Kerr Downplays Warriors’ Title Chances as Fans Call for His Firing

Overview

• On The Tom Tolbert Show, Steve Kerr said the Warriors are “not in the same class” as their past title teams and that it is not realistic to expect them to compete with Oklahoma City and San Antonio over the next few years.
• The comments triggered waves of social-media posts from Warriors fans calling for Kerr to be fired and for front-office changes.
• Golden State dropped to 18-17 after a lopsided loss to the Thunder and sits eighth in the West, 2.5 games behind the seventh-place Suns, per recent reports.
• The team’s inconsistency shows in the numbers and rotations, with a 19th-ranked offense and 15 starting lineups over 32 games, alongside reported tensions including a Jonathan Kuminga DNP episode and a sideline dispute involving Draymond Green.
• Despite the slide, Stephen Curry continues to produce at an All-NBA level, averaging 28.7 points and a league-best 4.8 made threes through 25 games, which some fans cite as reason to pursue roster upgrades.
