Goooood point. I also wonder how much input the other coaches have or are they just being yes men? I also heard that someone else does the rotations but idk if that’s true.

National TV or not, that's a game they'll lose. Celtis have only lost 3 games at home all season. Just use it as an opportunity to get him and maybe Draymond some rest

Maybe they are afraid other big men will see how we treated the one big to sign with dubs in forever. IDK just a guess. However, I agree with what you guys are saying he has been terrible. Also, we lost many 4th quarter games last year. I still think he has to do with Klay shooting too many shots and his poor defense. I love what I been seeing out of Klay of recently.

Something else I just realized is that this shows no ability to coach the players himself into favorable positions, but wants players that can do it on their own, his favoritism then stems from not being able to adapt the system to new players, and if their strengths lie outside the current outdated parameters of the system he literally can’t use them and treats them like they can’t play. (He was benching Kuminga)
That inability to actually get up and coach guys into the right place is probably why you never see him constantly being vocal and standing up calling things out on the court, the problem is that his assistants do the same off his example.

I like Steve Kerr a lot as a person. A few years ago I wouldn't have heard a single bad word against him. But starting with the performance of Team USA and going until now, his weaknesses and bad habits have become more and more apparent to the point where you'd have to be in serious denial not to admit it now.

No individual player is worth sacrificing what's best for the team, period. I don't care if they promised him a brand new Mercedes. Unless this was something actually in writing, they sit him down and say, "yo bro, that promise was also based on the assumption that you could play defense better than a traffic cone... so, tough luck..."
Neal X
2024-02-29 16:22:39 +0000 UTC
Well, he doesn't get more than that. He averaged 11.5 minutes in february. Problem is against young fast paced teams, he shouldn't even be getting 3 minutes. Realistically he can only play against old, half court offenses.

2024-02-29 15:51:36 +0000 UTC
He must've been promised around 15 a night. Can you really blame them, for promising that during summer though? I think I would've as well. It's just impossible to foresee your 19th pick being a starter level player, Kuminga taking a BIG step, and even your 57th pick being a serviceable end of bench role player.

Im 100% buying into the agenda that Dario cant have more than 12-15 minutes anymore. He's so bad defensively and his occasional wide open 3 isnt worth his defense. TJD needs to get 90% of his minutes and let CP3 spam that pick and roll and let the young big feast. Dario and Looney are really getting on my damn nerves. Or maybe its just the coaching staff forcing minutes for them that bothers me.
If games were only 3 quarters long, we would be a #1 seed right now. But the amount of blown 4th quarters because of terrible rotations to start the 4th is getting disgusting. The fucking WIZARDS almost came back on us. We basically won because they ran out of time.
If any one expects this team to win a playoff series, just look at their 4th quarter stats. They are one of the worst 4th quarter teams in the league. And in the playoffs, youre kidding yourself if you can win that way.

Hey , my apologies for putting this link here... its a very real breakdown of 49ers LOSS in super bowl. For me it is a healing video. For all those hoping Alc would be able to provide a breakdown of the loss, I think this will satisfy.

By the way, I have no interest in this fellow's channel, He's just a good guy like Alc.
Seems like shooting for Klay is like a guy on a drug. He just gets enamored with the idea that no matter what he throws up (no pun), it will drop, and he seems to search for that rush.

not tryin to big up kerr but he is comin around. Think it just takes him longer to make these needed changes. But in the end, klay is comin off the bench & kuminga is starting. Long way to go but hopefully he keeps adjusting. The Klay thing in itself is a huuuuuge accomplishment, def need a bit of finesse to get that one done & keep the core happy

Dario should not be playing at all at this point. It seems to me that the coaches are either too timid to tell Kerr they should bench Dario; Kerr is too stubborn and doesn't want to believe his own eyes, or Kerr believes this is actually good basketball.
Give Dario's minutes to Trayce and Moody. Let the young guns cook.

Moody plays bigger than he is and Dario plays smaller than he is, no rim protection and his offense is limited to shooting and no rim pressure. I don’t think we’d really get any smaller tbh
Luke Zhang
2024-02-28 22:50:47 +0000 UTC
The defense is only as good as the worst defender and Dario is the weakest link in the league. Looney is a liability on offense, but it's possible to work around/scheme around that.
With those two you're picking your poison; you're going to be playing 4v5 on one end or the other. Dario should only see spot minutes like when the shot clock is off and we have the final shot of a quarter. He should never be asked to defend; he doesn't know how.
All in all, Trayce is a positive on both ends. He's also a better defender than current Loon, with a higher defensive potential than peak Loon. Not playing him is Kerr's biggest ongoing mistake.

Great point about Kerr but I disagree about curry. Chip contenders aren’t about having a superstar who can score 40 every night. I think that’s confusing a regular season MVP race with guys who *actually* will win you a championship. Rarely are those two players the same thing. Steph curry is an S tier championship star player, him and his team just have to get to get to the playoffs in one piece.

Dubs are so corny sometimes. Steph playing awful feels like the perfect opportunity for him to be a decoy whenever he’s in. But as soon as he cashes a couple threes in the fourth, they start moving heaven and earth to get him the ball to be the savior. It’s like: just come off it man, a game like this is not the one where you need your ego stroked. 3 quarters of shit play against the wizards and then turning it on up 12 is nasty work
Also: calling Shamet the squire is HILARIOUS

I understand the frustration with Kerrs rotations,I don't get it either but let's be real here, his brilliance at getting the most out of role players and our drafting of Kuminga and Podz has saved our ass this year. With how old the core looks and is now its a miracle we are still playoff bound. Curry is done as a chip contending superstar, every contender has that guy that goes out and without even trying can drop 35 or 40 and Steph just can't do that anymore

I don't get the kerr extension. He literally showed he was trying to get 1 of our better players kuminga out the rotation....won't give tjd the run he deserves, and moody has to have everything fall his way just to get on the court, meanwhile a new vet let dario has a guaranteed leash when he won't be here next year. Also the lack of creativity to utilize jk offensively is still very apparent. I see you alc pointing out what we should see more of with kuminga but do you really believe Kerr wants to feature jk in anyway? I see the same stubborn coach who was forced to make a few changes but to his core we know who and what he likes.

I’m so sick of Looney getting more minutes than TJD, especially after Kerr once again said some slick shit that he does not actually practice, “I just want to play players who understand what makes winning,” bro you were playing Anthony Lamb and Ty Jerome, but why even cap like this? I saw Saric throw two straight turnovers and you pulled Trayce? What message did that send? I wouldn’t even be this mad if I didn’t miss the game and see Looney with a +20, I watch the replay and he was a non-factor. Looney goes out there with Steph and the rest of the core, meanwhile Trayce has to run with Klay and Saric lineups, and after Kerr calling 3 Saric post-ups gives away the momentum, Trayce is the one who gets yanked, this kind of small shit is grinding my gears into a circle.

If we wanna be honest, a lot of our defensive struggles have the common Dario denominator, but a good amount of our turnovers have the Dario denominator. Whether it’s him passing up open shots, making the ill advised pass, over dribbling like he’s the main hub of the second unit. He might not have a high turnover rate or percentage on his own, but it feels like shit goes south when Dario has the ball for more than 5 seconds or 3 dribbles
