Steve Kerr: “My Main Punishment This Year Is ___” | Steph Curry + Draymond Turnovers

Steve Kerr says Steph Curry and Draymond Green used to have an allowance of five or six turnovers between them. This year, that allowance is gone. Kerr even called that his “main punishment” — but he never really explained what happens if Steph and Draymond cross the line. Does it mean a quicker hook after a careless turnover? More accountability in practice and film? Or is it mainly part of Kerr’s larger effort to change the Warriors’ habits and win more consistently “in the margins”? I open with that question, then we hear Steve Kerr’s complete Warriors Media Day Q&A. 👇 SYNOPSIS CONTINUED BELOW 👇 📌 Join on our knowledge-based Discord server for real-time NBA news feeds on all things Warriors, plus SEARCHABLE VIDEO by topics, coaches, players. 🗞 Free Discord with categorized Warriors + NBA updates: https://whop.com/letsgowarriors (choose FREE version) 💎 VIP Discord with real-time news feeds, exclusive clips + insights: https://whop.com/letsgowarriors (choose VIP version) 📰 Substack: https://letsgowarriors.com YOUTUBE VERSION OF THIS EPISODE: https://youtu.be/mHz2J0krJXM (Entire Kerr transcript/timestamps can be found there) THIS ORIGINALLY APPEARED LIVE HERE: \[n/a] 👇 Kerr also discusses Kristaps Porzingis being out indefinitely, Yaxel Lendeborg’s role, reimagining Draymond’s offense, Steph’s knee and workload, why Kerr decided to return, Golden State’s five-out approach, Brandin Podziemski’s future, Frank Vogel joining the staff and much more.
