“Warriors can’t go to the finals without KD” like they ain’t been there twice without KD… aight bro. Keep that same energy when we drop your favorite team off.

Warriors lost and that sucks and all, but I’m way more mad that there are Raptor fans cheering on injury really feeling themselves the way they are… keep that same energy.

Thizz is what it is.

But if we had CP3 headass!

I turned the game off as soon as I saw that shit. I’m weak right now

We Believe.

PEEP THE JERSEYS THOUGH!

Real Warrior fans would never disrespect this Jersey, this when they really got it out the mud.

Little small doodle to celebrate some NBA record-breaking from tonight! 14 three pointers for my fave~

After the most hectic summer the NBA has ever seen, the 2017-18 season is finally here.

And with that, the NBA staff at USA TODAY Sports takes a look ahead to the newest campaign with our annual semi-scientific record projections.

We have the Golden State Warriors leading the league in wins, again, after another stellar offseason. If they hit the 65-win plateau this year, that would be four consecutive seasons doing so (they became the first team in NBA history to do so three years in a row in 2016-17).

The Knicks are losers again after Phil Jackson failed to land his best and only head coaching candidate.

Steve Kerr just orchestrated a masterful coup, landing his first coaching gig as the head man of the Golden State Warriors.

It’s a prime situation, one that will 1) provide the economic security of a five-year, $25 million contract (more than he ever made during his playing career), 2) offer all the firepower of a roster with a strong core and the flexibility of future draft picks, 3) keep him close to his San Diego-based family and last and most importantly, 4) keep him far away from the circus that is the New York Knicks.

Coaching the Warriors is the absolute right move, and as great as it will be for Kerr, that’s how absolutely awful his decision is for the Knicks’ future.

I can’t remember a time when losing out on a coach felt this disheartening. Kerr represented many things to me, and indeed, an entire franchise struggling to reach respectability. He seemed a perfect fit with new president Phil Jackson, having benefited firsthand from Jackson’s coaching philosophies and adopted them as his own. He would have been a winner walking into a franchise of losers, having played for only top teams in the Chicago Bulls and Gregg Popovich’s San Antonio Spurs. He had the savvy and connections from his years as general manager of the then-revolutionary Phoenix Suns. Surely pairing him with Jackson would be the first major step in an organizational turnaround.

With those two at the helm, the culture would slowly change. New, better personnel would cycle in. Shrewder strategies would take root. The Jackson and Kerr combo would serve as the base-level infrastructure necessary to rebuild the Knicks and get them back on their feet.

(TIMELINE: The many failed coaches of the Jim Dolan era)

Instead, the Knicks are left in the lurch. And the irony of it all is that Kerr likely wouldn’t have garnered so much interest if Jackson hadn’t reached out to him so early and often. The courting process between the two started about a year ago, after which Kerr’s name started popping up in the conversation over nearly every head coaching vacancy, from the Lakers to the Warriors to the Utah Jazz. Given the attention, he might owe Jackson a finder’s fee.

What is certain is that Kerr didn’t do Jackson any favors when it comes to credibility. A good executive gets his man and gets the deal done. The Knicks brought their new president on board in large part for his ability to do that, to attract and cultivate talent, only to watch him bungle his first big opportunity. New York now has to launch a full-scale coaching search just two weeks from the NBA combine, with few options and a star free agent, Carmelo Anthony, mulling whether it’s worth it to stick with his mess of a franchise and at a discounted rate to boot.

There are no options as attractive as Kerr, especially with X’s and O’s guru Stan Van Gundy off the board and heading the Pistons. Jackson disciples Kurt Rambis, Tyrone Lue, Mark Madsen and Luke Walton inspire little to no confidence. Jerry Sloan and George Karl are past the headaches the Knicks are sure to give them.

That likely leaves Mark Jackson and Brian Shaw, both interesting options with potential downsides. Jackson might not be on the same page philosophically as Phil Jackson, and does his best work with point guards, which the Knicks are currently without. Shaw, meanwhile, is complicated because he’s still under contract with the Denver Nuggets.

There’s no simple path for the Knicks from here. Kerr represented the best chance to transform the franchise into a stable, forward-thinking organization. Everything else seems a gamble, another possible step deeper into the drudgery of the Jim Dolan era. Jackson’s arrival was supposed to change all that, but even he might be finding that the hole the Knicks dug themselves over the past 15 years is a bit deeper than anticipated.
