Today’s Truth Bomb

[floppymoose]

Truth bomb thread! I’ll start:

The Warriors are actually good at developing young players.

[Onus]

Steve Kerr actually plays rookies if you're not a completely lost puppy

Drafting JK was the bigger mistake than drafting Wiseman

[floppymoose]

The different color m&m’s actually taste the same.

[ILOVEIT]

Gary Payton is completely unreliable as an NBA player. Any planning involving Gary as a stable of the team is a waste of time.
The only thing between Kuminga becoming an all-star is Kerr.
Post is the second best three-point shooter on the team.

[Romulus]

I'll continue.

The Warriors are actually BAD at developing young players.

Steve does have any clue about coaching, he wins he a high iq team that coaches itself. He will ring in some random substitution. When he has a good assistant, the part which the assistant is handling looks good, like defence for example in this years team.

Warriors one the best 3 teams in pts in the paint defense.

Warriors have a punchers chance to go far in the playoffs as long as all time great Curry produces and they play defense.

Drafting moses over trey murphy was a bigger mistake than JK or Wiseman.

If we're being sarcastic:

Kerr only plays rookies if they're under 6'5" (mccaw & podz).

He's like 47 years old, shoots 3's and defends like he's 6'3. My point stands. (end sarcasm).

That's probably also why they give opposing teams so many open 3s though (#21 in opponent 3P%), they over-help inside and can't recover.

That being said, I think the offense is a much bigger problem than the defense this year (#17 in ORtg). And certainly some of that is on players missing shots (from pretty much everywhere: 2, 3, FT), but some of it is on Kerr for not coming up with some innovative means to get easy shots. Their offense is stagnant, anemic, tired, predictable, use whatever adjective you want, it's not good.

If Podz shoots as well as Post from three we are legit contenders.

Since trade deadline top 6 ORTG top 3 Netrtg.
Jimmy has made a difference. Butler would normally be thought of square peg but Kerr has made it work like most HOF coaches would do.

Butler doesn't shoot the 3 and it was thought he would clash with Green.

he was only a square peg to people who don't understand basketball

anyone who's actually watched steph curry play should've seen their games would mix like peas and carrots

So Podz must be a realgm lurker, read this, and took it personal.

You can see Moody thinking less and I love it.

It's good to see Moody shot well yesterday but even with those numbers, his Feb and Mar splits aren't great (35.8 and 33.8 % from 3, respectively). The last few games, i can see him passing up shots, and struggling out there. Didn't see the spurs game yet but I'm concerned about moody and his shot going into the home stretch.
