TNT analyst Charles Barkley on Wednesday was asked about the Warriors by Colin Cowherd on Fox Sports Radio. Even if you go back and look at the (NBA) Finals, Steph and Klay (Thompson) did not play great. (The Warriors) struggled against the Cavaliers, who had one player. Kerr, who is taking a leave of absence while recovering from two offseason back surgeries, traveled with the team for the first time during the regular season and provided one of his customary stirring speeches. Kerr has been a regular at home practices and watches games at Oracle Arena from the coaches' office. Walton already is the clear favorite for Western Conference Coach of the Month honors. At the end of the day, really it's about whether those of us on the floor are bringing the energy every night, executing the game plan, playing smart and playing defense.
