Holy Cannoli! We’re On The Strive For Five! The Dynasty Rolls On! Golden State Warriors 2022-23 Season Thread

"Flip the switch"

The first two games have started off with a Dubs turnover, like some type of symbolic ritual.

Donte, Jordan, and Kuminga were old hot dog water. Unusually poor performance from all 3.

We should've lost by 20.

Are any of us that watched this team all year really surprised?

We're trash on the road.

Our confidence came from years past, not the year we just had.

The switch is broken. This is the same team.

Now we got two must win games at home.

We'll find out if we're champs or chumps.

It was a great run but it's over. The kings look like the 2015 warriors when y'all started the run. .

Warriors management made a mistake. They shouldn't have paid Poole. His shot selection and defense is awful.

Monk is outplaying him for a fraction of the cost.

The money could have been used for Greene who is still integral to the team. His plsymaking and defense is still top notch.

Monk has a 2 year deal and the Warriors could have used the money saved to spend on another big man

Maybe the shytty regular season prepared me for this disappointment but I’m actually not giving a fukk about the outcome of this series. In past years I would be stressing right now. If we lose first round, Lacob gotta shake things up.

fukk the cap space, Lebrons teams never have cap space and they pull trades out of their asses every year.

yup

cats in here wanting sous-chef to play 40 plus minutes per game. Although he's an idiot/overrated coach Kerr has done that man career a service by managing those minutes

Y'all finna give me a damn heart attack, some of them turnovers last night, lord have mercy.
And the fouling, my goodness. This nikka Moody checks in the game and commits two fouls, with no dribbles in between in them, tf is that man

Still picking the Dubs in 6, figured they'd split, but ....just makes game 5, game 7 really. Assuming they handle business at home of course, which they will.

It's unfortunate to have to fight a war in the first round, but that was also always gonna be the fate of the dubs this run, a war every round, presumably.

It is what is tho . LETS GOOOOOOOOO!

All season media been focused on Draymond but Poole has not played to the level he did last year

You sure love to pop up when the situations be dire don't you

Refereeing was pretty good the first half. Felt like the classic "let them play" playoff energy.

Second half was the complete opposite. They were calling ticky tack, and even phantom shyt left and right.

It was a night and day difference.

Very inconsistent. Some might say suspicious.

 

[King Eros]

The Warriors have a toxic relationship with Draymond's emotional energy.

They need it. Until they don't.

There's this weird dynamic where the rest of the team is usually way too lackadaisical and laid back. To the point of underperforming. Klay and Steph in particular.

When that goes on for too long, Draymond notices, and literally starts some drama to get the team fired up.

Usually, its "just" a technical foul, and it actually works as designed. There's many examples of this, even recently.

But sometimes, as it is when you play with fire, it goes too far. Flagrant 2. Ejection. Suspension.

There needs to be other guys who bring the energy and passion to the team.

That's too much responsibility to place on one person. Especially when we actually need him on the court.

strong media attack against poole. I don’t think this dude is on Draymonds podcast network

Poole been sliding from criticism. Everyone focuses on Draymond.

His shot selection is stupid. Kerr really yanked his minutes last year in the playoffs.

They're gonna need Poole to step up in games 3 and 4.

I tried defending this bozo poole before but I can't anymore. Yesterday was awful. Dude is just careless out there and if his shot isn't falling he's pure negative.


Donte should've gotten more burn. Because of bozo they needed more offense out there, I get it but Steph was visibly tired in the fourth.


Still, Donte is a step slow on defense trying to guard fox or monk. Klay defense has been done since he came back. He can still hustle and poke the ball away but when it comes to first step keeping up or on screens it's tough to watch.

 

[Don Homer]

Yup

 

[CantStop]

Yup

maybe curry should take a page out of lebron's book and use his agency and pay reporters (mcmenamin and shams) to put the team on blast

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Yup

Basically… since lacob want to penny pinch the core 3 should just ask for a trade in the off season… Steoh built the franchise the least they could do is extend his championship window..
