I been calling for Buddy for 2 or 3 seasons now. When he was still a King. Finally got what we needed. No ego, great shooter and just happy to fkn be here
So far Buddy Hield definitely looks like he has much more of an impact on winning than Klay Thompson. If he can keep this up, might have a chance against Boston
@@memoirsofalegend5472 I think he’s speaking the truth when he said he’s never been this open before. GS is just used to having 2-3 great shooters and making openings for them that Buddy is just plug and play.
@@rosbin56 If you think a x4 NBA champion head coach, who also owns the best single season record in NBA history, a coach of the year award, and is named one of the top 15 coaches ever in NBA history, would be forced to hire an assistant without his consent, you're crazy. This caliber of head coach ALWAYS decides who their staff will be, even if the front office offers a list.
Some of the best parts about this season is not only watching Trayce and Dray work together. But watching how Dray is teaching Trayce how to do it. Almost like how Bogut was teaching Dray during Dray's first few seasons.
Even tho we blew that lead, really doesn’t mean our defense is sus. And it shows we can fight and win unlike last year we need that type of win for our mental. In the words of beastmode “ keep y’all mental right”😂
@@Leeksosa the defense dominated the first half… J stack is reminiscent of Mike Brown Kerr’s lineups in the 3rd and 4th was confusing to watch. Hopefully it doesn’t take him all season to figure it out when it’s literally right in front of his face 🤦♂️
If Curry had been in the game, it wouldn't have mattered. Eason was the best defender, and he would've been stuck on Curry. The rest of the team would've kept feasting.
I’m 71 years old. Been into Basketball since the late 1950’s. I discovered at a young age a little offense and a lot of defense will win championships. Just ask the Bill Russel Celtics. I thought they were supposed win cause they did what it took to win. Offense and defense from everybody and mostly defense. So when you hear offense sells tickets and defense wins championships, give that person a LIT cigar, cause they know the truth.👍🏽
71 is a blessing man and considering you are a hoops fan, that is lit. Do you have friends or you have taken a backseat on that ? you go to watch warriors games live ?
I think we are witnessing something special - so please tune in for what could be historic. The warriors a re playing with such amazing confidence. Its like a bully attitude but not bullying..
Green, thats why he is a hall of fame. Points do shine, but those who can dim them gives the difference between winning to just shamefully not enough. Thanks man, and thanks for dialing down the heat as well, please no fights 😂
Glad they got a lesson in cruising with a big lead this early in the season. Would be interesting if Steph comes back on the bench for a while to lessen the strain and also further strengthen the culture of sharing the minutes.
We will have a good idea of how good the Dubs can be after the last three games of this road trip. If we can go 3 and 2 and win one of the games between Boston, Cavs or OKC and be competitive in the others THEN I would say we are off to a good start. Love this year's team! Of course 4 and 1 would be better.
JK will continue to play this way as long as Kerr keeps him at the SF spot. Kerr, for some unexplained idiotic reason, keeps playing him at the PF slot. Take the comeback by the Rockets. TJD, in the 3rd QTR played 4 minutes. He was subbed out with a 28 point lead wth about 8 minutes left in the QTR. He placed Dray at the 5 and moved Kuminga from the 3 to the 4, then the Houston onslaught began. It's not Kumingas fault. He just doesn't have the skillset to play at PF. Kerr for some reason does not recognize this. It wasn't until overtime that Kerr put Kuminga back in the SF slot, at which time he took over in OT and won the game. Kerr needs to better control his rotations. His decisions are costing them games, going back to last season, and is also destroying Kumingas prospects for the future by putting him in slots to which he is not suited. I sincerely hope that J-Stack and Stotts can advise Kerr better than he has been since Mike Brown left the team.
This by far the best comment I've seen about Kerr rotation affecting players especially Kuminga. It's not hard to look at the statsheet and see where the problem is coming from. I hope Kuminga get traded to a team that will give him the opportunity to play to his strength. I love Dub but this is someone's career that is probably going to be messed by bad coaching
Kuminga needs to shoot better. It has been more than three years and he cannot first improve his FTs, which is a hallmark indicator of a quality shooter. It is extremely rare that someone can shoot 3s well but FTs poorly, and thus the contrapositive is true - a so-so or poor FT shooter can rarely shoot 3s well. I am still patient, but losing a little confidence that JK can ever improve his shooting. Without shooting, he cannot play 3 on a contender team.
@infinity1323 Great comment. I still think that Kerr is just prodding JK to be more than just a small forward because it is likely other teams will place JK at PF or even Center because of his size & athleticism. JK needs to develop other aspects of his game, versatility plus consistency in playing great basketball if he wants the kind of money his agent is demanding. Otherwise he might go to another team but will end up like most other Warriors who have been traded: out of the league early or becoming unknown & nondescript. GSW for me is a very good employer when it comes to player development. And the GSW players do well when they want to develop & demonstrate consistency in playing great basketball...
@@sofiacristinak.-cd1nk I agree with you in regards to developing Kumingas total game, but not to the detriment of the here and now. Kerr should be helping Kuminga develop his game during practice and not at the expense of winning games. Also, Kuminga is good enough at the SF spot to be a star in this league. The Warriors do not need him to play the PF slot because they have players better suited to that role, especially defensively. Look, when Kuminga plays the PF slot, Kerr want him to; 1. Guard the point of attack on the perimeter 2. Guard the opposing PF on the post (if needed) 3. Rebound the ball (both offence and defence) 4. Run the ball off those defensive rebounds like a bullet 5. Run like the wind on offence when he doesn't get the rebound. No person can do all those things nor should they have to. When Kuminga plays the SF slot, the rebounding and the post defence parts of his game can be a little relaxed because he has 2 other guys behind him (the PF and the C) to cover his back. He is much more effective, and more importantly, EFFICIENT, playing the SF slot. We saw that as clear as a blue sky during the Rockets game. In overtime, he kicked ass while playing the SF slot. That's just my humble opinion.
Its crazy to think with steph out with an injury this team is staying a float and the are thriving instead of just barely scraping by. This is the deepest warriors team ive ever seen, i honestly think we are a top 3 -5 team in the cause of this depth.
come to think of it, even the 22 championship warriors without curry were struggling to beat even some of the worst teams in the league back then I remember there was this one game where the dubs needed Wiggs and Poole to score a combined 60+ points in order to beat a Pistons team that is far from contending in the playoffs but this warriors team is a different breed
First ten games are always a bit iffy. Great win over the Rockets learning to play through mistakes. Thompson had extra bit towards Pods, who stood his ground. The future looks great.
Great video. DG is fantastic as long as he’s playing & not getting Ts or ejections. He’s playing great & seems to be in a good mental health place. JK has great potential & is 22, but he still has issues playing in the offense. He’s shines at 1:1 with an athletically inferior player. However, when the paint is crowded, he sees double teams, sees a tough def then he looks like a deer in headlights. The overtime win against the rockets was a prime set up for JKs skills & he did great & answered the call. He definitely contributes & is a good player with potential but not a great player max player yet. It would be foolish to trade him unless you receive a comparable player that contribute more immediately. However, it would be foolish to overpay him based on stats alone. He’s definitely improving. He needs to continue & improve his basketball IQ, handle pressure, double teams, & have creative solutions when teams focus on him or take away his bread & butter. I’ll make this comparison - over the course of 6 games DG still contributes more to winning than JK. DG is paid 25 mil per year; therefore should JK be paid more than 25 mil per year before he’s more valuable than DG toward winning games? I’m not a JK hater I just don’t think he’s Ant Man or Jalyn Brown, etc… he’s not a max player or a even DG yet, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be eventually - the verdict is still out. One great thing JK did single handedly - he put the Warriors in the bonus with 6-7 mins left in the in multiple quarters. Think if Stef was playing & the Warriors are in the bonus for 1/2 quarter multiple times. That is big! If you can make the free throws. The 18 missed free throws were a big reason the game went to OT. My goodness!! But that wasn’t JKs fault, and GSW hasn’t been getting in the bonus often over the past 2 years or so. If JK can keep doing this that will be a key component toward winning (assuming the team makes the FT).
So rad to see Stack doing well coaching at the NBA level. Draymond is good but I'd still take Ben Wallace or The Worm Rodman as the top defenders . More leaning towards Rodman .
Ey, if Jk starts playing Defense at Greens level, then we have ourselves a beast. Also, brandin those shots against the rockers and talks trash to them?? Hell yeah!! Lastly, Moody and Trayce definitely deserves to be given credit, the young dubs are cooking!!
They have the World Cup Morocco strategy. Stall you on defense, force a turnover, then get in transition, run around like crazy and chuck up 3s which will end up going in.
Stop it w/the Kuminga non sense. He is not worth anywhere near 35 million. Yes he can jump high and run fast but still doesn't have handles, a decent jumper or good decision making.
The warriors has depth...with steph, buddy, wiggs, dray, and davis starting..then loon, kuminga, slow-mo, moody, and podz coming off the bench..plus gp2, melton, and waters...that is quite a team...
Coach keep doing what you doing but don't reveal everything Jerry Stackhouse keep doing what you're doing but don't reveal all your defense RUclips coach and all the coaches but players keep playing how you playing
Kuminga isn’t max contract player yet. His decision making needs improvement. When he drives to the basket he needs to be able to stop fake step here and then finish emphatically and smoothly. Right now he’s just charging to the rim w pure force and athleticism most times looking for a foul call. when he gets downhill he’s not changing his shot. He’s too good athletically to not have better finish around the rim. He gets it done but he’s not polished yet. He has promise and if he reaches it we’d be so much more dangerous. Two, three snipers and a bullet train w a supporting cast of top defenders and bucket getters. He should be making more highlights
for JK he needs to work on his footwork, Dribble, decision making and try to have a consistent jump shot form the room of improvement for him is massive he just needs to work hard and work harder on the mental part of the game as well
No cap when I saw the off season moves I was a little upset we didn't bring in any names bigger than Buddy. But bro has been phenomenal and the depth of the bench was also not expected. TJD is the center we been missing since Bogut. I love Looney toon thats my dawg We from da Mill but he just not a rim protector. Also I saw on Gils arena he said he thinks kaminga getting limited minutes as a punishment for not signing. I think he right and I think it's going to back fire on us cause he keeps putting up 20+ off the bench a team gone wanna see what he can do as a starter.
And the scariest part about all of this is Stephen Curry isn’t even back yet 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 when Stephen Curry gets back, the league is in trouble. Let’s go Warriors
With Dubs lack of size, they need to play collective team defense. Whether they can sustain that level of defensive intensity for 82 games is another question.
w breakdown the master minds with coach terry stotts and stackhouse helps kerr to play jk and not sub him out in overtime and with the positional size and lengthy lineup will help the dubs to make solid playoff contender and the way jk been balling out warriors no choice to pay him the max next season. My thoughts on 5 and1 start is that we are a playoff time and the culture of belending the younger guys and vets it is changing a different culture in golden state warriors.
I still feel that GSW needs to pass, with flying colors, testing by encounter with the Mavericks, Cavaliers, Celtics, Lakers, Thunder, Grizzlies, teams with bigs & other players that shoot 3s accurately and defend well, and other teams, not only once but twice or multiple times.
i am worried about dray playing at the 5 for long period of time, dont know how long he can hold out. he talked about how difficult it was guarding Zion to his body.
Zion is a big dude so I know that was a tough night. He went back to back and handled it so that in and of itself is a big deal. I think he'll be fine as Kerr prefers to start Trayce for just that reason.
Game by game bro. He wont stay at the 5. TJD is getting better game by game and we got Slow Mo. He is smaller but can handle Dray duties else where and when he is out hopefully.
@@karlomagnoguadalupe4843Dray been holding his own against all of those dudes. Just not last season. Go watch the tape. Jokic has said Dray is the toughest guy to go against.
This is why ppl actually hate Draymond. He talks trash, gets in your face and physical. But you cant put it against him because he can lock up your favorite player whenever he wants to.
This is why the Warriors gave Draymond his bag and gave Klay his pink slip. D-E-F-E-N-C-E. This year's addition of the Warriors is bada$$ and I'm guessing it's because of Jerry Stackhouse being in the building. I REALLY like this year's team. They are fun to watch with that smothering defense they're playing. Can't (or won't) play defense? No problem. The Dubs will find someone who will and they got a nice jersey waiting for you down in Dallas. Just sayin'
I am really curious, at heights like 6'7" and 6'9", is a 2-inch height difference REALLy that important? I meant, Kuminga is only 2 inches shorter than Bron, and I would think Bron's game is the easiest for Kuminga to emulate. Neither is elite in shooting or ball handling, yet both are freaks of athletes. What is it that LeBron can do but Kuminga cannot do? Are 2 inches and 25 lbs that much a difference when you are already that tall and that heavy?
It absolutely makes a huge difference. You also have to take Wingspan into account. That isn't the only difference however as LeBron has very good court vision. JK could possibly develop a bit more in that area but getting to Bron's level isn't something he'd be able to do at this point.
defense, defense, defense. sorely lacking in the clipper loss, but present in all the wins. that's what it will take to win this year--defense! love the hedging of screens and the blitzing. and when the guys move on offense, the wide open shots just come naturally. a great combination. i could see steph averaging 18 points and 10 assists and this being a standout team!! but if he scores more, i'm all for that, too. defense is the key. and a confidant and free kuminga.
Warriors can't defend that harden-zubac pick-and-roll in that game. it also stinks that they were leaving shooters like Norman Powell and DJJ wide open for 3s and backdoor cuts due to zubac's gravity.
If you are a true competitor you don’t need to buy in to a system. You will automatically buy in and play to the best of your ability. Kuminga has some mental issues going on, similar to Wiggins throughout his career.
Are you kidding me?!! JK may be good now and can improve immensely... But over 35 m per year is ridiculous. Only teams who dont have stars can offer that to their young stars, because they have no options. 😅
So tired of the Kuminga hype... bro has one good game in the season... one... i can't believe this dude needs to "buy in" on the offense... bro... he's on the warriors, what do you mean buy in? No other player has been cuddled this hard... bro they let KLAY go because he had an average season, wasnt even that bad of a season, this dude Kuminga needs to "buy in"? holy shit bro... trade this liabilty asap... This dude is asking for 30mil without really having done much to deserve it, thats what hype does... Even the Warriors themselves have been hyping this guy and now they have a problem on their hands, an overgrown ego that feeds on "potential", at this point Buddy Hield is WAY more valuable than Kuminga... shit, LINDY WATERS 3 has done more for this team this season than Kuminga
Lolllllll. Jk is not playing like a 35m a year. That number is designated for all stars….all nba teams….. bro won’t sniff any of those. Trading him is the best option
The Warriors' defense looks unstoppable right now! But do you think their defensive success is more about their strategy or the individual talents of players like Draymond and Kaminga? Could this defensive dominance actually carry them to another championship?
Winning a close game like that especially without Steph is a HUGE deal. During film session, they'll have a few things to look at. I'm sure it'll happen again but they'll have to be vigilant to reduce the occurrences.
So what? That’s the NBA for you lol no team is ever really “out of the game” in a shooter’s league like this! I fully expected a comeback. Last season we would’ve dropped that game. This season we won it.
@swishculture TEAM PLAY, and if they win 3 of 4 next road games I'm convinced that they*re a true title contender. Wizards, Celtics Cavs and last but not least the Thunder. 3/4 hottest team in the NBA right now. The Warriors are the fourth team in this conversation without ranking them.
Why didn't you mention how well Wiggins has been playing? On both ends of the floor. Steve Kerr was right he is poised to have a career season. Also, I find it disrespectful all of you people online refuse to give Steve Kerr credit but love giving him all the blame.. These guys are playing like they've been playing together for years and his coaching is a big reason for that. Not too mention the way he is managing the rotations which is NOT as easy as you guys online like to think it is.
If anyone here are blasting the warriors of blowing up the 30+ point lead surely they're new to the game....this game is a game of momentum when it shift to another team trust me no matter how much you put a great defensive it's not gonna stop the other teams determination to win thats exactly what happened to this warriors game...however I just dont like the Warriors flexing when the game hasn't finish..Podz almost got humiliated if it wasn't for JK clutch in the OT
Golden state is actually a young team, because once you remove Draymond Green and Stephen Curry from the lineup, nobody on the roster is old. Charles with everything you said about Draymond Green, I think you drew up your X's and O's all wrong on the defense he is playing. You highlighted way to much on Draymond without giving the REAL reason why he's looking so good this season. This version of Draymond is the exact same version we were getting when they had Andrew Bogut, Javelle MaGee and David West, he wasn't playing center. Instead, you should have educated your audience and created highlight reels on Trayce Davis, because he's the real reason Draymond is looking like the old Draymond. And the thing that goes missing in all of this, is the fact that Trayce is extremely young, he's quiet, he plays like a seasoned veteran, and he makes very few mistakes out on the floor, not to mention he plays within himself and doesn't try to do to much. His long arms on defense is what anchors the entire Warriors lineup. You see, although he's not playing 35 minutes per game, neither did Bogut and you see the impact he had on the entire team. When Bogut went out of the lineup against Cleveland in the championship, that snatched the championship right out of there hands, NOT Draymond's suspension. Because you have to remember, Bogut got hurt in game 6. So lets give credit where it's due, all the accolades belong to Trayce Davis and not Draymond, sorry Charles.
They don't need that fvckin heavy paid guy....even their team stacked with big center and supported team mates they don't get a ring,,, only won once prior to Gianis...LOL 😂😂😂 Warriors need a solid rim protector and that's it...need TJD to level up his body and mental alertness other than that Warriors is already in their way 💪💪
Well said Swish!!💯

Tari was a beast that game for sure.
Fluke game
yeaaa, at the 2nd half i think warriors plays to fast imo and made a lot to.. meanwhile houston offensive just can't miss..
His hatred towards the warriors makes him push through his limits 😂

Jackson-Davis has actually surprised me. thet guy is Chris Bosh reincarnated. So smart.
bruh Chris Bosh ain't dead yet, why you killing him off like that
Warriors are a legit contender for me, they are smart and when you have experienced chef curyy i go with it
They need one more defensive star that can also drop points I think…maybe get rid of melton and another role player
Kuminga,Wiggins,Moody,Podz,Waters,Payton Jr and MELTON all play above average defense. Maybe another scorer.
Draymond has a 7'3 wingspan at 6'6. That's a hugh wingspan for his height and that's one of the reasons why he is so good at defending at his height.
Love Stacks implementing the defense an Terry has a great offensive mindset that fits perfectly with the ball movement and running
Stackhouse really helps change a culture. Impeccable Pedigree
got PTSD in the win last night, we would have lost that game the last two years.
😂😂😂😂
I think we are witnessing something special - so please tune in for what could be historic. The warriors a re playing with such amazing confidence. Its like a bully attitude but not bullying..

First ten games are always a bit iffy. Great win over the Rockets learning to play through mistakes. Thompson had extra bit towards Pods, who stood his ground. The future looks great.
I like the Rockets young team.
Great video. DG is fantastic as long as he’s playing & not getting Ts or ejections. He’s playing great & seems to be in a good mental health place.
JK has great potential & is 22, but he still has issues playing in the offense. He’s shines at 1:1 with an athletically inferior player. However, when the paint is crowded, he sees double teams, sees a tough def then he looks like a deer in headlights. The overtime win against the rockets was a prime set up for JKs skills & he did great & answered the call. He definitely contributes & is a good player with potential but not a great player max player yet. It would be foolish to trade him unless you receive a comparable player that contribute more immediately. However, it would be foolish to overpay him based on stats alone. He’s definitely improving. He needs to continue & improve his basketball IQ, handle pressure, double teams, & have creative solutions when teams focus on him or take away his bread & butter.
I’ll make this comparison - over the course of 6 games DG still contributes more to winning than JK. DG is paid 25 mil per year; therefore should JK be paid more than 25 mil per year before he’s more valuable than DG toward winning games?
I’m not a JK hater I just don’t think he’s Ant Man or Jalyn Brown, etc… he’s not a max player or a even DG yet, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be eventually - the verdict is still out.
One great thing JK did single handedly - he put the Warriors in the bonus with 6-7 mins left in the in multiple quarters. Think if Stef was playing & the Warriors are in the bonus for 1/2 quarter multiple times. That is big! If you can make the free throws. The 18 missed free throws were a big reason the game went to OT. My goodness!! But that wasn’t JKs fault, and GSW hasn’t been getting in the bonus often over the past 2 years or so. If JK can keep doing this that will be a key component toward winning (assuming the team makes the FT).
So rad to see Stack doing well coaching at the NBA level. Draymond is good but I'd still take Ben Wallace or The Worm Rodman as the top defenders . More leaning towards Rodman .
Ey, if Jk starts playing Defense at Greens level, then we have ourselves a beast. Also, brandin those shots against the rockers and talks trash to them?? Hell yeah!! Lastly, Moody and Trayce definitely deserves to be given credit, the young dubs are cooking!!
They have the World Cup Morocco strategy. Stall you on defense, force a turnover, then get in transition, run around like crazy and chuck up 3s which will end up going in.
Stop it w/the Kuminga non sense. He is not worth anywhere near 35 million. Yes he can jump high and run fast but still doesn't have handles, a decent jumper or good decision making.
Kuminga and Wiggins plus picks for Greek freak
The warriors has depth...with steph, buddy, wiggs, dray, and davis starting..then loon, kuminga, slow-mo, moody, and podz coming off the bench..plus gp2, melton, and waters...that is quite a team...
Coach keep doing what you doing but don't reveal everything Jerry Stackhouse keep doing what you're doing but don't reveal all your defense RUclips coach and all the coaches but players keep playing how you playing
Kuminga isn’t max contract player yet. His decision making needs improvement. When he drives to the basket he needs to be able to stop fake step here and then finish emphatically and smoothly. Right now he’s just charging to the rim w pure force and athleticism most times looking for a foul call. when he gets downhill he’s not changing his shot. He’s too good athletically to not have better finish around the rim. He gets it done but he’s not polished yet. He has promise and if he reaches it we’d be so much more dangerous. Two, three snipers and a bullet train w a supporting cast of top defenders and bucket getters. He should be making more highlights
Dont let us win another championship
No no, please DO let us!! 😅😂🙏🙏
for JK he needs to work on his footwork, Dribble, decision making and try to have a consistent jump shot form the room of improvement for him is massive he just needs to work hard and work harder on the mental part of the game as well
I've been enjoying seeing Looney pull out some of his highschool moves.
If the dubs made 1 freethrow more . No OT. Not even close if they made half of their missed free throws.
I already know the hoop reports vids this season are gonna be nasty 😂
No cap when I saw the off season moves I was a little upset we didn't bring in any names bigger than Buddy. But bro has been phenomenal and the depth of the bench was also not expected. TJD is the center we been missing since Bogut. I love Looney toon thats my dawg We from da Mill but he just not a rim protector. Also I saw on Gils arena he said he thinks kaminga getting limited minutes as a punishment for not signing. I think he right and I think it's going to back fire on us cause he keeps putting up 20+ off the bench a team gone wanna see what he can do as a starter.
The coaches defense for the players and what he is doing is awesome but don't show everything coach keep hidden
Steph bein guarded and difficulty to shoot, no problemo, he’s good at passing, and he got reliable people to assist 😂❤
And the scariest part about all of this is Stephen Curry isn’t even back yet 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 when Stephen Curry gets back, the league is in trouble. Let’s go Warriors
With Dubs lack of size, they need to play collective team defense. Whether they can sustain that level of defensive intensity for 82 games is another question.
w breakdown the master minds with coach terry stotts and stackhouse helps kerr to play jk and not sub him out in overtime and with the positional size and lengthy lineup will help the dubs to make solid playoff contender and the way jk been balling out warriors no choice to pay him the max next season. My thoughts on 5 and1 start is that we are a playoff time and the culture of belending the younger guys and vets it is changing a different culture in golden state warriors.
Thats my Draymund the Donkey Green...
I still feel that GSW needs to pass, with flying colors, testing by encounter with the Mavericks, Cavaliers, Celtics, Lakers, Thunder, Grizzlies, teams with bigs & other players that shoot 3s accurately and defend well, and other teams, not only once but twice or multiple times.
Agree
i am worried about dray playing at the 5 for long period of time, dont know how long he can hold out. he talked about how difficult it was guarding Zion to his body.
Zion is a big dude so I know that was a tough night. He went back to back and handled it so that in and of itself is a big deal. I think he'll be fine as Kerr prefers to start Trayce for just that reason.
Gonna be harder vs big and long dudes like Jokic, Zubac, AD etc 🤷 it's not sustainable
Game by game bro. He wont stay at the 5. TJD is getting better game by game and we got Slow Mo. He is smaller but can handle Dray duties else where and when he is out hopefully.
Pause 😂😂😂😂@@karlomagnoguadalupe4843
@@karlomagnoguadalupe4843Dray been holding his own against all of those dudes. Just not last season. Go watch the tape. Jokic has said Dray is the toughest guy to go against.
Warriors have to make an entire cycle through the NBA before I'm sold on their defensive prowess. Their deficiencies are glaring.
This is why ppl actually hate Draymond. He talks trash, gets in your face and physical. But you cant put it against him because he can lock up your favorite player whenever he wants to.
This is why the Warriors gave Draymond his bag and gave Klay his pink slip. D-E-F-E-N-C-E. This year's addition of the Warriors is bada$$ and I'm guessing it's because of Jerry Stackhouse being in the building. I REALLY like this year's team. They are fun to watch with that smothering defense they're playing. Can't (or won't) play defense? No problem. The Dubs will find someone who will and they got a nice jersey waiting for you down in Dallas. Just sayin'
I’m excited to see this team buy into playing this level of defense all season will put them in top 5 if they can keep it up
I think JK coming off of the bench spells disaster for the league. He is young and hungry for his second title.
I am really curious, at heights like 6'7" and 6'9", is a 2-inch height difference REALLy that important? I meant, Kuminga is only 2 inches shorter than Bron, and I would think Bron's game is the easiest for Kuminga to emulate. Neither is elite in shooting or ball handling, yet both are freaks of athletes. What is it that LeBron can do but Kuminga cannot do? Are 2 inches and 25 lbs that much a difference when you are already that tall and that heavy?
It absolutely makes a huge difference. You also have to take Wingspan into account. That isn't the only difference however as LeBron has very good court vision. JK could possibly develop a bit more in that area but getting to Bron's level isn't something he'd be able to do at this point.
defense, defense, defense. sorely lacking in the clipper loss, but present in all the wins. that's what it will take to win this year--defense! love the hedging of screens and the blitzing. and when the guys move on offense, the wide open shots just come naturally. a great combination. i could see steph averaging 18 points and 10 assists and this being a standout team!! but if he scores more, i'm all for that, too. defense is the key. and a confidant and free kuminga.
Warriors can't defend that harden-zubac pick-and-roll in that game.
it also stinks that they were leaving shooters like Norman Powell and DJJ wide open for 3s and backdoor cuts due to zubac's gravity.
It will be interesting to see the dubs going against the Celtics and Cavs next week.
lol, did anyone else just get a weird ad shaming you into voting?!?! 😂😂
thay have a shot at the title
If you are a true competitor you don’t need to buy in to a system. You will automatically buy in and play to the best of your ability. Kuminga has some mental issues going on, similar to Wiggins throughout his career.
Are you kidding me?!! JK may be good now and can improve immensely... But over 35 m per year is ridiculous. Only teams who dont have stars can offer that to their young stars, because they have no options. 😅
This different than any Ws team I've seen since the early Steph, Kt, and Dray days. I*t's great basketball.
Thats wy i tihink thay are a top 4 team in the league
They are going to ruin the NBA again , Media keeps crying for a trade no they didn't and beat a higher rated Celtic team with less talent
So tired of the Kuminga hype... bro has one good game in the season... one... i can't believe this dude needs to "buy in" on the offense... bro... he's on the warriors, what do you mean buy in? No other player has been cuddled this hard... bro they let KLAY go because he had an average season, wasnt even that bad of a season, this dude Kuminga needs to "buy in"? holy shit bro... trade this liabilty asap... This dude is asking for 30mil without really having done much to deserve it, thats what hype does... Even the Warriors themselves have been hyping this guy and now they have a problem on their hands, an overgrown ego that feeds on "potential", at this point Buddy Hield is WAY more valuable than Kuminga... shit, LINDY WATERS 3 has done more for this team this season than Kuminga
Our defense is very strong this year. We just need to get past Boston and OKC
Too early to tell, but I've been liking their runs.
nahhh.. warriors defense was good, I think rockets just brings an amazing response during the game.. their shooters are on fire after the half time..
Klay not being on the team is a win 😂.
Lolllllll. Jk is not playing like a 35m a year. That number is designated for all stars….all nba teams….. bro won’t sniff any of those. Trading him is the best option
The Warriors' defense looks unstoppable right now! But do you think their defensive success is more about their strategy or the individual talents of players like Draymond and Kaminga? Could this defensive dominance actually carry them to another championship?
UNC will hire Stack in the next 5 years if they do not have success under the current coach.
In my opinion if Green is 3 to 4 inches taller, he will be slower and therefore will not be a better defender.
Hield should practice how to assist to be unstoppable
If would have been "terrifying" if they did not squander their 28 or 30+ lead, ALMOST LOST THE GAME, and needed an OT to win.
Winning a close game like that especially without Steph is a HUGE deal. During film session, they'll have a few things to look at. I'm sure it'll happen again but they'll have to be vigilant to reduce the occurrences.
So what? That’s the NBA for you lol no team is ever really “out of the game” in a shooter’s league like this!
I fully expected a comeback. Last season we would’ve dropped that game. This season we won it.
@therealejcarter so what?
steph curry aint injured, he's working on new moves for his bag for the season.
I'm calling it . 2025 finals Celtics vs warriors 2.0
I’ve been saying all along, give Kuminga minutes and he will be a star!
So, Ingram and Williamson are now "two of the league's best players"? Since when?
I hope they go ultra instict come towards the end of the season
@swishculture TEAM PLAY, and if they win 3 of 4 next road games I'm convinced that they*re a true title contender. Wizards, Celtics Cavs and last but not least the Thunder. 3/4 hottest team in the NBA right now. The Warriors are the fourth team in this conversation without ranking them.
No lies detected here. I'm hoping the team's healthy when we face the Celts/Thunder.
Dubs and Cavs the hottest 2 teams tight now. Both top 5 in d and o
@ Thx for this statistic, my statement was based on the eye test.😉
Why didn't you mention how well Wiggins has been playing? On both ends of the floor. Steve Kerr was right he is poised to have a career season. Also, I find it disrespectful all of you people online refuse to give Steve Kerr credit but love giving him all the blame.. These guys are playing like they've been playing together for years and his coaching is a big reason for that. Not too mention the way he is managing the rotations which is NOT as easy as you guys online like to think it is.
Nah 4th quarter has them head over heels... Gsw seeking a hero baller...
They shut down jgreen...
Yes they did.
If they were able to shutdown Zion, JGreen then possibly they can also do it with JPoole, JTatum, Mitchell & SGA this coming road games..hopefully.
and we beat two really good teams that are good defensive teams pelicans and the rocks.!
If anyone here are blasting the warriors of blowing up the 30+ point lead surely they're new to the game....this game is a game of momentum when it shift to another team trust me no matter how much you put a great defensive it's not gonna stop the other teams determination to win thats exactly what happened to this warriors game...however I just dont like the Warriors flexing when the game hasn't finish..Podz almost got humiliated if it wasn't for JK clutch in the OT

This side of a West Bank Settlement?
Yes. This side of a West Bank Settlement.
Golden state is actually a young team, because once you remove Draymond Green and Stephen Curry from the lineup, nobody on the roster is old. Charles with everything you said about Draymond Green, I think you drew up your X's and O's all wrong on the defense he is playing. You highlighted way to much on Draymond without giving the REAL reason why he's looking so good this season. This version of Draymond is the exact same version we were getting when they had Andrew Bogut, Javelle MaGee and David West, he wasn't playing center. Instead, you should have educated your audience and created highlight reels on Trayce Davis, because he's the real reason Draymond is looking like the old Draymond. And the thing that goes missing in all of this, is the fact that Trayce is extremely young, he's quiet, he plays like a seasoned veteran, and he makes very few mistakes out on the floor, not to mention he plays within himself and doesn't try to do to much. His long arms on defense is what anchors the entire Warriors lineup. You see, although he's not playing 35 minutes per game, neither did Bogut and you see the impact he had on the entire team. When Bogut went out of the lineup against Cleveland in the championship, that snatched the championship right out of there hands, NOT Draymond's suspension. Because you have to remember, Bogut got hurt in game 6. So lets give credit where it's due, all the accolades belong to Trayce Davis and not Draymond, sorry Charles.
But I’m saying that we are going to win another chip! 🎉
Jimmy Butler trade is a DISASTER (Wait for Giannis)
To get giannis you have to get rid of damn near the whole team. Are you drunk or just casual??? Maybe both
@@901gaminganime5 They will not chase Giannis but Giannis frustration to his team will make his move from East to West.. Many will cry again..
They don't need that fvckin heavy paid guy....even their team stacked with big center and supported team mates they don't get a ring,,, only won once prior to Gianis...LOL 😂😂😂
Warriors need a solid rim protector and that's it...need TJD to level up his body and mental alertness other than that Warriors is already in their way 💪💪
@@AlvinCabigting-h7dyou didn’t read what he said. You will still have to trade away half of the team to get Giannis
@@Newportnews98 There's No Trade.. It's like KD Part 2

what is a ranking system
In this specific instance, the players are all ranked based on how well they play defensively.
I am warriors fan .. what we have seen is good but too early to draw the video conclusions
Swish please don't make any political references 😂
hmm... naaah
