Nah, Warriors Twitter has to keep overreacting lmao. All the sht we were posting on Twitter, Kerr finally started doing, Wiggs scored 30, and Klay (temporarily) stopped taking dumbass shots. lol Warriors are losing because of Kerr's rotations and the starters were getting outworked. After 2 years of 82 games for Loon, he's out of breath in the 2nd qtr. JK, Wiggs, and Klay take TERRIBLE angles on defense. Usually their scoring masks their effort, the same way Steph's scoring masks his stupid turnovers.
My brotha. The voice of reason. Gotta wait till we got a whole team on a long term stretch before we can judge their capacity for winning meaningful games
But I’m ngl we lost to the suns twice
They will bounce back & be the same team they were last year. Little above average. Do not fool yourself into thinking their a championship contender
I think it's short sighted to simply say that Klay and Wiggins will be better and Draymond coming back will right the ship. It has been several seasons now since 2019 of failing to adjust to the changing league and just pretending like the core are as good and effective as they have ever been when that clearly isn't the case.
Kerr's rotations suck and the starting unit in particular is old and slow and get exposed as such every game. They have no consistent shot creation outside of Steph no one else is able to consistently get the defence in rotation. That's never been a strong suit of Klay or Wiggins. Of all people the only spark in that regard as been Podz a rookie, showing more effort and motivation than half the roster.
As long as they keep trotting out the same players running the same actions with the same poor defence on the other end they will keep losing games.
Steph as great as he is, is also turning the ball over and giving almost no effort defensively which is doubly bad when Kerr insists on putting him and CP out there together. Having CP replace Dray in the starting unit is everything to do with ego and contracts and makes very little sense from a basketball perspective. That is 3 bad defenders and 2 guys that are only giving half the effort they could be in Wiggins and Loon.
The team has to be blown up at this point. They say they want o contend but they don't want to make the difficult decisions to put the best possible team around Steph in perhaps the last year or two of his prime.
See what we look like at the end of January, Till then just chill the hell out , they will get it together 💪🏿
thanks for being a voice of reason Jason! i've been thinking we've had super tough schedule. people calling for kerr to be fired are absolutely bonkers.
Good Lord, Warriors won't come anywhere close to the Celtics this year
You said not to worry last year and even the players on the team acknowledged there was a ton to worry about during the season after they lost. I really don't care about the Warriors as I don't think they have any chance of winning without a big trade, but you have to acknowledge there are plenty of warning signs.
WARRIORS NBA CHAMPS 2024!! 👍👏🥳🥳🔥🔥🤩🤩
No shyt
Once again my expectations are low
The warriors fan base has gone to shit and I’m a warriors fan
No.
This is done and dusted if the actual goal is to contend for a ring. If the goal is to be first round exit team, then yeah everyone can calm down because things will be fine. Klay is not good enough on any contending team, the problem is he and even worse, Kerr don't see it that way. He still plays him the second highest minutes in the team despite outside of shooting, he is GARBAGE in every facet of the game. What's worse is he makes an SG defend PFs, and puts an old Steph Curry as a POA defender now for guards. Anyone want to flip a coin and see if Steph is either injured or completely gassed by the end of the season by this situation, because that's the only solution. Add Kerr continuously playing 3 guards and it being a disaster 3 years in a row. Too many issues to list but anyone who thinks this team doesn't need a trade ASAP is delusional. Someone needs to get Klay away from Kerr because the coach has lost his mind due to the lack of objectivity.
Finally a cool head with a measured approach. There is not only one way to win games. Kerr and company are still working on organizing their roster and allowing players to find their rythmn, get out of slumps, and full healthy roster. The calls for trades and firing is not now.
Thanks for the context. I was one of the Warriors fans that was kinda worried. This video helped.
Ship Wiggins to Thailand 🤧🤧
I think you need a larger sample size of games before you start freaking out. 😂 Bench guys seem to be playing consistently well so far. There was a recent game against the Cavs where GSW didn’t seem to have an answer. Or Cavs just clicking 🎉
Seriously. They have all the PROVEN pieces on place, and the depth is looking great. They currently are learning as a unit how to consistently handle bigger and more athletic teams, but once the GSW machine gets rolling, and establish a groove, it will be hard for teams to keep up. Trust me. They have the personnel to handle those taller teams… they will lock down the mistakes.
Every Warrior fan worthy of the name knows all those factors. If Wiggins and Klay start to play up to their potential then sure. But that’s an if not a when. Players age and Wiggins hasn’t been right since he had personal challenges last year. Hypothetically this indeed is a good team. But the games are not played hypothetically.
Additionally, Kerr has lost several games with bad coaching especially the OKC Chet non foul debacle. Kerr shocked the league with some great ideas a decade ago but he’s gotten stubborn. Last year with this same core was not a championship year, people. It was a disaster. I’d love to watch them start winning again, I just don’t take it for granted.
Its really cool to be a play in team that has to play 2 extra games just to make the play-offs.
