Hello everybody! Nowadays I usually skip videos for back-to-back games as part of my load management, but I really wanted to talk about these plays, so voila, new video.
Analysis of the 2024.01.24.ATL-GSW Atlanta Hawks vs Golden State Warriors game and 2024.01.25.SAC-GSW Sacramento Kings vs Golden State Warriors games.
Jonathan Kuminga is slowly becoming a star. Once GSW figures out how to maximize Steph and JK together, good things will follow.

The thought bubble in Kuminga's head seems often in the past to have been, "Man, get the fuck outta here with your confusing split cut bullshit. Gimme the ball and get outta the way if you want some points."
I think that's been a justified frustration of Kerr's. Yet lately even as Kuminga seems to be learning and committing to the offense more, I also think that the two parties are moving toward compromise.
Kerr is also saying: "Some of the time we want you to run actions, but some of the time we will feed you in the post and let you commit mayhem." This mutuality is an encouraging development.
