Kawakami: Steve Kerr’s “Hell Yeah” Game 2, playoff plus-minus totals and Warriors future payroll notes

CLEVELAND–OK, I’m back in this town for the first time since last June, there’s an entire additional off-day tomorrow before Game 3 at Quicken Loans Arena, and I’m still thinking about what we saw Sunday night in Game 2.

Basically, we saw the physical and real-time manifestation of what Steve Kerr told me last week, when I asked him if he for sure will coach again.

Game 2 — Kerr’s return to the sidelines after missing the previous 11 playoff games — as a Hell Yeah Moment for Kerr, for the Warriors, and for everybody wondering how much he loves coaching and how much this franchise coalesces around his intellect, humor, creativity and yes, his ferocious competitive fire.
