Steph and Jimmy and MAYBE Draymond are the only untouchables

They have salary filler between Kuminga, moody, looney and buddy, and GP2

They own all their picks

There are 29 other teams in the league, 24 if you exclude division rivals. fukking get a deal done

I actually like Buddy for yall.

Even when Kuminga is getting buckets I can kind of see the how he can sandbag the offense, and his handle is also on the edge of losing the ball. If he can’t get that first step on his defender with one dribble he’s forced to pass. And I don’t mean it as an insult, because he’s worked hard as fukk to get where he’s at, but he doesn’t make decisions quick enough for the golden state offense. Even pods can work through all the options as soon as his finger tips touch the ball, Kuminga just doesn’t doesnt really see the situation unfold around him. His defense isn’t really the best either, considering his size. I can definitely see why Kerr doesn’t play him. Hopefully they can fleece another team………. Just not the Hawks please.

After experiencing systemic racism, couragous Draymond Green registers patented triple single. Despite Dray's heroism, GS falls as Wolves steal game 3.

The headlines write themselves, Trav.


In fact they do :sas2: .......


Tonight's headline:

Julius took Draymond’s chain tonight…


Love to see it. Stay locked in 30

i dont really care about who scored what. They can't generate league-average offense without Steph.

MIN is prolly the worst team in the playoffs still and the warriors cant beat them. I had no hope for them without curry so it's no difference to me. If they lose on monday, keep steph out.

MINNY WOULD WALK
RIGHT THROUGH DENVER.

100% pretty much where i'm at with him. He's had game like this in the past, and i've been unmoved. GSW has been a below average offensive team when he goes off. Kuminga ball isn't gonna get us any playoff wins.

idk. Their last series went 7, and it took a giant choke job by DEN to lose that game. I also lowkey think OKC will beat denver. but i dont see minnesota getting to the finals regardless.

If they do, it's a free ring for the East :manny:

Explain to me why Jonathan Kuminga is the main option in the last 6 minutes of the 4th quarter.

In a motherfukking must win playoff game.

Also explain the awful execution and decision making of one...Jimmy Butler.

shyt is awful.
That was a guaranteed win according to @MicIsGod (until it wasn't).

In all seriousness, they were doomed from the start trying to generate offense with those two being at the center of their actions. That's not to say they had any better option, but you're not going to have a free-flowing, consistent offense with both of them.
Steve Kerr doesn’t know anything other than Steph ball. If you can’t find a way to get Kuminga minutes that is a coaching error.
Is this also you -
Wiseman and Kuminga


Steph ask out dawg…
Pass the fukking ball Kuminga
Kuminga can not pass the ball dawg
Stop giving the ball to Kuminga unless he has a dunk
I can remember you not wanting Wiggins to share the floor with him either.

Jonathan I think it's a good player. Needs to go somewhere else to get away from steve kerr cannot develop talent.

To be fair I don’t think the offense allows him to develop him like that. That shyt looks grueling like when we had to do constant stress shoots in the Army. You run, sprint, do random exercises, then sprint to your spot at the range, then try to precisely shoot at the targets. All that while your heart rate and breathing won’t allow your body to stay still, your muscles are burned out. Steve can teach him skills, or teach him the offense. He can’t really teach his brain how to operate more efficiently under extreme stress.

They’re whole shyt depends on their constant movement and sprinting around so the defender is always out of position, or off balance, no matter who catches the next pass. You either fit into that shyt or you don’t.

Everybody has to be able to make good decisions when their heart rate is pounding, and they’re exhausted as fukk late in the game. It’s why I don’t ever shyt on the thibs coached Knicks starting 5. Both teams are under a lot more physical and mental stress at any point in the game. I also applaud dray for his ability to see the other team’s offense before it happens (unless he’s already pissy about a call).
