Curry is like Magic. Lead by example.

Very few PGs are exception. Isiah best example and he was shunned by his peers.

PGs by nature are facilitators, bringing the team together.


I assume this is reference to the Green punch? Kerr is from Phil school. Managed it well to Dynasty. To all of a sudden act outraged would be cowardly. This was always their Green. Trade or keep running with him. Don't put on shocked face.

Steve Kerr used harsher language to condemn Stephen A for the callout than he used when speaking about Draymond Green violently sucker punching a teammate. He is an all time bitch.

I like Stephen A but he's just a journalist

Kerr should worry more about keeping his players in check than worrying what jackass tv personalities say. The fact that Draymond and the league have gotten to this point is a complete failure and an indictment on the Golden State front office, coaching staff, and yes, player leadership like Steph and Klay. They enabled Draymond for so long because part of the edge he played with helped them win rings. But he never got put in check by his team or teammates. Not even after the Poole punch. They still defended him. Catered to him. Shipped off Poole and signed him to the extension. Why on earth would he feel the need to change when they never checked him? He's felt entitled to continue to do his shit because they didn't tell him to chill out, thy kept defending him, and they even rewarded him financially with a new contract his performance no longer warranted. Kerr and Steph absolutely share some blame, probably the most blame.

not a good exemple


Kareem was the Captain, if someone was out of line he would tell him
Also, Riley didn’t mess around with discipline

Also, Kerr is not Phil

Phil had a toxic approach at times, but it worked because became he had a good grasp of his players’ personalities and how they would deal with certain situations.

Kerr doesn’t

And it won't change. He'll set out several games, do another Netflix special about his life and be back in the rotation with a "welcome back Draymond" night at the arena. At least the palace brawl was entertaining as fuck vs this flailing bullshit. Even Artest's elbow on Harden was a keeper. Green's shot just looked scripted and I have a hard time believing there wasn't some talk about hurting the guy. Same with the foot beneath Kawhi. Kerr is a piece of human shit.

Kerr inherited a contender that needed a tweak. He has no idea how to make further adjustments outside of getting superstar help.

Exactly. PGs aren't enforcers. Only Isiah was one.

Another recent leader comes to mind - Billups.

No, not over here. I do my best work at enforcement over on the Political section.

I lost my lust for this when James worshiped that fuck Minnesota Floyd...then pondered whether to take the last Lakers RING off the shelf for the taking because White was waitin' on it. He had to crawl out of there with it...then sent the Black bitches out the next 72 hours to call White out.

No more.

Potatoe Head and Luke Walton proved that anyone could coach the rigged ABC Disney WarriorRef Durbetta team.

All time bitch move imo was Kerr buring Potatoe out of being the coach of record.
When, with literally one game to go Kerr got off his sore back deathbed to sit on the sidelines as Head Coach and be the winning coach of Record that one playoffs and Finals.

^^^^

2017 the 1st year of Durbetta and the beta Warriors:

Mike Brown had coached 11 straight playoff wins after Kerr went out in Round 1 with back pains.
Warrioretts win Game 1 of the Finals, the rigged ending whereupon Lebron took a charge from Durbetta with like 50 seconds left to more or less seal the game.
Tweet! Camera review. For the 1st time in something like 2 years a charge was changed by the Review Krew to a blocking foul on Lebron by WarriorRef.
Changed the whole fucking game. Next JR Dumbshit held the ball as the shot clock ran out.

Anyways, my understanding is since Pototoe Head Brown had been coaching since Round 1, if he would have completed Game 2 of the Finals then he (Brown) would have been the Head Coach of record for the Chip.

Instead bitch ass Kerr incredibly *recovers* just in time to sit on the bench and watch ABC Disney do its work. Little Bitch was not about to let Mike Brown get credit.

Oh by the way Lebron was so pissed at the rigged call he broke his hand slammng something in the locker room. Regrettable? Oh hell yes. Understandable? 100% everyone with an iota of BBIQ and sports rigging knowledge knew what the hell had just taken place.

So ya, 50% Lebron for the remaining game.

Thanks, Mult. I recall a lot of it now...seems like 20 years ago though. Jesus, where does it go?

It appears that Andre Iguodala was the real coach of the Golden State Warriors.

I read Curry's 3Point streak snapped the other night. Still impressed they squeezed 1 more title outta this bunch... the Celtics trio still haunted

I actually respect them fading away together. Ultimately their run ended when they failed to develop draft picks. That last Title was bigly, when I think of the GSW; Durant doesn't cross my mind.
