Here’s the San Francisco Chronicle reporting on the Warriors, who begin a new journey under head coach Steve Kerr:
Kerr said he’ll use elements of the triangle offense from Chicago, the ball movement that distinguishes San Antonio, the fast pace Phoenix used when Kerr was GM and assistant coach Alvin Gentry was leading the show and even plays from last year’s Warriors team that were successful.
The common idea will be to push the ball ahead to the wings in an effort to attack a retreating defense. If there’s no shot there, the ball will cycle around the court and back into point guard Stephen Curry’s hands – where a designed play will commence. Finally, Curry can go back to the old pick-and-roll if it gets late in the shot clock.
Through it all, Kerr will focus on ball movement.
Ball movement has “always been my philosophy,” Kerr said. “That’s always been a part of my basketball DNA and my belief system.”
