What is Pat McCaw missing? Kyrie you ain't slick and Conor

It just didn’t look right. He sleeps him quick in the rematch and will now for sure.

Conor Khabib rematch is gonna make a lot of money. Just sayin. Also, Conor's coach on Joe Rogan saying prize fighting is about taking damage for money, says a lot about this loss. Next fight may be a truer test as I totally agree Conor was taking too much risk. Khabib going toe 2 toe the whole third round was somewhat risky as well, but who knows how much Conor was really trying to win. Almost seems like Conor sized him up in the first 10 seconds of the fight where he could have easily popped off and said, okay, let's make some money and I'll get you back next fight.

His lack of confidence magnifies his lack of strength. If your decisive it can make up for it.

You nailed it with Mccaw. He plays scared and that doesn't fly on this team. It's the reason why we got Casspi out of here. I know Mccaw will never be a great shooter but you still can't be scared to shoot it when you're open on this team. Draymond isn't a good shooter but he will not hesitate if he has to. It's just the mentality and toughness you need to have when you play on this team. It's the reason why this is a championship team. Mccaw is a player who can put up decent stats on some garbage team and give the overall impression that he's a good player. But he ain't cut from the same cloth as Curry, KD, Draymond, Klay. Too soft.

Your right he never got a chance to really show anything when he got back from his G league stint. The body thing can be deceiving, guy like Corey Brewer with an identical built, just has way more functional, or basketball strength. Sure you can be rail thin but you have to have a lot of ...core strength. For a lack of a better term. I keep reading that the front office has “ taken note” of this or this has raised some brows around the team. Reading between the lines it seems the relationship has been damaged.

Thanks man!

I still hate to see McCaw go, it will weaken the team at their most critical need, wing depth. I think the test of your analysis re confidence is what we saw in his rookie year, which would have to show the same lack of confidence if it's a chronic issue, and I just don't remember that well, but I know how the "what have you done for us lately?" thing goes. Physical lack of strength, no doubt, but there certainly have been players who have thrived in the NBA with that kind of body - Gervin, Miller, et al. Another thing to consider is it seemed to me like he got some of his confidence back later in the year, but right when the injuries hit him, so we didn't really get to see if he'd righted that ship. So if he signs with Minnesota or whoever, do the Warriors match and trade? Just letting him go seems ridiculous, because he's not going to get money that's prohibitive for the Warriors to match, and anything in return, maybe a 2nd-round pick, is better than nothing. The other thing is he hasn't demanded a trade, which is one of the things making this so perplexing. Maybe it is all his father and a guy who hasn't yet established himself psychologically as an independent grown man yet, who knows. But I'm convinced the kid can play, and I'd rather see him doing that in blue and gold than some other colors. I don't think anyone is going to get too bent on a contract holdout if it's resolved before the season starts, so it really depends on if he'd be a pro and go do the job, especially if it ends up a Ws match-and-no-trade situation, which seems more likely the only stay scenario at this point.

It's ironic that McCaw underestimates himself during games, but overestimates himself when it comes down to the paperworks. I also thought the same thing about Conor, he was so much better at striking than Khabib, but I called the fight for Khabib since I knew that Mcgregor would be too egotistical to actually play to his strengths. Keep it up Alc! Looking forward to your breakdown of tonights game.
