DeMarcus Cousins Criticizes Steve Kerr for Downplaying Warriors’ Title Hopes

Kerr has tempered expectations by urging caution on trades.

Overview

  • On FanDuel TV’s Run It Back, Cousins said Kerr’s remarks do not instill confidence and argued the coach is speaking down on his team.
  • Kerr recently told media it is not realistic to expect Golden State to compete for titles with top Western teams in the coming years.
  • Kerr has also advised the front office to be careful at the deadline rather than overpay for a roster he views as short of contention.
  • The Warriors are hovering around .500 and were noted as sitting eighth in the West in one report, reflecting an uneven season to date.
  • In a loss to the Clippers, Kerr was ejected after a missed goaltending call that crew chief Brian Forte later said should have been called, while a separate non-shooting ruling on a Stephen Curry play was upheld.
