Hammon, displaying a zero with an arrow through it, echoed Kendrick Perkins’s sentiment, symbolizing her doubt about the Warriors’ ability to clinch another title under Kerr’s leadership, albeit expressing affection for the team.
Despite Kerr’s successful track record with four NBA championships in his first decade with the Warriors, he has faced criticism, particularly regarding his lineup decisions in recent seasons. Perkins has been vocal in his criticism of Kerr and the Warriors, suggesting that major changes are necessary for the team’s success, including trading veteran players like Draymond Green and Klay Thompson.
Although the Warriors encountered challenges earlier in the season, including injuries and lineup disruptions, they have shown signs of improvement, winning nine of their last 11 games. Notably, Thompson’s transition to a bench role has proven effective, providing a spark for the team off the bench.
However, the Warriors face a competitive landscape in the Western Conference, currently fighting for a spot in the playoffs. With formidable competition ahead, their path to the NBA Finals remains uncertain, raising doubts about their ability to secure another championship under Kerr’s guidance.
