Is it time for Steve Kerr to shorten the Warriors’ rotation? Curry, others suggest yes.

There has been a record scratch on Golden State’s hot start to the season – the team has lost four straight games with a bottom-10 offense and defense during that stretch. The problem hasn’t been Stephen Curry, or for that matter Andrew Wiggins and Buddy Hield.

But much of the rest of the 12-man rotation coach Steve Kerr leaned into to start the season has fallen away. As NBC Sports Bay Area notedin the last six games, Jonathan Kuminga is 5-of-25 on 3-pointers, Moses Moody is 3-of-16, Brandin Podziemski is 5-of-25 and Lindy Waters is 9-of-31. This has led to questions about whether the inconsistency of a player’s rotations and minutes has played a role in this slump.

Curry thinks it can help, talks to Anthony Slater of The Athletic.

“Do we need to shorten it?” Curry said. “We probably need to be more predictable on a night-to-night basis so guys can get a little bit of a rhythm. Is it one or two guys short? Maybe.”

“It’s hard as hell,” Curry said. “There’s no way around it. Mo played two minutes tonight. Kyle played seven. Two games ago, Mo had a stretch where he had 15 (points) and then played four minutes in the second half. It’s tough for everybody. Coach’s job is to make the tough decisions, it’s our job to help him.

“It can be hard at times to find a rhythm without knowing what to expect from game to game,” Kevon Looney said. “But our guys do a good job of staying ready. Everybody knows they’re coming in at some point.

“(Kerr) is going to play all of us at some point. I just had to be ready at that point in the game to create a spark and bring energy and make plays.”

It’s something to look at. The Warriors have a couple of tough games coming up against Denver (an NBA Cup game, but the Warriors have already won the group, while the Nuggets aren’t mathematically eliminated with two losses, they are in practical terms) and Houston. We’ll see if Kerr shrinks his rotations, just a little, or if he’ll try to ride this depth further.
