    How is Kerr better than Spolestra?

    I like Spolestra a lot but I don't see how you can rate Kerr below anyone but Pop and Carlisle. The Warriors took off when he took over.
    That just shows how shit Mark Jackson was.

    He is slightly better than Magic ever was as a color guy - though nowhere near the same class as Bill Walton.

    I don't recall Spolestra blowing a 3-1 lead. Both have 2 rings. Oakland was built and waiting. Spolestra had to make the Heat work on the fly.

    It's hardly clear cut. Walton and Brown have higher winning percentages with the Warriors

    WTF'd for pretending that Walton's and Brown's success as interim coaches wasn't mostly impacted by coaching in Kerr's system or without all the behind the scenes work Kerr did.

    I'm a big Spo fan and I'd put him right there with any current coach but Pop.

    People act like the Warriors invented small ball but it was the Heat playing Battier at power forward years ago. The systems coach Spo put in place on offense and defense were brilliant. I've never seen an entire defense turn it up quite like those trapping Miami teams could and Lebron was efficient as possible on offense.

    Durrant won a natty.

    Winners win.

    And the starting 5s were awesome. They didn't need to go anywhere because they had Red and Jerry West, two of the all time best ever GMs.

    People forget that if not for Jerry West, Kevin Love would be a Warrior and Klay klay could be anywhere


    This. West was awesome as LA GM. He is responsible for a lot of Golden State success. Lets see how he does for the clippers. That might be his hardest situation yet.

    He won't live long enough to see any results with the Clippers. Griffin is about as reliable as Derek Rose and Paul is a great loser who can beat up on Portland and Denver but either gets hurt or flails against any team with a pulse despite beating San Antonio once.

    LeBron has been much more efficient in his 2nd Cleveland show than He was in MIa Spoelstra had twice the team that Lue had, and Lue has a natty. And Lue is an average coach. When you're relying on Korver, old man Jefferson, the loser who used to play with the Knicks as your bench, you're fucked.

    But the main difference between last year and this year is that Trystan Thompson is a Kardashian now. The one game that He bothered to give effort in, they won.

    Disagree. I think these Cavs teams are quite a bit better than the Heat were.
