I find this funny. Warriors fan said they won the Ship because of Kerr. I'm sure he helped a little, but the development of Draymond, Barnes, Klay, and Curry was the most important imo. Heck even Kerr said, he didn't really do much, he told Walton he doesn't have to do to much either. I'm basically saying I think Jackson probably could've won with that team. Just found it crazy warriors fan made Jackson to seem like he sucked and Kerr was god or something.

They were stuck in the second round at best with Jackson for like 2 years. No doubt he helped develop Dray, Curry, and Thompson, but he also alienated his players too like Bogut and running 12 second ISOs with Harrison Barnes when he's not that type of player. Jackson had no clue of how to run an offense tailored for the Warriors. Plus, Jackson made the culture from the top to bottom in the FO very toxic, there was the revolving door of assistant coaches too.

The Warriors are insanely better off not having a hack like Jackson. He's a good player coach in the same mold as Vinny Del Negro, except more religious fanaticism.

Kerr made it work and you can't undervalue that. ITs not easy to coach in the NBA and every day games are lost because coaches are out coaches. Flip SAnders(RIP) was a clear example of that. Having 3 allstars helps

Not a good night for our playoff dreams.

I don't understand some Heat fans saltiness with Stanley Johnson. Their stats are pretty damn similar to start the season, but Justise is playing 10 more minutes a game. They didn't pass on Stanley, and got a good player in the draft fall into their laps. Why so salty? Neither one is lighting the NBA on fire right now.

For comparison:

Stanley- 5 games- 6.3 pts 4.0 rebs 1.5 asts 0.3 stls 0.0 blks .273 fg .250 3pt .714 ft (5-7) 0.8 to 2.3 pf in 17 mpg.
Justise- 6 games- 5.6 pts 4.2 rebs 1.4 asts 0.6 stls 0.2 blk .429 fg .300 3pt 1.00 ft (2-2) 1.4 to 2.2 pf in 27 mpg.

Justise is shooting better, but producing just as much in ten more minutes per game.

New Orleans look pretty bad so far. Like Wallace and Wallace we need AD and AD on this team.

Get it done Stan.

Man I wish we had a healthy Meeks though for trade purposes. Clippers fans hate Jamal Crawford right now since he doesn't do anything for them anymore. Meeks along with Tolliver would've been great trade bait for them to fork over a pick (if they have one).

[PrivateZer0]

I'm dead LOL.

They opened the trip with a 100-92 victory Friday night over the Phoenix Suns, when Jennings became the second Piston to become a new father since the regular season began. Anthony Tolliver missed the season-opening game at Atlanta when his wife gave birth to a daughter that day.

"There's a lot of that going around because that was when we were winning," Jennings said, overlapping the Pistons' midseason win streak last year with a bit of gestation mathematics.

Boston gets Brooklyn's unprotected first round pick this season. Could be 1st overall given how sucky Brooklyn is.

Miami fans want everyone to eat crow about JW WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too hard. Comments like "How did he fall to #10?" and "We got a absolute steal". Or ..................or.................the draft is that deep................ignorance is bliss apparently

[MrBigShot]

Porzingis looks really impressive so far.

It is sickening how bad they want to portray winslow as some future super star talent,when in reality,hes not setting anything on fire.Granted the kid is a good defender,but so is stanley,difference is winslow has to battle deng for starting minutes and SJ has to take a back seat to morris.I bet if SJ was battling prince for starting minutes,he would of been a starter on our 2nd season game and would be in a rythme and looking like he did in preseason/nike/SL.If you are a true unbiased fan,you can see that stanley just has more potential and a more well rounded game and will have a smooth game when he developes,that one fan that keeps the justice vs johnson debate alive,is going to fall hard and probably crash RG when johnson bounces back and has one of his 20/8/2/1 games....That same heat fan jumped on a guy on his board when he was claiming how good looking justice was and could be a male model,the other guy said he looked like don kings son and he really felt he had to defend justices looks If the poster is gay or a women,then I can understand it alittle,but still...I used to like him as a poster until his true motives were revealed..

Johnson will be what dre was to RG not that long ago,but the difference is I think johnson will change minds as soon as next season (hell maybe this one).If you notice the only posters on the rookie to watch thread,that really say anything negative about stan is miami heat fans,most fans are smart enough not to stick there foots in their mouths,and recently when posters are commenting on what rookies look the best and who will probably bust or have really fallen off,most will just leave stans name out,knowing he most likely will come back strong and dont want to eat crow..

Sorry for the rant,but I went over there to read the heats page about justice and when I kept seeing the stuff about stanley and our fans,I was already thinking about posting,then coming in here and seeing iam not the only one,had to vent,and unlike miami fans,I will not go on the GB and make myself or my DET board look like a classless fan base..

[kurtis48239]

Porzingis looks really impressive so far.

He really has,I was skeptical,but they found a nice piece,which quite honestly they really needed to hit on in this draft.

I also want to add,that iam not saying justice isnt a good player and does have a future in this league,but the 2nd coming of wade/harden with better defense come onnn.

[hoophabit]

I'd really hate to say anything that diminishes the perceived potential of JW. In fact, SJ and JW really put me in mind of one another. Young guys who are struggling with the speed of the NBA game, but who go out and defend hard and show a lot of potential. I remarked around draft time that I would have been happy with either one. I suppose some of this goes to Stanley playing so well in SL. The Heat did do well in getting Winslow. Some people just have a problem with the idea that it can be okay for both teams. SJ is getting flack for struggling some, but I remain convinced that as the year progresses so does he.

lol, let them relish their rookie with their head up there a*.

Fact is Winslow fell to #10 for a reason but was also projected top 4 for a reason.

Fact is unless your name is lebron or anthony davis, rookies aren't going to statistically blow up on a nightly basis.

[Snakebites]

So yeah, whatever twists and turns this season may or may not have in store for the Pistons this year, at least we aren't the Nets.

They look like the worst team in basketball AND they have no hope of a good lottery pick over the NEXT 3 years due to the moronic trade they made with the Celtics that cost them 2 of their next 3 first rounders (NO STRINGS ATTACHED) and the third they will be forced to swap with Boston (AGAIN NO STRINGS ATTACHED).

I don't like to use the word "doomed" to describe a team, but it seems pretty apt here.

Want a funny read? Check reddit nba's Nets sub. The fans are so despondent they've started to just do movie reviews.

Dre wins player of the week for the second stright week,he deserves it....Harden also won.
