Kings playing smart basketball and Mike Brown outcoaching Kerr was what shined through last night.

The rest of the league needs to look at how we covered Steph. There were a few times where guys didn't communicate on the switch so he was left wide open, but, for the most part we had him.

The Warriors had very good defensive schemes they went away from. Once they cut down on turnovers they'll be aight. Staggering the bench with the starters is a good way to run the team, they did well tonight.

The better team won though

If Myers and Lacob acknowledge the writing on the wall (that’s been staring at them this whole cotdamn time) and do what’s right, the Warriors will be fine.

They’ve got the assets, so now it’s up to them to do something creative to rectify their mistake.

I keep hearing the warriors will figure it out but they are capped out and this is the team they have. Their young players suck except poole. You will get nothing substantial for klay or draymond

Steph is playing way to much minutes at his age

Kuminga > Poole

meh kuminga hasn't shown me anything

wiseman can't even get off the bench anymore

Kuminga is ready to play on both sides of the ball even with the absolutely zero consistent run given to him by Kerr. He has a decent mid-range, but has the size to bully anyone smaller than him. Elite Athleticism, can move his feet, and has the wingspan to be a menace on defense.

Poole is streaky as fukk with zero consistentency. Over dribbles and takes long contested shots instead of attacking. Zero defensive acumen or ability, Wolverine special @smitty22

That trying to run two timelines [OG core and the young guys] was never the move. Straight spitting in the face of Steph, taking him for granted like that (it's not fair to Dray and Klay either). They have to acknowledge they fukked up and make this right by making trades to fix the team.

I agree I don't know why they tried to move away from what was working, stack the bench full of quality vets iggy (38), damion lee (29), porter jr (28), bjelica (33)
and then have a few young guys poole/kuminga etc.

but Now the only guy on the bench whose over 25 is jamaycal green, and you can't trust these dudes just not good enough

What would the Warriors be looking for in a trade? And who are they willing to give up?

They need bigs, consistent vets, but their youngins killing their trade value with inconsistent play. Draymond and Klay aren't movable at this point.
