But don’t tell that to the clipboard the Warriors coach smashed Thursday night during the third quarter of Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
Kerr told ESPN between the third and fourth quarters of Golden State's win over the Cavaliers he wasn’t happy with the way his team was playing as they saw their lead whittle away before he chopped the clipboard in half.
