I was not aware, that Kerr hired Ron Adams at GSW

I wish the Thunder could get Adams back, he was the big reason the Thunder went from 3-29 to 50 win seasons. A lot of his defensive principles are still empoyed by the Thunder.
GSW is gonna get a lot better at the defensive end of the court, that's just a little bit scary.
And right now, on the Thunder, a good defensive mind on the coaching staff could help us get through this period without KD. Presti alluded to playing better defense in the PC announcing KD's injury, I think that is the answer, rather than loading the starting line-up with teams best scorers and trying to outscore everybody.
Adams is from the Thibodeau school of defense. Funnel everything to the outside and to the baseline, don't let anyone get the middle, then flood the strong side and don't allow easy passes back to the weak side. Ice ( or blue ) the side PnR ... those are all Thibs/Adams principles.
