The Golden State Warriors have dominated their competition since the Steph Curry era began.

They have been one of the NBA’s best teams over the past decade, a sign of what one star player can do for an organization.

While Curry has led the team to great heights in the past, their recent performances have left something to be desired.

While the Warriors could technically make another run to the NBA Finals, it’s tough to do so after being a play-in team.

Craig Carton recently discussed the Warriors’ current state in a segment of his show, trying to identify what has gone wrong for them this season.

Carton said, “Steve Kerr doesn’t coach. He sits there; he does nothing.”

Carton believes that many of the Warriors’ problems stem from Kerr and that his coaching style might be a reason for their current position.

At least in Carton’s mind, this team’s potential is capped without Kerr doing a proper coaching job.

The West has gotten better over the past season, with teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves, Oklahoma City Thunder, and the Los Angeles Clippers all taking a massive step forward.

This has made it difficult for aging teams like the Warriors to compete, especially if they are at a coaching disadvantage.

The playoffs will be here soon, giving fans a chance to see how it will all play out.

 

Jonathan Kuminga was back with the Golden State Warriors on Sunday night, playing his first game since the end of March because of a knee injury.

But after months of being a starter, Kuminga came off the bench during Sunday’s game.

Afterward, he spoke with NBC Sports and was asked about becoming part of the team’s second unit.

He didn’t have a problem with head coach Steve Kerr’s decision.

“Everything is moving well. Why would you want to move away from what is moving well?” Kuminga said.

Kuminga’s 21 points and 10 rebounds showed that he was picking up where he left off at the end of March.

But Kerr made it clear that Kuminga might be coming off the bench for the rest of the season.

Kuminga with the second unit gives the Warriors a lot more depth and can keep them competitive for the entire game.

Kerr is attempting to work out the best lineup possible to keep the team’s playoff hopes alive.

Kuminga is coming back to Golden State at a very pivotal time.

The team is the tenth in the West with a 43-35 record and is fighting for a spot in the Play-In Tournament.

They are hoping that Kuminga continues to put up big numbers and remain consistent, both as a starter or off the bench.

He has been a very welcome and pleasant surprise for the team all season long, averaging 16.4 points and 4.8 rebounds per game.

After a couple of years of being a bench player, Kuminga earned his spot as a starter and many fans are hoping he gets it back soon.

That might happen but Kerr is going to stick with his current lineup, at least for the time being.
