he just had a better game than kirby ever had.
So, eeehhhmmm... isn't it too bad that Green does not fit?
My ass. You came over to my side a few pages back. Don't make me show you.
Do it
I have enough stalkers already. I am immensely popular.
I'm just immense. lol draymond green will never fit...ever... I'm with you fatass.. err... I mean DMC.
Ok, but can you enlighten us again why heÄs a bad fit? Without moving the goal posts or can you man up to your mistake?
Hit and run gots like you don't get any explanations. When you provide something for the community maybe you can approach the well of knowledge and not be turned away. There are some real gems in this thread, things it took SI and ESPN a year to realize and put pen to paper about, yet gots like you who only stat/player watch want explanations. lol
Check your PM, fam
You mean where you asked me my favorite color?
Ya, I'm making you a graphic design project.
1st page of thread:
From SI Feb 2015
"As a point guard for 18 years in the league, Jackson had catered to stars, setting up players like Patrick Ewing and Reggie Miller. Now, as a coach, he did the same. He encouraged Curry to run endless pick-and-rolls and go one-on-one. The rest of the team? Much of the time their job was to set screens for Steph. Or feed Steph. Or guard the opposing point guard while Jackson hid Curry on a weaker offensive player. The strategy worked in at least one important respect: Curry got better. He was allowed to make mistakes. His confidence grew. He became an All-Star."
"A talented 22-year-old forward, Barnes was coming off a miserable season. As the leader of the second unit, he was expected to score, and often out of isolation sets. It hadn’t worked. “The best players in the league shoot only 20%, 30% or so on iso plays,” Kerr said when they met, at the Four Seasons in Miami. “Any idea how well you shot?”Barnes grimaced. “Probably way lower than that?” he ventured.
Kerr nodded. “I don’t think you were used last year in a way that was best for you. But if you buy into what we’re saying, you have a chance to be successful.”
Last season, the Warriors offense was often stagnant, and it frustrated Jerry West in particular. He couldn’t understand how a team blessed with shooters like Curry and Thompson, and passers like Bogut and Lee, could be last in the NBA in passes per possession.
That was Jackson’s preferred style of play, though, which resembled classic NBA basketball from the 80s and 90s – isolation and pick and roll.
Kerr’s approach has been a stark contrast.
Many first-time head coaches begin their career by mimicking a mentor. Think of Erik Spoelstra in Miami or Budenholzer in San Antonio. But Kerr has the advantage not only of multiple Hall of Fame mentors but also a respected offensive sidekick in Gentry, whom he hired last June. Together, they created what Gentry calls a “melting pot” system on offense.
Watch Warriors games and you’ll see the high-post action of Phil Jackson’s triangle offense, the drag screens and sideline tilts favored by Mike D’Antoni’s Suns (where Kerr served as GM from 2007-08 to '09-10), the low post splits from the old Jerry Sloan Utah handbook, and, most prominently, the motion offense and loop series of Popovich’s late-generation Spurs.
The result is a system in which the only sin is standing still. “Ball movement and people movement,” is how Gentry describes it. The bigs use dribble hand-offs, the shooters curve and cut in a continual churn and everyone, eventually, gets to touch the ball. To Kerr, who had the advantage of watching the Warriors up close as a broadcaster, this was the best way to utilize a roster stocked with bigs who are better-suited to passing than diving to the rim (in particular, Kerr calls Bogut “a witch with the ball.”)

You called him an overrated chucker. He proved to be none of that. Now shut the up for ever.
He was an overrated chucker when I called him that, you stupid immigrant.
no, no. you were still calling him a chucker well into the 2nd half of last season and predicted they'd lose in the 2nd round
No you're lying. I did predict a 2nd round exit but I stated his game had changed. Why do you persist with paraphrasing when the quotes can be had in this thread?
This was at the beginning of January, not even 2nd half.
This is your M.O. Philo. You paraphrase to build a strawman and never return to it when called out on it.
lol Philo. I've owned so many people in this thread, and nary a one of you know about basketball. Philo, you admitted on the 1st go-round that you didn't watch the game. You didn't even know Curry had that gy celebration (which I've not seen in a while tbh).
not much to paraphrase. your comment was 2 words long
and i like how you posted a quote of yours saying "back it up with a quote" when i did just that a couple of posts later down that page

Trying to sidestep your failed strawman attempt?not much to paraphrase. your comment was 2 words long
Since you're editing your post after being called out yet again: I'll always challenge you to provide the quote instead of paraphrasing. It's intellectually lazy to paraphrase when quotes are readily available.
You know I've built my case well, and I can show you from my statements and from the sequence of events with the Warriors that I was right on the money. I saw it before any of you saw it and yet you're still running around with the "right now" mindset as if 2+ years ago is the same as right now.
