener against New Orleans on Saturday, Jackson said he believed new Warriors head coach Steve Kerr should win the NBA’s Coach of the Year for improving the team from 51 to 67 victories. When he returned to Oracle Arena on Jan. 9, he dismissed the importance of a rim-protector and said the Warriors’ defense got better when center Andrew Bogut was on the sideline. Later in that telecast, he spouted a seemingly rehearsed line referring to Kerr improving on the job Jackson believes he started with Golden State. People are going to ask what he thinks, especially with his ties to the Warriors’ organization and myself, specifically. 'Superfan’ sighting: NBA celebrity fan Jimmy Goldstein, who is recognized by his leather outfits and, by his estimation, attends about 35 to 40 playoff games every season, started his 2015 odyssey in Oakland. Goldstein, a multimillionaire who likes to keep the source of his wealth secret (though it is believed to come through Los Angeles real-estate deals), is usually courtside at Staples Center. Kerr and Monty Williams are both linked to Gregg Popovich’s coaching tree, but Williams said Kerr “took the fruit, and I took the bark.” Visiting teams get to choose their opening basket, and New Orleans is one of a handful that chose to shoot in front of the Warriors’ bench during the first half. The Warriors recalled center Ognjen Kuzmic, who helped their NBA Development League team in Santa Cruz take a one-game lead in the Western Conference finals against Austin on Friday.

Nikola Jokic on Game 5 slam dunk amid 40-point performance: “I’m a freak of nature”
Denver Post, Wednesday - 05/15/2024 - 05:05 AM
All in a day’s work, Nikola Jokic dodged questions about his aggression against Rudy Gobert, exhibited gentle embarrassment at being called a genius by his coworkers, then referred to himself as a freak of nature with a complete poker face. That was at the podium. On the court, he passed behind his back to perimeter shooters, behind his back to the baseline dunkers, over the top of five defenders for Hail Mary touchdowns.

Anthony Edwards on Nikola Jokic’s masterful Game 5 performance: “I just laugh. That’s all I can do.”
Denver Post, Wednesday - 05/15/2024 - 04:07 AM
Rudy Gobert’s effort was valiant. But Nikola Jokic was just too good. In the midst of Jokic’s scoring onslaught in the third quarter of Game 5, the Timberwolves big man was in the paint, trying his best to prevent the three-time MVP from moving around him. Jokic backed down Gobert, turned left, then right, then left again before he shot the ball over the four-time Defensive Player of the Year’s outstretched arm and into the heavens before dropping down through the net. The Nuggets took a seven-point lead with 6:40 left in the quarter, as Minnesota — the best defensive team in the NBA — saw its hopes for a Game 5 slowly fading away. “I just laugh.

Nobody could hear a word Adam Silver was saying, but the speech was probably nice.

Red-hot Rockies beat Padres for sixth win in a row behind Cal Quantrill

SAN DIEGO — Inside the clubhouse, Rockies players had quietly said they were much better than their terrible record indicated. They didn’t say it too loudly because it’s best to whisper when you own an 8-28 record. But who could blame the Rockies for turning up the volume after beating the Padres 6-3 Tuesday night in front of 40,134 at Petco Park?
