For the second time since reserves for the Western Conference All-Star team were announced, Warriors guard Monta Ellis has been passed over to join the team as an injury replacement. The first all-star to bow out was Chris Paul. He was replaced with the Nuggets' Chauncey Billups. With the news [...]
First things first: I want to apologize for the blog break. Work and family responsibilities combined with a bad cold this week to put me out of commission. I'm back now and will try to get back on a more regular blogging schedule. It seems like I've written [...]
The selections aren't supposed to be announced until later this afternoon, but Yahoo! Sports has cut in line, bumping aside TNT, to reveal the list of All-Star reserves. Warriors guard Monta Ellis was not among those selected. The West reserves include Hornets guard Chris Paul, Trail Blazers guard Brandon Roy, [...]
By now, most of you should have heard the latest trade rumor involving the Golden State Warriors. According to a report by A. Sherrod Blakely on New England's CSNNE.com, the Warriors were considering reaching out to the Boston Celtics regarding a trade involving Monta Ellis and Celtics shooting [...]

Last night's 107-101 win against the Minnesota Timberwolves was a nice victory. Coming off a frustrating loss the night before in Denver, when victory was snatched from their hands by poor officiating (read feltbot's scathing rebuke of the officials here), I wouldn't have been surprised to see the Warriors come [...]
This is a subject I've been thinking about for the past couple weeks. I was interested to observe the difference between two teams, the Portland Trail Blazers and Houston Rockets, who have been beset by injuries this season, and the Warriors. And even though I accepted the injuries as an [...]
I'm sorry for the long delay between blog entries. I took some time off for Christmas and spent the holidays in Oregon with a lot of family. I've been keeping an eye on the Warriors, though and wanted to give a belated review of the Warriors' recent play. You might [...]
