This was posted on Twitter last night by a national NBA writer for the Washington Post



"Warriors lose 128-119. Fall to 31-6 on the season. Now 0-5 against San Antonio, Cleveland, Memphis, Houston. Memphis ends game on 49-21 run."


So they sign KD and now can't beat the better teams in the NBA? I keep saying that Steve Kerr is not a good coach.

The first year in Miami, Lebron & friends were something like 18-18 for the early part of the season.

Integrating Durant will take time and they learned a HARD lesson last year about pushing for regular season wins.

Before anyone argues about that again look at minutes played for various starters. Thanks

The "Kerr isn't a good coach" argument is dumb.
He's a very good coach, the warrior have the best record in the NBA, after gutting half their team, adding a very high end offensive piece and trying to incorporate all the new pieces into a system that works smoothly for everyone.

We're not even half way through the season!
The east coast fans are all about hating on the warriors. Grasping at straws, trying to knock at any chance. Sounds like jealousy or fear. Praying the warriors DONT get it together, because the rest of the league will be in trouble.

(Side note, I do hope you're right and they don't come out of the west, because that leaves my Spurs open to making the finals)

Any NBA coach who allows his team to lose a 3-1 in the NBA Finals cannot be considered a very good coach. Kerr had 3 chances to win the title and the team lost three in a row. So that means he was unable to make adjustment and come up with a game plan. Plus he still has not figured out how to beat the Cavs and is 0-4 in the last 4 games against them. So please tell me what he is doing in the past 7 months to make him a very good coach?

Also if the spurs get the 1 seed the warriors can forget reaching the Finals

They might win. But I have serious reservations. Whenever they build up a big lead (last night, vs. Cleveland), they sit around the perimeter chucking up horrible 3s. They don't even try to penetrate. Bad coaching, out of control players. Plus Draymond has foul problems in the playoffs; Curry, Klay, and KD choke in big situations; their bench is awful (I think they got outscored like 50-10 last night, and something similar against Cleveland), and their defense was depleted to bring in Durant. I see them losing to San Antonio. They're going to get thoroughly outcoached, and KD and Curry will have to be outstanding to get to the finals.

Seems like the coach is too stupid to tell his team this once his team is up 15 or more in the 4th qtr

"we can slow the game down now since we have the lead so we don't need to shoot 3's just use up most of the shot clock and get a good basket each possession."
