Steph has no signs of slowing down. Steph doesn't have the right personnel that compliments his game. STEPH NEEDS HELP. 😮
The huge issue with this team is that it’s forced to play in a way that caters to steph and draymond and those guys are clearly past their primes . They simply aren’t good enough to carry the team even though they make a boatload of money. Realistically , they should go young but they’ll never get rid of steph and dray so they are stuck at this point. It would be real foolish to trade your young players and a boatload of draft picks to cater to 2 old guys
Stephanie is done he's no longer a all star let alone superstar I don't know what it is but his mental attitude starting games is pathetic his body is there but his mind isn't something is wrong with this guy really.
@dredy2g…that's cap…he has help…he is slowing down..and it's ok….he just can't carry the team night to night
Next three are losses Lakers Suns Clippers .
Facts chuck… I've been saying Kuminga and Wiggins can be a good duo…like brown and tatum…and curry can be like Tim Duncan and take it easy til the playoffs…but he is still about his numbers
I think Kuminga or Wiggins can do it..be the consistent two ..or possible first option…but like you said…they are told to look for Steph..I really think Wiggins could be it…Kerr said he would have a bigger role…but I don't think curry is ready to relinquish the reigns..curry is a passive aggressive type..and he has an ego…well deserved..but he still wants to be the man..and he is…just not every night
Charlie, let Moses have his money! It’s not his fault the organization hasn’t developed him or doesn’t give him enough time to be impactful.
All of that and you think he should be paid less? Do you want him to go play basketball overseas?
You know darn well that even if Mo was replaced, Kerr will still mismanage the team.
Horrible take to co-sign Kerr’s terrible decision making by insinuating that there is anything more Moses could be doing to “earn” his money.
I would trade for Thomas Bryant…he can shoot the 3 and post…he is not the big man I would want..but he could be one we could get without gutting the team
I’m going to need specific trade details from Kylen, that’s a lot of wants, but not enough details on how to realistically make it happen. Kolsky and Charlie have gone into depth multiple times on the limitations of these moves, I’m not convinced that Kylen is adding anything new to the discussion.
Chuck…butler is not better than Wiggins…he just has a bigger personality..and has a greener light and is more free to do what he wants in the offense..
such a cute husband wife team
Its this offense ideology man…i could tell when Wiggins got traded and moved to the 3 years ago…i was like … that's wack..now with Dennis being traded here…he doesn't look like the player we traded for..moody..podz..jk..tjd not really getting better…steve jas been riding rhe greatness of 3 players..now that klay is gone..steph and dray are slowing down.. it's obvious to see this system is flawed..and he is not a good coach for player development like Mark Jackson was…so he his wasting wiggs prime…and the young guys potential..need to run something different..or maybe im tripping
I think Steph is just mentally exhausted. Kerrs lack of consistency or conviction torwards JK, rotations is just draining not to mention Steph went ham the latter half of the olympics. I'm giving until post all star break to have 15 game run averaging 27.
Steve want Steph to shoot all the shots late game until he can't an turned the ball over.
So good to see Kylen back on Locked On Warriors again!
Warriors fans are SPOILED. Curry top 2 at his position all time. Helped get 4 rings, he struggles and gets talked about like a dog. It’s okay to criticize but some of yall going too far. It’s still rather early and win streak can put yall right back in the thick of things.
He’s struggling but deserves grace. I’m a Pacers fan, no championships in the Nba. Steph Curry and what’s he’s done for yall is the type shit other fanbases dream of. It’s crazy how many “trade him” post I’ve seen. I said this before but, if he never makes another shot EVER – he still deserves nothing but respect from yall.
We just need a big that can defend and shoot (Myles Turner) that would unlock the young guys and make life easier for everyone
What happened to Buddy ? Guess that one flopped too 😂
JK played relatively well, but he was consistently inefficient in the team defense, play making, and decision making, especially in the clutch time.
Curry needs much much better player right now, not in 5 years!!!
Please trade him asap for win-win!!!
Most of you people are ridiculous, Wiggins is not fantastic and Kuminga is not the answer as well.
This team has suffered from the same thing for years, NO BIG MAN TNAT HELPS OUT, WITH SCORING. No easy buckets down the road. All the effort is spent in the first 3 quarters and they’re exhausted at the end.
Wiggins is the second leading scorer and our best defender lol. Ppl want him trade for the most lateral moves. Like I understand if u said giannis but like Ingram or butler are not upgrades
Curry hasnt shot the ball well as SG in general since shroder arrived. I think Curry still needs to have the ball more in order to get his shootings going. He still shoot better as PG.
Curry, Hield combo still most potent I have seen.
GS needs to make a trade ASAP. Washington is perfect trade target. Kuminga, Slow-mo, Looney for Kuzma and Valachunas is a good one. Kuzma is 6' 9.5" in shoes , that can passed as 6'10". he's much longer , better defender and play maker than Kuminga.
Starters: Curry, Hield, Wiggins, Kuzma, TJD is good lineup with alot of offensive players to take burden away from Curry yet with enough defense.
Off the bench, Shroder, Podz, Moody, Green, Valachunas.
Curry is washed. He's not even relevant 😂
It’s time to trade Draymond … If Atlanta would be interested Dray for Deandre Hunter straight up
Adjustments and change need to happen for this team if you play the same way you will get the same eeaults.
If we're going to continue to ignore JKs game to push the "idk what he is" narrative, I'm gone. Its reaching gaslighting territory
How, could Moody or Kuminga, could thrive, if kerr is playing with their roles and minutes. The reason Moody was the best player in the preseason, because he was, it was because was giving moody more minutes, and moody was playing happy and fun, because lying kerr, say before the preaseason that, there were 3 open spot, and they should compete for that spot, and Moody was motivated. Then after he play great he just put him in the bench and reduce hus minutes. If would be dumb, to not recognize that. Then at the star of the season, kerr was doing to moody the same treatment he did also to kuminga, each time they play great he sit them. You already said it, when kuminga play 30 minutes he play great. How could Moody be in any rithm ir motivated, if kerr sit him each time he play great. Then how could he be in any rithm, playing 10 minutes, and he was, and also is still injured. By the way i give you some stats, Moody as a starter, the warriors play 4 games, they win all 4. In just 19.4 minutes, Moody average 10.8 points per game, on 58.3 FG% and 62.5% from three, he also was 4.3 in plus minus. The other problem is that Moody once he enters the game, he is forcingnhes offense, because he is in just in a haeve pressure ti produce in his limit minutes, so kerr could give him more minutes, the problem is again, even if he play great kerr would sit him, just watch the games. If kerr don't play Moody and Kuminga, over 30 minutes, and give them a starting spot, and not given them the opportunities kerr gives it to podz, don't judge them if they don't succeed. They are in their 4 season it should be their time. Kerr is killing their careers.
As a Warriors fan, I feel like I'm just waiting for Curry and Green to retire. That loss to Indiana sounded like the door closing.
We won FOUR championships!!! It's ok guys, we had a blast for a decade, but its over. Hand the keys to Kuminga. Make him the focal point of the offense. Trade Shroeder again in Feb to a contender for some youth. Let Steph play the #2 guy on the team and enjoy his ride into the sunset. And just be thankful that we got to have so much fun for so long.
Steph Curry is not "done". But the honest truth is that even MJ himself battled tendonitis for the last 3 titles and it was never a good idea for him to have played in the Olympics this summer; not just because of the added wear and tear, but because he had to skip his normal rehab. When Draymond did the Olympics in Kuminga's 1st year he missed a third of the season to back injury. Truth is that we may have traded a decent chance at a title for a golden dagger.
We need to stop misquoting Kerr as far as what he said the other night. He didn't say that most of the shots should be taken by Steph. He said that taking a contested 17 footer with 12 seconds remaining with Steph on your team is a bad shot. Shots early in the clock (before giving the offense a chance to work) have killed them. If you're being contested, let him commit and pass the ball and swing it again, eventually there will be a wide open shot because the ball moves fast, especially when Steph is being doubled,
Who are these pick and roll bigs that y'all are seeing on the Dubs roster? Surely we dont picture Looney rolling and dunking on top of folks. TJD? prior to the last 2 games have you been seeing him finishing well at the basket? They're asking young guys to give the offense a chance to work. I'm not even saying that the Dubs have a chance of a title in the 2024 arms race. But I sure as heck aint trading Wiggs because he scores 18 points and prevent another 10 or so (defending) all by himself and I would prefer to trade Kuminga for 30 million dollars instead of 7.5 in the off season. (but I'm flexible, trade him whenever if you want to)
please, let's not devolve back to the "Steve Kerr hate's Bigs" thing. Who are these 7 footers you want him to use? He's a coach, not the GM. Call them by name if they exist. Post is a rookie in the G league learning the offense, that's it.
STEPH HAD NO HELP. HE WANTS OUT. STEPH WANTS TO GO TO A REAL CONTENDER AND HE DESERVES IT
Both Steph and DG are in decline. Nothing bad about that: just the passage of time. The “young guys” are good but not great. All these fantasy moves/ trades (“big man” , “Giannis “ fire Kerr“) are just that , fantasy. Enjoy the game, they’re fun to watch but don’t expect a championship.
This host is completely clueless. Can't believe he has a platform
