so is this where intelligent basketball discussion is had? if so i have a few thread ideas
last season after 60 games the warriors' win total was 27
this season after 60 games the warriors' win total is 22
what would you attribute the difference to?
injury?
head coaching?
shortened season?
mark jackson might be the most unqualified, in over his head coach that i've ever seen.

can't co-sign this.
2nd game in a week almost blown because jackson wanted to foul up 3 with under 10 seconds left.
coach myers and coach malone are doing a great job though. at this point the team is winning in spite of him.
I 'm appalled at the fact GS is #2 in the Pacific
GS 5 straight wins all against Eastern Conference teams. Regardless of how you feel about their coach they have improved over the past 2 years
Not saying their champs or anything...or even playoff contenders, but they are starting to win games they would have lost three or 4 years ago.
That's how you start right?
RS,
3 of those were the pistons, wizards, and bobcats. so i'm not sold.
but i'm also willing to admit IF i'm wrong.
the warriors crucible is late january through early march. if they are still leading the PUSSific division then, they will have proved to me that i was completely wrong, that coach jackson deserves my full apology, and that they are a real team.
All I'm saying is that they are improving.
i can agree with that much already.
the warriors are doing a lot of things right (playing good individual and team D, sharing the ball on O, etc).
the most shocking part of it to me is that they're getting it done with klay thompson in the starting lineup.
Klay was the starter after MOnta got traded last season and averaged 18ppg after said trade. Thompson is the real deal. He can shot from anywhere and is adding a nice little crossover drive thats effective.
The Warriors are 4th in the NBA in rebounding without their second best rebounder, Andrew Bogut
All I'm saying is that they are improving. They're not world beaters or anything. I had no idea they were even leading their division
My statement is really just in reference to X saying that Jackson is in over his head. (and that Laurence 'The Brain' Frank isn't)
didn't frank start his career with a 13 game winning streak?
I understand your position but I can't agree that in one situation where a team does well, it's the coach and in another situation (frank in new jersey) the success is because of the players.
If that's true then it proves the point....Frank started out with a team that went to the NBA finals two years in a row. So it's safe to assume he'd start out on a high note....
Over the course of the next 4, 5, or 6 seasons he took this once very good team and turned them BACK into a perennial lottery team. Turns out that winning streak was the highlight of his Net tenure
Frank took a team that was a winner and over the course of time (and for whatever reasons) it became a loser
Jackson took over a team that was on the bottom rung of the league (for whatever reasons). Now they're in first place
however temporary their stay in first place is, you have to admit that they are improving and Jackson may not be
that in over his head after all
bump for warriors falling into 5th place in the WORSTern conference.
they may not let me down after all.
I said before if the team doesn't win 50 then they've underachieved and Coach Jackson has to go. 5 losses left![]()
