I think you’re right. This kind of reminds me of a heat zombie team but they all play so hard

Good to know that you’re for the Warriors this series. Good for my Wolves bet

Nah. Wolves haven't played with the same intensity they played against Lakers. They can't seem to get up for the Warriors. They're playing this like a regular season game. This team still lacks mental maturity. This is still a work in progress team.

We saw this after beating Joker last year. They are doing the same sh#% after beating LeLuka.


They're the ones holding themselves back. Maybe they need to get bounced out here to learn some lessons.

This is ugly basketball, if either team get's to 90 points they will win. Thinking 85 could do it though.

Maybe Kuminga hasn't been executing plays the way Kerr wants them run. He's not at the place he's supposed to be. Either on offense or defense or both.


Yeah Kerr seems to have some old school in him in that he has no problem benching talented guys who seem to lack maturity. And 4 championships means he can do whatever he wants pretty much.

Course they desperately need Kuminga with Curry out as evidence by this box score. Only Jimmy / Kuminga have scored over 4 points. So you have to be careful, and he certainly deserves some of the blame if Kuminga struggles.

We won’t have the stones to do it but he should move on from Bron. Start the rebuild around Luka now.

Yeah he's a vet coach, and he wants guys who executes well, not guys who makes a lot of mistakes that other teammates have to cover for. I think he's always preferred veteran players over young guys.

I do think Jimmy will start to get going this half and once he does the Warriors should easily win these 2 games
