Having the best record in the NBA at the moment, the Golden State Warriors can afford to focus on ironing out the little details.
With a 42-7 record two weeks into the All-Star break, the defending champions spent Tuesday morning watching a video session of assistant coach Ron Adams and Orville Redenbacher side by side with each other. As reported in SF Gate, the Warriors find themselves in enviable territory. While other teams try to work out locker room issues, the league leading Warriors focus on the small details.
Aside from owning the best record in the NBA, Golden State also leads the league in several departments. An article published in Bet It Best revealed that Golden State is the top team in defensive and offensive rating, scoring, field goal percentage, assists, fastbreak points, point margin, opponent scoring, opponent field-goal percentage, steals, and blocks. The team's coach Steve Kerr has been voted as coach of the Western Conference during the All-Star Game.
"There are little details defensively. There are little things we see on film. Offensive execution at key times. Making sure we really get a good possession when the other team is on a run. Those are little things that creep into the film." Making sure we really get a good possession when the other team is on a run. Those are little things that creep into the film." Kerr said.
According to the website of Warriors Central, Steve Kerr has had more Coach of the Month citations than any other coach in the league. The Warriors will have four players in the All-Stars and its coaching staff will complete the Western Conference in the annual event.
The team's biggest concern during the start of the season was already addressed by the coaching staff. Their interior defense, which was one of their weaknesses in the past, has become a strength.
