Warriors v Grizzlies

[HiRez]

I mean you can blame a whole bunch of things, but the bottom line is you turn the ball over 22 times, you're going to lose that game >90% of the time no matter what else you do. They need to work on the lineups (Porter and Bjelica and maybe Moody and GPII should play more, Poole probably a little less for now) and other things, but until they get the turnovers under control, any lead they build will be extremely fragile.

I dont get the takes on Poole... he's clearly better with the backup squad and people are critiquing that part?

Bye bye moody, sent down to the G-League squad

We could have won this game with even just a reasonable facsimile of Klay.

They had a 19 point lead, they didn't need Klay. They just needed to hang onto the ball a few times instead of gift wrapping it to Memphis.

We needed some version of Klay in the 4th quarter, as well as OT. Just someone who could have hit a few three's late in the game.

But they do have some version of Klay—his name is Otto Porter Jr.

Well, I haven’t started my critique yet, but I would say that I am more concerned about the backup squad they’re playing with Poole, than I am with him playing with backups.

IMO, Curry is playing too many minutes this early in the season. Already averaging over 36 before the overtime 40+ last night.

Turning some of these big first quarters into blow outs would definitely help bring his minutes down

I'm assuming that when Klay returns, we will still have OPJ - unless you are assuming OPJ will be injured by then, which is a fair expectation. But if he somehow stays healthy, my belief is that if we had Klay last night, in addition to our current roster, we would have won even without Kuminga and Wiseman. Klay gives us another primary option when Curry has those off-nights that all shooters will experience on occasion.

I wish they would have used Wiggins more. He was feeling it against Anderson.

I also wish they had more size on the court to finish the 4th or OT.

More so I wish that Green didn't throw the game away every chance he got.

Kerr refuses to give Wiggins a bigger role while he is clearly the second best offensive player of the Warriors.
The previous year Kerr sticked with Oubre as second option fort the first 3 months of the year and it was a disaster.
Wiggins became the second option only after Oubre got injured.
This year Kerr tries to make Poole and Lee the second option while they are not that type of players.
Wiggins stays and waits his opportunity as last year, while he produces every night even staying uninvolved for big stretches of games.
He had zero shot attempts in overtime. The second best offensive player of the team had zero shot attempts when it mattered and while he is a clutch player and scores better when it matters.
The ball goes everywhere else except Wiggins

Wiggins is a below avg offensive player. he cant create , cant finish in open court and his 3 is inconsistent. If he is our 2nd best offensive player we are screwed either way.

He was the 15th most efficient ISO scorer in the NBA last season, just behind Luka and just ahead of Zion.

If he has a good matchup and he's feeling it, they should feed him the ball. Kerr's inability to adjust his game plan is beyond frustrating.

That's where miss Don Nelson.

I'd also like to see Bjelica closing out games, especially in OT when our guys don't have legs and jump shots are less likely to fall. He's assertive and composed on offense and he can help clean up the glass. He has everything that Draymond lacks. The calm, reliable presence would go well with Curry and Green.

I was surprised Kerr didn't give him a look down three the last minute of OT. They needed another shooter subbed in for Iggy in that situation.
