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

Now this is the klay that I know. He's back to his true self after the 42 points game

Don't fall for @Squirrel from Meteor Man's bullshyt.

Half of those losses came in 2020 when they had that G-League team out there (they lost 50 games that season), not to mention all the games when Steph, Dray and Klay all didn't play - not just Steph. That stat doesn't take into account when other starters are missing too. They've actually had 7-7 record without Steph (post-shoulder injury) this season, so they've been managed to hold it down without him, even with all the limitations and holes in their squad.

You can’t explain away the numbers. If Curry isn’t on the floor, the probability is that the Warriors are going to get their ass whooped.

If anyone is a gambling man, they’d make a good mint betting against Kerr if Steph isn’t out there

Bringing up a 7-7 record beating teams who are also injured or tanking (Grizzlies aside) is fraudulent and just avoiding the issue at hand

It’s crazy because lacob is ending up just like the owners folk say are a detriment to their teams.. Instead of being a hands off owner you want to be hands on and completely fukking up the product..

It’s crazy we had the #2 pick and just let him go for basically nothing… Literally only a 3 game college sample and nothing else and you bank your pick on that shyt when it was guys that you literally had multiple tapes on you could have taken not named Ant Edwards…

When Steph hang up his shoes lacob better give Steph the team to own.. Took the dubs from shyt to sugar literally

Have you seen how bad that draft class is? Anybody outside Melo and Haliburton (not including Ant) in top in the top 20 would have deemed a flop at #2. That’s having revionist history as even Minnesota was rumored to not have initially been confident with Ant.

The Warriors need a another big. Getting Payton back was pivotal for their perimeter defense, but he won't be ready until April/May because of the abdomen issue if they decide to go through with the trade. They need to target a big like Nerlens Noel if he is bought out by the Pistons. He can run the floor, block shots, get rebounds, interior scoring here and there. Putting Dray at the 5 is wearing him down, and exposing holes from other guys on defense.

Bro what are you talking about? Go back and look at the names on that 2020 first round draft class who’s actually getting run on their teams.. I’m not even talking about those who turned into all stars just the names who are actually contributing

Part of it is Wiseman's fault for always being hurt. But two things hurt him too. Being on a win now team and being on a team with a dedicated system that he doesn't fit into. So rather than being able to get force fed the minutes and the ball to test out his game and really find himself he's been turned into trying to replicate Looney's game which isn't his skillset at all. The factor everybody leaves out in the lack of development of the young guys is Jordan Poole being so bad early in the season. That was a huge part of their losing and why they lost that margin of error. He's still really a SG and that second unit needed a floor general that can organize things which is why they looked better when Draymond started playing more with them.

I blame Penny Hardaway for not having him developed properly with a big man coach

That's on the NCAA more than Penny as initially they were told that Wiseman wasn't going to be punished at all until a right before the season start.

been saying for years Myles Turner is the perfect 5 for GS system

Shameless.

listen

no matter what SYSTEM or or TEAM wiseman is on, he will have to know the fundamentals of basketball. He will have to set screens, he will have to rebound, he will have to defend. Those things don't change no matter what. The issue is, Wiseman doesn't do ANY of those things well. The defense part is extremely important

he may very well put up numbers with post play and put up decent counting stats, but the terrible defense is still there.

Good luck, he’s been rehabbing since the offseason
