We had so many close games because Steve Kerr keeps blowing the closing line ups, I feel like I’m watching space jam, the best starting unit from last year is the worst this year. Kuminga, trace Jackson davis, podz, curry and klay. That’s a line up with wiggins being the 6th man Bye bye draymond

2023-12-20 16:10:26 +0000 UTChmmn ... I hadn't even considered a trade. Yeah, Dray's skill set is pretty unique but you're right. I'd say somebody like Claxton or Lively II could definitely cover some areas that no one else on the roster can. Thanks for your input!

2023-12-20 09:19:39 +0000 UTCAlc... I'm a bigtime draft nerd and used to be an in-house video guy during the we believe years. Pitching an evergreen content suggestion... there's def a "tale of two bigs" story to be told about Wiseman and TJD. Both were the top bigs in the 2019 HS class and Wiseman had all the hype but none of the patience. TJD was always the guy folks said had potential but never developed a shot and on AGE ALONE dropped in draft standing having nothing to do with his game cuz he got alot better every year (just got dinged for the lack of shooting). One guy was the player most scouts disregarded how bad at actual basketball he actually was and was ... the other became a great college player who nobody appreciated how mature his game actually became. The end product is TJD probably entered the NBA as a second rounder a better player than Wiseman ever becomes. TJD and Jaquez are the poster children for why some guys should go to college and learn how to play good basketball and how to be coached and fill a variety of roles. Culminating in being a alpha dog number one option. Let's be honest TJD should be starting any game you'd start Loon. Dude has too much juice. He had alot of can't miss metrics in the draft liner notes... stuff where it was like the closest dudes was Tim Duncan. Led the NCAA in three pointers created as a screener. High percentile business across all PNR and DHO actions. Tons of stuff that kinda said... at least once he'd succeed... you'd have guys like me saying "of course he was a can't miss... everything was awesome except the shooting" Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see the Boston rundown. Go Dubs!

2023-12-20 06:12:40 +0000 UTCThat's a dream convo for any coach except Kerr lol
k fish
2023-12-19 22:37:55 +0000 UTCYeah that would be the case if the season consisted of playing Portland the whole way through. Steph needs to be the superstar he is accustomed to be if we are to contend for more championships.
Ash
2023-12-19 22:37:45 +0000 UTCNo he used to dnp javale and play Zaza lol
k fish
2023-12-19 22:36:43 +0000 UTCLmfao the warriors can't win without kuminga that's why they keep blowing leads. Man u always got an excuse for kerr....kuminga was impacting this game more then podz until he was benched, just like he has been since Portland
k fish
2023-12-19 22:36:07 +0000 UTCIsn't it funny how Podz just had 1 breakout game before Kerr decided he is getting the most minutes out of everyone in his rookie year, yet Moody and Kuminga have to prove themselves constantly. Idk man Kerr is just playing favouritism at this point.
Ash
2023-12-19 22:35:37 +0000 UTCWow steve is terrible lol kuminga benched again while playing great, clealry wants the kid to fail.....does he not know Wiggins and jk are allowed to play together?
k fish
2023-12-19 22:33:50 +0000 UTCLmfao bro what? Kuminga has way better games then podz in his past and even since Portland.....the difference is he isn't getting the minutes. Stop making excuses for kerr

2023-12-19 22:11:52 +0000 UTCI certainly don't feel its additions by subtraction like with Poole. My gut tells me we need him to win another. However who is that would replace him? If we somehow got a top idk 8-10 rim protector then yeah I think we could win without him.

2023-12-19 22:10:09 +0000 UTCThat’s a good question - could be a really good combo
Jakob
2023-12-19 21:27:47 +0000 UTCTwo things. First, I gotta disagree, toss TJD in there against the true centers and let him learn by playing. He's not going to figure out how to defend centers if he doesn't defend centers Secondly, Kerr and Co look lost, like they took one too many rips off of the pregame bong. They don't seem to notice what and who works best. It's as if they don't know their personnel and would rather opt for old, slow and small over young and athletic. TJD was drafted to do exactly what he's shown he can do, yet instead of keeping him in or giving him just a quick breather, they bring back Looney playing in the Air Cinder Blocks. Teams seem so much more athletic than us because the coaching staff keeps the few athletes we do have (Moody, TJD, Kuminga) glued to the bench. Educated layman can figure this out how come paid coaches seem dumbfounded?
FromTheLandOfHella
2023-12-19 16:20:36 +0000 UTCAlch, your take please: Let's suppose the warriors go on a wild win streak stretching over the next 10-20 games during which Draymond is off the court. At that point, are we ready to finally consider if Mr. Green is more trouble than he's worth? Like how many times are we going to allow him to detonate the team's focus and cohesiveness? And if we don't eliminate or at least cut back his minutes, we all know that it will inevitably be a further truncation of the already scarce minutes allotted to KJ, Moody, Trayce etc. Do you feel there's no winning a title without him? If so, will he actually BE on the court when the title is on the line (i.e. not serving a suspension)?
Childe Costa
2023-12-19 13:31:50 +0000 UTCEveryone is proposing trades to try to get one last championship out of ‘The Steph Years”. Here was a game where Steph was a net negative, yet they won! Maybe the story is that the Warriors have many of the pieces to remain relevant WITHOUT STEPH. He’s old; he’s a defensive liability; he’s not the same guy. Instead of giving up JK or Moses why not try to build from this foundation. Trade Klay now while he still has value, get someone younger with a future. Same with Looney.
Jerry Heverly
2023-12-19 07:53:56 +0000 UTCIt is positive that Klay and Wiggs are playing way better and that TJD got any minutes. However, it concerns me that the game was this close against this young blazers team. Steph played bad but Klay and Wiggs were going off. We will be good to go in the playoffs if the rotations are good. For that, Kuminga needs to be allowed to play more minutes and gets more trust from Steve. We will need Kuminga in the Playoffs.
Jakob
2023-12-19 07:32:42 +0000 UTCMy feeling is that Steve Kerr is giving young players right now only minutes in Iate 4th quarter if you really proofed yourself. And only Podz did that with his breakout game and his consistent effort. It does not matter for Steve if the young guys show promises or are even slightly playing better than the vets. That was the reason for me why he took out TJD. He did not want to smoke the game and TJD was attacked in back to back possessions at rim and did not prevent the baskets. That’s enough for Steve to pull a young player even though the VET might not play better or even changes the court dynamic to the worse.
Jakob
2023-12-19 07:28:33 +0000 UTCHe's still playing Loon too much and for no real reason it seems other than "he's a vet" and "he's our 5". He's not even rebounding well which used to be his niche. If he's out of shape or tired, Kerr needs to let him sit more so he can play with more energy in smaller windows.
Neal X
2023-12-19 07:12:34 +0000 UTCDefinitely agree that we don't need CP3 with Podz showing out, but we already basically knew that when we got him -- it was just the best way to salvage the situation that was Jordan Poole at the time. If GP2 were healthy he'd be getting Paul's minutes, ideally.

2023-12-19 06:29:49 +0000 UTCDid any one else catch Loon pulling his mouthguard out of his sock and then sticking it into him mouth when he came back in in the 4th?!?
Windfury
2023-12-19 06:28:13 +0000 UTCCP3 was Steph's life alert in this game. Steph almost pissed the entire game away and CP3 saved him
A m a r Singg
2023-12-19 03:53:44 +0000 UTCI've been a huge Kerr supporter since 2022, but if he doesn't give TJD at least 10-15 min a game I'm gonna be pissed. I def think Wiseman PTSD is at play lol
A m a r Singg
2023-12-19 03:12:50 +0000 UTCyes, please play Saric and TJD together. Would love to see it.
A m a r Singg
2023-12-19 03:07:09 +0000 UTCGreat points. And you're right, when you look at advanced metrics, ALL the best lineups have CP3 in them. Warriors fans hate the guy though and want to see him gone.
A m a r Singg
2023-12-19 03:04:40 +0000 UTCUnc! You’re very adamant toward Grant to the warriors! How would you get that done with trades? Would be cool to see you do another trade simulator video but using the whole warriors roster
Ben D
2023-12-19 01:33:58 +0000 UTCGP2 is really missed, his winning plays are something else, but also TDJ should play way more now, him and Saric and CP3 should be a great punch off the bench
Naji Zouhari
2023-12-19 01:18:51 +0000 UTCIt comes with the territory of being a GOAT. You want to enter that discussion, you better have the chips to back it up.
Jimmy Ji
2023-12-19 00:49:58 +0000 UTCI used my entire first comment to rant about TJD. But outside of that, I dont think Ive ever seen a game-winning charge, let alone from a rookie. That is some platinum 2 ton STEEL BALLS type shit. Easily couldve gone the other way and been a game-losing and1. But hey. I will give credit. That was an ULTRA-RISK ULTRA-REWARD play and just the sheer audacity to try it lets me know that Podz is for real. He is a baller man. He probably wont ever be a #1 option on a contending team, but damn I wouldnt put it past him to have a long effective career just being a DAWG.
Jansen E
2023-12-19 00:30:55 +0000 UTCIm convinced that kuminga probably cucked kerr
Sean An
2023-12-19 00:19:27 +0000 UTCI went to the Nets game. Watching Loon in person is even worse than on the broadcast. The dude just cant move anymore. Every time he gets the ball under the basket, its either him getting stuffed, smoking an easy one, or having to pass it out. Thank GOD for Saric for getting in foul trouble, forcing Kerr to play TJD, because we ALL know that he would never even consider it if he wasnt forced to. This is why I refused to give Kerr any credit for making the starting lineup change or for keeping Klay benched in that other game. Because even after PULLING TEETH to get him to make that change, he still is rolling the corpse of Kevon Looney out there expecting things to get better. TJD is the clear future of the position for the rest of the season. Loon just can NOT play anymore man. CP3 immediately unlocks the pick and roll threat with TJD. Guys suddenly have to think a little bit when attacking the rim. Everything changes for the better with TJD on the floor except for the vet savvy/BBIQ. But TJD wont get any smarter if he doesnt actually play. Someone mentioned Kerr having Wiseman-PTSD. Okay thats fine. I get it and makes a little more sense. But Wiseman had like 3 days of actual experience, and TJD is a 4 year starter out of college. These are not the same dudes. If he wants to start Loon, fine. But for the love of god, have loon play the first 4-5 minutes, then get him the hell out of the there. Until Kerr makes the change for TJD, he still gets zero credit from me in terms of his "coaching revelations". He needed to be figuratively beat to a pulp to cut down Wiggins minutes. Meanwhile, Loon has done fuck all this whole season and seems to be getting worse by the quarter. PLAY TJD.
Jansen E
2023-12-19 00:19:20 +0000 UTCWhy of all the rosters you would name the only person having his physical amd mental condition in check, the box office of the franchise to blame. come on bro

2023-12-18 23:42:12 +0000 UTCI hear u but a good team & coach would put out the fire as soon as it started. Not happening here so far. Not tryin to be negative. These guys have the personnel & tools to be a +5 seed, they just gotta work on the execution
Mikey H
2023-12-18 23:34:13 +0000 UTCtrue, u can def see it in his demeanor. But he's def the man w the clout to tell Kerr what he's been doin aint workin

Gsw4L
2023-12-18 23:19:33 +0000 UTCEncouraging performances by the young guys, Klay and Wigs, but once again they continue the trend of blowing another double digit lead regardless of the result. It's become a trend that they can't seem to get out of. Happy for any win at this point, but they can't keep playing like this. On a side note, Camara reminds me of Trevor Ariza. If he can hit the 3 consistently, he'll have a long career in the NBA.
Nick Elliston
2023-12-18 23:13:42 +0000 UTCI get it, no one wants to talk about how much money someone else is making but the difference again is that this is all public information including the amounts they make in endorsement deals. As fans, we care about winning and the perceived value each individual player brings to a winning team. Without the financial component, we can no longer perceive that value.
Jimmy Ji
2023-12-18 23:05:42 +0000 UTCCP is the kid in the group project who’s like “quit f***ing around, we have work to do” while Steph and Draymond are goofing off and Klay’s lighting one up..
Nadav Savio
2023-12-18 22:23:46 +0000 UTCEvery time I see Podz make winning plays I think about his dad calling him a dog in the draft day interview lol I think Dunleavy might have to move a couple pieces to force Kerr to play the right guys. We have the too much depth problem but issue is Kerr is relying on the wrong guys in CP and Looney for long stretches. I guess we’ll see how he puts together lineups till the end of the year. But could you imagine the energy of a Podz-Moody-Wiggins-Kuminga-TJD lineup for example? Kerr doesn’t like not having a veteran in there but half the games we’re playing a lineup of 5 gen z dudes on the other side any way 😂
Luke Zhang
2023-12-18 22:19:48 +0000 UTCSaw a decent amount of CP3-Steph-Moody-Kuminga-TJD in this game, what I think is our best lineup right now. Sending Draymond, maybe Looney, maybe Klay, maybe Wiggins, who knows, out for some better pieces is tempting..... Keep thinking about DeRozan. Or maybe Lively + Hardaway....... Dunno

2023-12-18 21:53:42 +0000 UTCIt’s been hella taxing to watch.. now imagine Steph
Athletic Alchemy
2023-12-18 21:52:35 +0000 UTCBruh!
Athletic Alchemy
2023-12-18 21:51:49 +0000 UTCWhen ever we start counting pockets it can get weird.. but for Klay.. what contract actually changes anything for him lifestyle wise. I’m obviously same can be said for Steph .. it’s all bigger lawn shit at this point
Athletic Alchemy
2023-12-18 21:51:24 +0000 UTCYea, they looked TIRED! Unfortunately we can't afford to rest them right now
Carla Davis
2023-12-18 21:49:48 +0000 UTCAgree. I think wiggs might be better fit with cp3. Also, I think he brings something the vets need too . It's hard to quantify what it is but he brings something to the team that helps everyone in a way. I see his value and his limitations. I would only move him for someone that's a game changer.
Carla Davis
2023-12-18 21:48:56 +0000 UTCGood call Chip
Athletic Alchemy
2023-12-18 21:47:56 +0000 UTCI could see a world where the dubs move on from CP3, but I also think he deserves credit for bringing out the best of his teammates he shares the floor with. I noticed when he was on the floor with Wiggs, he kept talking to him in between plays and making it a point to give Wiggs the ball in his spot and let him go to work. That's a pretty dire contrast from when Wiggs is in the starting lineup where everything is unplanned and revolves around Steph, and because Wiggs isn't assertive he kind of drifts into the background. CP3 is the yin to the warriors yang, and I think come playoff time we will want someone like him to help unlock guys around him and give us something different from motion offense. It is problematic though that he doesn't fit with Steph
Seb P
2023-12-18 21:32:12 +0000 UTCman, I just really hope they don't trade podz.
Inctiz
2023-12-18 21:04:56 +0000 UTCYah if Kerr doesn't at least give TJD some minutes from here, he's being negligent. Loon isn't that guy anymore.
A m a r Singg
2023-12-18 20:54:54 +0000 UTCwhy do you care about role players' future contracts so much? I've never heard reasoning like this. these guys are all WELL compensated. who cares. they are getting 20 minutes per game and will likely get more next year. the market will decide what they are. the nba is a meritocracy.
A m a r Singg
2023-12-18 20:52:52 +0000 UTCCare about winning? Okay. Sure. Klay and Wiggins are -85 when they play together all season. Looney has been terrible and they are hindering the development of their own rookie. But sure. You care about winning. Why are you even replying to me with this?
Goku44
2023-12-18 20:45:43 +0000 UTCI swear the reading comprehension for some people is terrible.
Goku44
2023-12-18 20:45:21 +0000 UTCwho cares about some role players' future contracts? i care about winning and Steph winning. Podz is a winner immediately. Klay is rounding into form...sorry Moody.

2023-12-18 20:40:30 +0000 UTCKlay >>>>>>>>>> Moody. the hilarity of Warriors fans thinking Moody should play over Klay will never stop being funny.

2023-12-18 20:36:02 +0000 UTCB2Backs for Loon and Steph and CP3 are looking especially tough.
Chip Tingle
2023-12-18 20:35:23 +0000 UTCOlder legs, Kerr not playing the young guys to spell the older legs, and the league is now “3 ball do or die” definitely contributes
Coreyy
2023-12-18 20:33:20 +0000 UTCKerr not playing them so we don’t have to pay them. It all makes sense now
Coreyy
2023-12-18 20:29:23 +0000 UTCBob is so overrated. Look at his drafts, pure ass. Dunleavy has one draft and kills it immediately.
A m a r Singg
2023-12-18 20:28:08 +0000 UTCKerr playing Loon like he’s a Make A Wish kid living out his dream will never get old. I would go either Kuminga at the small ball 5 or start Trayce to let Loon come pff the bench and play with CP and the second unit who clearly plays slower than Steph/Klay/Podz
Coreyy
2023-12-18 20:27:51 +0000 UTCyeah, but no games against the grizzlies so far sucks. they will not be the same team at the end of the year
Andreas Wiedemann
2023-12-18 20:25:12 +0000 UTCPods will eat CP's min and I love it, I think Kerr must see TJD needs to eat some of Loon's minutes after last nights game. Big slow physical teams Loon can do better but small and quick teams means more TJD. Too bad Steph's 3 streak is over, that one will last.
Russ
2023-12-18 20:22:31 +0000 UTCSteve is doing great since Draymond got suspended. Draymond threw the entire roster for a loop (along with Wiggins, Kuminga, and Klay sucking ass) and gutted their interior defense, so all these adjustments are on the fly. Warriors fans are known to be rabid though, and sports fans will always point to the coach first. Also, no one is mentioning that TJD had knee issues earlier in the season, and had to sit out SC games. Now if they don't play him from here for at least 5-8 mins a game, then we have an issue.
A m a r Singg
2023-12-18 20:22:04 +0000 UTCI think we’re gonna find out in the next 10gm or so.. but you might be right! I think it’s taken too long from a fans perspective.. however to be fair we are not that ones that have to actually do it
Athletic Alchemy
2023-12-18 20:21:24 +0000 UTCMan Bob Myers couldn't draft. It's becoming so obvious. Dunleavy killed with TJD and Podz. The IQ/ feel /decision making is immediate. Finally we got guys who can help us win NOW. I mean Kerr coached his ass off in 2022 and won a title with Poole, but look at what Poole is now... Bob Myers botched drafts and bounced, kind of cowardly tbh. Also, thank God we had CP3 in to close, I could not stomach seeing Steph piss away another close game.
A m a r Singg
2023-12-18 20:21:10 +0000 UTCMaybe I'm in the minority, but I feel like Steve is evolving right before our eyes. He's making the right moves at the right times. He gave the team 25 games and he's now pivoted. Does he play Loon too much? Sure, but as of now that is my biggest complaint. Rotations look good, he sat Klay and Wiggins when they were butt munch, and he seems to be openning the flood gates for Podz (and now potentially TJD). Steve has upped his game and I like it.
Ryan Farber
2023-12-18 20:18:56 +0000 UTCAlso does the absence of draymond help getting more versatile? I think i read it here, that someone said it frees wiggins a lot and it looks like it might have a positive effect on him.
Andreas Wiedemann
2023-12-18 20:17:18 +0000 UTCThe market will not be saturated for Grant. If they have the best offer, Portland will work with the Warriors.
Stevie Ray
2023-12-18 20:15:31 +0000 UTCAre any teams really mid anymore? Everyone has someone that can put 40 on your head if you're not careful. Spurs beat the lakers after losing how many in a row? Any team can have an on night when you have an off one.
Nathan Glanzer
2023-12-18 20:14:14 +0000 UTCIf Steph truly wants to prioritize winning, he needs to restructure his contract and take a lower cap hit. Is it going to affect him financially going from $50m/yr to $35m/yr? If he is willing to do this, it's going to set the example for Klay and Draymond to do the same. What did Tom Brady do at the end of his career? He prioritized winning and took a pay cut to join the Bucs and he got another ring for it. I'd argue it's better overall for his long-term money because the endorsements will be far greater if he remains at the very top of his game as a winner.
Jimmy Ji
2023-12-18 20:13:55 +0000 UTCI think its a reflection of how tight the league is and we`re not that far away. If they would have won some more of those, we wouldn`t see the young guys as much. Might be a blessing in disguise. I would love to see more of tjc with kuminga and wiggins/moody cp and steph. On a personal note: thanks for your work alch. It honestly keeps me interested in the games.
Andreas Wiedemann
2023-12-18 20:13:42 +0000 UTCI think loon dog got some black mail footage on Steve and Kenny getting freaky after the last championship 😂 was nice seeing Wiggins get over his nerlins Noel ptsd for once and finish with an actual dunk!
Connor H
2023-12-18 20:13:06 +0000 UTCThe Warriors can get Grant for CP3 + 1 or 2 picks (no young players required). Not sure where this mortgage the future thing is coming from. Many people around the league still feel like long term his contract is questionable.
Stevie Ray
2023-12-18 20:12:56 +0000 UTCsomeone was sayin dubs had the hardest schedule in the league so far. It's supposed to loosen up alot. Still, lettin mid teams like the nets & portland come that close is def not a good thing

2023-12-18 20:12:47 +0000 UTCBe interesting to see how the nice regime runs things. This coaching staff ain't getting extended past the summer.

2023-12-18 20:09:20 +0000 UTCMan, Bob really fucked us with the gp2 trade last year didn’t he? maybe we could’ve gotten j grant if there wasnt bad blood between the organizations. Pussy ass bob even filed an official complaint against them. Shit sucksss

2023-12-18 20:03:52 +0000 UTCAlc you know what it is man, it’s a complete indictment on the coaching staff and not putting the players in the right spots to succeed.. Kerr is literally a space cadet and it’s beyond egregious at this point this guy was ever allowed to be a coach.. He been hiding behind HOF players and high IQ players his entire tenure in GS. It was Mike Brown that was the brains behind the coaching and Kerr allowed to take the credit. Now watch him bury TJD on the bench for the next 6 games..

2023-12-18 20:01:48 +0000 UTCIt doesent say we aren't good enough. I'd argue it says the opposite. We are 11-13 in games that went to crunch time. If we won just 6 more of those we are the 2nd or 3rd seed and the whole narrative around the season is different. It would be "omg they are the 2nd seed and look how awful they are playing if they could ever get it together they will he scary" so im of the belief that we really are great we just have to nail down roles and rotations and we haven't really got it down this season because so much is changing game to game. Between dray in and out and now TJD is making a case to get minutes somhow........I will say cp3 needs moved for some sort of something more of a fit.

2023-12-18 20:00:46 +0000 UTCAt the end of the first half, Kuminga lead the team in points and rebounds. I knew he would sit most of the second. It's like Kerr hates this kid. The Warriors are literally messing up Kuminga and Moody's future contracts.

2023-12-18 19:59:01 +0000 UTCDude commentary is hilarious which is part of the reason why I pay my $2/month. But I think the roster is good, I just think its the coaching. They just dont want to play the young guys. You can see how much of a difference makes especially in a long NBA season. I have no problem with someone having the hot hand and playing longer cause that makes sense. But I am like you why cant Jackson-Davis get my PT it makes such a difference in the offense and defense.
Jeremy Stone
2023-12-18 19:58:36 +0000 UTCPlay Kuminga at the 5! especially against a team like Portland! When Wiggs is playing well coming off the beach, that translated to less minutes for JK at the 3/4.
Alon Altman
2023-12-18 19:56:47 +0000 UTCI agree with the consensus to have more TJD and less Looney. Also felt that Kuminga played well and didn't foul at the end of the game-I really hope the Warriors continue to be patient with him as they really could use his athleticism and power. Not everyone can go to a 4 -year college program. Not everyone can be 'Steve Kerr' 'basketball player' type of team members like Podz. But if Jeremi Grant comes to the Warriors-I could understand that. Jonathan Kuminga will be a great player in time-also many don't realize the path he took to the NBA came out of a country that right now is being ripped apart by civil war-no one talks about that too much.
Paul Hanson
2023-12-18 19:54:50 +0000 UTCIt's so insane that in less than a year, Loon has gone from being one of the few guys you feel good about entering the game to last night feeling nervous once Kerr subbed out TJD for him. Hopefully the rook's performance and overall skillset against the younger, athletic teams helps Kerr keep him in there more, but it's probably going to be another 4-5 games, just based on how slow the staff has been this year with rotation adjustments

2023-12-18 19:53:50 +0000 UTCI rather have the longer breakdowns, than a shorter one just 5o fit YouTube. We're having trouble eaking out wins against the weaker teams. We're just not good enough this year. But some promising stuff. I don't think it's a good idea to trade for some star. Ppl get caught up in the offensive numbers, but forget what that player gives up in chemistry and defence.
Francisco Hazel
2023-12-18 19:51:17 +0000 UTCAll I want is them to pick a path.This ice him out and telling him to guard the best player on court for the last minute shit.Is crazy .Why didn’t he play Wiggins in that situation.The hot hand

2023-12-18 19:48:20 +0000 UTCWe are actually sort of a reflection of last years Miami team with the clutch games. They played the second most and were 32-22. And this year we've played the most and are 11-11. So I think it speaks to the age of the squad; not being able to athletically compete every game, but having the intelligence and experience to rely on other nights. But also to the fact that we are relying on guys that we probably shouldn't be if we're trying to win a championship. I mean Miami just had guys that got hot in the playoffs that everyone just ignored during the regular season. And while I like Podz and TJD, I can't see them suddenly reaching a higher level in a short amount of time.

2023-12-18 19:47:56 +0000 UTCBe interesting to see what the Celtics game shows added to the sample. Is the offense unlocked without Dray? We saw how nice things can look with TJ-D, a rookie, but these last two games were against undersized squads. If we get waxed against Boston, it's nothing, but if somehow this is the start of something, Dray might be the one to move (ironically in the first season I didn't want to move him).
Stevie Ray
2023-12-18 19:47:26 +0000 UTCWhat's so weird is that Steve used to love javale as just an energy x factor guy so I didn't understand why he wouldn't let tjd get on the floor especially with CP3 who has pretty much always had a lob threat
JSII
2023-12-18 19:47:14 +0000 UTCJoy first!Before the W's got good, they were almost impossible to watch. The W's don't look so good this year, but the whole league is more fun to watch, and that's becvause of Kerr-ball. I prefer watching a good game that we lose, to watching some snore-fest that we win. Yeah, I too would like to see more JoKu, Moody, Podz, and TJD. It might speed up the pace.
Phil Morton
2023-12-18 19:46:56 +0000 UTCThere's an entire SF Chronicle article today about how bad Looney has played this season; I feel like it was front office or asst coaches asked this guy to write this so Kerr could hear it from a third party.

Andre Brooks
2023-12-18 19:46:15 +0000 UTCIt’s a reflection of us just not being good enough. Not good enough schematically and not enough size and talent. We DO NOT generate enough advantage to run teams off the floor anymore. And that’s why these wins are ultimately bad. Because the front office and coaching staff will look to these and justify inaction. Sickening
Andre Brooks
2023-12-18 19:44:00 +0000 UTCI felt that "dude, what the fuck" in my soul about TJD not getting more minutes.
OhSomeABeanLoadin
2023-12-18 19:41:35 +0000 UTCThe reality of coaching a roster that is NOT one of the smartest in the league is hitting Kerr again. I think that historically Kerr has had to make changes to how the closing lineup was playing instead of having to actually tinker with the lineup. From the Death lineup, Hampton 5, and PTSD, it never was made sense to be dynamic with the lineup but now game to game, Kerr needs to be looking at Moody vs Klay, Podz vs CP3 and TJD vs Loon.

2023-12-18 19:35:54 +0000 UTCMan, no hate against Kevon, but watching him smoke a layup by miles and then fall over like he’s 80 years old had me dying and it belongs on Shaqtin' a Fool ^^

2023-12-18 19:35:05 +0000 UTCWhat’s going on with the Dubs the second half of games. So many games they come out and end the first half up double digits, completely drop the ball in the 3rd which used to be the best quarter for the dubs. But the second half of games they are just being thoroughly outplayed by every team

2023-12-18 19:33:39 +0000 UTCConsidering Utah's asking price for Lauri do go after Grant? Not sure he moves the needle enough to mortgage our future on
mcpedre
2023-12-18 19:33:31 +0000 UTCI think the close games is a sign of the coaching staff’s predictability. We blow leads basically because it’s easy to predict the matchups and every team has players to either expose our lack of rim protection. Why can’t kerr play dario with trayce… not like they play anything alot. If kerr is bought in on keeping CP3.. then cp3 needs a vertical spacer.
Offtopic K
2023-12-18 19:33:29 +0000 UTCForreal. Its messed up how Kerr is treating him. Did you see him on the bench during CP3's fadeaway? He didn't move an inch. He' s done with Kerr.
Vincent Zendejas
2023-12-18 19:32:12 +0000 UTCIt was great to see TJD out there playing well. If felt like everytime we had Loon or Saric at the 5, Portland was able to exploit them, make their move and get back in the game.
Alon Altman
2023-12-18 19:31:49 +0000 UTCAlso this kuminga shit is starting piss off .pick a path with him man.He is playing good basketball .We are winning his minutes.then you bench him basically the second half but then put him in the last minute to make a stop.so he is good enough to play that but not the second half.If your gonna bench .Just do it .Make the trade .i think Jk been hooping and only reason he not 18/6 guy is because you sit him.He is not the real starter.Is he scared the kuminga gonna play to good that won’t be able to bench.Just make a decision
mr.bean
2023-12-18 19:29:34 +0000 UTCI dont understand why Kerr will not try Wiggins and Kuminga out there at the same time.
Vincent Zendejas
2023-12-18 19:27:37 +0000 UTCAlch agree with you on the Kerr thing.the shit he is doing is head scratching.The thee pg lineup is terrible and I can predict what is gonna happen .They get walked down on the defensive end every single time and it is not some explosive offense.Cp3 does not have to close.But politics .Outside of Wiggins and Klay struggling that had the biggest concern.Will he do this in playoffs.if we make it
mr.bean
2023-12-18 19:24:53 +0000 UTCI just want to say how important Podz is to me
