    The Hornets just fired Byron Scott after his 3-6 start. Do you think he could right the ship in Golden State and do a better job than Nellie?

    Any coach who will put use AR at the 4 next to Beans will do a better job than Nellie.

    I think we might need a hard ass coach like Byron Scott right about now to get the locker room under control and get rid of all the problem players.

    Oh God, how I wish we cold get him as our coach. Knowing the front office, it won't happen.

    I dunno. Not that Scott isn't a good coach, but this sounds like what PHX did last season with bringing in Terry Porter. I don't think a defensive and discipline minded coach would work with our group, especially after Nelson. I don't think he's a fit. Guys like Larry Brown or Jeff Van Gundy would not work with our team. Guys like Mike D'Antoni, Alvin Gentry, Flip Saunders and Keith Smart would be a fit, i.e. offensive minded coaches who let the players play. I'd rather see a coach who works a lot of pick n' roll. I like former coach Rick Adelman, too. He's changed from the way he used to be with set lineups and he emphasizes defense and runs a motion offense.

    I think coach replacement wouldn't work because the ownership is the problem and they'd just set the head coaches up to fail like they've done in all the years passed.

    It's "scatologicaly" analogous to trying to take a dump with the toilet seat down, but your pants still all the way up. We ain't gonna crap decently unless all the right conditions are in place. For the warriors, finally having good conditions means we get rid of the ownership that is suffocating this franchise, we replace them with good ownership that knows who to hire to get the right coaches and players for us. When you got Chris Cohan and Robert Rowell, who are the two largest turds that won't flush, nothing will make our beloved franchise stop stinking year after year.

    They must go. They must not plug up the works with their crappy product and selling hope. It's time for them to finally get out of the butt and go to where all the rest of the sht belongs.

    I don't think Byron Scott is the answer, but I do have to believe that ANY coach would be better than Nelson right now. It's getting worse by the day. No, it's not all his fault, but he's being actively destructive in so many ways I just want him out immediately before he drives every player away from GS. We know Jackson isn't happy, who cares about him, but I don't think it'll be long before Monta, Curry, Randolph, and Morrow start looking for a way out.

    I am not sure if Byron Scott would want to be part of this franchise.

    But I would not mind having him as the head coach of this team. He's been a good coach for the Nets and Hornets. I never thought he had much help in the front office from either of those teams and that he did a very good job at overachieving in those cities. I don't know much about the details of what problems he brings. But his record looks very, very good. Maybe he is not good at maintaining long term relationships? His team's seem to rise at a fast pace and fall even quicker. But really, looking at the Hornets roster, they just lacked a lot it seemed, at least to me. Which is why I chose LeBron 1st in the fantasy draft, and not Chris Paul. Who does he have to dish the ball to? How he still gets so many assists is amazing to me.
