00:00Let's hear Steve Kerr basically. I mean, you want to say he's making excuses. Maybe

00:04Steph really is tired. Steph says he's not. Kerr says he is.

00:08Did you think Steph was all limited? Another tough shooting night, seven turnovers.

00:12He's tired. Steph's been carrying us for a month. He's been amazing.

00:19He's tired. So we got to get him some rest. You can see it. He doesn't have his energy right now.

00:30Potentially. I don't know. I got to talk to Rick. But he's exhausted right now.

00:38He ain't playing tonight. We got to absolutely consider giving him a night and getting him

00:45rejuvenated for the sake of him and the remainder of our games.

00:52I mean, do you realize how long the NBA playoffs are?

00:57I mean, they're already crying about this guy being tired.

01:01I played two games yesterday. I played for 90 minutes in the morning. I played at night at

01:0610 o'clock at night. I played in a game. I don't understand. I played on an NBA court

01:11running up and down. I'm 60 years old. What is tired? Tired. Refund. What is tired?

01:21What do they got? They got 15, 20 games left. That's before they play for two months if they

01:27want to win a title. What is tired? I don't even know what that means. You know what I mean?

01:34Honestly, this load management and NBA and guys taking nights off and guys shutting it down.

01:41Honestly, I don't know one player in my life that doesn't want a ball. I'm playing tomorrow

01:46545 in the morning. I should be in bed. I don't want to hear it about tired. That is so candy to

01:53me. What soft ass, wussy ass shack is this you're telling me about being tired? What is tired?

02:02I'm tired when I'm going to bed. What is tired? Well, look, and you had the nuggets do it last

02:08night with Joker and Murray not playing in that game. Now I know they won, so whatever,

02:13that's like a story now. How are you going to do that? It was a national TV game. I mean,

02:17they should get fined like some of these other teams are getting fined, right? So fine. But at

02:22the end of the day, as we said before, these fines that they do, 50,000, 100,000, to these owners,

02:30that's like a $5 bill in my pocket. So I mean, that does absolutely nothing to them for that.
