Warriors GM doing amazing job putting together a roster of players that cannot rebound nor shoot... I bet you when Curry retires they will be in lottery for a decade.

Thompson plays like a controller that's glitching. Guy has no clue what he's doing out there. Top 1% athleticism gives you a hell of a floor though.

Warriors cant convert a 4 vs 3 off Curry blitz lol

Smart challenge by Kerr. He got a third foul on a key rockets player.

Even Sengun really has no idea what he's doing out there, he's just really good. Really interesting team to watch. I'm always wondering what dumb thing they'll do next and then what spectacular thing they'll do next.

Their young players are kinda like ugly ducklings. Any other coach they're a lottery team.

If they called that foul on every play, this would be a game of one on one by halftime. But Brooks has three now, I guess.

Feels like Curry is playing 1 on 5 with the attention he's getting. Legit has no help.

They haven't drafted well nor developed since Jerry West left them. That front office and scouting needs a complete overhaul.

I want Kuminga to just start chucking. Your value's already in the toilet, may as well try to get some of that contract back while Jimmy's out and you still can.

Just go for it bro. Can't get any worse.

Warriors management this year acquired Jimmy Butler for peanuts extending their contention cycle for another couple of years. Curry fans should be grateful for GSW management. He's in the Magic Johnson/Tim Duncan tier for strong management. And Curry like those guys, to their credit, did everything they could to maximize their teammates considerable abilities.

Look at Milwaukee or Denver for ATGs stuck with bad management.

That's why Udoka is my COY. Houston at #2? People would have slapped you for suggesting it last year. They have the collective bball IQ of a rock.

Ime making this team work is highly impressive. I have the same take as you. This should be a low 40 win team that makes Memphis type mistakes

Not sure if it’s strategy, why are guys like Moody, Podz & Kuminga guarding Sengun? That’s more for Green, Looney & Post. He’s gonna feast in the post if the Warriors keep letting that happen.
