Warriors: Will Kerr Do The Right Thing Or Is He Filled With Phil Jackson Ego and Pride

[Koolaid_Man]

Will he finally start coaching and making adjustments. Kobe said it best in his twitter....Cavs playing desperate and GS playing like they just came for the experience...All year long Kerr has been sitting back and watching a shooting expedition from his team...now he has real adversity.

This stretch I've seen before during the Memphis series when it looked like the Grizzles had figured them out. In this instance could David Lee be the answer to Golden States resurgence....ass ed up as this is going to sound...the Cavs dont have an answer for David Lee...

Kerr has a real opportunity to show us he knows how to coach and make the right adjustment....GS has no vocal leader and they need that right now....Drymouth Green looks like ...Harrison Barnes is MIA and Steph cant handle the adulation and praise..its gone to his head.....where is Stephs dad to motivate him through this....

Kerr hasnt really shown me anything.....he's walking up and down the sideline smiling and missing this opportunity...he better figure it out because theres no guarantee they'll be back next year especially ones teams figure out they're really soft...they're gonna around and be like OKC was in the finals. One and done....

Show me the value of a white coach Kerr....I know Marc Jackson is dancing in his hotel room at night...

Dont always read Kobe's stuff ...but his assessment is dead-on as is Kool's ...

Gstate looks like OKC a few years back. Steph is playing the Harden role. Sure he got hot late but the careless turnovers tentative play and ref whining was Harden in 2012. Kerr has let Lebron out coach him. Bogut has been nullified one of the top defenders and Lebron has relegated him to the bench with his play. Kerr and his staff better figure something out because Kool is right a return to teh Finals is far from promised.

Draymond for all the he talks and with his new Beats commercial has been trash. Probably cost himself some money ...but the owners are so dumb someone will max this nicca.

David Lee is ing trash, would be a terrible decision to suddenly play him over Festus.

Curry wasn't god awful like Harden was. Harden was the most ballsless (I know this isn't a word) mother er of that series. Unbearably awful to no end was Harden. It was his contribution off the bench that OKC was completely missing.

He hasnt been THAT bad ...but if you watch the games the turnovers are coming at bad times and misses like the 3 he missed after the Shumpert turnover are huge. Plus like Harden he came to the Finals off a hot WCF and the bed in the Finals so the comparison is still valid. Plus steph was the MVP not a 6th man ...Malone in the Finals also comes to mind ...

The refs are allowing more physicality in the series, and the Cavs are capitalizing on it. Losing Irving and Love allowed the Cavs to put in solid defenders, and really crash the boards. TBH, I couldn't see this coming, I didn't realize that the Cavs have the personnel to really shut down a perimeter offense the caliber of GSW.

And the GSW are killing themselves as well, not running out on the break and doing what they are best at doing. They seem hesitant on offense and unsure of themselves. Thompson and Iguodala are playing well, but they really need Green to step up and not let Lebron bully him to no end.

Not sure what is wrong with the defensive SF in the playoffs this year. First, Kawhi got owned by Matt Barnes, now Draymond Green (and Harrison Barnes) are getting absolutely neutered by Lebron James.

P.S. For all those who laughed at how the 80s and 90s defense of hard fouls isn't really defense, look at this series. The Cavs aren't even putting in hard fouls, simply playing more physical than the pretty boys are accustomed to, and they are shrinking like a violet in the hot desert sun.

some great points, Amb.

1. Yes the refs are allowing more physical play but then it should be on Green and Iggy to match that. Refs have been horrible on both sides. Cavs getting away with a lot of clutching of curry but Warriors also setting plenty of illegal screens.

2. Green has been putrid. Minimal impact on defense scared to shoot on offense.

3. Curry's turnovers have come at some of the worst times. And even though he made some great shots last night that missed open three off the Shumpert give away is unforgivable. He needs to bury that one.

4. Barnes (who i like )has folded. He has never been a catch and shoot guy and I think they use him poorly but he HAS to be better.

5. For all the things Lee brings on offense he gives back on defense. when Lebron gets a switch on Lee or if Lee is the last defender back James dismisses him on the way to a easy hoop.

6. Kerr has been outcoached by Lebron and nothing he has tried has worked. A lot i son the players but Kerr needs to do something. and some ref ing a la PJ shouldn't be beneath him either. As someone else mentioned I would also play the Pop "soft card" ...anything to shake this team up.

* What a golden chance to repeat the Spurs missed out on. Maybe with Lebron in @K mode it wouldn't matter but a locked in Spurs could possibly beat this GSW team. And the Cavs are beat up npoe Delly needs IV for cramps ...

You don't play him over Festus... you sit the other whiteboy. Lee is not afraid. Kerr needs to start calling more sets. When they run plays they get wide open shots. Iggy needs more minutes over Barnes, and Lee is ready to earn his pay.

The only SF capable of shutting down the Great Satan Lebron is Shawn Marion too bad dude is his teammate now.
