The Warriors started their series against the Rockets with a great victory thanks to a huge Stephen Curry. But a decision by Steve Kerr was quick to make controversy, creating the anger of the supporters.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With an impressive Stephen Curry with 31 points, the Warriors started their series against the Rockets with a victory, 95-85. It was not easy, but Steve Kerr's men did the job. Houston quickly showed important shortcomings in attack, proof that we may have to recruit this summer.<\/p>\n

The evening remains beautiful for Golden State, who could make the break before going home for the rest of this series. But like Lakers\/Wolves this Saturday evening, nothing has yet been done at this stage. It must be said that Kerr made a very controversial choice in this part, with the bench of Jonathan Kuminga.<\/p>\n

Inevitable departure among the warriors<\/h2>\n

Important at the start of the season, Kuminga continues to be snubbed by the staff. He had not played the last regular season game against the Clippers (in order to qualify directly for the playoffs), and Kerr still does not count on him today. He did not play a single minute against Houston this Sunday evening.<\/p>\n

After the Warriors' victory, Steve Kerr Cash over Jimmy Butler: “Not in our DNA”\n\t<\/p><\/div>\n

No injury if ever or other, but a simple decision of the coach. However, he could have minutes in the future:<\/p>\n

\n

Anthony Slater<\/strong> : “Jonathan Kuminga will not play in this Game 1 against the Rockets and is not part of the rotation at the moment. It is considered a possible adjustment for a match or the rest of the series. \u00bb\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Kuminga is therefore considered a simple rescue plan at present. This is how to break the relationship between the player and the franchise, especially since he will be a free agent this summer and could sign for another organization.<\/p>\n

So on social networks, we can tell you that many want to Kerr and the rest of the staff. Dubs could still lose a player without anything in return.<\/p>\n

\n

@LosSoWavyy<\/strong> : “It's totally stupid. I understand why Kerr does this, but it's a problem especially in this series. \u00bb\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

@C_reilly5<\/strong> : “He's their 5th best player. \u00bb\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

@ITY<\/strong> : “Kuminga deserves better than all that. Steve Kerr ruined his career since he was with the Warriors. \u00bb\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Still snubbed by the Warriors, Jonathan Kuminga is clearly not considered an important player. And with its status as a free agent, it is difficult to imagine it continuing a little longer in Golden State.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n
