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

[Numpsay]

We should be beating these Lakers. Even with the refs. We're the better team...ON PAPER.

There's a hundred things that can be said about the team, individual players, the coaches, and executives.

But the main thing is this is the SAME TEAM we've watched all year.

The most important thing is, all year we blew leads and lost so many close games. Very un-champ like.

And we've been doing it again in the offs.

There is no switch.

How you play during the regular season creates the habits that take over when you're tired or in clutch situations.

We didn't take the RS serious enough, and now we're reaping what we've sewed.

Y'all aren't the better team on paper though. No one to guard Bron or AD. Hard to beat a team when you essentially have to send doubles at two guys. Only advantage the Warriors have is Curry. Lakers are really just a bad matchup for the Warriors.

Additionally wtf did Poole work on in the off-season besides those dribble moves that don't even work in the game. Needs to shoot a thousand jumpers a day this summer and work on not showing the ball too soon when driving to the rim. I know y'all ready to give up on him already but I think he can return to last year's form if he puts the right work in.

I think the relationship between Poole and the Warriors is toxic as fukk and the way their cap is set up they can’t risk him not getting right.

You guys need to get Curry a true second option and Kerr (or whoever is coach) needs to give Moody a much bigger role next season.

sure that would help. but we really need to get more useful players. versatile guys. This roster is so damn anemic, Myers and Lacob put a 2k roster together like that works in real life.

 

[Don Homer]

Wiggins trade worked out when no one else wanted him. They don’t win the trophy without Wiggins . And the Otto Porter signing worked out real good. He hits here and there. I won’t fault him for those 1st round pick selections. He found GP2

he found GP2, then let him walk, then traded assets to get him back when he could've retained him

and idk what was going thru his head in the 2020 season and in 2021. He's lucky steph broke his hand in 2020. Because what was put around him was absolute garbage.
-Ky Bowman
-Glen Robinson III
-Eric Paschall
-Alen Smailagic
-Marquese Chriss
-Dragan Bender
-Mychal Mulder
-Willie Cauley-Stein

And 2021 was also a some bull:
-Mychal Mulder
-Brad Wannamaker
-Nico Mannion
-Kelly Oubre (spent 80 million dollars for one season of this guy, and let him walk for nothing)
-James Wiseman
-Kent Bazemore

if the FO was CONSISTENTLY good, they'd be in a good position. But their ineptitude is catching up to them. They've really only done their job 1 time out of the last 4 seasons. They misused draft capital and spent money unintelligently

Blow it up


Only Draymond and Steph should be untouchable players on this roster

This is a heavily flawed team. They were counting on the young players including Poole to take a leap but neither have done so and instead in the case of Poole has regressed considerably.

Why do you keep saying this as if Draymond hasn't limited AD and Bron has been kept in check for large parts of this series?

The defining factor of this series has been depth. Lakers have it and the Warriors don't.

Not only has Poole not provided anything, but he's actually been a complete detriment. Even an league-average guard in his place and it'd at least be a 2-2 tied series and the conversation around how this series is going would be to the contrary.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

They were still losing throughout though. It was inexcusable for Lamb and Jerome to be getting minutes over Moody and Kuminga.

What was really inexcusable is that the organization forced them into two timelines. Moody and and Kuminga weren't given a longer leash because of how much wasted time and resources they put into Wiseman. They couldn't just keep going down that path ticking off what youngsters could contribute.

We wouldn't even be talking about this rn if your bum ass mans Poole showed up in this series.

You know that's the real issue here in this series.

If the Warriors could man up on Bron and AD all game and everyone else could stay attached to their man they'd be winning this series. Yes Draymond has been the primary defender but they are shading towards AD, same with Bron, especially when he goes in the post. It's what is leading to the open shots for the others(depth). Just looks to me like the Lakers have it a whole of a lot easier on offense than the Warriors due sans Curry.

 

[Ohene]

As much as Poole’s been getting slandered (rightfully deserved) we need to have a conversation about Klay. He's literally becoming Danny Green with a Kobe shot tendency. Those shots are all I think about from the game. The first one is terrible and the second one is “Homer Simpson strangling Bart esque”.

iunno

hes been good at times this year so its disappointing
i know he still has sumn left in the tank

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

Who the fukk wants that injury prone cac
That’s not winning shyt
Poole, Klay and Backpack can get gone
Looney, Moody, GP2 and Wiggins
Are non negotiable outside of Steph
I would say keep Minga but Kerr treating him like Wiseman
I would rather him go somewhere and rumble, young man rumble
And get some vets or nikkas with something to prove
And Jack Harlow Vincenzo can get gone too
And it might be time for Kerr to kick rocks too

Too late, cac

this might get us to game 7…. Let’s see because he’s not called out the officials but the actual players doing it.. pretty smart move
