Steve Kerr provides an honest evaluation of Steph Curry’s recent difficulties.
After Thursday’s humiliating 114-102 loss to the Miami Heat, Steve Kerr and his coaching staff have a lot to be concerned about. After the game, he attacked the slugging Dubs, labeling them as “demoralized.” There will be more tough choices and challenging discussions ahead as the Warriors continue to hone down on the ideal lineup combinations and nightly rotation. They haven’t played as well defensively since Draymond Green’s suspension and are unable to prevent costly streaks of turnovers.
Last on Kerr’s extensive list of worries regarding the Warriors in 15–16? Following a drab Christmas effort in Golden State’s hard-fought loss to Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets, Steph Curry’s unexpєcted problems continued against Miami.
“That evening wasn’t his.” On the postgame podium, Kerr stated, “This is all part of an 82-game season where guys are going to have some tough nights, some tough stretches.” “I’m definitely not concerned about Steph.”
On Thursday, Curry made 3 of 15 shots for 13 points, missing six of his eight efforts from outside the arc. In the Nuggets game, he was even less effective, requiring 21 shots—13 of which were three-pointers—to score 18 points. Curry wasn’t nearly as harassed by Miami’s solid, reliable defense as he was by Kentavious Caldwell-Pope at Denver on Thursday night. Similar like Klay Thompson against the Heat and Nuggets, the greatest shooter of all time missed a number of shots that he usually makes.
Curry and the Warriors resume their crucial seven-game homestand against the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday. If he manages to get out of his short rut, don’t be shocked.
