By Smokey Go To PostKerr actually let the players legit draw up plays?
On one hand Kerr ain't shit and barely does any coaching anyway, so this isn't that far of a reach.
On the other hand, giri they thought so low of you, they literally gave the clipboard to players and said "here"
By Smokey Go To PostWhen the west was injured, and against Lebron and Delly in 6? Yeah.Actually, his reasoning for letting them do it was very solid.
Just disrespectful
After 3 years of very deep play off runs, the players are sick of listening to his voice. As you can see with the malaise they've been in for the last month.
And the Suns are bad... what else is there to say?
Yeah, uhm, I don't see the controversy here. As DY pointed out, Pop's been letting players draw up plays for years now.
Literally, on a game-winner:

We comparing Kerr to GOAT Pop now?
Players sick of listening to him? Idk if that's a path he wanna go down but aight

By Smokey Go To PostWe comparing Kerr to GOAT Pop now?Pop is probably where he got it from. Also they got rings and run through Pringles squads free.
A substitute teacher took over for Kerr, won 20+ games in a row, and got one of the most high profile jobs out of it.
I'm sure he raises his voice in practice, but it's the most auto win team ever. I don't see how that's debatable.

Like dantoni didn't come out of halftime with a blank clipboard looking dejected as harden threw an elimination game 😂 I'm on mobile so I can't spam the pic like I want to
So irony makes it less true? Ok.
Kerr ain't shit. Y'all really going to bat for this guy?
I said earlier it wasn't that hard to improve on Jackson's heavy iso gameplan. That's what he did. Installed a motion offense. I give him credit for that. But now? He missed a whole bunch of time and his sub came in and reeled off 20 wins in a row lol. Come on.
Kerr ain't shit. Y'all really going to bat for this guy?
By Random Ass Username Go To PostSo why couldn't Mark Jackson get the W that Kerr did. I'm confused here.

By Random Ass Username Go To PostSo why couldn't Mark Jackson get the W that Kerr did. I'm confused here.If Kerr never came they chip regardless
By s y Go To PostIf Kerr never came they chip regardlessYeah okay lol.
Mark Jackson wasn't doing shit with that roster lol. He would've benched Draymond the moment David Lee was healthy again, and Curry would be asked to ISO the last six minutes by himself.
By Smokey Go To PostSo irony makes it less true? Ok.He's a really good coach. He gets a lot out of his players and recognizes when things aren't working. And, yeah, people get tired of hearing the same person instruct them on what to do day after day. So, he mixes it up. A lot of good coaches do similar.

By reilo Go To PostThe hell has Kerr done that's been publicly divisive? He's by all accounts a really good dude.He wasn't a particularly good GM in PHX, iirc.
By Kibner Go To PostHe wasn't a particularly good GM in PHX, iirc.He was a bad GM, but that doesn't make him a bad person.
By s y Go To PostIf Kerr never came they chip regardlessBy running ISOs for Harrison Barnes? Okay, coli
By DY_nasty Go To PostBy running ISOs for Harrison Barnes? Okay, coliDavid Lee, point-forward and elite defensive big under Mark Jackson.
By s y Go To PostIf Kerr never came they chip regardless
Kerr got a chip off a depleted Cavs squad, lost with a 73 win team, then won with the most stacked team and he's supposed to be Pop tier?
Moving them goalposts though.
I don't even think the point was he Pop tier. Just that it's not exactly without precedent.
Where is this butthurt coming from.

Kerr's GM tenure was hamstrung by Robert Sarver constantly telling him to cut costs and trade picks. The Shaq trade was awful, but he did manage to put together that last gasp of SSOL team in 2010 through some pretty shrewd moves (drafting RoLo, trading for Dudley/Richardson, signing Frye). He was okay, not terrible.
By Smokey Go To PostKerr got a chip off a depleted Cavs squad, lost with a 73 win team, then won with the most stacked team and he's supposed to be Pop tier?Delladova and LBJ literally took them to 6 games.
Kerr literally lost a 3-1 lead in the Finals with a 73 win team.
By reilo Go To PostWho said he was Popovich tier?
Y'all mentioning him and Pop in same sentence like they on equal ground or it's cool, because Pop, one of the top coaches in hoop history did it.
By Smokey Go To PostY'all mentioning him and Pop in same sentence like they on equal ground or it's cool, because Pop, one of the top coaches in hoop history did it.No one is saying that but you. People are just sharing that Kerr did a thing that Pop also does because you railed against Kerr doing it.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostSo many leaps and bounds. lol.there's always a 3 tier argument on slaent.
aint shit.
he's alright.
GOAT.
Also, Pop was one of only five coaches to lose to an 8th seed as the #1. He had his top players available and it was during a seven game series. So, yeah, shit happens in basketball like losing a 3-1 lead in the Finals with the only unanimous MVP.
By Smokey Go To PostY'all mentioning him and Pop in same sentence like they on equal ground or it's cool, because Pop, one of the top coaches in hoop history did it.Okay this is really a bizarre way of thinking: if a great coach can do it, only other coaches that we, by some arbitrary measure think are also great, are the only coaches that can do it, too?
To make it more succinct: you're saying that up and coming coaches (let's call them Brad Stevens), aren't allowed to mimic or do similar things that Popovich does, and instead they have to come up with only their very own unique coaching philosophies?
Using an analogy here, you're telling me I can never look at what code Sharp is writing to learn from him, because he's a much better software engineer than I am? Okay.

Kerr is the only coach to have ever lost a 3-1 lead in the Finals with a 73 Win team with only unanimous MVP ever.
Ever ever.

Admit another mans is better than you brehs
Yall going hard for Kerr like it takes some exceptional coaching talent to run the Warriors. It doesn't.
Also it's Black History Month and I'm salty
Sharp is a better software engineer and much smarter than me, that shit is factual lol. If I thought I was better than everyone I'd be a giant asshole that would never get better at what I deem myself to be good at. If you're not learning from others, then you're a narcissist and lack hubris.

So it's the fault of coaching when they lose but not when they win. Both waysssssssss, you two want it both ways.

You lose up 3-1? Uh YEAH?
Also nobody has yet to tell me how the great Steve kerr was able to step away and his sub comes in and wins 20+ in a row?
How. I wonder.
By that myopic/simpleton logic, does that mean that Tyrone Lue is a better coach than Kerr? Going a bit further, since Kerr beat D'Antoni in the playoffs, does that mean Kerr is forever a better coach than D'Antoni?
By Smokey Go To PostYou lose up 3-1? Uh YEAH?How many strawmen that is now? Enough for your own squad? Still, it might have better D.

So he could just chill rest of season and most likely "win" a chip. Wow. Great job if you can get it.
By reilo Go To PostPop let his players run timeouts in a Finals game.Pringles doesn't make the Finals, so we don't know what he'd do.
