Warriors blowout Pistons — Is the shooting real or fake?



Warriors blowout Pistons — Is the shooting real or fake?

The Golden State Warriors eased to their fourth-straight preseason victory with a 111-93 win over the Detroit Pistons thanks to another barrage of hot three-point shooting in the first-half.

Is the Warriors shooting real, or are they wasting a hot stretch in preseason? Plus all the individual analysis following the 18-point win.

  1. There are a lot of great shooters on this team. There were a lot of great shooters on last years team. But defense and execution are the keys. The offense was not the biggest problem.

  2. JK is the SECOND BEST PLAYER ON THE TEAM. He was the 2nd best player on the team LAST year and hes clearly the 2nd best player. We just need KERR to do his part and give him the green light/confidence to go out here and perform.

  3. Here’s something I don’t think a lot of people have thought about. All of the very good role players on this team will be very helpful in making a big trade this season. We have almost too many good players that will really be able to help some other team.

  4. The shooting is real of course, Hield, Moody, JK and Waters can take those shots but the real question is can Steve give them greenlights again like they have these pre-season games?

  5. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard and that proving to be the case with moody I might sound crazy but in the long run he might be better than Kuminga

  6. I think Moody can now take Wiggins' slot. Trade Wiggins + Looney for a legit, and experienced shooting big.

  7. With an exception here and there (like buddy's 1 leg corner fade away out of bounds 3) at lot of these PRE season 3 point shots are open shots and i think that's the ancillary question here. Are the Warriors going to use pace and ball movement to generate so many open 3s that a high percentage will be sustainable or will regular season defense blunt this and if so by how much?

  8. Your take on shooting is puzzling. Is it real? Its real because you are watching it. If you watch the nba in its entirety then you should know that the high volume shooting is necessary. The two finals teams were both the highest volume of 3 point shooting. All
    These players did what they were suppose to do and for better in the off season. At know point do you get concerned about the shooting because they are shooting good shots. They are not just throwing it up recklessly. Enjoyed the video!

  9. Athleticism doesn't mean anything on defense if you don't understand angles. Jks issue on defense is understanding angles. He is getting blown by because he is consistently overplaying to one side or the other. Steve Kerr said that they have not hunkered down on defense strategy yet. He will get better as his IQ gets better.

  10. Ok. Did you ever play competitive basketball? There is no such thing as saving shots for the regular season. Its called profecting your form and learning your spots. Saving shots until the regular season is a wide statement!

  11. I feel like kuminga is not as athletic as big or as dominant as i hoped for. He improved his shooting in a big way, but how consistent can he be all season? But we'll see through out the season.
