Warriors vs Kings GM-9

Comments

JK’s trade value has certainly gone up. But what can we get in return that’ll actually make us a true contending favourite? Steph, Jimmy and Draymond aren’t good enough as the top 3 players of a contending team. There’s no one we can get in return that’ll address all our flaws.

Kevin Chan

its fitting in to a role when it gets ugly.. last night he had free reign

Athletic Alchemy

well said, everyone has blindspots/weakness

Athletic Alchemy

will should allow us to add size with one of these guards

Athletic Alchemy

TOV are systemic but I hear you

Athletic Alchemy

im saying!

Also completely agree on Moses braids, I thought the same thing. Losing hair is fine. Dying the hair you got is fine. The stuff that's cringey is when people do those desperate things like smearing paint on their scalp or combovers or trying to pretend they're keeping the hair when they are CLEARLY done for. Just rip the band-aid off bro. I respect Caruso for shaving it all early.

Really? I'll take 2-way Wiggs over Dennis the Menace any day. I regret doubting him while he was going through his personal issues.

Neal X

Buddy gave himself some benefit of the doubt with his Game 7 performance last year and playing solid D in the playoffs, but let's just say if Seth comes in and proves to be a much more consistent guy from 3, I think we move off him. Same goes with some of our other guards, and even Gui Santos if he can't defend his position. We need someone who can guard the power forwards and bigs that otherwise go to town on us, even if it means for the time being playing TJD and Post together. We can be old, and we can be small, but we can't be old AND small, AND inconsistent shooting on top of that.

Neal X

Why not just be honest and give the youngsters kudos. After all, with all those turnovers, they played like champs! 😎

Point Gawd

yea im not gone lie the kings commentators last night were hilarious and great . Ours suck unfortunately😭

itsRetire

I've been spoiled by Kruk and Kuip for the Giants for so long. I really wish we had a commentator like Barnett again who played long enough to have more insights and wisdom, Buike only played a few seasons, and Fitz has always been bad when doing Warriors games, he aint too bad when he's doing playoffs or FIBA.

John Z

i was more sad when they traded shroeder than wiggins

Elias Candelaria

its the same thing with this team all year. bad turnovers, stupid fouls and poor defense all over the roster. everybody was excited to start the year but the cracks are showing very early on. kerr is going to need to change some things

Johnny Marko

It's not the lack of Jimmy that's the reason for no foul shots, even with Jimmy this year they've decided we don't get free throws on the road

KuraiT

If the league would fuck right off with this weird vendetta they have against us and we just need to survive this BS early schedule and I like what this team could have by the last 3rd of the season. What a freaking steal we got with Richard! Late 2nd rounder and he gets a 30 piece in his first start, please Kerr give him GP2s minutes

KuraiT

I don’t know, man. Between age & reliance on the 3 ball, which player on this team has been more consistent night in and night out than JK?

Ejikeme Uzoigwe

I think now is the perfect time to remind yall the plan was to trade kuminga. We didn’t sign him with intentions to keep him unless he shows GREAT improvement. And we definitely didn’t sign him just to wait for him to underperform and trade him for nothing. We signed him to a trade friendly deal. We wanted his trade value to go up before the trade deadline and that’s exactly what we are getting. And let’s be honest, he’s the same player but the mistakes are less prevalent because he’s playing more unselfish. Regardless, he needs to go this season I’m sorry. His stock is finally high enough to where we can finally get what we wanted/needed. And for a player that we KNOW exactly what we are getting out of him every night.

Emmanuel Samuel

Kuminga is a terrible defender. He looks like a microwave scorer off the bench to me. I agree with you about Will and Moody. Melton might help defending quicker guards. We could also use Kuminga in a trade to improve our perimeter defense.

Christian Hollaway

I love Pat, but that was a game where the starting five shouldve played (seemingly) the entire time.

Jim

Despite the early success, feels similar to last season / there's gonna be a big shift at the deadline of what this team is and will be

Stevie Ray

This is how every fanbase feels about their young...

Stevie Ray

"this is like seeing a fat chick eating an apple, you don't see it often" Alch a wordsmith 🤣 tough loss but good learning experience.

broodje met beleg

Late in the fourth Steve went from Pods to Pat and the game fell apart. Didn’t understand the move, is pods on a mins restriction? Some other thoughts. Is Russell Westbrook a warriors killer? So many of our players are 3 or bust. Post, Al, Buddy, Gui, Pods even Moody, and Will.

Jrod

I’m not saying it’s perfect or that they’re the next dynasty or the next run tmc…but I really think the team might have something with JK, Moody & Podz. Just really complimentary skills & attitudes. If they all keep growing, they could make the foundation of at least a fun team to root for.

Ejikeme Uzoigwe

MDJ is looking to be a real asset going into the post dynasty years. It’ll be awesome if the Warriors end up becoming one of those teams that just “always seems to find these guys…”

Ejikeme Uzoigwe

So i only caught the first half, looking at the second half in this breakdown specifically what im seeing in the 4th, is that a 4 guard lineup? Man we have too many guards, shame JK got in foul trouble, the first half dynamic probably broke down with that.

Sarcasm 360

Agreed. Horford seemed sped up. He’s a role player and he needs the stars to give him the space. Will is a real one though. Sadly we’re piling up some bad losses

Gary

I think this game clarifies why Kerrs rotation and player choices, (see Podz, not playing Will, Bridge Troll in the past, Kuminga difficulties) are some of his weak points as a coach. On the Kings telecast the commentators were bloviating about Will's obvious electricity and professionalism, they were saying how all the Kings players "eyes get big" when Podz is defending against them, how they could understand Kuminga confusion of not knowing which way the wind is blowing in the Warriors coaching choices ( and how hard that would be for a young lottery pick coming into the league, trying to figure out his path and how to develop himself). Kerrs a great coach, but we all have our flaws. The more introspection we have, the more we can either work on those flaws, or at least as a coach, make sure we farm out those duties to someone else. As a fan of the Warriors and of good basketball at times I'm frustrated with Kerrs, rotations, player choices, not wanting to draft and play bigs (what the hell, this is a big mans game.) I make no apologies for being upset with some aspects of Kerrs choices. I want to see the best for the team. But then again I'm not nearly at the level of Lacob with my venture capital portfolio yet, so until this happens, Joe pays the big bucks and can do what he likes, (although I think he likes winning alot and has to put up with some of the shit from the coaches, players, agents etc)

Tyler Durden

Im not usually a blame the ref guy.. but those calls in the 2nd half were beyond suspicious.

Ballin Forever

For me it's the dumb banter between the two. Jim B was so good at giving facts about things, too. I miss that.

Prime Alch! Diabolical Dominican Diarrhea Fat chick eats an apple JK - wasn’t forcing previously w the vets, but obviously forcing last night in different role and mindset. Lack of trust? Ego? Insecurity? That unforced, ball/body movement game transfers to any personnel, young or old. Very few free throws w/o Jimmy! JK can do this, too, but doesn’t seem to realize it, especially when behind. I loved QP’s D/boards, playing more aggressively, affecting more shots. Al’s shot will come back, and thankfully he’s still a presence on D/boards. TJD acceptable. I’m trusting Will is moving up the ladder, as he’s so good on both ends. Mo too. Much as I dig Spencer, too, especially his energy and PG organization, he seemed to be trying to get his own a bit more than usual, and I would love to see him unlock others more often. A balance… SAC vets played like vets! DeRosen is nearly unstoppable in mid game, and Russ’ energy continues to amaze at his age. Dennis closed out the game very Shröedly.

Chip Tingle

This is that "Bestbrook" game that he gets once a year that keeps him in the league. 3/4 threes and 6/9 twos. That's better than his "MVP" year. Dogs ass, meet sunshine. Great game from Mo and Will; having them on the floor together is multiplicative.

Mike Peterson

Thats valid.. I thought he was taking it no hes

Athletic Alchemy

the $2 tier? Are you trying to upgrade or just unsubscribe?

Athletic Alchemy

Just curious, why does everyone say the warriors play by play is so bad?

Logan Harrington

There is no way Kerr can play GP2 over Will from today on. It just doesn’t make sense. Also the 3rd quarter fouls were one sided, it was literally insane. Kings got every call

Kahlil Baker

seems impossible to unsubscribe to the 2 membership

BillDub

I mean, tbh it's been drilled into kuminga head to not take that shot and get down hill

ACowNamedStan

Random thoughts after last nights game - Moses should start/close games - Will Richard needs rotation mins - We could use a legit backup PG - Quick guards will continue to burn this roster - Realistically, what is Podz ceiling? - JK defense IQ is poor - JK handles are poor - 3 below average centers

Mitch Coob

I advocate for post and he goes 0-5 next game, just my luck. We couldn’t get a thing from our bigs, add that on to the usual head scratching turnovers and dumb fouls and there we go. Honestly our team at full strength does the same thing so, progress?
