Steve Kerr 'not doing my job well' as Warriors continue to struggle - ESPN

The Golden State Warriors continue to waste the spectacular efforts of Stephen Curry, who has scored 87 points in two games since returning from a quad injury, but seen his team lose both to drop to 13-14 for the season.

«I'm not doing my job well this year,» coach Steve Kerr told reporters in Portland after Curry made 12 3-pointers and scored 48 points in a 136-131 loss to the Trail Blazers on Sunday.

Curry passed Michael Jordan for the most 40-point games in NBA history after turning 30 years old (45), but the Warriors gave up 40 fourth-quarter points to blow a 10-point lead in the final 10 minutes.

Kerr and the Warriors are attempting — and failing — to solve numerous problems.

Kerr identified rampant turnovers as the issue that he believes is holding them back most. The Warriors are turning the ball over an average of 16 times per game, sixth most in the NBA. They are 4-11 this season when they commit more turnovers than their opponent.

The Warriors had 18 turnovers on Sunday, including eight from Draymond Green. In three losses to a young and otherwise struggling Blazers team this season, the Warriors have turned it over 25, 14 and 18 times, sparking their transition game.

«Just making bad reads, bad decisions,» Green told reporters postgame. «Be more decisive. Take better care of it. Too f---ing old to be doing that.»

Those turnovers are partly to blame for what has been an inefficient offense — a 113.4 rating, ranked 20th out of 30 teams — despite employing one of the greatest offensive performers in league history.

In Curry's 564 minutes this season, the Warriors score at a respectable 118.4 clip, which would rank sixth. But he has missed nine games and sits an average of 16.7 minutes even on nights he is active.
