Steve Kerr Golden State Warriors Motion Weak by Adam Spinella
Everyone suspected Steve Kerr’s playbook with the Warriors would include a mix of both the Triangle Offense and some of Gregg Popovich’s common sets, Motion Strong and Motion Weak. However, it was anticipated that he would lean a bit heavier on the Triangle than he is; the staple of Kerr’s playbook is his reliance on Motion Strong and Motion Weak.
But Steve Kerr doesn’t just run these sets the same way Popovich does – he runs them flowing freely into a Horns set, where a read-and-react offense then takes hold. Watch below to see how he simply raises the man off the cross screen to the elbow to start a Horns formation right out of Motion Weak.
One of the reasons the Warriors fired Mark Jackson was because they desired more movement off the ball, and Kerr’s newly designed offense absolutely accomplishes that. Steve Kerr is very innovative with his offense and it’s part of the reason the Warriors are off to an amazing start to the NBA season.
