Steve Kerr explains why Warriors can't turn Steph Curry into James Harden

As Golden State Warriors were preparing to face New Orleans Pelicans, Steve Kerr explained why they can't turn Stephen Curry into Houston Rockets' James Harden. Speaking ahead of the game, Steve Kerr said: "I don't know that it's that simple. We could turn [Curry] into James Harden and give him the ball every play, but that's really hard to do. You have to build a team for that. "Houston has put five shooters on the floor for years now with Harden to give him that space. We don't have that kind of personnel. There's not the same spacing. "That kind of basketball wears you out, too, especially for a guy who is 180 pounds like Steph is. So, I don't think the answer is just run a million high screens. We don't really have the personnel for that." "I don't think it makes a ton of sense from Steph's standpoint," Kerr continued. "What we have to figure out is how can we free him up better. Those are the things we are exploring every day. "How can we free him up without having the floor-spacing bigs that are popular around the league. So, trying to create space, trying to create penetration, trying to create clean looks and an offensive rhythm within all that. "That's the challenge. That's what we're working on."  Golden State Warriors eventually won the game with a 134-123 score over Pelicans. source - nbcsports
