Stotts just gave one of the worst answers I’ve ever heard in a postgame.

He did change it though. But his change was the stupidest, illogical change you can do.

 

Yeah, Terry, that was one fucking game. Sometimes superstars get hot, like Dame going off for 50 against OKC. But you know what? I can damn well guarantee Curry will have multiple games like this if we keep this shit up. Just because he torched Houston doesn't mean we should just throw in the fucking towel and not even try. Good fucking lord....

 

Well the playoff run was fun while it lasted...

 

Want to explain Klay then Terry?

Most coaches would put their best defenders on the other team's best players to prevent those players from getting a rhythm or getting hot but Stotts waits until after those said best players are already in their groove to put his best defenders on them because Terry likes to challenge himself apparently. Stotts just has to make winning games harder then they have to be.

I am flabbergasted as to why.

 

Curry wasn't even "hot", he was just getting practice shots and he's a great shooter anyways so....

 

That's just stupid talk.

 

Stotts finding the most brainless way to say "Curry's a great player no matter how you defend him."

Sure--but you still defend him. When you're letting a single, simple screen break him wide open, you're one step away from not even putting a defender on him at all.

 

We've all criticized the fuck out of him in every game we lost in the first 2 series..yet here we are. So I'm not gonna say shit after losing 1 game to the world champs in a 7 game series

 

You might as well just sit down on the floor and only get back up after the ball goes through the hoop and start your offensive set.

 

If there was malpractice/gross negligence in coaching, tonight's defensive strategy would qualify for that.

 

If a lawyer represented you in that manner, you could sue for a mistrial.

 

Stupid is as a stupid does (or doesn’t)

 

Oh that's right we lost so we get overreaction posts for the next 48 hours. Fun.

 

Game 5 against OKC Dame goes off for 50 and we were still down 15 with 7 minutes left.

Game 3 against Denver it took Harkless being unable to play to get a fresh Hood in the game, not his own decision.

Game 6 it took CJ, Dame, and Hood all having a big game to win.

Game 7 it took CJ going crazy.

 

Do you think we should be winning without any of our players playing well?

 

LMAO, the question before this one Dwight Jaynes asks him about his pick and roll defense and Stotts literally rolls his eyes before answering.

You can't make this up. Stotts is completely wilting under the bright lights.

Sure, I will fully admit I'm in meltdown mode but I'm just matching the same meltdown of an epic failure our coach had tonight.

 

No, obviously you need players to step up. Stotts doesn't really change our offense much when things get tough though. It requires players like Dame and CJ to basically create something out of nothing in order to overcome it. Sometimes that works but it doesn't mean that's the easiest or best route.

There are numerous examples of this:

Continuing to run pick and roll against the Pelicans last year.

Throwing out the same starting lineup that everyone can see is just not the right mix right now.

Not being willing to throw multiple pick and roll defenses at teams. If you always react the same way to a pick and roll it gives the opposing team a huge advantage because they know what is going to happen when they run it. No joke, our defensive strategy tonight is probably the worst I've seen by an NBA team in my entire life of almost 40 years. I wish I was overreacting but even the announcers talked about it for a large portion of the game.

 

I've been asking to have multiple pick and roll schemes during each game for the entire 7 years of Stotts.

I just don't get running the same coverage every time when Curry is 9-15 on threes. If we blitzed sometimes, fell back sometimes, trapped sometimes, and hedge and recovered sometimes then Curry would have to take an extra second coming off the pick to think about what was coming at him. Instead all he had to do to get a wide open three was call for a pick and boom the guard got screened and the big was 10 feet away.

In the Denver and OKC series we got away with it because those teams missed a crap ton of open threes in those series. You can't get away with doing that against the Warriors. Everyone knows that except for apparently Stotts.
