Dubs need Klay back, he would help mitigate when defenses decide to let anybody but Steph beat them :francis:

nobody in the league, the history of the league even, gets guarded like he does. It's insane

Knicks ran a shading type defense with 3 defenders forcing him baseline. Unique look
One in the paint and 2 up top on the wing

Kuminga needs to play more minutes straight up. Dude is solid as fukk defensively and doesn't make any dumb mistakes offensively. There's no reason D lee should be getting minutes over him even in the 4th quarter.

There's been several times these past few games where we've struggled that I would have liked to see JK and Moody in, sh*t, if nothing is working try something different.

Kerr ain't coaching sh*t.

:troll:

Another ugly win....but still a historic night and the W.

:ahh:

Well said. Kuminga progressing and gaining confidence/experience in the regular season could pay dividends come playoff time

I love the ugly wins tbh cause thats what we will need to be able to grind out in the playoffs…especially against Phx who likes to slow down the pace and plays great defense

Who's going to be more pivotal in the playoffs is the main thing here.

This is why it's hard to contend for a title whilst simultaneously developing players, and really why you can't have the best of both worlds. Kuminga will be someone who comes in and provides defensive energy, but you can't really trust him to stretch the floor and play to all the principles of the offense like Lee can, in the postseason. Which is why he needs to be on the floor to figure this shyt out and work through the funk he's in, in order to be best prepared for the playoffs.

Otherwise, what's the point of him even being in the rotation?

Besides, all the role players shot poorly, that includes Poole and Wiggins. You can't bench everyone whose shots are off.

Honestly I think if you keep building on Kuminga's confidence this season he's more impactful in the playoffs than damion lee. Floor spacers are great, but it's not like the warriors don't have floor spacers elsewhere in steph, Klay, poole, OPJ, bjelica. What they don't have is an aggressive slasher that can go in the paint and get to the line. That should be wiggins, but you already know what it is :francis:
