The Golden State Warriors Are Doing What We Never Expected.. | NBA News (Klay Thompson, Poole)

Get Athletic Greens (AG1) for yourself here: athleticgreens.com/hoopsdigest
The Golden State Warriors 2023 NBA season has gone in almost every direction you could’ve possibly expected, and then some. From injuries, to inconsistent play, to their ridiculous home and road record, it just seems to be getting crazier by the day. But in the midst of all this, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Jordan Poole, & company might have just found their new blueprint to find success as we approach the 2023 NBA Playoffs.
Now Golden State has attempted to throw many different combinations of offense on the court in 2023, but we might be seeing their most unstoppable plan yet. And this plan involves separating the play of Steph Curry, Jordan Poole, & Klay Thompson more than we’ve potentially ever seen it. And by doing this, Steve Kerr is also opening the possibilities for the Warriors roles players to thrive around their stars in guys like Donte Divincenzo, Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, Jamychal Green, Ty Jerome, Anthony Lamb, & even Draymond Green & Kevon Looney.
The point being, whether it involves the Warriors offense or defense, the successful game plan has been seen in the past. It’s now just about finding a rotation that can consistently deliver to the degree of what is needed while waiting to hear of news regarding the return of Andrew Wiggins & Gary Payton II.

It was a nice comment "we will figure it out". When that scenario reach its fulfillment, all these critics and myself included will eat their hard out once my Warriors make a last resort to correct everything.

[@martincrawford5004]

I heard a rumor that kerr been switching line up on purpose during away games to see what will work against some of the high profile teams for the playoffs. He thought they will win some with the switches, but it didn't happen. He knows what works at home to win. If they get into the playoffs, I think he knows what works.

[@shyamnatarajan5149]

Steve Kerr has always done that. He even switch lineup last season to experiment😂😂😂

[@thegreatbambi5674]

He has definitely been switching it on purpose. I'd rather him do it now though instead of after the playoffs start.

They need Wiggins. Him, GP and Klay are your primary wing defenders. With wigs guarding small ball 3/4 hybrids.

[@J-MONEYKING23]

Warriors don’t care what seed they are. They just gotta get in. Once they get in never know.

[@Brsrafal]

If Wiggins comes back they can win it all again

[@penguinista]

Maybe there is something about the way the Warriors travel that is keeping their players from getting effective rest on the road.

[@deezhands6060]

I know wiggins is going through a lot rn… but Golden State is going nowhere without him

[@mikiec125]

Totally agree with you

[@theevil-g-nius7085]

I doubt that. They won 3 without him and one without Klay! Will it be a little more difficult, sure but not out of the realm of possibilities.

[@mikiec125]

@@theevil-g-nius7085 if anyone can GS can if things go right. But they need a defender who can bother KD, Paul George/Klaw,LBJ(IF they rise up) Tatum/Brown, Middleton/Greek. I like Payton/ Klay on defense. I'm not sold that Klay is healthy enough for the task and GP is to short. Plus size. GS needs a 3rd 6 foul center. With Curry,Klay and Dray being older they need help.

[@keyshawnjohnson5360]

@@theevil-g-nius7085 they never won without klay what you talking about? And if one of their starters is missing, they have never won. So what do you mean? 😂

[@deezhands6060]

@@theevil-g-nius7085 have you seen this current warriors team. They have very little depth, struggle to close out games defensively, and lack size. The warriors never won a championship without Klay. And when they won w/o wiggins 2/3 years they had KD. And the other year, they were one of the deepest teams in basketball with a big wing in Harrison Barnes & Iggy was still contributing. This CURRENT warriors team that can’t win a road game is a FIRST ROUND EXIT without Wiggins.

[@newmedia7238]

Double D is underrated

[@lee9617]

Kuminga has improved the most out of anyone on the team since last season wtf is Nick wright on about

[@miltoninterests]

They need Payton in the rotation.

[@Martooo251]

It’s really not difficult to understand for anyone who watches the games. Away from him we get killed on the perimeter and that’s because we’ve missed wiggins most of the year and GPII the whole year. That’s the two best perimeter defenders. Role players shoot much better statistically across the league when playing at home and that’s shown because there’s been a lot of games teams have shot 40% behind the arc against the warriors. Again GPII and wiggins help solve that.

[@micahlinder9440]

I think warriors go all the way they are just built different when they are in the playoffs

[@monarkev]

Everyone’s talking about JP3, but I think Donte is a better player. More shot creation, rebounding on both ends, can serve as a shooter and a passer, he’s the perfect compliment to Steph and Klay

[@haydenalejandrino7819]

in the context of "experimenting rotations", until wigs comes back, perhaps klay should lead the 2nd unit. just to mix things up.

Jaylen Brown your next video Hoops Digest 🙏🙏🙏

[@ProxyFinal]

I have been watching every game trying to figure out what they are doing and seeing how people are reacting. Nothing but doubts on the Warriors game after game. I will be surprised if they are intentionally trying to figure out something.

[@jieqiiii]

They're definitely intentionally trying to figure stuff out. The noticeable stuff that has been figured out is how much of a defensive force Kuminga can be, how reliable Donte is as a starter and how consistent JaMychal is as a role player.

[@pianielmdk]

Are you also Hoops Report?

[@carlesgana2891]

Genuine question, *do you guys think Warriors will win another ring this season?*

[@J-MONEYKING23]

I love this please count em out.

[@DorseysResource]

Kuminga should start in place of Wiggins with Looney Draymond Steph and Klay. If Steph gets hurt start Jordan Poole and Klay along with Looney Dray and Kuminga. Jordan Poole and Klay have good chemistry together on the court whenever Steph is hurt. By starting Kuminga in place of Wiggins this will allow Kerr to go deeper into his bench if necessary when adjustments are needed as their coaching staff sees fit.

[@shaibenmeir8993]

Woriors NBA champs❤❤

[@yoshimeier3060]

I think Poole is struggling with the role he has when Steph is on the floor. And since has been out so much, he probably had an even harder time adjusting. He had to run the team alot and now suddenly is a secondary scorer withe the ball mostly outta his hand again. I think they played really nice the last couple of games with Steph facilitating more and Poole being more a traditional pointguard. Both then let the game come to themselves and there is at all times a large penetration threat.

[@user-yk6us2zm8r]

I agree, without wiggs, they are not going to make it. I am a die hard Warrior fan. Have been for years. I really want to see them avoid the play-in. If we could just STOP FOULING and TURNING OVER the ball so much, especially in crucial moments. I am not going to lose Faith just yet. GO WARRIORS!!!!!

[@theevil-g-nius7085]

I still think the Warriors 3 biggest issues are stupid turnovers, half assed defense on the road and the lack of an athletic big man for rim protection. Lazy ass passes into coverage, cross court passes and sloppy ball handling by Poole are killing them. They need to protect the ball better and force stops if they do turn it over. The amount of points given up due to those turnovers and poor defensive plays are nuts. Then of course the center issue, I love Looney to death! He is a beast and he is effective...to a point! He doesn't have the height, speed or athleticism as some of the other centers in the league. The Dubs need someone who can go get the rebound instead of just having good positioning for one. We need someone to meet players at teh rim for blocks. I still think the Warriors is one of the most dangerous teams in the league, but they need to buckle down and stop saying we got this and go out there and PROVE they got this

[@vincentrogers5491]

I feel u, but we don’t NEED a big like that looney was enough last year, shi looney and zaza got it done even mcgee got some, we need wiggs and gp2 to come back healthy. With those 2 plus improved jk we’ll b just as tough as last year imo

[@theevil-g-nius7085]

@@vincentrogers5491 100 with Wiggs and GP2! I am hoping Wiggins surprises us all and shows up come playoff time. I still think we need a big that has more speed and agility with some hops. I would never say get rid of Looney because is so brilliant at what he does and is effective, I just think he needs help. When he is off the floor we need someone reliable to fill his spot. J. Green is ok, but he is still not the size or athleticism needed IMO

[@neilsonmartin23]

[@gideon7359]

[@darika3672]

Just minimize playing time of JPoole in 4th quarters. Seriously he is neck to neck with Westbrook when it comes to throwing the ball away during crucial times.

[@T1Oracle]

The team has played worse with Steph on the floor. Poole especially plays worse with Steph on the floor, also plays worse off the bench and always has. Unfortunately, most of the bench follows Poole's energy. The exception to that is Donte and recently Kuminga.

[@peteandpuy]

Divincenzo is vastly underpaid. He'll make twice as much next year

[@ECHESTER32]

my death lineup 3.0 curry donte klay draymond kuminga/wiggins

[@stacymartin5993]

The conspiracy theorists in me wants to think the warriors are purposely TRYING to position themselves for the 6th seed. It makes sense to be the 6th seed, since 1) you avoid the play-in tournament, 2) you most likely match up against Sac and Memphis in the first two rounds, both teams whose youth should work against them in the playoffs, and 3) you avoid playing Denver or Suns until the conference finals. If you're the warriors, that's the best path to a Finals return.

[@ajuister]

Depth just ain’t there rn. No Wiggins and they won’t get out of the play in much less the first round. Next year I hope they refocus and start playing stellar defense again
