While they were facing an inferior opponent in the Utah Jazz, the Golden State Warriors entered Tuesday night without three of their top players with Stephen Cu

Warriors coach Steve Kerr knows what he’s talking about when it comes to the defending champion Celtics' wild inconsistency.

“I wouldn’t worry about the Celtics if I were one of their fans,” Kerr said. “This is normal.” The Celtics built a first-half lead on the back of their defense Monday before running away from the Golden State Warriors for a 125-85 win. It was less than two hours before tipoff when Kerr provided his perspective on his opponent’s recent slippage.

Warriors star Stephen Curry will sit out the front end of a back-to-back Tuesday against the Jazz due to bilateral knee injury management, but the team is hopeful he will play Wednesday.

The Golden State Warriors head coach donated 20 tickets to his alma mater in the town where he grew up and was ravaged by the recent Los Angeles wildfires.

Kerr has been an outspoken critic of Trump for years, even appearing at the Democratic National Convention to speak out in support of former vice president Kamala Harris ' presidential campaign. November's DNC took place in Chicago's United Center, where Kerr won three championships as a player with the Chicago Bulls.

The Golden State Warriors need every edge they can find, and Brandin Podziemski will bring his every time he is called.

Curry’s injury means the Warriors will be without their three best players in Curry, Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga. Green won’t play until next week, while Kuminga won’t return before the Feb. 6 trade deadline from the significant ankle injury he suffered on Jan. 4.

The drama surrounding the move has quieted down in recent months as the NBA season continued but resurfaced again on Monday. Cameras caught Celtics stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown appearing to give Kerr the cold shoulder after Boston’s blowout win over Golden State.

Kerr's Warriors repeated as champions in 2017 and ’18, and no team has done it since. “I wouldn’t worry about the Celtics if I were one of their fans,” Kerr said.

After avenging a loss to the Warriors, Celtics' Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum gave Warriors and Team USA coach Steve Kerr the cold shoulder when he tried to chat with the two Boston stars.

Podziemski started to turn his season around in December, when shots started to fall and the rest of his game followed. He shot 45% from the field and 42.5% from deep in 12 games before getting banged up on a freak collision with Clippers wing Amir Coffey.
