Mr.11 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) Gotta give it to Kerr though. Even though GSW was already a 50+ win team, to improve that win total by 17 and become the dominant force that no one expected them to be in the West is very impressive. He obviously learned some things from Pop. That being said, I haven't seen GSW in many tight, one possession games (since they're usually winning by double digits) in which strategy and execution have to be just about perfect.We've won several games that way. Heck, I'd say about half of our wins in the postseason have been by five or less points, including three straight against the Wizards that were decided by a combined 9 points. If any team is battle tested and has shown late game execution, it's us. Edited May 17, 2015 by JerseyNo12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotLantaFalcon Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 how great would it be if we swept the Cavs? It's not happening .. ? ... but EVERY news story about it would be a 10 second segment showing nothing but the anchors with their mouths wide open, and then they'd move on to the next story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slamee101 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Watching that "Pierce 3 pointer waved off" clip in that link continues to give me so much joy. I can't wait to get back to DC on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thanat0s Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Doc is a very very good coach. A disciple of Pops topHe's good, but I'll take Bud! And honestly, even though I think a Hawks Clips finals would be fun, I have trouble believing they can get past GS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Homer the Brave Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 That was when the Hawks were winning, after that, hawks were not the same after injuries. With the way hawks are limping to the finals and barley getting by, the media and probably the nba does not want to see this hawks team in the finals.This Hawks team went from a fluid motion team that was enjoyable to watch, to a team that has learned to win in ugly fashion. It ain't pretty, but it has served us well in the playoffs thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AF89 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 If Clippers can beat San Antonio they should have a puncher's chance against GSW. Got to overcome a game 7 on the road first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHEC Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I consider myself an optimist and believe we can beat the Cavs, but GS will be very very tough.They are a better version of us. Better defensively, and offensively with good ball movement.When hawks were 100%, hawks showed they were the better team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngbloodz Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 When hawks were 100%, hawks showed they were the better team. they showed that in one game. And GS preceded to torch Atlanta without Klay in Oakland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sui_Generis Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 That's our edge. None of the remaining coaches compare to ours.Kerr is a great coach. Better than Bud even. You are a major homer. I'm a Rockets fan but I see a slim chance the Rockets get past GS. Slim chance the Hawks get past the Cavs even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sui_Generis Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 When hawks were 100%, hawks showed they were the better team.That was one game. It happens in the NBA. It wasn't a seven game series. Let's not get crazy and let blind homerism guide our thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sui_Generis Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Kerr better than bud? Yeah..... No.Typical Hawks homer response. Kerr led his squad to the best record in the West. And NBA overall.

Yes Im pretty sure their record has nothing to do with the fact they have 2 top 20 players on their team and 2 top 10 defenders....Bud has no superstars.His best player is a PF who he taught how to shoot and handle.His best defender is a player who shot 30% from 3 before Bud got his hands on him. He shot 40% this season and can actually dribble the ball further than 3 feet. His backup PG was a foreign kid that was so incredibly terrible he couldnt even see the floor one year ago. Now hes made plays against every top player in the game. He turned Korver from a part time player that couldnt defend into a 35 minute player who is a good defender and a focal point of the offense. Hes also one of the best schematic coaches in the game. Again, what has Kerr done? Taken arguably the most talented team in the NBA to a good record? Big whoop. Mark Jackson had 98 wins in GS in two years..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't easy.And Bud turned an awful team into a great team. Thats much harder. Again, Spoelstra is not a good coach but he has a ring and a lot of wins because of an epically talented team. Steph Curry has proven everywhere he has been that he will win no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
