James Wiseman’s future with Warriors, Jonathan Kuminga’s impact and Golden State’s small ball lineup

Focusing on the problems too much. Just got out and play lose and fun and smart. Re Wiseman, you may be seeing who he is. I hope he is able to really she us something. He is starting to look glassy. A five year timeline on Wise is ridiculous. If that is the ceiling them let him go.
You haven't even given Wiseman a chance to show what he can do. I agree with Monte, Wiseman is part of the future.
To me it seems like they do really well and then quit. Before the game is over. Sigh….I've already resigned to no Playoffs this year as the team "Builds"… but go ahead. Surprise me! 💥💫💪🏼💙💛
THEY NEED TO PLAY WISEMAN! He can contribute now. He was beginning to learn the defensive side before his latest injury. They need his offense. He is not such a misfit because defenses have to respect his role. Plus, the Warriors need some post scoring. At least 5 touches a game down there. They are playing themselves by not playing him. If 5 of Klay or Wiggin’s shot would have gone to Wiseman, they would have won that game. Perspective is everything.
dump Wiseman
Coach needs to chew out the veterans the way he did Jordan… Seems like coach is afraid to….
EGO. Kerr needs to treat the OGs like the rookies. Like Kerr said to Poole. "KEEP YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME!" Say the same to Curry, Draymond, and Klay. The BIG THREE are the problem
"
Why is it that Meyers never insured to add a 7 foot veteran center to help bring along Wiseman’s development? His infatuation for midget players is the reason why we are in this predicament. Wasted several picks on 6’6” players with 7’ wingspan instead of solidifying the front court
you can tell Kerith is getting fed up with the Wiseman watch, as is a number of Dubs fans. you can't blame her. i was done with him after he got hurt in practice! almost every player that was drafted with him has already adopted to the NBA. all the coaching he's gotten, does not seem to help. he makes the same dumb mistakes every time Kerr gives him minutes.
In spite of all of the warrior fans, as well as some very talented prognosticators in sports media, the Warriors are going to be who we think they are, who we see they are a team that no longer is at the top echelon that the league and it’s likely to lose, as they are likely to win.
To Kerith….The Big Three are the ones that have to realize this years championship and so far they are failing…they are a 500 team. Do NOT mortgage the future. the 3 have been given a decent and improving bench. Kerr needs start coaching his stars!
The issue is ball movement and man movement
They are losing down the stretch because they stop moving and sharing the rock. Generating easier buckets. I have never seen so many dribbles in a warrior team before
Wiggins is winded. He hasn’t been able to finish well at the basket. I don’t know if his illness was respiratory, but he looks like his breathing is off
Sounds like they drafted Wiseman without realizing he was a poor fit for their system. That's on Myers. They could have had LaMelo, Wagner, or Haliburton. Wiseman isn't the only part of the future since they have JK and Poole, plus Wiggins. They messed up. Admit it and move on.
Sign DeMarcus cousins and keep our young players
Against the Nets, a team with size and elite rebounders and shooters, that starting lineup didn't work. Although Kerr tweaked the rotation, we didn't have enough size with Lamb on the bench, although JK did well. I estimated maybe 1.5 screens (Dray 1, Steph .5) until Loon came in and guys remembered how switching and setting screens are part of the everyone's job on both ends. They improved, only to fall short. Not gonna speculate about how bad it would've been if KD was healthy…
If your starters not bringing it bench them and put the bench players in.
I feel they need to reset, refocused, and rest.
Monty all cap this pod! F Wiseman 's future!!! Win nowww!! Kuminga is a better future piece! Be better my boy 💯
The starters have to be better and more consistent right now. I agree with Monte. The bench can't get all the blame. I do think they need to acquire another vet or 2 in particular a big man. Each player has had great moments, but there have been few games where everyone was clicking
I blame Kerr for not figuring out hiw to get these kids in the game we are below 500 with lamb n jerome ? Why isnt moody kuminga n wiseman not giving time on the court to develop chemistry ? Learn thru ther mistakes ? I think kerr has a problem with management if he doesnt produce a good season with this team that's ridiculous
dynasties fall because of hero ball aka egos. Egos come from big contracts. Looks like dummy (selfishness) ball.. Not fun to watch.
If warriors do not win a championship this year it is because of Klay Steph and Dray. They are the ones that lead the team and miss the shots, fail to rebound, or defend. Warriors lose games because they either don't take the shot or miss the shot. Trading Wiseman for another bench player doesn't seem to be the reason why the warrior's losing the championship. Plus the warrior's are way over the cap…so who are they going to pay to get.. another max player…not many good available centers out there warriors could get.
Nope don’t trade the future for now
Truth is…Dubs are confused and the fire has been tamed from within. Too many lineup variations all the time. Let the stars be stars CONSISTENTLY – everyday (Steph, Wiggs, Klay, Dray and Looney + JP/JK). Donte and Ty Jerome are good players who play hard and can shoot. Lamb plays hard and can shoot, as well. Consistent starting lineup EVERYDAY. Dubs are a carnal team right now – but you also need dogs who want to tear the other team apart every.single.play. The way the team has been constructed, no real "role" players..because they all believe they should have vast minutes
I apreciate the realness of this podcast.. no sugar coating like the lakers media do with the lakers. Love the realness@!
Stephen Curry is transcendent and will go down in history as maybe a top 5 player ever, but he cannot do anything about the mistakes leadership made by letting go of key pieces that could have helped them tremendously this season. They got rid of too much experience and defense so what did they expect: Magic? They are getting what they deserve. It's frustrating to watch.
Curry could be an all-time great coming off the bench
They need a inside scoring they have James Wiseman he's 21 and he is a 75 percent scorer around the basket all they have to do is have 3 plays per quarter and he will average about 15 points per game of inside scoring they don't have now
What makes her think they won't win a championship this year they were around 500 last year I don't know what she talkin about
They were saying the same exact thing last year got to get somebody before the trade deadline you see what happened last year
Kuminga about to become Godzilla and torch the whole league
Steve Adams is out. No excuses, Dubs!!!!
Again, this lady is wrong regarding to GS owned the trio another chance for the title. LOL, that's BS. ASk THompson and Green what's their priorities? Both of them would want another fat contract in their careers with GS or another team. LOL, lady is too sentimental and misjudge what's the real situation is.
Rather than make a comment, I'll turn the table around and ask a couple of questions.
Is it possible the Warriors' real problem is emotional, meaning they lack motivation? What causes lack of motivation in a basketball team? Is it possible their problem is the coach? Is it possible the thread or chain of unity and purpose among the players has snapped? These are serious questions they need to iron out among themselves and hopefully they can all work out together maturely and professionally.
