Kerr has some decisions for this final stretch run.

Like I said earlier, TJD needs to start with Draymond playing less at the 5.

Good to see him vocally supporting the Trayce/Green duo up front.

Who do you send to the bench? That's the problem.

Klay?
Jk?
Wiggins?

If kerr has to choose between klay/jk vs wiggins/moody, hes taking klay/jk 10/10. Not because it's better, but because it's easier.

Yes unfortunately.

I don’t think that’s the choice he will have to make as I don’t believe TJD is a playoff starting Center. Ideally you’d want him matched up against backup C’s. He’d just get bullied by Jokic, Davis, Sabonis, Gobert and Nerkic. Even Zubac will give him troubles.

Kuminga should be starting and Wiggins should continue to play the way he is now, god knows he owes the team. That alone should alleviate a lot of problems. If we can somehow keep Klay to sensible shots in a bench role that would be an ice cream crushing cherry on top.

One of their best all around games in a while.

And YES...this team looks a **** ton better with Moody and other's in for Klay. The team is way faster, better defensively....and you don't lose anything with Moody shooting instead of Klay.

In the playoffs it's different. That's when Draymond should be starting at the 5. At least in some games. I just find him starting at the 5 and spending significant minutes there during the regular season a recipe for disaster if we do it again next year.

You are confusing the subject of the joke with the target of the joke. Very common theses days.

TJD had a great game and he is a great pick. Warriors desperately needed a good big.
Looney was the only one and this year he took a step back (hope he finds his good self).
TJD is athletic but furthermore he has also good finishes.

Moody had a good game too.

If we win the game against Spurs, I think it may be possible to get the 8th seed but let's first assure the presence in play-in

There is a ladder of quality. The top tier teams are beatable only with perfect Warriors rotation (see my Rotation 101 thread). Coaching staff spent too much time kidding themselves.

Yea there are some matchups that jk will be better and others that tjd will be better at. The issue is that Kerr wants to just throw the same 5 out regardless of matchups.

If you think making jokes about domestic violence is funny, you have bigger problems.
I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

Don't be a knob Evan.

Nobody is making fun of domestic violence.

The joke was aimed at Bridges BECAUSE he is a woman basher. It's not that hard to work out... unless of course you just want to be offended.
