The way Kerr avoids blame is by owning it first. That’s nice, he’s a NICE guy. But a BAD COACH. I actually agree with skipping practice, but because I think we should TANK. SAVE Steph. This whole squad is a pick-up team that’ll be gone next year. Replaced by equally bad choices. Getting so sick of bad management, bad coaching, mediocre players. Light years ahead My Ass. Just look at the standings fool.

Great great breakdown! Many laughs had. They should rest Steph on Thursday this week. Rest Draymond and Loon too. We need the Wolves to win that game ;)

Athletic Alchemy

Valid! But against who too?

Julian

Alch, since Wiseman went down. Warriors are 1st in def rating, 2nd in off rating, and 1st in net rating. Make that I think 12 games.

Alex deB

Yeah but think about this. Those close games the warriors coughed up. Like both wizards games, Celtics, Charlotte, and the Mavs game Curry dropped 57pts in, we’d be ahead of LA! In the 4-5th seed. Curry would have his 3rd MVP about on lock and the warriors would be sitting pretty. Ironic, should have been.

Kevin Chan

We won 8 out of last 10 or something and somehow we still at 10th seed, just shows how competitive this conference is and how bad our record was with Wiseman starting. However, I’m taking a look at our schedule and tbh they all seem like very winnable games, even the ones against Sun and Jazz because they will likely be taking it easy. On a side note, I didn’t realise how fucking long Halliburton is until he extends at the rim, that shit is impossible to block lol

Jansen E

What's the point of getting these 10 day contracts to "experiment" with a player, only to give them <60 seconds of actual game minutes in garbage time, or give them actual meaningful means, THEN THEY PERFORM WELL, only to pull them off the court never to see the floor ever again. We didn't lose this game. That's good. But honestly we we're lucky as hell. Are we really gonna start Mulder against Luka only for him to pick up 4 fouls before the 8 minute mark of the first quarter? Kerr really knows how to get under fans skin man. Mulder had a good 2nd half and kept us afloat. I'll give him that. But he canNOT be our go-to after Steph, they're on the court together.

😁

Athletic Alchemy

Well when you put it like that! .. nah it true playing well at the right time

Athletic Alchemy

That’s a good point it has been that way since they were forced small. They might have to choose between the two for tax reasons moving forward. GP2 is obviously much more of a right now player

Stevie Ray

Because the of the contracts, its not equal value

Russ

With Wiseman out our Offensive rebounding has skyrocketed. Keep bringing it to the Glass, during our recent run that's the biggest change. And I agree that GP2 has moved well ahead of Nico now, and I think with the way Kerr values defense, he's staying ahead of Nico baring injury.

We have now won 8 of 11, beat the Sixers, beat the nuggets twice and took a celtics team that was on fire at the time to the wire. Yes this was an ugly ass game but we won. A win is a win and there is 0 possibility that we win a game like this 2 months ago. We are playing much improved basketball, the offense is looking cohesive and hell we are actually outrebounding teams, which just seems weird lol

David A.

"Are they clowning his ups or are they really just foreign?' That is a jewel right there.

Paradox

Probably Barnes right now. Wiggins can provide good 1 on 1 defense but his scoring efficiency leaves much to be desired.

Shea Johnson

Haliburton for Wiseman straight up makes so much sense for both teams. Sac is never gonna climb out of mediocrity with Hali as their "guy" because Hali isn't a guy with an unreal ceiling, he's great, but he's not gonna carry a bad team to the promised land. Wiseman has the potential to do that for them, and for the warriors, they get a young kid that plays like a vet with a great feel for the game.

Jimmy Ji

Barnes or Wiggins in terms of value?

Ezra Abbey

wigs passing has improved a lot since hes joined us, him and kelly are developing a nice little chemistry.

Ezra Abbey

hes become underrated dudes a bucket. hes quietly become a great isolation scorer.

Ezra Abbey

bro really said steph should miss the last free throw so they dont get a shot up instead of being up four points

Kahlil Baker

I saw the ending of the game, I was thinking down two with the game on the line. I’m giving the ball to Tyrese. I dont know what it is about Barnes maybe I think back to his GSW days but I don’t think he’s clutch🤷🏾‍♂️

Athletic Alchemy

yeah I was thinking if at some point they stop chasing with the Pels so far in the rear view and just rest Steph up for the tourney health over seeding

Athletic Alchemy

I see some defensive pride in him.. he just needs experience so he can better anticipate. right now everything is reactionary

Jacob

Turned this one off at halftime can’t lie. Shit was ugly. Looking like we’ll be sitting in 9/10 seed for the play in. I’d give them till 3 games left and if we ain’t within 1 game of the 7/8 spot wiggs dray and steph are sitting 2 of the last 3.

Athletic Alchemy

how bout a GP2 special assignment to start.. just to annoy Luka and disrupt his rhythm early

Athletic Alchemy

JTA is who we think he is. but the fear is you pay him and is he still that extra effort guy?

Jerry Heverly

I still think Poole is the second coming of Lou Williams. Some nights he is the difference maker with a flurry of buckets; other nights he provides buckets for the other team. Williams seems never to have been bothered by his defensive lapses so he never improved. Poole? Will Ron Adams get to him? Or is he content to be the mad bomber who leaves his jock strap on the court nightly?

A m a r Singg

He's a REALLY good coach and he's proving that this season. He's a really good coach with TERRIBLE late game mgmt, it's his big weakness. No coach is perfect. It's also a weakness for Curry as well btw.

Honestly i dont like shitting on kerr but his late game mgt is terrible. Kerr is just a bad coach period

Toulivinho

I Think Kerr doesnt care about massaging Oubres feelings, he gon do what he thinks is right, and rn its Oubre coming off the bench. I like it tho, u dont always have to make decisions based on how this might affect the off season or not, and if KO aint cool with playing 25-30 min off the bench then he just might not be the guy for next season.

Anthony Gray

the 1st mistake is making curry play so much off the ball in clutch time. Its really weird. in philly it was steph x dray pnr and the results were glorious. my eyes tell me even when steph gets trapped out of pnr we almost always generate a quality look. If we going down go out with your best stuff!

Slurpy

Fitz was in rare form last night

Kerr better not start mulder against mavs cos luka will just eat him alive. Mulder and poole are black holes on defense

richard phan

do you think dubs are trying to condition KO into a bench role so he'll be more accepting to it in the offseaon then resign with us?

Natto Santo

Steph's long range bombs are just the most beautiful things to watch in the league. And I concurred with you that next year we should get Holmes, this kid is solid and durable.

Thomas Joseph

Lmao 😂

A discussion needs to be made about our team in the clutch...lol...like i always prepare myself for a run of the opposing team or dumb mistakes...

Thomas Joseph

No such thing as a bad win Alc I'll take it

Steven Stanley

My wife said the next morning, did they win? I said, well they didn't lose.... the Kings saw to that.

Steve

JTA is a goddamn player. He wants to stay in the bay, get it done Lacob. 3 years, $12 or $13m seems reasonable and JTA deserves a solid little contract that'll let him retire off of it when he's done in the league.

Athletic Alchemy

let me see if I can work some into a pod. In short I want lance ... But I dont have the time to really deep dive into the prospects thats just form 2nd hand info
