Series Thread: 1) Golden State Warriors vs 8) Portland Trailblazers

[Wishbone]

I thought Kerr was smoking weed to deal with his issues? Do they bring Luke Walton back in his absense?

gonna be awful hard to do, being under contract here in L.A. and all...

Well didnt Portland shoot like 54% in the 1st half. Yeah that's what I thought. They did the same thing as Cleveland had a great 2nd half, I wasnt surprised.

This doesn't even deserve a real response

With the emergence of McCaw and Clark's improved play, along with the points about the Dubs' bigs that @tlance pointed out, the Warriors might have a better bench this year then last.

And Iggy did something different this season vs. last season. Clearly he's been prepping throughout the year for a deep playoff run. It's showing!

Expecting wiggy to go wack & pucker up to kiss LeBron's rear end is a given. No coffee for me though (that shit's nasty) but great call on the iced tea. I just gotta refreshing glass of that stuff.

I go through about a gallon every 2-3 days.

Congrats buddy. I guess you didnt watch the 1st half. That defense wasnt their finest. They got a cakewalk to Finals IMO Houston and SA arent playing good ball. Kawhi is though

Cavs fans are just desperate for anything that they can cling to that looks like it gives them a chance.

is Kerr seriously alright? He is very young for having this bad of issues that he has sat out so many games in his short career as a coach. Hope he is alright, what is the extent here?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Kerr isn't really needed for coaching at this point, but he's important as how he deals with Draymond.

 

[DorianRo]

Kerr can't get some kind of special procedure done for his back?

Basically it seems like his decision to have back surgery was a terrible idea and now he's paying for it unfortunately

Just like many AAU coaches are pointless. Just roll the ball out there and let the best athletes/players run the game.

Of course the NBA is different in that these are grown men getting paid millions to play a game they know like they back of their hand and have played their entire lives. Yeah NBA coaches may be the least important of the coaches in all of pro sports.

That is too bad. He has a great shot to win 2 titles in just 3 years of coaching. He is on pace to beat out Jackson.

I disagree. NBA coaches are very important. Especially in the playoffs. Making on the fly adjustments, making adjustments after each game, and most importantly drawing up set plays when it is needed.

Tell Lakers fans coaches are not important after they just went through a couple of years with Byron Scott and Mike Brown as their coach

Really you have Tyrone Lue in his first year as head coach winning the title. David Blatt with zero NBA coaching experience comes in and takes a team to the finals. Its about the roster more then anything.

Cakewalk... for us? lol. I don't even wanna hear you talk about cakewalk lmao

The Kerr factor is a bit tricky. I don't think Kerr's coming back for the playoffs. Luckily for the Dubs, Kerr's laid the ground work and the culture for this team for Mike Brown to walk into - so he should only have to focus on the defensive play calling and hope his assistants bail him out on the offensive side. Kerr will be their for practices and film sessions from what I've heard. The really concerning aspect though is the in-game adjustments, which are definitely going to take a hit, as well as relating to players - particularly Green and Curry. The Splash bros. respect Kerr because he's of the same mold as him. The Green factor is going to be another interesting one because I'm not sure of what type of relationship Green has with Mike Brown.

Mike Brown will fuck it up somehow. Great defensive coach and everything else he sucks at. Yes, Kerr laid the ground work but Brown could fuck up a wet dream.
