I'm disappointed in Kerr overall. Come on can someone tell me Spurs lineup is better than the Warriors even without Steph? And Spurs are in the playoffs in standings now. I don't even know the players on the Spurs. I'm starting to think Kerr is not that good of a coach. I'm looking at Wiseman and poor kid looks lost out there, he is being used like Javale McGee. I mean seriously re watch any clips with Wiseman in there, he moves and acts like freaking McGee! If Wiseman is on the Hawks, Spurs or any other team he'll probably balling right now and unanimous rookie of the year candidate. Or the worst part Wiseman is McGee 2.0, I'm hoping I'm wrong and he's not a bust.
Why does it have to be all or nothing in regards to Wiseman? Why can’t he be a good, possibly great, future player that is still the wrong choice by the FO?
Why does Wiseman need to start to develop when he can still play with the starters off the bench? And lineups with Looney keep the other team from getting in a rhythm early, so Wiseman’s D might actually be more effective off the bench. Looney to Wiseman lineups seem so make both sets of lineups more effective defensively.
In what world does Jordaning or Kwamiing a fresh rookie improve their development? Why place added stress to not only start Wiseman but feed him too?
Poole’s work is clearly paying off, but he still needs to be supported by a strong defensive unit to fully utilize his value. He’s not an unqualified success story yet, but he’s shown there’s a legitimate chance that’s the path he’s on.
Why make everything so black and white? Losing the art of conversation hasn’t helped our political decisions and it’s not likely to do anything for our enjoyment of sports either.
There have been a few games that have been super fun to watch. Seeing guys progress within the team concept and compete, is always enjoyable, win or lose. Seeing chaos on the court with guys defaulting to individual play and no communication on D is not enjoyable at this point of the season. Poole and Mannion can look like exciting prospects with Looney on the court.
Wiseman and the team can look great playing the Javale dunkers role when everyone else on D is connected. But someone has to talk to Draymond about stopping his attempts to force feed Wiseman.
Trying to have all of them together or force feeding Wiseman doesn’t give hope for the future because no offense built around force feeding Wiseman will ever be as good as what the Warriors had with Bogut so it’s not really training him to maximize Playing with Curry and Klay. If anything it’s training him to play in the second unit (which you can do by playing him with DLee, Baze, Oub/Wig, and JTA anyway, so why start him.)
I think it is right and just to try to turn the conversation towards what really will lead to progress, and what seems to be counterproductive, so we can all enjoy a better future.
Because strange as it is, the online conversation does seem to impact the vibe of sports organizations for real these days (KD).
I wonder if they will compile performance data following vaccination shots. They say the second shot is the one that hits hardest, but the margins of professional sports are relatively slim. Deciding to blame the vaccine. Good night.
Is it just me, or did Loon lose a step since the slew of last year's injuries? The switch-ability that earned him that contract with GS seems to have fell off a little. Maybe it's because I'm a sardonic pessimist, but I can't help but notice these things.

All that talk about Atlanta considering trading Collins. Man, he sure beasted against us tonight.

Post-game thread at https://www.letsgowarriors.com/p/wiggins-29-points-arent-enough-warriors
lol, won the second half on that three.
Most positive takeaway from tonight may be Wiseman confidently stroking all four FTs to creep up to 63% from the stripe on the season.
The +/- and minutes for Looney and JTA are tough.
< 20 pts
Well, at least we won the 3rd quarter and tied the 4th quarter.
Collins and Capela have 56/27/2/3/3 on 22/29. Well damn. The offense looks not bad though.
In other news, the Quesalupa commercial got me really hungry.
Put J Dub in you cowards.
Loon looks REALLY tired out there in 20 minutes of playtime.
Oh the pain of potentially squandering a year of Steph's prime.
Oubre is out of it tonight
