Golden State Warriors: 20-1

In case Klay Thompson ends up getting that significant extension before the Oct. 31 deadline, then he should look at giving a portion of it to fresh Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, whose opened-up crime has been producing only quality seems for its shooting guard during the preseason.
Thompson can keep most of the cash; the huge majority of his improvement has to do with killer assurance and a perfect launch. We can’t charge Kerr for those items.
What is happening with Thompson is a symptom of a bigger change in Golden State–one that is giving rise to the expectation that last year’s 51-win campaign was just the start.
B/R’s Howard Beck chronicled the difficulties with former head coach Mark Jackson’s strategy of attack:”The crime too often stalled and stagnated, resulting in muddled isolation plays and contested jumpers. There was little movement or dynamism, and little sense of cohesion.”
Already among the league’s top defensive outfits (the Warriors ranked third in defensive performance last year),” Kerr’s club is currently moving the ball beautifully on offense. Andrew Bogut and David Lee, fantastic passers equally, are now hubs of the assault, and Stephen Curry, Andre Iguodala et al. are feasting on cuts, flares and brush screens.
All this, and Kerr has only had a few months to set up the fundamentals of his admittedly complicated plot.
If Golden State gets past the turnovers that hurt it last season and proceeded to crop up throughout the preseason, it is the group with the best opportunity to choose one of the West’s top 3 places from the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Los Angeles Clippers or San Antonio Spurs.
If this happens, Thompson won’t be alone in due a debt to Kerr. Fans across the Bay Area will be there with him.
