After losing to the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday by a score of 143- 113, the Warriors have now dropped two straight games. Even without Kyrie Irving, Brooklyn led 91-51 at the break.

"This is gonna be Steve Kerr's biggest challenge," Perkins said.

In his ninth season as the Warriors' coach, Kerr (15-18). His first five seasons were incredibly successful, and his top performers were at the height of their careers.

He must now prove his mettle as a coach. Even though Steph Curry was having one of his finest seasons, the club was having trouble staying above.500 before to his injury.

Injuries ravaged the Warriors' roster, and Kevin Durant departed the team for Brooklyn, thus there weren't many expectations for the Warriors going into the 2019-20 season.

When a team is humiliated in back-to- back games, the media and fans frequently point the finger at the coach.

The players Kerr has to rely on in situations like these did not assist him.

Jordan Poole scored just 13 points and shot a terrible 1- for-11 from outside the arc. In 23 minutes, Draymond Green only contributed two points, four rebounds, and six assists while making only two shots.
