Richard Hendrix should have never happened.
Too bad we have no clue…

I agree with Marcus’ point that Jackson was outstanding guarding Paul and West — wow, that’s a tough assignment. Ronny was excellent on West as well.

I’m not so sure Monta did a great job on Peja, or whether Peja just failed to take advantage of the matchup by posting up the much smaller Warriors guard. (I hadn’t realized that Peja was 6’10″)! But you could definitely see Monta’s and rest of the Warriors’ effort in deflections and steals. Maggette and Crawford are still god-awful as man defenders, but at least Maggette was really hustling for boards, and found his range at last when the game was on the line.

The Warriors are better with Turiaf and Biedrins playing together, but you need another power forward on the team to pair them up for more than spot duty. So depending on the foul situation, put them together in the fourth quarter.

And as lackluster as Monta’s offensive game was, his defense on Peja was great. An excellent move by Nelson. One of his few this year.

Marcus,Nelson should have put Turiaf at the four a long time ago, he is too brainwashed into small ball. Buike is too short to bang at this position. Why can’t this team play defense EVERY game instead of on occasion. This is a coaching shortfall that reflects on Nelson’s shortcomings unfortunately.

uh…

w/ Andris’ foul trouble problems, you never know when or how long you’ll need Turiaf (who is also foul prone). there’s a huge risk in Turiaf picking up fouls early on at PF. call me crazy but i don’t think having one of your lightest players, at 197 lbs, playing center late in games is a good idea – especially when he’s a 19 year old rookie who couldn’t even lead his high school team to a winning record, let alone college. the other choices being Rob Kurz & Jermareo Davidson.

that’s just common sense.

Speaking of good defense, how about the way Monta smothered Peja much of the time?

Oh, and Marcus, pay no attention to “Cohan.” It makes him crazy when the Warriors win. Tough to take a victory that imperils his looney theories.

Ronny has 25 good minutes in him per night, tops, and tonight let’s hope he has something left.

Ellis and Biedrins should BOTH be sitting and we have a game tonight.

Grabbing the opportune win has consequences.
Big minutes for Jack again. Marcus wants to go to Jackson’s next party…

Sweet game by Jax, hope the effort wasn’t just because of the national spotlight.

Agree about Ronny starting at 4 over Buike, only problem is Ronny’s a foul machine, might be better to spot him off the bench?
