I have to correct my last post………….I said that the 2nd game after Sacramento was against Oklahoma, it is acutally against Atlanta, my fault………..that would be a tough game,…….I don’t know, I have to predict a loss on Friday night for us at the Oracle against Atlanta.

Even after a dissapointing loss last night, I will still give these guys another chance because it was a great game and the yoing players played fantastic……..so they get a pass and I will keep watching.

But my correction is in my lst p

These 2 next games are “must wins” at home,……..no 2 ways about it.

We should win tonight against a struggling Kings team that’s probably worse now than when we played them last and an Oklahoma City team next.

Warrior fans, we should win both these games. If we even lose 1, I don’t think I will watch another game the rest of the year and this is a guy who would watch every single game in the Jamison years when we would have 20 wins to our name in a season. So when I say it, I mean it.

Nice work, Marcus. And good catch, Sartre — I noticed that too.

Now, Marcus, the only thing missing from your report on Monta was whether he’s actually getting any distance off the ground on his shots yet. Is he? Or is that going to take some time?

Marcus,
Great interview!
Having played ball myself I can tell you that he is doing the right thing not rushing or coming back to soon. The ankle may feel fine but the game condition are much different than practice no matter how competitive they are. If he’s really smart he should’nt be worrying about starting right away. The W’s should bring him off the bench for the first few game and gradually get him into game shape. He should wait until a few games short of the All Star game to come back. The W’s arn’t going anywhere this year as far as the playoffs, but it would be nice to see them make a push to gauge what adjustments they will need to make for next year. Keep up the good work!

Sounds like Monta is fired up to come back. He has me fired up. Lets ses what happens. Maybe they can make a playoff push.

Marcus,
I wonder when will it be likely for this team to have a full squad. Are we talking end of Feb?

He seem to have learned something and is saying the right things.

We know he’s got the physical ability and natural BBall talent. The question all along was his mental approach to the game.

I think he will do very well in his career so the $3M worth of education may net him more via $$ and smarts in the end.

Side note about TK. I think this person makes statements to get a reaction out of people and for the sake of getting a story and getting noticed.
