If you watch Cleveland games you will quickly see that he is the real deal.

2025-03-25 06:30:06 +0000 UTCI want him to get some playing time so bad... was hoping we would get to see him in the hawks game but we all know what happened in that game.

2025-03-24 08:51:40 +0000 UTCI do agree it’s probably more nervous system than a legitimately mental thing. It really looks like he just did too much back to back to back and he hasn’t given his body enough time to fully recover. He’s older now, the body does take a longer time to fully recover on some things to get back to optimal performance. Whatever it is, everyone can see it. And Kerr has to make him sit or plan his longer stretches of rest more strategically if he wants to make it through the season. It doesn’t matter if he thinks he can play, it will always be a matter of there is a hard stop somewhere if you don’t get enough rest. You can either stretch it out and do a little each game until you need to rest or you can empty the battery entirely over 3-4 games in a row, but once the battery is depleted, you need to wait the entire length of time until it’s fully charged again. You can’t mental your way through something like that, at his age, it’s not a mental block. I said the same thing earlier this season when we noticed a similar situation and everyone thought Steph was depressed or something. No, his battery was on empty and can’t keep up with how far his brain is trying to push him physically, he was spending yo much energy physically and mentally. And it will happen again and again. It’s a new thing and he has to figure out how to manage it.

2025-03-23 17:12:28 +0000 UTC@Dale Happy Knowles how do you explain Steph's lack of whistles ?

2025-03-22 22:10:47 +0000 UTCI don't mean to be dramatic or anything but the Warriors' success has become the only thing in the outside world giving me joy right now lol. Went Steph went down I was like "time to go on anti-depressants, then".

2025-03-22 16:54:37 +0000 UTCIf that happened to SGA or some other bigger guy, it would've been a foul. Immediately would've blown their whistle. Imagine having to put up with that bias your entire career. Steph was somewhat in Psycho Steph mode since February. It's only in the past week something's different.

2025-03-22 16:36:59 +0000 UTCJimmy has not lost a thing. He just don't need to shoot plenty on this team.

2025-03-22 10:43:23 +0000 UTCPlay: “Gravity Switch” Setup: Steph – Right wing Jimmy – Left mid-post Kuminga – Top of the key Buddy – Left corner Post – Right elbow --- Action Steps: 1. Steph sprints through a staggered double screen from Post and Kuminga, curling toward the top of the key. 2. Jimmy flashes to the nail, acting like he’s calling for an iso. 3. Steph draws the double on the curl, and immediately hits Buddy in the corner—if open, it’s an easy three. 4. If not, Buddy swings it to Jimmy, who now has an open elbow iso or kick out to Kuminga, who's cutting baseline behind the chaos. 5. Meanwhile, Post sets a blindside back screen for Kuminga, then rolls toward the rim for a lob or tip-in cleanup. 6. Steph relocates to the opposite wing—you blink, and he’s already open again. --- Options Galore: Buddy catch-and-shoot Jimmy elbow fade or bully ball Kuminga lob or dump off Post cleanup or screen-reset Steph relocation three

2025-03-22 10:37:19 +0000 UTCInteresting choice if words- Messy! More like crocket as .... It's a scripted business. Does it always plays out how they want it. No their are injuries, chess games and a high percentage of plain old bone heads like Gilbert Arenas who ain't about what is directed and go get theirs. But remember it's a business and every so often the nba has to through disrupted in the front line so they can keep the High Rollers at bay. Vegas always wins!

2025-03-22 10:10:24 +0000 UTCNeeds to be less deliberate, probably.

2025-03-22 09:23:27 +0000 UTCWhen we first got Jimmy I thought they should implement the triangle. I believe they’ve been utilizing that in certain parts of the game. We put Jimmy at the low post in a triangle formation and he over powers a defender or kicks it out for an open 3. Or we get Dray posting in the mid-post baseline and Jimmy sets a pick for a curry 3. Or when Jimmy drives the baseline and hits someone at the corner. The ball is moving more from in to out, rather than side to side which increases the percentage of shooting 3s. As for Kuminga, patience as his timing really is off, many of his outside shots are released on the way down, some on purpose, some not…. Great vid Alch, you did Battle dirty 🤣

2025-03-22 06:36:59 +0000 UTCNot quite sure I’m picking up what you’re saying in 1. Kuminga is being too deliberate with his attack, yet he needs to be more deliberate??
Adrian Lee
2025-03-22 06:14:00 +0000 UTCI agree, although gotta give Poole some credit: kid was a bucket down the stretch that year with Steph out. Our offense seems a little less explosive right now, as long as we can keep scoring well by committee and the youngsters play clutch ball, we'll be okay
Karim Q
2025-03-22 04:35:33 +0000 UTCNBA is messy man, looking at scores today. Teams that have 0 to play for, playing hard as fuck for no apparent reason. LMAO crazy!

Ejikeme Uzoigwe
2025-03-22 01:12:26 +0000 UTCI realized Two problems: 1. kuminga is too deliberate with his attck. When he tries to attack the rim or post up, everyone on the court knows what he's trying to do. He needs to be more deliberate. 2. Did Jimmy lose his miderange game? He used to be a midrange demon, know all he does is passing and attacking the rim

2025-03-21 23:32:35 +0000 UTCWhatever it is, we can all agree he should just sit out for now.
Chester Chan
2025-03-21 23:19:02 +0000 UTCThe long effect of small but chronic mental burdens can be largely unnoticed. Steph has spent years filling out his frame to not be a liability on defense, so maybe less focus on his back workouts. Not to mention that this is the first year in… 7 seasons(?) he’s had a reliable center - he’s always been pretty involved in those collapse-help situations because we haven’t had a footer, further taxing the body. And then the Olympics… he balled out but making those adjustments and playing through the summer was by no means a break from the regular/post-season. It’s probably no coincidence that the year he starts rolling the ankles again, he has back issues. He should probably take the rest of the regular season off just to rehab, get right, and let the team find its rhythm on offense. If this team can’t do that, and even more so win off the back of its defense, it could be another early exit.
Dylan
2025-03-21 23:17:56 +0000 UTCNGL this kind of reminds me of the 2022, season where Curry got injured and the rest of the team clicked then he came back and you know the rest. My fingers are crossed it happens like that again.

Coffeestains
2025-03-21 23:07:52 +0000 UTCMental health is a real thing but if he was shooting poorly or missing clutch shots, then I'd buy it. Doing stupid shit like blind passes, wrap around passes, cross court passes, and threading the needle, are all selective decisions stemming from bad habits.
Chester Chan
2025-03-21 22:49:11 +0000 UTCBtw, Alch, today is Quentin Post’s 25th birthday (5 yrs of college). 🎂 For one of the newest guys to recognize a need for his team when they’re down, and then to have no compunction going directly to 19K fans for it? Unreal. Coming after Steph’s ugly injury, it brought a tear to my eye. What an incredible sign of character, and also competitiveness - QP wants to f-ing WIN. Welcome aboard, kid.

Luke Zhang
2025-03-21 22:11:00 +0000 UTCWe can call it whatever we want but I always feared that one day the disrespect shown to Steph by the NBA would materialize in a significant injury. Steph is the only super if not mega star who don't get the whistle when he drives. Steph don't even get the FTAs what the average player get per drive. We pray because he is generally very healthy he will recover quickly. In the interim Kerr gat a eat crow and allow JK to be the beast he can be in carrying the load.

Athletic Alchemy
2025-03-21 21:52:04 +0000 UTCIt’s so good to see the ‘Green Light District’ getting stops whilst raining 3s. Post has a big road trip ahead, especially if he’s starting again now. Hollinger wrote that QP is a candidate to opt-out and extend in the offseason by signing a 3/4yr bargain contract, which is great news!
Stephen Jones
2025-03-21 21:38:24 +0000 UTCDamn so Steph gonna be out the entire road trip? Its 14 days.. Thats a long time to try to hold the 6th spot without him.

2025-03-21 21:02:08 +0000 UTCRemember when that VC prick got banned because he shoved Kyle Lowry after he fell in the stands? I wonder if league policy makes an exception if a player starts damn near making out with the fan’s wife 😂

Andre Brooks
2025-03-21 20:48:04 +0000 UTCFrom waiting tables, to public speaking, to playing ball - at least half of peak performance is being able to remain calm and focus. That slo mo of Jimmy never taking his eyes off the ball after that block… I feel genuinely inspired lol
Ejikeme Uzoigwe
2025-03-21 20:42:03 +0000 UTCI call Steph's "mental fatigue" bs. You don't have someone as competitive as Steph calling it mental fatigue. My bet is that he is injured and he lost flexibility and strength in his back.

2025-03-21 20:34:27 +0000 UTCI'm terrified of how good Post is 😂

2025-03-21 20:33:25 +0000 UTCDraymond needs to put Pat Riley on his Christmas card list.....all those 3's?! Cuz he doesn't have to be the only one who carries the "vision" for the game on court. Draymond is back to being fun to watch play and root for and I am enjoying it!
Allison Hendrix
2025-03-21 20:32:52 +0000 UTCWe talked for a long time how jimmy didn’t have his legs or his wind. Now - he just not pressurized enough for it? I wonder if he’s lost a step there - but clearly makes up for it with playmaking and D

2025-03-21 20:24:29 +0000 UTCwho else notices that those end-of-game desperation shots nearly ALWAYS go in for teams? bank shots, drifting, heavily contested, logo, you name it. it's fuckin weird.
OhSomeABeanLoadin
2025-03-21 20:23:23 +0000 UTCWe couldve fucking sat him dude......obviously that shit can happen any game at any time. But like. There was just no need to be playing Steph man. He gets 1 game off as an exhausted 37 yo, but Kuminga gets to cruise around for 2.5 months????? Cmon man. Clearly Im salty mostly because Steph is injured. Maybe this could be a blessing in disguise for the team to really find themselves in the "non-Steph" minutes. God knows they need it. Was it a foul or not? Who knows. Who cares. We all know the refs dont give a shit about Curry and actively call AGAINST him for the fun of it. Now we just have to absolutely pray that Dray and Jimmy dont get hurt in ANY WAY. With how hard Draymond is playing and now with all the attention on Jimmy, Im genuinely concerned at the longevity of their current form. For christs sake is this team not allowed a real PG for 2 seconds? We get Podz back to take the weight off Curry and IMMEDIATELY he goes down. Does this means more Pat Spencer minutes? Or maybe Gui plays a little PG? I have no idea lol. Okay okay okay, sorry Ill stop complaining for a second lol. The Dutch Delivery. The Tree with the Three. Quinten "Put some Respek on his name" Post!!! My god I wish I could just donate any of my muscle to him to get him stronger. This man is lethal and I love it. Even the mistakes he makes, theyre usually out of a good intention or effort. He's often a little too aggressive or eager sometimes, and body moves faster than he thinks. But as a rookie??? Im amazed at how good he is. With Curry out as well, what do you think this does for Kuminga? Does he get even more ISO calls? I would hope so, even if it looks rough right now. We're gonna need that scoring bad. I feel as if NBA media is ignoring Dray's campaign for DPOY right now. They definitely are paying attention to the Warriors because of their recent run, but its all been about Curry and Jimmy. Draymond somehow looks like he's found a second mini-prime. If Draymond was 6'10+, everyone would be talking about him. The fact that he's doing what he's doing at his size AND age right now is nothing short of incredible. Its a damn shame that there isnt one more Cavs matchup this season. I'd really want to see a matchup between those two at full strength.
Jansen E
2025-03-21 20:18:50 +0000 UTCWe gotta cut JK a little slack. He’s still working his way back to game speed after being out over 2 months. Can’t expect him to jump back in like a vet. He was still growing and figuring out these reads before he got hurt.
Steven Jones
2025-03-21 20:18:35 +0000 UTCYes eventually here I will do a scouting report on him.. hopefully when we get a week off during the play in games
Athletic Alchemy
2025-03-21 20:17:21 +0000 UTCKerr overdoing it here, podz is best off the bench don’t start this 3 guard lineup shit again. Dray started well but this trapping and top locking shit only works because Draymonds on the court lets be real. Silver is a terrible commissioner
