The thing about Kuminga is he’s been unplayable bad for the Warriors on defense. People keep pointing at Steph’s on/off numbers but those minutes often coincide with when Kuminga is in the game and getting absolutely torched on switches and getting lost on help.

Offensively he’ll probably be a bigger threat for the Warriors based purely on his ability to actually score at the rim with the ball in his hands but he’s nowhere near Dray’s level as a hub for their motion offense and his lack of a consistent perimeter shot certainly isn’t going to help their spacing. (Len was pretty much leaving the guy wide open on the perimeter all game and freely playing goalie because no one cares if he took that shot or not). Also feels like Kerr would rather go super small with Wiggins/Payton/DDV/Klay/Curry instead of playing Kuminga whenever Looney isn’t in the game.

Kerr has very little trust in Kuminga.The only way I can see him having an impact is if Looney is in constant foul trouble

Tomorrow's game is gonna ride on Payton, Kuminga, Poole, Divencenzo, Moody stepping up for the Warriors. I expect Wiggins, Curry, Thompson to contribute at least 75 pts. They'll need at least 2 of those 4 to score in double figures. I think its an even better time to try Len in with Sabonis. Sag Len off their worst shooter, an back for penetration and let Sabonis run the high screens and get some exercise.

Why would a team that is up 2:0 in a series and is averaging over 120 points in those 2 games would try to drastically change how they operate on offense.Btw Domas is a King because Indy tried to make a PF out of him.

If anything we should use Sabonis even more aggressively as a C since the Warriors are going to be even weaker there. I'd like to see more immediate reposts on Domas kick outs to punish them in the paint.

Maybe it's just me, but I've always had a great deal of respect for Steve Kerr. He's a very bright guy. Watching the video while he just turns his head and allowed Draymond to act like that to the fans with the commissioner sitting directly across court? Kerr nor ANY team member/staff did a thing to stop him/cool him off. Idiots.

Kerr is complicit in Green's antics. I lost respect for Kerr a while ago.

Green is a thug who should have been banned from the series. One of these days he's going to seriously injure somebody and end their career. I guess the league will wait until that disaster to get serious. Morons.

GS will miss Green's interior passing, as well as his defense. I don't think the Kings should change a thing in their game plan. Continue with the run like hell and let it fly approach; get the ball in to Sabonis just like you usually would. Let GS adjust and change their plan.

For defense and intangibles - you know - the way they won their 2nd game despite being outshot. It could be a 'try and see' thing, to gauge how it might work. They may not do it, who know. Think like a Dennis Rodman affect hopefully. Causing havoc on rebounding and shotblocking. Kings have plenty of scorers and shooters already.

Kerr always seemed like a stand up guy to me. So, you can see how desperate he is to be defending Green for the curb stomp on Sabonis.

Reportedly, the Warriors are "livid" that Green got suspended. Could you imagine if Sabonis had curb stomped Curry or Klay for holding their ankles. Warrior Nation would be calling for blood right now.

A one game suspension is more than fair considering Green's history and antics. This suspension not only protects the Kings, but it protects all other players from getting curb stomped in the future.

I have only just watched this and didn't realise he grabbed his junk gesturing to the crowd. People have been fined for doing things like that in celebration and taunting before. Guess they ignored that.

He also requested that the crowd provide him with oral pleasure when doing so but maybe using more abrasive language.

Besides suspending Green which should have been 2 games the league should have ordered he get anger management therapy.

Didn't DMC have to do that before?

The Warriors should be getting him help, not enabling him and sweeping this under the rug for him to just explode one day. And when he does explodes and really hurt someone, it could be one of his own teammates like he did on Poole in the pre-season.

I have followed Steve Kerr since I became a fan of college basketball and those Arizona teams with Sean Elliott. I am a fan. I don't think anyone on this board would doubt my sincerity in saying that.

With this he has announced "winning makes everything ok".

Shame on you Steve Kerr.

"Frankly, it makes us win."

Frankly, Steve, at already down 0-2 you're about to go into a must-win home game missing one of your top players and staring a serious lack of front-court depth in the face as you come up against one of the best low post players in the league. Frankly, Steve, if you end up losing the series this suspension may end up being the single largest factor, and it's all because Draymond Green shot y'all in the foot. Maybe some things don't need to be defended, Steve.

Does that make it ok to go after Curry's ankles? Because you know it's about winning.

Happy about Green, but It really sucks though that They said Sabonas may not play in the next game due to injury. I didn't think his injury was that bad, guess I was wrong..... Hopefully if that's the case he will only be out 1 game.

Actually Coach Brown just said on a TNT interview that he will play tomorrow since he was able to practice today, so that's good news.
