I couldn't believe my eyes as to what was going on in the SL. Looked like they had destroyed Podz. No wonder we look like idiots when it comes to fouls

draymond always hurting when steph is out

Ryan becker

The motion structure we so heavily rely on, tends to not create the same shots over and over. No doubt when you have higher IQ shooters, the shots can be more dynamic (Otto, Beli) because they can find their spots, but standstill open threes are the easiest simplified shots we don't try for unless the opponent is willingly giving them up to none-threats. It's also tough to a get a rhythm especially when space on the floor is constantly being moved and rotations are what they are. It's just so crazy how we don't lean on what works for a particular matchup and rather stay within the structure regardless of if it's getting blown up or players aren't in sync.

Bob clearly didn’t, dun will see he has been kinda bound to bobs doing so far

Well said

Lol are you kidding? That dude wouldve been rotting the G-league until the All-star break.

If we drafted Lively, How many games before Kerr features him over Looney? 35 games?

i feel like every time kawakami is on the athletic's all 82 podcast, he's also blocking his two beat reporters with his incessant ramblings and repetitive remarks.

Haven't really seen anything of Dallas since they made those moves. Man they are nice even as annoying as I find Luka. Gafford and PJ just gives them so much size and athleticism. Lively is amazing too. Didn't expect to win this game. Klay needs to be playing fewer minutes even than he is now and resting more games. I understand the temptation to go to him with Steph out but he just doesn't have the legs for it and really hasn't since he came back. They have to make moves reshape the roster and the system in the off season but all signs point towards them cutting salary and doing nothing.

GSW are too small! Scrap this trash team bruh

Ravi Dissanayake

"blocking us like they were Kawakami on twitter" 😂

Captain Rossco

blocking like kawakami on twitter lmfaooo

Christopher Carlson

With the dubs, at this point I’m just like…whatever happens happens this season. No expectations. Kyrie though. Jeez does he have the most aesthetically appealing game ever?

Sevrin Weiss

Good point.. he is an elite dweeb

Athletic Alchemy

Alch funny enough your issues with Kerr and his challenges is more with the guy on the bench in charge of making the decision by looking at the replay which Kerr usually relies on outside of what he sees + players' request. Funny part is he's the same guy you had issues with over the coaching in the last summer league too

kcha

I feel like the theme of this year is lack of urgency, from the coaching staff/Kerr to the roster game to game. And watching Gafford this game the front office as well. Too much hopeful thinking that we’re gonna turn back the clock or not thinking anyone is a needle mover. You’re telling me Gafford wouldn’t make us a significantly better team rn? Hopefully another burnout causes some actually meaningful change this offseason.

CP is an overpaid cone, as Pat Bev put it.

godeau

Haha Kerr threw out his fucking brain decades ago. I’m getting more stories about that Suns team that Kerr managed and it was a shit show too.

godeau

Look, it’s obvious that more players are getting sick of the coaching staff, especially the youngsters. They never get clear instructions at first, the mins distribution is never fair, and they know they can play better without the fucking Steve Kerr. But no one is gonna stand up against him to mess up the locker room. So just shrug and accept it’s another wasted Steph year. How many years Lakers wasted Kobe? 3?

godeau

Wiggins looks like he had something extra last night. Also from the Mavs and Wiggins rumors earlier this year too it seemed like a try out. Souring on Moody too. Doesn’t really fit our system. All in all not a bad game. We too old and young.

Jrod

Did Kerr forget why Klay isn't a starter or a closer?

Vincent Zendejas

It would be great if Kerr just stopped playing Dario at this point. The entire mood of the game changes when this dude is on the court. He doesn't play D, bobbles the ball, and seems to only want to play pick and pop out by the 3 point line. Roll to the basket! My criticism for this season lies with Kerr; challenge that call. Get on some of these players who are not bringing any energy in game. Require Draymond and Klay to work out with Curry's endurance coach. Work with the GM to dump some of these scrawny guards for an athletic big.

At this point, we can't lose enough to fall to 11, and we aren't going to beat the Lakers enough to get to 9. 10th seed locked in and a non-playoff exit assured. :(

Thomas Ogas

Sometimes the ball does not go in....BUT we are definitely missing switches...not pushing to help...and sometimes, I think we don't know where the ball is. To me, it looks like a total breakdown of the most basic fundamentals in defense. It almost looks purposeful...I'll need to see a start-to-finish commitment to defense before I can believe we have a shot to go deep. I just don't understand why their defense doesn't travel night to night.

KD

Me too!

Thomas Ogas

Lol a little harsh, I would say the only one that objectively deserves that title is probably CP3.

Jimmy Ji

That comment was one of Alch’s best jokes tbh😂

Christian Oblena

Haven't watched your YouTube video yet, but yea when I saw how little Gafford went for at the deadline it was a bit disappointing. There's this narrative that a decent big is always available, but every deadline when you're looking for one for a pick, there's rarely a solid option on the market - last year it was just Poetl (who was only available bc he was inline for a big extension). Did the Mavs fuck their optionality long-term for 10th-15th best center in basketball, sure. But the Warriors organization seems to undervalue the impact in the equation of continuous solid 2-way frontcourt minutes. It loads rosters with firepower and no backbone.

Stevie Ray

Yeah, we been saying Moody should get his mins forever. And what we got? Chris Paul playing more and more. This boat is going down as Kerr coaching harder and harder. Fuck Kerr

godeau

- let mood get some of BP minutes -our coaches are scared of their own players - gafford jus little bro’d all of us, that stings - and that Britney griner comment had me weak 😂

sleeve nash

Overpaid losers

godeau

CP is so funny man 😂. I’m a lil sad he’s like way more calm and less outwardly petty in a Dubs uniform

yan't get right

Without Steph, this team is pretty much just a bunch of overpaid vets.

Jimmy Ji

im still blocked by kawakami on twitter 😂😂

Dami I

mentally readying myself for what seems like the inevitable play in with us vs. the Lakers and all the baggage that brings. Also tired of not having young guys that are shooters. Seems like every other team has them and we just have these toolsy guys that aren't great at any one particular thing

Abhi Kelkar

Will the refs be in their new Laker’s jerseys or are they gonna wear the classic BnW stripes?

Andre Brooks

Cp got ejected with scott referring for us

sam baines

Funny that at around the 11 minute mark my exact words were “He’s like a gazelle,” on that Lively play.

Sarcasm 360

Yeah Alch was right, Moody can start now, Pod Klay to bench, just keep Pod minutes away from CP3 minutes by any means necessary
