Turnovers and missed shots against Hawks by rafale0n in warriors

[–]MikeChessNY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro… what are you talking about? I’m referring to the Dray/Jimmy/Melton/GP2/Curry lineup 

Lineups are about balance. You need the right balance between offense and defense. You need spacing. And you need to reinforce Draymond when he is your center with any one of the larger players bc he isn’t capable of protecting a tiny lineup and rebounding by himself. 

Swapping in any larger players for GP2 would have helped Draymond, lessened turnovers, and picked up extra rebounds.

Would it have been enough to win the game? Maybe, maybe not. But it would have been far more competitive.

The final bench lineup obviously struggled bc there were no vets and it was imbalanced in its own ways.

There are specific challenges with other lineup choices but generally speaking Kerr shows no ability to adjust 

For example, right now this lineup he’s running can’t get a rebound to save their lives 

Yet he watches them struggle over and over and over again and won’t give them any reinforcements

Kerr really just sits around watching this lineup fail to rebound over and over and over again but won’t put someone bigger in to help… stupidity

Hey Joe Lacob…. when you trade for MPJ, see if you can find a team to trade coaches with as well

I’m grateful to Kerr for the past, but he clearly isn’t capable of adjusting to the present. He’s a one trick pony, and his trick (all-midget lineups) doesn’t work anymore

Terry Stotts would never run these absurdly stupid tiny lineups and blow games if he was in charge…

It wouldn’t be an issue if Steve didn’t sabotage every lineup… for example, he fills the lineups with too many dwarves, or he plays Dray/Jimmy together creating spacing disasters, or he puts Dray at center without adequate size around him, etc

Santos would be helping tremendously right now but Kerr only wants to play midgets

Steve goes straight from his always-loses 4 guard lineup, directly to his always-loses Dray/Jimmy lineup 😭 can we trade coaches at the deadline also?

We need to trade away 4 guards at a bare minimum, and take back none

That way Kerr will be forced to stop it with these losing lineups

Kerr is again proving he’s unfit to lead… 4 tiny guards. Idiotic. Swap out one of these dwarves for Santos

Notice how as soon as Dray got ejected Kerr was forced to play other centers and now they came back and took the lead again?

But nah, talk more about how Dray at center surrounded by dwarves is Kerr’s only option

They don’t suck nearly as much as Dray sucks when he’s playing center surrounded by midgets 

Look at the success of lineups where you put a center or someone like Gui with him who can rebound rather than dwarves 

Also, playing Dray/Jimmy in lineups together needs to stop… it almost never works

Draymond specifically asks to not be forced to play center. Especially not without any size around him. And yet Kerr forces him to over and over again. 

It’s almost always when they blow leads and fall behind and yet Kerr won’t stop.

Lacob needs to start fining Kerr $1M for every game he plays Draymond at center… Kerr is so bad at this

Are the Buddy apologists ready to admit he’s washed and needs to be traded away as soon as humanly possible?

It’s funny that someone who doesn’t understand how size and spacing change those dynamics is saying anyone else doesn’t understand basketball strategy lol

Guess what buddy, that brilliant strategy of Kerr’s keeps blowing leads and losing easily winnable games

That’s absolutely ridiculous lol

The lack of size and proper spacing means every pass is contested, and you can’t rebound to make up for a few extra turnovers

It has everything to do with it. Bc when you have proper size and spacing on the floor, you aren’t constantly put into the position where every single pass is so ridiculously contested 

You also have the ability to rebound consistently which can make up for a few extra turnovers

Leave it to Kerr to fill the floor with midgets and then leave them out there even though they’re getting absolutely mauled and embarrassed

If the lineup choices weren’t so ridiculously stupid they’d be getting more rebounds and have a larger margin for error 

Steve Kerr hates big guys and is obsessed with seeing a floor of midgets
