THE PG CORRECTLY PREDICTS CHANGES BROUGHT IN BY MARK JACKSON AT GOLDEN STATE

The PG calls another one!

As I posted the previous entry, I ran across this excerpt from an episode of THE POINT GUARD Internet Radio Program (on BLOGTALKRADIO) which aired weeks before the start of the lockout-shortened 2011-12 season.  In this episode, Speedy asks The PG what he thought of the (at that time) recent hiring of Mark Jackson to replace Keith Smart as coach of the Golden State Warriors.  The PG's response was ultimately determined to be right on the money, including the forecasting of the moving of Monta Ellis, the insertion of a big off-guard (Klay Thompson) into the lineup and an attempt to bring in a low post presence (which turned out to be Andrew Bogut).  The PG predicted the end of Golden State's entertaining brand of high-scoring basketball as Mark Jackson turns the team to a more traditional style of play.  Lastly, ThePG correctly predicted that these changes would make the Warriors a better team - just not as much fun to watch.

May Your Point Guard Flow...
