GS still has no bigs and size. Not moved at all.
Windy always glazing
Weve never seen it before so how can anyone say it definitively wont work? We ran an 11 man rotation in 2015 and weve run 10 almost all of Kerrs time here so how does a couple more solid players just completely destroy a team? Lol
okc had 11 man rotation last year and were 1st seed.
It’s about playing 12 until they find the right rotations. It won’t happen all season
These analyst are not doing research at all. Have they seen how fast the warriors play? Of course the only way to sustain the energy and intensity of that is to play many guys.
Well duh everyone know that but it allows everyone to be ready so if injuries happen they are already used to playing with the others
I have said it before now, don't sleep on the warriors…
HE CAN PLAY 12 man but he DIDNT play JT
It’s a team sport and I like the idea of getting everyone involved. Over the season I think it will raise their level of play and give them a great confidence boost. The Warrior vets do not need to be on the court the majority of the time. They’re getting older and rotating makes sense. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Warriors mess around and win the chip from this. I think it’s a good strategy.
See, any injury and that 12 turns into a 10 real quick. And I feel like having a deeper rotation will keep our guys healthier too, y'know? I'd much rather have 12 playable guys than 6 lol
They have a winning culture it’s going to work lol or they will be shipped out.
I mean, the 2014 spurs had an incredibly deep rotation when they won and they played a similar style. Move the ball, move players, screens, up and down the court. I feel like this is kinda what the new apron rules want everyone to be doing. Deeper, less top heavy teams with talent spread out.
less injuries and more fresh to the playoff if Warriors is able to get there..
All I know is before they came they said a jump shooting team couldn’t win the championship…and they shot that down. I don’t know why it wouldn’t work, somebody needs to tell Legs that it ain’t 1998 no more. There are enough possessions to sustain the 12 man rotation in today’s NBA.
Kerr learning from Spostra w/the 12-man rotation out of necessity.
This is the fourth year in a row ESPN is promoting Luka for the MVP. How can you be the favorite before any games?
We not listening to this nonsense 😂
OKC is the deepest team. GS are playing 12 guys because they don't have no clue what they have. The blew out Portland. Big deal. Portland wins maybe 20 games this year.
This is Chef Currys 5th ring season. Im betting on Steph Curry for MVP
But homie didn’t wanna put Jayson Tatum in smh Kerr you a joke
Obviously a major trade will take place by the deadline for GSW. This is the big trial of who will be there in the mix.
3:23 …Was thinking the same thing
WARRRRRIORRRRRSSSS
Fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
They are a Warriors team in the best sense. Everyone is bought in. There are a lot of minutes over the year.
This is the way
The warriors 12 man rotation is excellent excellent. The warriors will win another NBA championship. Warriors vs Boston NBA finals 2025
I believe Kerr fielded a 12-man rotation in the 2014 season when they won a championship. So long as all the players buy in to the same goals, keep healthy/ in shape & focused, & work/play smart & do well including even if suddenly called to play then it will work. (edit:) And considering the trend this season regarding injury, the 12-man rotation is prescient plus it leaves their vets fresh especially towards the end of the regular season.
Guys, GPII is a center, not a guard.
People keep on sleeping with this team, but if the Warriors can get some wins, maybe they'll encourage the front office to make a trade
They're a star away from being a top contending team again, literally the uncanny Kansas City Chiefs of the NBA
Malika is funny for that "midseason form on and off the court" lol
Same was said about not being able to win with a jump shooting team. Norms are meant to be broken.
Miami is dôme. They're old AF and Bam is the most overrated player in the last couple of seasons.
The two players who may be hurt by it most would be Wiggins and Kuminga.. The Warriors have a bunch of high IQ guys that can instantly impact the game in minimal time. GP2, Moody, Buddy Hield, Podz, Melton, Kyle Anderson…those guys don’t really need time to get a rhythm…
So you're telling me Kerr is going with a 12 man rotation now and couldn't find minutes for Tatum in the Olympics? 😂
Kerr never said he was going to use 12 the entire year. He literally runs the entire bench early year every freaking year.
Yeah this one will be different it’s gonna be one without Klay 😢
It's funny, they say an 12 man rotation in a 48 min game won't work but they thought a 12 man rotation in a 40 min game when ever game counts would work. #hypocrites
NINE FREAKING RINGS!!!!!!
espn gets literally everything wrong. perk is definitely the dumbest sports commentator in history and he is competing with gil and jj
BS.. teams should use all their players so everyone is fresh. Watching exhausted players while other pros sit watching is foolish.
and he couldnt play some superstars in the olympics…
