The Golden State Warriors Are SURGING

The Golden State Warriors Are SURGING

The Warriors continue to Surge in recent games over the last stretch that started against the Hawks on the homand it took nothing less than a call from Adam Silver and a bit of stubbornness from Steve cerr to shake things up for Golden State resulting in three losses two of

Which were by a single point in what would otherwise have been a sea of blowouts hey what’s happening everyone this is switch culture and I’m here documenting the Resurgence of the Golden State Warriors in real time if you haven’t been a part of of this channel you’re probably thinking the team is on

Its last legs but we go beyond the metrics here while keeping a firm grip on the hard facts the warriors were looking for a second option that can create and score this whole time Steve Kerr had this Superstar sitting on his bench over the last 20 plus games

Jonathan kaminga has shown just how much of a force he is on both ends of the floor eventually forcing Steve C to put him in the starting lineup and a steady diet of 30 plus minutes a night the Warriors offense defense instantly blossomed Draymond Green returned and under his guidance Direction and his

Regained ability to lead the team has started clicking defensively last but not least Andrew Wiggins is starting to look more and more like 2022 Wiggins every single game and what has this led to I no be sure to like the video and subscribe to Swit culture for the most

Analytical and entertaining NBA content on the planet and get ready you’re about to get [Applause] Swit in the last video I highlighted a clip of Klay Thompson asking the media if he wants him to bench himself what I left out was that Klay also asked if Wiggins should be benched bench wigs tongue and cheek of course but what this means is Clay is acutely aware of the

Team struggles as well as his role in it if you are denying that clay has anything to do with it then you’re simply living in denial sometimes you just have to call a boat anchor what it is and I’m sure Captain clay knows what one of those looks like a few people

Have indicated that they consider my videos to be anti clay gosh I never thought Clay’s numbers would have it out for him maybe we should tell the team to stop playing so good when klay’s not on the floor the fact is Wiggins Draymond Steve Kerr and Kavon Looney all have

Contributed in some form or another to the the difficulties this team has had if not show me another consistent 20 plus Point scorer besides Steph Curry on this team that didn’t start the season on the bench now that caveat that I added for the bench is to point out that

It isn’t just a single player that had issues but so far only a single player hasn’t taken an opportunity to try to fix them now granted Clay’s playing time maybe as a result of Steve cerr it would also require a mature mindset from Klay Thompson because neither Steph Curry or

Draymond Green has big of a mouth that he has will tell clay he needs to accept a reduced role I’m simply going to post the facts or as close to it as I can get with the available data in my own observations from watching the games if

This is a problem welcome it’s going to be a long season next is Andrew Wiggins Steve cerr was asked about Wiggins Resurgence and this was his response do you feel like that you reacquired Andrew Wiggins in recent days I feel like Andrew’s actually been coming the last

Few weeks one of the main things I try to do on this channel is to get insight based on body language choice of words and speech patterns to do all the Translating that these conversations tend to cloak so while some people see it as a complete about turn for Wiggins

It seems this is something that he’s been trying to resolve over time and really hints to some internal struggle the benching apparently hurt because the additional minutes seemed to make him play better I’ve definitely noticed a big difference with his effort especially defensively and I think for

Now that works better for the Warriors if you notice the team has shifted away from running Wiggins post-ups to kaminga post-ups and considering JK is the more gifted scorer I’m expecting that to continue Wiggins is playing more of the role that JK was playing last season finishing plays back door Cuts lobs Etc

He’s attacking the basket in transition and for the last five games has been averaging just under 17 points four rebounds and one steal per game while shooting 47% from three this is pointing to a significant uptick and the defense we’re seeing indicates that we’re trending towards the Andrew Wiggins of

2022 if this happens to be the case considering every other recent development with the team then expect the Warriors to Make Some Noise going into this season’s playoffs it’s interesting that Steve ker said Wiggins couldn’t play with kaminga something I said should have been done a long time

Ago and now we see the two are thriving in the starting role there’s a good reason for that however and he’s next on my list Draymond Green had some interesting things happen a few months ago Draymond revealed that he had received an offer to play for another team he mentioned somewhere along the

Lines of 10 million more per year and considering he’s currently signed for 4year 100 million we’re looking at 140 million for 4 years strangely similar to the Jordan pool contract now recently it came out that this team he almost signed a deal to play with is the Memphis Grizzlies I

Don’t know about you but considering what went down between Golden State and Memphis I find it hard to believe Draymond would even consider replacing Dylan Brooks or would he considering how he started the season however I’m sure he’d be back in a Warriors uniform by the trade deadline that being said he’s

Been very instrumental in the Warriors recharging and coming back to play competitive basketball he’s the anchor that seems to be guiding Wiggins and Jonathan kaminga on the defensive end to help the team compete on the floor on a nightly basis it isn’t the only reason

But just one of the few but the biggest development this season has been Jonathan kaminga Ascension to the next level at the beginning of the season I made a video titled Jonathan kaminga is him which someone proceeded to share on Reddit aside from the crucifixion of my

Use of the term him my video got shot down for even daring to State what I thought was obvious and is that he was already the player in the beginning of the Season that we’re seeing today Jonathan kaminga called out Steve Kerr and kerr challenged him kaminga

Responded and Steve cerr wed him with minutes this much was admitted by Steve cert in his interview on the will and dib show I think it it really put Jonathan on the spot and you know he he sort of some ways um called me out you

Know I challenged him on some things and and he’s followed through and we’ve rewarded him with more playing time and and he’s he’s really making the most of it what you’re seeing from kaminga is a long time coming we saw his workout videos in the summer we saw him follow

Up in the preseason and now we’re in the regular season and he’s shown everyone exactly why he said no one can guard him he just recently set a career high of 31 points and is threatening to break that on a nightly basis did you know that kaminga has been averaging 54% from

Three over the course of his last 10 games he’s made 14 of 26 attempts from downtown and his shot continues to improve INF fluidity and consistency could you imagine if Steve cerr actually gave Moses Moody minutes these two tend to amplify each other’s impact and whenever they play together it’s

Complete and utter chaos do you recall that game where the Warriors came back against the Spurs in late January of 2022 alongside P Moses Moody and Jonathan kaminga after having not played much of the game were basically put in as K was throwing the white flag and all

Three players went off making a 17-point comeback for me that’s where they proved how good they were removing clay from the starting lineup in place of Moody would give the Warriors length defense hustle and athleticism that would run teams out of the gym this would give P

The ability to run point with Clay on the second unit in the meantime and best of all give developmental minutes to our young guys instead of vets that aren’t noticeably better speaking of the young guys one of the biggest changes that I’ve seen this season really came into

Prominence against the Brooklyn Nets now we saw this happen earlier in the game against the Hawks and while the Warriors lost that game there was enough to Warrant doubling down while making adjustments to the things that didn’t really work out in that game one of the major issues for example was that Klay

Thompson’s shot selection again got the best of him now I’m not about to rag on Clay because he’s going through enough as it seems after the next game he had an interview that really showed what he’s going through and with that type of behind the scenes look following how the

Game went you can really see he’s having a hard time I completely get what Clay’s going through and I’m hoping he doesn’t make this any more difficult for himself than it already is this is a man that is having a hard time coming to grips with reality this this is who he’s always

Known himself to be for probably close to the last 20 years we’re talking about a serious identity crisis and when people blow it off like it’s nothing while you’re up to your neck and trying to figure out who you are now it’s not really a good feeling so clay keep your

Head up brother no one dislikes you the issue is Clay coming to the realization of who he is is taking longer than those of us on the outside are expecting it to but we all handle our struggles differently give him time to process and go a little easy on him that being said

It was immediately noticeable in the next game that Steve gur was not going to allow the team to shoot themselves out of this one and the team didn’t really shoot many threes they only attempted two in the first quarter and by the end of the first half of the game

Only went two of 11 from distance Klay Thompson was noticeably not taking too many shots either it’s almost as if they had a moratorium on taking threes which the Warriors only had 22 attempts at the end of the game there’s teams taking 63 point shots a game but it seemed like

The Warriors taking only 22 attempts was clearly mandated this wasn’t a bad thing though as the team drove to the basket and especially in that third quarter ran the offense through Jonathan kaminga again he proved he was Unstoppable carving up the Nets defense not just to score but finding his teammates as well

His court Vision continues to show as well as improve JK is the reason half the Nets team were in foul trouble with Cam Johnson originally looking dangerous having to sit with five fouls and cam Thomas ually fouling out Brooklyn had no answer for JK this is the second option

The Warriors needed this season and he couldn’t come at a better time but that wasn’t the only thing we saw Steve Kerr made some great moves and while some were questionable do you recall a player named geek Santos I did a video on Santos two off seasons ago and shared

How skilled of a player he was and that the Warriors basically stole him with the 55th pick now he’s finally out of the g-league as he signed a contract with the team and came up big time for the war Warriors against the Nets this lineup with Santos pods kaminga Curry

And green closed out with Santos finishing with a plus 13 and career highs of nine points and five rebounds while he’s not quite as quick he was grabbing boards setting screens and making plays within the offense he’s 6’8 he’s tall he’s going to be guarding bigger players this is why Kirk kept

Going back to him instead of charage who was only in for a few minutes while the Net’s roster was a bit depleted they still packed Talent with Den Woody cam Johnson cam Thomas Roy O’Neal Who was a sniper from three as well as Nick Claxton who by the way got ejected with

A flagrant foul penalty too after seemingly callously throwing pots to the ground lucky for him the Nets faced off against postc Clarity Draymond Green Lester konas by the way despite being on a two-way contract has been showing up as well after dropping 17 points and five boards while shooting four of8 from

Three against the Hawks he had seven boards two assists and two steals against against the Nets to offset a poor shooting Knight he’s shown that he’s capable of playing both ends of the floor and with these two guys entering the rotation the team is reaping some major success I don’t think you guys

Realize how much of a big deal this is to see Steve cerr make these adjustments to the roster you can thank Kerr all you want but I for one think all of this was driven by Jonathan kaminga JK forced Steve Kerr to ask himself if I had JK

Out of the rotation sitting on the bench with this much ability what else am I missing this likely forced Kerr to put his bench guys in the rotation to give them an opportunity to fill in for the failures of an aging roster this in my opinion is the biggest development even more so

Than JK’s own individual growth but the growth he instilled in Steve cerr that impacted the entire roster and likely the entire season this same kid that so many wanted traded to get another veteran just showed the coach that he already had all the talent he needed

Right there in front of him he just needed to open his eyes while we had a bunch of young players who were casualties of Steve Kerr it’s better late than never I didn’t hype these kids coming in for views I saw the talent they brought to the team used in the

Right capacity there was a lot to be gained without even making a trade lastly Klay Thompson did not close out against the Brooklyn Nets this led to Klay not really celebrating the team doing well as he was mostly in his own head his body language can be taken two

Ways one as selfish or the other way which I think is actually the proper way to interpret it that clay was coming to reality with who he is as a player now there was a video circulating that clay was upset and some purported it to be

Because he didn’t close but it turns out that that’s false and Clay was upset because some players on the Net’s team were talking trash to a guy that’s in a tough position in his career that he wasn’t expecting to see so early maybe going forward we can see Klay Thompson

In a role more suitable for him and this team as well as contract wise post your thoughts in the comments below just don’t forget to like the video subscribe to the channel and turn on all your notifications so you don’t miss any of my latest uploads and thanks for watching till next Time
