Game 48 Suns @ Warriors

[floppymoose]

This is the team. They are going to get big wins now and then when they have flashback nights. But they cannot do that every game, or even most games. They are not one Lauri or Levine or Butler or Vuc (lol) away.

For several seasons I’ve believed that Wiggins should play 2/3 of the regular season games. Two on, one off. Seems like he can only focus on a couple of games a week. Like high school or college.

He only lead the team in points, rebounds, assists, and steals. If this is a bad wiggins game, I take it 10 out if 10. Outside of maybe moody, no one had a great game.

He missed quite a few bunnies. Like most of the team, I think they had no legs. They've had a brutal schedule the last 2 weeks.

What a stinker.

Couldn’t buy a bucket after everything went in against the thunder.

And....no one will touch the Curry is stinking it up 3rd rail. But I'm sure he was triple teamed all game.

Again, favorite Warrior of all time but if an all time great is the bar - he stinks right now - and has been awful for half of the season.

I think its a culmination of a few things:

Hes getting older.
Hes tired (6 games in 10 nights)
Hes trying to conserve for a 2h push.
His minutes with Schroeder are a mixed bag.
He misses Draymond.
Hes getting face guarded full court and seeing multiple bodies.

They are Mid-Maxxing™ and yes, I'm trademarking that.

You can make it way easier - Curry is 37y old and its hard to play this style (move a lot w/o ball or be primarily playmaker/scorer) for 37y player.

If you look at Lebron/Paul/Harden, they all play way slower with ball or just stand w/o ball.

[Onus]

Agreed with crazy. 3rd game in 4 nights and we went hard against Okc. Tough game from a schedule standpoint.

Warriors can bisect an angle like nobody’s business

Steph, Wiggins, and Looney are the remaining members of the championship core that are available to play. They played a grand total of a little over 5 minutes together where they went -2. Everyone on the team was negative in plus-minus but Looney's was best on the team at -1 in just under 15 minutes of play.

The lineups that Kerr was putting out there suggest he's still not seriously trying to win but is still experimenting.

[DonaldSanders]

Strphs hand must really be bothering him. He just doesn't look right.

Injured thumb on your shooting hand is a rough injury for a shooter. Knees bothering him all year doesn't help either. He needs time off but feels pressed to try to win games and keep the season alive.

Don't like Post starting last 2 games. He is not ready. By putting him against starters, he is getting cooked on D.

When he comes off the bench, he provides the O without being switched on top scorers on D.

And I am still sick of midget ball. This is 2025, not 2017 any more. Bigs are so much better now that it is killing midget ball. And this midget ball team only coached to jack up 3s. Last night, Suns couldn't defend a lick with Dubbs going to the rim, yet keep jacking up clunkers.

Knowing how Dubbs operates, good luck with a trade to improve mid season. Again... 500 team. And not even a play in team until JK comes back. That is sad knowing JK is the only hope to save the season without a trade.

I think Post has been fine, we're just trying to use him like TJD and playing switch-heavy on D . I don't understand why Kerr thinks you can swap two completely different players and run the exact same scheme.

We need to run more inside-out movements on defense like we used to do with Bogut. He isn't going to run it well, but we're trying to play him like he's Horford and he isn't.
