Rough time for both Buddy and Spencer to turn back into pumpkins.

That bench was -10 in less than 3 minutes. It was a bad move by Kerr.


It is necessary to play the bench. What is unnecessary was playing Kuminga and Spencer together. All the data from the regular season with them showed that was a disaster so insisting upon it now is just stupid.

He didn't need to sub everyone is what I'm somewhat not happy about.

its really hard to build around 3 bums - Podz JK Moody for the last 4 years and only showed that they dont belong to this league at all. If I am Joe I would sell the team and try to find something I am actually good at. It's hard to be this bad at drafting. Just admit getting luck to have a top 10 player and take the money and run before its too late.

I don't know if they can survive if Jimmy is not initiating 80% of the posessions. Podz and Spencer don't have the foot speed or outside shooting to collapse a defense.

No it does not have to be. If you are going to conduct experimental lineups in the regular season to find hidden gems then this is the time to use what you found. But any lineup tried with Kuminga and Spencer was bad. They were the worst pairing for each other during the regular season. So yes I blame Kerr.

Too many combinations that haven't played together much, not able to read what each other is doing.

Why do they have the only two white guards that can't shoot? :noway:

No matter the outcome, Curry and Butler need to talk to Draymond about him getting techs and flagrant fouls, in a game you expect GS to lose there is ZERO reason to inch closer to a suspension.

Looked like he started to tweak it already, then TJD landed on it to make it worse. Hope he's ok, seriously. Ant is my favorite player to watch outside the Heat and Warriors.

This game needed to happen. Moody, Kuminga and TJD all need minutes tonight if we're actually going to win one of the next 4 games.

Man, as usual you guys are way to hard on JK...he is one of the only players who can physically match the Wolves and every mistake he makes is threadworthy for you guys while every other Warriors has wet the bed.
