[Kawakami] Kerr: “To me, the model is 22. We won with a similar mix to what we have now. Good on both sides of the ball, establish the defense — I think we finished 2nd in efficiency. We still have things to work on. But we won a title built around Steph & defense. That’s the formula this year too”

Have to wonder – if the model is ’22 then I wonder who this year’s JP is going to be
I don’t know why people think we need a #2 option. In 22 we had Poole, Klay and Wiggins pulling their weight with scoring. This year it’s a mix of Hield, Kuminga and Wiggins again. If it worked then why not now?
Very different years and moments in the league and a lot of miles to go, but we have some reasons to be optimistic.
The amount of rest Dray and Steph get from the 2nd teams will be the difference . So far so good.
we need jk to capitalize on the space in the middle given that he plays with buddy most of the time
The model is 22. Wiggins wears #22. Wiggins the key to our season confirmed.
But in all seriousness, he is. If he can continue giving elite defense, rebounding and scoring 15-18 a night, we’ll be in a really good spot. We don’t have a true #2 option, but we have 3 guys besides Steph who can combined give you at least 45 points a night in Wiggins, Hield and JK.
Melton was giving us nice scoring these 2 games before getting injured again. Moody has had some decent scoring nights. If Podz ever shoots and gets some to fall, that will go a long way.
Our biggest issue is defensive rebounding. We’re a top offensive rebounding team again, so size clearly isn’t the issue. Guys gotta box out or help on the glass and we will be tough to beat.
I love this. I love the positivity in the article. Coach has a plan. He’s a reason we are what we are. LFG.
defense without a real centre am I hearing this right?
If Buddy Hield keeps this up in the postseason, the league is in trouble fr
It’s Strength in Numbers!
Always has been… Always will!
LFG Dub Nation!!!
Ah yes. Kawakami throwing shit on a wall to see what sticks. I can’t fucking stand this guy.
Wiggins is not same player. We can replace Klay with Buddy. Kuminga is marginally better now. PODZ, who could have replaced JP has been struggling this year. We need one more piece for insurance.
Steph believes the team can win a title. Draymond things the team can win a title. Steve thinks the team can win a title
Soon the majority of yall will finally get on board with the rest of us
Buddy Heild is the Poole off the bench
2022 had 5 potential all star caliber players and 3 players who could drop 40 on an opponent without blinking
This roster is far more focused on spreading the overall wealth of the offense.
I don’t see any similarity other than the fact the org didn’t think either team was going to be very good coming into the season
