Well, Perk has a point. Kerr came in after Mark Jackson showed them how to play defense. Kerr has been a Curry fan pretending to be a coach. After KD departed from Warriors. Kerr had to show he could coach? It’s been the players covering up for Kerr. Now you will see, Kerr really does not know how to coach. The team is not ready because there is nobody there to coach them. Just look back and check when GS lost more than 2 or 3 game in a row.

Remember, Golden State got beat by 39 against the Grizzlies in game 5 of the playoffs last year. Don’t freak out. Golden State will figure it out.

N, no they can’t beat the griz without Steph and the game is gonna be an epic blow out. Sucks for all the fans that circled this day on their calendars and bought their kids Xmas gifts to watch Steph curry. But hey you can’t predict injuries and at the end of the day everyone just wants him to get better. But yea sucks for the kids.

Warriors didn’t not just lost key bench player in jp2, porter jr, belijia and lee… more so they have lost an intelligent high iQ coach in Mike brown and that’s ain’t easy to recover just in blink of eyes. We will better but its might take time

Nobody really cares what Perk has to say about the Warriors. Good or bad. We all know he hates them. So his weirdo remarks are hella goofy

Warriors ain’t winning at all. Memphis will win by a large margin, the only way Warriors will win or make it at least a good contest is by Klay stepping up, forget Poole, It’s Klay who has to stay up really badly. Klay and Poole need to both have a good game in order for the warriors to have a chance.

Kendrick has a point about last year bench way stronger than its current bench

Guys ik this one of our favorite shows but kendrick Perkins did admit on a podcast that the first take producers tell them to say stuff that they don’t agree with sometimes to make a debate and headlines. and kendrick did say he had to say stuff he didn’t agree with but had to make it seem like he agree with

Who even care what perkins thinks. His words has no value. Whenever I see perks on ESPN thats the only time my television is off.

This is a test for their entire season on this game regardless of who isn’t going to play.
Here is a team that don’t care based on what happen last year wanted to crush and embrass the W the champs.
Whoever is able to play particular Poole, Thompson, Green they will need to dig deep to find that Champ DNA, guys like JK, Moody, even Wiseman whatever minutes they get will need to show what they are made of and show what they learn last year to make sure like Steven A said show some pride and stand up and don’t let what happen the last two games especially with the Grizzlies who will if allowed walk and run over the team at Home!
What happens this game will determine this season even when Curry returns and their future as to who is the future and who stays.
