Yeah…..that’s the problem “Scotty”……Warrior fans never talk about Championships……

We’re so happy with the bare minimum………..a couple of young, talented players, 1 playoff appearance and 2 winning seasons in a decade….

Give me Tony Parker’s resume any day of the week, I’ll take that instead.

But I understand what you mean.

“James Worthy”, I think you’re confusing what I meant. I’m talking about finishing at the rim. He led the league last year in field goal percentage inside the key. I’m not talking about overall field goal percentage or ability to win championships or anything like that. IMHO, and admittedly I’m totally biased, when he’s full healthy, Monta finishes at the rim better than any other little guard.

In case people were wondering, here are some of Harrington’s numbers since he joined the Knicks, proving he’s selfish and not a winning player (not that Crawford is either)

Overall the Knicks are 22-38 with him,

He takes the most shots on the team, over 2 more than Nate Robinson, though he is far from the top in FG%

When he scores 25 pts: 7 wins, 12 losses

When he scores 20: 10 wins 20 losses

When he reaches his average of 17 FGAs: 10 wins, 26 losses!

But wait the Warriors are like 20-40 with Crawford

What a dumb trade. Maybe it’ll make some W’s fans feel a little better though, hahaha

What does it matter who loses the game at the end, we just continue to lose close games, which is a sure sign of a young team..I just wish we had a coach who was suited for the team that we have..

The Warriors have the best two shooters as far as 3 pt % goes. Marrow 48%, Azu 46%, yet they are in the middle of pack pct. wise because Jackson, Crawford and Maggette all take many more threes than our top two guys.

Also, can anyone pass Marrow the ball, other than Ronny?

A lasting image of this year is seeing our “vets” going 1-on-4, while Marrow is left to flap his arms wildly, while is he open in the corner for an easy 3. (for him.)

Just guys going out to get their numbers, that’s what the Warriors are. No teamwork, sharing the glory.

Jack should have called timeout. Jack getting pinned after the rebound threw a wrench in the whole thing. He was unable to get the ball to Monta quickly, it made Monta think there was less time on the clock than it really was.

Correction on my last post……..the MLK day loss against the T-Wolves was last year, in 2007-2008 not 2008-2009, like I wrote.

I remember that game “Jim”…..I was at the game…..what a disspointment…..as I recall, I think one Corey Maggette lit us up that night…….we were down big, then made it a game in the 4th only to lose on the BD turnover.

Also guys, remember last year’s MLK day home loss to the T-Wolves when Al Harrington missed the take to the basket and BD missed the follow up for one of our most dissapointing losses on 2008-2009?

But then I remember the Celtics game at the beginning of the 2007-2008 season with the game winning Baron 3, then the game winning 3 against the Lakers at Oracle by BD in 2007-2008.

There is no question that Baron is much more poised to manage a shot clock on the road at the end of the game against a great team..every player makes mistakes once in a while……but finishing the game like that is not Monta Ellis’s role……..Baron is a much better handler of the shot clock, distributor and PG and he is more confident and a better player.

Baron…. Against the Clippers…. 18 painful seconds. Then he dribbled the ball off his foot and the clock ran out. Montgomery wanted to kill him.

But at least now we know why Sterling was interested in him!

I agree with you Marcus on Tony Parker being the best finishing small guard in the league…….he always gets in the paint, just like Monta, and always is among the league leaders in FG%.

And “Scotty”….you’re right, in the 2nd half of the 2007-2008 season, Monta led all guards in FGP%, that’s why he’s the second best finishing small guard in the NBA, behind Tony Parker. Tony Parker is a Champio and a winner who has led some great teams to Championships. I was never a big fan, I thought he was a little soft when he came in the league, but last night…..30 points and 10 assists………guys, it just doesn’t get any better than that.

I think when it’s all said and done, Patrick Mills of Saint Mary’s will find himself in that group in a few years.

Notable names to mention, Allen Iverson…..can finsih on both sides of the basket, but he doesn’t have as good a left hand finish as Monta, Aaron Brooks of Houston isn’t bad, he can get in the paint, but I don’t know if he can finish with both hands from both sides of the basket (left side and right side) like Monta and Tony.
