MILWAUKEE -- The NBA announced on Sunday that Golden State Warriors?coach Steve Kerr has been fined $25,000 for public criticism of officiating during a radio interview on Thursday.
Alonzo Mourning Jersey .Kerr went on KNBR 680 after the Warriors played the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday at Air Canada Centre. The hosts of the radio program were discussing how traveling has regularly gone unpunished in recent years, and Kerr used the opportunity to call out a missed travel call on Raptors All-Star DeMar DeRozan.Speaking of which, did you enjoy the DeMar DeRozan foray to the rim last night? Kerr asked. How is it that everybody on earth can see these traveling violations except for the three people that we pay to do the job? I dont get it. Its bizarre. ... But I can literally put together a blooper reel of plays that are embarrassing travels that are just not called.The play in question was when DeRozan took four steps to get to the basket and no whistles were blown.Kerr later said: Its a case of they have so many things to look at. They are looking at defensive three seconds, theyre looking at contact in the lane when people are cutting through. They are looking at the charge and block circle. They are looking at everything except what they should be looking at, which is the basic rule of the game: which is traveling.Its a shame. Guys are getting away with murder out there. And fans see it. My favorite is when you see the visiting team travel and you see like a 1,000 fans in the background all doing the traveling signal with their hands. If those people saw it, how come the refs didnt?The Warriors beat the Raptors 127-121.

BALTIMORE -- Getting off to the worst start in franchise history is one thing.Being historically bad on a grand scale is quite another, and the winless Cleveland Browns now have only six games left to avoid that kind of infamy.Facing the team that once called Cleveland home, this Browns team stayed competitive for a half before falling 28-7 to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night.That left the Browns at 0-10, their worst start to a season since Cleveland joined the NFL in 1950.It cant get much worse than that, can it? Well, perhaps. Because the Browns are now staring at one of the most dubious set of numbers in NFL history: 0-16.The 2008 Detroit Lions are the only team in NFL history that went winless over a 16-game schedule. And now the Browns are hot on their trail.The mindset is you have to stay positive, 10-year offensive tackle Joe Thomas said. Were going to have to try to find a way to get a win here.It appeared the Browns had a shot in this one after they took a 7-3 lead in the second quarter and were still ahead 7-6 at halftime -- despite starting the game with a timeout on the first play from scrimmage because there were 12 men on the field.The second half was littered with turnovers and sacks, along with another quarterback change. Josh McCown proved to bbe even worse than starter Cody Kessler, and the result was another lopsided loss.
Dell Curry Hornets Jersey. Cleveland has gone through six different quarterbacks this season. On this night, neither the starter nor his replacement could put a dent in the Baltimore defense.I know I made the statement before about playing musical chairs. I wasnt playing musical chairs today, coach Hue Jackson insisted. I was trying to give our offense a chance to function at a fast rate. ... Thats the decision I thought I needed to make and I made it. I dont regret it at all.The Browns have made the playoffs only once since the team rebooted in 1995 after the original franchise moved to Baltimore and left the records behind.This team, however, is the worst of them all.Its tough, theres no way around it, McCown said. When you go through something like this. Nobody expects things to go this way. It can get heavy but the group in there, the way theyre fighting and the way they come to work every day, those are the things we can draw on.It sure would be a lot easier to go to work with a victory to talk about.---For more NFL coverage:
