Warriors first-half reset: What went wrong and reasons for second-half optimism | Dubs Talk
20 Comments
I don't feel that things went wrong. I feel some fans kept thinking to themselves, ok at some point they will turn it around. And then one day you look up and realized, maybe this is who they really are this year.
I knew that it was a mistake by not resigning Gary Payton the second and Otto Porter Jr
Variability too much outside perimeter and not enough inside scoring
If we get DeMarcus cousins he can stretch the he's a very underrated passer And he can't hit threes he gives us that five out that were accustomed to
The key is we're trying to play five out and because of that we're not getting the rebounds. In the first half we do well we rebound the ball we push the pacewe space the floor and then we make a good shot second half we get away from that we try to play five out again the other team cuts The lane pick-and-pop
Merely 7 More Wins In The DREADED AWAY COLUMN, and our DUBS Would Be In Second Place.
We just need a big. A big changes everything. Teams keep attacking the paint and we can’t contain them for all 4 quarters . We are playing good basketball at this point , we just cant finish because WE ARE TOO SMALL .
A big man helps the guards get in Rhythm also. Guards need a big to pick and roll with to get warmed up outside of shooting.
Our guards are trying to keep guys in front of them while trying to score on the other end , thus tiring them out around the 4th . Loon and dray have to defend all these guards attacking the paint and its tough because they are undersized. They are playing good D but these nba guards are going to finish over them. We need a big plain and simple. A true center is essential to defense.
reason for optimism is that they lost some really close heartbreaking games that they could have won, so if they focus on late game execution, they can improve.. but the reason to be not optimistic is that their defense has not been good all year and i don't see how they can improve all of a sudden.
Warriors needed jaymychael Green to come with his A game from game 1 not the last week or two
a team of mediocrity.
Jordan seems to be trying to lower his turnovers. During the Clippers game he had 0! If you look at his stats he's doing better. If he can lock in consistently on defense that will really help him.
Klay is lazier now.. lazier. Lazy to be honest.
There's no way that JP could be sabotaging the defense to make Draymond's perceived value worse in a contract year, right?
Right?
The league is the same, the warriors is getting old and they have players who is overpaid poole or fool and getting Lazy, like klay, who want to play hero ball everytime.
Monte described pretty much what I've seen — poor defense, no intensity on D, weakness from Klay who used to be a great defender, Wiggs not so great on defense due to health I think. Good ball movement, good 3 shooting, lots of assists, but an inability to stop the other team. We'll see — can we get the D going again.
Who are the 5 best defensive players?
Warriors Can play defense – they just don't Want to. The good news with Denver is Jokic runs out of gas late in game & season….meanwhile Monty not throwing shade at defense – He Pulled out The Whip! 💥 🙀
Too small, too many turnovers and no defense
Monte is such a Jordan Poole hater 😒
The W's should lock Jordan in a room and make him watch Monte's analysis of him over and over until he get's it. Oh and do the same thing with Draymond.
