When you have the most dangerous offensive weapon in history and the two best shooters in history, you don't need offensive role players, tbh.
Was that Curry launching a last second attempt to score even though they clearly won? I hate these disgusting arrogant s lol

A 2 wouldve got 2 ot and let me hit the 2nd half over. Also, i would have been able to get money back on gs. I was portland heavy. That ty play cost me a load.
I know, but it’s still amazing to not end up with even one Mills type contract. Or Beli. Their front office is just cut throat aces when it comes to being smart.
Never a Pau Gasol deal. Never a Mills deal. Never a Beli deal. If you can’t defend, you aren’t on the team. I think more teams could benefit from that versatility and need to stop valuing offense so much.
I get it. Easier to say with Curry/Klay/KD, but point still remains. , just dont sign 3-5 liabilities
The missed time argument is weak IMO..the system was already in place, the players already knew what to do, they didn't need coaching at that pointHis system is basically just not being Mark Jackson
Culture
Pretty good idea to let the players do what they want when you have the best player in the league, a top ten player in the league and a top 20 player in the league.
He's better than Mark Jackson, sure. But there are about 200 coaches who could win championships with the amount of talent on this team. When he has missed time, the Warriors haven't missed a beat. In fact, they've gotten better.
If he retired two years ago or tomorrow, there'd be no difference, tbh.
This is easy to say now, but nobody thought they were historically talented before Kerr arrived..the FACT is, they were an ordinary team that became the best of all-time with his presence..salute to him, you can bet that the media and fans would be eating Pop's ass every day if he had built this
Somehow Mark Jackson was able to coach them to a first round loss though.
Man I wanted the Lakers to hire him.
Death, Taxes, Warriors in the NBA Finals.
the same pos who tried to build his own version of small ball after avery johnson mavs exposed him? wasted 7 years of tdyou can bet that the media and fans would be eating Pop's ass every day if he had built this
then he tried to play cute bball by subbing td out of a elimination game last play to win the championship...lol overrated as
Kerr smokes weed
Proves he does have brains left
Anyone other then mark Jackson could have got a le before Kerr got there
They were not as good when Mark was there
Marks o was terrible
He got them playing d
Curry now can get 37 feet away
Not hard to do o for that
You look like one of them Crenshaw Mafia mother ers. I hate little niggers like you.Live scenes inside the Durant residence:
Give me players who play hard.
Like other teams in the playoffs don't play hard. reminds me of the poster my old college roommate had up on the wall:
Word on Jackson is that he lost the lockerroom since he was a bit of dictator himself. The talent of that team was evident when they were this || close to beating the Spurs in 2013, which presumably would've lead to a Finals appearance. It took a historic 4th quarter collapse and then Curry coming up gimpy for the Spurs to beat them. The next season, they pushed a hyped Clippers team to 7, narrowly losing a couple of games. The primary difference from the Jackson years into the Kerr years is one name: Draymond Green. David Lee was still considered a good player during Jackson's tenure, so he got the minutes over the younger and unproven Green. In hindsight, it was a mistake, as Lee was always something of an empty stat type player with low game impact. Then he got injured in Kerr's first season, allowing Green to emerge. Jackson's teams also had fat like Jarret Jack and Jefferson.The missed time argument is weak IMO..the system was already in place, the players already knew what to do, they didn't need coaching at that point

Was it Kerr's "genius" that recognized Draymond's potential or just cir stance? If those young Warriors without Draymond were pushing the Spurs and Clippers, it stands to reason that Jackson, with a devoted lockerroom and the same roster, probably has similar success. I'm skeptical about voodoo systems making much of a difference as long as the system isn't at odds with the analytics, and think the most important element in any basketball team (any sport, really) is talent. Great talent can excel in a variety of cir stances, and doesn't necessarily need the "right" system to succeed. I mean, the Spurs changed their offensive philosophy 3 or 4 times, and the big 3 always succeeded no matter.
They lost that series because Bogut was injured.Somehow Mark Jackson was able to coach them to a first round loss though.

That's all true, I don't disagree, NBA coaching is extremely overrated..but if we're judging by using the standards we've established, he deserves just as much credit as Popovich or Phil Jackson..
Don't forget that it wasn't long ago that most non-Spurs fans and media believed that Kawhi was a product of Pop
not really true. Look at Budenholzer this season. Took the Bucks to the ECF while Jason Kidd's team struggled to get out the first roundThat's all true, I don't disagree, NBA coaching is extremely overrated..but if we're judging by using the standards we've established, he deserves just as much credit as Popovich or Phil Jackson..

to do for his fake-ass legacy.
He's a great coach, but he's an example of why their impact is limited..his system with Al Horford leading it gets swept in the playoffs, while his team with Giannis can win the le..
Popovich hasn't gotten past the first round without Kawhi or Tim and probably never will
Jackson got tossed from GS because he is/was a blow-hard and hypocritical bible-thumper:
Minister Mark Jackson, ESPN Analyst: 'Christian Faith Is What I'm All About'
In 2011, the Golden State Warriors hired Jackson as head coach. He coached the team for three seasons, but was fired in 2014, despite leading the Warriors to consecutive playoff appearances for the first time in 20-plus years. Warriors' Joe Lacob blamed Jackson's poor relationship with the rest of the organization and his choice of assistant coaches as the main reasons for letting him go, reports SB Nation.
Jackson is married to singer and actress Desiree Coleman. As a licensed minister, he and his wife co-pastored True Love Worship Center International. However, in June 2012, Jackson revealed he had been the target of an extortion threat, which was based on an extramarital affair and nude photos taken in 2006. Jackson said he initially made payments of several thousands of dollars to a stripper and her accomplice to keep quiet about the affair and the photos, but when the alleged extortionists increased their demands, Jackson went to the FBI, and ultimately the alleged conspirators were named in felony criminal complaints.
"I recognize the extremely poor judgment that I used both in having an affair six years ago--including the embarrassing communication I exhibited during that time," said Jackson, "and in attempting to deal with the extortion scheme at first by myself."
this is like the 5th post mocking durbeta
i really missed something as i didnt bother to watch this game til about 4 minutes left in the 4th qtr
what did i miss?
(re: durant?)
They just swept their way to the Finals without him, and he's been in full meltdown mode on social media already ever since they went up 3-0 without him.
this may apply in elite compe ive situations like the NBA and ??? where there is no subs ute for innate talent or physical ability.Give me players who play hard.
Like other teams in the playoffs don't play hard. reminds me of the poster my old college roommate had up on the wall:
but for the other 99.99% the Coolidge quote still holds true IMO
Durant gunna be busy af all week on Twitter.
Unfortunately for the egos of head coaches, I think those standards will cease to exist soon, since the data (which of course you're familiar with) illustrates coaching doesn't have much of an impact on win total. The true "chess match" is in front offices trying to out roster build and out data each other. Sure, coaches can have big in game impacts with their rotation strategies, but that is also something that is informed by front office data. The infamous pulling Duncan in Game 6 is an example. Data showed Duncan was poor closing out on shooters, Miami was obviously going to shoot a three, so Pop made the statistically correct decision in subbing in Diaw. If Diaw were to block the shot, Pop looks like a genius. A funny bounce off the rim made him look like the fool, and fans hindsighted his decision to death, but what if he kept in Duncan and he failed to close out on a shooter?That's all true, I don't disagree, NBA coaching is extremely overrated..but if we're judging by using the standards we've established, he deserves just as much credit as Popovich or Phil Jackson..
Don't forget that it wasn't long ago that most non-Spurs fans and media believed that Kawhi was a product of Pop
Point is fans become results oriented and thinking a coach is imparting his ego on the game with his rotation choices, when in fact those choices are made long beforehand, and most likely informed by data collected by front offices. Boiled down, front offices are really the en ies that run teams now. As Cub would say, "you can pick any of these coaches out of a hat. It doesn't matter."
lol
i hope kawhi joins that somewhere next season
to watch them fail together
Already being obvious AF to many what a bandwaggoner he is, its now hitting even the MSM and Casual Phan.
Durbetta already flipped out (again) before tonight on his Twitter (or some Social Media) account, lashing out at a poster who questioned if the Warriors even needed him. By now sweeping the Blazers without his sorry ass it's becoming more and more obvious. The reason you saw 5+ posts is because when Portland was up 17 without a doubt Durbetta was literally celebrating. Then yet another Dubs 2nd half comeback -without him- and a sweep at that.
The pussy is halfway to NYC by now.
