True that - Dray does consistently figure guys out for round 2.

2024-11-11 04:47:14 +0000 UTCAbsolutely Draymond needs to be held accountable -- and we'll probably still be waiting for that by the time he retires lol. Silver lining, maybe he picked up a few tricks on Mobley's tendencies so he'll do better against him next time. Draymond is one of the best in the business at learning his man.

2024-11-10 23:00:43 +0000 UTCYeah about what I expected. It is absolutely imperative to trade for some rim protection.

2024-11-10 21:03:00 +0000 UTCDray was a complete joke this game; every play he was involved in was a disaster on both ends. To be a positive in any game, he has to give high effort. When he doesn't, you'd be better off playing literally anyone. Against the Cavs he looked like someone who's never played ball before. He's making fundamental mistakes - losing sight of his man, giving up free runners. We would have lost either way - it was just one of those games. But when a guy is checked out, he needs to check out of the game. It was clear within 2 minutes.

2024-11-10 19:37:19 +0000 UTCIsn't it crazy that Bickerstaff had Jerome essentially as a bench warmer last season and as soon as Atkinson comes in, he immediately gives him playing time because of their time together in GS. My conspiracy theory take is Vegas must've lost A LOT of money with GS winning in Boston so Kerr got a call from the league and was like "You guys need to make up for the money that was lost in Boston". It would be interesting to see the number of bets that were placed in favor of the the Warriors on Friday vs Wednesday night in Boston.

2024-11-10 16:39:13 +0000 UTCWould’ve been happy with one win against the big three. Just never bought the contender stuff with us. Getting a top 5 seed is a success in my book and we will look better against weaker competition. Really intrigued about the way this team responds against okc
Ken Bradford
2024-11-10 13:36:36 +0000 UTCBut did we really try to attack the paint with authority?
Dale Happy Knowles
2024-11-10 12:57:21 +0000 UTCBecause we don't give their best players an opposition on D or O. Take the play just over midway in the 2nd Qtr when Steph had the ball and everyone was on the perimeter, JK came over to set a pick. The 2 defenders have to follow Steph for just a second but with JK speed he is gone to the basket for an easy two hand dunk. If any of the shot blockers rotated, JK/Wiggs/Moody could gorilla them or if the defenders have the advantage, make a pass for an open 3pt. Basketball is simple! We make it hard when Kerr tries to force the issue with all these college run around the arc hand offs and screens. Sure they have their significant place but when we see teams over emphasizing perimeter play, attact the basket with reckless abandon. 1. Gorilla dunk 2. Draw the foul 3. Kick out for 3pts. But no, he too often stay on the perimeter telling JK/Moody to shoot more. Madness! JK/Moody/Wiggs should be in attack mode first, always on the move to initiate the play. Let Steph feed off of the chaos for easy 3s. A rested more efficient Steph is Chip contender Worriers! This game showed what forced tired legs steph does. Atkins knows after a big game Steph eases off a bit so he attached. The result with a bum knee Dray, took GSW nerve as everyone on the team feeds off of the confidence Steph as the only superstar, who can get his, whenever he wants to. When he does not, players loose hope when under attack. Release JK, Wiggs and Moody. Rotate Melton behind Buddy, Podski and Moody off the bench. OKC starting line up should have been Steph, Wiggs, JK, Dray & TJD with Wiggs and JK relentlessly attacking. If Dray struggle with mobility, insert Moody and slide Wiggs and JK up.
Dale Happy Knowles
2024-11-10 12:55:24 +0000 UTCI think these Cavs team have our number. I don't even remember beating them once, but it could be my impression the way these games go
Alex Kay
2024-11-10 08:48:32 +0000 UTCWe don't need to tank it. They may just be better than us. They have shooting, defense, depth but unlike us they have a stretch big man and dominant 7 footer to guard the paint. They are elite.
John Pettus
2024-11-10 08:02:57 +0000 UTCSo far, Hield coming off the bench has given us the 2nd highest net rating in the NBA and the highest bench scoring.
John Pettus
2024-11-10 08:01:49 +0000 UTCLooney is a defensive big.
John Pettus
2024-11-10 08:00:21 +0000 UTCWhat does that even mean? You think he didn't play smaller lineups and try to run and shoot? It only works if your shots go in. Also, when you can't threaten the drive bc of shot blockers the POA defenders can be a lot more aggressive.
John Pettus
2024-11-10 07:59:43 +0000 UTCHe's a small body with no NBA level defensive instincts. Most bigs take 3-4 years to develop, so there's no reason to expect help from any rookie bigs in Steph's timeline.
John Pettus
2024-11-10 07:57:47 +0000 UTCHe's unplayable defensively
Stevie Ray
2024-11-10 04:35:56 +0000 UTCSo I haven't been following, is Quinten Post in the g-league right now? How's he looking? Is there any chance this season that he might get minutes outside of garbage time games?
Neal X
2024-11-10 03:55:03 +0000 UTCConsider 1. To many missed open shots. GSW looked tired, no legs in 1st half. 2. GSW play too nice against rough teams. Gentlemenly and force this high volume 3s mentality at the expense of easier shoots at the rim. Loons, Dray, Slow Mo those need to stop passing on midrange and rim opportunities when D focusing on perimeter. 3. Too many extra passes at the rim. Shoot or dunk the Ball. Put the bigs on D to the test. - Wiggs, Kuminga, Moody GP2 and Walters who play above the rim need to constantly and aggressively drive to punch it against strong defensive bigs. Get them in foul trouble. Too soft play. Trayce in particularly need tuffen up and start finishing strong and garillering some bigs as we can't leave twin towers to settle in the seat ready to perch when they want to. 4. Why Buddy had zero points, and he and Steph took just 6 shoots in the first half with Buddy none in 2nd quarter. These are the teams top scorers - Madness! 5. Against bigs we need Wiggs and Kuminga to be in full attack mode. A plus - I saw a level of downhill attack the rim Moody that takes him off my potential trade list. Moody should start at 2. Just what GP2 does well in pick and roll Moody can do 6. No Waters in the rotation but an extended Melton who obviously was rusty. Did he and Brandon play more than Kerr would tolerate of JK and Moody mistakes because Klay and OKC is next? - Hmmm! The biggest thing is Kerr still struggles to make in game adjustments and the starting 2G needs to be restricted to Moody and Wiggs until the all star game.
Dale Happy Knowles
2024-11-10 01:07:43 +0000 UTCKerr just need to make in-game adjustments and switch to garrilla attack mode with those who play above the rim against big shot blocker teams
Dale Happy Knowles
2024-11-10 00:59:29 +0000 UTCI think it’s all about matchups for us.. Teams like Boston and OKc are ok for us because it’s really a shooting contest. Teams like Knicks and Cavs are terrible fir us.. we still have to make some moves but I wouldn’t say this “exposed” the warriors
Offtopic K
2024-11-09 22:15:48 +0000 UTCWill Kerr/staff adapt to nights when Steph/Dray don’t have it?! GONNA BE MANY MORE!!!
Chip Tingle
2024-11-09 21:58:18 +0000 UTCHe's far better suited to go against 2nd unit talent and size. We've seen Tracey succeed in this role. But Big Loon shouldn't start either, they need to save Kevon's legs for 2nd half basketball - because he might be the best big we have now as a lone 5 man closing. The start center is the piece we're missing - he doesn't have to switchable enough to close, but he needs to be big enough and active enough on both ends to drain the starting All-Star bigs' tanks early in games.

2024-11-09 21:32:31 +0000 UTCCourtesy flush 🤣
Bobby D
2024-11-09 21:28:24 +0000 UTCThis game is an early litmus test. Still, after all these years I dont understand why Kerr doesnt at least have some defensive bigs on the bench at least (dont want to hear they are rare etc, have seen other teams pick up bigs for a song). This is going to be the warriors Krytonite, lack of a few good bigs. There are some teams that are just going to be better than us this year. Good to know that early in the season. Make plans to get a life, find a hobby, stock up the wine cellar.

2024-11-09 21:12:00 +0000 UTCdont do it : (
Tyler Durden
2024-11-09 21:07:14 +0000 UTCI knew it was going to be an ugly game once I saw how Steph and Dray were passing the ball and standing in place on defense. The play at 3:53 bailed the Cavs out due to Steph just standing there. And after that 30 footer from Ty, I knew it was over. Cavs ended the half shooting 64% from 3 while the Dubs couldn’t make anything. Also, JK should’ve been on the floor a lot more. He was the only one putting up a fight and wasn’t playing bad at all. I would’ve liked to see Moody in for a lot more of the game considering how Steph and Dray were playing. Also, I think Looney should be playing more than TJD against taller players.

2024-11-09 20:57:56 +0000 UTCChef regressed as a passer
Natto Santo
2024-11-09 20:08:56 +0000 UTCWiggins is not an A-level shooter, we need to put Buddy or Waters or Melton next to Chef and Wiggins to make the lineup works. I really think Waters maybe the one, as he rebounds very well. Buddy is better to come off bench.
Natto Santo
2024-11-09 20:03:58 +0000 UTCi have a bad feeling that the warriors are gonna go and tank the okc game too
Adrian
2024-11-09 19:40:36 +0000 UTCI agree. Regardless of those few times involving buddy, I still think those full court pass attempts are to risky. And there has been far too many of them in my opinion
Steven Jones
2024-11-09 19:33:17 +0000 UTCEarly in the season there are some games that Kerr uses to size up the opponent for future battles. Idk. That's how I see it. It's funny that till today Warriors fans still don't understand Ty's purpose on the floor when he was on the team.
Bailey
2024-11-09 19:32:51 +0000 UTCmobley is nice
Daniel Fries
2024-11-09 19:26:15 +0000 UTCI hate to say it but right now JK just isn't blending in very well. His 1v1 defense almost always has him trailing his man into our 5. He just can't stay in front of anybody right now. Meaning he won't get enough light going forward from Kerr.
Russ
2024-11-09 19:13:20 +0000 UTCAgreed, very considerate
DW
2024-11-09 19:10:37 +0000 UTCIt’s going to be like that in the playoffs too…the lack of size and second scoring option is going to be our downfall…
ntare rugamba
2024-11-09 18:57:37 +0000 UTCIt’s crazy to think that six years ago a Golden State versus Cleveland matchup would’ve had playoff level intensit, even this early in the season..
Oliver Jennings
2024-11-09 18:56:39 +0000 UTCHow long until JK or KA get that start for Dray, that bad matchup, bad energy night? Did JK get any minutes on Mobley? Kid is special.
Chip Tingle
2024-11-09 18:32:43 +0000 UTCIt was interesting. I was following on Twitter from dinner and all the Kuminga mentions were either Warriors fans saying he was trash or Cavs/Heat fans wondering how to get him on their team. Made me really curious what was actually happening on the court lol.
Ejikeme Uzoigwe
2024-11-09 18:28:46 +0000 UTCDifference between Struss at $15m and Ty Jerome at $2.5m is minimal. How teams hand out $s seems random.
SAOpp
2024-11-09 18:27:38 +0000 UTCWhats your thoughts on TJD? Think he’s faring well enough to be starting, think Looney should start, or think we should be going small with Dray at the 5?
Mitch Coob
2024-11-09 18:27:27 +0000 UTC3s not falling and twin towers changing and swatting everything near the basket. Bad combination. Amazing how different game plays out depending on success of first quarter 3 pointers.
SAOpp

2024-11-09 18:21:35 +0000 UTCRemember the “whoop that trick” game in Memphis during the ‘22 playoffs? Mike Brown was coaching cause Kerr couldn’t make it (back issues?). Kerr reportedly gave Brown specific instructions: “if it starts to get away, don’t chase it”. Give up a battle to win the war. This road trip (& Tuesday) really matters to them. Wouldn’t be surprised if Kerr was taking the same approach as he would in a playoff series.

2024-11-09 18:21:22 +0000 UTCI have seen that, but some of them are just over thrown
Athletic Alchemy
2024-11-09 18:20:44 +0000 UTCShould have started Kuminga. Why does he never start him over Wiggins I'll never know
Thomas Carroll
2024-11-09 18:09:05 +0000 UTCMissed the game, need to rewatch it later tonight

2024-11-09 18:08:33 +0000 UTCKuminga looked p good at least!
Andrew Lee
2024-11-09 18:03:32 +0000 UTCIf you look back at the transition turnovers involving buddy, he's got a wide open lane to the basket but still wants to drift to the corner/wing three and these turnovers are because the passer is leading him to the rim while he's drifting out..
Steven Jones
2024-11-09 18:02:31 +0000 UTCKerr has to realize when the vets ain't got it, be it fatigue or bad play and get to the youngsters quicker. What's the point of the depth of you don't use it even u need it. Dray has had a couple stinkers this year so far, and in past you had to hope he played himself out of it, but with Anderson you don't have to do that. Their older, sometimes they jus not gonna get up....use the youth Kerr!
Chaz G
2024-11-09 18:01:58 +0000 UTCGPII cannot start. It’s not going to work.

2024-11-09 17:52:08 +0000 UTCTJD's gonna be an issue against contending lineups...he gets exposed constantly. Idk

G 2tha P
2024-11-09 17:49:10 +0000 UTCI also think games like this are important for the coaching staff to see how the aggressive defense can be exploited, and develop counters as the season goes on so they aren't caught off guard by elite teams who have it scouted.
Dashaya Toney
2024-11-09 17:48:39 +0000 UTCOne of those losses where you pack it up early, say "Damn they whooped our ass", and keep it pushing. Still 7-2, Cavs are a great great team, shot 75% from 3 in the first half, sometimes you get got. Time to bounce back in OKC.
