As his Golden State Warriors prepare for Sunday's all-important, regular-season finale against the Memphis Grizzlies, Warriors coach Steve Kerr wants his team to have a clear mindset about exactly how much is at stake. With a win, the Warriors will finish the regular season with a 39-33 record, a game ahead of the Grizzlies for the eighth spot in the Western Conference -- allowing for an easier path into postseason play. "We're really looking at this [as] we've got to win two out of our next three games," Kerr said after Saturday's practice. "So basically that starts tomorrow; so, in effect tomorrow is a playoff game. And we've got to win two before we lose two.
That's what it comes down to out of the next three. Like a little miniseries from the old days in the early '80s."
