I feel like one of the few warriors fans that appreciates Dun Leavy’s moves, didnt over sell for Lauri and we have a lot of Depth, this reminds me of 2022, Steph at the helm with several players that play their role perfectly. We can possibly contend for another championship but everyone is going to have to lock in.
Steph isnt just the best shooter of all time, but hes the best SCORER of all time and the fact that people cant see this just blows my mind There is no human who can put the ball in the basket better that Steph and now that the Dubs have better scoring and defense around him, this team is gonna be scary
@@axelcastillo6369 Doesnt matter if you're a fan or not. Its just a fact that no human can score the basketball better than Steph curry. There is quite literally no argument for anybody except Kobe. Nobody in the history of the league could torch double teams better than Kobe and Steph and being the "best" at anything means you can do your thing more effectively in more situations than anyone else. Plus Curry doesn't get foul calls which: 1. Lowers his TS since misses caused by uncalled fouls still count as a miss 2. Emboldens players to play better defense on him (the opposite of the James Harded/LeBron effect where players dont defend you at all because they know the refs love em). 3. Lowers Steph's total PPG. If Steph got foul calls, hed avg 40pts a game. Seriously Steph and Kobe could score more effectively in more situations than any other players who ever lived. Thats just facts and any other player you name cannot do the same. Jordan and Bird would be 3 and 4 but they couldn't score 81 points while being double, triple, and QUADRUPLE Teamed like Steph and Kobe
@@jdrmanmusiqking do you mean like Steph like move without the ball moving throw screen and I agree with him being the best offensive player of all time but the the different way to score not just shooting.
Excited for the new season for sure. I'm happy for Klay, I hope he does well and looking forward for the first game against him. It's gonna be both strange and amazing.
When Steph and Dray are together on the court, they're still one of the best line up, but they can't play the whole 48 min. Need a legit second scoring option.
I love Podz, but there should be 0 reason Podz starts at the 2 over Buddy Hield. He's the closest thing to what Klay used to be and one of the best shooters in the league. As an underrated defender as well, he should be next to Steph while Podz comes off to bench to give Steph a break
@@iamtheonlywillyhis dad was extremely sick in the middle of an nba season, and he just died a few days ago. the reason for his leave was announced over a year ago so quoting family problems just proves ur a casual lol. quit acting like u know ball u don’t belong here
@@iamtheonlywilly what the fuck dude. I don’t like his absences either, but his dad was sick and just recently passed away. What the hell is wrong with you
@@iamtheonlywilly keep that same energy when your coworkers say that about you when you take days off from work to attend "family problems" you feeble minded simpleton 🙄
Their age is showing. They're gassed before the end nowadays. Curry is more inconsistent and you can't count on Dray to be mature and responsible. He acts up like a child and gets ejected for multiple games. The warriors are absolutely not winning another championship with Curry. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't even make the play-in this year.
0:04 LOVE this pose after this basket against Canada in the Olympics. Thanks for including it! Great video. Let’s go Dubs, let’s get another ring in 2025!
buddy u realize that bench players exist right? not to mention how u completely missed his point to yap about how 73 points from a starting lineup isn’t enough…

The "second breakout" year for Kuminga is imaginary if they want Podz shooting 10 3s. If JK were on a different team last year, that would be considered his breakout, and the numbers would look bigger across the board because hes the main option. He fought from being 5th to 2nd by the end of the year, or 3rd if you think Klay was still the 2nd. Point im making is: if he got the keys that were given to Podz, thatd be a better chance. But now he has to fight for his buckets against the likes of Wiggs, Hield and a disgruntled Moody
Golden state I think is still steps ahead of the rest of the nba with choosing certain players to play and make championship runs, but the only thing that happened unfortunately is draymond green ruined the championship runs for the past 2-3 years or so, and unfortunately will probably ruin it this season too. Seriously. I sort of gave up on the warriors magic once klay and dray got a little too big headed with the 4 rings, then draymond started his podcast, and things went downhill.
Draymond punched the talent out of this team. It's over. Steph is still the 🐐but he also still needs help. That isn't possible with Draymond's presence in the locker room.
It's really not as fun as it may seem to make jokes about Draymond Green being a "full on psychopath" or knocking people out. Because A. It has happened and making fun of Jordan Poole getting punched in the head isn't that awesome a joke and B. Draymond has done some soul searching and appears to really be trying to be calmer. Whether he succeeds or not, we don't know, but it just seems like an unpleasant choice to mock him. Cheap shot, as it were.
I understand the idea here and would love it if you were right. But I don’t see the Warriors beating OKC this year or for a while, Dallas is a serious threat, Minnesota can smack most teams around, and the Spurs are going to be a dark horse for a deep playoff run this season. Denver still has some potential too. At this point the Warriors have one top ten guy in Curry, one guy we hope will be top twenty five this year in Kuminga, and a bunch of guys whose realistic ceilings are maybe top fifty, but most will be slightly above league average at their primes, at best. That still makes them amazing players, but I don’t see the difference makers on defense or offense, besides Curry and Kuminga, who get this team to the Finals. Just look at the OKC roster, so many young guys that no one talks about maybe they can make that next leap, because they were already there last year or two years ago. No sane person can compare the two rosters and not admit that OKC has way more offense, way more defense, way more depth. And this is what is supposed to happen to dominant teams like the Warriors were who draft at the bottom of the first round ten out of eleven years or whatever it was. This is what the draft system is supposed to result in.
We need JK, if he grows some size, he could be a mini Giannis, he shoots better than Giannis did, just need to work on his defense, as we already have Dray and TJD, yes we need some size, yes I would like to see Post on the floor, but not at the cost of JK, who literally gave up his max demand because he wants to be a warrior
@@ItsChineseGuy I respectfully disagree I think JK is who he is maybe he takes a huge jump But if the Warriors could get some pics and a quality vet I say make the trade
Blah Blah no big changes. Let's check back in mid season and see. No big moves unless they pick up a superstar and trading the dead weight they have. Hahaha An aggressive Podz thats hilarious....Podz cant play defense or shoot in the lane or outside.Wiggins will check out again and still no true big man....snooooooozer of a season
AND NO SIZE!!! A starting lineup of Green at the 5 will get crushed. Melton (if healthy) is better than Podziemski offensively and defensively. Kuminga is still a questionable 3-point shooter and defender. The bench may be the best improvement on this team.
Draymond is too old for his style of play on defense to work great, but the real facts are that ten plus years of drafting 28-30 in the first round cannot be overcome. The other teams, at least a few of them, will end up with more talent. OKC, for example, has. Unless the Warriors get Paulo Banchero for Wiggins and then Evan Mobley for TJD, the Warriors are not beating OKC in a series this year, next year, the year after…
@@tribalypredisposed Not only is Draymond too old for his style of play, he's single handedly turned the Warriors from most desirable to least desirable for players wanting to develop to their highest potential. Playing too well and outshining Draymond consistently proves fatal.
yup, the second best player in the team, is definitely limiting the team. still I agree, Warriors is going nowhere if there isn’t any trade or major signing this season.
He’s the beast defender on the team and the second overall best player 😂😂 stop allowing your personal hate jade the truth….Wiggins and Looney BOTH are limiting the team with their inconsistent play, availability (Wiggins) and overall impact.
@@kcross4293 I agree with you. He is the best defender on the team, and that's a big problem. Because of his toxicity, the Warriors can't recruit or develop more talented players without it becoming a personal threat to him. If Draymond feels outshined, he goes into team sabotage mode. How talented Draymond is doesn't matter when everyone has to walk on eggshells to prevent him from melting down. When did Wiggins start to suck? Answer: Right after Draymond knocked out JP and the Warriors organization did nothing about it.
The biggest issue of this off season is doing the water trade too prematurely. Literally ever other transaction after that made it looked worse. We had to give back more assets just to grab the 52nd pick back but now can't even sign post a player we need because players like waters and gui takes up all the minimum contract space...
If Jackson Davis gets at least 35 min a game and Kuminga plays small forward they’ll make it to the western finals. But since Kerr prefers playing small ball with Kuminga as a center, they’ll be a play-in team again. Wiggins should come off the bench for 15 min max. He’s a liability as much as Kerr is. And Don’t bring up Kerr’s number of titles. Other than having the best shooter ever, he’s also had Draymond which is a combo of Magic &Rodman. Not mentioning KD who’s the most talented player ever, Klay, and others.
The only thing that M.J. is better than Curry is rebound because he's bigger and stronger. All the rest belongs to Steph. There will never be another player like Curry. He's the real H.O.F. and the real M.V.P.😊
Yeah, and small ball worked with young fast players taking advantage of lumbering centers and power forwards of yesteryear. But those players are not so young anymore and the centers and power forwards are fast, and long. Chet and Wemby both are kryptonite to small ball, able to defend the perimeter and recover to the rim if the guard gets past. Jokic has the goods on offense to stay on the floor. The twin towers in Minnesota have been working well too. Bpodz lacks the size they need at guard on defense and offense. It doesn’t matter if he can shoot 45% from three this year, he cannot switch onto forwards without them having shooting practice over him. All the other guards…it is a collection of too small.
Green is a water down lebron james, In his prime he could pass he can guard one through five, Even can shoot the three a little bit, No it's not to set people up. Etc
I really like the Kyle Anderson move. He’s an adequate offensive threat assuming he has enough time to load up that shot, and he’s a really good defensive player and the only person on Golden State that can give Luka trouble. Still see no universe where this team is close to the top four and most likely they’re in the play-in again.
Dame wasn't the catch. his defense is so bad. it's actively aggressively lazy. I like that bench. they aren't dumb players either. They worked a lot of systems.
If Steph does ‘22 form. Podz matches 40% on 6-8 attempts. Kum bucket takes another step on both ends. Wiggs does something. Dray just doesn’t ruin it. We have a chance at a 2nd round or conference championship run. Past that though we’d probably have to trade moody/TJD/GP2/loon/wiggs plus all our picks for a star
Ok so you said “Steph is the most EXPLOSIVE scorer in the NBA (when he gets hot) “ My only question is… who’s the most EXPLOSIVE scorer in the NBA when they’re NOT hot? Cuz it kinda sound like a pointless thing to say
This team is like the play in team we had in 2021 but just a little bit better we still failed to improve the main problems and the small ball is ridiculous
Jonathan Kuminga wants a max contract if he doesn’t get it he will be a free agent which means if the team is not willing to pay him, he will be traded .
@@The12 yes he could prove himself to attain a max contract. From the teams perspective they can’t allow him to become a free agent and lose him for nothing, which means the time frame or deadline is the trade deadline.
