3. If the Warriors are up by 25 at any point, Steve Kerr must get in the game

Now this is obviously assuming that Steve Kerr’s back is 100 percent healthy and in playing shape. If not, he’ll have the option for a substitute coach to get in the game for him instead.

How many times do we look up at the scoreboard when Golden State’s playing and they’re up 25? Happened a lot during the regular season, during the playoffs and is bound to happen in the NBA Finals at some point too.

When Golden State goes into overdrive and gets up by that much, they go into cruise control and the opponent has absolutely no chance to get back into the ball game. So, let’s make it a little interesting and allow for opponents to make a come back.

So here’s the proposed rule: every time the Warriors go up by 25, they must take out one of their players, and their head coach — or substitute coach of his choice, if hurt — must take that player’s spot in the game for the remaining time.

Dubs’ fans, don’t worry Steve Kerr was fantastic in the NBA as a player. He might be 51 years old, but he was a stud on the Bulls’ teams and averaged 6.0 points in a career where he played 910 games. Don’t sleep on Kerr’s competitive spirit and fire to help him in these games.
