Tactically, this team is a mess. Against bad teams, the team's superior passing makes this irrelevant, but against good defenses things get really ugly. The team reverts to isos despite not having particularly good isolation players. The bench unit hardly even looks like it's trying to run an offense at all, resulting in ugly turnovers as players who shouldn't be creating one-on-one have no choice but to try. The failure to install a second-unit offense is squarely on the coach.

Mark Jackson doesn't have the slightest clue as to when to call timeouts, and his management of rotations makes no sense at all. He either runs players into the ground, or goes full bench mob, which is entirely ineffective, when some simple changes (running Draymond more with the starters, Lee and Iguodala with the bench) would seem to be logical improvements.

Mark Jackson's calling card has supposedly been his ability to be a motivator, but the reality is that this team has not been showing up regularly. The slow starts are on the coach. How often have you ever seen a Popovich, Jackson, or Riley coached team just not show up for the first quarter? The Warriors already have multiple losses against teams they should beat simply because they couldn't be bothered to show up until the second quarter.

Wow! I did not know that.

don't know what that site is, but after reading a little seems the writer is on a one man crusade. Dosn't seem to be very credible.

Yeah I read this somewhere on Hoopsworld/Hoopshype earlier in the year. They have had their own issues w/ awful people in their FO - Rowell - so this wouldn't surprise me.

I'd hope Dolan would relieve Woodson and hire Jackson for at least the consistent 2 yr stint. Seriously though, I like Jackson and I hope this happens.

The "anybody but Woodson" stuff is typical for a team underachieving as we are. I like Jax and his cred before he got hired was "inexperienced" so its not hard to see why they are disappointed in him and the team. The rah-rah stuff lasts only so long.

Maybe let him get his experience and then come here and "master" his craft. Dolan will need to counter Nets hiring of Kidd so i would not put it past him to starphuch him. "Coming home". Bring Mully back to NYC while we at it. Can Walter Berry still play?

NOT Mills and Woodson

Mullins gave away a lot of insane contracts..He gave Adonis Foyle 50 mil, off the top of my head...
