Yet we are still here waiting for Kanter to be able to pass out of a double team in his 4th year.

I like to think that's partly because Corbin never played him. Gobert deserved minutes last year and when ever he came into the game he did positive things.
And he breaks the defense, forcing everyone to rotate for his mistake, resulting in wide open 3.
Some things he can't really help. Green had one transition 3 as a trailer where he took a straightaway 3 from the top of the key. Enes was near and hand his hand up. Not much more you can do than that. You can't expect that sort of play. It's just that the entire GSW team was crazy hot and Green got in some of that action.
He still had a lot of defensive lapses though. too many. his offensive boarding looked ok though. that's his biggest asset.
Exum had a couple bad defensive lapses too that i saw, although I'm not sure they directly led to buckets.
If he has the ability (does not need to take many) then it opens up his offensive game (defenders have to guard him much further away from the basket) and others offensive game (floor spacing).
Cy, you just need to lower expectations for Kanter. I've found myself to be much more mellow (#mmm) after accepting the fact that he'll always suck at defense, and always be bad at passing.
Just chill, bro.
Had the Jazz been able to force the Warriors to play any halfcourt offense in the 2nd half, we probably would have seen them mercilessly pick apart Kanter. Instead, they got up in our grill, made us take ****ty shots, rebounded the basketball, and ran to the other end of the court for easy buckets.

I'll chill my weiner in your mouth.
Nah, that was Kanter.

The difference between Kareem and Gobert is that Gobert would have kicked Bruce Lee's ***
I would still place at least 50% of the blame on Kanter in those situations.
There was one play where Exum was on Curry and I was thinking he better not relax at all. I saw Exum straighten up a tiny bit and i thought 'oh crap'. half a second later, curry gets elevator doors, exum gets stuck behind the closing doors and curry nails the 3.
GSW is just so hard to play against. their passing just breaks down defences so hard.

There are 76 centers ranked by this DRPM stat ("Player's estimated on-court impact on team defensive performance, measured in points allowed per 100 defensive possessions") at ESPN:

Heh
The Warriors shot 71% when Kanter was in the game, 41% when he was on the bench
