2024-12-06 06:46:05 +0000 UTCKerr needs to play podz and GP2 less, play moody and JK more. Stop with these weird lineups. We aren’t 12 deep, we need continuity.
Robert St.Claire
2024-12-06 03:08:43 +0000 UTCI’m seeing a lot of contending teams use their young players and even rookies in closing line ups (suns, dallas, denver) and using them effectively while we are not able to, is it that we’ve drafted and developed poorly and our players are that bad or is it that we just don’t know how to use them effectively in our rotations and lineups?
Rudraansh Shaunak
2024-12-06 01:02:19 +0000 UTCMoody playing very well and then not getting playing time in the fourth. I don’t understand this.
David Post
2024-12-05 22:15:46 +0000 UTCIn the post-game presser they tried to humanize Jokic lol. This explains the biased officiating by referees Matt Myers, Justin Van Duyne and Tyler Ford. Adam Silver is endorsing this.
Bailey
2024-12-05 17:31:06 +0000 UTCI’m mostly kidding re Podz. I think they had a good plan for him. Lead second unit, and get occasional starter experience during inevitable Melton injuries. But a season ending injury in November was more than they were bargaining for. I’m convinced he ruined Lindy Waters though lol.

2024-12-05 14:30:11 +0000 UTCAgreed. One interesting thing I theorize about podz shot is that all the work on his midrange game this summer messed it up. His shot is clearly not as fluid as it was in college if you go back and watch the tape. I think it’s because the midrange is almost different form. The set point looks higher(obviously so he can get it off as a small guard) plus like you talk about it seems as if he wants to get up to the peak of his jump before releasing the ball. I bet this alone is enough to disrupt the rhythm of his 3pter plus I’d does look like he changed his 3 ball form as well. You should go back and look at his college form again - looks smoother

2024-12-05 09:52:16 +0000 UTCYup. Tbh, I wouldn’t mind a little more a-hole energy from the team right now.
Michael E
2024-12-05 08:25:38 +0000 UTCEven with the mistakes from Podz and 4th qtr collapse, I was encouraged by a lotta good things happening, especially from Jk, earlier Podz, and later Moody. To be without Dray and up to close it wasn’t on my radar. JK middy game is there most any time he wants. More of this plus raising FT% by 10-15% could get him closer to the money he wants. Was that the most actual jumpers we’ve seen from BP? Very positive news for his versatility and good hops. Happy for Mo, and betting he gets more blocks of predictable minutes. Tough collapse, but so many good things happening!
Chip Tingle
2024-12-05 07:52:22 +0000 UTCYeah, but he could be OUR a-hole.

2024-12-05 05:35:03 +0000 UTCIt’s funny I didn’t even think of Buddy. I was thinking you meant Mood or Lindy. I think they want to keep his min down so he can give full effort when out there. But I bet we see him start tomorrow
Athletic Alchemy
2024-12-05 05:31:41 +0000 UTCI'm sorry, was this sarcasm? It sounds like sarcasm XD
Neal X
2024-12-05 05:27:56 +0000 UTCI was just looking at his stats a few hours ago and well... he walked the talk, at least back then.
Neal X
2024-12-05 05:26:55 +0000 UTCyeah I had the same thought when they went back to Mood at the end. "Hey who's got a good +/~ tonight? Mood? Let's put HIM in ... "
Daniel Fries
2024-12-05 05:24:24 +0000 UTCYou are exactly and specifically wrong with your claim. We lost Steph for 3 games early on and won all 3 of them.
John Pettus
2024-12-05 02:36:45 +0000 UTCI har Schroeder. Dude is an a hole.
John Pettus
2024-12-05 02:34:28 +0000 UTCWould it be wrong to start Buddy? I know lately he hasn't looked as good but why not play Buddy and Steph together to hopefully get some early scoring from the spacing?
Neal X
2024-12-05 01:42:02 +0000 UTCWow. TIL.
Neal X
2024-12-05 01:34:12 +0000 UTCdef starting to feel a lot like last year. fast start, then a series of games playing just good enough to lose close. losing Melton seems to be the x factor between playing like a contender and mediocre. we need that vet that can play both guard positions, with solid d and can hit the three. i'm still bullish on coppin' d schroeder if possible.
Michael E
2024-12-05 01:34:09 +0000 UTCWhy don't we take a big swing and try to acquire Zion? Supposedly only takes 1 first round pick. I know the risk is large, but he's got the most friendly big contract in the league with all his caveats.
Ryan Farber
2024-12-05 01:23:22 +0000 UTC2 good thoughts. That dip might be the difference between Moody being an 7th 8th guy and a starter
Athletic Alchemy
2024-12-05 01:15:17 +0000 UTClol nah I think with Podz he was so cocky year 1 it caused them to lean into it more than they typically would.
Athletic Alchemy
2024-12-05 01:14:28 +0000 UTCI think that’s on deck
Athletic Alchemy
2024-12-05 01:13:32 +0000 UTCWho is one of the best 3pt shooters?
Athletic Alchemy
2024-12-05 01:12:36 +0000 UTCDang you right! My bad. I was trying to bring some comic relief to a frustrating game
Athletic Alchemy
2024-12-05 01:12:15 +0000 UTCI came across an article that said TJD had a pretty bad head injury as a little kid. It miiiight explain why he has coordination issues and a limited offensive game. Just a heads up Alch.
theycallmemiyagi
2024-12-05 01:10:55 +0000 UTCYeah I'm basically standing by my takes on the last vid and game. Why are starting a guard who can't hit 3's when we have one of the best 3pt shooters in the league riding the bench? Podz can get over his slump in the G-league and come back when/if he does (or bench him). Until we make a trade, give Moody and JK 30 min. a night to get the best out of them that we can. We came close to winning this one even despite all of the mistakes and rotation confusion.
Neal X
2024-12-05 00:48:11 +0000 UTC1. Kerr doesn't have feel of who to put in and when. It's too much depth and he doesn't even have combinations yet. 2. Knew it even when they were winning early, once u take away Steph (or he gets injured) we can't score and we lose. No one else on the roster can consistently create their own and until they get 1, we ain't challenging for anything. 3. We are better than last yr, but same prob. Young guys who learning their game, and in the clutch doesn't match Currys window. We have too many young guys we depending on regularly. We got drop 1 or 2 and get a 2nd scorer
Chaz G
2024-12-05 00:40:43 +0000 UTCPreach. The handling of a talent like JK has been abysmal
Sensible Gooner
2024-12-05 00:32:35 +0000 UTCLooking at Podz & Lindy this season makes me think that Steve Kerr would be a terrible boxing trainer. If he decides some 16-year old has some real talent, he’d immediately set the kid up against Canelo and totally shell shock the youngster for life lol.

TJ Maccc
2024-12-04 23:41:51 +0000 UTCI thought that was so weird. Draymond used the same language when he made his comments re Podz. Maybe they feel they can only communicate with Podz thru his FYP lol?
Ejikeme Uzoigwe
2024-12-04 23:38:59 +0000 UTCyou right it would have given us a chance... but I had written it off already personally
Athletic Alchemy
2024-12-04 23:35:30 +0000 UTCAll true.. however doesnt seem like we have these fundamentals
Athletic Alchemy
2024-12-04 23:34:23 +0000 UTCgreat take... "beyond brainwashed" its true
Athletic Alchemy
2024-12-04 23:33:46 +0000 UTCI put him on the list of guys who have really struggled since last years AS break when the league started to allow more physicality. Halliburton is another one. That and he just hasn't taken care of his body. He looks to be in about the same shape as me as a 41 yr old weekend warrior
Athletic Alchemy
2024-12-04 23:32:38 +0000 UTCIt was the timing tho 🤣🤣. Alc’s editing skills are low key elite
Ejikeme Uzoigwe
2024-12-04 23:22:26 +0000 UTCAnd that's not fair to JK. As much as he's my favorite player on this team, I do think it may be better for him to move to a different team. One where he can shine without Kerr and mgmt holding him back so much
Irvin Mugo
2024-12-04 23:21:25 +0000 UTCTwo thoughts. First, it is absolutely insane that moody hasn’t had a trainer or someone in his camp make him work on taking at least some of the dip out of his shot. Idk, maybe he has tried and just hasn’t made any progress but goddamn bro it turns clean looks into contested shots and he is still shooting near 40%. Second, can we just see kuminga play 35 minutes. Please Steve, is it too much to ask when Draymond is out and we know JK plays well against the nuggets
Mason Hornick
2024-12-04 23:14:59 +0000 UTCYeah, but this is at least the third time we’re going thru this. In Dec ‘22, Steph & Wiggins were out, JK got real responsibility, showed out and everyone lost their minds. Then the starters got healthy, JK’s role got weird again and we all went back to debating whether he can play basketball. In January, Dray got injured (suspended?) and JK got real run. He went on a tear and the whole league noticed. Dray came back, JK lost his role and soon enough we were back to acting as if we’ve never seen him play well. If Dray’s calf/back keeps him out for a while, all that’s gonna happen is this: JK will play well enough for long enough to make mgmt gun shy at the trade deadline. Then Draymond will come back, JK will lose his role and we’ll all go back to saying JK has only shown “flashes”.

TJ Maccc
2024-12-04 23:01:59 +0000 UTCCan you explain the Jamal Murray decline. He was looking like a superstar the year immediately after the ACL tear, averaging 26ppg in the playoffs for Denver's first championship. Now only 1.5 years later at age 27, he is averaging 18 ppg on 40/33/80 splits, which are 6th man numbers at best. How could he decline so quickly at a young age. Do you think he isn't taking care of his body in regards to his training regimen and diet?
Jacob
2024-12-04 22:37:32 +0000 UTCRandom, but I enjoyed listening to Draymond rave about LaMelo & Franz Wagner during his latest podcast. It was a fun time, and not at all annoying as fuck.

Gary
2024-12-04 21:41:04 +0000 UTCI think we talk a lot about breaking the motion offense system, but Podz to me is the only primary-ballhandler we have that can run an offense that isn't that. He will need reps if we really want a world after Steph. Steph and Draymond are beyond brainwashed with the offense at this point to learn new things. And most of the criticism Podz is taking is from people that still believe he's supposed to be a spot up shooter in that same exact tired motion offense. I agree that he should take the ones he gets, but he's so much more like a mini-Harden. And we watched Harden try to play in the corner last year while Russ was the PG and it looked awful. Now he's back to playing Hardenball and it works. We should try to incorporate that to mix it up. Maximizes Podz but also gives us a different look
yan't get right
2024-12-04 21:38:51 +0000 UTCAgain, not a great game but a couple fewer turnovers, a couple less fouls and made free-throws wins the game. I understand the calls sucked but there are very very simple ways to win games and none of them are necessarily rotations. The lowest hanging fruit here are still the fundamentals: better passes, ball security, free-throws, execution.
Grizzly Thief
2024-12-04 21:34:45 +0000 UTCThat was the stupidest part of it. "Well I hope the player that I coach and see every day in the locker room HEARS MY MEDIA INTERVIEW" What the fuck. If you HOPE one of your own damn players needs to HEAR something, say it to their fucking face. I wonder if Steve Kerr, Anthony Lamb, and Podz have three-ways in between games.
Jansen E
2024-12-04 21:33:17 +0000 UTCThere is no one to hold them accountable to though. It's coming from the league, they have to keep Jokic and the Nuggets marketable, on top of that it's a cup game so it's twice as bad. They hand out fines because they don't want players and coaches pointing out their hidden agendas.
Phil Snowbarger
2024-12-04 21:26:06 +0000 UTCPodz kills me when he had that dumb fast break turnover. Loon’s FT is concerning and he had too many moving screens.
Natto Santo
2024-12-04 21:14:06 +0000 UTCAlso saying Trayce might be on the spectrum is diabolical!!
Chris Thomas
2024-12-04 21:10:01 +0000 UTCYeah alch I agree Steph gotta get it together and those calls were atrocious, if we had been down more than 4, then the call doesn’t matter but there was still a lot of time on the clock to draw up a play to get a 3, gotta make that call! On the bright side tho I think Steve needed this game to happen to see exactly what you said certain guys need longer leashes, and other guys need to be reeled back in
Chris Thomas
2024-12-04 21:09:34 +0000 UTCThe scoring droughts were so painful this game. Up 12 and knowing we would blow it sucks.
B Master
2024-12-04 20:50:53 +0000 UTCThe refereeing was horrendous, but the fact that it was still ANOTHER close game that we seemingly are always bound to throw away will be the most frustrating part. The only way you let the refereeing matter is doing dumbshit in crucial moments. Yeah Im looking at you Podz. Maybe this is an unpopular opinion that people will disregard, but I am truly getting SICK of TJD. Yes his defense is helpful every NOW AND THEN. But offensively, Im starting to hate him with every additional minute that he plays. Ever since you pointed it out Alch, it boils my blood that this guy has been in the gym with Loon for two seasons now and he HAS NEVER USED A PUMP FAKE IN HIS LIFE. But the goddamn two hand-two foot finishing is pissing me off more and more. How did you grow up being the tallest man on the court your whole life, and never learned to finish a layup with one hand???? A one handed contested dunk?? Nope. Not happening. Looney will still piss all of us off every now and then because of his crab dribbles and pump fakes, but he gets a pass cuz because of his lack of athleticism. TJD can jump out of the goddamn gym. What the fuck is he not doing rising up and finishing a dunk? WHY DOES HE DO LAYUPS WITH TWO HANDS. That is middle school shit. Podz actually started off with a pretty good game. So the fact that he ended the game the way he did really just throws all that away. The nuggets without Jokic is a borderline lottery team. And we still were struggling with them. Wiggins might be the most consistent 3pt shooter on our team right now. Think about that. Thats how bad our 3pt shooting is right now. Fuck me for thinking I could avoid watching the Niners and distract myself with the Warriors. That lasted all of 15 games. Its an absolute shame Kittle, Trent, and CMC wont ever get a ring. And its just sad as fuck that we are gonna throw away the final year of one of the greatest players ever in Steph.
Jansen E
2024-12-04 20:49:08 +0000 UTCIKR, preaching to the choir. The team is more fun without Dray. Him not starting means we can actually play a balanced lineup. Kuminga and Steph can play off each other, creating advantages and rotations and Wiggs is an excellent play-finisher once the advantage is there (Mo is also good in that role). And the JK/Steph chemistry is only just starting to build! Dray is a better fit for the bench unit, in an Andre role. Have him force-feed Buddy and muck it up on defense. But Kerr would never do that; Dray's ego is even bigger than Klay's.
Mike Peterson
2024-12-04 20:47:19 +0000 UTCSteph is reverting back to the Steph we’ve seen over the last 2 years. At this point in his career, he has to be pass first and used as a decoy more than he shoots the ball.

Irvin Mugo
2024-12-04 20:32:04 +0000 UTCThe NBA needs to start holding the refs accountable for these horrible games. It’s just ridiculous that players and coaches have to hold their tongues because they will get fined for talking about he refs when the refs obviously fucked up. Then the NBA releases their 2 minute report. What are you going to do replay the last two minutes? Shit needs to change
Kahlil Baker
2024-12-04 20:31:55 +0000 UTCHaven't commented in a bit love the content alc but i gotta say, Podz is very frustrating to watch. I was hearing all offseason from the team was that he was working on the 3 ball and they wanted him shooting what 9 threes a game?!? Now on earth he is shooting like 20% and the shots miss the rim. It doesn't look good I am beginning to lose faith in the dude. He is not shooting good, he is not making smart plays, and he is throwing in crunch time IE poor defensive choices. Like most people I think they need to make a move. A big man and a guard preferably.
Chris Styner
2024-12-04 20:31:27 +0000 UTCThanks for the extra giggles in the first half to make this one go down easier, Alc
Alex H
2024-12-04 20:22:29 +0000 UTCTotal ref job. Letting Christian Braun roll around like an Australian breakdancer AND then no tech for the phantom TO was just the topper. I loved how the young guys looked without Dray. Addition by subtraction. Dray is a ball stopper, but he doesn't get that rep because he stops the ball but doesn't shoot. He just sits there, staring down Steph until he comes around a curl. He holds it as long as Randle or any of those muppets.
Mike Peterson
2024-12-04 20:22:08 +0000 UTCTJD absolutely comes off as one of those guys who a coach talks to and he responds, "oh ya ya ya, I get it"....but no, he does not get it.
Allison Hendrix
2024-12-04 20:21:34 +0000 UTCIf Draymond is out and JK is playing PF, why aren't we utilizing more high ball screens for Steph with JK as the screen setter? The inability to try new concepts is baffling to me. At this stage of Steph's career, the two-man game needs to be between Steph and JK even when Draymond returns.
