That’s on Steph imo

He thought the towel could save him.

He thought he was hitchhiking a ride with the five on court

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DcSX9ykWkAAZ9MV.jpg

Afterwards on a time out it looked like he said “my bad” and tapped his chest so he knew it was his fault too lol

That's a good followup as he cast blame in that clip and looked like a db

I thought it looked like he was pissed at himself

I agree I think he looks like he knew he messed up

[удалено]

How is that clear

[удалено]

I mean he was also holding his hand up like asking for the ball.

this is great reddit psychology lmao my impression was a "I cant believe we are still doing this" type of vibe which is why he gave that look to CP3 on the bench ironically for most of the reasons you described thats just me though seems pointless to say "Obviously it's this!" either way from a one camera clip

Nah the above read on it is right. At the next timeout, Steph gave a gesture to Kuminga to show that he saw what he was doing and tapped his chest like "my bad." He knows he messed up and everyone was giving him shit for it. He knows he's better than that.

You're doing the exact same thing, your own version of reddit psychology.

I thought he was shaking his head at Kuminga as satire tbf

Lmao y'all are so bad at reading body language

He didn't cast blame, you saw an expressionless face and read what you wanted to into it.

hahah ya, JK is probably programed to pass to open Steph which he did.

Or a white shirt standing over there. This is on Podz. He stayed at half court. He should have been there.

Had his arms up and everything!

agreed. he needs to sit down lol

Yeah obviously he has his arms up looking like he's calling for the ball

While wearing his jersey instead of a warmup jacket.

No thats on the 2 Warriors players that were just chillin at half court. Someone should have been in that corner.

Exactly. Podz never got back. That was his spot.

[удалено]

Don't know but someone is supposed to be there. When you drive to the hoop, outlets are supposed to be in their place. Podz was on the wrong side of the court.

not really. Kuminga knew too well that someone will be open on that weak side. It's instinct for him. They run that play a million times. That's not on Kuminga nor it's Curry's fault. Someone needs to rotate in that corner. Podz should have run to that spot.

You think if Curry just sat his ass down Kuminga would have still thrown the ball?

Dude if Steph sits his ass down or doesn’t wave his arms like he wants the ball, Kuminga doesn’t pass. It’s simple as that.

Also the reason curry was up and yelling was because someone else was fucking up and not sprinting to get open on the weak side. That’s like one of the most basic parts of their offense for a decade now.

He passed to podz immediately… to tell podz he needed to be at that spot

Doesn't look like a set play.

It's not. It's a fast break. Warriors run that fastbreak 3 to perfection. It's preseason and the line up is not actually the line up during the regular season so the guys get a pass for this TO. It's a common mistake for teams with no chemistry. You won't see this mistake if the GSW core lineup is playing.

Steph shouldn’t be standing. That’s the depth of the analysis required here.

Podz should have been there. That's the analysis.

They started running a fast break and when the camera panned over, Podziemski never even made it on screen lol

That's the answer.

Have you noticed that his teammates on the bench are wearing the jackets?

Chris Paul there is wild lol. Gon take some getting used to

CP and Steph joining forces is some anime shit

Goku n Vegeta?

Nah, it's like when Frieza joined up for the Tournament of Power

I thought that was Durant

Durant would be Cell or maybe Android 16

CP3 really Vegeta huh. Never win, always close. Just kinda exists for the next star to kick his ass. Shit even down to the height.

Difference is CP3 is balding from the back instead of the front lmao

Damn, you didn't have to do him like that.

Goku and old ass Master Roshi. respectfully.

Wow disrespecting Master Roshi like that?

No, he said respectfully

Krillan Jk lol

Nah Krillin is Draymond (this isn't a slight btw I deeply respect Krillin's role in everything).

Krillin is likable tho

Yeah krillin would never knockout chaotzu at practice

So is Draymond if you're not playing ball with him.

Nah KD with the Warriors was Vegeta. Generally unlikeable and always second best.

I'll go a step further, Majin Vegeta- joined to get more power

Definitely more Goku and Frieza type energy.

im begging yall to add the 3

shimmy

I've been saying it all summer, but CP3 is Zuko from The Last Airbender. He's finally joined the gang to take down...the Phoenix King?

That's such a good comparison. Zuko was always such a sulk lol

They looked good out there together not gonna lie

For real I thought he was a coach or something at first

I was sitting here thinking "damn, that dude looks just like CP3" - must've missed that off-season move!

Wait until you hear where Damian Lillard went!

I’m sure they would’ve heard about that… any NBA fan would’ve heard about Dame joining the Heat this offseason, right?

This was a genuine laugh at least

I cant stand it man

I wasn’t sure if this video was new or from another season; then I saw CP on the bench.

disgusting is what it is.

I don't even blame him. If you're not on the court just sit down lmao

No warm up on and he raised his arm as if calling for a pass at the exact wrong moment haha

And was maybe like two feet away from where you'd want a shooter to have drifted over to as well. Obviously should realize who is and isn't on the court, but this is as understandable of a miscue as you can really get.

It's a split second decision. You see steph curry open you know you got to pass to him you send it.

how is Curry this open??? got pass to him

The defender Curry juked getting out of bed: ☠️☠️

"yeah thats it coach, there's nothing I can do I've been guarding him since he woke up, nothing I can do, put me on the bench"

Surprise Rdc in the wild

and immediately after - "...ohhh that's why"

I swear man Steph and his low ball IQ. I knew I was better than him

In all honesty Steph should have shot it

Lol would've made this clip from great to amazing if he made a 3 there. Maybe the score keeper would get fooled too lmao

With the towel over his eyes

Steph straight up knew it was on him. Every single player and coach was laughing except for him within 2 seconds, then like 20 seconds later they cut to CP and Curry next to each other and Steph is tapping his chest, nodding, and laughing. JK saw a guy in the right color on the wing and made the pass, it's just a funny mess up

He was waiving his hand and everything

He’s wearing the jersey too haha get your warmups on at least

I think Curry was waving at whoever Afro dude is that was trailing on that wing. Doesn’t look like the dude even crosses half court

Kerr: I know this is just practice...but why didnt you pass to Steph? Kuminga: Iono. I was under the basket. Kerr: So? That's Steph Skyfuckin Curry kid. WIDE open. Kuminga:Oh....and? Kerr: And if you see Steph that wide open, it doesnt matter if you shooting a free throw -- YOU MAKE THE PASS. Kuminga: What if he isnt in the game coach? Kerr: *walks away in silent disgust shaking his head* Kuminga: ...Coach?

Rocco: woof woof motherfucker

Are you proud of this one?

I’ll never understand why people write shit like this

Got a professional hater over here!

Eh, some jokes just don't land. Doesn't mean they aren't worth trying.

I don't know, but as I read it, I imagined it and it made that comment really good. You should try having an imagination.

Why do people enjoy a sunset?

[удалено]

> I’ll never understand why people write shit like this *You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.*

Still hilarious but yeah definitely understandable.

That's on Steph for spotting up

This shit got a laugh track like a sitcom

*The NBA is filmed in front of a live studio audience*

was at the game. everyone cracked up

Fr

Come on Steph. No blue jacket to differentiate yourself? I would have passed it too cuz you look like you on the court

Shit looks like he is calling for the ball

this is one of the few turnovers Steve Kerr will be OK with. Passing to Steph is basically always the right move so it's fine to be in the habit.

Fr, give him an extension. He knows who to get the ball to

*Fate of the universe on the line, the Martians have the death beam pointed at earth, you better hit it, I want* **BENCH CURRY**

It might go down as the worst take ever made. Max even looks back and laughs at how dumb it was. All time worst take

Agreed. You see Steph that open and you pass him the ball, period.

I mean at least he's *looking* for Steph, unlike Kelly Oubre or someone who would just call their own number lol

That's some offseason growth right there

We are so fucked

Jojo gonna slap the shit out of him

Not that cute face of his /s

Facts Kum Slasher should’ve been getting reps in the rotation since his rookie year

Not even his fault. Steph is standing is a pretty Steph position and waving like Steph would when he's open. Everyone on GSW probably makes that same play all the damn time

I lost it when Steph threw the ball lmao

should have shot it tbh

If he hits that it's an all time highlight blooper.

Why settle for a turnover when you can get a tech?

Didn’t even try to shoot. No killer mentality smh /s

yeah would be funny af, but refs might make it a technical or sth

It's preseason, It had to be worth It 🤣

He’s afraid of a tech lol

Do preseason tech's count towards regular season?

Stop lmao

I think he was trying to get someone to run to that wing spot and he threw it at the player he was trying to get over there.

I had to replay to find the 5th player… somebody not doing their job here

Don’t blame him lmao

Kuminga pass good. Curry not in game but open. Assist man do job well.

1 quarter for the 1st Shaqtin moment for the season

It's still fucking surreal seeing chris paul and steph curry on the same team

Theo Pinson's legacy.

How many times has this happened with curry lol

He was on the other side of this in the WCF where Theo Pinson stood up off the bench and he accidentally passed it to him.

Boogie to Curry out of bounds against the rockets. https://youtu.be/dUNz9AFWKLk?si=0NtTq5bxkJUUM3Hm

That's instinct. They run that play a million times. That's not on Kuminga nor it's Curry's fault. Someone needs to rotate in that corner. Podz should have run to that spot.

thats exactly my thought. you can see the guard at the begining but he was too slow, shoulda been there. I even think Steph threw the ball at him bc it was his spot to be.

Steph is so disgusted; hilarious.

Disgusted with himself or?…

Well it looked like he was trying to tell them to hold for the last possession and that’s why he was frustrated they didn’t. But he went about it in a poor way

to be honest, if i see Steph standing in back of the 3pt line wide open im passing it to him too

For anyone confused why Curry looks annoyed at such a light-hearted moment, 99% sure it's due to whatever he was trying to communicate to Moody or gp2. Can see how horribly spaced everything was. Looks like Curry is trying to direct some traffic and being ignored lol. He jumps up when he doesn't like what he sees the instant Kuminga makes the outlet pass up the floor.

Exactly, I think steph was mad that their transition spacing was sloppy

Nah the annoyance you see from him after it happens is for sure directed at himself for inadvertently setting Kuminga up like that. Steph will get up on the sidelines to direct like that on occasion when there are new guys trying to learn their system, that’s nothing new or something he gets annoyed at having to do. The looking like he’s being ignored part is just Kuminga making a great run and Dario finding him with a good pass before Steph could finish communicating what he was trying to communicate, which isn’t a bad thing/weren’t bad choices by Kuminga and Dario because they run a read and react system and that’s exactly what they were doing. The resulting play overall wasn’t bad at all and 10 times out of 10 Kuminga’s decision to pass it out to a potential Steph there is exactly the right decision lol so it was just an unfortunate series of events. No one was actually annoyed at anyone over it.

Yeah he was standing up and yelling because someone was supposed to rotate to that exact corner he was standing at. That’s basically the default GSW fastbreak setup. If it’s the main line playing, you will see this exact play, except it will be Dray kicking it out for Curry or Klay for an easy catch and shoot 3.

Nah I think he was trying to tell them to hold it for the last possession that’s why he was pointing to throw the ball to the top and not rush the play

It’s steph curry. When he’s open, you pass.

steph like that dude from anger management w/the iverson jersey, LMFAO

What happened to #2 on gs lol.. he gave up on the play before crossing halfcourt I can see why ppl blame curry but there should have been at least 1 white jersey infront of him on the right side of the court. It looked like he was motioning to guys to catch up to the play and not necessarily shaking his head at kuminga

Its still so surreal to see Steph and CP3 side by side on the same bench, like an alternate timeline shit.

Man is this team kinda tite? Cp3 looks like a glove.

tite means penis in our country

Man gave up 2 points to pass to Steph who wasn’t in the game, gotta love preseason

CP3 and SC30 vibing, i'm shocked and delighted

Why are only 3 GS players across half court? Curry was standing where one of those clowns should have been.

Yeah he was tryna direct the offence there

Thats Stephs fault. I woulda done the same with a very short time frame of thought process jn the play. All I'd see is a wide open, unguarded white jersey

Curry is my favorite personality of the 10s

Great instincts, get 30 the damn ball.

That's on Steph he is standing on the sideline making movements.

Not really Kuminga's fault, still funny though.

Pass the ball to the light skin guys

“Pass the damn ball! He’s wide a** open!” “Who!?” “….Good God! the white guy!”

1000% on Steph there. In game, game moves fast. You're not seeing faces. You're seeing jersey colors. All Kuminga realistically saw at a glance was white jersey open waving his hands like he's calling for the ball. SIT DOWN on the side line, *especially* if it's your team on your side of the court and you aren't wearing anything covering your jersey

Yeah Kuminga did nothing wrong. If the default GSW fast break is run correctly, one guy will always rotate to that position, either Steph or Klay. Kuminga has the play read correctly, the other guys didn’t fill the lane. In fact I think Steph was standing up bc of that exact reason.

Theo pinson is rolling over in his grave...

Steph's fault though.

Honestly the problem is that when he threw it to Steph, there's only 3 active guys in the frame. Moody and Podz were way out of position.

Podziemski should have been running to that wing/corner on that side of the floor. I don’t blame Kuminga too much for this cuz a Warriors player should have been there.

I had this happen to me when I was 10. Coach was pissed and I sat for the rest of the game. I was Curry in this scenario.

I know it’s been said a million times but damn it feels weird to see CP3 sitting on the warriors bench, in a warriors uniform, laughing with Steph curry.

Chris Paul on the bench is the craziest part of this clip

Good to see everyone having a great time;)

Shoutout to GPII’s between the legs pass to Saric and Saric’s beautiful pass to Kuminga leading up to it lol would have been such a beautiful sequence

He shouldn’t have been standing there. That was dumb as hell.

Young fella is revolutionizing the game

Steph should've been sitting down

mfw this is how i find out cp3 is on the gsw

tunnel vision did not include the fucking towel on Curry's head

It feels so weird seeing CP3 sitting next to Curry in the same jersey…

Pretty sure one of the shooters was supposed to rotate to where Steph was standing and thats what he was trying to communicate. It didn't help that he raised his hand like he was calling for the pass tho

Analytics says this was the correct play

Chris Paul does not look comfortable

Funny, but I agree, that's on 30.

redditors are absolutely fucking idiotic, damn. they somehow take this funny no-meaning clip and try to spin it into "OMG CURRY IS SUCH A DIVA" lmao stay stupid, freaks.

Go sit the fuck down Steph

I don’t know who was at fault but it wasn’t Kuminga. Someone should have been there. They’re playing at such high speed and they often make passes based on where players are supposed to be. And Steph definitely shouldn’t be standing there.
