36 minutes tells the (incomplete) story

I always like to look at players' stats adjusted to reflect starters' minutes (36 per game). I'm fully aware it's not an exact science; especially for players who get very few actual minutes on the court, it can present some false perceptions of a player's ability. In addition, just because [...]

ESPN rips Warriors

ESPN's Chad Ford ranked all the teams in the NBA on the moves (or lack of moves) they made at the trade deadline. At the top of the list, the Cleveland Cavaliers (I agree). At the bottom of the list, the Phoenix Suns (considering the lack of value they were [...]

Should the Warriors rebuild?

I'm not sure why I get so excited about the trade deadline each season. When you look back at the history of deals made in February, the track record isn't very good. Many deals are made to clear salary, and even the teams that buy often misjudge how an incoming [...]

Final All-Star thoughts

3-point shootout: Stephen Curry stepped up Saturday and put on a show. The thing that impressed me most about Curry, even more than his 18 three-pointers in the first round, was the way he carried himself. He wasn't nervous or intimidated by a fairly star-driven opponent lineup. He stole the [...]

Why Stephen Curry is the NBA’s best rookie

Most nights, I watch Warriors games in my office at work. I'm usually in the middle of putting the newspaper together for the next morning, and so my actual attention to the game usually  fluctuates between casual viewing and check-the-score-every-couple-minutes. But Wednesday night, against a boring opponent (the [...]

Loss to Suns proves Ellis’ value

At least for one game, some people can stop wondering if the Warriors are better off without Monta Ellis in the lineup. The Warriors played hard and showed well on the road Saturday against the Suns before ultimately coming up short in a 112-103 loss (recap, box score). It was a [...]

Nice recognition for Maggette

ESPN's John Hollinger presented his all "under-the-radar" team Thursday (you'll need ESPN Insider to read the article) and it was nice to see Corey Maggette receive a little recognition from the national media for the season he is having. Monta Ellis has been the best player for the [...]
