I cant even say who is the biggest problem on this team (Kerr, Paul, Wiggs, Klay, Green, Kuminga). A Coach would be w/o job in standart situation, but he is Kerr the smartest guy in the room...

Klay is well past his prime and he was never a true 2nd option to begin with. A true 2nd option can take over a team temporarily. Klay was never that guy. Pippen could, Wade could, Irving could.... Klay isn't one of those guys.

Kuminga has always sucked. He's just not a baller.

Green has always been a jackass and this is his 7th year in decline (peaked in 2016).

The rest of the team is fine, but they need a real 2nd scoring option if they want to have a chance. Poole was that guy for a moment and they won a ring. They need a 2nd guy that can put the ball on the floor and score 20.

I still think they sort of get it together by the end of the year. I think they will be a semi dangerous team in the play in.

They might be able to win some payoff games if they make it. Not exactly what you want to hear when you have Stephen Curry averaging 29/5/5 on 48/43/93 shooting. This team is pretty trash. No big men and Klay Thompson is toast. Now Draymond threw us a curve ball because he's now declining quicker mentally than he's declining physically.

Klay averaged 26.4,3 on .615ts and a +122 w/o Steph in playoffs. 9-3 record too.

That looks like a great 2nd option to me. Warriors Aka Steph fanboys still doing what they can to discredit Klay when hes cooked and not player he was in his prime is NASTY work. Nasty......you should be ashamed and show more respect to the man who guarded all the top guards and tough assignments for your boy while he hid on defense :wavefinger: :wavefinger:

He's 52-69 without Curry (29-52 without KD & Curry) and he averages 20/3/2 on 44% shooting with a -69 +/-. Those playoff games were also early rounds and he played the majority with KD.

Yeah, he's had some big games. He's also completely disappeared when teams lock in on him. 2nd options can put the ball on the floor. I've always said he's an elite and GOAT level 3rd option. Just not a 2nd option. That's why he's not top 75.

How much of that came with KD though when he was still a second option?

He had nice stats in 2016 PO when Curry was injured in 8 games period (27pts on .610Ts), but he wasnt the 1st option :D

Green .450/.425/.650 10.5r 7.4a 1.3s 1.9b 2.3t 17.9pts +137

2016 PO

Klay w/o Green/Curry -11.85nrtg 102.83ortg
Green w/o Klay/Curry +35.83nrtg 123.71ortg

It's easier to have a meaningful conversation here than it is on the GB about the actual basketball being played. So... Draymond. Indefensible cheap shot on Nurk. If he gets only a 5-game suspension, I'll be surprised. I could see 10-15.

I'm especially frustrated by the cheap shot because Draymond has been playing quite well. The Warriors' roster is deeply flawed. A lot of those flaws are downstream effects of Klay and Wiggins shooting like prime Keith Bogans and being unable to convert 2P FG%. Kerr's recent trend towards more minutes for Podziemski and Moody at the expense of Klay and Wiggins is a good thing until one of Klay/Wiggs can re-asser themselves and provide positive value. That makes Draymond's looming suspension all the more frustrating.

Draymond being on the court ties together the Warriors' defense so well when we have smart and attentive defensive players on the court. Right now neither Klay or Wiggins are attentive or alert on defense because they are so deep in their slumps that it's clearly affecting everything they do on the court. Draymond is getting suspended at a key moment in the season where it seems like Kerr has finally decided he just needs to play whoever is playing well, politics be damned. On top of that, Draymond has been in the midst of his best offensive season since 15-16. He's been an aggressive shot-maker and is shooting well-above league-average from three. And all for naught now that he decided to hit Nurk for no reason. Awful.

Hahahahahaha

From the highs of 2015 and the Kyrie/Love injuries, to the Kevin Durant signing all the way down to this. Could be the end of the road for the Curry era as we know it.

For his career Klay is sub-40% from 3 and below league average TS% when Curry isn’t playing. He owes Curry big time for his rep as the 2nd greatest shooter of all time.
