Is there a coach that can get us over the hump?

    Our roster is stuck they way it is for a while. NO ONE, not even Morey can get off the CP3 contract.

    Mike D'antoni may or may not get fired, but if he does, could anyone fix this ****?

    Morey might finally realize this offense doesn't work. They design it to be fun, and the walking up the ball and late step back threes is more boring and WAY more stressful. This Golden state team isn't going anywhere for 3+ years (Even if KD leaves) Sigh....

    If not, we are doomed for 50+ win seasons with 1st/2nd round exits for the next 5-7 years. Some teams would take that, but I'd honestly rather rebuild.

    I don't see a coach looming that could fix this. Most of us wanted JVG 3 years ago, but is that still the case? Plus, could he help us BEAT GS?

    It’s not a coaching thing, so no.

    We should fire D’Antoni and hire Bzdelik. Am I right, Jeff?

    There are some people on this board that think you are the man for this job, Jeff, if it becomes available. I just hope that the Rockets don't lowball you on years like the Lakers did on Tyronn Lue.

    A coach that isn't afraid of getting fired by Harden and Co.. probably not. MDA doesn't really coach. I wish the NBA had coaches cameras that followed coaches around during the entire game. Literally every timeout he chills out unless a play needs drawn in which an assistant handles that. But adjustments throughout the game, that would upset Harden? Naw.

    Another coach might have played the guys we already had.

    This is honestly sadder and harder to bear than drafting 14th overall every year.

    Most of the elite ones won't touch Harden's play style with a ten foot pole.

    Coaches like Adleman would have heart attacks watching Harden pound the ball for 20 second s

    Unless that coach can also turn back time(Chris Paul), make Clint Capela not SOFT, transport regular season James Harden into the playoffs and oh yeah, tell Morey to **** off, I'm the coach. ;)

    It's not ENTIRELY a coaching thing. Yes

    But coaching is definitely a HUGE part.

    Steve Kerr had faith is Jonas Jerebko, Quinn Cook, Alfonso Mckinnie, Kevon Looney, and Jordan Bell. ALL SCRUBS, and they came through for him

    Mike D'antoni played Capela for God knows what reason, Took out CP3 when he was on fire, and let Gerald green erase our largest lead of the game.

    C'mon man
