You might do that if you don't want something like this happening:

The Dog shit coaching Job of Steve Kerr in all 3 games especially game 7. Most people blame curry but kerr is the main reason they lost the series due to his inability to make adjustments. And the fact that curry was launching 3's with the game tied with 3 mins left in Game 7 lets you know he doesn't coach the game. Instead he watches the game like us as a fan which is why the warriors have a playground style of play.

Is there a chance of Kerr being fired if GS loses another Finals or doesn't reach the finals? I don't think Kerr is a good coach

You are right - he should of pulled Curry out in game 6 & 7.....
He kept the push shooter out there making bad plays.

Now he will have Durant to make the same dumb plays

They won 73 games with that style of play. Why would you not trust a style of play that got you that far, only to try something new in game 7 of the Finals? And what other options did he have? Put Curry in the post? Nope. Put Klay in the post? Nope. Put Dray in the post? Nope. Put Barnes in the post? Lol.

Their game plan for the year was live by the 3, die by the 3. They're actually quite bad at other aspects of the game, which is why they're not as great a team as their record says they are.

The game was tied and curry had the ball, that means as a PG you

1. use up a good amount of the shot clock

2. drive to the basket

3. find the open man for a good shot


Not launch up a ****ing 3 like it's a regular season. I honestly think curry is retarded when it comes to managing the game

[PWB15]

Considering you didn't even mention it in your original post, I will say the most overlooked things are that the Warriors unfairly lost Draymond Green due to a basketball reasons(extend the series)game 5 suspension. Then in game 5 they lose Bogut who was their best interior defender for the rest of the series. To make it worse, in game 6 they lose their best perimeter defender in Iguodala who hurt his back and was a shell of himself for the rest of the series. Then when you factor in Harrison Barnes going ice cold and Curry letting everyone down by throwing a behind the back pass out of bounds, getting shut down by Irving and then Love with the game on the line as well as letting Irving nail a three in his face.

How could you possibly blame coaching? Which adjustments should he have made? You can't bench Curry. Both SF's, Iggy and Barnes, were struggling, and every center he put in wasn't working whether it was Speights, Ezeli or Varajao.

Call a timeout when the team was up 87-83 and let curry know from this point on

find the open man

drive to the basket

find a good shot


and tell that idiot we are in control now and don't need the 3 ball

No one on GS could hit a shot. Usually in those situations Curry has to create for himself to get the offense going again but he was unable to do so because of his knee injury.

imo their gimmick system has more to do with the collapse. Each time the warriors played a talented team team in the playoffs they struggled : with cavs in '15, cavs in '16 and okc in '16, which obviously shows that they are not the team they are touted to be.

This year it'll be no different, just a lot of losers in shock as how the 60+ wins all star warriors squad will not dominate the playoffs.

Lmao. Some teams dont have the benefit of going up against the Hawks, Bucks, Nets, Bulls and etc.

No team in the eastern conference playoffs is dominating OKC either. Lmao. OKC probably sweeps every playoff team in the east with ease.

poster preppin' for a fall out , but when they win , = I told you so

[hold this L]

He's a good coach but he was awful in the finals. He put on Ezeli when the Warriors were up by 3 or 6 and the Cavs immediately made 6 points on the Warriors. Ezeli was hot garbage the entire series, including that game and Kerr's mentality was that the Cavs didn't hit 3s. Lebron got fouled for a 3 and hit a 3 on Ezeli as soon as he came in. He also tried to get Barnes in the beginning of the game to hit his shots so he can have some confidence when the Warriors were outplaying the Cavs. Barnes kept missing like the useless scrub that he is, and the lead never got big enough to make a huge difference. Had he not made specific plays to let that scrub shoot but allow others instead, I think the game itself would have been over by half.

He was also pretty terrible in the OKC series as well, it was pretty much Klay having his super game and Steph stepping up the last 3 games and pretty much winning them the games. Just a ton of poor decisions.

Very astute observations. Warriors can't dominate the best teams in the NBA like they do vs mediocre to terrible teams. Wonderful analysis, you should work for ESPN

What adjustments is Kerr supposed to make when his team has numerous injuries and are completely worn down shell of themselves at roughly 40% ability after taking a 3-1 lead in the finals ontop of a grueling 7 game showdown in the WCF against an almost fully healthy team that coasted to the finals? That's like saying Blatt is a bad coach for Cavs losing in 2015.

Cavs would have annihilated OKC had they won the WCF... Cavs matchup better w/ OKC then GSW. What's Durant's record against Lebron again?
