I don't like the term 'fire'. It doesn't have to be like that.

How about terminate his contract? Mutually agree to part ways? Buy him out? Send him on a very long fishing trip?

Just as long as he and Olshey are replaced before next season.

Bottom line is the team needs new direction.

:cheers:

But instead of a horse's head we'll use Melo.
 
I agree with this 100% and Im not sure that all (including me) in here looking for huge change with GM & Coach will get unless this;
GS Warriors new President....of course he would say this about ownership but I buy it.

"I'll steal one line from Rick," Schneider said. "I've heard him say this so many times but it's just well-said. There's three things that you need to be a successful sports organization: Ownership, ownership and ownership.

As long as we are owned by a conglomerate in Seattle, profitability and being a playoff team with fan support, will be acceptable and meet their objective & subjective performance criteria.

Kerr, Spoelstra, Carlisle and Nurse for sure. Pop, too, probably, though I'm concerned that he might be exiting his "brilliant coach" phase and entering his "stubborn back-in-my-day" phase. But I'd still take the risk if there were some way for Portland to get him.

I think Kerr is massively overrated. How hard is it to make the NBA Finals with four US Olympians in the starting line-up.

Luke Walton won a hundred games in a row the year they won 73 games and Kerr somehow botched a 3-1 lead in the Finals.

He’s struggling to win now with Green, Curry, and two #1 overall picks in his starting line-up. Yes, I know Wiseman is now out for the season but Kerr still has a two-time MVP leading his team.

Wanna know why they didnt win games? Because they barely had any reps running other defensive schemes other than drop scheme. We switched away from drop in Games 2, 3, & 4 and were much more competitive, but had we ran something else during the regular season, we likely wouldve had the details down to be able to win 1 or 2 of those games.

That's certainly one theory. Doesn't explain the consistent big leads in games 2-4 and not being able to hold onto them.
 
If Kerr had beat the Raptors (yes with injuries) that would have cemented that he's an above average coach. But he didnt and look what he's doing now?
Listen guys its like spring board diving in the Olympics when it comes to judging coaching in the NBA, scored on a degree of difficulty! If you have a super team of players it doesn't make the coach a super coach if they win the whole enchilada. However, if a guy like Utah's coach leads SLC to the ship, now thats impressive coaching.

How does the defense not being consistent enough when running other schemes not explain our lack of consistency?

The dude won 73 games and a championship with a starting lineup of Steph, Klay, Barnes, Draymond, and Bogut... and he's not an above average coach? Hm.

Wiggins and Wiseman are below-average role players.

It does explain us consistently getting a lead and then losing it. Inconsistency would produce random results, not nearly the same chain of events 3 games in a row.

That could definitely be random, but I'll chalk it up to Golden State honing in on things later into games and picking it apart, as well as picking up their defensive intensity and getting out on the break.

You dont think that being a little better defensively wouldve altered a couple one possession games?

To answer your last question, yes I fully agree with you. I'm confused as to why we were able to start so well for 2-3 quarters in a row for 3 straight games and then struggle to finish.
 
...I might have to create a program that will make a post on this thread every 15 minutes until Terry is fired -- that way this thread will stay at the top until then -- @SlyPokerDog wants too much money in fees to make it a "sticky" thread!!
 
5 minutes left in the 4th quarter, in a tightly contested game ... so what does the coach of the 3rd worst defensive rating team of all-time do?

He subs out our best defender in Robert Covington in place of CJ McCollum who was ice cold all game long (6-19).

His strategy to win this game was to really finish with a lineup of Dame/CJ/Norm/Melo/Nurk ... you can not make this shit up.

We also got a heavy dose of Melo/Kanter in the second-half as well ... Terry knows you can go small if Melo has it rolling and play DJ, Nas, Harry, or RHJ, right?

Nobody thought the Warriors had an awesome lineup going into Kerr's first year. I remember the projections here--I was among the highest on their roster and I only had them as a 4/5 seed (and I remember being questioned for having them so high). Nobody thought Draymond Green was anything, and he hadn't been prior to then, and while Curry was a rising star, he wasn't remotely a superstar. Klay Thompson was merely a good player. Iguodala was a veteran on the downside of his prime. Harrison Barnes was a disappointment. Shaun Livingston was a decent role-player.

People love to go with revisionist history that Kerr walked into a superstar factory that was manufacturing Finals appearances, but that wasn't remotely the situation until after he began coaching them and imposed his system.
