The rookies were in Sta Cruz

Precisely, and with the 2nd of back to back I think they could have been useful with GSW especially on defense … as the team started “slow” …

Kerr said in the postgame that (I’m paraphrasing) it’s ok to lose a couple games right now. “We didn’t have to win” vs PHX, that’s it’s the “body of work” that matters. And so with that I think the organization felt that having JK and Moody b2b in SCW instead of SCW-GSW b2b was more beneficial to the bigger picture. I’ll try to ask Kerr about that at the next practice, if I’m able (usually whether I can or not is logistical). Also speaking of logistics, maybe it was just better logistically to keep JK and Moody integrated with SCW for two days rather than back and forth, even though Santa Cruz is only a couple hours drive away.

Btw here is Kerr saying that. I have more to post from that game plus PHX too believe it or not (Klay update plus my road trip behind the scenes) but I won’t get to that until much later today and I’m trying to decompress during the Niners game (hopefully they don’t mess that up lol): https://youtu.be/Zg1N5m-uH7s

Thanks, disclaimer…I was at the game last night and was hoping to see the rookies… still would think long term to get them some NBA experience in games when it might be good to rest(fewer minutes) some of the big minutes players.
