What I don’t understand is why everyone is mad about Klay being in last night. Klay had a pretty good game and with Draymond back, they could’ve gone small and have Moody in with the starters minus Looney (who did not have a great game last night and sold at the line too late)
A lot of us were mad because Klay had cooled off and started to miss shots/make mistakes and Kerr was bringing in wiggins for defense so you can't have Steph, Moody, Klay out there in crunch time, but benching a higher energy player who is red hot in a moment like that probably did them in.
Moody is not some proven player and there's a decent chance he would've missed his next two shots or something, but it's still a decision you typically just don't make in those situations unless you have some prime all star instead of Klay.
Not to mention a huge confidence hit to the young guys. Kuminga got no run last year, podz got 0 minutes this game, then you have Moody playing good D and hitting every shot and he still gets taken out? I'd feel pretty defeated knowing that's my future on this team.
And people wonder why wiseman didn't develop. Just shitty coaching and privilege culture.
Wiseman is another symptom of this but let’s be real - he’s not going to develop in any situation.
