Bogut wants to get in shape to play for half a game? Big deal.

Klay had an easy open jumper..and Monta like, he clunked it.
He’s paid millions..no excuse to miss what he makes in practice 11 times out of ten.

Curry? He needed to bulk up in the off season..and didn’t.

I had high hopes for him..but he’s not aggressive..the ankle? maybe.

Darned disappointing in the Strassbogut. Every other day ,part time. Sounds more like he needs to play more,get in shape…then rest. How I would do it.

Eliminate the careless turnovers and the Dubs win that game. One thing if the other team makes a good play to cause a turnover but there were several lazy passes that led to turnovers and easy Kings baskets.

The problem with Curry at the moment is he is taking at least 4 or 5 forced transition jumpers that he misses. His game might be off, maybe he could hit a couple more, but the problem is that the rest of the Warriors are running with him and he isn’t rewarding them.
Also Lee and Landry shouldn’t be on the floor together, from what I have seen they are terrible defensively when playing together, both have similar needs from an offense perspective (18 footer or block) so the spacing on offense often becomes crowded or confusing. I agree they should go with Jenkins for a spark once in a while. Maybe try Barnes at the two spot every now and then and put him on the block/wing for an iso every now and then, we all know from college he is good at dominating smaller wing players.

Doesn’t Curry start out slow every year now? I think when his shot comes around he’ll be fine, he is not gonna shoot 35% all year, c’mon. He’s struggling, no doubt. Coach needs to recognize this, there’s no way he should be playing 39 mpg, Jenkins could provide a nice spark. You’ll never know unless you try.

Daniel,

Curry had a bad night. We know he’s not a point. Jack has removed all doubts there. But curry is a legit scorer. Something is off to start this season. Give it a month and check back in, Curry hasnt really played in 2 years.

What he brings is a lighting quick release, dead eye shot, and ++ ball handling and passing POTENTIAL (he doesn’t do it night in and night out, sorry)

I agree, 6’3 scoring guards arent very valuable (although $44 mil is OK contract)… I preferred Lillard from the gate, but its too late now…

maybe I am blind or something, can smart people explain to me what they see in Curry? What do people see that I don’t see?

Curry is not a PG. Curry is an undersized SG w/ decent ball handling skills. Handles? He does not have them.

Plus Curry is a terrible/lazy defender. Jimmer , for pete’s sake, scored on him 2 or 3 times and you can bet that Keith Smart instructed Jimmer to go at Curry when he got in.

If Curry is your designated franchise player. the W’s will fail.

wil is right but doesn’t state it strongly enough…Jackson is full of cliches statements and Smart thoroughly outcoached him Monday…..OUTCOACHED him…..his substitution pattern is weak, his long leash on 3 point shooting is too long….he lets the other team dominate the match-ups….yeah the honeymoon is over and divorce on the horizon…..
long career, nice guy, doesn’t cuss…can’t much coach and still visibly leaning on Mike Malone for strategy

The offense is a little scattered right now…but, consider: they shot only 40% last night and Curry was inarguably awful (for the 2nd time in 4 games shooting the ball), BUT, he had 8 assists and 6 rebounds. For the first time in 4 games, they got little from Carl Landry, Bogut still cannot play more than 20 minutes, and they could have won if Klay makes that jump shot. The offense will come around…even without Rush, no doubt a big loss, there is a lot of offensive firepower here. The defense has been much better in the early going. Barnes is showing aggressiveness, not a tepid rookie (remember Marco Bellynelli (sic)?) His shot will come around. Klay could not hit the broad side of a barn for the first 1/3 of the season last year, but Barnes, like Klay is a very good shooter (not as good as Klay, but still very good). He will relax and come around.

Curry, while he has had 2 bad games shooting out of 4, will not likely do this very often…his shot is too pure. Lee’s offense too will come around. Festus is the bestus backup center in the league right now. The only time Beidrin’s (or Jeremy Tyler) will, or should see the court is because of injury. There is a lot to be hopeful about, although, admittedly there are also signs of the same old Warriors to a certain degree too. But there is hope.

And lastly, I was SO GLAD last night, even though Klay did not drain that shot, there was no Monte to go to, for a 10 second isolation dribble, everyone else standing around and hoping that the one last shot would go in. They ran a play, and ran it well, and he just did not drop it in. Sometime in the future, it will, or Curry’s will, or Lee’s will…but at least it is not always the Monte finish of old.
