Are they just running it out until Draymond is back? Will they ever hold Klay accountable?

Or do we have to dump everything else, until there’s no one else to blame?


Yeah, I think he's looking right at klay and looking at jk though the peripherals. Those guys are playing for a contract and trying to show it through individual work. Team play is just not a priority for them right now.

Why not give Moody some burn to get paid as well? Kerr and the dubs are doing moody dirty. Him playing selfishly might be a good thing.

Mt and slater reiterated on their podcast the same things. The team is vibing off the court, but there are a couple of players that aren't prioritizing winning on the court. They are prioritizing themselves and aren't being selfless on the court.

They clearly hint that one is klay and gave a subtle hint that jk is the other one.

Another nugget, cp3 and tjd likely starting for the foreseeable future.

Is a good listen as always. Best warriors pod by far.

all 5 starters declining is just too much to handle i guess. We will give Dray another run but wont be any better. I think the Dray Curry Klay JK Loon is at best neutral and you still have to look for trades

In Part 2 of the "Locked On Warriors – Daily Podcast On The Golden State Warriors" post-Mavs' game podcast, Cyrus Saatsaz objectively addresses each of Kerr's coaching shortcomings and especially focuses in on the Mavs game.

Wow, a very sobering listen, for sure...

Every coach got sh’t from us since I arrived here in 2005.

A few deserved sh’t. Most did not,

True, but how can starting CP3 and Curry next to each other work defensively ?.

He seems to be stuck in an old paradigm. Small ball didn’t work in the world titles either.

Might be possible if you play then with 3 of wiggs, moody, dray, or gp3. You need of ball defenders that can tag and recover fast.

I agree that might work, but he is playing CP3 instead of one of those players ab initio ie the 3 guard line up which didn't work last year either even with Green available. Calling Klay a Small Forward is just pretending imo. He needs to play Curry obviously, and Wiggins at SF, then take it from there, also imo.

I agree, but kerr is he'll bent on trying to get more scoring eventhough he's been using 4/5 offense only players together to start every game.

It's perplexing that he didn't see that a lack of 2 way play and defense as the bigger problem. Meanwhile moody just rots on the bench.

The starters the past 9 games have been abysmal defensively. Scoring 122 pts and still losing, tells me offense isn't the biggest issue.

A bit hypocritical of Kerr.

In that Sacramento game, he pulled Moses for Wiggins. Afterward, he admitted that he should have pulled Klay.

So essentially, he said that he was more worried about the Klay agenda than with winning.
This movie is like the Rocky Horror Picture Show where everyone knows all the lines.

Just like klay will regain his shot, the starters will start making shots again and kerr will try to win on the backs of that. Bomb some 3s and hit a good %. Winning while giving up 125.

It's fools gold, just like the winning streak that most mostly composed of bottom 10 teams.

Last and only time kerr prioritized system and 2 way play, was the 1 game moody started. It wasn't pretty.....for the other team because our defense was legit.

OMG. So, after the game, Kerr laments the poor defense, how they aren't playing with grit. And then today, he announces he's sticking with a starting lineup that includes the 6' Chris Paul. Has he lost his mind? Playing Chris Paul, Steph Curry, and Klay Thompson together gives you NO CHANCE defensively. And that's not to mention that having Curry play the 2 takes the ball completely out of his hands.

This team with this coach? Forget it.

And by the way, the Jazz just destroyed the Mavs, the team Kerr had no answers for.

Kerr can't manage this roster. At all. Dunleavy has to make a move or two to shake things up. Otherwise, this team isn't getting to the playoffs.

Unless you believe Mt and slater are lying, they singled out wiggins as the one guy who is fighting, caring, and being selfless.

And no reason to include moody either. He doesn't even play, he doesnt complain, nor is he the one that visibly pouts on the court. He's been a consumate team player even with his livelihood on the line. If anything, he deserves to take minutes from klay and jk who are cut from the same cloth as poole.
