Champions league
Otto - 15 minutes
Iggy - 13 minutes
Kuminga - 11 minutes.

Hardly criminal is it? Besides Otto, by default, is going to get more minutes than Kuminga because they need his shooting, and Iggy is there primarily for his experience. Relying on a rookie to play minutes when they're supposed to be competing for a 'ship is no recipe for success.

iggy is washed can't shoot
otto hasn't been an above average nba player in years

and please if you got skill you got skill

Kerr only said that to take the target off his guys - it's what he does. He's not going to come out and say Otto should be able to throw a basic lob and Wiggins should position himself better. There's nothing wrong with the playcall, especially when Jokic wasn't on the floor. You find the mismatch and the easy bucket. I mean, the result of the game wasn't because of that ONE possession.

Steph missed FOUR free-throws which he's never done in his playoff career. They lost because of that.
Poole going 3-10 from the field. They lost because of that.
Draymond fouling out and not having another elite defensive presence on the floor during pivotal possessions. They lost because of that.
Everyone outside of Klay shooting poorly from behind the arc. They lost because of that.
Poor defensive rotations from all involved. They lost because of that.
Jokic destroying whoever was put on him. They lost because of that.
Allowing Morris to kill them from behind the arc. They lost because of that.
Getting minimal production from the bench. They lost because of that.
Throwing dumbass rudimentary passes. They lost because of that.

:manny:

We wouldn't even be going at each other's neck if it wasn't for the MVP race lol...shyts so lame
Breh that shyt been one-sided.

I actually like Embiid. One of the most versatile big men in the game. Won’t be mad whatsoever if he’s the MVP because he’s deserving. Son is a monster.

They just have had a lot to say. I’m just wondering what they talking ‘bout tonight.

-takes looney out early and never puts him back in. Instead he keeps 38 year old Andre Iguodala out there to guard Boogie/Jokic for the lion's share of the game, leading to multiple fouls and and-1's
This is hilarious considering @Regular_P and a whole bunch of other posters said that Looney shouldn't even be playing in this series. It was one of the bigger talking points over the first three games. Now, Kerr's at fault for not playing him? When Looney was guarding Jokic during the first three games, it resulted in a foul or an easy bucket. He was literally having his way with him on every other possession. The Warriors simply don't have anyone that can stop Jokic from doing his thing - he'll find ways to get a mismatch or position himself to where he'll get buckets. He's the MVP for a reason. Nobody is stopping him 1v1 on a regular basis. He's too big and he has too many moves.

Damning Kerr for playing Looney and then damming Kerr for not playing Looney shows how y'all will find anything to twist into blaming him.
