Kerr and Warriors play joke on Gentry

Gentry had spent the off day on Sunday breaking down film of the Cleveland Cavaliers defense and coming up with a game plan for how the Warriors should attack it in the NBA Finals. And as usual, he'd sent off clips of a few dozen plays to Nick U'Ren, the Warriors' video coordinator, to present at the Golden State Warriors' Monday morning film session.
"I start in like, 'Guys, here are some of the plays we ran against them that really worked well,'" Gentry says. "And I look at the screen and it's all a bunch of fricking Pelicans highlights.
"They've got captions under the plays like, 'Boy, this team has a lot of potential.' There's this play with Anthony Davis dunking and the caption says, 'God, this guy is GOOD!'"
The whole room started rolling. Head coach Steve Kerr had told Gentry to go off to New Orleans over the weekend to finalize the job offer because the Warriors weren't doing anything substantive.
But with the Finals set to begin on Thursday, it was time to get serious and focus in now. And Gentry, already feeling a smidge of guilt for missing the light weekend practices despite Kerr's insistence that he go, was ready to lock in.
"At the end of the tape, there's a milk carton with my picture on [it] that says, 'Have you seen this guy? He's been missing in action,'" he says.

As the coaching staff broke down tape of Game 2 of the Warriors' first-round playoff series against the Pelicans, they noticed Green flop onto the ground following a tough pick by New Orleans center Omer Asik.
It was hilarious in real time, but even funnier in slow motion as Green flutters around on the ground like a fish that just washed up on shore.
"It was just a horrible acting job," says assistant coach Bruce Fraser. "We were like, 'We need to comment on that in a funny way.'

Pretty funny prank they pulled on him. I hope he brings the same attitude to the team here.

Seems like a cool staff/fun place to work in LA. Good example set by Management = Good results on the court.
Hope gentry does the same in NOLA.

Saw that on reddit last night. I'm conflicted on who I want to win the series. I root for LeBron but to have our new HC walk in on day 1 having just won a ring would be bad arse.

Half the team got their first taste of the playoffs this year, Gentry walking in with a ring on will probably make all of the running an easier sell.

I am not conflicted at all

2. F**K LBJ

reading piece and the Q&A article with him under it, could Gentry be anymore different than Monty?
He is going to fit in so well in this city.
