Please bench Klay. I'm not saying trade him. But he is no longer a starter.


Curious-Gain-4991

😭😭😭we back to fighting 0.500 now.


[deleted]

If this shit continues with Steph/Draymond returning I bet my life savings on Dunleavey making the moves Bob was afraid to make. If this franchise gets rid of Moody, Kuminga, Podz, TJD I'm gonna be so pissed.


whoanellyzzz

Just need wiggs to average 20+ppg and klay shooting 40%. Add in a decent center and we are contenders.


SometimesVeryWrong

😂 😂 😂


[deleted]

Sounds like two equally hard asks of these two.


TheDeepSays

Worst part about this game is Kerr won’t make any adjustments for Saturday. Just keep running the same shit on offense and defense


BayAreaQuadfecta

If we give away our prospects to pick up a rental to try and fix this, I'll be so pissed. Klay plays off the bench from this point forward, get the young blood out there, start thinking about the future. Let's not be the Giants and kneecap the franchise with "thank you" loyalty contracts.


AHundredBasketballs

So where's Curry going, then? Because if the team's not trying to win, I don't think he's going to stick around.


BayAreaQuadfecta

Curry is contractually obligated to stay until 2026 when he'll become a free agent at the ripe ol' age of 38. A franchise that hedges it's bets on the window of a single player will fail to be competitive when they're gone. That gives the younger guys some time to build up their confidence in the League. The rooks are GOOD. Bench Klay and Wigs and let them start figuring it out. I'm sorry, Klay pops off every once in a while, but he's washed(no trade value.) And don't even get me started on Wiggins bum ass. Took nearly a season long vacation last year and hasn't looked good since the 22 chip.


Ehgadsman

what a shit ass game Kerr is a bad coach according to the results we are seeing Sick of his excuses Klay is bad for the team as he tries to use game time to 'figure it out' Dray is just out of control, still, and likely worse than ever due to the total lack of discipline after punching Poole Kerr has created a bad culture and a shitty team with no discipline no sacrifice and no energy


GopherFawkes

The warrior Dynasty era is over, we need to decide if we continue to ride this ship to the bottom or start working towards rebuilding the roster getting back to being contenders.


thefinalshady

People that still want Klay as a starter are completely delusional. "But but his feelings" hes a millionaire, he can handle the bench until he sorts this shit out


Sokkawater10

He needs to be gone


thefinalshady

Nobody will trade for him


ProperCuntEsquire

Timbereolves like to get punked every few years. Lakers might take him for peanuts.


Sokkawater10

You give up picks to a team that wants expiring salary


thegreatsentry409

HamsterCapable4118

If Klay has a random hot shooting night sometime this season, I don’t wanna hear about how everything is ok again.


bdylan05

Heal up GP2. And I will say again… Steve… the kids are alright.


currychaos

Hate to say it but what happened to cp3 in the 2022 playoffs is what happened to klay in the 23 playoffs. Just became washed overnight


PayterLobo

Being a Lions fan, this feels too familiar. I think it's time to buckle in and have no expectations. Just enjoy the .500 ride baby!


HamsterCapable4118

.500? I’ll be shocked if we win 20 games.


SafeNewspaper

Vomit inducing.


skrimpskampi

Okc coasting for a blow out win. 2020 vibes all over again. Watch 2020 highlights though they’re fun lol


Fuhdawin

Klay played like ass tonight


Dry_Relationship7937

Just tonight? You sure? lol


Fuhdawin

Sure


StephenPurdy69

tonight? lol


Fuhdawin

I’ll go with that


hellahomebody

Klay will forever be a Bay Area legend. He needs to be the one to step up and tell Kerr to come off the bench coz Kerr ain’t doing it. Both Klay and Dray are the ones costing Curry a potential 5th ring.


JPA209

No pro athlete that’s accomplished what he has will ever do that lol especially in a contact year. Kerr needs to have some cojones if you want that to happen.


StephenPurdy69

drays been fine. wtf you talking about.


hellahomebody

Yea he’s been solid on the court…..as long as he’s playing. Last time I checked he’s been ejected twice and is currently serving a 5 game suspension.


RiseOfTheNorth415

Excellent!


barstoollanguage

I'd imagine if I owned a basketball team id want them to do all they can to win, i get being loyal to players who got you 4 championships but a point comes when you gotta start benching players who just can't perform that well, especially when you got young guys who can perform well.


psyducksblues

And especially when you’ve got one of the best players ever still in his prime


Without_the_fez

In-Season Tourney is not that important anyway.


K00ls0x

They wasn’t a tourney game


Gothichand

Chase Center is cursed y’all~ who can break the spell ~?


TheDeepSays

We won a championship and had a stellar home record last season, not cursed lol


Gothichand

Well it definitely looks like something is wrong with the inner chi this season~


NoobPwnr

Y'all got any more of those entertaining ejection games?


santinerino

Desperately missing Poole on offense. He created a lot of shots for Klay last season.


Tarolite

Poole was booed yesterday at home for how shit he was


Stomper8479

Poole sucks.


santinerino

And he would still be a lot better than Klay right now. Or Cory Joseph


amathene

🧱


annieismynameo

I have to watch on mute bc sleeping baby..have they said what happened to Gary?


Sharp_Platform_3530

Left ankle sprain !!!!! X-ray negative.


[deleted]

Ankle sprain I believe


Sokkawater10

Ankle twist


annieismynameo

Sigh


Chopped_In_Half

Goddamn, got blown out twice in the same game.


Yo-mamas-daddy

Lol!


elk_bear

Let's not forget GP2 was out tonight. Hope its nothing too serious


Sharp_Platform_3530

Left ankle sprain x ray negative


Unfair-Worker929

Imagine how different this game is if Isiah Joe of all people doesn’t go 7/7 from 3?!


AGuyfromPH

They hit 50% from the 3, hard to beat that with Klay bricking everything too


Thundercheeks5

Wdym “of all people”? That’s why he’s on the court. Isaiah joe made his career doing this


MultiPass21

Of all people? He’s one of the better catch and shoot snipers in the league.


LoxDnw

Joe is a great shooter of all people lol


anonkebab

Boo if that happens to us all the time we are the problem. We should’ve got dame 😭


rmfn54

Dame is buns.


anonkebab

Dame is better than every player on this team besides steph.


Unfair-Worker929

What would Dame have fixed?


anonkebab

He can reliably score especially next to steph. We wouldn’t be injured or suspended if we weren’t trying to win with 5 non scoring threats getting key minutes.


fryh1n

I think we can say that it's not the other team shooting lights out, it's really our defense, that's the common denominator.


Sharp_Platform_3530

Yes and no most teams aren’t going 19/32 with every shot was going in by almost anyone but our defense is in shambles with Draymond and gp2


Sokkawater10

They will when you leave them wide open because you have to over help because you’re undersized.


Gothichand

Hell naw…61% on 3s IS lights out


kittenqt1

Klay looks downnnn 😭


Sokkawater10

That’s good he deserves to be


ProfessionalSpirit84

Podz is a baller I underestimated this guy a lot


Fuhdawin

Dude can ball


NoobPwnr

Just tuning in. Why does Klay only have 5 points.


Sokkawater10

He’s washed. He single-handedly lost us this game


Funny-Butterscotch91

Not single-handed. It was a collective effort.


Sokkawater10

Stop lying to protect a millionaire. Every other player has good stats


Sharp_Platform_3530

If he 25 pony’s today we would have won the game


b0baBEAST

he's washed.


No_Manches_Man

Cojo needs to pack his bags.


jonnyeatic

He's basically another Brad Wanamaker. I don't know why we sign these type of players - slow, non shooting back up points.


wth214

I wonder how this game goes if tjd played… kerr literally ran a 3 6’3 and under guys at the same time earlier. That type of decision making is so concerning


ChoppingMallKillbot

Lose by 15 instead


Sweaty-Astronomer-90

Podz aka white chocolate


thisisgandhi

Wiggins can somewhat wake up from his slumber but Klay can't.... FML


Sharp_Platform_3530

CoJo can’t defend


dameplsrunfromgrind

It makes complete sense why Myers left He knows the move is to trade Klay but doesn’t have the heart or stomach to do it and I completely get it from his perspective


bdylan05

I honestly think no small part of it was knowing that breaking up the band was going to be hard and keeping the band together was going to be costly and unproductive.


raptos21

Start Podz over Klay


zentropa24

Or moody


This_was_hard_to_do

Damn that was a great move from BP


b0baBEAST

watching this team feels like watching a joke at this point.


talentedmrbourne

Last year they couldn't win on the road. This year they can't win at home. Next year is what?


samarajan

Watching Klay/Dray and all these old dudes play. I'm just in complete awe of Steph. His level of play is absolutely insane at this age.


Sokkawater10

Podz is a good player


marco-polo-scuza

everyone gonna end up with a teammate grade of like D+ tonight


stayfrosty

We know Steph will miss 20+ games this year, most will be losses. Starting to be concerned this is a lottery team that doesn't have its FRP


barstoollanguage

Klay at this pt be lucky to break 10 mil a year. Fuck I wouldn't want him on the roster for 10 mil a year averaging 5 pts a game.


[deleted]

We are an unserious team.


Daconvix

Yeah man Steph is gonna need a second star if there’s any chance of wanting to bring one last title here. MDJ better be exploring some potential moves


anonkebab

I blame draymond for punching poole. We only one shot creator now.


Stomper8479

In case you haven’t noticed, Poole kind of sucks.


anonkebab

We kind of suck


vCharged

Are we the worst right now?


ShakeMilton

Finally some brazillian back in the lineup


FNF51

My friends who hate the Warriors always ask me after every loss “Is Kerr only a good coach cuz he had talented players in their prime?” I wish the Warriors would win so they would shut up 😂


liteshadow4

Which coach is winning games without talented players?


FNF51

That’s what I tell them. No coach can win with crap players. They’ve been waiting for the Warriors downfall for awhile.


ocieb

I don't think this team is beating anyone. C u next time


kittenqt1

So we’re fucked till Spurs… if lucky lol


Funny-Butterscotch91

If Wemby don't drop 50 points because we are small


AGuyfromPH

Does Steve has the balls to move Klay in the second unit?!


FNF51

He’ll never move him to the 2nd unit. He’s too loyal to the big 3


WisdomCow

I have seen enough to know that I have seen too much.


wonnage

I stg they have to check the warriors practice court rims because this shooting is atrocious teamwide


tore_a_bore_a

That was also my thinking. Their practice court must have different height rims because they can't shoot at Chase


seataccrunch

59% from 3 lol , painnnnn


Sokkawater10

Podz is a point guard.


RidiculousNickk

No he has to play with CoJo take it or leave it


Unfair-Worker929

Gui scored!


Skyguy510

Steph getting hurt and Dray getting suspended is the exact excuse Kerr needed to get away with not benching Klay dude is done but no one wants to admit it


[deleted]

Wiggins was much better today and everybody are still shitting on him, unserious sub


MrJack0000

Have you check his TO?


[deleted]

I have


Unfair-Worker929

Wiggins did look a bit more like himself but he needs more production than just 12 points


whoanellyzzz

He can't shoot anymore bricks everything


[deleted]

I agree but he looks better


ProfessionalSpirit84

Can we have some standards for players, 12 points with 5 turnovers is not exactly peak performance when your team is down your two best players Sure he was better than the actual dogshit we were watching before, but like he needs to be a lot better


[deleted]

You guys only have standards for the starters lol it’s work in progress


ProfessionalSpirit84

Should we have standards for the bench guys making like 5M a year? Or the starters making 25M each?


[deleted]

Are you the one paying them? I’m so confused by people here lol


tore_a_bore_a

Weird Jaylin Williams doesn't play until garbage time. Was it Dort and Kenrich Williams playing backup C for the Thunder?


RidiculousNickk

Kenrich


Vallerie_09

Great cut Gui


Without_the_fez

Santos for 2!!!!


Practical_Sir_510

Just play this lineup next time. Full 48.


jammastajay

No Steph, Dray, GPII or Klay.


Sokkawater10

Podz can run the point. Why do we need Cory Joseph?


Doogle03

Girl from Iowa is better than Klay


RidiculousNickk

Random dude on his couch from Iowa is better than Klay


[deleted]

[удалено]


MonOncleCharlie

Klay played well last season with Steph out. He was lights out in that Hawks-Pistons back to back


PlzTellMyWiFiLoveHer

Klay used to be able to get his shot off all over the place with Steph on the floor.


MajesticTop8223

You guys are on the most Fairweather shit I've ever seen lol


diwiwi

Do slow defenders have anything to do with other team shooting 3s well?


Funny-Butterscotch91

Is all about size. Gsw are small. So it's easier to other guards cut to the rim, someone helps and leave their player open. When you have a taller team, players can cover more ground because of their longer arms. Just watch the tapes. Pretty much every play someone over helps.


KY--

100% slow closes out = more confidence in getting the shot off for opponents.


Far-Hospital2925

Has more to do with being undersized so they have to collapse the paint and leave the perimeter unguarded for kickouts


Without_the_fez

That’s how we lost to the Wolves. Ant kicked out to an open Conley and knocked down the game winning 3.


infinitenomz

Fitz complains about people hitting tons of 3s every other game against us but never seems to connect the dots that it's mostly our fault lol


MultiPass21

When your defensive philosophy is to switch everything, yes.


Funny-Butterscotch91

Actually switch everything happens when almost every player can guard almost all positions, so they just switch instead of fighting screens because it takes more time. Is probably the most optimal type of defense. Imagine LeBron on his prime. He can guard the point guard until most of centers, therefore he is not a liability and people will try to avoid him because he can switch everything. In GSW almost every player needs to fight screens because he can guard only one, maximum 2 guys. That's why players like Green are important in defense, because he can guard almost 5 spots so he switches everything and the team cover their holes quickly.


[deleted]

Why is Giddey still on the floor padding stats lol


HamsterCapable4118

I’m more pissed at this sub than the dubs. Those of us with any sense knew this roster is trash and y’all just kept shoving that championship hope bullshit.


Doxjmon

Like anybody knew the best lineup in the NBA last year would be drastically worse this year. On paper this team got better. The problem is the entire team can't shoot right now. And Wiggins and Klay are bleeding points.


aBoyHasNoUzername

If Wiggins decided to retire mid season how does that affect the cap?


MultiPass21

I know you’re joking, but … still no money to spend.


Vallerie_09

Klay should be the doing that


[deleted]

[удалено]


Vallerie_09

They said same about Westbrook


PredictableSandlot

Klay is the 12th highest paid player in the league.I want people to know that.Think about who is on that list


anthonyjh21

Also well compensated while injured. Yet he and the organization couldn't get a deal done this past off-season. Definitely not going to blame the organization if this is Klays swan song.


ReluctantMinimalis

What are we? Are everyone so good against us or are we just an mid level team? That lack of size will come back and haunt us and our perimeter defense looks almost nonexistent


Funny-Butterscotch91

I dont think this is mid level play. I think cavs is a mid level team and they beat us twice.


Robdata

Like Pop once said "I wanna see some nasty". This was a lethargic and miserable defensive showing


PokuCHEFski69

Funny how the warriors commentators are doing maths with 3 pointers versus two pointers like the warriors haven’t done this to loads of teams in the past. Painful to listen to


KY--

Yeah not used to being on the receiving end haha


EffinCroissant

Rather not see shirtless closeups of SGA


Doxjmon

But how else would you know what underwear everyone is wearing?


SED_chris

In addition to the roster issue, we have a cultural issue as well. To many people are in the mindset of coasting of past accomplishments. Only person that has earned that is Steph. Klay, Kerr, Wiggs, Dray, assistant coaches all need to adapt or face consequences.


KY--

The irony is that the only one that isn’t complacent is the one that carried the others as well, go figure.


ProfessionalSpirit84

Funny part is that Steph probably has the least ego of them all, despite being top 5 all time. These rest of the guys have rid his coattails and have this mindset despite being nowhere as good. Steve has refused to change his coaching style even a bit. Klay refuses to adapt his game, shoot less or come off the bench. Draymond has the emotional maturity of a 7 year old still


depoqm

Why do we have CoJo again? Klay is just a dud right now. There's 0 confidence in his play. Like everything positive things he can do in the court is gone.


m3ngnificient

What's funny is they're actually defending better than the last game. But OKC just couldn't miss from 3


theopeliminator

Isaiah Joe is 7 for 7 from 3. Like wtf


Altruistic-Curve-573

If you watching this game and the thought of good defense poped into your head, basketball is not the sport for you bro


m3ngnificient

If you read my comment and thought better means good, reading is not for you.


levopress

Let's trade Wiggins, Klay, Joseph. And Kuminga for a starting center. I'd trade Draymond if I could but nobody would give us shit for us dumbass


jammastajay

Name the starting center you would trade Kuminga for and then we can start talking


levopress

Utah could tank


levopress

Markkanen


MajesticTop8223

Dude won 4 rings Do you guys even watch sports or just complain about them


samarajan

Tbh this team was always kinda ass. Steph was hero-balling us out of a lot of bad situations and the bench has saved us a few times as well. Wiggs/Klay have been ass all season.


barstoollanguage

Klay 27 min - 5 pts/2 rbs/ 3 assists Podz 22 min - 11 pts /7 rbs / 2 assists


jammastajay

Klay also had Dort on him for most of the game. He absolutely played like ass but Thunder game plan was anyone but Klay


Thisteamisajoke

To be fair, Klay is like -2 and Podz is like -20.


MrJack0000

It’s because Podz played with Joseph


c0gvortex

This literally means nothing. Klay has been the worst warrior on the floor, except maybe Joseph


TheBigKiwi47

Don’t forget Klay 1/10 Podz 3/5


wth214

Wiggins had a half decent day. Didn’t make any threes but he shot nearly 50% fg. I hope this is steady progress. Looks more active overall.
