I hate him, but would think Mike D'Antoni might be fun with Curry around.

I hate him, but would think Mike D'Antoni might be fun with Curry around.
Had to be office politics. The Warriors improved every year under Mark Jackson.
Heh...maybe he'll get back in the booth. I miss his silly "Jacksonisms". :lol

Look for D Antoni or a former spur assistant to take the job ( Avery Johnson , PJ Carlisimo , or Vinny Del Negro )
Maybe we can get a player from them like David Lee this off season
Any team with Bogut has a built in excuse for losing. Jackson wasn't a great coach, but I thought the results were pretty good considering what he had to work with. I could see how he could rub an owner the wrong way. He's a loudmouth from new york.
:lmao Well played!Quote:

What I really hate is that Mark Jackson will be back in the booth next year talking into a microphone. I'd rather listen to Gilbert Gottfried.
We already essentially have that in Hubie Brown.Quote:

He pretty much coached like he broadcasted. From the way he broadcasted you could tell x and o's weren't his strength. He would be more of a motivator.
This being said going on anti-gay sermons when coaching a franchise that has its eyes on relocating to San Francisco and when key members of the FO are openly gay might not be the best move ever. Jackson should learn to separate his private and professional lives better.Quote:

Next I'll read on here how the Pop haters will want him to replace Pop!
What a joke that would be.
:lol
Because when they needed to score and get smart baskets at the end of game 7, Jackson had Andre Iguodala, one of the dumbest fucking players in the league, running point instead of Stef Curry. That's kind of a fireable offense, but I'm sure that's not why it happened. He was going to get shitcanned even if they lost in the west finals.
Apparently, winning does not matter in the West.
Karl won 57 games last year, was COY, and was fired.
Hollins won 56 games, and was fired
Jackson 51 wins, and is history
Looking at wins is one thing, but look at the talent. There are several coaches that could have led that talent to 50 wins IMO. He is very replaceable and on top of that he annoys owners - it's not a good receipe. That's not to say he is an awful coach, he's just nothing special.
That might be because nobody gives a shit about how many wins a coach gets in the regular season, but how far he advances in the playoffs. Not every franchise is like Denver, happy to be handed 1st round exits after 1st round exits...Quote:

He appeared to be a very good motivtor.
Took the Clippers to a game 7.
Gave the Spurs lots of problems last year.
Both the Clippers and last year Spurs were of course just better teams.
Owners probably has other expectations.
However, I think the best explanation is that this team should be passing more given the kind of talent it has.
