Steve Kerr’s patience thinning, but Warriors see no real alternatives

LOS ANGELES – Steve Kerr spent a few minutes before tipoff Wednesday night musing about his predicament, which has transformed him into a coach Jordan Bell and Damian Jones, to name two former Warriors, would not recognize. A coach with no choice but to tolerate the messes made by a roster heavy on youth and thinned by a slew of injuries. "We've had anywhere from eight to 10 guys available each night," Kerr said before a 120-94 loss to the Lakers at Staples Center.
