Warriors biggest problem? Their Coach

[Old_Blue]

I sense some of the strongest defenders are paid by team to shape sentiments. I saw the same thing on the mavs board. We have send people breaking down warrior wins / gloating over wins but never teams weakness or losses.

Wait, what? Posters are paid by the team? Where do I sign up?

1. Kerr and Klay are playing for 10 years together and won 4 chips. Kerr won't bench Klay or limit his minutes in contract year. More likely they both will die on this hill and will drag the whole team down.
2. Kerr didn't develop any young player in 10 years. Its all about veterans and rookies are for pluging veterans holes. Kuminga standing in the corner on every possesion is epitome of how Kerr value youngsters
3. Small ball with old 3 guards and Wiggs at PF....Fetish?...b/c of veterans?...b/c of offence?.... drtg is 131.2 in 105min

Kerr is a genius!

Oh shut up. This tired defence is lame.

So because we won titles over the last decade we should sit back and accept a decade of losing?

What are you going on about? This isn't the Knicks board. You haven't tasted a "decade of losing." Less than 18 months ago, the Dubs were crowned NBA Champs.

Put your reading glasses on.

Kerr has lost the team.
The only player he trusts now is Curry.
He wanted Thompson and C. Paul as his second and third offensive options but it is clear that they are not capable anymore.

So, he decided that nobody has a role in the team.
It is Curry and some others who nobody has a role.
I have never seen something like this in a team again

The person who joined this forum only 2 weeks ago, instead of taking others' disagreements in good faith, has the temerity to accuse board members of being paid by the team. That's really rich.

Probably an Alt ID. Just run a text comparison to figure out who it is.

Interesting observation. I wonder if Curry privately feels the same. Publicly he’s supportive, but internally??

Small example: His shot at the end of the Denver game. Tough floater in traffic. Just missed. Not critical of the shot itself; this is Steph.

But. Klay was wide open and set in the corner. His man totally committed early to helping with Curry.

Even in the weird Warriors hierarchy, not making the pass was odd. That wasn’t Omri, or Nick Young, or JaM Green. That was splash bro Klay, open for a game winning 3, but Steph took the tough 2.

What’s going on in their heads?

Been a closet forum reader for some time. Spent so many hours of my life with the warriors, just hurts to see them in this downward spiral and clueless to boot. Just signed up to offer my last two cents, not that it is going to making a difference to warriors.

[Romulus]

3 days off now. 2 practices. You know what that means? More time to practice.... passing.

The "coach" never addresses the issue of turnovers. His answer to everything these days is to go small and to pass more.

God help us all.

Its a players league.

Biggest problem on offense Thompson and Wiggins shooting. If they shoot their avg GS is top 10 team

What is Kerr historically good as a player , shooting.

Main problem on defense all time great Green has missed games. GP2 missed games.

Sample size of games is small. Warriors had best starting 5 in limited games last year problem was bench.

I think that is improved

I still suspect a good season

All time great Green has 120.7 drtg. Yes GSW won 5 game with him, but against what teams?

SAC w/o Fox
OKC w/o Shai
NO w/o Ingram
HOU/DET with last minutes spurts

Green was positive on the floor only in 3 games (+1 +2 +6). Take off the rose-colored glasses and look properly.

Once again small sample size so really not great for analysis plus he was comming off injury.

For context 3pt improvement in DRTG puts GS in top 8.

Kerr at thus point isn't chasing wins. He is experiments with rotations and load manages. CP3 is a major piece to add plus third of team is new.

“I think the fouling, that was the No. 1 goal defensively coming into the season is to cut back on our fouling, keep our opponents off the foul line as best we could. I haven't looked at the stats lately in terms of our league ranking, but it's not good. We're fouling like crazy,” Kerr said. “We've gotten undisciplined the last couple weeks. We're fouling too much. Our opponents are not only getting free points but setting up their defense, makes it harder to score on the other end. That's to me the No. 1 issue.”

Opp FT/FGA and drtg

2014 18th and 4th
2013 22th and 14th

Needs to show someone these numbers to Kerr that this team fouled a lot year by year regardless of what the defense was. Also Klay/Paul are safe again, b/c they don't foul to much. Davis and Kuminga are on Kerr's radar...

As long as good season isn't being a real contender, then sure it's possible to make it past the playin and lose in the 1st/2nd round like Lakers last season.

It's all about match ups and health. Close to 100 games left till a new champion.

Kerr experiments with lineups and tries to build playoff chemistry and doesn't chase wins.

This team has no chance to win a championship unless the top players of every competitor get injured before playing the Warriors. I'm not sure how Kerr's tinkering is going to change anything.
