    I think Tince was just trying to show how fans tend to over-react. However the examples he picked were ridiculous over-reactions and didn't remind me of anyone on here. I think almost all criticisms of Stotts on here are reasonable. Not always entirely fair, but in the reasonable range.

    I think the Kerr is wasting Stephs legacy takes are horrible ones. I like him as a coach.

    Last 30 years, 10 of 30 teams have won championships. One small market team.

    1) I wish we had 3 rings recently.

    2) Unless Blazers fans are different from all other fans, we could have 3 rings in the last 5 years and if we were hovering around .500, there would still be a group of people making the same takes Warriors fans are. Haven't found a fan base yet that doesn't complain about rotations, adjustments, and player utilization after some losses. Those fans think their complaints are legit, but don't take those same complaints other fans make as credible.

    We SHOULD be in a better position as a franchise. We have the best player BY FAR of either of the two rosters. We may have the 2nd best player in CJ according to some. I would hope we would be in better position. If not, good grief Charlie Brown.

    What if Stotts was given a shred of Kerr's roster talent?

    I believe Luke Walton has a better winning % than Kerr........ Coaches get too much credit and too much blame.

    This question has been asked and of course it never really gets answered.

    I never talk actual basketball? That's not your strongest take.

    I think I provide a lot more data and logic tests about many basketball issues than most around here. I welcome having my thoughts challenged.

    Comparing our situation to another teams situation is "whataboutism", get with the program! No comparisons allowed, only "eye tests" that you agree with.

    Good news about using that logic is that your opinion is always right and anyone who disagrees is wrong!
