"Because right now, the Dubs aren't a basketball team. They are a desperation experiment. It's no longer Strength in Numbers, it's Throw Spaghetti at the Wall and Pray it Looks Like Art. Spoiler alert: It doesn't. It looks like a mess. And it reeks of panic. Steph Curry has scored 87 points in his first two games back from injury. Eighty-seven. He's playing at a First Team All-NBA level in his late 30s, defying physics, logic, and Father Time. And it hasn't mattered."
"Look around at the carnage. Kerrs on-court relationship with Jonathan Kuminga has reached an impasse, again. But beyond the that will-they, won't-they drama, look at the personnel: This rotation changes more often than NBA teams switch uniforms these days. (I'm saying it's a lot. I'm that old guy now.) Will Richard went from a nobody second-round pick to a rookie starter back to the end of the bench so fast he probably got whiplash."
Steve Kerr acknowledges poor coaching as the Warriors operate like a desperation experiment rather than a cohesive basketball team. The team exhibits erratic rotations, sudden promotion and demotion of players such as Will Richard, Jonathan Kuminga, and Quentin Post, and a sense of panic driving decisions. Steph Curry has scored 87 points in his first two games back yet the offense and roster instability render that production ineffective. Relationships and roles have become unclear, with Kerr's on-court rapport with Kuminga stalled and temporary starting assignments rapidly reversed. The franchise's habitual reliance on Curry to rescue outcomes no longer solves systemic breakdowns.
