For the slow ones on this thread
@OG_status and
@KingJudah :
The players themselves had effusive praise for Kerr's attentiveness the entire season and he obviously commanded respect from the vets in that locker room. Harrison Barnes clearly stated that Mark Jackson had been grossly misusing him his entire coaching tenure and that Kerr requested feedback from all of his players regarding their strengths and weaknesses in the preseason for the express purpose of maximizing their talents on the court. Mark Jackson did no such thing.
He took a team that had won only 47 and 51 games in consecutive regular seasons and
choked away playoff series in both subsequent postseasons, increased their winning percentage by 19%, led them to the
third best regular season record in league history, and overcome
multiple 2-1 playoff series deficits.
He had the balls to start Barnes over Iggy (who hadn't been a bench player in a decade) for the first 85 games of the year without a peep, then had the self-awareness to make the requisite adjustments by switching them out and benching Bogut
halfway through the NBA Finals, thereby directly impacting the momentum of the series and
leading them to a championship.
That's called being a good coach. And this post is called "putting your remedial asses in your place".
Now eat these negs, appreciate these well-timed smileys, shut the fukk up, and keep it moving.
