It’s about time for a lineup change

It's a basketball game, why are they losing their minds?

Yeah I think that start will ultimately be too much to overcome, but at least Kuminga woke up this game. I like the Warriors chances of winning one of the two home games.

It's not really on Moody that he's getting handed grenades at the last second of the shot clock and having to heave up contested 3's. Jimmy is just dribbling out the clock, unable to create anything.

Butler's only played 26 minutes in a game without Curry.

Bad turnovers

GQ Hot Dog · Post #211 » by **GQ Hot Dog** » Fri May 9, 2025 2:27 am

All these turnovers and badly missed late shot clock attempts are the consequence of Kerr jerking the rotations around at the end of the season.

And losing Curry to injury, but not only that.

They likely wouldve lost anyway but this one is on Kerr.. However its possible he wanted a 20+point loss to rest Jimmy

Why is Butler off the court so much, the team doesn't have enough ballhandling to have him on the bench so much. Butler's only -3 with 6 Warriors being -10 or worse. Podz is +1 with only 25 minutes played, it's like Kerr has no thought of trying to win this game.

Kerr is very good at that.

His unwillingness or inability to put the ball on the deck and get into the paint is a problem though. If he gets the ball with 5 secs left and the defender pressuring his shot, get in the effing paint.

It's not Kuminga this time, it's the lack of ball handlers on the court, at no time should Podz and Butler be on the bench at the same time. Sadly, this game was winnable but these crazy lineups screwed everything up.

This was a try out game. Don’t think Kerr was trying to win this game at all costs. Want to make sure Jimmy doesn’t play 40+ in a game Kerr isn’t actually trying to win.

Butler's rotation suggests to me that Kerr didn't intend to push super hard to win this game. I think he's playing the chess match.

Kerr's opening lineup did so terribly they haven't been able to pull themselves out of the whole they digged.

Surprised he did not start the game with the lineup he finished with last game. He went with a random test it out lineup tonight.

Just making sure to have a ball handler on the court would have done wonders. It's all the fumbles that have caused all the issues. GS got the lead down to 7 and then screw it!
