Stop whining, grow up, and act like men.
Kerr is not Jesus . He can’t make people behave or be good teammates
Warriors to poole GTFO
Players wants play-time and when they get it; didn’t contribute and plays badly. It also got to do with how familiar they are with the team system; just like Wiseman who took lots times and still didn’t get/could t play with the system…they are newbies who wants to play and when they do; they play their own style and wants to shine for themselves and might not help with the system…
I have never agreed with you two more! Save the youngsters. Justice for JP. That texter… preach.
Poole’s style of plays is the same last year/this year. With that said, he can’t plays defense last year or this year. Last year, it looks good on him because the rest of the teams was playing great; Curry/Klay/Wiggins/Green/Looney. So, he just got the free tickets to do Curry-style miles away 3s. It’s 50/50 for Him when he did that but the highlights for him was widen to make it looks so great. He did the same driving moves last year where he goes in the basket slipping/falling/turnovers but in-times got some good driving points. He can’t create plays like Curry yet but acts like he’s god; like Curry when he did a few-and-here plays/shots. How he plays this year reflects the actual skills he have if given to handle by himself without the other duos having great games; so therefore what we saw was his “Crappy plays” came out/in highlights when there was no great consistency by the core for him to ride-along. Ppl starts thinking he is great from last year’s run because of that but if you put him in a diff team who doesn’t have big stars to shine and for him to ride-along; last year’s progress pretty much tells how Poole’s skills are and how he plays.
Poole had an entire season to prove he was worth that contract, and he did not play up to par. Additionally, he was still given heavy minutes during the playoffs and did not produce, so his attitude was not warranted nor was kuminga
I love how Gu has to explain Black Ppl Lingo to Steiny and Crew. LMFAO
I agree with you 100 % about Poole and I blame the staff for it
Jordan Poole got punched and the the team sided with Draymond.
Such a crazy crossroads!
It's on management, Kerr and Iggy. Kerr lost the team early and was against the youth movement from the beginning. Iggy was paid to be a player coach for the youth… he was the wrong guy! Old guy trying to be cool with the kids. Always preaching about self and getting the bag. Bob really left last summer… he didn't deal with any of the troubles or holes on the team. He knew they're painted in the corner with the cap and big changes need to happen.
Poole is competitive… he was really amazing during the title run. He led the league in a lot of shooting stats at the end of the year run. He was always trying to shoot the Ts because he led the league in ft% beating out Curry and Klay. He's talented but his value is at an all time low.
Kuminga is also a major problem…I can't remember a player with worse body language. Kids got a lot of gifts and no one really knows his ceiling. I'd hate to give him away after not taking Wagner and missing on Wiseman over Haliburton and Ball.
Kerr is not getting through to kuminga because he ain't keepin it real. You can't say you have to earn your minutes. Then give ty Jerome minutes for no reason.
Talk about keeping things in house🤦🏽♂️ it wasn’t just Poole and Kuminga that wasn’t happy with playing time, JaMychal Green was also not happy with playing time.
Of course he was symbolically speaking
Truth be told, even though Poole's efficiency was down this season he helped them during the regular season this year! Are people forgetting Steph missed 26 games and Poole was averaging 26 ppg trying to keep the team afloat! He had some bad games but do you remember the Christmas game with no Steph and no Wiggs! That kid was amazing! Nobody's going to be perfect but Poole was there all 82 trying to give his best.
Guru, you’re on point👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
It sounds like Kerr doesn’t want any accountability for his decision making, it’s clear he made mistakes with the rotations and who he gave the most minutes to. He played Klay and wouldn’t sub him when he shot like crap all series long against the lakers and the last game going 3-19. People should be able to question Kerrs decisions.
This is one of the most exiting conversations I've heard in a while, about the Warriors.
I’m not a Warriors fan but I think although the young talent clearly got fat cat syndrome from winning a chip early it can’t go unnoticed how important Otto Porter was to their championship run. I hate to say it but the minute I seen the Warriors picked up JaMychal Green as his replacement I knew it was going to be a long season for the Dubs.
Kerrr got destroyed with 6’8 super athleticism sitting on bench! Klay and Poole got destroyed on D and cling, miss city!
Kerr stop this nonsense! Kerr your coaching was ugly
Kerr blaming young guys for his two way mess and small ball got schock and awe! Lakers handed Kerr his ass!!
Kuminga stays klay stays trade poole moody and draymond
So JK was one of the main reasons we made 6th place because Wiggins was out twice during the season and then Wiggs and GP2 comes back and now JK feels entitled? He earnwd playing time Kerr has to cut this out
JP gotta go simply cuz he’s causing a disconnect between players, coaching staff, and our fans. When have we ever seen Warriors fans go at it with each other over a player…we never been this disconnected
JP averaged 30 min so you can’t say they disrespected his role what is dude talking about Kerr relied on him for 95 straight games 😂
That's the problem hes3too busy trying to act like Curry he doesn't play defense
Please take the time to read im a die hard warriors fan if u are sitting there saying why is Kerr talking like this u have to know one thing poole was reportedly messing around with ice spice that celebrity gf had his head not focused the way it should have been
Does Steve Kerr or Joe Lacob own this team?
Let’s be real if Poole gets traded nobody will miss him y’all really think Poole is going to carry this team with his style of play turnovers no ability to guard anyone on the floor? Poole lacks leardership accountability and criticism now we baby him because of a punch grow up it’s the nba he got paid play your part
Okay the one who never had nothing nice to say about kuminga for whatever reason can't see past the fact that Kerr wasn't consistent with kuminga he made it clear with the actions we all saw kuminga was only convenient till Wiggins got back what do you think that did to his confidence Kerr was not professionalti and Kerr became my least favorite person really quick I think it's personal
Retire Kerr trade Green and Klay. Hire Becky Hammond. Move on!! Now we know why Myers left. Owners vs Vets and Kerr.
Kerr and Vets got in Poole"s head. A coach can't give you conference but damn sure can take it away. It's time for Green and Kerr to "GO"!!!
Maybe it’s time to get rid of Kerr
If we don’t keep moody and kuminga imma be mad af
Kerr and the vets hosed the youngsters. Look at what the Lakers, Heat, Pels, and the Kings did developing their younger players. Kerr didn't enable or communicate with these younger players.
Guru's on point.
Kerr is great at maximizing role players but not developing stars. JP was great focusing on his role as a 6th man. Not saying that’s a bad thing but the FO should have focused on older ready now players. In fact, the core 3 played in college and were older when they got drafted.
Halliburton, Trey Murphy, Herb Jones are a few names Warriors could have gotten if the FO wasn’t so obsessed with raw 19 year olds.
