Kerr jokes about lipreading of him slamming Draymond

Leading into a TV timeout in Sunday's home loss to the Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was caught on camera appearing to complain about Draymond Green to assistant Mike Brown.

While the Twittersphere jumped on the matter immediately, Kerr declined comment after the game.

On Monday however, he offered a tongue-in-cheek response to what exactly he was seen saying. "The lip-readers were wrong," Kerr said. "What I said was, 'I beg to differ with Draymond's approach.'"

He also joked that he'll start covering his mouth on the sideline. "I've decided I'm going to get a giant laminated board, turn into an NFL coach," Kerr said, according to Slater.

However, when asked if he had spoken to Green about the matter, Kerr said that was "private."

Kerr and Green have had an occasionally stormy relationship throughout the Warriors' run of excellence, notably including a near-fight after a memorable 2016 game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
