    I don't like the term 'fire'. It doesn't have to be like that.

    How about terminate his contract? Mutually agree to part ways? Buy him out? Send him on a very long fishing trip?

    Just as long as he and Olshey are replaced before next season.

    Bottom line is the team needs new direction.

    :cheers:

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Yeah, "firing" him sounds too harsh, too unfriendly. Let's just terminate him.

    But instead of a horse's head we'll use Melo.

    But I did reply to myself intentionally.

    I agree with this 100% and Im not sure that all (including me) in here looking for huge change with GM & Coach will get unless this;
    GS Warriors new President....of course he would say this about ownership but I buy it.

    "I'll steal one line from Rick," Schneider said. "I've heard him say this so many times but it's just well-said. There's three things that you need to be a successful sports organization: Ownership, ownership and ownership.

    As long as we are owned by a conglomerate in Seattle, profitability and being a playoff team with fan support, will be acceptable and meet their objective & subjective performance criteria.

    I think Kerr is massively overrated. How hard is it to make the NBA Finals with four US Olympians in the starting line-up.

    Luke Walton won a hundred games in a row the year they won 73 games and Kerr somehow botched a 3-1 lead in the Finals.

    He’s struggling to win now with Green, Curry, and two #1 overall picks in his starting line-up. Yes, I know Wiseman is now out for the season but Kerr still has a two-time MVP leading his team.

    That's certainly one theory. Doesn't explain the consistent big leads in games 2-4 and not being able to hold onto them.

    If Kerr had beat the Raptors (yes with injuries) that would have cemented that he's an above average coach. But he didnt and look what he's doing now?
    Listen guys its like spring board diving in the Olympics when it comes to judging coaching in the NBA, scored on a degree of difficulty! If you have a super team of players it doesn't make the coach a super coach if they win the whole enchilada. However, if a guy like Utah's coach leads SLC to the ship, now thats impressive coaching.

    How does the defense not being consistent enough when running other schemes not explain our lack of consistency?

    The dude won 73 games and a championship with a starting lineup of Steph, Klay, Barnes, Draymond, and Bogut... and he's not an above average coach? Hm.

    Wiggins and Wiseman are below-average role players.

    It does explain us consistently getting a lead and then losing it. Inconsistency would produce random results, not nearly the same chain of events 3 games in a row.
