“A coach can make a player, but a coach can also break a player…”

Randolph’s potential is there. Nellie is accountable if he doesnt bloom within the year.. It’s too early to judge anything about Randolph. But I would like to think if Randolph were in Memphis, he would be getting a lot of minutes, he’d break his knees.

One guy who should get a lot of minutes is Kelena Azubique. This guy is about to breakout.

Harrington doesnt fit. I don’t know what went wrong. He can still turn it around though.

… and as for the warriors team in general, we obviously saw the vacuum left by Baron Davis in situations when baskets aren’t converting, and we are behind by a margin, Baron is gifted in these situations. He usually preps up the tempo whether were behind 20 or 30, then initiates a comeback. His presence alone inspires the team to comeback and he has the gifted leadership to do it.

It’s true Baron has erratic tendencies as a player. But no one can question his heart to fight and that’s what the team seems to miss at this point.

We could’ve had him for 30 million something and ROWELL BLEW IT!

Rowell will end up the goat with long horns by the season’s end. Watch my word for it and Mullin will probably end up in New York or Indiana coaching or a GM in some capacity.

I can’t believe these is unfolding..

Marcus, whats going on with this franchise??? i’m starting to sense some “Al Davis-ness” in the Warriors’ front office…..

I think Nellie has actually destroyed players’ confidence by NOT playing them. Look at Wright, Belinelli, and POB.

The above “ticket” isn’t running for office. A change is gonna come but it ain’t happening for the Warriors.

He is playing the vets for the only reason of adding value (or hurting it) in the trade market (Al Harrington/Ray Durham).

Belinelli DOES NOT deserve to play, he looks lost on D. Which seems like the reason Nelli is playing the vets because they understand the rotation on D. Same goes for Wright he seemed a little lost at first but he did have that sweet block last night.

AR dribbled the ball from one side of the court to the other last night fairly well, maybe he should do that more, no?

Warriors should just trade Al for whatever draft pick they can get. Then rotate Wright/Turiaf/AR into the rotation at 4.

Someone please inform Nelson just like Bruce Boche finally got the message, we Dubs are not going to playoff contenders this is a transition year so lets TRANSITION!

btw. Play Marcus Williams. Whats the worst that can happen?

PS.
Is what the alphabet would like like without Q and R.

Warriors should just

Robert Rowell does not know enough about basketball to be running an NBA franchise.

We all know now that it was Rowell’s decision not to re-sign Baron. The W’s would easily be 4-0 if Baron was extended for 3 years, even without Maggette. That would have been plenty of time for Monta to grow into his role as the leader of the team, and it would have allowed the W’s to improve their image throughout the league as an up and coming franchise. With Baron on the floor, Nellie would have been able to play some of the rookies, because Baron could easily negate another player’s mistakes. Baron would have also been able to educate these young players during games; he was a coach on the floor, with the same vision for elite play as Nellie. Who is doing that now for this team?

In Baron the W’s lost their one go-to guy. Yes, Baron was not an All-Star and he did have ‘issues’, but he made his teammates and the fans ‘believe’ that every game was winnable; especially games against the NBA elite. By doing so, Baron made his teammates better. It’s sad to see, but the W’s no longer have that swagger/belief; at least not for a full game.

As far as playing time goes for the rookies, there will be plenty of time for the rookies to play once the W’s are out of the playoff picture. In the meantime, Nellie should play his veterans in an attempt to win as many games as possible until Monta comes back. By then, the team can better determine which direction they want to go. They will probably be out the playoffs altogether, but you just never know.
