Mark Jackson will not rest until every strawman is torched

The Warriors’ persecution complex is just incredible.

SB Nation 2014 NBA Playoff Bracket

Mark Jackson, your Golden State Warriors just beat the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 1 of the most highly anticipated first-round series of the NBA playoffs. What do you want to talk about?

The comments were part of a sprawling response to a question about the Warriors doing best when they are the underdogs. To his credit, Jackson gave all those players loads of credit. But come on. People did question whether the Warriors were wise to hire a coach with no bench experience. But no one serious has ever thought, "Gee, Stephen Curry should just retire." Only fools ever thought David Lee was a loser.

Is this really necessary, Coach? Take the W and celebrate. Save some strawmen for when the Warriors drop a game. You might need them then.
