This talented team needs a leader someone who modifies the off. to get the best shot available rather than the 1st one available.
NO MOVEMENT
Deensively they are a disaster (mutt and jett show)
lip service to defensive sets lack of switching on the high screens coupled with no resistent in the paint and lack of reb. which translates to little or no hustle.
Bottom line this colection of shooters needs patience and a renewed interest in playing both ends of the court.
Coach Jackson has his work cut out for him.
My opinion Ellis is a liability where-ever he is on the court.
When he’s hot it offsets some of his bad behavior out there. Talent being wasted and it starts with MONTA a great shooter if he would only take the high % shot not evident thru the last 3 yrs???
David Lee needs to get more vocal and Jackson has got to kick ass with Curry and Wright.
Iv’e picked them to improve by 5 games a yr over the past 3 yrs and it is not even close like i could pick there improvement out of a hat of bad performances.
Just as a side bar iv’e been following the NBA/NBL since 1946. Ignorance was bliss on my part.
Please crack the whip on these selfish and under-achieving Ballers!!!!Being Kind!!!

Jackson will be on the hot seat if he cant get some wins and this is the reason, u dont hire a rookie head coach for a losing team, maybe if he was coaching a Middle of the Road team like The Orlando Magic were for Doc Rivers when he started, things could be different. Seriously a Rooie head coach takes over one of the worse teams in the league, seriously????? We get a coach last year who has some experience and we win 10 more games than the year before and we fire him! he didnt have a playoff team last year! No size and no toughness, and was able to win 10 more games than the year before. What a bad move by the Dubs! i dont care what ayone says. Yes I like Mark Jackson, he knows the game, but hasnt learned how to win basketball games! Hasnt had the experience of that sideline! Should have worked to be an assistant first and work his way up like guys such as Mike Broen, Tom Thibodeaux, Gregg Popovich and even Phil Jackson. These guys learned to be coaches in the NBA by sitting and being assistants

U know what Dave, since we pay him that much we need to make him earn that money and give him the ball in crunch time when we have the lead. We have to get some scoring in the low post for real! We have to becuz shooting all these jumpers in the fourth and tunring the ball over is not working, get the ball inside period!!!!

Lee wishes he made $15 million. He makes $11.6m this year which is below average for this type of player. Any player who gets any real playing time makes at least an average of $10m.

Agree with # 22 it was jackson’s desicion to isolate Ellis. trading stephen curry seems like the best thing to do since he has the most value on the team. He will probably never be an all-star, but still a good player. Trade him now and get a good player in return. the warriors must also find a way to get rid of Lee he is not a difference maker, but instead a role player. You shouldn’t pay a role player 15 million dollars a year.

MT – Of course, your counterpart, Mr. Know-it-all, Steinmetz, still thinks he’s right.
