The Warriors' Real 'X' Factor

I've kept saying that the X factor for the Warriors is injury, in particular Stephen Curry and Andrew Bogut. 

But there's another main one that has been staring everyone right in the face. Fans are all focused on their favorite players, and how they will end up playing. While it is true that the players are a huge part, I think that coaches are an even bigger part. 

As a fairly new coach, Mark Jackson is attempting to bring the reloaded Dubs to the playoffs. This should be possible. If the Warriors dont win with their current roster, Marc Jackson will be fired faster than one can imagine. Jackson is a down to earth guy, who was an extremely smart player. Hopefully he can coach: fans didn't see much of his well-designed plays in the 66 game season. 

He is preaching defense, but can he lead these guys to the playoffs?

The Heat wouldn't be anywhere without Erik Spoelstra. The Celtics wouldn't be anywhere without Doc Rivers. 

The Warriors know the time is now or never, but skill and talent can't win every game. Players need to follow a gameplan and have smart decisions. This is where Jackson comes in.

Can he do it? Comment below.
