Yes that is on Kerr. If he tells a player something and the player doesnt do it, guess what. Kerr is the coach and has the ability to take him out of the game and keep him out until he buys into the team system instead of the ISO.

If anything the fact that it was known that Kerr was telling him to stop ISOing and KD didnt, speaks volumes for KD and the respect he has for Kerr as the head coach.

no coach in the modern nba would sit his superstar for shooting too much. Sorry thats just not reality.

He has a 2x MVP and 2 more all nba level players to fall back on. Its a great way to teach a lesson to one of your star players.

And it wouldnt be benching him for taking too many shots, it would be benching him for killing the team's offensive flow. If he doesnt do something like that, then we can just expect KD to keep doing what he is doing.

When your coach has to beg you to Trust your teammates.... KD is the most overrated Player I've seen in a long time. He needs to get his ass traded to be honest.

Let’s talk.

Don't do it Ainge. Don't do it.

[Mister Ze]

Not sure why Curry isn't being aggressive on offense. I think we'll see that in game 6.

I'll predict Curry drops 30

Never talk to this man...ever ever ever NEVAH....he is the verbal David Blaine/David Copperfield....he will steal your watch, your girl and your franchise

[fart]

If I'm Houston I rest Chris Paul in game 6 regardless if he is cleared to play. If you close it great, if you lose you have Chris Paul as fresh as possible for game 7.

[life_saver]

Warriors ran many iso plays even when KD was on the bench and Curry was on court, it has more to do with the Rockets defense and switching. If you wanna blame, stop blaming KD and blame your coach and give more credit to Rockets defense who have been nothing short of outstanding

Lmao this guys don't even watch the game. When the play break down they post up KD. They are not posting up KD the first second of the shot clock. KD should iso less but you would think they don't iso when he is out but they do.

exactly...they just wanna scapegoat KD foreverything lol

[PushDaRock]

Warriors only lose when they turn the ball over, some of the careless passes being thrown you just shake your head at.

The Rockets game plan is basically 2016 NBA Finals to the extreme, drain clock on ISO's to shorten amount of possessions, don't turn the ball over live and run back to prevent transition offense. It's taken the Warriors out of their rhythm and they're really struggling to find a competent 5th guy on the floor as well. The roster construction is full of specialists and lacks a competent 2 way player to replace Iguodala and it's hurting them out there.

The question that nobody wants to ask is just wth is Curry doing in 4th quarters? He keeps passing the ball to Durant, Green and Klay then these pathetic Curry fans keep blaming them for taking the tough shots while Curry disappears. If he is such a great scorer why isn't he taking over? This isn't on Kerr either, Curry has to take over instead of dropping the ball like a hot cake in the clutch. I see too many excuses for Curry who is supposedly one of the greatest shooter/ scorers ever according to these fans....

Just too much respect for KD and Kerr listening to them. He needs so straight up tell them to **** off.

curry is not the problem honestly. neither is KD. steve kere is just being outcoached guys. He realized that the rockets took away what they do best so he decided to go iso with durant because lets be real gsws are actually more talenteds superstar wise. they have the guys to get it done but they just wasnt ready for the rockets man. they are playing our game

Why won’t Kerr do some PnR

[Coach Carter]

Kerr needs to be fired if they lose this series

regardless i'd fire him,

he's not a top coach, he's more a man manager, thrives with team harmony, tactically offers very little though

[BeibsInTheTrap]

warriors benefiting from another injury

can't say im surprised tho

[Heej]

I'd need to see it again, but it looked more like a cramp than an injury.

His expression sure didn't make it seem that way.

True, but he did pretty well compared to Lebron:

Watch on YouTube

I've pulled a hammy before and my legs have cramped, both while playing ball. Trust me, cramps are 10x worse. A pull is just the fibers in your muscles stretching too much and slightly tearing. Cramps are when your muscles involuntarily spasm, and that **** is goddamn painful. Last bball tourney I played in my adductors cramped and it felt like my legs were getting ripped in half. Managed to mentally force myself back into playing the second half but I was a shell of myself. When I pulled my hamstring I was able to basically massage it and get back in pretty soon after (absolutely stupid decision on my part)

hes done for the series

[Son_of_Slam]

WHY ARE PEOPLE BLAMING KERR???
He specifically told KD to stop the iso and KD isoed the next play. You could see Kerr screaming for him to do something.

It’s not Kerr’s fault that KD won’t stop the iso.

Yes that is on Kerr. If he tells a player something and the player doesnt do it, guess what. Kerr is the coach and has the ability to take him out of the game and keep him out until he buys into the team system instead of the ISO.

If anything the fact that it was known that Kerr was telling him to stop ISOing and KD didnt, speaks volumes for KD and the respect he has for Kerr as the head coach.

Durant's the most hated player among non-Warrior fans. Now even Warriors fans hate him. lol.

Keep slithering KD.

superstar gets used pretty loosely around here i see.

[Tracymcgoaty]

Wishful thinking but I'd like to think if it was his hammy, he wouldn't have been moving on it the way he was. Fingers crossed.

he'll play no doubt in my mind he wont be 100% but he'll play.

Paul is no stranger to a hammy so the fact that he was so despondent is not a good sign.

I've had hammys happen during games before. I had the exact same look. It's more of a i want to be out there and battle it out not be stuck on this **** chair. With all the treatment and everything that is at stake put that in with Paul's mentality the dude has the heart of a lion i dont give AF what people say hate him all you want but god damnit the guy is the shortest player out there he aint scared of nothing. If he doesnt play next def will play game 7

"Look Bryan, we're really head over heels for Fultz. He's so confident right now in interviews with me, his shooting form is like Curry. If you want to trade for the first pick, you'll have to give us your 3rd and Sacramentos pick, but just know I'm giving you a deal here cause I like you"
