Steve Kerr sure did rip his team after his team's 130-119 loss in Phoenix.
He's not the type to attack his players, especially given their accomplishments, but he all but said they are just going through the motions and not paying for each other, everyone with their own agenda. He even implied they are so disjointed that they aren't bothering to huddle on the court to pick each other up when someone makes a mistake.
While Kerr's observations can't really be argued, what might be the cause? Do any of you think the Draymond punch damaged the team esprit de corps so much that this lack of team unity and purpose can be traced to it? Poole and Wiggins got big contract extensions, so they should be relaxed, free to just ball out. Within this malaise, Curry goes for 50 and is playing better than he ever has.
Once again, Poole came off the bench and was terrible one night after starting and being brilliant. Thompson was only 6-17/3-9, and the W's gave up 130, so not like Thompson was great either.
It's too early to write the Warriors off, but something is not right with the team, and several players individually.
