kuminga didnt get much tick because he played like doo doo when kerr put him in earlier in the series...even in a win. he is a good on the ball defender but doesnt do anything else well. hes a horrible rebounder, horrible screener, subpar help defender, bad decision maker with the ball, and an ok cutter to the rim every now and then. its just hard for kerr to trust him with a lot of time in such high stakes games.

its pretty amazing steph still continues to win while having to babysit these immature/erratic young players who he cant even count on to merely not be self destructive from game to game.

imagine having to win a 7 series dogfight with poole throwing childish temper tantrums and tripping on his own feet...and kuminga sulking about playing time...with both of them being putrid in the minutes they play but still thinking theyre entitled to star treatment.
