Wiseman needs to go, his fundamentals are not good. Poole is a lot inconsistent. Sign Cousins and athletic perimeter defender.
As a magic and warriors fan , weisman is scaring me reminding me too much of mo bamba. Lackin footwork weak screens no bag on offense
The Warriors tricked their fans into thinking the young guys have “it.”
Wiseman needs to go, despite all his flaws Kuminga just has so much more upside. Developing one might be too much if the team actually wants to try and contend, trying to develop both is just asking to forfeit the season.
Wiseman can't offer anything it would seem. He's been healthy for a while now but apparently can't even set an actual screen, he'd rather slip it before it's even set and go running off poorly for a lob that understandably doesn't come because he has butterfingers and can't catch the ball.
In retrospect he should have taken whatever lumps he needed to in College and stayed 4 years to learn some fundamentals and improve his core strength. He's getting boxed out and bodied by guards 8 inches shorter than him for rebounds.
I am so happy Kuminga is playing 😁 Lamb was good.
Kuminga should request a trade and get the hell out of this sinking ship.
Cy, no need to make a "Bobble Head" of you. It wouldn't be able to keep up.
Please stay on Kerr's neck lol it's no excuse for kuminga to not be getting 20 min a night from game 1. Kerr let his stubborn ego get in the way now we way behind the 8 ball. Idk what his problem is but kuminga was great last year and is prob our best bench player with the way Poole is playing yet he gets 5 dnps. Even still Kerr said he has to keep playing even when the minutes aren't there ….y would they not be there kerr? U can develop a guy playing 5 to 10 min and then pulling them at random times. He may make a few mistakes but his impact on winning is a clear positive and has been since on the team. Stop playing with his confidence just because you were a scrub role player
wiseman was not drafted for his talent but because he is 7'1" and overpaid compared to looney and is a project because his basketball iq is not why people drool over him. if wiseman has another injury, he'll be traded
I like your take on Kerr. He's so fond of giving his vets more minutes but the problem has been they're step behind on playing defense. They've easily blown-by by more athletic and younger players on Det/Char and Orl. The backbone of their success was through perimeter defense, that's why they depend on small ball because of switch-ability to contain attacks from the perimeter.
Now their fouling more coz they can't keep up. No GP2, Klay isn't 2-way anymore and Pool is not that good perimeter defender yet, so they better need some young legs. In this game, Kuminga and Moody showed they're good perimeter defenders. Ty is really a true PG w/ high IQ and I think Lamb is more effective 2-way PF than Jamychal.
Not sure if mistaken my apologise!
When it comes to Kuminga not playing being in dog house wasn't it here yesterday there was information but couldn't say it or something to that affect?
Also, I felt last year the injury became an excuse since in my opinion he just wasn't ready.
As opinion now about Kuminga let him play and learn from his mistake then why beat up on Wiseman should we give him that same consideration. It seems if Kerr and coaches are strapping Kuminga DNP, making him lose confidence wouldn't that affect Wiseman the same way instead of beating down a dead horse everytime he doesn't do it right in the coaches eye. Just saying? If experimenting is in order start him play him until he drop or foul out, let him play get beat maybe it will get him beast mode. Right now the kid is scare of making a mistake. Let him play instead of all the criticism?
Poole travelled 3 times. I just believe that at this level you should not be traveling that often. You should know what’s a travel by you get to this stage.
Kylen I hope you find a podcast to put out your voice.
The severed chemistry is something that has not been talked about enough. The Green/Poole event seriously damaged the team. They are not defending in sync because they are no longer in sync of the court. This is especially glaring on road trips. Time will tell if the damage can be fixed.
Yes, i kept hearing/reading that knockout punch by Toxic-Dray was going to kill the team's vibe but i didn't believe it but now i think maybe Perkins, Steph A and the rest who were saying this maybe they were right.
Kuminga > Kerr just can't see the bigger picture, i don't like his old school type coaching. Sometimes when you have a person with exceptional athleticism and touted to be the coming of the Next-Kobe you just let him loose and do his thing.💪
I totally agree with you about young players needing more time to find their comfort zone.
Ty Jerome was awesome
I'm totally with you, it would be nice to see Kuminga and Wiseman have games where they got 30 minutes of PT. If these youngsters were on any other team, they'd be getting way more burn.
I feel Wiseman needs the ball more in the low post
All these road games were winnable games.
Here we go with the Kerr slander in the comments after we’ve seen this year end year out and at the end of the season people act like they didn’t trash him during the year, practice patience
They will be fine,give them a break, you just win a championship, let them do what right for the team,
I'm not counting last nites game… Kerr knew were in a loosing streak and practkly DNP everyone but the new dudes… he threw them out there to fend for themselves… those are necessary games for them.
Coaching is not just assessing a player in the game, coaching is assessing a player in practice. Of course, fans and Cy & Kylen only see the player in games.
stop using Wiseman's age and games played as constant excuses, hes a few months away from 22 and making 10m+ per year. He can hardly set function screens on the nba level. open your eyes already, it aint looking good out there. He has so many resources for him and has gotten so much coddling its embarrassing at this point
Wiseman is a kid we won’t know how good he is until about 2 years. I think they should throw fast passes for 1/2 hour every day. Have him do picks 1/2 hour a day Iggy and Dre. But a lot of horrible passes to him too not his fault. As for Kumminga we don’t have a top NBA athleticism like that give him 22-25 minutes. Play at Center and forward!
Poole looks sloppy, Klay has played ok. Give Lamb minutes
I loved what I saw from the bench
I would NOT get rid of anyone right now! Wiseman and Kuminga are not THAT bad they are just getting started. I LOVE MOODY!!
Poole is not consistent and I think that’s the HUGE reason he’s not a starter when everyone is healthy, until he becomes solid and a leader he’s still needs to refine himself…also he has to break the habit of carrying the ball since they are cracking down on it so much more.
