10-3 since he came back in the games with Steph and Butler both playing. Is he the only reason they didn't beat Denver, Houston, or San Antonio? Steve Kerr is completely clueless when it comes to managing rotations and we saw that in the olympics and seeing it again now. If you think playing him and Butler together is such an issue then how about you play him when Jimmy is on the bench? You don't completely remove a player as good as Kuminga is out the rotation

I like Kuminga. But if you look at the +/- when he's on the floor with the rotations then it's a loss. I think Kuminga's going to have a long career in the NBA. But this isn't an easy system to wrap your head around and there's clearly problems with him in particular meshing with what the W's want to do.

These guys take it personally when coaches do things differently than they would LOL

Uh he got paid already so that’s not it. He’s Playoff Jimmy
I'm just saying you could put him on the floor for any team and he's going to have a positive effect regardless of the situation. I guess mercenary is a better term than paycheck player is.

How about awesome talent no matter the system? Mercenary also implies he’s all about the money. He wants to get paid same as everyone but he gives max effort towards winning every playoffs.

This might be a sweep or 5 game series at max from what I'm seeing in this first half

It isn't some sort of number nerd whispering in Kerr's ear that we need to keep this man down. It's him coaching the team and when he's in the rotations that Kerr wants to run they're either up by less or down by more when he pulls him off the floor. This isn't rocket science. The guy's obviously a raw talent and he's learned a lot but this isn't a team that's in a 'develop talent' mode.

Not true, maximum effort for the playoffs would include at least some effort for seeding. Maybe he gives maximum effort after the playoffs start.

Green was a top 3 pick. There is no reason he shouldn’t have a greater impact on the team. Same guy every single year since his rookie year

When I say stuff like this you tell me it’s just the first half of the first game lol

You're not lying but this is a gut feeling I have based on how scared this Rockets team look. The Denver team you spoke about yesterday are champs and they have the best player in the world.....aren't scared of the moment like these guys

He's got other things going on with his life. I don't fault him on making money #1. When he's on the floor he plays really smart basketball at 100%. I just don't see him losing sleep about not having won a title or giving a shit about whether or not he ends up in the HOF. He just strikes me as a very 'in the moment' kind of guy.

How the fuck did 'DillonBrooks Great Defender' become a thing? The guy's a hack who isn't really good at anything.
