Warriors biggest problem? Their Coach

[Romulus]

FIRE STEVE KERR

Yes. Fire Steve Kerr. Yesterday.

[bicycle]

Maybe Steve's just been here too long. He's driven the same roads so many times he's just in autopilot now and not even noticing what's going on in front of him. His memory informs his choices more than his eyes do.

[superunknown]

this organization apparently doesn't have the balls to do what it's needed to be done.

[Jester_]

RIP Moody's career

Garbage coach. Fascinating to see there's like 2 people left on the board who still think he's not an idiot lol.

[hamncheese]

Kerr not planning to stay with the team so intentionally making it so we won't miss him.

[Onus]

Kerr has been tinkering with all the various lineups except the closing lineup and 2 players. Your move Kerr

[CDM_Stats]

Maybe I'm remembering wrong - it was about 10 years ago - but I think the cries to fire Kerr are louder than the ones to fire Mark Jackson

Its all just so surreal.. lets even assume that guys like Gentry (offense), Malone (originator of defensive scheme), Adams (tweaked/maintained defense), and Brown (re-made scheme) were the guys behind our strategies that worked so well. You'd have to think Kerr was at least learning/understanding what was going on. But this entire season has been an exercise in frustration.. so much so that it's uniting different types of fans. For those who like athletics and dont care about BBIQ as much, they're outraged at Kuminga's usage. For the opposite, they're outraged at Moody's lack of usage. But it seems most fans want the same thing... a new HC

Have to wonder if there are certain issues under the surface that are in danger of bubbling up... would it surprise anyone if one of the star players and the HC were at odds for quite some time?

Remember I told y'all this was Kerr's last season.

When the Kerr-Dray stuff drops is when the wheels will fully come off

[AdonalFoyle4Prez]

Kerr has Alzheimer's for forgetting who the best player on the floor was yesterday.

I think it's time for him to not be given minutes and sit his arse down aka FIRED.

When the Kerr-Dray stuff drops is when the wheels will fully come off

I wonder... is it a question of when, or if?

[Onus]

Kerr's biggest issue right now is that he believes if he goes to the kids then we're no longer contending. But it would actually make us better which is crazy. Solves 3 issues. Makes us better, raises their value across the league, and they improve. It's a win, win, win. We need to reduce our reliance on our vets not increase our reliance on them.

So glad this is Kerr's last season and really he shouldn't even finish out the year.

Have you heard anything? It was really odd of Kerr to say Dray hasn't been in touch with the team, and then the next day he's on his way back.

Gotta be when, knowing Draymond, but its becoming murkier because Dray's away from the team, Kerr's burning all kinds of bridges, etc etc

Woulda speculated earlier this season that it would come out once Dray retires, assuming that he and Kerr both finished out the dynasty here. Now? Tomorrow is on the table... losing to the Pistons at home could open up the floodgates

Just random speculation from people.. nothing concrete. Wondering out loud, I guess

Here they’re questioning Kerr’s dying love for veterans contrasted by Malone giving playing time Watson over mpj. Kerr just lower your reliance on the vets. Things will be better

[SinceGatlingWasARookie]

Kerr is the problem because you are delusional about Kuminga and Moody. You only see what they do well and don’t do well.


Anybody want to sign Anthony Randolph or have we all accepted that Anthony Randolph is not the savior?

[marthafokker]

MDJ already got fooled by Dray. Don't get stuck on another bad contract with Kerr getting a long contract. If Kerr doesn't want to coach before the new contract, imagine him getting a new multi year one.

[sonnyhill]

Kerr's mishandling of how he had integrated Thompson back into the rotation when Thompson had come back from the two leg injuries created much of the current Warrior culture issues.

IIguodala accepted coming off the bench.

Curry, coming back from injury, accepted coming off the bench.

Green, after being suspended, accepted coming off the bench.

Lamb and Jerome, hardly NBA rotation players, were giving playing time last season; yet, Kuminga and Moody had to sit on the bench.

Even this season, we still see Kerr allocating playing time based upon his subjective biases and not on merit. We also see opposing teams outcoach Kerr by playing zone defense and seeing the Warriors unable to make adjustments. Kerr has further destroyed his coaching credibility this season by playing Thompson at small forward, power forward, and even having Thompson guard centers.

Lastly, what has happened to the Warriors' defense?

Let's face it, board: Kerr is the big problem.

[Romulus]

Watching tonight's game against the Raptors, it really felt like Kerr has lost the players. There's no consistency in any decision he makes. And Kuminga was right when he said that it "messes with your head."

Now, it would be one thing if it were the young guys who aren't getting minutes (Kuminga, Moody) who were checked out. It appears the vets are also checked out, going through the motions -- and that list not only includes the now horrible Andrew Wiggins, but also Steph Curry.

Who knows what's going on behind the scenes? There were a couple of games where Wiggins wasn't bad coming off the bench. Maybe he just threw up his hands after he didn't get his starting job back? Maybe Curry is just tired of his role, playing off the ball so much, rarely shooting in the 1st quarter?

Whatever the reasons, Kerr is pushing all the wrong buttons. The players seem disinterested. Did you see the shots of Draymond on the bench? I never saw him talk to a single player, never saw him show any fire at all. Maybe he's trying to play it cool, but it just looked like another guy totally checked out.

Playing the worst defense of any team I watch (granted I don't see them all), and feeling this disconnect, I feel no sense of hope or change with Steve Kerr running the show.

It appears the players have totally tuned out the coach and this slide could get much worse.
