What's the local feeling on the potential impact of Kerr's absence on the performance of the team in the playoffs?
I get the sense that because of the strength of our team, most casual fans aren't too concerned about it.
For me, I'm a bit torn. I feel like 1) it could be a rallying point for the team to win it for Kerr and 2) it could be detrimental to strategic game planning down the road.
I'm on record saying I didn't love Kerr's in game adjustments as a whole. I think he's fantastic as preparing the team and willing to try new things before the game starts, but when it's during the course of play, I don't see nearly as many adjustments as I would like.
The only real concern I have is that Kerr would check the players. Everyone. From Steph to Draymond to Klay and even KD, he would let them know if they needed to be brought back down to earth. The Warriors are pretty self policing for the most part, but it's that interaction with Brown that's truly unknown right now.
