The team that fired their successful coach last year, because, “a Christian and a black man,” wouldn’t be appropriate for when they move to San Francisco.

Mark Jackson was fired because he was combative with the owners and even his own assistant coaches, not to mention that he was weak on play calling.

Jackson was fired because he was on a different page than management. Kerr has taken the team to the next level....

That remark is out of line. Obviously Kerr got the team to next level for whatever reason when Jackson was unable to do so. It’s just simple competition. It’s not personal, not racist, and certainly not anti-Christian. Jeeze there’s enuff poop in this world without making this stuff up. Go hug someone that you love and try to have a better outlook on life.

You are far off my man. Jackson took over after an ownership change that made every right move to make the team better. If it was still Cohan owning the team, Jackson’s record would be no different. His coaching on offense was a joke. Isolation plays were the norm instead of efficient ball movement. The Dubs lead the league in assists this year and that comes from coaching. He gets some credit for emphasis on defense but the players Myers drafted (Klay, Green, Festuz) or traded (Igoudala, Bogut) were bull dogs on defense.

Kerr has been classy throughout giving Jackson his due. Jackson has been bitter all season on his broadcasts and the ultimate slight was saying Harden was better than Curry. We sure did find out about that didn’t we?
