Why? Who do they think they can get is better? He's obviously done a good job.

GS has some weird issues with their coaches and management. I think there was a power struggle between what Jackson wanted on his assistants and what management wanted.

There was articles previously about an assistant being demoted to the D League and another fired for taping conversations.

I think this team will regress.

Re: OT: Mark Jackson fired

If we somehow make it past the Spurs, and the Clips whine and flop their way past Jaga, Tygra and the rest of them, I'd love to see a move to bring him on as a consultant for the rest of the season.

Re: OT: Mark Jackson fired

They are too careless with the ball, they need someone to come in there and slow them down.

They need Nate McMillan!

I'm confused. Explain this

Rick Adelman.

Didn't he retire?

 

[Reep]

Probably had to happen. Mark J is a great competitor, but maybe not a strong enough strategist. Somebody compared the situation to grandma driving a Ferrarri--or something like that. They need someone more creative on offense.

I was surprised they hired him as a coach after listening to him as a commentator with Jeff Van Gundy.

BOOM!

 

[Natebishop3]

This paves the way for Steph Curry to demand a trade to Portland.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Dumb move. They will become the T-Wolves now.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Nate McMillan might not be a bad choice for the Worriers.

Which part?

 

[Hobbesarable]

Nate McMillan might not be a bad choice for the Worriers.

I've gotta ask. BGD, do you use Dragon NaturallySpeaking rather than typing?

He'd be great if we want a higher seed than them. Awesome for some 3 point shooter who doesn't like to move out of the corner on offense either. Curry ISO would make them easy to stop as well

Haha!
I actually thought it was one of his best posts ever - Nate? Worry? Worriers? Good stuff!

My initial reaction was, that even though I wasn't a fan of the guy, he didn't deserve this...but

Jackson clashed constantly with management and struggled to manage his coaching staff during his Warriors tenure. Jackson's disinterest in game preparation and reluctance to practice despite a mostly young and gifted roster played a part in management's reluctance to commit long term to him, league sources said.

Jackson relied on an assistant coach, Darren Erman, to build a top-five defense, but Erman was fired late in the season after an incident that involved the taping of a conversation among the coaching staff.

I think we just found our most important off-season acquisition!
