So we know that Hendrix isn’t a fit for Nelson stylistically and there’s Turiaf. The Warriors can’t use another burly rebounder in the mode of Millsap, Landry, and Bass? Is cornering the market on smalls and swing players while getting consistently killed on the boards and losing aestheticallly pleasing to anyone else other than Nelson? I can imagine Nelson at a 12-step meeting, saying my name is Don and I’m a small-ballaholic. It doesn’t make sense to have a few bulky bigs to change things up when small-ball isn’t happening? It’s highly unlikely to happen given the clueless bunch running this thing, but I’d push for Nelson to be dispatched to the glue factory and in his place, Brian Shaw, although he’d probably insists on a regime change first.

Undoubtedly some of the criticism of the younger players is warranted. But where’s Nelson when the veterans, specifically Jackson and Maggette are chucking (and missing) to their hearts’ content? Where’s the constructive criticism, the nurturing of the younger players, instead of the same tired holier-than-thou rant, unless it’s a rant at management for saddling him with the youngest team in the league. But he knew what he was getting and he signed on for more. Nelson’s knows how to get in a snit. What else is he good at. His performance this season goes to show how inflexible he can be-the worst quality for a coach on a young team.

So here we go again. Nelson. Hall of Fame yada-yada-yada. I thought that after his 1994 meltdown he wouldn’t be allowed near the G.S.building, yet here he is. Uncreative. Brittle. Willing to sacrifice the team to prove himself right. Same old Nellie. When will the fan base have enough? Will the ownership point out to him that his job is to develop talent and WIN SOME GAMES? Except for occaisional bouts of screaming, he looks disinterested out there. A few of these guys have talent, but we’ll never see the neccesary coaching moves to bring it out. All Nellie cares about is Nellie.

Saltwater,
No one is saying the young’ns played great yesterday. But for Nellie to single out the youngsters is bush league. They weren’t the only ones stinking up it.
This team is playing completely out of sink, with no discipline, and with little energy. Who ultimately takes the blame for that?

Marcus, do you think that the league has caught up with Nelson’s small ball game? Without the fast breakout led by BD and Monte, even the weaker teams (Washington, Sacramento, Memphis, Minnesota) have nothing to fear from Maggette at PF and Jackson’s wild shooting. Both of these guys are not “star” players to build around, although Jackson thinks he is. Again, this team desperately needs a low post power player, because they are getting their butts kicked under the basket.

I don’t get how some of you are saying Nelson is bad because he is placing blame on the younger players. I mean, did you guys not watch the game last night? Do you really think that the youngsters merit serious play time after playing the way they did? I don’t necessarily agree with Don Nelson’s tactics/coaching style all the time, nor do I necessarily really agree with his thinking process(not that I ever understand it)… BUT he’s definitely NOT out of line when he places blame on the youngsters. They played a horrible game. It looked like a game of pick up basket ball during recess.

I’m sorry if I sound angry, but that game was just sooooooooo horrible to watch last night.

Mountain Jim, Kelenna has actually played much more in control as of late… He’s been looking for others more than before, its just that he didn’t get credited for the assist because who-ever he threw the ball to couldn’t covert the basket. He definitely doesn’t have really good court vision, but he’s actually been improving with the passing…

Lastly…

Marcus, can you please tell Nelson NOT to play Maggette at the 4? sigh…If you go to nba.com and look at the top 10 plays from last night and the Haier play of the night… You’ll see COREY MAGGETTE! :X

Marcus, are the players reacting badly at all to Nelly? Cause an incredible amount of Nelly Loyalists i know, are even starting to question just what the hell Nelsons doing.

Nelson’s a coach that wants to play the young guys? Give me a break! And here I’d thought Nolan was the biggest lying, Bay Area coach.

What insipid play — and primarily by the Mags-Jack duo which stunk it out yesterday. Terrible coaching — over and over. It’s getting to be unwatchable.

WE HAVE NO INTIMIDATION FACTOR, NO TEAM FEARS US. WE LOST OUR SWAGGER…I’M FINE LOSING BARON, BUT WITHOUT HIM YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE…MAYBE MONTA AND JAMAL CAN RECREATE THIS.

TIME TO KEEP MAGS AT THE 3 AND PUT IN A POWER FORWARD!!!
