At the start of the season, I really thought this Warriors team could play close to .500 for the season and contend for the final playoff spot in the West. I think it's safe to say I was completely wrong. After trading Stephen Jackson, and with rumors that Monta Ellis [...]
I don't know how you can look at today's trade and not call it a winner for the Warriors. When you consider that Stephen Jackson had 1) demanded a trade months ago, 2) never backed off that trade demand, 3) demonstrated enough erratic behavior to force the Warriors hand in [...]
I'm sorry about the lack of analysis of Friday night's game. I've had a million other things going on and haven't been able to get to it. It's unfortunate, too, because there is a fair amount worth mentioning from the Warriors' win against the Knicks. Like ... Why did Anthony [...]
Often, when a team goes on the road, it’s a chance for players to band together, for a team to develop some chemistry. But for a dysfunctional squad like the Warriors, the lonely road has only served to intensify the team's discord. Yesterday, Monta Ellis blew up at coach Don [...]
It seems clear there’s no turning back now. The Warriors, for the sake of their young talent, for the sake of their franchise, must trade Stephen Jackson. Immediately. A take-the-highest-bid fire sale won’t bring back the kind of talent the Warriors or their fans would probably like to see in […]
Following Monday night's 146-105 win against the Minnesota Timberwolves, coach Don Nelson said this to the media: "We have to understand our two wins were against teams that were struggling. I wouldn't make too much out of it." He also took the time to praise the way his team played, [...]
Marcus Thompson II, San Jose Mercury News, has some great commentary mingled with quotes from Warriors players following Sunday’s loss. It’s a nice read. Check it out here. In the article, Thompson writes about Stephen Jackson’s agent ripping Don Nelson, saying he wants Jax “out of there now. It doesn’t [...]
Before we get to previewing tonight's game against Baron Davis and the Clippers, I wanted to look back at Wednesday's win against the Grizzlies one last time to dissect some of the things that didn't go so well. There wasn't a lot to criticize Wednesday because the Warriors played a [...]
There has been a fair amount of discussion since preseason about the Warriors' starting lineup, in particular the backcourt pairing of Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis. Most of the chatter prior to the season was about the defensive weaknesses it would present, but in the first two games of the [...]
Five days off between games, even in the NBA, is a long time. It’s nice that the Warriors have this time to work on some issues that have led to their 0-2 start, and hopefully they take advantage. One of the interesting developments through the first two games this season [...]
