"This next round is going to show how far we've come mentally. There's going to be some more tests. But the makeup of this team, the veteran leadership – when we face adversity, we'll be able to push through it and continue to do the things we do well," said Terry
By KingGondo Go To PostHindsight, I know… But reading this now… Lawd.How were they to know that Austin Rivers was going to pull a Magikarp and evolve?

By CRUD Go To PostI'll leave now and go find out what I missed about Mark Jackson. Thought he was an ok dude.He's a Grade-A bigot.
When playing Blake Griffin, it's important to show him as many different looks as possible. The Rockets can throw Terrence Jones, Josh Smith, Trevor Ariza, and even Howard or Capela for short stretches. That's a whole lot of bodies and a whole lot of fouls, which is also helpful if McHale decides to "Hack-a-big."

Their bench could/are beating our "starters" I cringe at that article.
By CRUD Go To PostI said nothing about Golden State… LOL I don't like how he had to cover their games though it probally was not a good feeling for him. I don't know anything about the slurs. No clue about any of that sorry, I was never told about that stuff if true. Jesus are we all supposed to know everything fuck.
Yeah I try to avoid all the drama.
At the end of the day your fav player/celeb is probably a massive dick.
By AlphaSnacks Go To PostWhat? Calling his players faggots and homos…and you're upset at how GS treated him? Are you a fucking moron?wait wtf? link?
By K@do Go To Postyou know what else a lateral move?What's done is done. Was shocked it happened.
a contract extension.
Like I said, McHale is a yes man.
By CRUD Go To PostI'll leave now and go find out what I missed about Mark Jackson. Thought he was an ok dude.I'm not even saying what the fuck because of his off the court stuff.
He's a terrible coach. Look at what Kerr did with essentially the same team.
By Omega Go To PostYeah I try to avoid all the drama.

I read that as probably has a massive dick. I should not have just watched the vacation movie trailer lol I need sleep.
By RBK Go To PostWhat's done is done. Was shocked it happened.I not only predicted it months in advance, I correctly predicted the length of the extension.
Smokey has never forgiven me for being right.

One can dream.
By reilo Go To PostHe's a Grade-A bigot.
Ok thanks. I really don't have the time to look up his bigotry. Thank you. That sucks why people gotta be hateful?
By db Go To PostOne can dream.
Stop hitting on me. Night handsome!
By CRUD Go To PostOk thanks. I really don't have the time to look up his bigotry. Thank you. That sucks why people gotta be hateful?Here's an original reaction to the article.
Here's one less controversial take on it piece on it.. And here's another.
By matrixHarGod Go To PostI read that as probably has a massive dick. I should not have just watched the vacation movie trailer lol I need sleep.Lmao I ended up re-reading it just to make.sure.I didn't say that
By AlphaSnacks Go To PostWhat? Calling his players faggots and homos…and you're upset at how GS treated him? Are you a fucking moron?
wait ...wait...wait... He called his players faggots and homos. That explains why scalabrine was trying to record him. So they would be able to fire him easier....
I thought they fired him because he didn't want to listen to the owner and was to pushy like he was when he was a player
Ignorant comment based on old religious values/beliefs? Yes. Complete bigot? ehhhhhhh..
I've had the misfortune of meeting a few bigots/racists, and Mark Jackson doesn't strike me as even a poor man's Donald Sterling.

oh so they fired him because he was pushy and insubordinate but his homophobia was what they were trying to get him for on the record.... ok.
Jeez I've been rooting for him but now I looking at all of this (including GSW resurgence) as his comeuppance for being a douche prior
By Zeus Ex Machina Go To Postoh so they fired him because he was pushy and insubordinate but his homophobia was what they were trying to get him for on the record…. ok.He didn't deserved to be fired for his coaching; players loved him and he took the team to a Game 7 with no Bogut. His front office interaction (people didn't like him) and unfailing 'loyalty' to his staff is what killed him. When you don't have any allies in the organization because you pissed them off, you got no one watching your back.
Yooo I had forgotten about the Scalabrine mess
By DY_nasty Go To PostHe's also a bad coachYou try to teach David Lee defense.
By DY_nasty Go To PostHe's also a bad coach
Yeah but the way it went down, him being a bad coach never felt like the reason. Owners don't stare with hatred at a coach like lacob did Jackson right before he fired him because the coach is bad.
By Zeus Ex Machina Go To PostYeah but the way it went down, him being a bad coach never felt like the reason. Owners don't stare with hatred at a coach like lacob did Jackson right before he fired him because the coach is bad.Right before? Dude just threw grenades at the guy 5 months ago!
By The Frankman Go To PostRight before? Dude just threw grenades at the guy 5 months ago!
yep, stuff like that shows the issues they have go deeper than Jackson's coaching ability.
By KingGondo Go To PostHindsight, I know… But reading this now… Lawd.To be fair even Austin River's mom wouldn't have predicted that he would suddenly hit puberty in this series.

By The Frankman Go To PostYou try to teach David Lee defense.He didn't have to. He could have just played Draymond Green, but he didn't:

2015:
By Zeus Ex Machina Go To Postyep, stuff like that shows the issues they have go deeper than Jackson's coaching ability.but he IS a bad coach too lol
The "good" coaches all have rings, which is like 4-5, maybe even less. Thibs is probably the only outlier.
With that said, no, Jackson isn't a bad coach. Kerr winning 67 in Season 1 doesn't help his case though.

Actually, Jackson's use of Bogut is by far his most damning move as a coach.
By reilo Go To PostHe didn't have to. He could have just played Draymond Green, but he didn't:In fairness, Lee had been an All-Star that year (i think?) and still was playing at a high level on O. 2014 Dray and 2015 Dray are on different levels, same with 2014 and 2015 Klay. The only guy to not improve dramatically was Barnes, and that's debatable. Again, if Bogut didn't get hurt I would've loved to see if GS could've made the Finals. Would the Front Office fire him after a loss in the Western Finals? Sounds like it.... eh, topic for another day.

Would the Front Office fire him after a loss in the Western Finals? Sounds like it….But if we are talking defense, Green was already much better defensively than Lee. Lee was a net-negative offensively, too, despite putting up 18/9.
So...
McHale isn't a bad coach
Mark Jackson isn't a bad coach
Byron Scott isn't a bad coach

By DY_nasty Go To Postbut he IS a bad coach too lol
There was one person who didn't get a mention from Steph during his MVP speech. And Steph was always listed as one of his biggest defenders.
meh
he helped them take a big step, jackson isn't great but the immediate dismissal from all of his former guys is some bitchassness imo
yall wasn't motherfuckin shit before mark jax
