I'm not spinning, I'm just raising the possibility that sometimes good things can ultimately result from bad situations, bad behavior. These guys have been playing a lot of basketball for a lot of years now, having a break from basketball is not a bad idea.
If Draymond could still play defense half as well as you are defending him the team might actually benefit from him returning...
Warriors' defensive rating cratered while he was out. Coincidence?
My guess is he’ll play 25 minutes +, with the worst lineup imaginable.Onus wrote:Dray back Monday. So back to 10 min for jk?
sonnyhill wrote:Some interesting Draymond Green observations and statistics from yesterday evening's Laker game:
With Green on the floor against the Lakers, the Warriors were a plus-31; in the 12-minutes when Green sat, the Warriors were a minus-32. James and Davis dominated the Warriors' defense without Green on the floor; and the Warrior offense stagnated without Green playing center and facilitating the offense as another ballhandler-passer.
Green starting as the team's undersized center (fits into the Kerr narrative of Kerr not able to incorporate a big man into his lineups), has allowed for both Wiggins and Kuminga to thrive while playing together for the first time this season.
A frontcourt of Wiggins, Kuminga and Green does give the Warriors a more cohesive defense that might be able to better mask Curry's pathetic attempts to feign wanting to play defense and Thompson's erosion of lateral movement.
Also, Green unlocks Curry on offense.
It is quite impressive seeing an undersized Green able to slow down both James and Davis, something that nobody else on the Warriors seem to be unable to do.
Last night Kerr said that the Steph Klay Draymond JK Wiggins lineup was our best, and that he wanted to see a lot more of it.SpreeChokeJob wrote:sonnyhill wrote:Some interesting Draymond Green observations and statistics from yesterday evening's Laker game:

It helps to have Kuminga and Wiggins playing alongside him. That is obvious. The next obvious thing is to replace Klay with Moody or Saric in the starting lineup. I at least want to see that. Moody should fix all of Klay’s defensive deficiencies and Saric can at least pretend to be a big next to Green. The clock is ticking and missing the playin is a real possibility, so I appreciate if Kerr stops messing around.

So it will be awhile before Klay’s minutes are cut.

It is quite alarming to see how Kerr would rather have the team sink down "to Davy Jones's locker" instead of adding a more-athletic Moody in place Thompson into the starting lineup.
Who else on this board cringed watching Thompson with James as his defensive assignment? All because Thompson cannot keep up defensively with guards...
This Kerr-coached team is a defensive abomination.

I don’t envy Kerr’s position. In terms of stubbornness Klay and Kerr are the stubborn brothers. Kerr also has to manage the locker room, but what’s right is right and winning will cure all bad feelings. It’s better than what’s happening now. Curry is giving his heart and he was in the zone of hyperfocus yesterday night. It’s not right to waste his effort because some people’s egos might get hurt.
This team still won’t win a championship, but at least they will make some noise if they get into the playoffs and build something going into next year that can be carried over.
