		<description>How does the bay area sports end up with Bobby Rowell, Chris Cohan, Brian Sabean, Al Davis, the Yorks, Billy Beane(most overrated person in the history of sports, Billy ball sucks), with these losers in charge, bay area sports is doomed..

What did we do to deserve these losers running our teams?????</description>

		<description>Now its time to put us out of our misery and for Nellie to go back to Hawaii, and let Smart coach the team..Nellie is the worst coach possible for a young team..He can&#039;t teach anymore, and he never could coach defense..He is stealing money from the Warriors, but actually Rowell and Cohan deserve it..

Have you noticed since Rowell has come into the forefront and pushed Mully aside, the team has gone completely down the toilet..This is not a coincidence..I am very happy for Mully to go back to NY and get out of this dysfunctional mess..

The Baron Davis good Warriors are gone forever and it will be at least another decade before this dysfunctional garbage sniffs the playoffs again..

Thanks Rowell and Cohan..The suits always ruin everything..</description>

		<description>Good lord, the Warriors are in a state of complete chaos.  Hey why not bring back Spree to serve as player-management liason while we&#039;re at it?

I guess the best that can be said is that there&#039;s never a dull moment in Warriorsland -- except during the games.</description>

		<description>Hey Marcus:  Why nothing here or in the CCTimes today about Nelson&#039;s widely reported statement to AR, telling him to have his agent work on a deal since &quot;it&#039;s not working out here&quot;?  Even Janny -- with Shea -- had the story today; ESPN yesterday.

Isn&#039;t it time for the beats to call Nelson on his BS?  Is there any question that this Nelson statement about going &quot;soft&quot; is anything other than transparent?  Do you see this team going anywhere now that Nelson&#039;s alienated ALL his players?

We&#039;re losing our team as Nelson slides further and further downhill.  Yet only TK seems able to say anything about how Nelson is destroying the team -- and its future.  What gives here?</description>

		<description>At least he realizes that he needs to do something, although this is entirely not enough. We already knew he is weak with defense, now he needs someone to decide on which players to keep and which ones to phase out, as he cannot continue to keep bringing in guards to play all positions. Obviously don&#039;t ask Rowell anything.</description>

		<description>One foot out of coaching  and it&#039;s pointed at the front office. Watch out RR, it&#039;s you he wants, not Mullin.</description>

		<description>&quot;Is this a precursor to handing the team over to Smart?
That’s not my decision. I have two more years. I wouldn’t worry about that at this point. That’s got nothing to do with anything. This is identifying a problem that we need to work on and I’ve got two guys that have great energy, great philosophy, great abilities in that area and I’m going to turn it over to them. &quot;

In other words, Nellie has two more years and he&#039;s not quitting (i.e., surrendering his salary) unless the FO decides to fire him for young blood that can actually do the job and in which case Nellie would still get his money.</description>

		<description>Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
We got here in one quarter of a season.........

It&#039;s still my team though, as disfunctional as it is.

Nellie,
For the love of..... just relax and teach the young guys Nellie,
let them make some mistakes and next year you will enjoy the
fruits of your labor, believe in something other than the next 42 minutes.
Like all of us loose some weight, that would help you mentally.
Stop hitting the sauce every night, stop playing mind games with
everyone, we all know by now that is what you do with the fans, media and
players, its no longer effective, I grant that you have a great deal of
basketball knowledge and enjoy your brand of basketball, but sometimes
we just have to play with the cards we are dealt. Take it like a team member.
You are part of the team, yelling and screaming is not always the solution.
And remember, without Chris Mullin you would never be in this position to
chase the all time win record, never mind that wining percentage should be more
important than number of wins due to longevity.
You made Stephen Jackson the focal point,  you pumped him up to his status on the team, you allowed him all the freedom on offense, he is good but not what you have made him out to be.  Now bring him back down slowly.
And when you talk about poor defense you should also talk about poor offense.
The most important thing we all can do is look in the mirror.
Be good to your players, without whom you would not be here or in Maui.
Maybe have a conversation with Al Attles, he won it all, with a team that played defense and shared the ball on offense.  He would do anything for his players including fight the opposing team.
Lets right the ship and get this thing going.
I close with my opening, relax bro, like all disfunctional families, ultimately we are on your side.
Here&#039;s to a fresh start tonight.</description>

		<description>Nellie may be getting ready to step down.  If I were him, I&#039;d look to do the same.  This team has lost its excitement.  The team of last year and two years ago has left the building and the excitement is gone (who knows for how long).  It took 10 plus years to get it back and only after BD and supporting cast were in place did we have an exciting team.

Now the jerks from the frontoffice, the same jerks who know nothing about basketball and get in the way of moving the Ws forward are probably looking for an escape goat. Someone will get thrown under the bus here shortly by these same idiots.

Way to go Rowell and Cohan!! You guys are major Boneheads!!

Get your dumb Warrior girls and Thunder out of the building and put a good competitive product out on the
floor.</description>

		<description>Did someone say defense? It took him 2 plus years to figure this out? Well, better late than never. Maybe we can get payton to work with ellis and the rest of the guards, the worm to work with wright and randolph on positioning and rebounding, and some of that badboy defense, rick berry to work on Andris jump shot. Hell just have them suit up.</description>
