victories on their way to a historic 73-win campaign. But expect a little more
trial and error and a little less intensity this time around, Warriors coach
Steve Kerr said.I dont think well have that this year, Kerr said. Weve kind of
been through that. Wed rather win a championship than set a record, thats for
sure.Last year we felt like we could do both -- and we were pretty close -- but
we couldnt pull it off. This years more about just growing and getting better
and experimenting the first couple months of the season.This approach is also
framed by Kerrs experience as a player on the Chicago Bulls teams that won three
consecutive championships from 1996 to 1998.When most fans think of the end of
that run, they immediately summon the lasting image of Michael Jordan hitting
the winning shot over Bryon Russell in the 1998 NBA Finals. Kerr remembers the
difficult buildup, with Scottie Pippen fighting through a back injury, the Bulls
falling behind by double-digits and facing the prospect of a Game 7 on the road
to finish their long journey.We were running on fumes, Kerr said. I think the
toll was over several years. Thats one of the reasons I think this year were
going to pace ourselves somewhat ... but were also better off having the new
blood and the new life, because I think it will give us that boost.It doesnt
guarantee that were going to be better, but it changes the dynamics a little
bit. I think itll make things a little fresher, and make it maybe a little
easier for us to get through the regular season and get through the grind.The
Bulls teams from 1996 to 1998 had 10 players along for all three seasons; the
Warriors have only six players who were on the roster for the past two trips to
the Finals, five who logged significant minutes, creating a balancing act for
Kerr.While the new players like Kevin Durant bring fresh perspective, it will
also require Kerr to make greater use of the new and old players to develop
chemistry.Last year, the key players might have played a couple more games than
normal because the team wanted to set the new regular-season record of 73
victories, although Kerr said it wasnt physical fatigue that cost the
Warriors.The toll was more emotional than anything, Kerr said Friday, ahead of
the Warriors preseason game against the Denver Nuggets. Over time, that stuff
adds up. Thats why LeBron [James] going to the Finals six straight years is, to
me, one of the great accomplishments of all time. Like, how many guys have done
that? Maybe Bill Russell was the last guy. I know Michael didnt do it because he
took a couple of years off. Larry Bird, Magic [Johnson] never did it. ... Six is
incredible.All of that extra basketball is one reason James has come to value
time off during the regular season; he hasnt played more than 77 games in any of
the past four years. Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson all played
more than that last season.Kerr is also mindful of the need to keep his star
players on the court to satisfy the paying customers -- especially with the
amplified interest in this team from the addition of Durant. Kerr even plans to
play his starters on both nights of preseason back-to-back games this weekend,
against the Nuggets in Denver and the Los Angeles Lakers in Las Vegas.Its a
tricky issue on this team because people come out to see these guys play, Kerr
said. I am sensitive to that. Not at the expense of our teams health, but if
guys are healthy, at the very minimum I want to throw them out there -- for a
few minutes, anyway -- so fans get to see them play. But health always comes
first.

The CEO of next years Rugby League World Cup has surprisingly resigned amid
reports he had fallen out with Penrith CEO Corey Payne over the tournaments NSW
snub.Michael Brown stepped down on Friday as 2017 Rugby League World Cup boss
and also resigned as NRL chief commercial officer, blaming stress.Brown - who
was appointed in June - made the shock call just three days after he unveiled
the tournament draw in Brisbane.The task of taking on two such senior roles -
especially away from my home town of Melbourne - has been particularly
stressful, he said in a statement.However, Brown reportedly quit after a stoush
with Payne over the tournaments schedule.News Corp Australia reports Brown left
a scathing text message on Paynes phone following the scheduling criticism from
the Panthers CEO.NSW host just two of the tournaments 28 games - two of minnows
Lebanons pool matches at Sydneys ANZ Stadium.Brown said at the tournament draw
launch that the NSW government failed to come to the party financially and so
the state was largely overlooked in the schedule.Even AFL-mad Darwin will host a
quarter-final after NSW government disinterest.But Payne slammed organisers over
the World Cup draw in an open letter to Panthers members on Tuesday night on the
NRL clubs website.ddddddddddddHe said it was mind boggling that organisers did
not allocate a World Cup game in western Sydney.I am extremely disappointed that
we have been snubbed by the NRL for commercial reasons, he wrote.It is a real
shame that the NRL cannot see the opportunity out here in the west.If they
cannot make World Cup games commercially viable in western Sydney, then I must
be living on the moon - western Sydney deserves better.NRL CEO Todd Greenberg
and World Cup chairman George Peponis said they understood Browns position and
accepted his resignation.RLWC chief operating officer Maria Sykes will be
interim CEO.The NRLs head of commercial Andrew Abdo will report directly to
Greenberg.The World Cup preparations are well advanced and I am very confident
the foundations are in place for a successful tournament, Brown said.The NRL has
also put together a strong commercial team to take the game forward so this is
an appropriate time to step aside.
