As you might already know, I suggested after the Christmas Game that getting the ball to Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson might be better served with an adjustment to include Jonathan Kuminga.And then when I realized that the franchise’s ecosystem had total buy-in from top to bottom — and that this way of doing this for the past decade might take some time to humanly steer the … [Read more...] about Steph Curry confirms simplifying the offense “probably last week”
Lacob’s funny speech to 49ers and what we can learn from Jed York
You ever watch a Klay Thompson podium visit and kinda go, “Lol why is he like that” — with maybe a mini-smh?

So it looks like Steve Kerr and the coaching staff actually changed things up from “get the ball to Stephen Curry (or Klay Thompson)” and, after all that top-blocking by the Memphis Grizzlies, decided to put Curry in the screener’s role to ultimately “get Jonathan Kuminga the ball” against the Atlanta Hawks last night.
