Many felt like the Golden State Warriors dynasty came to an end after they took two embarrassing losses to the Pelicans and the Raptors back-to-back at the Chase Center. While some have blamed Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, or Draymond Green, an equal number of people have also been furious at head coach Steve Kerr as well. As the Warriors are going down the table day by day, analysts and veterans continue to call out the team, and the latest was Kendrick Perkins, who has blatantly blamed Steve Kerr for the downfall.
Both the players and the fans of Dub Nation have been unhappy with Kerr’s lineups and regulations so far. With all hell breaking loose, Kerr has also admitted that the team is lacking confidence and is fragile. Well, Perk blames the 58-year-old coach for it.
Kendrick Perkins shared on ESPN today, “Steve Kerr is getting exposed. We saw the Pelicans, they were ready to play, we saw the Pelicans go for the 50-50 ball, we saw the Pelicans contesting jump shots. We saw Toronto go in a couple of nights before and put up a 133 on them.”

Perkins believes the spirit comes from the coach. The 2008 NBA champion added, “The spirit, the energy comes from what your coach is saying…They are playing with a lack of effort, they are playing with a lack of urgency right now, no fight whatsoever.”

It has been a decade since Steve Kerr came to the franchise. He has been with the team from the start of the dynasty too, but all things should come to an end. Kerr’s contract with the team is coming to an end this summer. He firmly believes that the front office will cut him a deal soon, but there could be a turn of events.
Kerr has been called out for his ineffective use of rookies. Podziemski and Trayce Jackson Davis have grown under his leadership. However, Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody have hardly gotten any minutes, despite being efficient.
