The last Game 7 played by the Warriors turned out to have major ramifications for three teams — Golden State, the Knicks and the ABC/ESPN No. 1 broadcasting team.
It was two years ago in Los Angeles in the first round against the Clippers. Mark Jackson was the Warriors’ head coach. Steve Kerr was amid negotiations with the Knicks to become their head coach.where to buy cheapest sports jerseys with free shipping
The domino effect of the Warriors’ 126-121 loss to the Clippers was profound. With Golden State eliminated, Warriors owner Joe Lacob fired Jackson. The Warriors contacted Kerr’s agent, Mike Tannenbaum, who told them the deal with the Knicks was not done.where to buy cheapest sports jerseys with free shipping
Kerr met with the Warriors, fell in love and backed out of a verbal agreement with Knicks president Phil Jackson to become Golden State’s coach — five victories away from a second straight title. Jackson settled for Derek Fisher, who flopped, and now is ready to announce the hiring of Jeff Hornacek.cheap replica jerseys cheap replica jerseys cheap replica jerseys
Mark Jackson? He returned to the popular national broadcasting team of ex-Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy and Mike Breen, and the trio didn’t miss a beat. They will call the NBA Finals. Jackson, who developed the Splash Brothers, declined comment, but Van Gundy said, “I know deciding games bring about changes and emotional decisions by the losing team.”

Had the Warriors won Game 7, Kerr almost assuredly would have coached the Knicks as Jackson would have been retained. Stephen Curry lobbied to keep Jackson.
“I’ve been in one [Game 7] so far in my career, and it didn’t turn out the way we wanted to,” Curry said. “We have another opportunity to get the job done Monday.”
Kerr had no reason to bring up 2014’s Game 7 to the players at Sunday’s meeting.where to buy cheapest sports jerseys with free shipping
“None of the staff was here except [development coach] Chris DeMarco,” Kerr said. “We didn’t discuss that.”
