Holy Cannoli! We’re On The Strive For Five! The Dynasty Rolls On! Golden State Warriors 2022-23 Season Thread

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

If Steph and Wiggins were healthy, and they traded that #2 pick for Marcus Smart and the Celtics pick (drafting Isaiah Stewart), and then put all their resources into having proper depth, we wouldn't even be having this conversation right now.

The Warriors would be still the best team in the league.

Two role players of Smart's and Stewart's ability would've transformed this team, but here we are......

He can be amazingly bad (in your eyes, not mine) but he’s 22 with an awful coach who can’t develop him.

Draymond Green is paid to be a game changing player, and he does absolutely nothing of note without Steph Curry. Where’s the smoke for him?

Do you think Wiseman’s play is more coaching or he is just bad?

As a top 3 pick what do you project his future? Typically even with a bad coach a star will at least show glimpses

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Wiseman has had an infinite amount of different development coaches try to coach him up (who've spent months and months with him away from the main team), but yet it's Kerr's fault he doesn't know how to play.

Goofy ass nxggas don't even realize head coaches aren't even the main ones to develop young players. They've got specialized staff for that. Head coaches don't have time to waste on players who can't even screen properly.

bassed on what everyone saying i would say the latter, i think he got by on being bigger and more athletic than everyone in HS

then due to the nCaa scandal on top of penny being a pretty bleh coach his growth/understanding of the game was stunted for too much at memphis

by the time you get to the nba youre already behind. add 2 years of injury issues and poof, hes too far gone

to be honest, in the little he played during his rookie year he looked decent (based on admittedly faint memories). that was an anomaly season with no fans though.

I think on a different team he looks better. The Warriors (Steph Curry) offense is based on bigs setting screens. It’s not offense to feature or develop a big man that’s athletic or used to having the ball.

The Warriors don’t develop players individually; they shape them to do what they want them to do. That will work if you’re a hard work guy with no talent like Looney, but it hinders someone like Wiseman.

If he stays with the Warriors he will end up like Marvin Bagley. If he gets to a different team he can be an every night starter.

It doesn’t work because they’re trying to develop him to be a screen setting split action dummy, instead of a dominant big man.

Same reason why the team can’t win a game without Steph Curry. Their young guys aren’t being developed to maximize their potential. Kerr can only coach one way.

You don't even know what the fukk you're talking about. Please stop, for your own good. Own your mistakes. Nobody is interested in your bullshyt.

You've been had an agenda against Kerr though.

He took this bullshyt ass roster to a championship last season. The system he instilled turned Wiggins into a winning player. The system he instilled has allowed Draymond to be as effective as he is on offense (he wouldn't on any other team, to the same degree). Nearly every single player that has come through GS over the last 7-8 has played career-best hoops.

Steph played in that loss against the Hornets
Steph played in that loss against the Magic
Steph played in that loss against the Pistons
They haven't played the Wizards this season.

What would you have like Kerr do given Steph and Wiggins (two key starters) have been out over this stretch? Turn back time to when Klay wasn't a shell of his former self? Turn back time to when Dray's not at the end of his prime? Give Looney two proper functioning hips and an offensive game?

The system/coaching has made the most out of this group. The roster is the problem - can you not see this?

The main core is at the end of its days and it can't be expected they just win like they used to without proper help. I mean, they still have statistically the best starting lineup this season (does Kerr not deserve credit for that?), it's been the lack of appropriate depth that has been their downfall. Is it Kerr's fault the organization hasn't scouted and signed the best available talent? Is it Kerr's fault that he wanted Haliburton and they took Wiseman?

Why is it Ty Lue can win with rookies, second year guys, castaways or basically anyone thrown out there (due to injuries), but Kerr can’t compete with championship level players (according to you)?

You have no rebuttal because you’re a casual Steve Kerr simp. Steve Kerr will have 100 losses without Steph Curry by Martin Luther King day. Happy Kwanzaa, my brother. Enjoy the play-in game.

Your bullshyt speaks for itself.

I've just exposed you lying for the 100000th time and you chose to ignore it. This is par for the course with you. You bullshyt because you don't know what you're talking about and then you lie to cover it up, and then you deflect to cover it up some more.

I don't want any of your well wishes because you'll just jinx me into bad fortune.

It's funny. Just watched a video with Gilbert Arenas and Rashad McCants talking about exactly this. Got it timestamped.

They’re talking that talk. The Warriors have never been good at the 4/5 spot and it’s not because they haven’t had talented guys. They just don’t maximize what they’re good at because Kerr is inept.

@Gil Scott-Heroin knows more than former NBA players though of course.

Talented guys like Eric Paschall who you said would be an All-Star and is now out of the league? Talented guys like James Wiseman who you said would be a superstar and he can't even dominate G-League games? Talented guys like Damien Jones who's at the end of the Lakers bench? Talented guys like Jordan Bell who's out of the league? Talented guys like Festus Ezeli who's career only lasted three years?



They won a title last season with Dray (who you believe is the worst player in the league) and Looney, and you're talking this nonsense.
