Title giving me PTSD..

Kevin Vestergaard

Ty Jerome sighting!!

John Pettus

Warriors win at Detroit and hold Wiseman scoreless. Not that that was terribly difficult. If the Pistons should release their 12th man, or is it 14th man, do you see where the Warriors would have any interest in picking him up cheap and trying again to develop him?

Hill Productions

Alchemy! Please tell me that you are going to add Moody's highlight rebound as he snatches it out of Wiseman's hands, in tomorrow's Detroit win breakdown ?!?!?!

CNeep

for sure he's been better than Wiggins. Wiggins been awful though. Kuminga so far has been worse than what he was last year too. They need him to take a leap badly, on both ends.

I had a feeling about this game. 100% agree on letting the young guys cook more in games like this. As for Draymond just now starting to hit 3's... the thing is, he always COULD. Everyone always said that in practice he could hit them at +50%, even better sometimes, it was mainly just a mental thing with him (backpack form notwithstanding).

Neal X

Cant wait to see the Brazilian Boogie on the team

Diego Arch

He makes 37 and wants a long term super max contract Ans he would require Kuminga in the deal. So I don't think it's in the realm of realistic possibility.

Stevie Ray

lets see these boys pick it up tonight

Mikey H

Siakam would be nice. Add some size and move JK to SF where he seems more natural right now.

Lee Schumacher

The disappointing thing with wiggs is that he looked locked in during the playoffs (granted that’s the playoffs) but he also said he wanted to be on an all defensive team this season. Dude just looks turned off… clock is ticking and Kuminga is Kuming…

Ben D

Lmao Kelenna talking about getting hit in the balls like Steve Carell talked about boobs feeling like bags of sand in 40 Year Old Virgin

thomas

I'm not too upset at this L. They've been travelling literally after every single game so far. That's gotta be exhausting for an older group. Nasty scheduling by the league. I expect a W in Detroit.

Crimson

An interesting take about Wiggs on YouTube post. I think you might be on to something (hopefully you're wrong, but it might be that).

Stevie Ray

Great breakdown Uncle Alch! Just found out that the 14th roster spot has gone to Gui Santos-he just signed a 3-year deal. Love to hear your take on this at some point-keep up the great work

Paul Hanson

Kuminga's been doing a lot better than Wiggins so far. Kuminga's shown more hustle and energy than Wigs in my estimation.

Paul Hanson

I feel like we put some of our athletes in the game at times where it might be the move to just put all of them in there and see if they can dominate the game athletically. Like the second unit I’d love to see CP3 orchestrating with GP2, Moody, Kuminga, and TJD instead of Saric. Rougher spacing but like you saw with the Cavs sometimes you can just physically overwhelm your opponent.

Luke Zhang

Yeaa thats exactly the problem. As high as I am on guys like Vanderbilt, there's no way a guy like that or even a collective of guys like that produces the playoff impact of even a B level effort from Andrew. It would be one thing if this roster lacked depth but it doesn't. If you trade Wiggs, it needs to be for an upgrade in the front court to either start and/or close. I don't see that trade out there.

Stevie Ray

@amar I agree.. thats why i said wait till we get close to the deadline. If we are still getting Space Cadet Wiggins after Christmas... then its time to pick that phone up

Ballin Forever

@stevie I honestly dont have a clue right now. Its so early into the season. But it would most def need to be someone like a Vanderbilt.. Jonathan Isaac... Mcdaniels type. Someone who could play the 3.. 4... 5. Or maybe someone like Caruso.

Ballin Forever

Wiggs makes peanuts relative to his positional and versatility values, he just needs some more time

Anthony Tsai

Gui Santos, 3-year deal 14th and final roster spot

Stevie Ray

Yea, starting him place of Wiggs would be interesting, because it's been assumed CP would unlock Kuminga, but it seems JK getting his is more mental rather than environmental. Whereas, thr CP3-Wiggins minutes show that having a true guard may be beneficial to unlock Andrew.

Stevie Ray

It's been 7 games bro, and Wiggins has a 4 year sample size with this team. Give him some time, I think his rib was hurt as well.

A m a r Singg

We are giving him too many jumpers. This is mostly in coaching. Can’t have JoKu in at the 4 while Saric is at 5. It yields too many Kuminga jump shots. He needs to be the primary PNR guy with CP to create more rim pressure.

Tre

Do you have a trade in mind specifically? I spent a few hours on mapping out possibilities over the weekend and was unable to find anything intriguing for both trade partners.

Stevie Ray

They started the mini baseball style series schedule last year to reduce travel and slim down back to backs. Unfortunately, because Golden State gets more national televised games, they also tend to get more back to backs than most due to scheduling.

Stevie Ray

What’s up with the schedule this year? It’s like baseball

Elias Candelaria

I hate to say it.. but ive seen enough. We gota do something about Wiggins. This could be our last season seeing our trio together and we need everyone to play with high energy if we have a chance at a chip. I think we got all the competitive juice out of Wiggins in 2022... he got his money, probably dealing with some shit off the court.. and he dont look locked in at all. If this continues as we get closer to the deadline... Dunleavy might need to pick that phone up.

Ballin Forever

Start him over Wiggins

Ryan Farber

Alch how do you get Kuminga going offensively in the first half of the games.He comes out so slow in the first half and then is a killer in the second half. I have peeped it to start the season.He easily 18-20 pts if he can bring the juice the first half

mr.bean

I have an idea that may address the size issue without a trade. They start TJ-D for the first 5 minutes of the game, chopping Looney's 1st half minutes down, with the intention of closing with him in the last 6. If they want to close with the CP3, Curry, and Klay, which appears to have a serious chemistry offensively, Draymond can't be the sole big in many of the marquee matchups. Though him shooting 3s is a huge plus in quarters 1-3, in Crunch time not only is him taking jumpers from the corner not an ideal use of a possession, he will never be respected as a shooter with regards to gravity. His inability to finish at the basket is a serious issue at the end of games, especially since we have no offensive rebounding presence. Looney should be playing 18 mins or less per game, saving the bulk of his minutes for the closing time. The opening 5 minutes with TJ-D can function as a litmus test to see if he can handle the match-up and be utilizes more throughout the game.

Stevie Ray

Time to start thinking about a nickname for TJD? I like his game a lot seems like it just fits us organically

Matt Hanna

They looked like they were saving their energy for Detroit, who beat them TWICE last year. Lol

Derrick Maples

We need Wiggins and Kuminga to wake up ASAP. The team is going nowhere without those two. Need that athletic wing scoring and defense BAD. I like what I saw from TJD but would much rather not have to use him at the expense of Kuminga/GP2 minutes.
