I dont mind trading Crawford. Its just a problem when the entie league know you are desperately trying to part ways w/ him. I was suprose they go so much value for Harington considering that he was in the same situation.

A lot has gone wrong for the W’s this season. But my sense is all the adversity is going to serve this team in the long run. One example being that many of the younger players have gotten to develop and play some important minutes which would not have happened otherwise.

I would submit that the turnovers and ragged play will be long forgotten by the first few weeks of the season if there are no further significant injuries.

I have seen this team COMPETE and play well with only one starter on the floor the rest un-drafted and D-league players. This team has had more starting line-ups than any other team in the league. Again they will become significantly better, these guys are YOUNG.

Leave Nelly alone.

I predict Jack will flourish next year as some of the pressure to do more than he should is taken up by his teammates. And as he gets comfortable he will not miss that pass to Morrow in the corner. I am surprised how many folks are down on this team as I see an incredible amount of upside.

Again, as long as management does not screw-up this team, I see a bright future for the Warriors and us fans.

Crawford is one of the best 4th quarter players in the league and has hit 11 game winners .The problem to me is he needs a structured offense and set plays to be his most effective .I think people see his fancy dribbling and thinks he wants to go one on one all the time but I think if we ran him off screens and found him looks via ball movement he could be that 4th quarter guy.

Our main problem is jack and then Nelsons handling of jack.

Jack has gone from the 3rd or 4th option to the first option and his ego has blown up. Instead of Nelson tweaking his system and focusing on ball movement and team play with all the injuries .He chose to allow jack and Corey to do whatever they want and now I doubt he can break those habits with this current roster. Nelson has allowed jack to think hes bigger than the team and it showing.

Well said Elgin Baylor…….well said……

Do you guys realize that we don’t have 1 single player that srikes fear in opponent’s hearts, on our team?

I mean, even though most teams scout us to focus on Stephen Jackson in the 4th quarter,…..most of the time, Stephen is not even double teamed in the 4th quarter and a lot of times opponenets give him his quick jumpers, gambling, letting him take those shots.

Again, no player that strikes fear in the opponent means that they are never worried when trailing the Warriors, going into the 4th quarter.

Instead, we have to shit our pants in the 4th quarter because of guys like # 24, B. Roy, D. Nowzitzki, C. Paul, T. Duncan, M. Ginobilii, T-Mac, Yao Ming, D. Williams, C. Boozer and J. Terry.

We don’t have anyone on our team to make opponents shit their pants.

I think we will struggle to win 5 more games for the remainder of the season……………5 more wins would put us at 30 wins…..absolutely deplorable win total for this team I had such high hopes for, even when BD went to L.A.

This is FAR worse than what I expected, even when Monta went down. This organization has serious internal problems and dissention.

I think we will struggle to win 5 more games folks, …….I think we will barely scratch 30 wins this season………..we should be ashamed of our team….we are an absolute terrible NBA franchise.

There are a lot of young teams in the league, a lot of teams have had injury problems this year…….look at New Orleans……Peja hasn’t been healthy all year, Tyson Chandler has the toe problems, Morris Peterson in and out, ……look at the Lakers…..Bynum all year pretty much……..look at the Jazz……Boozer injury…the Rockets without T-Mac and when he’s healthy, their usually without Y. Ming……….

Portland is a young team too………look at what their doing.

Point is, I’m tired of the excuses…….we just do not have the NBA talent needed to compete in the Western Conference…..period.

I knew we were going to lose this game……..who, in their right mind would believe that we can beat a tough playoff team on the road?……..No chance in hell Warrior fans…tomorrow night as well, expect an absolute destruction of our young Golden State squad in the Alamo (better known as San Antonio)

These are the kinds of teams that we will never, ever, ever, ever be able to beat on the road unless we make some major changes……on the defensive end as well as finding a confident, star scorer who can score in the 4th quarter.

Until then, we will be the losers of the Western Conference, getting excited about beating shitty teams like the 76ers and Minnesota.

Good post Marcus. As the world of Nellie turns again… fire Nellie now! This guys reminds me of a drunk old fool out there. We need a new leader folks. Start from scratch now because you know that old guy won’t make it through the year next year. He is gonna take the money and run. If he doesn’t get it. He will sue Cohen just like Cuban a few years ago. That might be a good thing though….

Marcus, I agree, I’m all for trading the pick. They have enough potential and young dudes. I think they should look at Earl Watson, Kirk Hinrich, Jason Kidd or Ramon Sessions.

Also what do you think of this trade?

Wright, Belinelli, Crawford and the first rounder for Chris Bosh.

Marcus good read again. I would love if the Warriors were able to get Jerry West as our GM. I have been hoping for that ever since he left memphis. I would even venture to say that he would probably be able to reign in Nellie and give the club the push in the right direction they need. Imagine, I think the aura of West would be able to overshadow the power of Nellie and actually cause for the development of a great coach/gm relationship. Obviously i know this would probably never happen b/c COHAN has no foresight but if it did…ohhhhh man.

Tomorrow night’s game against San Antonio will show us how far we still have to go before we are a legitimate NBA team………….

I invite Warrior fans to pay attention to the Spurs team, their coaches and their players during the game, the way they interact, the way they play as a team, the way they hold each other accountable and then come and tell me what a real NBA team should be.

Tomorrow, we will be playing a team that is the exact oppposite of us. Direction as oppposed to mis-direction, philosophy as opposed to bullshit, accountabillity as opposed to aloofness.

Spurs vs. Warriors.

I agree with Marcus about getting an established NBA player like Nash, for example, right now.

Fuck these rookies, Blake Griffin, Ricky Rubio, we will just be shooting ourselves in the foot……..forget building on more young talent, we now need a proven NBA star player who is established in the league.
