Despite their big win over the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, both Stephen Curry and Steve Kerr agree that the Golden State Warriors' main issue offensively is the difference in personnel compared to past years.
After picking up their first win of the season on Sunday, Kerr expressed his belief that they are starting to figure things out on offense. Given his relatively new roster, Kerr is slowly discovering what type of offensive scheme will work well. Their win over Chicago definitely opened up a lot of things.
Steve Kerr said he's starting to "get a better feel" how this new Warriors roster should play offensively. He's simplifying things. Kerr: "I’m finding we need to get more guys into high step-ups, getting them downhill, spacing the floor."

Stephen Curry echoed Steve Kerr's sentiments. The reason for the Warriors' early struggles is the fact that their roster is new, but Steph is confident they'll learn more about one another as the season progresses.
Steph says the offense is completely different because of different personnel, but "That's OK. We're learning and growing."

Curry himself dropped a game-high 36 points, along with two rebounds, six assists, two steals and two blocks. He knocked down five 3-pointers and was a perfect 9-of-9 from the free-throw line. Andrew Wiggins had 19 points and nine boards, while Damion Lee—who hit the game-winning 3-pointer—had 12 points after a stellar 4-of-5 from downtown.
Warriors fans were definitely relieved after their team's win on Sunday. After all, the Dubs lost their first two opening games, which included a horrendous 39-point loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Christmas.
Their recent win coupled with Kerr and Curry's analysis should send a ray of hope to the Warriors faithful. The season is long and teams will have ample time to make little tweaks to their playbook. There's no reason to panic or give up this early in the season.
