Details About Stephen Curry’s Minutes Strategy During Warriors’ Loss to the Nets, Revealed

To say that Stephen Curry is the central figure to the Golden State Warriors incredible start to the season is an understatement.

The future Hall of Famers lethal three-point shooting greatly impacts his teams early-season success in the Western Conference .

While Currys still a terrific star for Golden State, years of high-level play has already impacted his danger as a high-volume scorer in a league where athleticism and youth are valuable assets.

For a player like Steph who isnt athletic in the first place, it is evident how the years are catching on to the greatest shooter the NBA has ever seen.

Even the most casual fan would notice how Steve Kerr is taking a different approach to running the offense through Curry.

Hes using more of his rotation to keep his star player in the best condition for the entire season.

Kerr went into further detail about the steps hes taking to help his star as the Warriors look to keep their spot in the West.

Steve Kerr discusses Warriors tactics to keep Stephen Curry as healthy as possible Kerr admits that limiting his star guard to 32 minutes a game is their approach to keeping him as fresh as possible so he can positively impact the roster throughout the regular season.

Per Will Simonds of NBC Sports Bay Area : We usually pencil him in for 32 [minutes], and we like to keep it around that number, Kerr told reporters at Chase Center.

We were able to give him a good rest in the first half because the second unit was playing really well.

I dont love to run him the whole fourth quarter and I like to have him close with some energy, and so that means if we can give him that last eight minutes generally, I feel pretty good about that.

But at that point, Brooklyn was rolling, and we couldnt slow them down.

Its clear with his per-game averages how the Warriors tactical decision is affecting him.

The Baby-Faced Assassin is averaging 22.4 points, a number he hasnt gotten since the 2012-13 season.

However, he continues to be effective in other areas with 5.4 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and 1.6 steals.

The Warriors may have lost to the Brooklyn Nets more recently , but the Dubs strategy is doing wonders for Curry.

His stat line of 28 points, four boards, seven dimes, and one steal shows that the 36-year-old continues to perform at a high level.

Looking at how the rest of the Golden State roster is performing and their current standing in the West, Kerrs decision to limit Stephs minutes is working wonders.

Fans hope that the Dubs continue to play well throughout the campaign and push them to a strong postseason.
