How much can we attribute GSW's improvement to replacing Jackson with Kerr?

[fpliii]

:confusedshrug:

[Spaulding]

Too early for assessment.

[bigkingsfan]

Wait until Bogut goes down.

[navy]

Too early and lets face it Klay and Curry have been playing out of their minds. Curry might sustain it, Klay wont.

Kerr's certainly an upgrade and will do better than Jackson, AG is also a great addition to the coaching staff.

[outbreak]

Mark Jackson is a terrible coach

[Suguru101]

This is really interesting. Always wanted to see how much better a team could go from one season to the other by ditching a good coach for a very good/elite one.

Clippers with Del Negro to Rivers wasn't really that much of a change, though players developed better (Jordan/Blake).

I see Klay developing better than with Jackson, but that could have been the USA basketball.

Will keep a watch on them

[TheMarkMadsen]

Jackson never got to coach his team in the playoffs while healthy

Bogut & Lee were constantly hurt.

I don't care if PJax is the coach this team is built in a way that they absolutly need those 2 guys come playoff time if they hope to make the WCF/Finals/ win.

[I<3NBA]

100% GSW is basically the same team, just a different coach. But already the play and rotations are night and day. Whereas Jackson was just getting by purely on the talent of GSW players, Kerr is actually maximizing them. Same thing would happen to OKC if Brooks is replaced.

[chocolatethunder]

Wait until Bogut goes down.
Yes because Jackson was too much of a moron to get Bogut the ball ever. Now they are running plays through Bogut and it is paying off huge for them.

[Nash]

Interesting to see how whatever GSW do will change the perception of Mark Jackson.

If they do better: Mark Jackson was underachieving with a great team
If they do worse: Mark Jackson lead a bunch young, no defense individualists to great results.

That's titally true but it's also true that Jackson never got Bogut the ball when he was healthy. If you can't see the difference in their offense now as opposed to before then you're blind. I'm sure were going to get a million Mark Jackson apologists on here when this team just keeps killing everyone and people start saying Kerr is a good coach. And btw Lee is hurt now already.

Didn't Kerr bring in both Gentry (really good offensive mind) and Ron Adams (perhaps best defensive assistant in the entire league)? Kerr himself seems to be a good tactician too, so they have plenty of coaching talent.

I didn't expect to see Klay explode offensively out of the gate (some guys slump immediately after getting paid) or Curry playing better defense. If this team is healthy, they could go toe-to-toe with just about anybody out west.

Imagine he coached a team like the Thunder, think about that for a second :eek:

[chocolatethunder]

So here's how it's gonna go. If Kerr does poorly, it's his fault. If Kerr does well, it's because of his assistants. People are having a hard time saying Jackson was a poor coach because he's black and they are having a hard time saying Kerr is a good coach because he's white. That's what's really happening and no one wants to say it. I don't really give a shit who's coaching as long as they are good. It's too early to know if Kerr was a good hire but signs are pointing towards him being one.

If he does well, then he gets a ton of credit. I'm just saying he shouldn't get all the credit if he has guys like Gentry with him. They're both really good at X's and O's so it's impossible for just Kerr to take the credit while they're both with the Warriors.

Seriously, what is up with all the racists on ISH?

Here is a suggestion: if you don't like blacks, the NBA maybe not for you. Baseball will start up in a few months, maybe you should check it out.

In a world where just 25 years ago there were 10 states had laws prohibiting whites from marrying outside their race because they did not want to corrupt the "superior white race" you have morons like you complaining about Kerr being mistreated for being white.

Go to sleep idiot.

So we are going to just pretend like the OP didn't just go on a racist rant?

ISH: a breeding ground for racist morons, and those who pretend like they don't exist.

[KDthunderup]

I'm not sure if Kerr is good or Jackson was just that bad

Pretty sure if someone says that the only reason Nash got back to back MVPs or that Parsons got a max deal because he was white...the reaction would not be..."well it's not like he is hurting anyone..." and the reaction would not be to just pretend like the OP didn't just go on a anti-white rant.

ISH :facepalm

You're saying Steve Kerr is already an elite coach?

No, I'm calling it like I see it which is the truth. Just like a black quarterback almost never gets a fair shake and has to be described with qualifiers. It's old and tired hearing all that bullshit from white people when it comes to black quarterbacks. It makes them sound like fools. Or white basketball players being "savvy" and black guys being "athletic". Racism works both ways pal all the time. There was a racial undertone in the backlash to Jacksons firing. I don't care that Kerr is white, I'm describing what's happening, I'm not part of what's happening, there's a big difference. As I said before, I don't care who's coaching what as long as they're good. I think Mark Jackson is a moron, and it has nothing to do with being black. I don't think that he was a good coach and he's an awful commentator. I don't care what his coaching record was. I have no idea if Kerr is a good coach or not, it's too soon to tell. But it seems like there are a bunch of apologists saying that it's all Gentry (who I happen to think is a great coach) or things like that.


Maybe you should stop being so myopic that you can't understand what someone's talking about because you can only see things one way. I think you're probably really young and don't know what the fvck you're talking about. Yes bias can go both ways and if you don't think that people were crying about Kerr getting Jacksons job and the money that he got implying that he got it because he was white, then you're just stupid. Just like people bitched and moaned over Mike Vick and persecuting him to death for all that dog shit when white guys do shit all the time and instead get sympathy and get a pass for it. And for the record, I hate baseball.

[oh the horror]

Isn't it kind of early to tell given that one coach had a lot more time with this squad and one is about 7 or so games in?

Muhammed Ali was opposed to interacial marriage, and you probably jerk to him on the daily.
