I just wish we had coaches that could teach these talents young players how to win in the NBA and that it starts with defense..

I think the coaches need to take some of the blame for the lack of progress with AR in his second year..

I can’t wait until this coaching regime is gone and hopefully we will get a head coach who understands that to really be successful long term in the NBA it starts with defense, not some gimmicking fast break small ball where you score alot and give up more..Entertaining but you have zero chance ever to be taken seriously..

Hey Warriors front office, here’s a concept for you, try to actually win, not just be entertaining..

Nelly get your 12 wins and go back to Maui, your stunting these young players growth teaching them bad habits and playing mind games..

I think when we get a chance to see B. Wright’s growth and AR’s growth side by side hopefully next season…we will see that B. Wright has a better chance of becoming a good NBA player that can play in this league a long time, if he avoids injuries. I think B. Wright will be the better NBA player.

I think B. Wright is a more disciplined player on both ends of the court than A. Randolph. Offensively, he’s more patient with his game, a better low post scorer and doesn’t force jump shots 18 feet away from the basket, if he knows he can’t make it.

Also, defensively, B. Wright is a better weak side shot blocker and stays “down” on bigger players in the block better.

Can’t wait to see B. Wright back and hope he stays healthy.

my guess is he probably won’t do it. This sounds like a case of the Jamarcus syndrome.

Hard to judge AR. Been playing the 3-4-5.
Inconsistant minutes at various positions equal inconsistant play.
We all see his talents/skill set. But we also see how he is underachieving.
It’s always better to be playing instead of watching.
But let’s hope he gains some insight while observing

will he have an epiphany?

There goes any hope of the Warriors making a trade. Tank the season for John Wall and play Wall, Monta, and Curry together!

I think the time off can help his game but randolph is goin to be a star once he understands that the game is more mental than physical anyway

It really depends on the individual, some players just need to play, interesting theory though, could help him and also make him appreciate the game more once he comes back, he sure has the talent so maybe its a blessing in disguise.

The injury described on the broadcast was worse – multiple torn ligaments and an avulsion fracture. Not good.

fyi. usually by watch film, players are talking about past games which you watch to correct mistakes such as misreads, assignment mistakes & what not. usually you have a film session the next practice after games with the coaching staff where they go over stuff on a general schematic level, but it’s always good to put in the time individually to pick apart your own game.

at least that’s what watching film meant in college.

not a good sign that AR isn’t a student of the game – though not surprising based on the way he plays. btw, didn’t monta mention something like this as well? let’s hope this time he listens.

I just hope he listens to Turiaf’s advise… Most kids in their 20′s in college likes to slack off…
