Basketball is a billion dollar business which relies more on analytics and proven models. RealGmers are fans and more subjective.
Merit is subjective depending on your criteria.
In the first two months, Klay and Wiggins were some of the worst players in the league and played with impunity. Looney this season wuldn't even get game time as the center backup in nearly every other team. That's not subjective, it's how they've played.
Not everything can be hidden under the guise of subjectivity. Pop is one of the 3 best coaches of all time and made one of the dumbest substitutions in NBA history in 2012. Coaches like everyone else make mistakes. Kerr has been making a ton of them.
Once again a difference between a realgm fan who habe more recency bias and a professional coach. Wiggins and Klay main drop off is in the area of shooting the 3. There is great history and likelyhood they would return closer to the norm. Kerr is statistically one of the greatest 3pt shooters ,#1 in pct, and understands this more than most anyone.
No the main drop off was on every single aspect early on, especially for Wiggins. He was diabolically poor defensively. This isn't a recency bias, it's based on what is happening. If Klay all of the sudden finishes the season as a 43% 3P shooter by the end of the season, it doesn't change all the issues that come with him logging heavy minutes.
What you're describing is far and away one of the most obnoxious points anybody ever mentions on realgm. Don't question a coach, GM, CEO because they've been doing it while everyone here hasn't. It's stuck on the point that they can't be wrong and some random person (or thousands) can't see it. Everyone makes mistakes, and some are awful. Which is why CEOs step down, GMs/coaches get fired, and players get traded.
Kerr's 3 and 4 guard lineup as an example is a failure, and him being a crazy successful coach doesn't mean that it's not a failure.It doesn't mean it's not a failure because I or any other schmuk on here that can see it. It's an objectively idiotic tactical move that he keeps repeating ad nauseam.
