Hope "fans" learn what it means to deserve to play - which is not viral dunk clips. Just who are we claiming was denied their minutes when truly deserved? Because I remember last year when "Kerr was holding back Wiseman", who it turns out cant even get stable minutes on a 2 and 27 squad. If these talk-radio segment storylines were taken as reality, Warriors would probably have half the chips they have gotten over the past 10 years. Fans need to learn the game and Warriors system - and its easy to tell the ones that are being informed by the media narratives because they keep asking for a "big" and throwing out names that do not fit on a Curry led squad unless you want to scrap the system that has made the team a four time champion in recent years.
It's easier said than done. It is hard to change culture overnight. If Steve Kerr decides to ignore tenureship and truly play for the win, it may piss off the players (curry for instance) enough to complain to management. Steve Kerr's head might be on the chopping board because of that. This situation is exactly like an old traditional Japanese company that prioritizes promotion of senior workers over those with capability. Whoever tries to change it will be axed first.
MUCH respect for these Pro's. Alot of sacrifice & hard work...& gosh, it's absolutely even harder healing & going thru PT to get back. Let's Go Warriors❤ Amazing & Resilient team. Coach Kerr is a Gem💎
What a clown Steve Kerr, really the reason he dont like to play Kuminga and Wiggins, its because they had not look good. Its not because playing both would be less Klay minutes and you dont want that. I dont know why these reporters dont ask Kerr about the sample size of playing together Wiggins and Kuminga. Lets see some stats, Wiggins and Kuminga have play together only 106 minutes, the game is 48 minutes, su you know its just a sample of a little more than 2 full games? They are plus minus -53, and is not good, but again its a very small sample size. Who is working with you with those stats? You know what is a really bad combination, Stephen Curry and Wiggins 542 minutes playing together, thats a lot of minutes and they started a lot of the games, they are together plus/minus -98, worst on the team, 2 worst are Klay Thompson and Wiggins 471 minutes and they are plus/minus -90, they also were starters. 3 worst is Klay Thompson and Looney with 478 minutes and a plus/minus of -60. Are they starters? What happened with the data of your coaches? 4 worst is Wiggins and Looney they play 417 minutes ana they are plus/minus -59. As you see many of the worst plus/minus they had, are because of the starters and a lot of the worst combination its with Wiggins. So when Kerr say he does not want to play Wiggins and Kuminga together its a joke because is small sample, and Kerr is playing heavy minutes for players that are starters and are playing really bad.
Kerr's "easy decision" to not use Kuminga came with a loss. If you can't have Wigs and Kuminga on the court at once something is wrong. Maybe I need a film session with Kerr because I'm not fucking seeing it.
He wants to use that as an excuse to bench jk.....never in history had 2 wings who can create they own shot and defend not be able to play together lol yet kerr puts out some of the most horrific lineups we have seen....
Steph being called for a flopping call couple days ago, but never EVER getting the Superstar whistle he deserves, all the while Jokic' foul grifting and flopping getting rewarded, is absolutely ridiculous! It's all so backwards and it's really infuriating. 😤😤
Yooo That's How The World is Today It's Backwards We All Can't Move Forward Because People Like Live In The Past And Not The Future That's The Problem With Our Generation
You want Steph to benefit but not another player? Hypocritical much? Jokic gets one game in his favor, and people lose their mind. Where was the outrage when Giannis made 24 FT's a couple of weeks ago? Embiid with 19. Denver lives in the paint, and drives the lane. Also, Jokic has the most amount of touches in the league, averaging 100+ per game. Tell me how his free throw numbers are so low considering? It's not like he takes all these 3's 25 feet outside of the paint. Kerr and fans can't be pissed when Klay and Steph didn't show up for the game. There were bigger problems than free throws! Try defense on Jamal's 28 points, etc. I did the research. Steph's career game FT average is 4.0-4.4. Jokic's are 3.8- 4.6. So yeah... Pretty lame argument if you fact check. Steph once had 19 free throws in a game, and Kerr didn't pitch a fit then. Kerr and fellow fans needs to stop deflecting, and take the L.
@@TheSwedAsa "Denver lives in the paint". Oh how ironic that Dubs had more points in the paint then. 🙂 And there's nothing hypocritical about wanting Steph Curry being treated like the Superstar he is, especially not when basically all other superstars get a VERY favorable whistle, unlike him. And you can't say Jokic didn't foul grift and flop that game, c'mon, be honest. The majority of 'fouls' on him were ticky-tack fouls or even ghost fouls. And then flopping to get that offensive foul on Curry? Seriously, you're defending that? Sad.
Kuminga has the 2nd most 4th quarter points this year for the Warriors, only Curry has more. He’s done this despite Kerr only playing him the 6th most minutes in the 4th. Kerr needs to play Kuminga 30min a night and close with him - we need his scoring, we need his defense, we need his energy and athleticism. Against Denver, Kuminga had 13pts and 5reb in 20min against Denver and Kerr subs him out with 4min left in 4th and the vets can’t close again. Same old story
He don’t mess with him. It’s obvious. He trying to kill his confidence by saying all this. Kuminga has been big for us!! We don’t win at Boston and start this winning streak without him. Defense and offense. Kerr is one of them coaches that doesn’t know too much and let his ego a hold of him. He did the same thing with Poole. We’re doomed as long as he’s our coach. Mike Brown would’ve played Kuminga smh
@@brianjanes4393 so? The stats I gave are facts. He’s human, he’s not perfect. The league has caught up to the Warriors and Kerr hasn’t evolved. He is still running the same 5 out offense jacking up 3’s. He’s still leaning on the old starters when the bench has outplayed the old starters all year. Facts are facts. Kerr closing with Paul, Klay and Curry when NONE of them can guard anyone anymore. We’ve lost 12 close games this year cause Kerr has the wrong closing lineups that can’t play Defense. We need Kuminga to be on the floor to close for offense, defense and to put pressure on rim which opens up the 3pt line for Curry
@@brianjanes4393 how dare you challenge the sofa coaches? Don’t you know that collectively they have forgotten more than that freaking simpleton loser Steve will ever know? Shut your mouth now before the Internet Warriors do it for you.
"we have to find the right combination for JK and Wiggs to play together". He means Klay can't be out there with them, and for some reason he thinks Klay should always be out there. His reasoning is weak - yank whoever makes a mistake but never yank a favored son.
That’s the most frustrating part. It’s his refusal to bench Klay unless he’s having a historic bad stretch. Kuminga has one bad quarter and he’s benched for Klay who has a bad game entirely. It’s one thing to point out what JK needs to work on but excusing Klay is what pissed me off last season as well when all the blame was put on JP. Like Klay is doing the same shit young guys are getting pulled for. Curry is the only one on this roster that deserves to be on the floor no matter how he is playing.
Steve stop saying Kuminga is a young player? BP is young and it seems like you have confidence in him.i truly hope we don't loose him that will not be good
Kerr needs to stop pairing Steph with both Looney and KT to match up with the other team’s starting lineup. That’s why Warriors keep falling behind by 10 points after the first eight minutes of the game. This just waste Steph’s energy and minutes. KT should match up with the other team’s second unit so he doesn’t get burned by the elite athletes but can still score a lot with his fantastic shooting ability.
The problem with Kerr, he keeps on playing two point guards at the same time. He's thinking about the offense it would generate but didn't look how fragile they could be on defense. Adding Looney who they couldn't really rely on offense and defense. Let Curry, Klay, Wigs, Kuminga and Saric/TJD play together so they could have a balance mix of shooting, athleticism, playmaking and size on both offense and defense.
Why does Kerr act like it has to be “either or” with Wiggs and Kuminga? If they are both playing well (and especially on Christmas with Klay playing horribly) why couldn’t they both play in the 4th quarter? There are a handful of teams where that could be more difficult but Kerr seems very close minded sometimes. Just a few weeks ago he said that the vets will be the reason this team wins - it’s obvious that they will be a big part but the best lineups and games have been with a solid combination of vets and youth- especially with Kuminga, Podz & TJD (and Moody at times).
@nenevz2948 u act like the NBA moves from Dynasty to Dynasty, the Nuggets are good, but not Dynasty good. IF the Warriors Dynasty is truly over we have a few years of breakout teams winning championships before we see another domination
@@LeoLikeNoOther Could be: but Nuggets are still young and improving across the roster except for the obvious like DJ. However Nuggets fans have zero trust for the NBA powers that be; it’s likely to be a stacked deck against them going forward
Warriors just got to keep pushing! Brandin podziemski is helping the warriors a lot, and we need more efforts like him with Wiggins as well. Though it was disgusting to watch Warriors vs. Nuggets, we got set that aside and beat these Heat! WARRIORRS!!! 🎉❤
say what you will about the Warriors organization but theyre really good about keeping their matters in house amongst themselves. Not allowing the media to have an influence.
Our roster the second unit is very good and it is one of the best in d nba but our starters need compete more so when Steph resting an klay we have a good score most of the time it’s our second unit is play the best than the starters but I really believe in this team an I’m sure we can reach the final inspite of what’s going on I still believe
Some guy just hit the Warriors nail right on the head. He said that the older guys that can score can't play defense, and the older guys that defend, can't score the ball. Of course he's right, but now the older guys who could once score the ball, aren't scoring like they used to score, and that renders them almost useless. They aren't scoring the ball, and they can't defend against any of these much younger and athletic players. Teams just be running over these old men.
Arguably the smartest coach in the league, he's yet another product of the Warriors consistently underrated. Fortunately, he remains unaffected by armchair coaching reporters and "analysts."
Kerr is Nick picking on jk game to justify the benching ..lets forget that and just play him more.. nobody has been good around wiggs this season , Small ball with old , non Athletic ,injury prone players is tough, and in top of that you have a lot 1 way players , the scorers can't defend and stop no-one , and the defenders are alergic to attack , don't even look at the basket , the young guys can more or less do both but they're not consistent because of the lack of playing time and the pressure to not mess up.. Last year the problem was the bench , this year everyone knows who are the ones who have to step up their game, until that happens let the youngsters to learn in order to be able to contribute later , maybe in the playoffs ( if they figure out) when we all know Kerr will be more hesitant to play them ..
A Quote from Steve Kerr " every game I have to read the game" SIR.... I submit to you that you have left approximately 5 potential wins on the board, because of your INABILITY to READ THE GAME....
Kuminga 25 min a night equals championship, even if everyone is healthy he has to play 25 min or more. If not they won’t win the title or go far. Kuminga also has to close games. The new death lineup is splash bros, draymond, Kuminga and then the last spot is Wiggins, Payton, looney, saric, cp3, moody, tjd, ect depending on who is playing well. Wiggins has good games but he doesn’t effect the game like Kuminga. Kerrs decision with Kuminga will decide the season
I can fix the minutes problem real easy. Take a page out of Popovich book. No starter plays over 30 minutes and stick to that. Only exception is Curry. Looney Should only get no more than 15 minutes period. There no reason why CP3 should be playing over 30 minutes any game. 25mpg and no more for Chris Paul.
Jk is about to be RFA ? Dont alienate him and made him an scapegoat and running him out of town , imagine this 20 years young man leaving and later becoming something similar to kawhai, that would sting for at least a decade ,..
Exactly.....so what was the plan when u extended Wiggins with jk on the team? They would never play together lol its just a lazy excuse and shows how flawed kerr is
I love this team, they've made history together and besides Green everyone seems so likeable and connected with Kerr's leadership. HOWEVER. At this point, after hearing him talk so much about the roster, it's painfully obvious they have too many "prospects". Not only does this cut into the players rhythm and unit building, it costs them games and morale in the process. They need to let go of that many prospects and consolidate (maybe with better players), I think that would INSTANTLY make a difference to the teams recent and very obvious struggles
@@3107karan They really do. Klay is not that superstar we all knew and loved anymore, we need a legitimate threat besides Curry. THEN they can start playing roster games
Line ups are tricky because when you have eight to ten guys that can be in the starting line up, you need to determine the best mismatches against your opponent or who is truly the hottest.
Wiggins is a great guy and good player but he will have to be traded so they can keep Kuminga. jK is already twice as good as Wiggins in every facet of the game.
Let's just cut to the chase. The other teams have figured these Warriors out. Steph and Klay don't play defense. These teams are younger, and faster, and much taller. Steph Curry just doesn't shoot that good anymore. Since when have we seen Steph Curry shoot 3 for 15? Klay is sporadic at best. If Miami makes them look bad, just think what Milwaukee, Philly, and Minnesota Timberwolves will do to this small lineup? These Warriors are toast. This team has gotten old, and the other teams have gotten better. We don't even know if this smallish lineup can even beat the Detroit Pistons. I don't see them beating the Orlando Magic either.
it’s not about the positions they play , it’s about their purpose on the floor. It’s redundant to have both of them in the floor at the same time because they both do the same things so one of the two will always be left out i do think it’s for the best if they experiment playing them together more tho
@@iamtheone2000 Tatum and Brown do the same thing for Boston and it seems like it works for them. Kuminga and Wiggs could be the same if Kerr uses them correctly.
Warriors did it!! 👍👏🔥🔥❤️❤️ The combination of CP 3, TJD, BP, Moody JK, GP II and Dario Saric is exactly what is needed for Warriors, both for Steph and non-Steph minutes. If they all play at their normal level, they're in really good shape!! 🙏🙏👍👏 Now once they get Dray back hopefully after he took the necessary steps, they're golden. 😉
With how close the games have been, the Warriors can't afford Draymond having a technical foul. He needs to be more professional and just play his best.
@@joeyd4079 the fact we're doing well without him doesn't mean he's trash, though. I still hope he can come back a changed man and help the team/Steph win another chip (or two). 😊
I don't like the Podz idea. The team is small and Draymond out, a smaller guy get those minutes. It doesn't make sense, Denver just hammer us with their bigger and longer body. Podz good but it doesn't change anything. When GP2 came back, the rotation will have Curry CP3 GP2 Podz 4 small guys. We'll have to battle against bigger longer opponents every night.
Kuminga can play the 5 he is so strong and long he can matchup with most centers and hold his own then he can punish them with his speed on the other end.
No he can't. He hasn't even been able to guard the 4. They would have loved to see his growth there turning into another Draymond defensively. But he is a sieve on defense in the paint.
Coach Kerr mark my word you let play Wiggs first unit 100% warriors going to loose absolutely! Ur starting lineup u need one more changes to match the rhythm of young guys plus Curry and Klay change looney with TJD or Dario!!!! You are competing all mostly new guys with athletic this nba so u need to change! Coach Kerr you better give new guys more minutes so they can have the experience with Klay and Curry and sharpen their skills and get used to it! Otherwise less you play those young guy’s chances warriors not going to make it in play off with the old crews that is for sure!!!!!
Love the clear and thoughtful and nuanced way Kear answers these endless and tedious questions. We are so lucky to have them as our coach and… Oh, by the way. FIRE THE FOOL. ANY ONE OF US ON HERE KNOWS SO MUCH MORE THAN HE DOES. NINE RINGS MY BUTT. JUST LUCKY…
Wiggins isn’t strong that’s his weakness and he isn’t a great shooter. He gets bumped off drives and Kuminga is so powerful strong and fast he can drive on anyone in the league and make them look weak
GSW has some real challenges ahead with Miami (Jimmy B), Mavericks (Luka), Orlando (Banchero) and then Denver again. Home court advantage not enough against those teams. 😮😊
Kuminga needs to hit those free throws and he'll be a nightmare for the opposing teams . Kerr please give him more minutes. I'd rather see Jk than Wiggins
I wonder how many folks that have commented about what Kerr should do or not do interviewed for the job but became a successful head coach somewhere else in the NBA. Further, I wonder how many that have commented and seem to know exactly what Kerr should or should not do has nine rings, won championships with MJ and Tim Duncan, and had Phil Jackson and Pop as their coach. I dunno. I clean windows. I am exquisitely efficient and no, Coach Kerr can’t do that better than I can. And neither can you.
Hey kerr pls .give some time to lester quiñones and uzman garuba ....pls give some minutes to play specially lester he will give you more more points to win the game he helps a lot ....and his a solid shooter 😊
I have not missed a Dubs game since the beginning of the 2015 season. I'm with Coach Kerr. The NBA foul calling is getting so ridiculous that I'm thinking of turning off the TV and walking away. There is no flow to the games when every play is truncated by a foul call. Are fouls being encrouaged because they provide a TV commercial break? WOW!
bro wiseman plays for my team and the pistons just broke a record for 27 straight losses if bro couldve fit he wouldve been there , gs won a chip after trading him
Steve Kerr got a tough job. Lot of mouths to feed but as long as the focus is on winning then everyone including the likes of Klay, Wiggins and Draymond need to fall in line. If you ain’t helping, you’re hurting us. Too much talent is a good problem to have.
I hope JK doesn't become another Poole! He can be a real star if he continues to improve his game as he is doing lately with his smarter plays and quicker decisions.
Kerrs favoritism is so obvious stating Jk is a young player is true but it's his job is to develop Jk not keep benching him. What about the fouls and disrespect that BP has towards Jk instead of passing to Jk you was there he freaking goes for 3 and misses does he get benched hell no ,come on Kerr look at your players respect for your players go along way
Its so crazy cause I think nba is sleeping on Warriors roster, we have so many weapons on this squad rn, we got Lester who can ball fr, Gui santos, Trayce, Podz, kuminga, like we're stacked, If we get another Center I think its championship bound for us
the problem with Warriors is they are very stacked and flat...they have 5-6 players that are almost doing the same thing but lack of real stars beside Curry
They are definitely the deepest team. Steve need to stop thinking in terms of best 8 players and think of all of them. He need to constantly change lineups based on opponent. We need Green starting when we play teams with dominating bigs. We need Green and Looney not starting when we play fast teams like the Kings, we need Podz and Kuminga starting those games. Keep Wiggins on the bench unless Kuminga fall off and Looney go a good 20+ games off the bench playing the way he did Monday. Cause Kuminga has been more consistent than Wiggins they both have similar play. Where this team go is all on Kerr though.
you can’t carry 12 solid rotational guys to the playoffs … it’s a waste of bodies … look for GSW to trade a couple guys plus a pick for a solid defensive center to combat AD and joker come April/May
Dang I wasn't expecting Glove back any time soon but I'm glad to hear he's in the mix. Just hope he doesn't rush back. Those calf strains are nothing to play with, literally. Look no further than KD for proof. Sidenote: I love basketball season so much 🥹
They put Kuminga into the lineup, and he immediately commits 6 turnovers before the game is half over. And Andrew Wiggins is still shooting horribly too. But, we need to be truthful. Steph Curry is currently shooting 3 for 11 from the floor. He's definitely not the best guard in the league anymore. Steph Curry's shine is wearing off quickly. I can name 4 or 5 guards in the league who are playing much better than Steph Curry.
Kerr's words mean nothing re who's playing better stays on the court, cause Steph and Klay should have been pulled - they lost that Xmas game vs Nuggets
Kuminga is a way better passer than Wiggins. Wiggins cares about scoring so much he is looking shot first instead of setting up splash bros then looking to score
In my opinion, Kerr will just keep shuffling lineups and call it coaching. Lol. We'll be in the last week of the season and still experimenting. Great players making great plays will turn the tide, not his X's and O's. It seems every season we have multiple multi game losing streaks injury or not.
Why do you even need to game after game make these lineup changes. It hard because you make it hard not this year but last year. The fact that he said " told Moses prior busted your own words why stay ready coach by the moment not before with all this analyical decision with Atkinson how does any coach know a player playing well wont against Denver. This is damn crazy coaching from a guy with all the hatdward! Yet he with JK he coaches with the moment. Like I told Larry Kruger he has become a liar stepping all cover his words
Seems Golden State is the team that gives most media houses content..@ESPN and co..u guys need to pay GSW...we're soo tired of all your hate but u keep talking about them..and all the soo called mini podcast..GSW will keep giving u all content
