if Kuminga is dealt, has to be someone who can get to the rim or to the line


Steph just needs something better.


Agreed. And if there's a trade for Lauri/Bridges, paired with using whatever MLE is available (or the CP3 contract) to acquire a downhill scorer, likely one who was overpaid by their franchise because they scored in an aesthetically pleasing way... well then thats a solid plan. Otherwise the opposing team has no reason not to crowd our good shooters

And that's why we don't want dray up top with jk and steph having to defend the paint. Both guys stuck guarding no one.

Steph just needs something better. This team ain't it if they're serious about contending next season.

Steph needs to be better. He's been lousy on both sides of the court tonight, but particularly on defense. Murray has cooked him on ball and he's getting caught in no man's land off ball.

We've seen this team given multiple chances this year to gain some kind of traction onto the standings and they can't get it done because they're just not good enough. Still gonna be a fun season to watch the young players hopefully develop but this team doesn't have it.

JK forced Jokic to get rid of the ball on the roll. He did his job. Steph just didn't have it tonight on either side of the court.

If Moody took klay, saric, or jk minutes in the 2h. We might have had a chance, definitely not any worse.

Denver is not even trying. If we can't find a center who can play with dray Why did not we go for a trade earlier? It makes no sense to only play the 2nd best player Draymond 28 mins a night. Steve Kerr should have sit Curry for this one.

I agree. But at the end of the day, he's still the only reason Warriors have any shot of contending in the future. It's about putting the right team around him this off season.

17 TOs aint going to cut it. This current iteration of the warriors have a very little margin for error to win tough games, more than 10 Turnovers is just bad. Team was just throwing the ball away

He has one in tjd. But if u play tjd and dray, it means you can't play jk. So you give up offense for defense and rebounding which is a trade I'd make, but kerr never will.

And JK is one of those guys. Podz had a bad night too. What we need is for Klay not to disappear against starters but that seems to be who he is now. He's a gunner off the bench but a crunch time shooter he is not anymore.

Just not Moody.

This is still my biggest frustration with Kerr. Moody profiles as a very useful player for us but Kerr won't commit to letting him figure it out on the court like he allowed(was shamed rather) Kuminga to.

Kerr made some poor rotation choices tonight that cost them as much as stephs poor play.
