		<description><![CDATA[Peter Martin-

The Tuesday Night Quarterback has already taken Second Guess Management to the next level.  But your strategy would create one hell of a Point Guard.  With true 360 Surround HD Hindsight in 20/20 we&#039;d have the hardwood version of Nicholas Cage in Next.

Whoa.  Soooo THAT explains the phenomenon when my me and my buddies get worked playing ball in the park and the other team cries out &quot;NEXT!&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Baron can choose to do whatever he wants with his off day.  The keyword there is &quot;choose&quot;.

If you&#039;ve ever played serious basketball, even at the amateur level, you would know how a bad night&#039;s sleep affects your next day&#039;s performance.  This is especially true for your shooting touch (witness BD&#039;s poor shooting performance, especially from the foul-line).

I can understand how important this Sundance event is for BD.  No question that it IS a big deal.  If it were me, I&#039;d still go to Utah, but call it  a night earlier, and fly back to the Bay the same night to get a better night&#039;s sleep on my own bed.

But again, it&#039;s his &quot;choice&quot;, but his choices are a good indicator on what he values most.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The important thing was that it showed what type of basketball player/person he was, regardless whether it was correct or not that Baron attended that festival.

He talks bigger than his actual commitment to winning and bringing the team back to the playoffs.  Nash, Garnet, nor Duncan would have done it unless it was a family emergency.  Baron defintely talks bigger than his actual actions.

And this is from a player who thinks he deserves a max raise from his current $16.4 million/yr salary, and that he deserves to be an All-Star (I assumes he thinks so even though he says he doesn&#039;t care).

I don&#039;t think there&#039;s any right or wrong for his actions.  It just shows that he&#039;s more of a $10-13M player instead of a max salary (nor $16.4M) player.  His potential employers (the Warriors and the other 29 NBA teams) will notice this action.

Again, I totally agreed that Baron is entitled to do whatever he wants, but it just shows whether you can depend your franchise on him.

And for those who actually works a job with prospect, one would understand that if you are striking for a bonus/promotion/pay raise, you would have worked extra hard (overtime/weekend/at home) to work on an important project.  Instead of arriving and leaving on time and barely making the deadline fulfulling the minimum acceptable requirements.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Marcus,

Just ignore the trolls -- they&#039;re a waste of space.

As for your point, I would be harder on Davis if the film wasn&#039;t a substantive documentary.  If Davis was producing Scooby Doo IV, I might be more skeptical.  But he put his money behind a hard-to-get-made, hard-to-market-doc about gang life in L.A., where he&#039;s from -- so it seems like it was a personal project, as much as self-aggrandizing.  And as one of your earlier posters said, Sundance is really important for marketing these kinds of films.

That said, I&#039;d feel better if Davis hadn&#039;t played so bad.  But as other people have said, everybody played badly.  They need a blue-collar, lunchbox guy to set the tone.  Bring back Larry Smith! (They could use the rebounding).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Listen here OnceWereWarriors, Imma need for you to not get at my boy Marcus like that, just &#039;cause you&#039;re the one taking this a little too serious, like he said blogs are intended for entertainment purposes...
Anyways... on to the discussion at hand, I think people are putting too much on it. I know every game counts and they shoulda won this game, but every player has a life outside of basketball and it&#039;s not as if its routine for him to fly out of state for film festivals the night before a game. Let the man get a break, and like it was mentioned earlier I don&#039;t think this woulda been an issue had they won the game. Outside of this situation he is pretty committed to the team and his dedication to the game, so lets cut him some slack! If anything, I have a bigger problem with his beard...can he clean it up a little bit. lol
Go Warriors!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Marcus,
What anyone does is his business. Even on the best teams in professional sports, like the Patriots, Red Sox, Spurs, have player who do things that can be construed as subjective but still come to play.  I don&#039;t pay my money to monitor peoples lives. All I care about is a team giving maximum efforts and playing like they want to be world champions which the Warriors didn&#039;t do on Monday.  They&#039;ve been doing this &quot;We can turn it on when we want routine for far to long.&#039; I mean its pathetic when your coach says he couldn&#039;t get them to play hard. They sometimes come out with no since of urgency, especially against teams they should beat like the pacers, timberwolves. If there not careful they will be out of the playoff race all together.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don&#039;t get me wrong... I still love Baron, but are you kidding me people?!  OF COURSE BD missed the lay-up because he decided to attend the Sundance the day before the game.  Do not compare this to your average joe&#039;s 9 - 5 office job.  give me a break!!  if you have an office job to get to the day after the Sundance you can stare at your computer all day and pretend to work (Office Space anyone?).  Come on peeps!!  Being a basketball player involes way too much physical endurance to bounce right back from a night out on the town.  I agree that there were other guys on the team that could have stepped up, but BD is the player that sets the tone.  My advice... Save the &quot;debut&quot; for the off season.

OH... and PS... to those of you that are talking smack to Marcus.  I have a feeling you are flipping burgers for a living and would easily be able to jet off to Sundance on Sunday, take a bong rip Monday morning and be off on your merrier way back to the local burger joint like any other day.

Go WARRIORS!! :)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[marcus totally nailed it.  there&#039;s a reason tony romo was crucified in the media for heading to mexico with jessica simpson during the playoffs.  remember a few years back when vince carter decided to attend his graduation and then fly back the same day to play in a crucial playoff game?  that was even more meaningful than hatton-mayweather or sundance, but he was still vilified by the public.  imagine that!

what i think it comes down to is that when you&#039;re part of a team, you have a commitment to fulfill to each one of your teammates.  you have to be ready to play at your highest level night in and night out.  being a leader, as is baron, your responsibility becomes even greater.  romo is the leader in dallas, which is what made his situation worse.  same with vince when he was in toronto.

where going to sundance and losing to the t&#039;wolves at home with ryan gomes dropping 35 in the oracle after a 4-game road trip happens....

the NBA.  where amazing happens.]]></description>
