Golden State Warriors fans were not anticipating a defeat as the team faced the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night. However, Ben Simmons and his squad managed to rally and secure a 128-120 victory over Stephen Curry and the Warriors.
While Brooklyn fans celebrated Dennis Schroder’s key contributions to the win, Warriors fans turned their attention to their own team’s shortcomings, specifically targeting head coach Steve Kerr. Many fans took to social media to criticize Kerr’s decision to limit Curry’s minutes, blaming the loss on what they viewed as overly cautious management of the star player’s time on the court.
Curry, who played only 29 minutes, still managed to put up 28 points, along with four rebounds and seven assists. However, fans argued that if Kerr had allowed Curry to play more, the game’s outcome might have been different. The criticism didn’t stop at Kerr’s decisions; some fans even labeled him as the “most overrated coach in the NBA.”

In addition to criticizing Kerr, fans also urged Curry to take a more vocal stance about his minutes. They drew comparisons to LeBron James and suggested that Curry should advocate for more playing time to assert his dominance on the court. LeBron’s ability to influence his playing time has often been praised, and fans called on Curry to adopt a similar approach.
Stephen Curry Makes NBA History Despite Warriors Loss
Although the Golden State Warriors suffered a disappointing loss to the Brooklyn Nets, there was a bright moment for Stephen Curry. The Warriors’ star made NBA history by becoming the first player ever to reach 3,800 career three-pointers.
Curry achieved this incredible milestone in the first 17 minutes of the game, scoring 10 points while shooting 3-of-7 from beyond the arc. His dominance in the three-point game continues to set him apart, as no other player in NBA history has even reached 3,000 made threes.
Recently, James Harden climbed to second place on the all-time three-point list by surpassing Ray Allen. However, even the Los Angeles Clippers acknowledged that catching Curry’s record may be impossible for any player. The Warriors legend is averaging 22.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game this season.
