You’re fooling yourself, “Steve”

The Western Conference is a lot more stable and a lot better than you think.

I simply implied that the Golden State Warriors are one of the worst teams in the history of the NBA.

We are about 20 years away from a Championship and 5 years away from being a winning playoff team.

If you’re sensitive about that issue, “Oregon”..keep living in denial like your close friend, “Steve.”

There’s a lesson in there somewhere.

If they plan on keeping the pick I say draft Ty Evans. Evans is a safe pick, if he is really a pg we have the second coming of Penny a 6-6 pg. We could slide Monta to the 2 and have Ty guard the taller guys on D. If he does not develope into a pg he is a decent sg/sf its a safe pick to me.

J-Hill looks like a bust i see Sheldon Willams.
Jennings Has to many question marks, he has the tools to be great but I dont see the drive or attitude.

I am a die hard Warrior fan but I am mentally preparing myself for another rough year.

You talk alot… too much.

The Warriors need to draft a post player, only if he truly is a POST. The Warriors have Randolph (who I love, think he’ll be a star), and they have Jamario Davidson. Wright is gone. Or he needs to be.

Randolph is the future for the W’s, but he doesn’t have a post game. He’s a perfect PF for a transition offense, but when the Warriors are forced to play a half court game, they lack anyone who can score in the post, or defend the post.

If Hill is that player, the W’s should draft him. They should trade BWright; package him with Crawford for a veteran point guard, someone who can show Monta the ropes. Maybe a sign and trade with Dallas??

If Hill turns out to be a player, Randolph can play some at the 3. That would actually be a BIG GSW line-up, something we fans almost never see.

The only point guards I’d draft for the Warriors would be Steph Curry and Ty Lawson. Forget Jennings, Holiday or Flynn. We need someone who can help now.

The point I’m making is that the Spurs are active, at the very least, in trying to improve their squad and become a contender again.

What have we done so far?????????

Worked out a bunch of rookies that don’t really want to play for us?

Fired our GM and replaced him with a new one with years of experience but no real success record to speak of?

Glossed over problem issues by denying they exist?

Further alienated our 1 potential star player, Monta Ellis?

Was Larry Riley even aware that he was being shopped?

Now, who knows, RJ might have said, “Trade me to a contender”

But, coming from Milwaukee, I think anythign would have been an improvement for the guy….beggers can’t be choosey and let’s face it, he played for New Jersey too, not exactly a haven for NBA players.

The Spurs dumped a bunch of washed up garbage and picked up a legitimate wing player who attacks the basket in the half court as well as the open court.

He is similar to Corey Maggette, he is more athletic than Stephen Jackson…I think Richard Jefferson would be the #1 or #2 best player on a team like the Golden State Warriors.

Anyway, just another potential acquisition that went by the wayside…..

Last second losses to San Antonio and Cleveland actually exposed the 2 most glaring problems we had………..

1. No legitimate “go to” option in the 4th to attack the rim and draw fouls, putting the pressure on the defense

2. Absolutely 0 idea of the “team defense” concept

That Lebron James buzzer beater at Oracle was terribly defended.

The play was a disaster from the inbound pass.

You had 3/5 of the Warriors with their backs to the ball, # 1 rule in defense, watch the ball, follow the ball, keep your eye on the ball.

Those losses depress me more than they make me happy.

Rather than saying, “We were close, we could have won”…..those last second losses and 4th quarter meltdowns do more to show how much we’re lacking……than how much we have.

We have some major, major holes to fill……Defensively and offensively…..those need to be addressed or else we will find ourselves in the “Loser” group in the West,……you know, …..with the usual suspects like the Clippers, The Thunder, the Grizzlies…..
