I've watched about 10 of your games.

Your roster from players 5-12 is G League.

Davis, Holiday, Randle, Mirotic and Moore is a solid core. But that's it. Solomon Hill contract is a killer, and nobody thought it was a good idea at the time.

Well yeah, sorta.

You can maybe add Payton, who has been injured a lot, and Darius Miller at a stretch - but the latter is playing way too many minutes for a role player.

Major problems are

1/ No depth, which has been exacerbated by Payton & Mirotic's injuries

AD and Jrue are both in the top 5 in the league for minutes per game and there's a reason. We fall to pieces when they're not on the court.


2/ No defence. We rank 3rd in the league for offensive efficiency, behind the Dubs and Rockets, so it's not like we don't score enough points.

We give up way too many threes and force far too few turnovers for a team which should be relatively nimble on the perimeter. That's part attitude, part coaching. Speaking of which...


3/ Terrible late game execution. We're 21-24, yet our expected WL record is 25-20. We've been shocking in the final three minutes of games.

Eg. We lost 7 games by eight points or less in the space of 18 days in Dec/Jan.

AD & Jrue have not been good in clutch situations as a rule of thumb, but Gentry has been worse. No play calling and bizarre line-ups have cost us.


4/ We still have a major hole at SF. Even if we're fully fit, no team wants Moore + Miller playing the full 48 there. Dunno how we can solve this one.
 
Cousins doesn't have a minutes restriction. Is that the norm? Or is it just the Warriors cautious approach and he could have been back a while ago?
Reckon he does, they’re just not sharing it which is smart.
