Its hard to tank when Curry is putting up 40 point games and theyre winning...Only way to be ensure is restrict his minutes lol
They could've sat Curry over any of the small injuries he's picked up or been sidelined with this season and bundled up. Same with Dray.

They're trying to win. They're not good. And the FO is delusional too.

When they left the draft with both Wiggins and a top 3 pick, it was a rap. That's the start of a package that gets you damn near any available, non-cornerstone player in the league. Its bad enough they think they can still run with the best teams with that depleted roster. Even worse they think they can bring a rookie up to speed and win at the same time.

Steve Kerr just isn't the coach for this team anymore. You just can't leave Curry on the bench for the first 6 minutes of every fourth quarter and expect this team to win games.
Kerr could've brought him in a little bit earlier, but Steph ended up playing 37 minutes (he's already admitted that he prefers playing entire quarters to keep rhythm). If Steph needs to play 40 minutes every night for them to win, then it's less a coaching issue and more a personnel one.

That's fair. I'll say, as far as tonight, they missed a of open 3s and still had the lead going into the fourth. A better shooting night and maybe that win that game despite Kerr being late to bring Curry back in.

They may have the Minnesota pick to use... they might get Jalen Green on a rookie deal, Klay coming back, another year of Wiseman development... Steph is still great. Their defense this season has not been bad. They just don't have enough guys who can create their own shot or shots for others.

The pick is top 3 protected. Green isnt falling past 3rd

Warriors lost their thunder when Jerry West joined the Clippers

Whats that cocksuckers name who got offended by Mark Jackson...oh yeah Bob Myers, he lights years ahead he thinks his shyt dont stink but now he has half of the team that dont know how to win games. They better be trading these players next season if they still want to compete at the playoffs.
