Moses Moody looking like a real solid rotation wing for weeks, and then getting DNP-CD’d 3 straight for seemingly no reason is just bizarre **** by the Warriors. Then you have Kuminga getting benched for some reason after being one of their best players through 3Q of that game, and the team proceeds to utterly collapse from that point on. Like wtf is Kerr doing?

Seriously if they’re gonna screw over Moody, just give him to us lmao.

Seems so obvious to just play the young guys around Steph.

I guess when you have an 8-foot wingspan you can block a lot of shots. Who knew?

Wemby is certainly already a fantastic player and he could develop into one of the best we've ever seen, but I kind of find it funny all the TV and internet reactions to him blocking Giannis last night. Just going nuts. OH MY GOD HE STUFFED GIANNIS! HE OWNED HIM!

I mean, yeah, he's 9 feet tall and has a 25-foot wingspan. He's going to block shots and especially against a guy who always goes to the rim. The cooler stuff is the blocks where he reaches across the lane or his crazy point guard moves.

Oh, and that corner three attempt by Pat that got blocked was so bad. Dude, you saw Wemby coming the whole way, you knew what was going to happen.

A rookie going toe-to-toe with Giannis in MVP mode is impressive.

Thought Wemby's block was cool, thought Giannis scoring 44 was cooler.

Just enjoying a stroll through the Dubs board. They want Kerr's head on a pike almost as much as our own haters want Griffin to face a firing squad.

They also share our complaints about ineffective defense, although one poster observes that individual wing defense is no longer relevant in the NBA. I would call that the Holiday-Butler Conjecture, and I think it's probably right.

Would love Kuminga in Milwaukee. He’d develop so nicely being thrown into the fire with Dame, Giannis and Khris. Kerr is an overrated coach and always has been. Oh the genius it takes to coach Steph, Klay and Draymond all throughout their primes and then Kevin Durant? Lol, gimme a break.

Individual iso defense has always been overrated. Having a guy who can slide his feet and play good team defense at 6’6 or above is probably the most important non star role to have on a contending team. The more you have the better, especially if they can knock down an open jumper.

Something deeply funny about Kuminga of all players leaking this and Shams running with it.

That's a pretty bold statement by Kuminga, gotta think that means he's dealt in the next month. Not sure we want a guy that can't shoot 3s though unless were just banking on him being able to hit the open ones.

Just perusing the standings but it's kinda crazy that the Top-8 East playoff teams are basically all but set this early in the season.

Celtics
Bucks
Sixers
Heat
Pacers
Magic
Cavs
Knicks

Then you have a 5-game difference between the 8th and 9th seed (Brooklyn).

Yeah I'd happily roll the dice on Kuminga and/or Moody if there happens to be a trade that makes sense.

Dealing with people who exhibit the "smartest person in the room" syndrome can be a challenge. One approach is to listen their opinion while also encouraging open-mindedness. It's important to create an environment where all voices are valued.
