So if mark Jackson isn’t fired, do the warriors win chips?

they would be going for a 3 peat right now

mark dont play. kerr sawft and his rotations suck

mike brown did a better job than kerr

kerr thinks hes funny playing jabronis in the playoffs while everyone else is shortening their rotation

 

[freeze]

nah, i dont think they win a chip with mark honestly.

 

[sohi 23]

They wouldn't have won 1 with MJax.

 

[Peep Game]

2008 Celtics really walk around like they were a dynasty **** is hilarious.

I think that’s cause a lot of people were fans of them before the Celtics and wanted to see them win. I was a big KG and Ray fan, so I loved it, but they really should have minimum won 2 titles.

If Mark Jackson was still there, there would probably still be minutes for David Lee and Jarrett Jack

Too much Bailey’s in your coffee this morning.

Defense SHOULD be their focus, IMO. Elfrid has shot the 3ball pretty well this year, albeit on only 2 attempts per game. Jackson's shooting could stand to be better, but I think he's going to be an elite slasher and can put the ball in the basket. Ayton can do pretty much everything offensively and his defense has improved over the course of the season.

I mean it's a good group, but a lot of IFs. I'll love to see it work out. Booker deserves some spotlight, the way he cooked Philly and single handedly won the game back in Dec/ Jan made me a fan.

Haven't seen that type of dominance in a long time.

Wiggins dont post workout vids listening to celine dion or bieber. His work ethic is bad.

What we're basically saying is that we can't prove or disprove anything, but players do have reputations for being gym rats even without social media. Wiggins does not have one so he's not even known for that.

 

[MajinZuub]

Mark Jackson was playing Klay in the post 90% of the time instead of running him off screens

 

[Moheezy]

Hasn't that been an issue since HS?

I think the issue was more of him being passive during game time. Don't know much about him outside of that

If Wiggins and the Wolves agree to an extension, the franchise is betting on his talent and work ethic. He is nowhere near a finished product, and for now he looks much better in highlights than in film study. Figuring out whether he will reach his potential involves guesswork, but given that Minnesota has seen how he approaches the game up close, no team can make a more educated guess.

Flip Saunders obviously saw the potential and thrust Wiggins to the top of the offensive pecking order as a rookie. Sam Mitchell seems to have never-ending positive words to say about him. The demanding Tom Thibodeau lauds his immense talent and work ethic. These thoughts seem to resonate throughout the NBA’s executives, and cast a confusing light on what Wiggins’ true value is.

"The first thing that stands out is his work ethic," Timberwolves teammate Kevin Garnett said of Wiggins. "He comes in, he's been really setting the tone with getting not just rhythm shots but things that I think hindered him last year.

“He has all the tools to be a terrific defender, by the way,” Butler said on The Bill Simmons’ podcast. “This is what playing both sides of the floor can get you. He is extremely talented on the offensive end, and I think he’s going to be just that talented on the defensive side, as well, as long as you lock into it. I think that he has that will and he wants to be great so he’s going to do it. And I’m excited to get with him just because I know how passionate he is about the game and just his drive and his work ethic and how he wants to win. When you have that as a young guy, you have it. You can’t really teach that, you just have it.”

Is this another case of NT pulling a narrative out of thin air again?

What exactly has Wiggins improved on since he’s been in the league?

If that's the case, then I hope it's only a matter of time. Canada needs Wiggins to not be Rudy Gay 2.0

Up until this season, his PPG was climbing

Some of us called this Wiggins regression the minute they made the move for Butler.

How in the world could you look at Mark Jackson and Steve Kerr with the same team and conclude that Mark Jackson is a better coach?

Boggles the mind

 

[BIG FISH]

Up until this season, his PPG was climbing

His usage went up too though.

 

[sohi 23]

My issue with Wiggins is that if he isn't scoring, he doesn't impact the game in other ways. This is a man who's averaging 4 rebounds and 2 assists a game for his career. That is not good enough.

Cornrows

even his cornrows aint f'n with gerald green.

As it should have. Like sohi 23 said. It’s the other things he hasn’t improved upon to go with the scoring
