Is luke walton really that good of coach,or better yet, was kerr the real reason behind GSW success. Looks to me like those guys just grew together since mark jackson, and coaching has very little to do with their success. Curry has turned into the best player on the planet (the humblest super star i ever seen) and everybody around him can shoot and play D almost as good as he can. Those guys play so well together, and the chemistry is through the roof.
Probably because they don't play 12 guys per night(even in blowouts), or have a different 6th man every night.
That team may eclipse the 72 win bulls record
GSW are so good, even FireWoodson would have them 10-0 right now
Without a coach they would be 10-0.
I think Fisher is using so many guys to build the team chemistry and what not. I really doubt he does this the 2nd half of the season and he probably tapers off after another 3-4 weeks.
It will be interesting to see if Walton gets a head coaching job after this. It worked for Gentry.

No Firewoodson would have them 15-0. Preseason wins would count.
Yeah, I'd be interested to see what Kerr would do with a not so good team in an organization that's been dysfunctional for several years now. Quit, maybe?

Have said something similar to what you are saying about Fisher's rotation...he's looking for the right combination, and he has not yet found it. With Aflalo, and even Amundson back he finally has all of his pieces, and he can begin to figure out how to arrange them.
Seem to recall something in an article or a tweet from the beginning of last season where Curry's importance as a leader/virtual coach was mentioned. Almost sounded like he was running things.
My own feeling is that using the GS team as a model for winning might not necessarily make any sense because they have Curry, and to a lesser extent Green, who is sometimes like a half-court Point PF, and I'm not sure there are any duplicates of these two.
You have nobody in the NBA who can do what Curry does in terms of accuracy and how/where he gets off his shots, and Green is the assist and rebound leader on the team, and is almost leading them in shot blocking.
Maybe Kerr's biggest role would be to work with them defensively, but even then, you have to have the guys who can and will play the D.

He already quit b4 taking the job.....He had 1 foot in the door!

Ended up taking a job with a 51 win playoff team that already had the young player nucleus he is still using.
Somewhat of a dream job for any new coach, I would think.

Oh, he would've been a foul to turn down the GS offer. And this was before the championship run. It made since on all levels, as far as professional, family, talent and support around him from owner to GM.

I still think he would have done a much better job at running the team, because he would have mixed a little of MDA's system with the triangle, which is what he has set up with GSW. With fisher having no experience whats so ever, he's job became 10x harder

I'd still like to see what he could do if, for some reason, this Warriors roster suddenly experienced some drastic shakeup and it was no longer the same team Mark Jackson coached into near perfection. Sorry, but I'm not going to anoint this guy as a great coach just because he stepped into the perfect situation. All he's shown me so far is that he's not incompetent. Big whoop. The only truly smart thing I've seen him do was when he replaced Bogut with Lee for that short stint, to try and generate a spark. But that's pretty much it.

1) What "ingredients" would he have used to do this "mixing?"
2) What experience did Kerr have coaching before he took the job at GS? Do tell!
