Doesn't matter if Kuminga breaks the offense since nobody other than Butler is really doing anything. Breaking the offense is a better option so far and might be the best option outside of Butler until Curry is back.

They can’t play the full game. Just have to make sure we go back to it to close the half.

Podz has to figure his crap out. He's playing with no confidence. Kuminga gets benched and handled it like a champ. Podz got all the minutes and is losing his nerve when it matters most.

I was gonna say this but you beat me to it. It's clear he doesn't belong on the floor in this series.

Wtf how did either of those balls stay in bounds? I thought Jimmy's pass to Podz was getting deflected out, and then I thought for sure JK sent that corner 3 into the first row. Unlucky.

I know Kuminga wants to be a good soldier and not demand the ball or force offense. But do they have a choice? The Buddy/Jimmy two man game is non-functional right now.

Podz and Hield have to take open shots when he has them. Podz has passed/ran the offense vs taking an open 3.

He'll play his game and this is a situation where his game will help. There's almost no good coming from running the offense for anyone else.

He's our leading rebounder which has always been his saving grace.

Podz couldn't even hit rim with a Butler moving screen to get him a wide open 3.

Wow, Podz was way off on that 3pt attempt when Butler had an offensive foul.

I have no idea why Kerr would have both Butler and Kuminga off the court at the same time. Nobody else is able to get a good shot.
