  2. I don’t know what’s up with Kerr—he’s so in love with Steph that he’ll do everything just to get him open, even if it wastes a lot of time on the shot clock. They miss so many open lanes because they’re always focused on finding Steph or Draymond. Let Kuminga play basketball! This team operates on hierarchy over talent, where older players are prioritized, but younger guys like Kuminga can score if you just let them work.

    Let them isolate. Give them the ball in the post. Kuminga and Wiggins are really good post players, especially when smaller guards are defending them. But no—Steve Kerr is like, "Nope, hold my beer. Let’s mess this up." Instead of letting them play to their strengths, he has Kuminga shooting threes, Wiggins shooting threes—only threes. Mid-range shots are "bad shots." Post-ups are "bad shots." This team only takes layups and threes, and opponents have already scouted them out.

    Nobody on this team is allowed to consistently beat their man one-on-one, even though Kuminga, Wiggins, and Schroder have the ability to do so. But Kerr won’t let them. It’s always, "Move the ball, move the ball," which often just leads to turnovers from over-passing.

  4. Kerr is so fixated on his offensive system that not running it feels like a crime. Sometimes, having Draymond hold the ball in late shot clock situations is a disaster—he doesn’t know how to beat his man one-on-one. Additionally, other players, aside from Curry, seem to crumble under pressure when they have the ball in those situations.

    The problem lies in their mindset. Forget Curry, forget shooting threes—you have to attack the rim first. How? Through the post. Every team switches defensively when they face the Warriors, and the way to counter that is with pick-and-rolls or isolation in the post. Then, kick the ball out if someone is open in the corner. It’s simple basketball.

    Let Kuminga post up and draw some fouls, and let Wiggins do the same. As for Schroder, let him isolate and create. Steve Kerr’s offense hasn’t been effective in recent seasons—it’s outdated and no longer works. If someone else were coaching this team instead of Kerr, they would be winning more games. This team has the talent; the problem is that the coach doesn’t know how to use it.

  8. Its pretty obvious how other teams are going to defense the Golden State Warriors. Keep one guy if Steph's face every minute of the game. Don't even worry about wherethe rest of the games going and make someone else beat you. So far its working.

  11. Why did they go back to small lineups/motion offense? it's so outdated and has not worked for a while now. Why did they revert back to this BS?! Going from 9-2 t now 2-9. Insane…….Kerr needs to be more malleable.

  13. Warriors need to stop playing 10+ guys, that shit ain’t gonna work. Shorten your rotation and your main guys gotta start playing 38+ min. You don’t need to save their legs if you aren’t gonna make the playoffs. Gotta win regular season games first

  14. Its obvious there's an elephant in the room. Same as last year when Klay was there. IDK what it is but management should do something here. Trading for D.S was a great move. But it doesn't address the real dillema of this Team. Get a defensive BIG with some scoring. Teams just exploits the interior D of the warriors, over help on D is also a concern wing and guards are too slow rotating leaving wide open shooters. If not address another year of SC gonna go to waste.

  18. why wont this man go away? awful awful coach. arrogant as can be. nothing has changed in like 5 seasons. same horrible defensive scheme night in night out. tired of his BS excuses. Players never develop. good dude, but horrible coach. he gets outcoached by 29 coaches.

  19. The Grizzlies are a shitty team.. Player wise.. When they came to Chase center 5 -6 weeks back they were making fun of Kyle Anderson mocking him because he signed with the Dubs..He use to play for the Grizzlies a couple years ago.. ..The two coaches don't like each other either…Notice Steve and the Grizzlies coach didn't meet up and shake after the game… Steve bolted to the lockers. There's bad blood on both sides..

    I can't stand that team.. Now Little Richard wannabe Morant is mocking how he blew out the Dubs.. Signs of immaturity abound… Way to go lacking sportsmanship.. He's a little punk.. You could tell that by last couple years ago how he posted a photo on social media waving a gun.. Glad he was suspended …I have a target on that team… Never liked them ever since Little Richard was drafted by them..

  29. Ive lost all respect for Kerr. Used to like him as a player and a commentator. But the minute he coached, he just started to represent EVERYTHING WRONG with the NBA

  31. There's really a serious happening with the warriors, a 360 turn, that it looks like they're only up for nba cup and that's it. They're done! and this is i think the first time I've seen steve kerr look like that. Weird warriors.
