Minnesota is a terrible team, a young team in transition with coaching and management and without their “go to” guy in AJ.

I don’t know what it would take to turn this Golden State team around.

The biggest problem with our young team is that we’re lacking that 4th quarter scorer, that closer, that Kobe, that LeBron, that Paul Pierce who makes big shots, is not afraid to take big shots, is aggressive to the basket in getting to the free throw line amd putting the pressure on the defense. That’s the key in the 4th, you have to make the other team’s defense nervous and force the refs to recognize your aggressiveness and reward you by sending you to the free throw line.

Again, we have a lot of scorers, guys who can score 30+ if they really wanted to. Stephen, Jamal, …………Jamal himself has been the leading scorer on a lot of the teams he’s played on: Chicago, early years in New York, these guys can score, no question, but we still need that 4th quarter closer.

Corey Maggette is our best player and our best scorer. He can score in more ways, better and more efficiently than any other player on our team. He is my favorite player on our team, BD was my favorite last year, I like both their games, no question about that, but we need more help.

Corey would be a fantastic compliment to a couple of scorers more like him, aggressive to the basket, accept the fact that he is a scorer and that’s what he does best.

My knock on Corey is his inability to pass the ball. I attribute that to the fact that he, his coaches, his teammates want him to shoot the ball because they all know his main role is and has been to be a scorer in this league.

The year the Clippers made the playoffs, they had a pretty good core with a back-court, you can call him “swingman” type player in Corey Maggette, a front line that included an active and fairly skilled Chris Kaman and an all-around well coached team.

Our Golden State team needs to surround the good NBA players that we have with other good NBA players, until that happens, I don’t know.
