    IT'S THE ADJUSTMENTS!

    Looking back on last nights game, although I detest the GS Warriors but it's more than just about KD, Steph, Klay and the players....IT'S THE COACHING TOO!

    Kerr made a simple ADJUSTMENT, in starting Cousins, that gave them a boost and caused them to win last nights game. And I look back on The Rockets series and can't help but to wonder, what adjustments did MDA try to make , once the Rockets fell behind in the series or what ADJUSTMENTS have he ever made in a Playoff Series?

    I don't think MDA would have went back to a player who just came back to bench player who just came back from injury, let alone START HIM in a Playoff game.

    YOU CAN'T JUST ROLL THE BALL OUT AND LET THE PLAYERS PLAY.....YOU HAVE TO CAOCH TOO

    HEY STUPID..when the Rockets fell behind 0-2 in the series they began to play Shumpert heavy minutes, and by game 4 Capela began to sit more in favor of ultra small lineups.

    End result, Rockets won both games.

    We should've used our x all star player returning from injury against warriors

    you gotta at least admit kerrs role players almost always exibit greatness...perhaps its the confidence they get knowing the refs are on their side?

    I agree with this. But when the OP starts off with "hey stupid" and leads off with that as their example I didn't feel like giving any benefit of the doubt to them or take it too serious

    It's because they double/trap curry and that leaves role players wide open

    I think Kerr is overrated. He lost game 1.

    The one key adjustment that he omitted was not going after Curry/Clay feet after attempting a 3pt'r! He saw what everyone else saw but decided to play possum!! You hit me below the belt... ok the first chance I get I'm going to kick a field-goal with your balls!!!! That first game Kerr had a strategy and Pringles did nothing to stop the madness!! :mad:

    You poke my eyes I'm going to gouge yours out!!!

    Sure except for when they don't - remember when, way back in the heady days of April, the Warriors had lost 2 straight to Houston and people where bemoaning their lack of depth after the big 4 and how they had nobody like Rivers or whatever.

    Life is fickle.

    I can't stand Kerr for multiple reasons, but you're correct.. He made some adjustments not only to the beginning of the game but also at half time...

    He had Cousins bring the ball down which freed up his shooters... Changed his defense on who was guarding who....

    This series will be won by the coaches and their adjustments... Now it's Nick Nurse time...

    Steve Kerr is given Curry, Klay, KD, Dray, DMC, Iggy, Livingston, Looney, Cook, Bogut

    Then he makes "adjustments" and is a GENIUS!!

    Don't get me wrong... I actually think Kerr probably doesn't get enough credit. HOWEVER, what I think he doesn't get enough credit for is principally (i) the first 3-6 months of offseason work the year he was hired, and (ii) his handling of Draymond.

    Kerr just adjusted from his dumb strategy in game 1 imo

    Hey dumbass your hot take was already expired 3 weeks ago. Everybody knows Dumbtoni needs to make adjustment, not just posters here even sports analyts have already mentioned it multiple times. You need to make a new thread everytime something happens in the finals? SMH!

    When having more all stars than every other team makes a coach look like a genius. Luke Walton was also a genius before joining the Lakers
