Stan Van Gundy? Don Nelson? Rick Adelman? Jerry Sloan? Please. These guys are not championship coaches or championship potential coaches anymore. Plus, just getting Andre Iguodala will not take this team to a championship. You need more pieces around such as two damn healthy centers and a damn quality backup PG. Joe Lacob is a fool that thinks he knows sports when he doesn't have a single athletic bone in his body. Give this guy a break! Kudos to Andre Iguodala as well as Stephen Curry, Jermaine O'Neal, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, David Lee, and everybody else that stood up and went out on media supporting and backing up Mark Jackson.
I don't understand how you can be so content with what Mark Jackson has done. Do you really think that this team should be a 6th seed? With the talent we have, we should have a better record than Houston and Portland. I think we are just as talented as San Antonio, but the difference between us and them is that they have a good coach. Players support mark jackson because he lets them do whatever they want and because he's buddies with them.
Wake up Einstein. We had Toney Douglas, Jordan Crawford, and no threat play it safe Steve Blake that can't hit his shots, gets overpowered by other PGs, and slow as snails as our backup PGs this season and remember we didn't have a quality backup PG for 3/4 of the regular season until Steve Blake came here around the trade deadline and that's not saying much. We also had a rookie PG, Nemanja Nedovic, that can't even beat out the worst point guard of all-time in Toney Douglas. You can't expect Stephen Curry to play 48 minutes every game. He needs and Mark Jackson needs a quality backup PG that can give this team 12 to 14 quality minutes while giving Curry some rest. Remember when Stephen Curry missed some games and we had to force Andre Iguodala to played PG and what happened? He got injured for weeks and didn't recovered from the hamstring injury because Toney Douglas was diarrhea bad at PG and Nedovic is completely useless that we had to play Iguodala at PG for heavy 40+ minutes. Even the great Gregg Popovich would lose his mind having those 3 guys (Douglas, Crawford, Blake) as the backup PG for all season long.
Then Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, David Lee, Andre Iguodala, and Andrew Bogut only played 43 games together this season. 43 GAMES! 31-12 on those 43 games to be exact so imagine if these guys could of play 65 games together, they could of been 45-20 or so with 17 games left that they could of went 11-6 or better. That's a 56-26 record with no backup PG, no bench, no backup center, etc. Do you know how many times the starting lineup of Damian Lillard, Wesley Matthews, LaMarcus Aldridge, Nicolas Batum, and Robin Lopez played together for the Portland Trail Blazers? 69 games together while Damian Lillard, Wesley Matthews, Nicolas Batum, and Robin Lopez all playing all 82 games and LaMarcus Aldridge missing only 13 games. One starting guy being the only player missed for the Trail Blazers while we had pretty much 3 starting guys missed. 69 games together for the Portland Trail Blazers starting lineup and 43 games together for the Golden State Warriors starting lineup while we finished the season with 51 wins and the Portland Trail Blazers finished the season with 54 wins. Am I still losing you here or that's not clear enough for you?
Here's another fun fact for you: Stephen Curry missed 3 games due to injuries and 1 missed game because Mark Jackson didn't feel the need to play him during the season finale, Klay Thompson missing a game because of his grandfather passing away, David Lee missing 13 games with a hamstring and shoulder injuries, Andre Iguodala missing 19 games due to knee and hamstring injuries, and Andrew Bogut missing 14 games with all types of injuries and a 1 game suspension. Do the math: 4 games (Curry) + 1 game (Thompson) + 13 games (Lee) + 19 games (Iguodala) + 15 games (Bogut) = 52 games missed. 52 GAMES! Whereas the Trail Blazers starting lineup missed only 13 games and that's only by 1 player. 1 player! Oh yeah let's check out our 2nd year center Festus Ezeli that was huge for us last season played hhhhmmmmmmmmm . . . . . Let's see here . . . . . O GAMES THIS SEASON! Then you have Jermaine O'Neal playing only 44 games. That's 38 missed games by Jermaine O'Neal. All these injuries, no bench, no backup PG, and no backup centers and the Warriors finished 3 games behind the Trail Blazers and Rockets?
What do you expect? 60 wins with a starting lineup of PG-Stephen Curry, SG-Klay Thompson, PF-Draymond Green, SF-Harrison Barnes, C-Marreese Speights and a bench unit of PG-Steve Blake, SG-Jordan Crawford, PF-Hilton Armstrong, and C-Ognjen Kuzmic? Get real man. No other head coaches could of did just as good or better than what Mark Jackson did outside of Gregg Popovich, Doc Rivers, and Tom Thibodeau. On top of that, Mark Jackson had to deal with a owner who breathing down his neck at the games all season long and the owner's loverboy GM being quiet and out of the media to save his behind for assembling this crappy diarrhea bench. Now think and read again about everything I just posted so you have a little appreciation for what Mark Jackson did this season. Same goes out to all the other Mark Jackson haters out there to get an idea of what the Warriors season has been like before coming here and just bashing away on Mark Jackson. Go ahead and marinate on that.
