I'm proud of my Warriors. They have sacrificed so much in protest of current events, refusing to win a game until Kyrie apologeizes. I hope this is enough for them and don't feel the need to continue this virtuous losing streak until after his suspension.

[lionsheart_ministries]

What's wrong is Mike Brown is gone, GP2 is gone, Otto is gone. They're just going through the process. They need another Defensive minded assistant coach to help Coach Kerr out and hold guys accountable

[chinaskibukowski]

Losing GP2 and Otto Porter might be the death of the Warriors. Those 2 played scrappy defense, fought hard for rebounds, could hit open jumpers, set great screens and new when to roll. Big mistake letting both of them go.

[BigBrueser]

In most of their losses I’ve seen them build leads and then Kerr puts Poole, Mooney, Wiseman, Wiggs, and either Kuminga or J. green who eventual let the lead go. Growing pains reading these guys up for the end of the season. PHX proved last year don’t matter what your record is, just get to the playoffs

[ckron]

Gp2 was the glue last year his defense dunking being so short crowd shifter.

[stingray]

They are starting the season at the same time, experimenting with the rotations and young developmental players..this is the sacrficice they are willing to take Right Now rather than late into the season going thru the playoffs..

[wyethpurkiss]

Defense and their bench are the main issues. Missing Gary Payton right now I bet

[royduran]

We are feeling the absence of Mike Brown

[infiniteuniverse]

The biggest loss for the Warriors was losing coach Mike Brown, who's Kings are balling. GM Bob Myers had a terrible off season, failing to sign the entire Warrior's championship bench. Including players like GP3, Otto Porter and Damion Lee (leading the NBA in 3pt FG%) Combined with an apparent wasted #2 overall draft pick in Wiseman the year before, when he could have drafted Anthony Edwards instead. Draymond punching Jordan Poole was a bad omen for this year's squad from jump, and coach Kerr has made quite a few coaching mistakes this year as well. Especially his failing to suspend Green, which has cost him the ability to speak with moral superiority any longer about the handling of issues involving violence in our society.

[slamandjam]

Scoring hasn't been the issue at all. They can't defend a college team right now. They gotta figure something out

[davidrobles]

GP was such a tough loss. They need perimeter defense.

[leetraviusmckay]

"Teams are not afraid of the Golden State Warriors" 💯

[timatkinson]

They are burned out. Dramond is a walking mess who can’t score 10 points a game. Klay is not the same after injuries. Steph is the only one that is still clicking. The new guys haven’t found their roles.

[triodesrbetter]

Dubs are actually 10-11 deep, but that depth consists of the developing, younger players. They'll be vulnerable until they start to gel. From defense to finding the right combo, it will be a work in progress. And this was very much anticipated. With that payroll, you save by playing drafted players. Can't just keep paying market value qualifying exceptions to keep a veteran bench without hitting an astronomical multiplier in the tax bracket. This is the path/risk you take to contend long term, even if you skip out some years. So, yeah, teams need to take advantage when the field is wide open. Except for the Bucks. GL beating them at full strength.

[mahircelik]

Bjelica was switching the sets into a whole new playbook after he was off the bench(rivals could never adapt their play style because it was often changing) . Otto and gp2 was support fire and warriors was a none stop attack machine. Warriors lost much from their versatility. Wiseman is not for this team. He will never give Bjelica's contribution. Coach Kerr must give young guys serious roles. He can handle everything I believe in him. Maybe better trade Wiseman too.

[tayluc]

The west is healthy. Zion, the Nuggets, hopefully the Blazers and Clippers. Mavs are deeper, they aren’t going back I don’t care what anyone says.

[Davidgarcia]

1:24 what opportunity? He had two people guarding him, malika shouldn't talk about basketball.

[UnthinkableFairytales]

Can't just let your bench leave and believe everything is gonna be alright as if nothing happened.

[fredx]

For all those who have short memories - the Warriors went through something similar last year.

[Criminal.Lawyer.]

The Warriors lost Mike Brown, Payton, Otto...partied too much this summer, and then right before the season Draymond tool the life out of the team by attacking Poole. Also, Kerr is experimenting with the new players.
