Really appreciate Steve’s take on current affairs around the world. Very balanced and addresses the root cause

[@nestormendoza1926]

Hope he’s current on his coaching style against a new and different basketball athletes who have as much talent as the USA as most of them also play in the NBA and are much younger like Jokic, Luka , Wemby, Gobert to name just a few !

Amen, that's several years overdue! TJD was a move in that direction but he's still not big enough.

[@jensenchun4955]

@@candidone8544 Tracking, Kerr got spoiled with KD, he turn out to be taller and a better defender in the paint. Once that happen we saw the depletion of the big which in spite of the two year run it took unsung bench players like McGee and West to bail them out when their backs were up against the wall. The last year 2018-2019 when the two major injury happened the roster was pretty much cleared regardlesd of the drafting of Wiseman. Even before go back Kerr and Green were already tensions as to how KD was now doing too much isolation. Remember Kerrs interviews with Green in the back chipping away and KD sayng they know who I am! The writing was on the wall Cavs , when he loss Green he didnt know how to counter, when he loss KD then Thompson he didnt again. He transform small ball as the only way, ball movement, spacing, that he forgot how he got there, Bogut, Lee, Zaza, McGee, West, when he got the last chip that did it, who needs a big its my way or highway. He ask the owners this season let me run it back with the core because that is what we all want reason no moves to get bigger what so ever got even smaller. We see the result Kerr and core got their wish now step aside and lets see if GM attatboy Jr. Agrees or he just a puppet for Kerr!

[@candidone8544]

Yep, you do need coaching...for you! At GSW, Kerr is not far enough up their org chart to improve trade, draft, or resigning decisions. He's stuck with what he's given as a roster to winnow. Nobody else can change that virtual "shortfall". GSW has been stuck with small ball, precisely by the lack of size, for several years. That's not a change that a GSW coach can make. Myers/Dunleavy and Lacob have the say on what/who Kerr has as roster material.

[@nestormendoza1926]

Overrated Coach ! Would be a total embarrassment if USA don’t the bring the Gold !!

JK should never play the 4. He's a true wing 3 position. If anything lets get a true stretch 4 that can play some 5 and can rebound. Should be 6'10 or taller...a Naz Reid / Kevin love type player.

[@nz7244]

Really, coach. Name them. And does he get any credit for the 23 games? They won in the clutch this year Sparky?

[@candidone8544]

Lots of wannabe fans are blatantly clueless. Kerr has no control over the basic roster material. Trades, draft picks, resignings...all front office. Lacob is not carefree with his business decision-making. Myers/Dunleavy are his minions. It's Lacob who holds the "checkbook". A GSW coach takes the roster material allocated and makes do. Yet, 4 rings get no currency from fantasy fans who fantasize control in GSW's situation. Kerr is off-the-charts better at his job than such wannabe pseudo-gurus will ever be at basketball. No NBA Coach HOF locks among them. What's curiously sad and simultaneously nonsensical is how readily so many pretentious fans turn off while a NBA HOF lock gives a master class! There's nothing redeemable about such closed-minded drivel.

[@TheBoz79]

I'm sure and trades, draft picks and resignings gets not only approval but recommendations. Bob Myers said in a past interview that he is not going to recruit 7 footers if they are going to sit on the bench. Alluding to fact that Kerr has a select few players that he likes. And Kerr will ride them on the bench if they don't meet his personal expectations rather than the true outcomes.

[@MysticMech]

You make a lot of good points. However, there is evidence to suggest, Kerr will not play players he doesn't like. Mike D can bring in a 7 footer... however, it seems Kerr will go out of his way to "NOT play him. It's strange. Height is exactly what GS needs. Make it make sense.

He said Father Time has caught up but the next sentence we hoping…. Mike Dun do not let Kerr determine your moves he has his job and Mike you have yours Mike make your moves this summer while Stevie is in Paris 😂

[@candidone8544]

Lacob has the primary say, which constrains Dunleavy/Myers. GSW coaches don't have more than secondary input. Kerr's rosters are hand-me-downs.

[@HoopReactor]

"Stop playing zone and stop switching everytime" literally it... but will he ever stop that? Just get/make guys that know how to play good enough 1v1 defense to allow Steph/Klay 's good shooting nights and Drays defensive masterclass actually mean something... and maybe some guys that can hit wide open shots for $1,000,000? Didn't know that could be so difficult...

[@jrwilliams5075]

🤦‍♂️ definitely needs some coaching changing honestly the entire staff does not needs to come back

[@badongnatividad1729]

Kerr is a good guy and a good coach but as a fan, i got frustrated this year when he played players who didn't deserve a lot of minutes. The young players were given a very short leash. He expected a lot from his young players to earn their minutes. Not quite the same with the other veterans.

[@Jang9851]

Steve Kerr was textbook correct. Like any coach from highschool or understand a lick of court dynamics understands what Kerr said about Kuminga. Kuminga has potential but it is depended on his shooting. If you can't understand this simple concept. I just can't take your knowledge of ball seriously let alone that he overlaps with TJD and Dray.

[@milton2755]

He can't shoot if he doesn't play can he. This man played Lamb over him for a full season and he only gave him a shot this season because he publicly complained. Terrible coach for young talent. Anthony Edwards on this team would've been riding the bench.

[@Qjags2]

​@@milton2755you are textbook correct 💯 Jerome and Lamb over Kuminga and Moody what a wasted year.

[@Jang9851]

@@milton2755 There is no correlation between minutes and improved shooting. Google it. You can improve shooting through offseason training alone.

You don’t ball at all. You put players in situations to take advantage of their strengths. Not to play them & make excuses is crazy. Do you JOB COACH!!!!! Kerr’s time is up, it’s totally obvious.

[@Jang9851]

@@JB-sb5ph You clearly don’t understand the climate of the league or spacing or synergy. Kerr put kuminga in a place to succeed by changing the play style to more iso. Because that was the only other semblance of offence we had. That style is also outdated and backwards iso doesn’t win you titles everyone knows that. If kuminga can’t shoot he’s gonna be PF that doesn’t elevate the teams ceiling because he can’t space the floor.

[@foreversims6734]

Well for starters if the front office stop tryna please Kerr and get players that can actually contribute to winning. If Steve can stop relying and put so much pressure on Steph, klay, and dray; then maybe this team can evolve. That includes draft picks too. They should be drafting players to eventually replace Steph and klay they can’t really afford anymore projects and I’m sorry podz doesn’t scream franchise player to me. They could’ve got cam and imagine him next to kuminga, moody, and tdj.

[@danshealthylifestyle8443]

The warriors are the smallest team in the NBA right now. Thanks to Steve Kerr, couldn’t win against any good teams. Kerr was bragging about being in the play in. because lakers made it to the w conference finals and Miami made the finals last year.being a play in team. Is that the goal now being a play in team. Draymond getting suspended isn’t the reason why the warriors didn’t make the playoff😂. Clearly stuck in the past. It’s not 2022 anymore Draymond is washed, can’t control his emotions, klay is a human cone on defense, curry is good but declining. Kerr plays favor and as a coach it will never work. The core is too old. The ship is sinking I hope jk and moody gets out of there and play for a coach that isn’t stuck in the past. Most overrated coach in nba history. How you coach Steph, kd, klay and draymond green Lavar was so right. The ship is sinking with the biggest payroll in nba history.
