Crawford, Monta, Jackson, Maggette in that order.

Crawford – clutch shooter, can create for others, best passing

Monta – clutch midrange shooter, can create for others, decent passing

Jackson – clutch spot-up shooter

Maggette – fouls don’t get called at the end of the game

It all depends on what we need at the time..If we need a 3 then Crawford can get his own shot or set-up Jackson with a pass. If we are tied or one down then I would go with Monta or Maggette, Monta can pull up from anyplace on the court and knock down a shot. Maggette can go low and get a foul call and make free throws for a win.

Generally I agree but what about the Pistons? They won a championship with neither Rip, Chauncey or Wallace being the “go to guy”.

Offensively it’s a pretty interesting combination, imagine those 4 closing games (It’s Nelson so it doesn’t matter that they all play the same position) he will probably add Morrow hanging out in a corner. You can’t double any of them and you can’t play zone. Of course if they miss they there is no way they stop the other team. Probably won’t work for a true winning team but it should make for a really fun trip to the lottery. You can move the pieces that don’t fit in the off season.

“Earl Monroe”…………….you’re right!

Jackson is a “role player” now.

His only “role” is to make certain he turns the ball over as many times as possible in a matter of 48 minutes.

Thank you again, “Earl Monroe” for blessing us with your “pearls of wisdom.”

I think Earl Monroe is a Berkeley college professor. His leftist statements makes me think he has a degree in Liberal Arts.

What would we do without “Earl Monroe’s” intelligent commentary?………..You are, without question, the smartest man on here, “Earl Monroe” We should all listen to you and agree with you.

Tell you what,……….why don’t you pack your shit and move back to D.C. where “Earl Monroe” is regarded as “God”.

Monte or Crawford in the 4th, because you have to have a threat to take it to the hole. All of these guys tend to haul up a long shot, we still need a low post threat.
Re: Midterm Grades for Warriors, you forgot to give an “F” grade to Rowell for handling BD and Mullin, moves that turned a playoff potential team back into a doormat. Also RE: It’s Not A Lost Season, even with Ellis coming back, he doesn’t change who the team is because he is another guard. This club will not improve until they stress defense and rebounding, and actually play bigger up front.(IMHO)

I like the Monta/Crawford combination. They can create for an open Jax-3 or a Maggette-drive.

I want a player that can “create his own shot” to make big baskets in the 4th.

As we stand now, the only players that can “create their own shots” on the team are: Corey Maggette and Jamal Crawford.

Belinelli is on his way there but as of yet, he’s a little too “scared” to drive the ball to the basket (typical of European players). Marco has to get toughter in this regard, he has the abillity to take people of the dribble.

Stephen Jackson can take and make big shots, no question. I would put him on that list for that reason alone. But he cannot “create his own shot” because he can’t dribble and he really cannot finish after penetrating.

So as of riht now, I want guys who can drive to the basket and get to the free throw line to close out games for our young Golden State squad.

The only guys who can do that are Corey Maggette and Jamal Crawford. When Monta Ellis gets back, he will complete that trio of players that I want to take shots in the 4th.

Drive to the basket and get to the free throw line, put the other team in foul trouble in the 4th, let other teams “shit their pants” because they are scared to put the Warriors “in the bonus”.

Why do WE always have to be the ones in the 4th quarter, “shitting our pants” because the other team is already in the bonus.
