Seth Curry made the kind of debut that usually earns more minutes, not fewer, and NBA Fans immediately jumped on the odd coaching decision behind it.
Reporter @anthonyVslater posted the stat that sparked the firestorm: “Seth Curry has 14 bench points in his first 14 minutes with the Warriors. Made six of his seven shots, two 3s.”
From there, NBA Fans took over the conversation. @ZoSpicyDubs dropped the now-viral line, “Steve Kerr will pay for his crimes for only playing him 14 mins,” capturing the confusion across the fanbase.

Many NBA Fans wondered why a player shooting that well was suddenly glued to the bench right when Golden State needed more shot-making.
Another voice, @BlancazCarlos, offered a calmer explanation, saying, “he ain’t play in an nba game in a minute lol. cant run him through the floor first game.”
That point lined up with what some analysts echoed: Seth has been out of action for a while, and easing him in may have been part of the plan.
Still, that reasoning did little to stop NBA Fans from debating Kerr’s rotations, which have been a recurring storyline this season. Every time someone gets hot, the minutes come into question, and Seth just added another chapter to that discussion. His quick scoring showed how valuable he can be in limited time, and NBA Fans treated it as proof that Golden State might be leaving points on the table.
Seth’s debut wasn’t just a short run. It became the center of a larger NBA fan-driven conversation about how the Warriors manage their bench and how much patience they have left for a season full of mixed signals.
NBA Fans React As Warriors Fight Hard In Loss To OKC Amid Rotation Questions
NBA Fans had plenty to say after the Golden State Warriors fell 124-112 to the Oklahoma City Thunder on December 2nd, a result the team posted with the caption, “Fought to the final buzzer.” Even without Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler, the Warriors stayed competitive, and that alone fueled a wave of reactions from NBA Fans.
User @jinthirty summed up the bright side, writing, “Had them sweating without Steph and Jimmy I’ll take it.”

Many NBA Fans agreed that the effort was strong, especially considering who was missing. But the praise quickly shifted to frustration about how certain players were used.
The sharpest criticism came from @stephsyy_, who said, “i’m confused as to why pat spencer and podz get to dribble till the air goes out the ball and take crazy shots but JK the legit best 1v1 creator outside of steph and jimmy lol jk do it bench.”
NBA Fans echoed this point throughout the replies, saying the rotation choices feel out of rhythm compared to the talent on the roster.
The loss reopened the ongoing debate surrounding the Warriors’ direction. NBA Fans have been tracking how young players like Jonathan Kuminga fit into the system and why others get longer ropes even when they struggle. This game gave them more examples to point to, and the conversation grew quickly.
NBA Fans noted that competing with OKC while shorthanded showed promise, but it also highlighted how thin the margin is when rotation calls don’t line up with the players producing on the floor. Every close game seems to magnify the same questions, and NBA Fans continue pushing for more consistency as the Warriors search for stability.
