NBA News and Update: Golden State Warriors’ Difficult Transition Period; What Stephen Curry Thinks About Their Team’s Performance After Three Games
Despite the collective talent of the Golden State Warriors, the NBA team is undergoing a challenging phase following their trouncing by the San Antonio Spurs and their not-so-easy victories over the injury-marred New Orleans Pelicans and the rebuilding Phoenix Suns. Stephen Curry, the Warriors' lead point guard has expected the outside critiquing and is aware of naysayers' external chatter.
After three games, the Warriors have struggled to present a solid team that is considered as one NBA's most prolific, three-point shooting wise. As of Oct. 31, 2016, the Warriors is among the bottom ten teams in the league in terms of shooting beyond the arc.
Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr is concerned that his men are not clicking. In a CBS report , Kerr discussed why integrating Kevin Durant has been tricky. Though Kerr is not in panic mode yet, he admits the bumps the team has faced to incorporate Durant. Compared to the Warriors' performance in the past seasons, Kerr is a little disappointed.
The Golden State Warriors' critics are having a field day - - one of them is Curry's arch nemesis, LeBron James. As reported by Business Insider, the Cleveland Cavaliers' leading man mocked the Warriors during a Halloween party. He donned an "Ultimate Warrior" T-shirt while holding the Cavaliers' 2015 NBA championship trophy.
For Kerr, the Golden State Warriors need to get "rhythm shots." He acknowledges the team's vulnerabilities but is keen to get every Warrior in sync. The stakes for the team is higher after winning an NBA-record of 73 games in 2015.
Golden State guard Stephen Curry says the Warriors plan to keep their identity as a fun but formidable team. For Andre Iguodala, the Warriors need to "stop being so tense." He believes that the team is going to get wins by playing with some energy and having fun.
