Is Warriors' coach making the right move or hurting the team's chances? Find out here!

Warriors coach Steve Kerr is facing backlash for reducing Stephen Curry's minutes on the court. Kerr explained that the decision was aimed at giving Curry more rest to avoid over-reliance on him. Despite the Warriors' recent loss to the Timberwolves, Kerr defends his strategy of managing Curry's playing time carefully.

In a surprising move, the Minnesota Timberwolves outlasted the Warriors 114-110, with Anthony Edwards leading the charge. Edwards scored 23 points and sealed the victory with clutch free throws in the final seconds. The Santa Cruz Warriors also faced defeat against the Stockton Kings, with guard Kendric Davis shining with an impressive performance.

While Curry challenges Kerr's decision, the Warriors are slipping in the standings. Kerr's limited use of Curry in crucial moments raises questions about the team's playoff prospects. Additionally, as the NBA Power Rankings reveal a shift in the Western Conference dynamics, the Rockets and Pelicans are emerging as contenders, posing a threat to the Warriors' postseason aspirations.

Despite the setback, Curry's absence in pivotal game moments sparks debates among fans and analysts. Kerr's approach to managing Curry's playing time becomes a focal point as the Warriors navigate through a challenging season. The tension between Curry's desire to contribute more and Kerr's strategic decisions adds an intriguing layer to the team dynamics, shaping their trajectory towards the playoffs.
