I want to credit a Jonathan Kaminga thing because he did something, which I don't know. I'm not, I'm not at those games. I've been, I've been on the Knicks games, but I, I, I famously and proudly have no life at all. So I will watch every single game that is in existence. And I, There was a moment with Kuminga where I'm like, I put myself into Steve Kerr's shoes.

And I'm like, Steve Kerr must be so thrilled. There is a play where Kuminga's off the ball. They help off of him. He's on the left wing. And he just, he notices his defender turns away from him. The second he notices his defender turn his head. He cuts the lane. He ends up getting a dunk and a half court possession. And that's the kind of stuff.

That's the kind of stuff that the Warriors want to see out of him. Uh, that's, that's the kind of stuff that like, okay, you're going to play this complex offense with a lot of cutting and a lot of recognition, a lot of just, you have to be able to improv properly. I kind of on both ends because that's what, how Draymond sets up the defense too. And you have to be able to improv properly.

Like they're going to need that kind of stuff to the off ball movement of just like, we notice, okay, you're helping off of me. You're, you're packing the paint like crazy or you're locked in on Jimmy or whatever it is. I'm not just going to cut because I think people think, okay, you're open cut. There are so many times where, where players will say, we're, Oh, I'm open cut.

And Kaminga does this sometimes where it's like, all right, I'm open cut. And they cut right into the driving lane. And all of a sudden now the driving lane is somehow even more crowded than it was before. And what you want to do is you want to cut with pace and you want to cut with playing with speeds and you want to cut to the actual right spot. That was a really good play by Kuminga.

The Warriors are generally really good with that, but all that stuff is going to be so much more important because all those crazy cuts that we see in Warriors games all the time, so many of them happen. Because the defense is having a nervous breakdown about the fact that Stephen Curry just exists and is there.
