Steve Kerr Calls Out Brandin Podziemski After Warriors’ Tough Loss To Nuggets

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr didn’t hold back in his post-game press conference following the team’s 119-115 loss to the Denver Nuggets.

Kerr specifically called out Brandin Podziemski for his decision-making during the game, emphasizing the need for the young guard to be smarter on the court.

Kerr pointed out a specific play in the late second quarter when the Warriors were up by 12 points. Podziemski attempted a lob pass that Kerr described as “frankly insane,” leading to an easy basket for the Nuggets. Kerr also referenced a similar mistake Podziemski made in a previous game against the Brooklyn Nets.

In addition to the poor decision-making, Kerr criticized Podziemski for fouling Denver forward Michael Porter Jr. twice on 3-point attempts. 

“It’s a 5-on-4. You just keep hitting singles, throw the ball to the open guy. He had the same play last week against Brooklyn where he tried to throw a lob over his shoulder. He cannot be that guy. And he can’t foul jump shooters.”

Despite his frustration, Kerr made it clear that he believes in Podziemski’s potential and future with the team.

“He’s got a hell of a future ahead of him but I hope he watches this clip right now of me talking, because he needs to hear it. He’s got to be a smart, tough, great decision-maker, and he’s very capable of it. But that’s his next step.”

Kerr’s candid feedback highlights the high expectations the Warriors have for Podziemski and the importance of making smart decisions on the court. As the young guard continues to develop, his ability to heed Kerr’s advice and improve his decision-making will be crucial for his future success with the team.
