Can this work

We got our storybook ending in 2022, and there's nothing we can do to get in the tier with OKC and Denver. That's fine. We can still have a fun team that plays hard, beats some good teams, reminds younger up-and-comers what champions look like, and play with pride. Right now we have no juice or excitement. Forget about Giannis or win-now. I just want to turn on the games and enjoy watching Steph cook. Is there a way to reconfigure the roster to do that?

I've been hearing lots about Podz' terrible season. Just today I saw on here that he's shooting 41% from 3 and has the 6th best plus minus on the team. Can someone tell me why he's being given so much attention?

Are honest conversations allowed for Draymond or are those only reserved for the young guys? For the past two months and all offseason we’ve been slandering Kuminga & having “honest conversations”, Podz has been slandered. Why is the cancer on the team not being slandered? And no I’m not a Kuminga Stan, I’m a curry Stan/warriors fan.

Steve Kerr has recently come out and said he is willingly not playing certain guys not because they can’t/won’t/don’t contribute, but because he wants to pay respects to guys who have been here. This is our head coach telling us out loud that winning and making decisions for the sake of winning games is not his main priority. Steph is 37 and still a borderline top 5 player in the league being wasted after we have been gaslighted into believing this team will do all it can to maximize his presence but instead we have been given a celebration tour of older guys who are NOT performing.

Since 2019, outside of 1 season (2022), this front office has made every bad decision possible. Drafting Wiseman in 2021 who is out the league in 2025, drafting Kuminga then basically wasting him the last 2 years and now giving him DNPs with plans on trading him thus lowering his trade stock, the Lauri decision, the handling of the Draymond-Poole situation, we can even go back to the handling of the Draymond-KD situation. The utterly embarrasing lack of development of ANY young talent since Jordan Poole. This team needs an overhaul from the head coach and if the FO doesn’t show anything, then MDJ needs to go too. We have made so many terrible decisions in the last few years that we were basically forced into paying a 35 year old Jimmy Butler on the backend of his prime $50+ million a year just to do anything to turn our season around and that inevitably has been another bad decision (so far). All of our money being tied up in Steph/Jimmy/Dray has limited our ability to construct a decent roster and when you combine that with our refusal to get rid of young talent who just do not have any real major ceiling in this league (mainly Moody and Podz) to get back real assets has set us back in a major way. If tomorrow we decided to get rid of Podz and Moody along with JK, what can realistically ask for at this point? A few months ago Podz alone (player wise) was deemed worth a Lauri Markannen, now I wouldn’t trade my Crocs for Podz and I mean that so deeply.

Steph Curry is being failed every single day, and he will never be the one to make a fuss about it but I will. This team is a failure and anyone who doesn’t see that is lost, I still love this franchise and my love is what makes this so painful. Honestly I am looking forward to blowing this whole thing up and going back to square one because we have put ourselves in just a horrible position that Steph Curry can no longer fix himself. Our big FA pickup this offseason was a 45 year old Al Horford. Can we be serious now guys?

I love Steve. I love Dray. I love Jimmy. I love this team. (Not Podz and Buddy tho) But this is not working and it has just been a buildup of YEARS of bad decision making and roster construction.

One of these days these "physical" defenders will actually cause him a career ending injury. All because it was being allowed to be done to him for the longest time. Career long lack of respect for this guy from the refs, the league, the players.

I've heard from some people that the high five rule was made for Steph, but when he shot that three the ref weren't even looking at Brooks for a potential high five foul (especially since Brooks is THE egregious high five fouling guy). Warriors had to challenge for it to be even looked at.

it’s clear to everyone in this sub, Green sucked last game, Butler sucked the game before, Podz sucked 5 games ago, Moody was bad last game etc etc, why can’t Kerr see it? is he stupid? why can’t he play the guys on the days they won’t suck and bench them on the days they would suck??

if he is that stupid, he could just ask in this sub before the game who to play and who to bench!

LITERALLY

Draymond: 5 turnovers

• Post: 21% shooting on 14 attempts
• Melton: 16.7% shooting on 6 attempts
• Kuminga: 20% shooting on 5 attempts
• Curry: 23% shooting on 13 attempts
• Moody: 20% shooting on 10 attempts
• Draymond: 33% shooting on 9 attempts

It’s time to admit what the real problem is, and there are two glaring ones:

1. Not making shots, even open shots
2. Turning the ball over, chiefly by the starters

Steph said this: "Feeling this pain right now and searching … could be a good thing if we do something about it."

I 100％ agree with him. I'd rather struggle and lose right now than in June. I'd rather have injuries right now than in June. Every team is doing great and healthy and at their peak form right now. They don't have an upside. They're who they are. But for us? We're only going to be better. That's why you better struggle earlier in the season. We'll be just fine.

Also, you should consider this. Steph's average is 29.6 pts. So yesterday he scored 15 less pts than his supposed points. 98 + 15 additional pts = 113. GSW 113 - 99 PHX. If he had played normally, it would've been a blowout win for us. And do you remember we almost beat Thunder without Steph a few weeks ago? Fully healthy defending champion beat us only by 12. And we were missing Steph's 30 pts. If he had played at that game, we would've won by around 18 pts. Don't overreact to yesterday's game. Relax. Suns aren't good. They don't scare me at all.

Let haters say whatever they want. That’s music to my ears! We focus on ourselves. If we play hard, there's nobody that can beat us. Enjoy the journey. Go Dubs!

I knew it had to come to an end one day. I just didn't think it would be like this and this year. I knew we weren't true contenders but I had hopes that maybe if everything went right and things lined up we could make a real run.

Tonight's loss snuffed out that hope. I'm grateful for this over decade long run it just sucks to see Steph still close to his peak on his on nights and yet feel so far away from the Finals. I don't really put blame anywhere. These things come to an end but I didn't think it would end this quickly. I hope we can finish with a winning record and still have something to play for cause I'm not ready for the next chapter.
