It’s not KP’s fault. It’s on Joe. Maybe he’s trying to get fired.

We're going to need production from somebody unexpected to pull out this game. I don't think Joe has it in him to give anyone else a shot.

Brown and White shooting 13-21 including 8-12 from three points and are tied at the half is a bit concerning

i love KPs heart but ... truly, don't play him at all... maybe start him, give him 4 mins as a show of respect and then he sits after that

Time for Zingis to have his moment.

I'm telling you, Porzingis may be sick but I think he's getting the point that everybody is sick of his crap. He got the pass last season because everybody was rockin and rollin and they gave him the slack because of his surgery, but this virus crap when they're best player and great teammate just ruptured his achilles during a game that he was carrying the team. There sick of his crap. He's a goner for sure.

This board has a wet dream for prospects and it has had it for years. White, Jaylen and Jayson are the three key pieces for our next run. Pritchard probably subs in for Jrue at least for a year and maybe raises his value for a trade later. No need to rush into getting rid of these guys.


I’d probably keep Jrue for another year too. But this is a very sensible and normal take.


I’d trade him because you kind of need the spaces to see what guys like JD and Peterson can do. Give Pritchard the starting spot and Jrue will prob lose significant value if you keep him past next years deadline. But again, I don’t think people will see this full dismantle job that they are thinking will happen.

I was looking at GSW playoff minute totals and coach Kerr has played 14 different guys in competitive minutes
he's been coaching his ass off for Golden State

Our coaching has really suffered from a lack of creativity, even just playing different combinations is a lot to ask

Man, just imagine if we didn’t play with our food and gave away the first two games - which I place a lot of blame on Tatum for.

12 min, 1 rebound. Way to be a 7 footer.


He is injured/sick. He should not even be playing.


If he is injured/sick he should sit out
Play Kornet/Queta


Completely agree but that is Joe's issue.
