The 2017 NBA playoffs thread

[Ronin]

Shaun Livingston (hand) and Matt Barnes (ankle) went through shootaround, but both remain questionable to play Monday vs. Portland.
Livingston has had a full seven days to rest up his bruised hand, so he has to be close to getting back to the court. Barnes also should be close after spending a little over two weeks on the sidelines, and if both these guys are able to get back to the floor tonight, there will be fewer minutes available for Patrick McCaw and Ian Clark. Stay tuned.

Kyle Lowry is feeling much better. Game-time call, but much improved from this morning.

Casey said Lowry "is much better from what he was this morning." Did not say if he was playing yet.

Local media reporting it's possible Steve Kerr's done as coach of the Warriors. Apparently has complications from his spinal surgery a few years ago and is in so much pain he's having nausea and migraines and may step down as coach.

Brutal he's the same age as me.
