Jesse I have to totally agree with u on that. Man that is so true! His approach was wrong, when I went to the open practice it seemed like he was trying to make fun of his guys by saying they didnt know what defense was, that is not coaching!I wish we had kept Keith Smart, he knew how to get his guys to play hard for him. And he worked his lineup well.

Mark Jackson is eerily similar to Mike Singletary. How many ways did Sing find ways to lose close games and the Warriors are doing the exact same thing. Jackson even talks like him. If there is a Harbaugh out there for the Warriors, they need to find him fast.

Lin is def not backing down from D. Williams tonite. And BDavis doing what he does best…chucked a 3 pointer on his first possession.

If you can’t make 70% of your free throws, you shouldn’t be in the NBA. 70% is a low C average. Bedrins is shooting 20%. He is 1 out of 5 for the year.

Yeah,I like that hesitation first step Lin does-then shows all his quickness.
Lin in the offseason hired a coach to work on his game. Can you imagine Curry or Ellis or Beidrens working all off season with a coach to improve their games and weakness’s? Beidrens wont even try to improve his free throws..Monta doesnt take any risks getting to a rebound..on and on..

Lin can drive and dish even though he is not exceptionally fast but with a quick first step and some twisting of his body, Lin can get to the basket and score inside. Lin can also dribble and drive with both hands. Watch videos of him driving left and right.

Curry can’t do that and that’s the real problem. Westbrook can get the basket. Durant did it last night several times.

Lin has better court vision and ball handling skills too. Teams are already double-teaming Lin. Do you think teams will double-team Curry anytime soon ?

Curry is an undersized SG who can handle a little bit but asking him to be the lead dog is a FAIL. EPIC FAIL.

We had these discusssions before when AR, BW, JRich, Murg, Dunleavy were here. Overvauling your own players will kill you. Lacob thought he could build around Curry, Ellis and Lee. Wrong.

Curry, Ellis and Lee are providing GSW with almost all the offense. Fine. Add Udoh and McGuire for defense, and we might win some of these close games.

At the end of the Memphis game, Rudy Gay made a series of incredible shots. On the Warriors’ last defensive possession, with GSW up by one, Jackson put McGuire into the game. He covered Gay so well that Gay had to put up an awkward clunker; but D Wright froze and did not block out. We lose, again.

McGuire should have been in the game for the last three minutes, at least. He is athletic enough to play SF; and he’s and big and strong enough to provide the Warriors with a physical advantage at one position at least. Jackson has called him the team’s best defender. SO USE HIM.

Hey Gav, where was Curry when Ellis was sitting the entire 4th quarter in the Portland game?
