bull. Kuminga just needs the ball in his hands more and more shots. The guy is a star that’s being held back because he’s not been treated fairly.

What?

Despite playing along great teammates he’s a guy who’s been wildly inefficient the more usage he has taken on and has shown over and over to be a low IQ player.

He’s a fine player, but no one who that bad of a shooter, defender, and playmaker is a “star”.


His talent is undeniable. Just give him a bigger role and he’ll develop. Guaranteed. That’s how it works when players aren’t productive. It’s not their fault they just neee a bigger role.

They gave him a bigger role last year. He has a 27 usage %. He was bad.

He’s gonna be a good stats bad team kind of guy. He doesn’t play a win in style.

Barnes wildly efficient, warriors are so small and suck defensively

The play was a better pass to Mamu and a lob to Dick.

But either way, funny how everyone is whining about a fast break that ended up with a foul and 2 points :lol:

No. You get the ball quickly to the lead runner. Then either he can make it to the hoop, but if the defender closes on him, then he dumps it back to the trailing free man. It’s a pretty standard chess move.
Plus, in this case you don’t ever make Mamu the decision making ball handler. He might end up receiving a pass at the rim.

Yall just see whatever you wanna see.

Just rewind and watch the play. It’s not as clear cut as you’re making it out. Santos was right there with dick.

IQ put the ball in Mamu’s hands 2 1/2 steps from the rim. He gave him no option at that speed. And The defender knew it.
Is anybody here a marine biologist?

There are games like these where Scottie is assertive on offense right from the start. Why can’t he do this every game?

This is the first time all season I’ve looked at the court and we look like the bigger team.
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive

It doesn’t matter. He needs more touches to get his game going it’s that simple and that’s all that matters.

What's Mamu really thinking taking that shot so early in the shot clock. Poor shot selection.

It’s not mindset, when you’re facing a smaller **** defense it’s easier to attack an finish.
