he got over it and back into the game pretty quick to be fair. but I bet it influenced him to be less careful about getting Klay on the arm
Daniel Fries
2025-02-28 17:40:29 +0000 UTCI think we are saying similar things. I see your point about our guys growing over the last year in roles that may not have been best suited for them BUT my point is the gravity/play making/ bball IQ from jimmy is affecting our guys in a positive way. Buddy is playing less (as he should be in that 20 minute role), podz looks like he finally took that next step as a 2nd year and moody getting consistent minutes is hitting shots and becoming a decent defender. It was all a trickle down from Jimmy in the rotation.
Matt Hanna
2025-02-27 15:11:01 +0000 UTCBack when we were all much younger, I had so much respect and admiration for Steve Kerr. To see such a fall from grace, to see someone who will lie through his teeth with such good acting skills to finally basically admit that the Warriors can't win because he's afraid to upset the locker room balance - i.e. afraid to upset Draymond - knowing that winning isn't what mattered most to the coach for three f'ing years - making up reasons for inexplicable lineup and rotation decisions, that all finally make disgusting sense - that is the kind of dishonesty I'm talking about.
Michael Silberg
2025-02-27 10:46:02 +0000 UTCI’m not mad at the dishonesty, at this point we’ve learned that the fan base does not give you credit for being honest, so why bother?

2025-02-27 09:38:19 +0000 UTCI think Kerr starts Kuminga off the bench in the beginning, less pressure for him, he can ramp up at his own speed if he’s not under the gun to score straight off the bat. After that, he’ll probably start messing with lineups in practice a little to see if anything changes significantly. Otherwise, I don’t see Kerr putting Kuminga into the starting lineup unless he sees a significant improvement when he does it in practice. I think Kerr would like a little stability himself right now and it ain’t broke, so no reason to start Kuminga just because. Kuminga getting 30 min off the bench worked great for this team.

2025-02-27 09:36:04 +0000 UTCIt’s not even all about Jimmy, it’s the fact that the Young Dubs have pushing themselves to fill that larger role for over a year because the team thought they would have no better options. Now they have pushed their development past where it would have been if Jimmy had been here since the beginning of the year. But Jimmy definitely makes note of each player’s role and their strengths and he encourages them to be more of themselves. That’s the biggest change I see, it’s the fact that no one is trying to cram them into roles that don’t fit their skill set.

2025-02-27 08:46:30 +0000 UTCI’m very curious to know Iggy’s thoughts on the play he watched during the game.
Irritated Inanimate
2025-02-27 08:43:00 +0000 UTCYou are not wrong
Irritated Inanimate
2025-02-27 08:41:59 +0000 UTCI was thinking that the Warriors have been looking overseas for awhile, much more potential globally than there is in the buyout market
Irritated Inanimate
2025-02-27 08:41:46 +0000 UTCNot necessary. Kuminga just has to be able to contribute and not hold the team back, he doesn’t actually have to improve at the moment
Irritated Inanimate
2025-02-27 08:40:29 +0000 UTCExcept there’s a very good chance that this is his last contract. I think what really motivates Jimmy is the ring. He has a very good chance of becoming the savior if they get to a legit run this year or next year, as a vet who is in his final years, you couldn’t write a better narrative for your final years.
Irritated Inanimate
2025-02-27 08:39:02 +0000 UTCYou think Steph and Dray wouldn’t take the time to revel in pettiness if Jimmy wasn’t there? Doubtful. They take it where they can get it and Steph is notorious for allowing revenge to fuel his games. He’s delivering on the entertainment part of the package. And it works, many analysts and reporters went into depth about Steph’s retaliation and then rated it against his previous revenge games. It’s part of the package. Same for Dray, they know what they’re doing.
Irritated Inanimate
2025-02-27 08:36:50 +0000 UTCIt doesn’t mean Kerr is going to be consistently proactive, but the team definitely plays better when he is.
Irritated Inanimate
2025-02-27 08:32:58 +0000 UTCI don’t like any of these body obsessed narratives, the implication that the team owns any of your free time is not something the players should be accepting. I do think Luka needs to be ready to play as soon as training camp starts and he has to figure out how to do whatever he needs to to prevent injuries, but making insinuations about his weight, his smoking, his drinking…. Nope, I don’t like any of that. Guy is 25 years old and he looks like he’s legit 35 years old. There’s a reason people think he’s only got another 10 years of play at the most
Irritated Inanimate
2025-02-27 08:31:41 +0000 UTCJimmy isn’t even sweating when he plays, even though he’s obviously winded near the end sometimes. It’s like watching SGA play where he’s barely sweating, there’s no mouth breathing from exertion, there’s barely any exclamation on a fight to the rim. Jimmy just calmly doing his job and delivering all night on time.
Irritated Inanimate
2025-02-27 08:27:35 +0000 UTCI was praying for Klay to let it go, the last thing Klay should be doing is reminding everyone that this kid took his starting spot last year and it turns out, Kerr had made the correct decision. The bitching to the refs is the one thing about Podz play that annoys the hell out of me, get your ass back on defense, kid!
Irritated Inanimate
2025-02-27 08:24:35 +0000 UTCGrass ain’t always greener on the other side, it’s greener where you water it. Klay being on one team for his whole career meant that he really couldn’t fathom how special what he had here was. People would tell them he was lucky and they wish they had what he did, especially since ge seemed so happy on the water with Rocco. But Point Gawd is correct, the focus for Klay has been different. Same thing happened when KD joined, Steph took a step back, but Klay said “that’s cool for you Steph, I’m still taking my shots”

2025-02-26 19:13:13 +0000 UTCApricot’s breakdowns are for one or 2 sets. It’s like a zoom in on one of the many things that Alch shows us. Very complementary to Alch, not redundant. :)

2025-02-25 23:07:55 +0000 UTCI see E1P as a supplemental vitamin, Alch is the main meal! It’s fun to learn rhe plays!
Allison Hendrix
2025-02-25 13:41:43 +0000 UTCyan't get right is right. All four want to "Prove they can still do it." But the difference we are talking about is what "IT" is for the players. For Dray and Steph "IT" is "Win another title" and for JB "IT" is "Get back to the Finals." For Klay "IT" is "Get my 25 points." One of these is not like the others.
Point Gawd
2025-02-25 11:19:22 +0000 UTCLooks like happy days may be here again, at least it seems the fellas got their groove back. Watching the Petty King and his Duke of Green go at PJ Washington for his night night diss was compelling theater. It also shows you how hard those two ride together, they will def not go gentle into that good night. A couple narratives I truly hope will disappear in the light of this new dawn. The "we shouldn't have let go of JP" narrative, when he will always just be a bucket for himself. And the "Thats why I left" riff by overrated ex-gm Bob Myers when he's doing hot takes on television about the Dubs luxury tax and personnel issues. (Insert sample of D Green infamous tirade to KD - "leave B---ch, we won without you").
Michael E
2025-02-25 06:59:50 +0000 UTCIdk. Y’all sound a little wild. We’re high right now but Klay did a really hard thing choosing himself against the trio. If this dubs season goes a certain way, you could easily say “proving they can still do it” about Draymond and Steph too. You never know how good the mavs could do either. It was all for the best
yan't get right
2025-02-25 05:01:25 +0000 UTCAlc is right that Steph, Dray, and Jimmy B just want to win. You can say a lot of good things about Klay, but one thing you can't say is "He just wants to win." Since the injury he has been intensely focused on "Being the MAN" and "Proving he can still do it." That foolish selfishness is why, for the team to have a chance to win, he had to go.
Point Gawd
2025-02-25 04:45:17 +0000 UTCTotally agree. It isn't clear to me how JK works back into the line-up. Also, remember how everyone thought Klay joining the rolling Dubs after his injury was gonna take the team even higher, but he came back and messed up the chemistry and mucked up the offense? Well, . . . it doesn't always work when you add a talent but to do so are forced to tamper with what's already working. Hope that doesn't happen here, 'cause JK has already earned those minutes. And if it worked it could be beautiful.
Point Gawd
2025-02-25 04:43:04 +0000 UTCSeen 'em both. If heresy is gonna happen, others may be good, but in my opinion Alc wins in a knockout!
Point Gawd
2025-02-25 04:40:13 +0000 UTCHe is Kool but besides the technical breakdowns, Alc get the impromptu "spitting" down pack.a
Dale Happy Knowles
2025-02-25 03:17:53 +0000 UTCI like what I'm seeing here if everyone stays healthy we can get deep into the playoffs this is exciting!

2025-02-25 02:33:10 +0000 UTCAlch I know it's kind of heresy to recommend another content creator to a content creator, but I've been cheating on you with a guy called EricApricot on YouTube. Like you he seems to be a true OG Warriors fan and he's coming out with some really nice play-by-play analysis vids that are showing how the Jimmy Effect is working on the court.
Neal X
2025-02-25 01:46:23 +0000 UTCThere is an extremely detailed Wikipedia page on Taran Armstrong including 17 footnotes. Most troubling thing is his frequent injuries.
Jerry Heverly
2025-02-25 00:49:53 +0000 UTCWhere does JK slot in and get minutes and shots that obviously makes us better than we are now? The 20 minutes and 3 shots from Gui? Maybe the GP2 minutes when we aren't chasing a speed guard. Minutes from Moody? - what we need is a hustle/spacing guy who doesn't need the ball in his hands. I think Jimmy fills MOST of the role we wanted from JK, at a much higher level. Anybody got ideas?
John Pettus
2025-02-25 00:45:10 +0000 UTCI think the intent is to have Jimmy out there for ALL of the non-Steph minutes, basically. If not Jimmy+Dray.
John Pettus
2025-02-25 00:40:39 +0000 UTCI don know about that. The honeymoon seems to last right up until his next contract negotiations start. Every. Time.
John Pettus
2025-02-25 00:39:17 +0000 UTCWho is the guy impersonating Moody? He certainly isn't the same guy who bricked his way through the first half of the season.
Jerry Heverly
2025-02-25 00:37:00 +0000 UTCDude was in his rebound relationship and immediately got broken up with. Klay is learning that there aren't long term partners out there like he had with Steph and Dray.
John Pettus
2025-02-25 00:36:36 +0000 UTCLove watching this team
gimmeaocmommymilkersnobuttigeg
2025-02-24 23:58:59 +0000 UTCAnd the guy they traded for, Anthony "Street Clothes" Davis, is in street clothes, just as anyone should have expected (and after less than 1 game, no less). I mean, how can you be upset at Luka for not taking care of his body, and then trade Luka for someone that no amount of care is going to keep them on the court? Just bizarre.
Point Gawd
2025-02-24 23:54:37 +0000 UTC"Three the Hard Way" LOL Any theories on the JK situation? Something is not adding up. Either the injury is far worse than we've been told, or Celebrini and the team are keeping JK out for some other reason. Either way, the apparent dishonesty with the fan base is the kind of disrespect for the fan base that ends with late and low energy on the home court.
Michael Silberg
2025-02-24 23:54:00 +0000 UTCHe was up to 35% this season
Stephen Jones
2025-02-24 23:47:46 +0000 UTCSteph always wins the Steph minutes so imagine Steph and JK 😜 then Jimmy and Dray winning the non Steph minutes, man the west is about to find out. Plus a finishing 5 of Steph, Podz/Moody, Jimmy, JK and Draymond, man that's gonna be something defensively and offensively cos one thing about JK, Dray and Jimmy, they are ice cold and will hit the big shots when it counts. Then Steph is the icing on the cake, Lord I'm getting excited 😊

Ejikeme Uzoigwe
2025-02-24 22:14:42 +0000 UTCI thought a change of scenery was necessary for Klay to rebound emotionally. It doesn't appear to have helped him unfortunately.
Alex Kay
2025-02-24 22:12:34 +0000 UTCFound myself watching podz fast twitch defense instead of the ball at times That time he no call fouled Klay -rewind a possession and you'll see podz gets no-call fouled, spends 2 seconds bitching to the official, then gets his head back in the game with a small chip on his shoulder. Probably why he fouled Klay - and why he got away with it
Daniel Fries
2025-02-24 22:11:23 +0000 UTCIt’s a shame. I think he’s gonna wake up at some point and realize he cheated himself out of enjoying three years of his NBA career (including a ring!)
Ejikeme Uzoigwe
2025-02-24 22:08:53 +0000 UTCKlay and Luca were actually getting some good chemistry before he got hurt. The Mavs are still shell shocked and have a bitter fan base to deal with to boot
Mike Gonzalez
2025-02-24 22:06:21 +0000 UTCThe +/- guys pointed out that Steve’s been playing Steph hold down the fort with the bench guys and letting Draymond & Jimmy run up the score with the starters. Probably the plan to slide JK right into the spot playing alongside Steph. If Himmy, Dray & Podz are winning the starter minutes and Steph & JK are working the middle lol. I mean, it feels like and embarrassment of riches. So early but hard not to get giddy.
Ejikeme Uzoigwe
2025-02-24 21:58:37 +0000 UTCThat was last season Klay right there, only trying to get his I almost yelled at him like he was still here

Natto Santo
2025-02-24 21:14:42 +0000 UTCThe amazing thing is that Jimmy is making Moody and Podz playing better by learning how to play with their pace and body. Also Jimmy makes chef and donkey have less TOs. Now when JK is back, he is important to the line up when Jimmy is resting. Curry and JK lineup has to be effective for us to have a chance to win it all.
Natto Santo
2025-02-24 21:12:33 +0000 UTCJimmy has flat out impressed me so far. He reminds me of a technical Muay Thai fighter or Muay Femur they call it where their super power is their timing and fight IQ and his ability to get to the line plus his nail game is the equivalent of using the teep kick or sweeping the opponent. It doesn’t always lead to a knockout but really breaks the rhythm of the opponent and asserts your dominance in the fight. Crazy high level stuff I just wasn’t aware of when he played in Miami
Jacob Ricafrente
2025-02-24 21:07:59 +0000 UTCKlay definitely upset that Luka's gone because legitimately every other player on the Mavericks cannot drive and dish to save their lives. Also beyond that obviously the franchise is in shambles.

2025-02-24 21:02:50 +0000 UTCEven if he don't if he maintains what he did in his last 10 games, that's more than enough to compliment Steph, and Jimmy high output. Starters: Steph | Moody | Jimmy | Dray | Post Bench: Podski | Buddy | JK | TJD/Santos | Looney Thats a Chip lineup and rotation
Dale Happy Knowles
2025-02-24 20:47:34 +0000 UTCIt doesn’t seem like we will be able to afford him. We missed our chance to trade for him.
Stephen Jones
2025-02-24 20:43:43 +0000 UTCThanks for making that point about the coaches waking up too, not just the players! How many times has Kerr let the opposing team out-hustle and out-execute us for 5, 10 minutes out the gate without pumping the brakes? Seeing him call a Pop early timeout two games in a row did a lot to restore my faith in him going forward
Asa Forsythe
2025-02-24 20:42:14 +0000 UTC"that's probably a pause" 😂😂😂 Man, I think the magic of Jimmy is pretty clear now. I love Steph and Draymond but they're so successful at this point that they can't be example setters anymore. Most of what they cared about last night was pissing on them Mavs boys for the previous disrespect, but that's a thing that NONE of the young guys can really tap into yet. They're trying to put food on the table. So Jimmy comes along and really doesn't take on any of that dynasty pettiness, but just produces. He sets the example of how to play alongside the volatile nature of Steph and Dray. And his presence allows Steph/Draymond to forget about trying to be mentors for a bunch of hungry role players and just focus on their boastful nonsense lmao. He might be the best mercenary of this era if not for Kawhi's Toronto run if we're being honest and we got him at a perfect time in our team's evolution
