He can score, but he has low iq which is not a good fit in an offense with curry in it. Him playing well is very good for the warriors in the offseason


But everyone keeps trashing the guy when it's the organization that refuses to trade him. Guy can obviously play.

I hope they can keep Kuminga. It depends on the deal. He has t taken the step forward i hoped for, but he is useful in spots and still is young enough to improve.

That’s the kind of play Minnesota was simply not making earlier in the season. That lob pass to Gobert was effortless and something that you need chemistry to pull off. We don’t often give teams grace after major trades or injuries

If they lose tonight they lose the series.


I wouldn't go that far, but I'd agree that their chance to win the series drops significantly. I'd say its like 95% chance to win right now, but 60-70% if they lose tonight.

Now if Butler can give Kuminga some help the Warriors should easily win the chip next month

He's physically fine but he's not going to see the ball much with Kuminga in the game.

He's passed up at least three open shots. He's playing passive.

He's played well the last 3 games but I feel sorry for whoever signs him to a big contract.

Kuminga is not a good player. I think he has the mentality of a ball hog. You don’t want him on your team. If you can’t fit in with Curry then I don’t want you on my team.

Jimmy trade went from an A to C overnight. Wonder how many Warrior fans are excited to have him back next season.

Guy likes to pace himself during the regular season too. Which in the West, probably means absorbing extra losses. Gonna be hard to stay out of the play-in next year as well.
