Now that Nellie and Cohan are gone, who is Mr. K and others going to blame should the season go sideways for the W’s? Maybe blame Kermit the Frog!

It would be interesting as I am hopeful that we will do well this year but realistic that we have some talent albeit limited.

Lets watch Kawakami as he easily put the bullseye on Coach Nelson.

Ewok, the only place Nellie dismantled what he built was GS. He built a dynasty im Milwaukee that lasted 10 years. He built another in Dallas by drafting Dirk and signing Nash. He didn’t let Nash go.

I hated he came back to GS. He had left so much bad blood there and it waited on him. I have never seen sportswriters feast on an old man with more vigor. It was very distasteful, particularly in that he gave you thrills you didn’t expect in the first year, a winning record in the second that would have taken them to the playoffs the second year. Then Baron left and after Baron left a lot of things happened–Harrington, Randolph, whatever–most of which were born out of proportion. Those guys really weren’t going to make a difference. My bet is Nellie thought he would have Baron one more year and be competitive. I wish he had left when Baron did. I would have had to read a lot less uninformed commentary from Mr. K, who played ping pong once and then just went home and practiced being vile. As things went down, Nellie gave the city better than it deserved. As always, it was ownership that failed the city.

I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE SAY ABOUT NELLIE. HE WAS THE ONLY COACH THAT BROUGHT ENERGY TO OAKLAND. ALL THE OTHER COACHES WE HAD DIDNT BRING ANYTHING. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING NELLIE. YOU WERE THE BEST COACH THE WARRIORS EVER HAD.

Nellie – It was fun while it lasted. You are a good coach no matter what anyone says. This guy is a professional and took pride in his work. It is hard to tell given the amount or lack of sufficient talent with the W’s. As I stated, if Nellie was put in a better team like the Cavs last year with LBJ, who knows what would have happened. This was not the case so adios for now. Thank you for the fun you brought into the W’s the second time around.

Aloha!

Thx Nellie! Not putting you in the hall of fame makes the selection commitee look pretty silly.

Actually, Riley is doing a good job.

For the limited resources he have not to mention the low appeal of our team from descent players, Riley did a good job.

We still have a core to revolve around, We still have a potential to grow and surpass expectations. It will be all hard work and we are just one player away from a championship and that will be big man for sure in tandem with David Lee.

I have a feeling things are going to be ok than we expect just do something with the curse of injuries.
