Steve Kerr and the Warriors face a critical challenge adapting to the Timberwolves' defense amid a 3-1 playoff series deficit and without star player Steph Curry due to injury. Kerr acknowledged that the team's usual strategies are ineffective without Curry, whose absence has significantly altered gameplay dynamics. Players struggled to capitalize on open shots, and Draymond Green criticized the team for their poor shooting performance. The Warriors, needing to redefine their approach, confront the reality that Curry's impact is irreplaceable in high-pressure playoff situations.
Without Steph, the game changes and we have to adapt accordingly, said Kerr, whose team remained tight-lipped about Curry's status. Without the greatest shooter to ever live and the Warriors' spiritual heartbeat, every aspect of the game has become radically different and far more difficult.
When you've got Steph out there, you can turn down looks because you can go and play on the backside and he creates so many... but when he's not, you turn down that first open look and then go looking for something else and it may not open up again.
