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.


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.


He's clearly never seen Podz or Moody play

attacking Draymond 1-on-1 in the post should not be in our offensive playbook.

Conley is cooked. It's a shame but the Wolves aren't getting to the Finals with him as their PG.

Draymond is just a brick wall in there. It was amusing last round when Sengun kept getting stopped dead in his tracks by Dray, and this series is no different.

He's been up and down all year, but he's had some important defensive playoff games for us. I don't think he's quite cooked yet, but he's getting there.

We just suck. Nothing new. Watch Rob fumble the luka era as well.

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


Cant do it either way. Lebron has a NTC. I'd move on from him this offseason.

I just failed a drug test from seeing ARod and Bonds sitting together

gobert sucks.

He completely messes up their offensive sets. Just a useless player on offense, I'd rather have old Clint Capela on that end

Second time this quarter that Ant has gotten free FTA when he was nowhere close to a shooting motion.

Could go either way...Green wasn't set, but Randle extended his arm...it will probably just stand
