Kerr said he’s tryna watch Steph’s mins early in the season.
And again, we win this if we stop fukking up at home

reminds me of 2019 where we fukked up so many home games, including a 31-pt blown lead to the clippers

I thought he said they were chasing wins this year :francis:

They're going to have to find ways to play Bjeli more minutes. He's the only one other than Steph and Dray who can create plays for himself and the team. But the problem is, he needs a defensive [versatile] big next to him, and Draymond's the only one who fits that billing. Otherwise, they just leak too many points on defense with him out there.

Steph played 35-36 minutes at the end of regulation. Do you really want him playing more minutes than that in October, especially given the fact he's already feeling the effects of that mileage already, hence his ineffective performances in the 4th quarters (scoreless in four-straight games)?

You've got to remember he's in his mid-30s, he's not young anymore. Burning him out this early in the season doesn't do anybody any good.

True, he got cooked badly on the switch a couple times in the OKC game and only played 8 mins as a result. I like his game but defensively you have to be very careful with him out there.

Draymond has to give us 10pts a game. You just can't have more turnovers than points in any game. :mjcry:

He definitely needs to look to score more. He was good offensively in the first half, being aggressive, driving, and dishing, but then he resorted to force-feeding Steph the ball, instead of opening the game up for others and letting the offense flow naturally. That's when the offense fell apart. Apart from a couple bad turnovers in the second half, I can't be too hard on him, as at least he was trying to make things happen. Wiggins, on the other hand, was content on loitering out on the perimeter, not demanding the ball, not screening for others and not cutting to the rim.

Wiggins' lack of activity fukks up Steph and Draymond because the offense is simply comprised of actions that have to involve both of them, otherwise, the offense comes to a grinding halt. It's half the reason why they both turn the ball over, because there's nobody else out there to share the load with. And then you add Poole into the mix, who runs around like a chicken with his head cut off, which exacerbates the issues on offense anymore.

If Steph and Draymond just had another player to step up, who was consistent, there wouldn't be all these turnovers.

Poole...sheesh.

he aint there yet smh. If he's not scoring, then he's damn near useless between turnovers and constant defensive lapses :francis:

team looking like last season, where no1 can score. IDK if that's bc the league has 100% caught on to what the warriors wanna do or what at this point

it happened a million times last night

Steph is doubled-->steph passes it to Dray/Loon-->(dealing w/ a 4-on-3 situation) draymond/looney wont be a threat to score-->Looney/Dray try and do a DHO, but in that time, memphis has recovered so we didnt take advantage of the 4-on-3
