Why Quinten Post Is Looking Like A Legit Answer At Center For The Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors have been playing better basketball and it’s in large part due to the recent emergence of Quinten Post as a two-way center. Chuck Walter and Mike Loginoff discuss why it’s time to start playing QP starters minutes every single game.

Mike, the quality of shots lately assisted by Pat are a ton better than the chaotic shots being rushed when a point guard is not controlling the tempo. Curry is GREAT. But his entire game is about speeding up the chaos. And wide-open RELAXED shots are not in that chaos. Pat has shown the ability to SET UP teammates. Curry doesn't do that. People get open in the chaos….but they aren't setup.
With the signing of Malevy Leons, he & QP can be our legit "Dutch Bros"!!!💙🏀💛
Podz has to take a seat for Pat :/ just have to sort out Pat's contract situation and sit Podz down. Will Richards should play over Moody as well :/ Seth over Buddy. Time to get serious, enough with the experiments lol
The issue is rhythm. That's what Pat provides, and that's what makes shots drop
Bummy is someone who feels like he can make 100 straight 3s one night then ghost you completely for 10 games :/ totally unreliable and if he's not making em, he's also giving away free points to whoever he's guarding hahaha SMH idk why kerr still plays him out there tbh. Just put Seth out there at this point and statpad Bummy so we can trade him already
Mike, Monk is not the shot creator that Pat Spencer is. Pat and Jimmy are the only two dudes on this roster that can create really good shots for others without turning the ball over. Monk is not very creative and when he tries, like Kuminga, the turnovers go way up. Look up Pat's Assist/TO ratio it's of the chart and top 5-10 in the NBA. Davion Mitchell might be the only dude who would be a better fit while still getting 5+ Assists per game.
I agreed with everything else for the most part! Love the show, let's hope Chuck finds Kolski soon lol
Moody is a good player, not a great player. He shoots well when not pressured. I believe he thinks too much. In the NBA, you get about 2 seconds to make the decision to take that shot. That means you're in the game looking for the ball before it comes your way. But with Moody, you can see him trying to decide whether he should shoot. There was a time in the last game. You can hear Meton tell him to shoot the ball. He thinks too much.
Suns 🤪 10th pick isn't seeing much run. But, Gillespie is their Spencer. Descent defense. Their sharpshooter yet to return.
Pistons must acquire a starting 4. Tobias needs to run off the bench. Pry away 👑 Keegan Murray. ✅
After all this time, the Warriors team that we know and love is taking shape. The ‘championship pedigree’ angle is tired and has been played out. And building around the Curry-Green-Butler core also makes me sleepy. The fact is, the future has been fermenting in Santa Cruz. The future is here, welcome and embrace it. The last four games on the road have been very telling. The defense has been excellent and the teamwork has become so fluid and energetic…Pat Spencer has a lot to do with it, as an engineering mind driven to make the right decisions for the team, as well as having some kind of killer instinct that can’t be denied. Around him, Post, Santos, Butler, and Melton, made it look easy at times. And how about those turnovers? Almost non existent. Almost. It is a fast paced basketball game after all.
Don' be surprised if Kerr fuk it all up when Dray and Steph return.
Dinkleberg!
Spencer over Podz for sure!!! why was he on the bench so long… sit Pods down!!!!
Announcers keep giving the stat about how the Warriors win almost all the games when they have fewer turnovers than the other team. Guess who the top 3 players in turnovers per game (TPG) are on the Warriors this year? Steph (3.1), Draymond (3.0) and Kuminga (2.5).
Quinten Post should be our starting centre for the next 10 years
Starting roster:
C – QP
PF – Green
SF – Butler
SG – Steph
PG – Melton
Second unit:
C – Horford
PF – TJD
SF – Santos
SG – Seth
PG – Spencer
Supporting bench: Moody, Podz, Richards, Cryer.
This roster sucks bro
You have second guess, think twice, hesitate, think too much because Kerr will take you out & bench you. You don’t think they see what’s happening with JK? This man is the 4th best player on team & just registered a healthy DNP.
Ayesha Curry. We now know the 1 person that can stop Steph. When curry has family problems he struggles he needs his fam
Tired of people blaming Kerr for the JK issue… the dude is just not consistent and has low IQ …doesnt think a system works for him so let him move on but in my opinion where ever he goes he will always be inconsistent
Warriors had the hardest starting schedule with more away games and back to back games. They didn't even have time to practice..
This alone will help with the wins big time..
Go Warriors!
Warriors need a Kenyon Martin (No disrespect to Draymond) Kind of player the team is boring without Steph and the old athletic JK. A Jrue Holiday suggestion isn't adding any juice to the team..Perhaps Kerr should change his style of play it is not working.
❤ I just hope that Pat Spencer isn't like buddy hield when he first came out.. shooting lights out and then became a hit or miss guy….👍🤙
This is exhausting – QP is a nearly 26 yr old rookie who will get bullied by a real center and will start to miss shots once Kerr moves back to the pass to Steph offense. Warriors won against two bad teams – (one tanking) – we should wait on the generational talent bs.
Have JK study Giannis’ game and then give him a solid few games (no leash in the first half of the game) to sort it out. Warriors have little to lose before January comes and the first half of the game means little to nothing in todays’ NBA.
Keep giving Pat rule over the 2nd unit. The flow is nice.
Draymond should backup for Jimmy except in closing minutes. They’re too redundant. Give Post the start over Draymond.
Podz only on the floor with a capable on ball defender (like GP, Melt, Moody) and someone else to distribute (Pat, Dray, Jimmy).
Reduce Steph Curry’s minutes (what?!?!) to 25-30 unless he’s rolling. It’ll keep him fresh for the post season. He’s already missed a lot of time this year and I think it’s the pressure of carrying the team.
In general always keep a big guy out there. Post the lions share, but TJD has been ok in some rotations.
I still like Buddy a lot. I think he's just in a slump plus he's 36 yrs old lol. Buddy is the positive energy guy, and his defense is WAY better this year. He also fixed the layups he was missing early in the season. Now do I think Seth needs more minutes- YES!
Kuminga and Wiseman are prove owners should stick to the business side and let basketball people make basketball decisions
Kerr just can’t coach . When jk was playing well . He kept taking him out as well . This show is so annoying.. podz is bad for the team at times , and he keeps getting minutes
Got no problem putting Post as a starting center, but Kerr has to stop playing Green there. Let Dray come off the bench or play the 4 spot, he is too small.
Nobody has given Jonathan more chances than me, but the guy is just a stupid ball player and the warriors system is too smart for him, it's the easiest system in the nba and he can't understand it, I don't know what is so hard about ball movement/ player movement but he doesn't get it and at this point it's easy to see that he will never get it, time to move on, should've traded him a long time ago when other teams were higher on him
This GSW's best starting lineup
Steph
Melton
Butler
Green
Post
2nd group
Spencer
Podz
Moody
Gui
Horford/TJD
the line up is complete with JK..it just needed Jk will be aggressive and all of them and consistency is needed..
Post is for real, as you two say. Spencer? A great, great run. But Melton and Seth will ultimately make the difference, along with Post. I used to hope JK would bring back a good trade player for the Ws. No more, unless JK suddenly brings it over the next month. Otherwise, who wants him? Or anyway will give anything for him, given the Ws want him gone. the Ws bench are showing they don't need JK.
