Man it must be nice to have a coach who actually put YEARS in on the bench as an assistant before being given a head coaching job and is humble enough to admit he makes mistakes instead of tossing his team under the bus in public.

Sean Marks has done some great things here, but hiring Steve Nash to a position he was unqualified for has cost us heavily.


Flat earth creature said we dint need coach. My question is, since he can't/ won't play, can we bring true coach. Like D'Antoni to fix this crap. Than again, dude probably chilling before he go full time with 6's.

not to reverse jinx you guys but I'm not feeling this game for us. Things could get ugly fast if Harden and Kyrie are on point from the start. We got too many dudes out and our backup guard rotation is nonexistent right now. Hoping for a good game but if it could become a blowout before halftime :(

Edwards D on Booker and Claxton on Paul will be key.

nah, don't even sweat it. This team is poorly coached. I wouldn't be shocked if you blew us out with only 9 guys.

Kyrie saying that we didn't need a coach should have been a huge red flag in hindsight. Dude is out of his mind so much that it makes it hard to even get excited when he plays. On Saturday when i was watching him make great plays I was just kinda like....whatever. Like I can't bring myself to even be happy watching him anymore knowing that he's not serious about winning a championship.

We have alot more talent out then you. and we have lost to teams 100 times worse missing much better players. We could win, there is 0 chance we blow you out.

You dont have steve nash coaching. Nash is probably worth -8 points per game, maybe -15 vs a good team. thats alot to overcome and without KD it rarely happens

Does that mean Harris is out for the season or is he getting traded? Or a tactic by Harris’ camp to avoid getting traded? I am sick of all the injuries.

it just means they wont set a date for the return. I doubt Harris is anywhere close given what we know. im not counting on him being back this season.

Based on what KD said on his podcast a couple days ago, there is little doubt in his mind he will be back the beginning of march or earlier with no ill effects.

This is almost a must win. 3 games ahead of play in territory is getting in the dicey area. I think Harden took his break and should be good to go this one. Warriors game gave me a bad taste. Watched them play Rockets yesterday and the refs made the same questionable calls late for them again. Phantom fouls against the other team to change the momentum. Why are the refs on their side??

We will get smoked. The moral is below basement level. Add Steve Trash factor and this season is complete disaster.

Most important thing now is Harden and what he does this summer.

If Harris is out for the season, we need to trade him by the trade deadline. We can’t afford to have no shooting down the road on this already lack of shooting team.

I'm sure Marks would weigh those options and some reports say they have gauged Harris market.

It isnt easy to trade an injured player who will miss the rest of the season who is owed 2 years 40 million still. We may have to take back 50 cents on the dollar. at that point, it may be wiser to just got for a bargain shooting option vs trading Joe for like... justin holiday

If Harris is out for the year, i doubt marks stays put.

There is no must win game given where we are atm. If Harden plays, we have a chance. If Harden sits, say hello to 5 losses in a row. As long as we get everyone back and healthy after this current stretch, we should be fine.

Why are refs on Warriors side? Because Steph is NBA’s darling. He can do no wrong. He’s having one of his worst season statistically. He is having a brick fest this season. Yet no one says anything. When Harden has a bad game, dude is washed.

Lots of negativity and gloom. I believe we win this game as long as Harden is healthy. I think Sharpe is back. Not sure what happened last game, Nash gave a non answer to that question. Kessler is officially underated. He is showing an X factor level of play at this time. Harden with Sharpe is going to open up Mills and Kess, they are getting the reps needed now to have a break out game. Plus we have Kyrie getting the gravity for that to happen. Trust me. You will see a solid and effective performance tonight if Harden is a full go.

It’s blatant what the refs are doing for Curry. Yesterday towards the end there was a clean block on him with zero contact and they called a foul. Then he traveled by going to the ground and they called a jump ball. They also called a foul under the basket with no contact on a warrior player. This all happened cause Rockets were climbing back into the game with under 5 minutes left. It’s sickening. This is exactly what we are going to be up against when we play them. Someone needs to expose this.
