Examining Warriors’ panic level, impact of Andre Iguodala’s impending return | Dubs Talk
12 Comments
IMHO, Steve Kerr's constant tinkering of the lineup rotations last season was an effective psychological mechanism to keep players striving to find the best version of themselves and effectively impact winning; integrating Wiseman, Kuminga, Moody, JaMychal, And Donte into the rotation after the departure of GPII, OPJ, Bjelica, JTA, and Lee will allow Kerr to do what he did last year: constantly tinker lineup rotations pursuant to a strategy that effectively impacts winning! 🌉 Let's Go Warriors!
To be totally honest part of me hopes that the warriors go 0-5 on this road trip so that change can come because as presently constructed they will not repeat, it’s just not gonna happen. The starting 5 is great don’t get me wrong and Poole is solid but after that it gets shaky. Moody is decent, Jamyxhal is inconsistent, Wise is hurting the team, kuminga i don’t even know what’s up with him and Donte is a question mark. We need veterans off the bench for a title run, this 2 timelines thingy is really Sulla disservice to Steph Curry and the last years of his prime.
Besides Donte Divincenzo The warriors have been lucky so far with injuries but what if someone goes down? We can’t afford being this bad
As currently constructed this team isn’t going to repeat. The young guys aren’t going to develop enough for us to rely on them. Im not pressing the panic button but if these guys don’t at-least develop a dog mentality they should be shipped. The mistakes don’t worry me its more so the fight in them.
You can’t be soft. You gotta be a soldier. I say after 15-20 games they should know the team’s direction. Development while contending is a difficult task in itself. Idk if thats a recipe for a chip. If they are still below 500 after 15 games they gotta flip some pieces.
Small ball line up during these times will never be effective unless it’s small line up against small unit,, I think in every game wiseman and looney must be inside ,, or there must be balannce of bigs and small guys,, big guys these days on all teams are fast and could shoot inside/out,,
Start Wiseman and have Looney help that second unit defensively this way you have Draymond anchoring the defense for the starters and Looney anchoring the 2nd unit
Andre cannot save this second unit he was not factor last year why would he be this year smh switch Looney and Wiseman
Wiseman still looks out of place most games and effects rhythm. Especially on defense. Poole is a little overrated in my opinion. Not sure the Warriors should have gave him that contract just yet. Not sure why Kuminga isn't out there. He's so athletic. Needs to nail down his jump shot mechanics. Maybe that's why.
I am glad that Wiseman was mentioned in this podcast. I want to see him become a defensive force on the court but understanding his own struggles makes it easier to watch and wait for his development.
Thompson is wasting the young guys’ time. As Barkley said, Thompson is not going to be the same as he was before injury. He contributed to last year title, but the major contributions came from the others. He is overvalued and expected for more than he can really do. I believe that other shooters of the team can reach better percentage than Thompson if they don’t care about missing shots. Plus, the others can run fast break, can drive through, can fight tough rebounding, etc.
Today’s NBA has advanced to a higher level. Thompson doesn’t fit anymore.
I believe Coach Kerr will figure out how to get the team ready for another title. Please don’t let the current situation last too long. Internal complain will rise. Team chemistry, the best of the league, will be hurt.
Owner needs to make it clear to Meyers and his crew to support Kerr and let him make the coaching decisions, If the Dubs were a boy, this is the part of their maturation where their voice is cracking. Ride it out. Their chip hangover, their 1st in history path to continuing dynasty maintenance is lessening with each game. Poole is smart enough to be the 2nd team captain. Klay wrinkles are being ironed out. If Andre gives us anything in addition to his coaching of the complete team, read Dray, it's a bonus.
Kerith and Monte rule <3
Put Draymond in the second unit with Jordon, and either Mody or JK at the starting 4. Maybe even swap JMych and Klay. Have Steph Wiggs, Moody JMych and Looney start, and Draymond, Poole, Klay and Wiseman run the bench. Klay and Dray have to still get their 30+minutes, maybe just not in the very first minute of the game. The bench is too young and too new and JP is not strong enough to lead a completely disoriented group of rooks and new guys. The rooks and new guys will play much better surrounded by others who are already familiar with the system.
