Dray on jokic allows jokic to find cutters and open shooters. More importantly takes dray out of the paint which makes jk the primary big paint protector helper.
Our 3 pfs (jk,klay, and saric) struggled with ag tonight.
All 3 of those names aren’t true PF besides in Kerr’s world. JK plays size wise like a SG. Klay should be on the bench at 20 minutes. Saric shouldn’t play in any meaningful minutes in the playoffs.
Moody if he got his three down would be ideal. And I would have JK stick on Murray like white on rice.

Jk isn't a good match up at poa these days.
He's best on a mpj or kcp. He simply can't handle ags activity.
Wiggs has to be on Murray and it forced the nuggets to call for a screen 99% of the time. Then wiggs got moved to mpj which is what we don't want. He's our second best help defender and tough rebounder (based on stats) stuck out at the 3 pt line.
Now we have dray and wiggins both drawn out of the paint. That was by design and kerr had no counter for it.
Jk just needs to play bigger or get replaced by tjd or podz needs to get taller and replaced by moody (not klay). That's it.

Klay scores 23 in the first half and scores Zero in the 2nd half.

Kuminga is not a great defensive rebounder but he did lead the team in rebounds, along with Podz. We only got outrebounded by two defensive and one offensive.
So what exactly is the criticism of Kuminga at PF? He should be on AG. Even though AG is bigger than Kuminga, he's still the best option. AG did most of his damage on Saric and you won't hear me defending that choice from Kerr.
This scapegoating of Kuminga has to stop. He's the best player on the roster for the position. The complaining about him boils down to him not being able to replace the scoring we lost now that Klay has fallen off so much. But that's not objective. You can't blame Kuminga for not being able to score 20 every night on good efficiency. You have to appreciate all the things he does well which is as a playmaker, in the open court, getting to the free throw line, attacking the bucket and playing really sound backline defense. That last thing for some reason so few seem to have noticed.
I still am aching to see prolonged minutes of Curry/Wiggs/Moody/Kuminga/Dray because I think Moody would provide wing defense, rebounding and toughness that Podz can't provide against the best teams.

Maybe it’s not Kerr. When you are that much better than your opponent you can determine when you want to win or not. The Warriors are on the outside looking in. I used to spot people points during while playing a game when I knew I was much better, they always thought they had a chance but not really.
They shut down Curry, but bench Klay went off. The problem is no one shut down Murray, so the equation is unbalanced in their favor. If they can shut down Murray, the game is closer. But Nuggets were never lost control of the game because both their stars showed up and can iso on individual defenders with ease. They don’t have to draw up plays or elaborate sets, all they have to do is give it to Jokic or Murray and get the hell out of the way. That’s a huge luxury.

Who is the best player on the Warriors to stop Murray? GPII perhaps?
The Dubs have the tools to get the job done. They just aren't being employed in a manner anyone would recognize as optimal.
