When Erman took over the Golden State defense, he transformed a 26th-ranked unit to 11th in 2012-13, and ultimately third in 2013-14.
Excellent hire. Consider this. The Warriors were number 1 in pace and number 1 in defense. Boston was number 5 in pace, and put together an above average defense without a rim protector. Also when Alvin was with the Clips, they were 7th in pace, 9th in defense. Do you see a pattern here? We are hiring coaches who have been around a pace/motion oriented system yet can still mount an effective defense. This is huge.
Everything I've read about him points to this being exactly what we need.
It's on now...we ready!!
I'm a grinder
He's got quite the resume for one so young too. What is he, like 39 or 40?
Could be possibly coach in waiting as well? Is he going to be the lead assistant?
Having good players on the roster makes everyone look good. If you have length at most positions that certainly helps.
I never (and I mean never) listen to anything Stephen A Smith does, but yesterday I was driving the rental (had a car crash two weeks back), and there surprisingly wasn't anything on XMso I gave him a listen. Have any of you guys listened to his tin foil hat thinly veiled racist radio program? Dude mentioned Gentry for 4 minuets and then crapped all over the league for guys like Johnson (but more staunchly) and Jackson not coaching. He sounded like he wanted heads to roll for Jackson being out of a job. Somebody mentioned Jackson might have to take an assistant job in order to become a coach again, and Stephen A went off on the caller for 3 minuets about how, " Mark Jackson makes more money at ESPN than an NBA assistant makes. He isn't going to take a pay cut to be an assistant coach. He has done to much to have to start over as an assistant coach."
All I could think about during that retarded diatribe was, "If I am some top performing hedge fund manager who is placed out of commission for throwing fiduciary duty out the window (for example), and now I am stuck on Scottrade making great money but I want to go back to being a hedge fund manager, I probably will have to take a pay cut in order to get back to where I want to go.
I listen all the time when I'm bored in the car. It is non stop from Stephen A and if anyone calls in to say something he just freaks out and completely dismisses anything they have to say. I have heard people say Skip agrees with him and that is not true at all. If you ever watch Skip when this topic gets brought up he kinda just respects Stephen A and doesn't really address the topic because of what would happen if he did. The guy is completely out of line on this topic. I don't have an oz of racism in me and what he says shouldn't even be allowed on the radio.
That's not what it said. It was saying they targeted him before hiring Gentry. Still, the first thought that cross my mind was, "is Gentry on board with this guy as his associate head coach? I'm certain he would have had to have discussed it and been good with it during negotiations.
I'm black, and I can't stand Stephen A.
I feel you!
Stephen A Smith is fake! He's a corporate clown, being used to bring controlled controversy to ESPN! HE'S a company man! Uncle Tom in the black community eyes! Well over 60% of blacks don't agree with him and are very much a shame of him on his views showing the world of his ignorance, in which on some cases he says he's speaking for the black community! That's a lie, bcuz we don't agree and we don't like your sell out azz! He's a snitch and he never stand behind a black athlete (s) who are fighting for their rights against their league/cooperation/bosses in any type of disagreement! He's a fake clown on tv, which ESPN and other major corps know they can control.
Stephen A tells the black community they can go kick rocks, he ain't apologizing to them for nothing. Saying it'll be a cold day in hell before he apologize to us in the black community. BUT, Michelle Beadle made his dumb Tom tail apologize in front of the nation on national television!

What did Michelle Beadle say?
Speaking of racism, any word on Monty? SaS was pounding the table for him when we let him go.
