Kerr explained how when the Bulls used to go on the road, the opponent’s arena was half-filled with red #23 jerseys. Now, when the Warriors hit the road, the arenas are filled with Blue and Yellow #30 jerseys. It’s just the impact Steph has on the game, the crowd, and the players that got him the MJ comparison from his head coach.

Reacting to the same, Steph was elated, and said he doesn’t take it for granted.

Can Steph lead the Dubs to a good playoff seed?

For the Warriors, the first task on their mind would be to get a playoff seeding. While getting anywhere in the Top-6 of the conference is good, but Top-4 would be ideal. Once the playoffs start and the Warriors are healthy, it’s a whole different equation.

Stephen Curry and co are the defending champions, and other teams have to beat them in a seven-game series. The Warriors can get a great seeding if they get consistent with their work, no matter whether it’s on the road or at home.
