I’ve been a Don Nelson fan for a long time but I am beginning to think he is lost.

How is the idea of designating a defensive coordinator supposed to work? Does anyone really believe Nelson is going to give up control of player substitutions? Dividing authority between two coaches is going to divide the locker room and make a confusing situation for the players even worse.

How does talking to his agent make Anthony Randolph a better player? Isn’t his development as a player the responsibility of the coaching staff? Where does his agent fit into this? It makes no sense. When Randolph gets minutes, he scores, rebounds and blocks shots. What else is he supposed to be doing?

Nelson says, “We play a lot of small ball so we have to rebound better.” Isn’t one way to rebound better to stop playing so much small ball? There’s a reason that seemingly every back up center in the league goes for a career high against the Warriors.

The Warriuors have some good young big men. Why don’t we see them play together? How many minutes have Randolph, Wright and Biedrins logged on the floor together? Maybe a line up featuring them all together has problems but certainly no worse than the lineups we’ve been seeing all season.

Nelson is becoming increasingly erratic and making decisions and comments that do not appear to be in the best interests of the team. how much longer can this go on before something gives?

What Dahano says….Marco has been our best player since getting consistent playing time (17ppg/4rpg/3apg/over50%fg/over40% 3pt fg)…how on earth could you have him beneath Rob Morrow on the depth chart? That doesn’t make any sense.

In an ideal world, when Monta is really back in top form then its him and Marco in the backcourt, with Marco playing PG and Monta playing SG.

We need to excise Jax/Maggette/Crawford from this team somehow and let our young team grow together.

Wow! Marcus, how do you have Morrow ahead of Belinelli? When Monta comes back I would have Belinelli start with Monta and bring Crawford and Maggette off the bench until they show some passion on defense. Crawford and Watson are just lousy at keeping opposing guards in front of them. I’ve noticed that even when Belinelli gets beat, he has a good nack for knocking the ball away. Too bad Demarcus didn’t get any play tonight. Some body needs to tell Turiaf to stop jumping at everything and block out his man.

Wright 3 defensive rebounds in 30 minutes. Wright could always do these other things, but Nellie wanted Wright to become a better defensive rebounder and earn minutes. if Wright just plays, what incentive does he have to work hard on the defensive glass? it’s why Durant doesn’t pass – he has no incentive to. winning? 99% of young guys think they can win it by themselves and are more concerned with their stats, respect, or just happy to be playing.

…..sounds like Nellie wants to send Randolph to the d-league.
