if we are going to draft these young guys we need to let thm play, we dont have any NBA stars on our team, so he needs on be on the court, and allow him to make mistakes and let the kids play, he plays defense, blocks shots, and hustles all over the floor, does anyone else do that on our team, no i don;t think so. Does Corey run after loose balls, no, does Monte No, so let the kids play and develop into the star that he is.

Did you see ESPN Chad Ford’s suggested trade:

1. Raptors send Chris Bosh to the Warriors for Andris Biedrins, Anthony Randolph, Ronny Turiaf, Marco Belinelli and a future No. 1 pick

I love Chris Bosh, but this trade is silly. Thats pretty much the Warriors entire front line. Who would Bosh play with down low. Replace a big man w/ a guard and maybe I would consider it.

Marcus,
Have the Warriors been practicing over the break? We haven’t had everyone healthy all year; hopefully we’re using this time to improve our teamwork.

Danikil49 @ 36: Get a grip. BW and MB were starting before they were hurt. AR and AM have shown flashes, but they’re rookies playing behind other guys whose futures are just as promising. Try taking a deep breath before you spout off about “failed history” and “travesty” and “doomed” and “boycott” and all that nonsense.

Did I just read that Nellie said the youngsters will be fighting for playing time. This is not acceptable.Why would he not play the rookies and sophmores at this point? Because he doesn’t care about anything but himself and his win total that’s why. There is absolutely no reason on Earth not to play them. The W’s season is shot.

I want to see AR,BW,MB and AM and as far as I am concerned this is the same Nelson who was here before and apparently is doomed to repeat a failed history. Thanks Mr. Rowell and the beat writers ( for not calling a spade a spade)for allowing this travesty to go on. The fans should boycott the W’s , but we won’t because we are loyal SAPS!!

Optimis, You hit the nail on the head. I’m 110% with you. I’ve always like Nellie. I think he is able to get more out of average teams then any other coach, but if we loose AR to his games, I’ll curse him the rest of my life. AR could end up being our best player in 3-4 years.

Randolph/ Nellie smells too much like Webber/ Nellie. If Don is the player coach the claims 2 B then he needs to fix this…period

JSL I agree on limiting Jackson to 35 min. Not so much on 4th quarter minutes for AR, maybe begining of the 4th but not the end of the game…..yet.

Jayson, we’re also MUCH better free throw shooting team this year. We’ve won a couple of recent games on the line. Maggette get’s the large sum of credit fot that and brings something different to the team than the other wings. In fact although we do have an over abundence of SG/SF’s they all have different skill set and are learning how to play together. S jax is driving more and assisting 3 point shooters like crawford and Bukie, Maggette rarely takes a 3 and works the post and lanes/ gets to the line and crawford will learn to play point more point as his handle is much better than Ellis right now. Craw’s also finding Turiaf on Pick and roles and working the dimes around the team. Buike is maximizing his range and playing great defense. Everyone seems to fit.

Again, i like this team. I wouldnt’ trade yet. Maybe this summer. I’m not convinced we need to give up anyone just yet.

Cohan’s got it down: AR needs to play, deserves to play, must play. The team is better, faster, more fun to watch with him in the game. He’s a potential fiend on the boards — something the W’s need….a lot.

Most of all, we need to see him in the fourth quarter, when the old guys are worn out from paying 40+ minutes. (Jack was simply terrific in the first half last night; second half, not so much. Think how valuable he’d be if Nelson limited him to 30-35 mpg.) As well as AR played last night, he got only five second half minutes, and Nelson won’t use him in Q4 unless it’s garbage time. One reason why Nelson’s such a horrible end-game coach — and he almost cost us the game last night, even tho we had an 18 point lead in Q4.
