Steiny & Guru debate how much blame falls at the feet of Golden State’s role players vs. stars. Why doesn’t everyone catch hell for going down 2-0?

Curry is being outplayed by Fox rn I don’t think this will continue
You mean the refs?
The Warriors law of attraction focuses too much on the past achievements. Thereby, their current energy leads to a crown earned in the past, but now the lack of effort today ends in losing. THEY ARE OUT COACHED. THEY LACK EFFORT.
The Warrior's stars, big three/four are leading each game in turnovers, poor fouling plays, poor defensive rebounding, poor defensive weakside positioning/execution, too much dribbling and waiting for rebound bounces to come to them.
What is thr first play this series…turnover. Ten of the Kings first 17 points were on transition poor defense and turnovers started by Steph, Dray, Clay, Wiggins, and Looney.
That is not the bench.
That effort is started by the foundation of the franchise. The looseballs, no blocking out, complaining/blaming and loosey goosey play leads to the destruction of team connectivity when players following the coaches are benched for mistakes but the five stars are not.
The Warriors are filled with drunken accolades, look back on past achievements, hyperbolic drained team who wants a vacation.
The Mike Brown led Kings will oblige. Remember Mike Brown led the Cavaliers against Golden State followed with years of knowledge within the Warrior's organization.
If correct, he understands how to implode Golden State, NOW!
They don't have the same chemistry and I blame it on Dreymond. When he punched Poole, we only got to see a glimpse of how the team chemistry is behind closed doors. My best bet is there have probably been waaay more and worse instances when he got out of hand against his teammates. He needs to get traded or blacklisted like Cousins. He is the root of the problem. Him fighting KD, management took Dreymonds side and didn't trade him. Him punching Poole, management sided with Dreymond and didnt trade him. Dreymond has been instrumental at getting rings but imagine if he was traded at key points. Warriors would have more rings than they do now.
Review Warrior boxscores. Inadvertently, add the turnovers only for the big six. Review their opponents transition points off turnovers and their points in the paint off put back rebounds.
Mediocrity is the result. Add; too much 3pt attempts with too few free throws that leads to losing a series against anyone.
Lastly, separate the turnovers of the big three from the remaining roster; the result is astoundingly clear. Their poor ball handling takes the life from this team. Lackadaisical effort on both ends of the court follows.
Poor coach management never corrects this habit.
Kerr's master plan of shooting out their way of fouls and turnovers is backfiring. Draymond's nonchalant turnovers and fouls are making the older Warriors play catchup the entire game. By the 4th qtr, they're out of gas
Energy flows where attentions go. The Warriors big three's attention is off the court not on it to win.
What if the kings are just a better overall team ? Lol
The refs literally allow physical grabbing and pushing, Steph is getting doubled and grabbed on every play… then, when the Warriors play defense, the refs call a foul if someone gets breathed on. But honestly, the Warriors have nothing to prove. They just won the chip LAST SEASON. Maybe they're content. 🤷♂️🙊
I honestly listened to this twice, to figure out what was being said and couldn't. Is Steiny saying that it's irrational to think that winning every year is unrealistic (I agree) or is he saying that it should be an expectation so we should ditch the players that aren't at their peak anymore (even if they define the team in the eyes of the fans)? I have questions.
Do fans buy the tickets and the merch watch on TV because the Dubs are perpetual contenders? Or do we watch because we look at the players as people we grew up with? We saw them as baby faced rooks and have years of memories with them? I wanna know what Steiny thinks.
I'd love to see our stars' bodies fail in time and see them hobble out to home base eventually, lift their cap off and wave goodbye to us (having never worn another jersey). And we can do that development thing we like to do with some kids in the meantime, draft 23 y/o Trayce Jackson-Davis this summer for some size, I like him.
Need some scoring in the post
