Yes

JK likes to shoot and score. He doesn't move the ball well. He makes some really dumb plays. With Steph on the floor, you can't be doing that.

Without Steph, his scoring is needed and he has the freedom to just play like himself, which is as a scorer. And it has worked for him.

I will say if they do manage to win this series I think he gets a shot to play a ton of the non Steph minutes in the conference finals.

I don't disagree with anything you've written.  But to not play at all with Curry in uniform, and behind sone of these other players, is still puzzling to me.  It's not like Moody and Pod have been great.  Heild has had huge moments.  But Knox and Spencer?  Golden State has had issues scoring the entire playoffs, even with Steph.

Again, you have to trust that the 4x NBA champion coach (who also was a 5x NBA champion player, gold-medal winning Olympic coach, and an NBA GM) knows the situation better than any of us do.

Or not. You do have the right to think you know more about what's going on with the Golden State Warriors than Steve Kerr does.

Hope the Wolves do well tonight / tomorrow. Way too late for me. Will check my phone for the result when I get up around 6a.

Manatees are tremendous marine mammals.  Don't project or disparage them.  They are not fish.

Plus another lottery pick this year as well.  To go with the last 2 ROYs, Sochan, and Fox.  They should be terrifying in a hurry.
