I also heard rumors of some players complaining about Jackson favoritism towards Curry and other players, don't know how true that is because it came from some random interview with some random broadcaster.. But I also think it's a shame, the warriors did great this year..

Favoritism? That would be a dumb thing to complain about. Curry is their best player, that is why he is favored. Anyone who was complaining about that is dumb. Favoritism is part of basketball. That is why there are starters, rotation players, and bench riders.

I dont know about you guys, but I like Kerr.

unfortunately he is practically a white mark jackson that knows the triangle offense...
So I dont really know whats going to happen

I think David Lee is the best player for golden state. I think mark jackson was changing the team to much that why he got fired. It angered the owner. He spent a lot of money for lee and bogut and a few others// I would be mad as well, might would have fired him too at the end of the day. Curry is a awesome player but I don't think he worth losing other talented player revenue value for. Its just a sad thing going on there.. It reminds me of the piston old coach, almost 60 wins in a season and still fired.

I think kerr was a shooter and Golden state is a shooting team almost. Perfect fit.

Not to disagree wit your point, but I think favoritism is bad karma when the owner has spent million for other players and the coach pull them away from the proper roles they are paid to play in. Sometime the owner decide who is the team leader.

Your argument is invalid because David Lee, 1. Is not their best player and 2. Was their starting PF who played a crap ton of minutes along with Curry. Bogut also played a lot of minutes for a constantly injured big man until he completely destroyed his body for the season. What player did Mark Jackson not play in their proper role?

Yeah, you are right. Can't believe what I read above.
DLee is a very important piece for GSW for sure, but for me the best and most important player on this roster is Steph. Especially there is no real backup for him. The best PG after Steph imo is Iggy, but that creates another issue on SF. Last year there would have been an easy replacement by Barnes. But for me he was a real disappointment this season.
Of course, it's nothing to worry about, because he is still a very young talented player that had some trouble with injuries and maybe his new role with Iggy joining the team last year.
For Lee there were more alternatives and he still got almost 35 minutes per game. Bogut was struggling with injuries all season long. I think he will always be limited with playing time due to his injury history for the rest of his career.
So there must have been another reason for firing Jackson or the owner doesn't have the slightest idea whats going on in his club.

But David Lee was a Gator and Curry wasn't, so 1. your wrong and 2. see 1. and furthermore 3. any incorrect grammers or spellings in this "list" are intentional for parody value only.

D lee was not playing his proper role as leader of the team, M Jackson made Curry the leader of the team. btw you missed my point by a long shot .the owner runs the team and if he spends any money on these players then he has the say who is the leader Not mark Jackson. D lee is best player on the team, not curry.

This is not about eye test who is better. because we can see Curry is better ,but the owner wants Lee to lead the team not Curry. Mark Jackson was fired because he didn't do what owner told him to do. Winning or not.

I think its a bit silly at the same time, I can understand the owner side. It his money and not Jacksons, so what he wants .M Jackson should please him. Not do what he wants to do.

What? No. D Lee has never been the star or flat out leader of a team. Even before Steph Curry became the leader of the team, Monta Ellis was running the show, not D Lee. You make no sense when you state that clearly you can see Curry is better, but the owner wants Lee to run the team. The owner wants all his players to be productive, which they are. Obviously there were problems between the management and the coach but he was not fired because the owners wanted D Lee to be getting the final shot in the 4th quarter and leading his team to victory. That would be idiotic. That is clearly Steph Currys speciality.

I think you dont understand basketball your speaking from your heart( fan opinion with passion for the sport) rather than business perspective. Curry was with the Warriors longer than Lee what did they ever produce?. The owner went and got D Lee for a reason, once lee go to the warriors, they went to the playoffs.

We can say M. Jackson made Curry better. yes we can make that arugement. But D Lee was already better that is to not debate. As far as taking the last shot that's a passion debate. Its doesn't say who is better. Many players take the last shot that don't make them better than everyone on the team S.Kerr took the last over Jordan in nba final does that make him better. That a odd perspective and is silly to say who better. Its a drawn up play nothing more or less.. I think you need to learn the buisnesss side before you bring on a fan perspective. If you can read I said 3 times Curry is better, The owner went and got D.Lee and these other guys for a reason.

He wanted to Lee to lead because curry was not taking them anywere, He was there longer than bogut and lee. iggy as well . This is not a debate of passion of who Is better and blah , blah. The owner paid good money for D Lee and bogut iggy and the warrior got better. The question is why didn't they produce to the owner liking.? Some would say d lee should have all star this year with his numbers 18ppg and 11 reb a game which is not bad in the west. Its what owner say for the team sometime not the coach.

Regardless of the eye test... Like I said before I think it pretty sad what happening on in Golden state. The firing and trade rumors too. Its the owner team and M . Jackson didn't please the owner with the player roles to his liking.
