Good point Dave. My thoughts exactly. Nellie DOES NOT know when to give Jax a breather. That’s why he didn’t produce in the final quarter. He should have gave Monta a breather too.

That is one of the reasons I don’t like Nellie. It does not take a genious to figure out that no player can be effective when not given at least a few minutes to rest. Nellie should take JAX out when Phil pulls Kobe and their starters.

That’s Nellie! I thought personally MB was playing pretty good D against kobe, but he got pulled. Defense is obviously NOT Nellie’s strong point and priority.

At the end of the season I wish critics can seriously ask Nellie why he promised not to over play Jax like he PROMISED during the beginning of the season.

Jackson is stupid not to tell Nelson that he needs a blow once in a while, and Nelson is stupid for playing him too many minutes. Why does Nelson have so many 2 guards if he doesn’t rotate them to rest the vets? Is Jackson too macho to ask for rest? Too many internal problems on this team, no wonder they are 19-36.

Turiaf’s 18 ft shot seems pretty reliable as of this point in the season. i would like to see more of turiaf at the 4 and biedrins at the 5 when he comes back. the whole thing with nellie, is he likes his 4 to be able to stretch the floor with a jumper. that spreads out the defense and creates mismatches. if ronny can hit that shot consistently, that should be enough to spread the floor, as well as allowing us to be able to rebound with any team in the league. i love ronny off the bench, but i think he can produce well as a starter and have AR come off the bench with even more energy.

Re Blah of ‘Out of Mix?’ post:

I like a little different mix. Mainly that I see Anthony Randolph as a 3. I like:

PG Crawford, CJ (Bellinelli)
SG Ellis, Bellinelli, Morrow
SF Jackson, Randolph, Buike
PF a player not yet acquired, Turiaf, Wright
C Biedrins, Turiaf

The player I’ve left out is Magette. Not that I don’t like him, I just don’t quite know where to put him. He’s doing a hell of a job filling in at that PF spot and would be just as good or better at one of the wing spots. A keeper.

Two comments on the Laker game. One, I noticed 4 Laker starters were resting on the bench in the 3rd while the dubs were using only a 6 and a half player rotation. Right then I figured they were doomed to succumb to fatigue in the face of Laker fresh legs and lungs. Look at the two guys who made mistakes in the 4th, Ellis and Jackson, 44+ minutes. That reeks. Second, having Odom say those things about Randolph is wonderful. It’s one thing to see it as a fan and get excited, but to have a top-of-the-line peer give a guy that kind of props is special. Trade Randolph and you trade ME to whatever team gets him. Don’t even think of it.

So many close losses…….Cleveland, Phoenix, San Antonio, and now last night.

One thing in common in all those losses…..a 4th quarter shooting drought. Great first half FG%, but scoring declined as we progressed into the 4th quarter.

Makes you wonder if we’re missing that star player that Warrior fans have always coveted……..Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Paul Pierce, Dirk Nowitzki, ……..just a couple of names of players that close games out in the 4th quarter.

Some players out of their element…..Stephen forced to be in the role of the number 1 option.

Loved seeing Anthony and Lamar last night. I called it in my last post……..wasn’t sure he was gonna start or not….big game for Anthony to get in and he put it in a double double……..let’s hope we see more things like that in the future.

If we shoot just a little bit better in the 4th, pick up our “D” a little bit and maintain our “roles” on offense, …..I mean Jamal had a great first half,…….you gotta go to him down the stretch. Corey, Jamal…….those guys have to be aggressive and get to the basket and draw fouls so there won’t be the discrepancies in foul calls in favor of the Lakers.

We were in the penalty before we could even breathe in the 4th and we didn’t get to the basket to put the pressure on the defense.

The 2 Ariza 3s sealed our fate.

Let’s hope we go 3-0 in our next 3 games against OKC, L.A. Clippers and Charlotte Bobcats…….because if we don’t go 3-0 in this next stretch, I’m gonna stop being a fan.

Anthony Randolph:

Hang in there buddy! We know that Don is a tough coach to get along with, but we fans really appreciate your hustle and enthusiasm. We hope you’re a Warrior for many, many years to come.

I didnt get Nellie taking AR out and putting in Bellinelli towards the end. Bellin is just getting back into the groove and AR was having a monster game.

What an amazing game. I was on the edge of my seat the entire game.

“From what I’m told, that message is being sent down from the executive suites”

So Nellie is forced to play AR and the guy was flat out amazing. He definitely has star potential on defense and offense. What I love about AR is that he is not intimidated by anyone. Remember he was staring down Garnett. You cant teach that.

Does anybody else notice that ARs face always looks like he is extremly distraught. I think its just the way he looks.

Group:
I love Anthony Randolph! He schooled Lamar in the early part of the game. He pissed him off actually! I was totally happy to have Odom sing his praises after the game. It’s out now. AR is going to be an All-Star….and more, and Nelson can’t hide his talent anymore behind his own dictatorial precepts. Nelson goes before Anthony does.

I’ve been a Warrior’s fan going way back. I saw Wilt and Attles play on black and white TV when I was a kid. I was at the San Francisco Airporst at 2:00 A.M. to welcome back Rick and the boys after winning the NBA Championship. What’s the point….AR just might be one of the Warrior’s All-Time Great Players….if left alone to grow and be taught to be a true professinal. He can’t be f_ _ ked with by someone with an ulterior motive. He’s only 19 people. Yeah he’s still making rookie mistakes, being out of position, and making errors of aggression, but so what. What were you people doing at age 19?? Someone on the early KNBR show pointed out his wrong-doings from last night. I wanted to throw my radio at them. Did you not notice the incredible and athletic attainments from the game. I’ll say again. He and Monta running the court together is going to be Nirvana for us Golden State Warrior’s Fans for the next ten years….give or take!!

The future is so bright. And last night was okay. We played with the best team in the league, yet we took the loss. I’m all about getting one more high draft choice in May!

Be optimistic Warrior’s fans. We are finally going to be a power! Hell….Kobe even said as much!

Bout time AR getting legite minutes! ESPN announcers seemed really high on AR the other night.

Can’t figure out why Nellie is overplaying Jax. Last time I checked we weren’t in the playoff run.

Oh well……
