Colin makes a great point when he said " he thought that the stars/core was a bit too old and the young guys were not quite ready ". This exact point is why I believe that this is Steve Kerr's best coaching job. Especially in the Finals. I also believe that Andrew Wiggins was The X factor in The Finals. His defense was amazing ( I'm certain Draymond and Igoudala is schooling him) and his scoring was always timely.

[@weatherboy0149]

Kerr did a great job in these Finals. As great as Ime Udoka is and will continue to be, Kerr outcoached him straight up.

@@ufd869 you’re totally right. You can’t manufacture culture. Most of the “super teams” have zero culture. Brooklyn is a perfect example. Culture will beat these “super teams” any day of the week. I’d be willing to bet KD never wins another ring. Kyrie only cares about Kyrie and we all know what Ben Simmons is all about. Drafting and developing talent is what it’s all about. It’s why GSW will be a contender for the next several years. They have the big three as well as an up and coming Poole and some really great guys like Kuminga Moody and Wiseman. They’re gonna be a scary team for a while.

@@gregorypew793 that is why no matter what his reason was for leaving, KD i think will look back and wish he hadn't let his ego and the "medias" perception of him effect him to the point where he wanted to leave one of the best cultures and best basketball situations ever. Steph was challenging lebron for the best player in the league, was a UNANIMOUS MVP 2x MVP and everyone knew this was his team and he still was okay playing the robin role so KD could come and be batman and essentially take some of his shine away when Steph was at the top of his game.if KD didnt learn from playing with Westbrook all those years then idk what to tell him. Kyrie a great individual player a great iso player but when has he ever made a team better? Without lebron he has no playoff success. Boston was better before him and after him and was better when he was hurt. If Steph or Steve Kerr cared about stats then Steph would just pick and roll the whole game and have the ball the whole game. Steph could chase stats and personal accolades if he wanted but he could care less. Dude is an all time great Superstar and teammate and Kerr and the culture can flourish because their best player could give a damn about individual success so that lets guys like iggy in his prime, klay, draymond, wiggins, poole etc buy in and bring out the best in them that other teams just cant do. Wiggins turned into one of the best consistent 2 way players these playoffs and i dont think that side of wiggins gets brought out on any other team but the warriors.

Same size, same defensive prowess, a lil more athletic and explosive and when they put him on Brown and or Tatum he caused a lot of problems. Makes the right plays and scores efficiently because he doesn’t force his offense. If Smart is a student of the game, would be wise for him to learn from how Gary Payton II plays on the dubs

Tatum’s game is similar to Durant where they are iso focused and have to score off the dribble far to much. Warriors have great shooting but execute in the half court and secondary transition with lots of cuts and layups. Durant’s first year at GS he bought into the positionless back cutting and screen away game. The media loves hero iso ball and doesn’t fully value motion oriented team ball.

Seem like the only time the Celtics had success was when everyone was attacking steph curry , but I noticed once bigger players guarded Tatum he struggled Jaylen had to worker harder but he still did his thing brown was the best player this series for the Celtics ,

[@pamion2805]

Brown didn't have wiggins on him either

[@The_Real_Kal-El]

Wiggins doesn’t need to spend the same amount of his energy offense and defense like Brown and Tatum do. Wiggins is the 4th option when Steph, Klay, & Poole are out there.

[@winssports4830]

Golden state and Steph adapted to that strategy though and it backfired. They got way too hunt Steph happy and it took them out of their offense, stagnated them, and set them up for easy traps. Steph also held up way better than they expected he can't be hunted like he used to be because of his strength now.

[@Johnny-xj5qu]

You talking about game 3 when Steph was in early foul trouble (solely based on complete phantom fouls being called on fouls 1 and 3)? They took full advantage of Steph that game as he was forced to play passive. Outside of that, he foiled their plans to hunt him down all series. Held his ground

[@winssports4830]

@@Johnny-xj5qu facts! Yet people make that same excuse for Marcus smart lol. Fouls stop you from being able to defend aggressively. Especially when you're the teams primary offensive weapon and when you pick them up early.

I remember Shaq saying that Tracy McGrady was on the same level as Koby. This was back in the day pre-injury. Shaq was talking about the supreme talents who play back sometime in the 90s after MJ had waned or retired. It made be watch him every time I had a chance. He was special.

I'm happy for Andrew Wiggins that man went from being in Cleveland and then getting kicked out because of LeBron then trying to make his way in Minnesota and then from Minnesota to Golden State I'm happy for Wiggins and had Steph not had a good game last night that finals.mvp could have gone to Wiggins because majority of the time when Steph was off the floor Wiggins was putting in the work and poole

[@von9996]

I think something that doesn't get mentioned is how much his ego probably was damaged being the no.1 pick and before he even touched the court you had the best player in the league Lebron come out and say i don't want you i cant win with you and you get traded before a single game played. Idc how much of an ego someone has that will effect most people. He was decent in Minnesota but hes not an alpha and didnt care to be "the guy" or want to be a no.1. Golden state fits perfect for his personality and fits perfect for his game. Steph, Steve Kerr and the culture bring out the best in everyone. When your best player is so unselfish and sacrifices personal accolades so that a KD can come and just do his thing and runs around non stop so everyone else can get open shots and easier looks. Draymond is basically the point guard so Steph doesnt nearly touch the ball as much as most superstars. He could easily go for more points and assists if thats what he cared about. When your best player makes it about you and not himself it makes everyone else buy in and want to play like that.

Dude's impact to the game is amazing, formidable, and he stuck with his squad throughout his career so far. No knock as LeBron is the GOAT to me, but I still respect players who can stick it out and build with one team.
