Steve Kerr hits Warriors with harsh reality after blowout win over Zombie Pacers

Steve Kerr Confronts Warriors' Current Challenges After Win

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr offered a candid evaluation of his team following a 114-83 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. Despite the convincing win, Kerr admitted the Warriors have yet to establish a clear identity during the 2025-26 season, which includes many new additions such as Jimmy Butler.

Kerr's Honest Assessment of the Team

In his first full regular season with Golden State, Butler is averaging 18.9 points on efficient 50.4% shooting, including 40.9% from three-point range. However, the team struggles to find consistent flow, as Kerr acknowledged after the game, according to The Athletic's Anthony Slater.

“We're not playing very well, clearly. We had a great fourth quarter, end of third, and then, fourth quarter, the ball started moving, there was some flow. But, overall, we haven’t played really well,” Kerr said.

Outlook for the Season

Kerr remains optimistic despite the early struggles and a tough schedule, including multiple back-to-back games. He emphasized the importance of health and steady progress throughout the season.

“But I’m very confident in this team. It's going to be a tough trip. As you mentioned, two back-to-backs — we kind of felt like getting through this early part of the schedule in one piece and, if we're healthy, win our share of games. It sets up the rest of the season well. Obviously, we gave a couple of games away. But, all in all, we're pretty healthy, and we're going to get there. I can see what kind of team we’re going to be. But we don’t really have our identity yet,” Kerr concluded.

Summary

Steve Kerr acknowledges that while the Warriors have yet to find their rhythm, his confidence in the team's potential remains strong as they navigate a challenging season.
