Alc I don't think Dray is cooked but what is Kerr belief that the Trinity of Steph Klay Dray system. These are all unique special elite athletes who worked in unison. They chased Klay but trying to fill that void by numbers of grossly undersized guards, hoping one will stick.
That's madness!
I am convinced Kerr has to redesigned his style and system to maximize the talent he has.
We keep talking about Steph needs a 20 point Robin. We'll he has 4 yet Kerr can't design an environment to allow but one to consisteny meet the mark.

Record without Dray. 22-23-->3 wins, 6 losses . . . 23-24-->13 wins, 14 losses. This year, 4-5 (not counting the win over the Wizards when he played 3 minutes).

Steph is DEFINITELY tired and beat up, man. He's carrying one of the smallest AND worst shooting teams in the NBA.
John Pettus
2025-01-20 09:08:40 +0000 UTC
There's no reason to believe that. I think he wants to play, but he's been playing a LOT of games as an undersized center over his career, and he's beat up.
John Pettus
2025-01-20 09:06:14 +0000 UTC
I actually don’t think it is that Steph is depressed or grumpy, I think he is sore. Tendinitis in the knees and sore thumbs and ankles. It is hard being 37 in the NBA.
Ed S
2025-01-20 06:06:34 +0000 UTC
I definitely feel the irony. Its like people just look at his scoring numbers without watching the game and his effect on the outcome or his teammates. Back in 23' he even had had Steph throwing his mouthgard to the ground in frustration. Then there was the poignant bench scene of Steph yelling , "You're not fucking helping!" Oh, right, but he scored 37 points on a six win team playing for the lottery. ... Anyway, what can be begrudgingly admitted is that his best days are probably still in front of him, while the same cant be said for the state of the Golden franchise.

I think he only played not to look like he was ducking JP, which he did anyway. Draymond is desperate to keep playing while Steph is still elite so it's not shown how much better they can be without him.
Michael Silberg
2025-01-20 04:58:04 +0000 UTC
It’s been obvious for awhile. When you see Dray antics, those are literal distractions to keep people from noticing when he’s having trouble physically.

Is it just me or is it weird to complain that they took defense out of the league, then say Poole is a good player even though he has 0 defense?
Irritated Inanimate
2025-01-20 04:53:31 +0000 UTC
I keep telling people, he’s burning too much mental energy trying to play through these injuries and still give Vintage Steph. He needs to stop playing and heal, it’s too much for anyone. Just because he can doesn’t mean he should.

Hopefully Kerr notices the difference and stops trying to force things.

2025-01-20 04:49:49 +0000 UTC
He’s not afraid to get physical and it’s better than getting blown by. Also, he has more space to shoot threes. I like the 4 position for Moody for right now

You don’t think Steph’s injuries are enough? He needs to sit down and heal.

Maybe, but I was surprised he was playing. This might be his last season, his body is resisting, it doesn’t want to do this anymore
Irritated Inanimate
2025-01-20 04:46:46 +0000 UTC
Accept the Draymond reduction, but also, why not move JK to his natural spot, the 3? Move Wigs to the 2 when they play together. That leaves Kyle for 4, backup 5, Gui and Moody at the 4 as well if that's how you wanna play Moody.
Point Gawd
2025-01-20 04:13:11 +0000 UTC
Do the Wizards have their draft picks? If so, maybe he's the perfect tank commander. And when they get better, maybe he'll have grown into being a better leader to lead a team to winning basketball.

You can also step to the ball and come down to 2

That’s why the pass has to be on time and on target
Athletic Alchemy
2025-01-20 02:33:05 +0000 UTC
I see the problem, you have to hop as the ball is being passed to you. “Ball in the air feet in the air” if you hop once the ball is in your hands yeah that’s a travel
Athletic Alchemy
2025-01-20 02:32:36 +0000 UTC
I think catch off the hop it gotta be shot. Logically, I think u can still dribble but I’m pretty sure u can’t jab.

Wiggins will be nice, Steph can still shoot the lights out, Dennis looking fine now, if Kuminga get back in his peak form, our offensive game will be stable. The supporting case TJD, Moody Gui are improving in their role. The only thing we need is either Lindy or GP can improve on their offensive game. GP obviously is 3 pt, Lindy is the mid range.

Draymond probably dipped out not to get embarrassed by JP. Steph was probably pissed.
Michael Silberg
2025-01-20 00:53:38 +0000 UTC
My guess is Draymond saw JP cooking early and dipped not to get embarrassed. And that would explain what Curry looked like. Also would explain Kerr's mellowness if he knew.

I don’t have a horse in the race, but it was pretty obvious Steph was struggling, especially w his thumb. I’ve also never seen Steph so detached on the bench, so I appreciate the spotlight on this rarity.
Chip Tingle
2025-01-20 00:27:54 +0000 UTC
Does Steph have a lot going on at home, or is he depressed he's not contending this year? Or did he hear something about trade plans/Draymond he doesn't like? I know it's pointless to speculate really, but I do wish I could get inside his head sometimes. But goddamn, Andrew Wiggins really deserves to be an All Star the way he's playing for us.

Steph played alright man.
Always trying to psychoanalyse every move or facial expression from Steph is just a lame agenda and it’s tiresome.
Every game there’s something negative to say about Steph.
He missed shots… maybe because his thumb is injured, maybe it was an off shooting night.
He still stayed aggressive and did what was needed to win on both sides of the ball.

2025-01-19 23:06:44 +0000 UTC
One could say this was a great game for Jordan Poole. Showtime moves and big numbers. I saw way more than enough of his game over the Golden State years to know that's Foole's gold. When it mattered for a team win, he was a traffic cone on D, bad shot selection, sloppy turnovers. He aint him.

I really hate saying it.. but Draymond looks like the odd man out. With Wiggs.. Kuminga.. and an aging Steph, we just dont need Draymond's defense on a nightly basis and overhunting Steph only tires him out... + you have 10000X more space with the slash bros at the 3 and 4.
"We dont want to mortgage our future"... Well maybe we have to mortgage our past. Great breakdown OG

I miss poole ngl, at the very least he was fun to watch before that 2023 season, I think he could be a starting guard on a championship team in the near future, Im sure some team will trade for him. He seems to be coming into his own and today you need an offensive guard who can shoot even if they arent a defensive player, because you can always protect and hide players. I also am sure he would lock in to sum extent if he was back in the playoffs, still a mini steph to me even his mistakes are curry like. Wiggs really goated tho, dont think ive seem him hit a step back like that before.
This is my worry now.
Kerr see kuminga as a 4
We now have draymond
Kyle, GUI, and moody all soaking up the 4 spot. Who's gonna lose mins?

Dray was out of pocket for punching him. That’s why he texted the apology from his hospital bed. But the way JP plays - it’s only useful as a Lou Will type. Gunner off the bench. It’s incredible they were able to bottle it for ‘22. But he increasingly just was off the bench as that postseason went on

So if Moody plays best at the 4. And so does JK. Then we just don’t need Dray back at all this year then?
GP talks a lot of shit for someone who can’t shoot (has to check he has the ball first).
I’m so glad they traded Poole. He’s a cancer for team chemistry
