I think we still need a reliable 3 and D wing. A Kuzma/Cam Johnson will be ideal. Throwing Kyle Anderson, Moody and Gui Santos plus a couple of picks could work.

Hey guys lets be nice to super cocky podz who has 0 upside when no other player has been given that rope lol, now that dennis is here he should be a dnp most nights. Our late game execution has been too much hero ball or trying to make the great play instead of the simple play. Slow mo needs to play as well. Team is good enough but the coach has to actually want to win

There's no way to fix it without radically altering the game -- IMO the best way to tighten it up is to allow for more physical defense.

Streets are talking about Zion to the Warriors as an option, what are ur thoughts unc. To me its like playing the lottery. One one hand he could truly be ur second or number 1 option for curry and take this team over after he retires. On the other hand he could end up just having an injury riddled career. Either way this wont happen because pelicans would want a Danny Ange type of package for him.

I'm glad everyone is seeing this now. Kerr is not giving JK the confidence in these situations so even when he gets one chance to close, he is nervous cos he knows if he makes a mistake, he won't get another chance. We will keep losing these close games unless we change this Steph save us mentality

@Chip Tingle, yeah we are just as likely to get Franz than the Magic shipping out their young franchise player's productive older brother.

Absolutely no offense @Billy Roberson, because it is a great idea outside of that.
Jordan Smith
2024-12-16 23:28:46 +0000 UTC
The Jalen Brunson comp makes no sense to me other than they are both unathletic guards. But JB is a better shooter, has WAY better handles, is a MUCH better finisher, and a better passer than Podz. Not to mention that JB is has a scorers mentality.
Podz is a MUCH better connector (I know, I know) and gives so much more effort on D than JB it's not even fair. I think Podz will be a high level backup PG and is nowhere near as bad as he looks lately. But without elite ball handling and finishing there is NO small, unathletic guard that can be a star in the NBA. JB, Nash, Steph, Stockton (for his time) were/are all elite ball handlers and finishers.
Jordan Smith
2024-12-16 23:24:14 +0000 UTC
I completely agree. I mean damn, Wiggins literally won game 5 for us. Steph went 0-9 from 3 and Wiggins dropped 25 or 26 (I'm a fake fan lmao) in Game 5!!! How much more reliable can you get from a guy that isn't considered a superstar around the league.

Neal X
2024-12-16 23:14:18 +0000 UTC
@Nos JK has shown that he more than wants that. If anything it's the fact that he has that mentality that Kerr keeps it out of his hands. And I'd argue that Wiggs is more than fine with his number being called late, he had some huge moments late in games during the 22 run.

2024-12-16 23:08:47 +0000 UTC
Not mad at this one. Dubs played well, the Mavs were just better than us last night. In a series you can overcome a nuclear Luka but not in a well-rested one-off.
I think we learned some things about Dallas. They're not good enough, even at their very best, to put us away. Lively can be exploited on switches. Gafford can't handle in the short roll. They have a lot of talent but a lot of weaknesses to exploit.
Mike Peterson
2024-12-16 22:48:37 +0000 UTC
You don't think Kuminga is that type of guy? He seems like the kind of guy to look for that opportunity. I mean he makes the most out of every situation he's been given and is looking for his chance. People said he's been inefficient, you can see him improving in that. People say he's not moving the ball well in the motion offense, he's improving. People say he can't defend well, he's improving. Shooting, taking care of the ball, he's trending upwards at an insane rate. I think if you just let him know that he can demand the ball without being reprimanded for making a single mistake, then I think he would be great in those late game situations. I mean shit, Steph is allowed to make mistakes after mistake late recently. If we aren't going to get on him for those horrible dribbling turnovers and ill-advised rushed shots, then we shouldn't crucify JK for that slip against Gobert, because he delivered against Houston a few nights earlier. He can definitely do it!
Irvin Mugo
2024-12-16 22:47:00 +0000 UTC
I agree with the overall take. However this is nothing new regarding others differing to superstar players. The others will bring them there and then watch as the superstar brings it home. I don't think it's a Curry/ Kerr/ Draymond trust issue as much as it's a mentality issue for Wiggs/JK. They just aren't the kind of players that are the " give me the ball and get the f_ out the way" type guys. They almost have to be forced to do it and I'm never confident of anyone doesn't have it naturally regardless of whom is on the floor. Dennis might change that because we all know he doesn't give a f_ , for better or worse. Lmao.
Nos Dollas
2024-12-16 22:41:14 +0000 UTC
If you want to drive yourself crazy, count out loud when Dray receives a pass in the half-court. More often than not, he'll just stand like a statue for 5 Mississippi, staring down Steph, not looking at the rim or second options or even making a pass fake. If Steph doesn't come open, then he'll just force a difficult pass whether or not there's a window.
Pretty nuts that we expect year 2 players to make a decision in 0.5 secs and tolerate this from our "decision-maker."

Jansen E
2024-12-16 22:21:18 +0000 UTC
I don't often comment on trade speculation, I think it's mostly bs filler. But given what's already happened, I think if another trade happens GP2 unfortunately will most likely have to be included to match salaries. Then I think I boils down to either moving Kyle + others for a center like Vuc which commits you to JK, or you move JK + others for a power wing like Cam Johnson which frees up the backup 4 for Kyle to play. Right now the lineup constrictions force Kyle to the 3rd PF position and virtually no playing time. Kerr probably let him know this once they committed to starting JK and increasing his minutes it's an either or scenario.

Oh, wait. By night to night, do you mean every night, or do you mean "if the situation calls for it?" Cause if you're saying situational, I disagree. But if you're saying nightly, then I agree.
Irvin Mugo
2024-12-16 22:08:10 +0000 UTC
Night to night may not be enough. I think there has to be a guarantee that Wiggins or JK will get at least 2 good looks combined late. Like plays made for them that suits their strengths. You can even make it misdirection plays, where we act like it's for Steph but it's not. They have to be early in the shot clock, not last ditch desperation efforts. Until they make that decision and change their bad habits, not even a super star added will be able to fix that, cause they would just go back to spamming Steph at the end.

Mikel anthony
2024-12-16 21:53:58 +0000 UTC
We signed Kyle Anderson to a 3yr deal. 9mil per. One of our biggest off-season moves. Total Kerr guy, system fit, high BBIQ, defender, passer, connector. etc etc.
But when JK moves to the starting 4, and Draymond moves to the backup 4, that means no more Anderson. At all?!
Is that what's going on? We had minutes for Kyle when it was Green/Kuminga/Anderson as the forward rotation, but maybe that was because JK was getting less minutes. Now that JK is getting full starter minutes, and Draymond isn't losing any minutes, there's nothing for Kyle?
Whatever is going on, what are we holding onto Kyle for now? What's the point of keeping him? I love the guy. At least give him back to Minnesota. They'll use the hell out of him.

I think the defence of the 3pt line is still bad mostly. Which is crazy in this era. If i were running a team I'd happily give up layups all day long if it meant taking away the 3 ball from most teams.
As for this game it was more competitive than I thought it would be in terms of the score but it never really felt like we had a chance tbh.
As for Podz I'm sick of seeing him on the court. I have no feelings towards the guy I just think it's crazy how many minutes he's playing for a second year player with underwhelming physical attributes and no amazing achievements to point to. Hopefully things will look better with Shroder taking a good portion of those minutes.
At this point JK and Wiggs need to be the defacto No 1 options. Steph continues to look real old and constantly looking to him offensively is very very stale. There was a lot of hero ball from him down the stretch of this game and it was ugly. Anyone trying to argue that he's still in his prime etc is simply not watching games at this point.
Alasdair Macdonald
2024-12-16 21:33:37 +0000 UTC
In the post game interview dray and steph both said we got Dennis for pick and roll ability and they the team will be adapting to him maybe more than he will he adapting to the team. Its wild how on a team with so many guards no one can run a pick and roll lol kind of speaks to most peoples frustrations with how Kerr runs the offense. Maybe he wanted to but no one can really do it, or maybe he just didn't want to and the front office is forcing his hand.

Whereâs this improvement we heard so much about all summer and was all but almost promised would be coming.â It was a miscalculation by Lacob (AGAIN) and proving you never hype up a mid round pick, or ANY rookie unless itâs Luka after one okay season gor a play in team

No weâve been seeing it and saying it for going on 3 years now. The curse of that 2022 Finals is now the team just gives the ball to Steph and flattens out instead of involving JK or Wiggins. It statted with the punch season, happened last year and happening again this hear. I believe MDJ or Kerr or one of the podcast boys who said the plan was for this roster to be able to keep games close ghen Steph closes out those close games. Well unfortunately EVERY GAME is a close game again this year
Coreyy
2024-12-16 21:11:26 +0000 UTC
Switching can solve a lot of these defensive issues. Remember 14-15, 15-16 we would just seamlessly switch? We still have the personnel to do it. Bait em into the 1 on 1 iso over em breaking the paint n then we gotta help, tag, recover, and scramble. It just seems like we have went genius to old school n all these other teams, they just a lot more advanced offensively n defensively.

2024-12-16 21:02:13 +0000 UTC
Who in their right basketball mind was actually believing that about year 2 though? Podz was an awesome hustle player and elite brown noser all of his rookie year. He's a first class overachiever. There was never a sophomore reality in which he wasn't either going to be (A) a MUCH better role player and shooter around Steph or (B) really annoying and shackled offensively in a Kerr system in his 2nd year. People are mad rn that he's (B) but I think there's plenty of time left in the season for him to become (A). But "star alongside steph curry" was never ever possible in an org where 6'7" freak athlete Jonathan Kuminga is JUST getting an opportunity. Like cmon lmao
To shoot you some bail, I 1000% believe Podz is the future franchise star guard for this team. The next Jalen Brunson. But not until at least year 4 or 5

Thank you!! Bingo!! I lowkey was so hurt when Steph gave the ball to JK late in that Minnesota game and he slipped and fell because I KNEW that it meant they weren't going to trust him again to close for another 10 games minimum. You hit the nail on the head. Those egos just take over
yan't get right
2024-12-16 20:49:39 +0000 UTC
Was impressed with Wiggs and also the will to win from Dray. Steph was just OK. And I actually found myself cheering for Klay most of this game rather than GSW. I understand he's been acting like a total ass this season and last as well, I guess. But still, he's not "just an opp" for me
Ivan (Vanya) Kashperuk
2024-12-16 20:40:11 +0000 UTC
Both imo. And if it's not a lack of trust from Steph, then he needs to speak up about this. Cause they are only hurting themselves. And at least this way, if Kuminga and Wiggins don't deliver, than we can use them on the trading block to get another superstar. But how will you know unless you give them a honest opportunity. I say, the next 8 close games, get an even attack of Steph, JK, Wiggins and one of the 3 pt shooters in the last 5 possessions. We can't just go to the same double pick n roll when they just blitz it and now Steph has 8 seconds on the shot clock to hit some magical shot. When the alternative is a post up with JK or Wiggs, or a downhill drive that can maybe even get Steph a more open three, or result in a made basket/free throws for Wiggs or JK

Oh yeah, I'm glad it's not just me who's noticed this. This is why I'm so glad Dennis is coming. He can get the ball and run a play for himself or someone not named Steph, so that Kerr and Steph can finally see how they've been selling these games

1. Steph legs was gone at end of game
2. Looney got outplayed. Those athletic bigs. TJD should of got more mins
3. Send Podz to G League. We sent Poole his sophomore year and he came back balling.
4. No Slowmo. Seems to me that he might of been a good matchup for Luka. But he gets no run.
5. Please trade Moody/Slowmo for a big that can hit a 3. (Nikola/Turner). That would unleash this team.
6. Waters best game. He has good defense and IQ, if only he could be consistent on O. Then we would have something real special

I agree that it seems people are liking Podziemski struggling a little too much. But I think it's partially Kerr's fault for treating him like teacher's pet while other draft picks collect dust on the bench.
Goku44
2024-12-16 19:59:01 +0000 UTC
Gotta salute elite shot making. To me Klay thrives as third option rather than 2nd, and Iâm happy for him.
Thanks for the Podz hate comment, as the 2nd year kid will find his confidence again. Maybe some humility early can be a good thing long term.
Closing possessions again??? Dray n Steph seemingly forcing again when it was still in reach.
The Dinwittie double teams were my biggest question mark on D, constantly in scramble mode.
Could we have gone harder at Luka to tire him some? We did it successfully some, but why not most every time down, especially when heâs dominating on O?
I liked JKâs middie game, and want more, but we give up Drayâs D tone when he doesnât start. Trade offs, saving Dray legs for later season seems wise.

Luka and Kyrie is like 15 Cavs offensively, we donât have a prime shot maker to match. With schoder, things will get better. Lindy plays much better, hopefully he can improves from here. The reality hits me after this game, our youth cannot improves as quickly, as Curry and Draymondâs windows are closing, we are just playoffs team.

I was at the game last night in the section right behind where Podz got trapped, our section had been rowdy all night but that hesitation and resulting trap, the whole section like gasped and went quiet, and I felt bad I think he felt it (well I hope he didn't anyways).

I disagree with our only hope being those ridiculous Steph possessions at the end. We talk about, "Ohhh we need other people to help Steph." Well, we got it. We've been getting it. JK and Wiggs have been incredible and even Draymond is shooting well. I know exactly why we keep losing all these games late. We want these guys to score 20+ to help Steph, but when the games on the line we just revert back to the same Steph hunting habits and it's predictable. Other teams realize that our coaching staff has no real trust in anyone but Steph so they just load up on him and he takes these ridiculous shots all the time. Meanwhile, Kuminga and Wiggins were keeping us in this game late, and once again we don't go to them because Steph is the superstar. Well whats the point of trusting them at all if you aren't gonna give them a shot at getting a bucket late. How can we ever know if those two have what it takes to be a second option, when the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth options late in games are terrible shots and Steph doing dribble moves against two defenders. I just want to see one game where one of the plays in the last 2 minutes is a Kuminga post up, or a DHO to Wiggins going right towards the basket and Steph off the ball, not being the priority in the play. Just ONCE! Like, look no further than Steve Kerr and Steph as the reason we are losing these games late. We cut it to 3 on the backs of everyone, an even effort. Then Steph and Kerr say, "good job but we don't trust y'all. Leave it to us to close it." Then they shit the bed ..AGAIN!

I think Draymond is shooting well enough where you can play Curry Wiggs JK Dray and a big, Kyrie needs to see more length and the rebounding needed help

I donât like how they show on the ball handler in the pick and roll and the help side guys donât tag the roll man, and when I say tag I really mean hit the mfer, Lively was walking to the paint on the roll

Why hasn't Wiggins been starting a shooting guard?

i felt the exact same way you did in the second half, if it wasnt early in the 3rd we just couldnt get over the hump and unless the mavs just went super ice cold, it wasnt going to be our defense. Hopefully we get a much needed win thursday. 2-10 over the last 12 is roughhhhhh

question: what happened to the Kuminga lethal pump fake. And overall postup game? I think he had a clear out 1v1 on kyrie yesterday and took a heavily contested kinda deep fade?

I think the frustrations with Podz (at least in my eyes and people Iâm close to) Podz being here and struggling is symbolic of what we COULD have had. Weâve been talking about âsecond starâ since the slump began and all summer we heard about Podz being untouchable or the pg of the future in those talks with PG or Markkanen. So now seeing Podz just get cardio in on the floor when Lacob pushed Klay out the door and big upped Podz all summer is just a slap in the face to fans who just want to field a competitive team for the first time in 3 years. Not saying everyone should feel that way but it definitely gets frustrating when he was pumping his chest out all summer then saying things like âYeah Steph and Draymknd they look up to meâ

I think itâs time to have a conversation about Draymond on offense, i seen him called a ball stopper once he just isnât the one shooting it. Are we sacrificing our offense just to make Dray seem like a key to it? With his passing degrading I think we have to ask ourselves if him being the ball handler forcing everyone else into Kerrâs system. To be honest Dray might be the only guy on the team benefiting from Kerrâs system and sure when it works it works, but when it doesnât you get ill timed TOs,much less TOs off the bench

Yo Alch, was just thinking, how do you feel about maybe trying to poach Mo Wagner from the magic? Making 11M per, 6'11 and strong, avging 13 pts and 5 rebs in limited minutes. Shooting 36% from 3 on around 3 attempts per game, might be worth looking at.
