Warriors are just broken. It's a shooting team with 1 consistent shooter now, 2 extremely small non shooters, and 2 inconsistent shooters on the wings. Their roster isn't built for their own strategy anymore. It's not fouls

[@glcsander]

Andrew Wiggins regressing dindt help eather, he was the second best player in their championship run but the warriors relegate him to be the 3rd or 4th option you can see that it's hard for him to take over as he doesn't have enough shots to get in ritm.

[@judyclarkson5887]

They choked 5 gms away. That's what makes it seem like they are broken. 2 gms vs OKC (that Chet ridiculous buzzer 3 to bring it to OT and Dray's stupid foul to get him 3 fts to tie the game), that Clippers game where PG hit a game-winner too after they led by double digits almost all game, and last night against Denver and that Kings game after another ridiculous shot by Monk over great defense by Wiggs. You could say that they in shambles but one also could say they've been extremely unlucky that they've lost so many gms from good winning position and seem to be hit by magical shots after magical shots in the last seconds of the game. It's not like they've been blown out in all those games either. They need to tighten up, forget those stupid losses, Curry needs to stop playing hero ball when all they need to do to keep those leads is trying to get easy baskets instead of trying to impress with his 3s, and Kerr needs to be more sensitive in detecting the situations, his subs at the critical moments of the game this season have been dubious at best. Plus they need Draymond (the un-psychopath one) and GPII back as they are their 2 best defenders.

[@penkima4923]

@@glcsander According to the Nuggets game, the Warriors would be a contender. They are missing Dray and GP2, and they lead the current champions by 18 points at the start of the 4th quarter. The Warriors are a notch below .500, but the West is also flat as a plain. Steve Kerr is a pathetic coach. But the Warriors as a team are doing alright already. But to be a solid contender, they are two players short. They need somebody, who can defend centers. And they either need a scorer, or a real coach. Steph needs to be benched in the clutch, so either the new real coach comes up with a play, or their new scorer takes over.

I agree with essentially everything that’s being said by Gil except that Steph DOES attack the rim often and scores excellently in the paint as a guard but to me, he doesn’t get nearly as many calls as he should. He’s gotten bigger and stronger to take on more punishment and still be able to finish or get his shot up but I’ve felt for a long time he doesn’t get the same foul treatment most superstars do get

[@ttmho96]

Until GS came along. You can't win like that if the smalls are too fast and can shoot 3s w high efficiency. 3s are more than 2s. They're a threat outside so Bigs are forced come out of the paint to defend, leaving space to drive and cut. That's why GS has been so good all these yrs. The league has caught up bc the kids now are fast, big, shoot 3s and can pass like guards. Look at the new breed of bigs - Jokic, Embiid, Wemba, Chet etc

[@RossyColtrane]

Warriors were up 18 I think in the 4th. Kerr should have told the team, "hey, just run the clock out every possession. Don't take any 3's with more than 5 seconds on the sc. Make sure they don't get any fast breaks". But instead he said "We have a comfortable lead. Lets just be ourselves out there guys."

[@tylito4764]

That's not how basketball works bud. 24 seconds ain't gonna run the clock out. You watch football too much

[@mrfatuchi]

What are you on about? 20 point leads mean nothing in todays game. They got that lead because they had like 4 three pointers in a row while Nuggets were in a slump.

[@silewis9396]

They WERE milking the clock against the Nuggets. Steph their own lead guard admitted doing that helped Denver get their defense set instead of playing with the pace that got them the lead in the first place

[@AllStarKydd]

When you’re up 18 with 6 minutes left in the game, you don’t continue shooting 3s. End of game management is running set offensive schemes, milking the clock and getting to the free throw line. It’s not waiting till there’s 5 secs on the shot clock to then shoot a 3. Missed 3s create long rebounds which leads to more fast breaks and transition buckets and fouls for the opponent. Why anyone would want to continue chucking 3s at the end of a game, when they already have a significant lead is beyond me. If that continues to occur, that’s at the fault of bad coaching. Even if it’s Steph, he needs to minimize shooting 3s at end of games when they have very significant leads. He should be attacking the paint, forcing the other team to play defense (which we know the majority of teams don’t do soundly these days) and putting pressure on the referees to blow the whistle. Even with the horrible whistle the dubs get, they still just need to continue putting pressure on that rim at the end of games. End of game line up as of today (w/Dray, CP3 and GPII currently n/a) should be Steph, Klay, Wiggins, Kuminga & TJD. All this talk about Wiggins’ & Kuminga’s redundancy when on the floor together and their +/- together not being the best, I can give two shits about. This is the regular szn, the time to work out that chemistry on the floor together. They’re champions, they’re talented, so they need to figure it the fuck out cus they need to be on the court together. Their length, their rim pressure, TJDs length and verticality, alongside Steph and Klay’s gravity and shooting capabilities especially at the FT line, is why this line up needs more reps together especially at the end of games

My only problem with the whole conversation is if you back and watch the game, you realize that kerr was venting about THAT game. Even though he spoke about it as though it's all the time, THIS particular game WAS a real problem. A few times, they gave shooting fouls while not in the penalty and not even close to the act of shooting. Other times, the players made sure not to make contact at all (no foul). And the refs aren't going to review or replay those calls because they don't have to. Honestly, it has happened in other games, and they have chosen not to challenge. When no one actually makes any sort of contact, it makes you question if the refs are rigging the game.

[@chiosaechao3995]

I want to bet that this is not how the core of Draymond, Steph, and Klay will end their last chapter. They're clearly still motivated to win and just have to figure things out, along with management and the coaches.

[@LadyVirgilia]

you clearly don't watch the games this year, neither do you realize this season the Warrior's bench players are outscoring other team's benches by 30-40 points a game. This is arguably the deepest bench Steph has ever played with. It's their old veteran players (including their vet coach Kerr) that's completely tanking their season. Wiggs, Dray, and Kerr. Even Steph because he's not demanding anything change in the Front Office or coaching staff. Apparently Klay is out of his negative energy funk... and he did well last night, but we'll have to see how that translates as the season goes on. This past Nuggets game Kuminga was the 2nd best player. Got Murray in foul trouble all game that Malone had to sit him out almost all 3rd quarter. And then what does Kerr do? Not play Kuminga all 4th quarter while playing Looney of all people, allowing Murray to help his team get back from 18 points down, meanwhile Dubs had two non-shooters on the floor letting the Nuggets swarm Curry.

Did you notice, Josiah decided to include a clip from last year? Because as pointed out by randomdogma, this was a clip of Steve Kerr talking after the Nuggets game last year a week ago. Not Warriors versus Nuggets in 2024.

[@raybaby1866]

The league wants warriors especially along with the league to shoot more threes in general. But teams like Denver play outside and inside. So getting foul calls their offense is design for them to get foul calls in all key moments.

[@iAmAyoDigital]

Kerr was absolutely right… regardless of anyone’s opinions about him.

[@penkima4923]

The officiating is one of Adam Silver several failures, but Kerr had the wrong timing, to bring it up after a game like this. Jokic finally was awarded more than 10 free throws. He's way behind the top in free throws for the season, and he's one of the few actually posting up. But yeah, the officiating has drifted far away from the actual rule-book. There's more unwritten rules now, than actual rules.

That Rhino comment 😂

[@Yahdir]

I ALREADY KNEW THAY KURR HOW TO COACH SINCE LAST SEASON ESPECIALLY IN THAT LAKERS SERIES

[@MrCasey__]

Warriors need a big man

[@chinaskibukowski7747]

Anyone that says Mark Jackson put Draymond in the position to be a hall of famer is 100% ignorant. Andrew Bogut said Green was asking for a trade because Jackson wasn't playing him. Mark Jackson was a joke of a coach.

[@user-ud9dx3cx8v]

Your the joke

[@chinaskibukowski7747]

YOU'RE a brain dead moron.@@user-ud9dx3cx8v

[@DiamondEDC]

Some solid points... but to act like defense is played at the same intensity as it was in the 90s/00s is ridiculous

[@mikex1463]

Its wishful thinking but... I think to improve defense around the league you'll having to take fouling out, out of the rule book. Then players will dig deeper on that end of the floor without having to worry about losing minutes. That way we'll see stars guarding stars etc... 😅 my opinion

[@toolegit7668]

The roster is the problem. They're trying to transition it to Moody and Kuminga instead of just getting immediate help for Steph. Warriors need to go for broke with Steph.

[@da_jeezuss8922]

Mark Jackson gave Steph and Klay the confidence to be the greatest shooters ever by giving them the biggest green light ever and Kerr got them all to buy into ball movement. Neither of them are really great coaches but they were both important to the Warriors success.

[@CedRockStarr]

Gil saved this entire segment

[@rycha853]

He should have been watchin Nuggets D in that 4th quarter. That was how to play D in todays nba

[@Nolimitcrew225]

The only one who can get it free throws is kuminga m, but they refuse to let him play…dude has all star potential.

[@penkima4923]

Why would you use the word they? Is it the assistant coaches, who benched him? Steve Kerr is the problem, so say it.

[@Ray1T0__]

Gil always speak facts

[@Aliaz93moneyfingerz]

I felt everything but the part about Gsw not getting fouled....steph gets at least four no calls per game..they be beating his ass and refs don't say shit...they do the same to lebron....to deny that is crazy..call the same calls constantly throughout the league

[@wlseow2738]

Only Gil talks basketball in this group.

[@benbackpack9922]

Never thought I’d say I agree with Shad

[@hoodyfrog7036]

Every warriors fan was screaming for them to get a decent big because the writing was on the wall during the playoffs last year

[@Zucchiniisdelicious10]

Rashad was spot on here!

[@Thedeso18]

So is it that there to small or is the ref fuckin with them… cause it can’t be both.

[@nitoshadow]

Nah the nba is more geared to offense not defense No hand checks Petty fouls Bs continuations Hard to contest at the rim without fouling cuz even wen u go straight up they sometimes call fouls Letting the offensive player travel before dribbling

[@FoolOnCool]

Gil gotta add some context, Shaq got them calls for actually being fouled because he was so physical in the paint. Guys were slapping him, punching, grabbing, and all the above.

[@space3058]

He inherit a team and everyone praised him like he did everything….put some respect on Mark Jackson’s name he put Steve in the situation he was in

[@KC22292]

Lot of valid points being made...but lets be forreal the foul calls against the warriors have been extremely sus in the past few seasons...Steph Curry cant even get a flagrant foul with clear evidence and a review!!! Almost like the powers at be do not want the warriors to win another championship....but of course the narratives will always exist...

[@taylorstake1]

I agree with Gil to a certain extent. But let’s all tell the truth, NBA has definitely soften up as far as players even trying to play defense. Teams averaging 120+ points a game is crazy

[@franklinrodriguez6697]

Also give a call to ... Lloyd Pierce Charles Lee Terry Stotts Nate McMillan Chris Quinn Sam Cassell

[@wannasleep4471]

Its ok when it works for him but when it doesn’t its a problem
