Steve Kerr teases ‘simpler’ offense ahead of Warriors’ pivotal offseason

The Golden State Warriors may not have been the pioneers of the five-out and delay action schemes but they sure do it the best out of any other team in NBA history. Steve Kerr has found a way to make the whole league revolve around them with his complimentary usage of stagger screens, off-ball movements, pin-downs, and constant relocation to the perimeter. This unlocked the full potential of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. But, their NBA Play-In loss to the Sacramento Kings proved that there needed to be changes.

Much like a lot of great coaches in the league, Steve Kerr noted that some new schemes needed to be employed. This was such that the Warriors could have a viable offense in the coming years. He outlined his plan involving Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson amid the looming schematic shakeups, via NBC Sports.

“I think the offense can help the defense. The game has always been connected. I think we’ve had a unique style for 10 years that’s mainly based on the off-ball movement of Steph and Klay, and the unique nature of Draymond being a point center, for lack of a better expression. We have unique players, so we’ve played a unique style,” Steve Kerr declared about their historic success.

He then added how he plans to revamp the Warriors’ offense after they struggled to find their identity this season and lost to the Kings.

“I need to create a simpler format. We’re still gonna do a lot of the things that we’ve done. We can’t go away from what has helped make us successful. But I think I need to teach it better, I need to simplify some things, I need to give our guys a little better template for how we’re gonna accomplish it,” the Warriors head honcho declared.
