Ddddss, z

ChizzyTheKid

Dray better start getting ready to go the bench loll. Curry is already getting old. can't have 2 iffy defenders on the court

ChizzyTheKid

that plate flip at the end was gracious

Erin Laskey

Watch Kerr's reaction to Dray shot on 8:11 onwards. Hilarious

Neal X

I mean he's 100% right, just surprised he would call Kerr out specifically. After what happened with Team USA it became hard to deny Kerr has a massive bias.

John Pettus

I don’t think there’s any evidence for that.

Ezequiel Franzgrote

He is just traumatized now after picking wiseman haha

k fish

No way lol the biggest problem is the coach, the roster isn't the problem, but when u have a coach who comes into the season unprepared and then refuses to adjust to what's right in front of him.

Ruben Valce

Taylor getting got like that in prison lmaom Unc

Swole Mole

Completely agree, his vision should be next to develop. On that first shot attempt of this game, he broke down the defense on his drive and had a chance, albeit a small chance to get dray an open layup but settled for the contested floater. You said a few breakdowns ago, he has more ball-handling capabilities than we see, you might be right.

I agree...it's bball 101. Hands up! I think you're right AA; Draymond is injured and he's playing half as hard. It's also rubbing off on a lot of the other players. I'm still pointing the following at Kerr and coaching: - If Kerr found a sub to take some of Draymond's "center" responsibilities on last season, do we have a healthier draymond? - If Kerr plays Moody and Kuminga last season over Ty Jerome and Anthony Lamb, are we in a better situation going into this season? - If Kerr reduces Klay's minutes last year vs. piling it on in Curry's absence, do we have a fresher-steppin Klay? - If Kerr pushes Draymond and Klay to get in peak shape/endurance, do we see a better outcome? - Why does Kerr insist on putting 3 pgs under 6'5" on the floor together who have to guard 6'9" wings? I'm baffled.

Jordan Smith

Yeah he's pretty good with his spin so no need to elevate as much.

Athletic Alchemy

As silly as it may sound, it shit like that that makes me question what is really going on behind the scenes

Athletic Alchemy

He was on a podcast and when asked about choosing sac he said big men don’t play in GS

Athletic Alchemy

To many non threatening close outs . Like hand up practice shooting your not really pressed

Athletic Alchemy

It’s a joke at this point. Imagine if we make the playoffs and bro does some crazy shit

Athletic Alchemy

I’m not by any means giving up on him, but I think he needs to attack the close outs and kick it much more than he does

Athletic Alchemy

lol I think he has to stop elevating and get it up like the euros and women do

Athletic Alchemy

Maybe it’s the beard but I thought Jenkins was a big dude.. like draymond size

Athletic Alchemy

😂 facts

Abhi Kelkar

Bob Myers on the broadcast complimenting TJD: "big guys that can't catch are a major problem" THEN WHYD YOU DRAFT BIG JIM BOB

Ejikeme Uzoigwe

Draymond’s picks his fights with Mayweather-level discipline.

Offtopic K

Good win. Wish we rested dray today but I guess we really need these wins right now

Neal X

Damn he actually said that?

Neal X

The ankle definitely doesn't help.

Enzo Cree

A good majority of our losses is because of Kerr’s incompetence… I really don’t know why they extended his contract.. The guy is space cadet

Rug Ntar

Klay went to the bench and is now flourishing….let’s see if dray and curry can find ways to defer….the consistency definitely helps the team chemistry… I’m really not a fan of this version of curry defensively… he clearly needs a 1b/2nd option….

Luke Zhang

I couldn’t believe they challenged that after ALL the ones they’ve passed up 🤦🏻‍♂️ Always nice putting a beating on Memphis no matter who’s playing, ngl Taylor Jenkins crumbling to the floor had me cackling 🤣

Jordan Smith

On that break when Podz got blocked he should have went up but dropped it off to Wiggs. Good job from Wiggs to not yell at his teammate for making an awful read.

Evan Palmer

I think it's most likely that Klay is playing well because he's coming off the bench. He doesn't have the legs for starters minutes anymore. Now, he gets to go against second units, and if he has it rolling, he's fresher for closing. It's a win/win. Why mess with it?

Swole Mole

In defense of moody’s difficult shots, it’s more cause of his long wind up and wingspan that guys are able to cover ground on him from 3. Even still, all the shots he’s taken until his recent cold streak had him at decent efficiency from 3 (36%) and good from the field (48%), overall. So, realistically he just needs the consistent minutes to perform and/or adjust his shot over the summer for a quicker release.

Coreyy

I don’t care what moves we make this offseason as long as this video review dweeb is GONE. How one can be SOOOOO bad at knowing when and when not to use a challenge is insane

Athletic Alchemy

Javale said he didn't want to play for Kerr basically is what I heard, cant blame him

Athletic Alchemy

he is playing too much there is no doubt

decomplexify5000

I agree Karleke. We all have very high expectations and the dubs are under a microscope.

Swole Mole

Honestly, if this were another team, we’d be proud of them for where they are. There are too many problems that compound into themselves but because of the names on the back, we’re outraged at the Losses.

decomplexify5000

I totally agree on the Bob Meyers analysis. I'm not sure who is watching and is looking for expert commentary from a former GM. What's next? ESPN hires some Laker's girl for additional commentary? I'm not into it . Get Cheryl Miller to fill that seat. It seems like general laziness on defense in the early quarters of the last few games. Drop zone is giving our opponents a lot of room to make 3s. Aside from TJD, I want to see what Garuba looks like out there. Kerr and the coaching staff's decisions are baffling. Where would we be if Moody and Kuminga got more time last season?

bob star

I'm glad you mentioned Javale. I've seen too many people try to act like "The Warriors have never had a vertical lob threat" and it's crazy no one remembers him. Why didn't they try and bring Javale back this season? I don't feel like he was highly sought by any team and it seems like he'd be a good fit for the Dubs, yet again. Too many off-seasons I think "Warriors need a Center" and then they just sit on their hands and do nothing. (Dwight Howard comes to mind, literally every season after his Rockets run.) Also Klay is the GOAT and should be starting but Looney literally killed his starting spot and now every game we hear about how Klay is doing so well OFF THE BENCH. Maybe the dude's just doing well, period? He was definitely too in his head to start this season.

k fish

Man podz can do no wrong lol I just don't understand the logic, it's fine podz starts but he quickly comes back in to play next to cp3 which makes no sense because obviously the size and also cp3 is doing all the ball handling and play making mixed with a little klay and trayce pnr. This would be the perfect spot for moody which would basically split podz minutes while also giving us more size and a good look at moody who is never getting consistent minutes. Kerr is clearly showing favotisim, podz playing 18 or 20 min instead of 30 plus is not going to hurt this team, actually it would help in my opinion

Ejikeme Uzoigwe

I will say though: guys like Draymond, Kerr or Myers always preach about team, but are petty and selfish in their own way. At least Klay has always been honest re who he is and what he’s about.

Slurpy

that challenge was batshit insane😭 steve staring directly at it 5 feet away

yan't get right

STOP HUNTING STEPH should be on a piece of paper in everyone's pre-game locker for the rest of the season

yan't get right

So well said. Klay is the man and he looks so comfortable right now. Makes me smile

Thomas Ogas

Glad you mentioned the bench brain trust losing that challenge on the out of bounds fumbled ball off Steph. Why even challenge that? The "mistaken call" didn't cost us any points. Didn't unjustly give them points. And it didn't put one of our key guys in foul trouble. Teams get 1 (+1 if right) challenges per game. That's it. Gonna gamble on that meaningless call but not on any of the other important mistakes they refuse to challenge that cost us games?

B Master

god when will they please take draymond out and give themselves a chance in the play in. He's not gonna help vs the pacers.

Ejikeme Uzoigwe

😂

Athletic Alchemy

id love to just see him start taking some better angles on closeouts an POA but otherwise everything is on schedule

Athletic Alchemy

I agree and its taking its toll on him like Draymond.. how many undersized guys can you have on the floor and say well "he plays bigger"

Vincent Zendejas

Kumingas minutes getting better!

Athletic Alchemy

good point seemed near impossible a few weeks ago ... he looks like he is going to settle into a perfect role at a reasonable price and finish his career out here. That said what if he just takes a bag midnight of FA lol

Ejikeme Uzoigwe

One good thing about the past couple weeks: Things were looking dark for Klay for a little while. I mean, how many of us were expecting an ugly, money-related departure at the end of the season? And even being kinda thinking good riddance? It’s increasingly looking like we’ll remember selfish, in-his-feelings Klay as just a minor, post-injury blip in his Warriors career and not the final chapter.

Swole Mole

They need to stop looking at GP as someone bigger than 6’2. The dubs are truthfully playing four guards out there and having a shot blocker in Trayce is not enough to protect this lineup in the playoffs. It’s scary hours if they even make it to play-in, I’m afraid.
