Defending Steve Kerr

It’s almost as if there’s a whole 7 game series and even games before that of the Rockets trying to injure Warriors players So in context and knowing the Rockets, Sengun’s actions look plenty dirty

Some of us know this and trust the process But most fans think short term and don’t see the big picture Thus they criticize every step of the process The key is patience

I think this is applicable here xitter.twitterapi.xyz/optimisticvalks/status…

Anyone can just say anything on this app They were NOT 12-4 to start last year They were 9-7, and then 10-10 after 20 games So no, last year is not a cautionary tale for this year. Except that one Steph injury can ruin the season, that could be the real takeaway

49ers and Warriors mirroring each other Both have vets who know how to win Both have promising young rookie(s) - Yaxel, Stribling, Black Both want to win now before their core group declines or retires

Steph Curry really averaging 30 PPG on 50/40/90 splits… While playing UNDER 25 minutes a game? His MPG ranks 151st in the NBA, while putting up superstar level stats. This is actual insanity.

I saw everyone on social media that year talking about punk rock and how great Superman was Huge cultural impact. Disagree with James Gunn all you want but he’s a good creative storyteller

Any Draymond trade would have to get approved by Steph, and I just don’t see him letting Dray go Maybe it makes basketball sense to trade him, sure But from a human standpoint, if Steph wants him there, he stays. That’s why he’s still there.

Reminds me of the 2022 Finals Game 6 clincher The game ended and Steph celebrated the championship with his teammates But Iguodala went and got the game ball from a Celtics player to give to Steph later on

It’s the Kuminga dilemma You can’t win titles and develop young talent at the same time So for players like Juste there are 2 routes: 1) Stay and learn from a championship culture. Grow and be patient (see Jordan Poole 2019-2022) 2) Argue with coach and demand trade (see JK)

He gets hate from social media but Brandin Podziemski has played really well this season: 15.8 PPG 5.4 RPG 4.3 APG 47% FG 39% 3PT Career-highs across the board except for REB He’s playing winning basketball right now and making the right play. Give this man his flowers.

Are they biased? Sure. Do they frame things in a way that covers the warriors’ weaknesses? Also sure. But Fitz has some GREAT enthusiasm, and his calls on some big Steph moments have been HYPED And really, you’d really much rather have hyped and biased than monotone and fair

Man, maybe Mike Dunleavy actually COOKED with this roster A lot of haters in the preseason, including many warriors fans. But this roster is deep. And they’re getting Jimmy Butler back later in the season too…

The Golden State Warriors are the most valuable NBA team. The Golden State Valkyries are the most valuable WNBA team. Whatever they doing up there in San Francisco, it’s working 💰💰

This popped up again. No hate, just proof that people will always believe what they WANT to believe This comparison isn’t remotely true, considering the background of all the Valkyries players. But I get why Dream fans wanted to paint themselves as the good guy in the story

Oh this needs to be a @ClutchPoints graphic ASAP Get it done.

Since Friday, Chase Center has seen… - Valkyires win a championship - Golden State teams go 3-0 - Steph dropped Luka - Draymond ejection - Warriors’ 17-point comeback win Incredible aura within those walls right now 🔥

Proof that our algorithm influences what we think “the masses” think It’s not. It’s just the algo feeding you what you want My TL - and more importantly everyone in real life - is hopping. The chip has filled all my real life convos the past 2 days The Bay Area is BUZZING

Big picture thought #4 (final) - Can an NBA team take the same blueprint and run with it? This “Moneyball” mindset Take defense-first players on the margins, create a tight-knit culture, add one All-Star, elite coaching, and see how far you get.
