Damn breh. Gotta let him shake the rust off firstHe been dead, brotha.
It's killing the team.
Top-5 starting lineups in the league:
Look at the gap between the Warriors and #2. And yet they have a 3-6 record to show for it.
Things could always be worse. At least it didnt happen during the playoffs last year
Also fukk Wiggins for missing that bunny when the Warriors were up 118-117 down the stretch. shyt was wide open, right at the rim, and it could've been what the Warriors needed to gain the upper-hand.
if its fukk wiseman...Kuminga and Poole should honestly be the 6th and 7th man.
i have no idea why Kuminga continues not to get minutes but i havent watched so cant speak too much on it
i trust yall judgment on Wiseman. I am willing to be patient but I am not married to him so if he really is as trash as yall say I would be fine trading him for somebody who wont be an experiment and can contribute immediately
If the Warriors were hovering around .500 then i wouldnt have an issue but they cant be losing games to Detroit and Orlando

The issue for them is he’s giving them absolutely nothing. Other players have been inconsistent he’s been atrocious
Not only do they abandon their offense when he’s on the court they have to steady cover for him. You can get away with doing that for wings not your center
This team remaining contenders this year was heavily predicated on Wiseman taking that next step. I’m not even saying he’s the only reason but considering they expected him to play a huge part you can understand the fan’s frustration
Starters got cooked down the stretch too.
Your hate for Draymond knows no bounds
It may or may not be related to Draymond, but they're not 3-6 because nothing is going on. Poole has been trash to start the season. Did anything happen with him?
Kuminga being completely out of the rotation is mind boggling. All that kid did last season was play with energy and bring it every time he stepped on the court. Young players want to be out there and prove themselves. When they don't get a chance, it's gonna have a negative effect on them.
They need to figure out what they're doing with those guys quick. If they aren't gonna be part of the rotation, ship them out now and get some vets Kerr trusts.
Who expected that out of him? Kid hadn't played competitive basketball in a year+ y'all set yourselves up putting those expectations on him this soon.

The big disappointment is Poole to me. He's supposed to be at least carrying the second unit offensively but he's been bad on offense and horrible on defense. The second unit can't stay in front of anybody and Wiseman doesn't know what position he should be in to help. Focusing on trying to get Wiseman and Poole going on the second unit is leaving the rest of the second unit standing around. Everyone on the second unit is either really young or new to the system so there is hope of them developing more chemistry and improving but they are being thrown to the fire and costing the Warriors games.

The Warriors expected him to contribute. That’s noticeable with how they’ve been playing him early this season
It seems the last 3 games the staff has started to ease up realizing he may not be it
You can’t tell me you see a competent player when you watch him

JP will look much better if you replace wiseman with JK
Idk how else to put it, man.
He has absolutely zero feel for what’s going on. And the warriors CATER their offense to him when he’s in the game.

That entire second unit has been garbage on defense and can't keep anyone out of the paint. I wonder what the numbers are when he plays with the starters.
10 minutes*.
Him being the main cause of their issues doesn't mean that other players don't need to be more consistent too. But we have a point of reference with players like Klay, where we know they're capable of being positive contributors, but the same can't be said for Wiseman.
This is the same thing that happened during his rookie season where he'd drown every single lineup he was in:
The exact same thing is occuring this season, where he's killing 99% of the lineups he's in. I couldn't fathom how that was possible during his rookie season, and we're witnessing it all over again this year.
