klay didnt like the yelling approach. odd for someone who said Lebron's feelings just got hurt. We all know the truth now Klay

Kerr is an overrated coach.

That's the coach responsible for leading your greatest idol to three rings within five years.

He's overrated. The Warriors have had their best records with him out and Luke Walton and Mike Brown in.

He sat Curry in a game in round 1 versus the Clippers last year when Curry was going off and they were up 20 or so and put in the bench crew. The Clippers came back to win the game. That extended the series which later then saw Curry and Klay injured. That terrible decision of Kerr's may have cost the Warriors the championship.

Kerr is an overrated coach.

People forget how bad the offense looked before Steve Kerr got there. Mark Jackson was not a very innovative coach, Kerr brought in a free flowing offense where everyone on the court moved and passed. The difference between 2014 & 2015 are day and night.

Yet, it didn't stop them from sweeping the trailblazers in that year's wcf, despite losing kd in the round prior and some nagging injuries to other players. Therefore, entering the finals, they still had a 10-day rest, whereas the raptors only had half of that because it took more games just for them to get past through the first three rounds.

He always gets praised for that. Doesn't mean he isn't overrated.

Not getting injured is a bigger deal. Extra games in round 1 also meant less preparation time for the Rockets and also more usage for KD.

You know, i would have believed and comprehend the thing that you're trying to say here only if the warriors were taken to seven games by any of the two teams at least once but sadly, that isn't the case at all. They were able to push through, which was simply enough to avoid any of that. Not even harden nor cp3 could do anything about it.

Besides, they still managed to stave off both teams in exactly just six games, despite their injury-riddled lineup. Oh, and I thought not having kd wasn't a big deal for them at all after the wcf sweep? It only changed suddenly after finding themselves on a 3-1 deficit in the finals that put them in the brink of elimination? Really?

Warriors broke down in the finals. Less wear and tear would have helped. Extra games and injury could have been avoided if the Clippers were dispatched quicker which was very possible since they were up 20 in a game they eventually lost because Kerr substituted the garbage time crew too early. Is there anything here to dispute?

You seem to be having a conversation with someone else regarding KD. Figure out who that is and talk to them.

Your point of view lmao. You don't have to act like the warriors should be winning every championship in their finals runs. That's just plain desperate.

Regardless, i still see the first three round playoff run of theirs in 2019 more impressive than the year prior to it, simply because it only took them 16 games to appear in their 5th straight finals without any game 7s at all and like i said, they did so with a hampered lineup.

Also, as for your last statement, it is your fave team's bandwagon fans who used to chant 'no kd, no problem' after sweeping the trailblazers in the wcf, not anyone else. Are we clear here?

I have no idea who was really saying that. Just as likely it was haters who were trolling. I prefer for other people to state their positions and then respond to them rather than putting stuff in their mouths. But maybe that's just me.

You can't be serious about that. It's so common around the net, especially in social media. The very same fans who started to root for the warriors since 2015.

Klay has always been like that. His first year on the Warriors he would never speak to anyone.

Mark Jackson would spread rumors within the clubhouse and told the team Harrison Barnes was playing poorly because he was “possessed by a demon”. He’s insane.

I used to see Mark Jackson out here all the time.

Good lord, kid. :oldlol:

The Warriors lost a title because of one game in the first round? Idiot. :roll:

Do you know what overrated means?

He changed the Warriors offense & culture, thats what he gets praised for and he did that.

Its not like he gets called a GOAT coach.

What did Kerr change in the Warriors culture?

What did Kerr change in the Warriors culture?
A big, mysterious question coming from someone who only started watching basketball since 2k15.

[red1]

getting bitched at by steve kerr and getting rattled - klay had to learn firsthand that this is a man's game. :oldlol:



kerr is a real sweetheart went easy on that little boy. :D

[Mauzah]

I wonder how much longer we will have to put up with Mark Jackson as a color commentator. I'm almost certain there's no coaching jobs on his horizon.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Yelled at huh?

So how was Mark Jackson? Don't know the man but he doesn't sound soft spoken either.
