Kylen Mills and Cyrus Saatsaz start the week hosting a live show to discuss Steve Kerr’s infatuation with point guards, the latest on Draymond Green’s indefinite suspension and the crew delve into whether the Golden State Warriors’ win-now approach is wise considering the sacrifice the team is making with the development of their young players in favor of giving declining veterans more minutes.

Would someone explain how Curry who seemed to have a bad game was plus 5 and Klay who looked like he had a good game was a minus 4
And you need chill off on your infatuation of Kuminga.
Playing him more isn’t suddenly going transform gs to contenders.
podz was able to earn trust of Kerr despite plethora of guards in the roster. If jk can’t do it in his 3rd year there’s when draymond is out half the time then it’s not just Kerr’s problem.
The last two win is nice but the game against the Celtics will be a good barometer where the Warriors sit. This contest couldnt come at a bettet time
more than anything it will either expose Kerr and his whole coaching staff or will It show that he starting to do what is needed.
The Celtics game wont be a run and gun game Im hoping for thr best like a breakout from the veterans, with JK, Moody, Davis Kerr giving them fair minutes but as a betting man I have a sense this game will not just go bad but real bad. Which I will hold my thoughts.
KYLEN🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥
Cy and Kylen…so hot right now
The Warriors, even w/out Dray, are a championship contender. Theres height, youth, energy, passion, experience, IQ. But as long as Kerr is obsessed with small ball and point guards, round 1 inplayoffs is as far as they go.
I don't often agree with your takes on the Warriors. However, I do appreciate yoy taking strong takes.
90 minutes to PG's when Draymond is out and SC plays offball. Wiseman somehow becoming a player when he can't set a screen or rebound
The warriors need to play with two bigs for defensive purposes…..
They did not draft well. Too many Lacobs. Brought in Jokic coach/Dont have center Hope they let Dunleavy evaluate. Weird Bulls content.
If Tim Duncan in his last 6 years can accept playing 28mpg so can Klay Thompsons
Wiggs and JK's basketball IQ are comparable to 80% of NBA players. But Kerr wants his wings to have higher IQs so they know when to screen, cut and rebound – because most of the time the three guards handle the ball and decides what to do with it. Wings and centers who flourish in Kerr's system are veterans who have years of experience (Green, Iggy, Livingston, Beli, Porter, West) and are willling to be third option on offence.
Trade CP3, BP to backup point, Moody backup 2 guard, Wiggins, Green and Looney as second unit. Curry, Klay, Kuminga, Jackson-Davis, Saric as starting unit. Floor spacing, on ball defender and a rim defender. To athletic players and 3 Shooters with 2 ball handlers and passers (Curry, Saric)
Anything coming from Shams about Draymond at this point is a Klutch Sports talking point. Minimum three weeks??? False number designed to pressure the league by setting an expectation it will end shortly after three weeks. Joe Dumars has stated repeatedly there is NO MINIMUM NUMBER. If it doesn't come from Dumars, it's fake.
Ok that thumbnail had me lol 😂
I love jk and mm but at this point I wouldn't blame them both for walking away. They have to take care of there families.
I also don't trust Steve Kerr and his "matchup codeword". Since 2015, I truly think that we all know better than Steve Kerr.
I think Kerr plays who he likes most. He's in love with Loon that's why I'm not too optimistic about TDJ's minutes.
this guy never content with what the Warriors have done with 4 chips. He is obviously have some mental issues…that is it. He always advertise for metal care. He need it. As a Warrior fan I have lived through all the losing seasons….Cyrus chill…
We are waaaayyy too PG heavy. What about when GP2 comes back? Podz is going to lose minutes because Kerr won’t take them from anyone else. Also, we need to talk about Steph’s shot selection. Him and Klay make it hard for other guys to get into an offensive rhythm. Too many times it’s one of them jacking up a long contested 3 within the first few seconds of the shot clock and no ball movement like back when in the 2010s. When they have sets where multiple guys touch the ball and cut they look like the best version of themselves.
If TJD plays they can win more games. That simple. We need a big.
Why trade to good players that can become great? Who knows, to keep an idiot pretending to be a coach.
The lamb -Jerome situation definitely didn't make any sense , they ate the young guys minutes , the team lost a lot of those games anyway and the crazier thing was that the team didn't keep them …
The thing is too, what if Kerr's faves get injured? If the young ones don't get the time in, how are they going to do when you need them?
It would be interesting to see a stat. How does Stephen Curry perform when the team is up?
Kerr likes players who come from college basketball experience. He believes it makes players more trustworthy….IDKW?
It’s easy to pick on the minutes going to the PGs, but more, better ball-handlers on the court should help cut down on dumb turnovers. Keep in mind that the Warriors, as a team, have been out rebounding their opponents: (OKC 39, Ws 60 including 13 more offensive rebounds) (PHX 41, Ws 51 including 6 more offensive rebounds) (LAC 40, Ws 43 including 6 more offensive rebounds) (Nets 42, Ws 42 including 1 more offensive rebound) (POR 37, Ws 43 including 2 more offensive rebounds). I think Kerr’s small ball lineups can work, but they need to hit their shots and cut down on the dumb turnovers.
Guys Steve Kerr is on the last year of his contract. So could we please stop talking about the development of young players. The warriors will address this topic and plus Klay is on expiring deal also. This will play itself out !
Podz is in the game coz the ball moves, steve loves his motion offense.
… And this was after a win ladies and gentlemen
The problem is that when Draymond and GP2 come back and with Kerr’s infatuation for Podz, and Kerr’s desire to play only 9 players, there will be one spot left for Kuminga, Moody, and TJD. We need to fire Steve Kerr.
Come on really, JK was great the first half and kept them in the game the other day and he doesn't play him the 2nd half until just before the game was over for defensive purposes. REALLY!
Until and unless they get a legitimate BIG that can shut down all the driving and scoring at the basket, that can also be a legitimate threat to score at the basket, they will not contend.
Ty Jerome, Lamb and Pod get playtime. JK, Moody, TJD (and the list is quite a bit longer) get none. Whats the difference in those characters… cmon guys. Its obvious
The bigger question is why has Keer abandoned the line-up mix that won the Warriors the first three championships with having "Bigs" in the line-up, why has the third quarter scoring barrage dissipated, and finally, where is the motion offense which they have been known to have perfected?
Mike Brown was the mastermind. When he left so did our offense!
you guys know that Podz and Steph are OFF guards right now right??? right??????????? lmaoooooooooo
Steve kerr almost sends Tj Davis and Brandon P to the g league, it's really clear Steve kerr really don't care to develop young players.
Point guard obsession? You guys totally miss what's going on, really! Teams are doing everything possible to lock down Steph and so he has to play off ball a lot more. With the absence of Draymond, they need another playmaker. So Podz or CP3 are playing a lot with Steph. That's Draymond's fault. He's the backup playmaker that gets Steph off ball. Who do you propose being that other playmaker? Kuminga? Moody? Klay? Wiggins?
Moody should get more time. Kuminga needs to play better defense, especially in crunch time. All you focus on is offense. We need better defense. We avg 115 ppg. That’s enough scoring. We need better defense. Wiggs is a better defender especially in crunch time. Stop trynna push HofF out the way for potential. Makes no sense.
A back to back on the road is tough against any opponent. Give them some credit for the win
TJD looks like the big they need or would want to trade for. And you have him on a rookie deal. PLAY HIM
Great breakdown Cyrus, Kylen..! POD I believe his minutes is geared toward helping Vets. He has some very nice pocket pass to Curry and Klay. But I’m convinced TJD was 20 a night 10 rebounds as big in Big Ten I think with 25-30 minutes he could do same in NBA! Kerr and staff looked goofy not playing him last 25 games! He looked amazing out there! Moody and Kumminga play 30 minutes for 10 games assessed after. I believe both would excel! We have to shift the old legs are not going to get younger..!
How good would we be 25 minutes last year for Kumminga and Moody?? Kerr? Instead we tried Jack the ball Poole mess!
Loon is hard worker but he is no where near the athlete of TJD what is the coaching staff doing????😮😮😮
Im waiting for the day where jk.and moody request a trade
Podz is playing for Kerr because he's delivering. Shooting and passing and REBOUNDING. He out rebounds Kuminga and others. Perhaps it's not a 'prejudice' against small players. That said…yes, as noted, Kuminga especially takes time to warm up. And TWO point guards on the floor have made for their lack of defense. Yes it may be that Kerr is trying to force a game plan on a team that no longer has the players to fit the mold because they've gotten older and other teams have found another recipe. Well, the W's have made their commitments. It will change soon enough. a growth spurt by Kuminga and/or Moody will force the issue. "Championship or failure" is not a sustainable expectation for fans.
Aye please stop showing that picture. Not a good look 😕
I mean they keep blowing leads because klay is not himself anymore he’s not a defensive player and neither is Wiggins I just don’t understand what more do you need to see in order for change. Now they play Celtics tonight, I would love to see how this is gonna play out..
Steve Kerr must forgot, the bulls was not small..He was just there at the right time..
