He’s not my favorite player, but what contender wouldn’t want a guy who could get them to the foul line consistently at crunch time. The thing is it’s probably not to his advantage to go to the hole that often with the Ws. He’s getting some age, he has a history of injuries, he’s trying to stay in the rotation when the Ws don’t have many players.

The guy the fans have to get on is Monta. When he distributes, the Ws have a chance. He’s a much more important distributor than Maggete, whose role is to shoot. I am not saying boo Monta. God no. The problem is everyone takes his or her views on ownership on the least favorite coach or player of the moment. It’s not making GS a more desirable destination for players any more than the Monta fine did. It’s just Cohan and his Pips (and that little heart-breaker TK) doing all they can to keep a good franchise down.

Reading that and your recent use of “soley” for “solely,” it its clear how you need an editor to correct for your poor writing ability.

There’s no one to help you on your blog? Perhaps you can take a class at UC Extension on how to write. Just how did you get your job?

And there are many, many other examples of just what a poor writer you truly are.

Blowing a play in key time of the game may make the better the next time, or it may not put them in the position next time because they’re scared they can turn it over again.

You have to play them in positions to succeed for the team. Especially this early in the season.

We know they’re far from Playoff contenders, but I’m glad Monta is talking about the need to win games to keep them in the hunt.

As far fetched as it sounds to the fans, would you rather him say, “Forget winning this year we need to focus on getting our youngs up to speed for next year.”

I think we see as much of Curry as we should be seeing. It’s little things that he needs to work on, not major. When he shows he’s better than CJ he’ll be playing. When he proves he can lead us he’ll be playing and not CJ.

We do need more Randolph though…he doesn’t seem as much a liability as last year. Just wish he would shoot less from the perimeter and take it in. Unfortunately his jumper is hitting a little more often which will keep him from trying to take it in more.

My only issue is why Anthony Randolph played so little. Doesnt see the floor in Q1, Q2 he dominates with 7 points, 6 boards, 4 assists, and 2 blocks… then can’t get back on the floor till only a few minutes remained in Q3! Why do you take the single most effective player in the game off the floor for 10 minutes while the Nets go on a big run?

Otherwise…

Moore looked good offensively, but finished as the only player with a negative +/-. It was only -1, but when he was on the floor, the Nets made their runs.

Vlad looked as good as he can look. Shooting, rebounding… the Warriors are the perfect fit for him.

Watson was dominant in the passing lanes. Great game from CJ and what I’d like to see every game from him.

Curry looked terrific, but Watson was getting more turnover/fastbreaks so it was tough to get him on the floor. He continues to improve in all facets of the game.

Morrow and Monta looked bad… but at least Monta was getting in the lanes. Monta had a very good 2nd half all around but was a nightmare in the first.

Let’s see if they can duplicate this vs better opponents. The Nets are REALLY bad.

As usual, Nellie/Smart just doesn’t get it. This team isn’t a playoff team – they should be playing Curry & Randolph more to get them as much experience as possible.

Yes, players develop off the court (primarily in the offseason), but they gain experience on the court. and that experience is invaluable.

OKC’s staff understood this and are reaping the benefits now. Sac’s staff understands this and will someday reap the benefits of the extensive PT they’ve extended their youth last year & this year. Meanwhile the W’s staff continues to waste PT on guys who won’t be here in a year or two. All in the effort to eek out a few more wins. Thus ensuring that they have a lower draft pick. As Charlie Brown would say, “Good Grief”.
