It's a team wide priority this year, specially for Kuminga. I dont think stats tell the full story, those two are the least likely to box out imo.. wigs can be thrown in that mix too

8 out of their first 10 on the road sounds hard to me.
Crystal Sturdivant
His take on the rebounding was a little off. Klay has been averaging 4 rebounds a game and JK has been averaging 3. Wiggins 1.5 and Moody less than 2.5. The end of the bench is definitely why you saw a difference in rebounding.

It's such a weird feeling to be almost disappointed when the bench subs out lol we have a top 10 player ever coming in and I want to see more of the cp3,Saric and Moody unit haha
Tony Stark
youre probably right but seeing that all his shots he gets are all butt naked threes, i dont mind it.
Tony Stark
our schedule gets a bit rough december/january... i hope our vets can stay fresh till then.

Maybe its just me but GP takes forever to let it go. I truly believe he's thinking about it too much n hes aiming it.
Jerry Heverly
Kuminga is a lackluster rebounder??? Saric reminds me of Wiseman on defense; retreat, retreat, retreat, then a ticky tack foul. Rebounds: Saric 10; TJD 9; Podziemski 8. Three pointers OTC (other than Curry) = 8/28 = 29%

Dumb and Dumber is perfect. Watching Wash last night I had flashbacks of our last year playing with Joran, he just sabotages the team first mentality of our team, everyone looked so down last year, this year looks so much better
Brad Smith
Zion meal plan = Gold
Nathan Glanzer
I usually just chuckle at your jokes but let me tell you I had to pause and laugh out loud for awhile when you said those girls were on the Zion diet. Lolololol
ChizzyTheKid
Pelicans dancers on the zion diet got me ngl lol
Athletic Alchemy
missed it
Athletic Alchemy
Im speak on it more.. my guess is it still has to do with last year
Athletic Alchemy
it had to be at 2.5
Athletic Alchemy
lol nice!
Athletic Alchemy
GP is a special dude man.. the journey the attitude the attributes
Jacob
How you feeling about Harden to the Clippers
Athletic Alchemy
awwww
Athletic Alchemy
they said he hadnt played there in years.. but he likes that building too. Buried young AD and Jru several times
Athletic Alchemy
we havnt seen a duo like Jp and Kuz since jim carrey and jeff daniels
Jacob
I get your concern for wiggs but the reason I’m not is because we know he knows he has to show up. He’s a quiet dude. He’s probably gon figure it out in the shower one night hah
Athletic Alchemy
and its genuine
Athletic Alchemy
I ger frustrated at times with the rigidness of the staff .. but It was pretty clear early on last year this wasnt on them.. the Vets nixed it first imo
Athletic Alchemy
he isn't present he has all these stop and start moments in his mind, I can see it
Athletic Alchemy
im no where near redy to give uo on him. I thought he would come into this seaon refreshed after playing so little last year
Athletic Alchemy
that was some young guy on sac bench.. lot a kids going for that look
Shea Johnson
Steph is actually just hanging his nuts in people’s faces bruh this man is sick
Ballin Forever
Wiggins is absolutely concerning me.. because this is who he has been for the majority of his career outside of the 2 good seasons he had with us. If this continues for another month or so.. I hate to say it but a trade might have to be on the table. Wiggins is taking up too much of the cap for his energy and production to be this low I know we gave him a pass last season becuz everyone seemed to be dragging it... but to see him play with this low energy while everyone else is playing super hard lets me know he is clearly distracted by something off the floor. I hope he gets a grip
Neal X
It's a long season. Plenty of time for Wiggins to get right.
Jim
I was sure you were going to mention the side hat hillbilly from the stands in the third
PH1
Is it possible Wiggins is reacting badly to having direct competition (Kuminga & Moody). It’s odd because most competitive elite sportspeople have that inner drive to not relinquish their starting role or to fight to get into a starting lineup. Wiggins isn’t that guy though – we all know this. He can get going but he needs to be in the perfect mindset. That’s not to say he is sulking either. Despite all his talent, he actually strikes me as a guy who wouldn’t mind coming off the bench. Hopefully this is just a weird start of the season but the straight line drive by him was very concerning. It doesn’t seem like a lack of effort, it just seems like he’s distracted. Hopefully he sorts himself out because no matter how good moody and Kuminga are this year, he’s integral to what we will do this year. Have faith Steph, CP3 and Draymond are the best vets Wiggins could have around him.
forepj
Didn't know GP2 had a son. CP3 is definitely the adult in the room on the second unit
Jeffy Jay
Not the Zion diet.. 🫣
OhSomeABeanLoadin
I bet the over on how many Zion fat jokes there was gonna be. I won big
Offtopic K
If Wiggins can get back to 2022 playoff mode… I’d confidently say we’re right there with pheonix and have a chance against Denver but I need Wiggins to be serviceable or Kuminga to be an almost all star by playoff time
james v
Bro you legit made me laugh out loud 4x in this one 😂
Kevin Weng
Dude I am so hyped for our rookies. They just look like they belong. They seem quick to make the right decisions on offense, move the ball, understand their role, defensively engaged and probably take pride in it. And my god Moody looks like he figured out his role as well! Shoot the open 3, one dribble pull up, dime, and defend!
Karim Q
Yeah remember how "clueless" this staff was on how to use Bogut, Speights, Zaza, and JaVale? Lol neither do I
gimmeaocmommymilkersnobuttigeg
Pells cheerleaders on Zion meal plan 😂😂
Offtopic K
Yeah I know when to admit when I was wrong.. you called it Alch.. Trayce is 10x the player Wiseman is 😭
James George
BBW Ros last game and thick dance team this game. NBA knows what a man like me wants. 🤣😂
Mikey H
They all look like they're having a blast out there. Big difference from last year
Tyler Durden
GP3 adds major intelligence and stability for a second unit that was needing and wanting this last year. TJD already NBA ready. What a steal. Expect only great things for this man. So happy to see the second unit thrive (thanks Chris). I have faith again. Glad to see Kerr allowing PnR in his system. PS This just points out the real value of an intelligent point guard when assembling a roster.
yoshi
He's still Baby T, they took away his 10th board after the game
Jimmy Ji
For whatever reason NBA has scheduled the New Orleans matchup on the 2nd half of a back-to-back the past two seasons so I think Kerr let Curry stay out there mainly for the fans because Curry missed both games in NO last year. If the Warriors make a deep playoff run, there's a good chance Mike Dunleavy Jr will win executive of the year.
A m a r Singg
Yeah i noticed that too. his perimeter defense is SO VALUABLE. they need him to regain that focus.
A m a r Singg
Yeah i'll give him 20 games. He's earned some trust for sure.
Russ
Moody ready for Klay/Wigs minutes. Draymond, damn it dude, stay within yourself, u can't pass like CP3, don't try to, stay simple, play clean, stop the Diva hero pass attempts. With JK we are going to have to accept that he's a bit of a knucklehead long term. Hopefully his athleticism will always make up for it because I'm becoming convinced that his making stupid plays is not going away. Watched Joran the Toole game last night, he tripped himself to the floor 5 times, that's 1.5 above his average. He will ruin that teams future, Unseld may need to bench him for a while to humble him. He's toxic, my guess Kuzma bitch slaps him before the Allstar break.
Crimson
I love the Saric/TJD lineup. Much better than just having Saric play at the 5, he's not really a center. TJD unfortunately had a rebound taken away, so no double double, but the performance was very good. We looking like we back.
Natto Santo
We are back and Wig will be okay, We could pick up Batum or Covington if they are available
Erin Laskey
We are definitely contenders if healthy, but i'm concerned Wiggs head not right
Brad30
My favorite thing about this team is how much the bench celebrates for eachother no matter who’s out there or what quarter it is, it brings backs strength in numbers vibes
Stevie Ray
The level of difficulty in the shots Steph hits and makes look effortless - so much is made of comparisons between generations - Can't imagine what he'd look like with a time machine before the perimeter was pressured and prioritized. This hot streak can't last all season, but this has to be one of most electrifying athletes to play in any sport. I will dearly miss when his prime finally concludes because there's simply nothing else in the league like this.
A m a r Singg
I remember when people used Wiseman to conclude that the coaching staff didn't know how to use bigs....lol. It's about feel and iq. Also, could definitely see TJD taking some of Kuminga's minutes vs bigger teams and if JK is in space cadet mode.
John
The biggest non shot Andrew issue is how bad he lets screens take him out. Review the tape.....he never anticipates the screen and it takes him way out of defense all the time lately
Sothea Ry
I always tell myself i'm concerned about Wiggs but then remember how he helped us win a chip cause he decided to wake the fuck up lol. I think wiggs will be himself in due time.
Edgy SC
This team feels special!
