I recently heard a caller today comment on warriors backcourt and Biedrins. The afternoon talk show host bob fitzgerald I believe didn’t even let the caller finish what he had to say. Isiah Thomas and Joe Dumars were on teams that had other tougher players and if he had any basketball knowledge….Joe Dumars is 5x a better defender than monta or curry. Also if he bothered to hear the caller out he probably didn’t want to hear that there is no pressure to guard anyone else but lee who is playing with one arm right now……this is exactly why you can’t pay one person 9million to be absolutely and non scoring threat which means they should never have signed biedrins in the first place…..get a clue talk radio homer announcer

If they are only going to play the guy 10min then put in that J Lin to see if he can play

19. Garrett….calling yourself optimistic is the understatement of the year. The Warriors are way out of the playoff picture and all the team you listed are WAY more talented than the Warriors…especially Utah and OKC.

Utah doesn’t have big men after Fesenko? He’s there worst big. Milsap, jefferson, Ak, Okur are better than anyone on the Warriors. They have one of the deeper frontlines in the NBA that I’ve seen in the last 10 years.

I would swap rosters right now with Sacramento or Clippers right now. If for no other reason than they have young talent and lots of cap space. Warriors don’t have either.

Call me optimistic or just plain crazy but I think its too early to count us out the playoff picture. Look at the bubble teams ; Portland B.Roy is playing less b/c he’s suffering from a non-recoverable injury and.. Oden’s out. The Suns can score but cant defend and they’re bench is shallow of big men. The Jazz are just as shallow in big men after Fesenko and he’s not even that good. OKC isn’t unbeatable, the warriors almost proved that. Im not counting on a miracle but the warriors are only a trade or two from being a WAY better team. Sacramento, LA CLippers can’t say that. Im eager to see what Riley’s next move is and if it involves some D-League prospects. Carney’s contract isn’t guaranteed so he could be waived for someone better Look , Next season might not happen , and if it does come to that , are you really willing to wait until December 14 2012 to say “we gotta chance this year” ?

@ Deano…yes, probably true about not making the playoffs this year, even under the best of circumstances, however, they could (have been?) a 35-45 win team, under the best of circumstances and this would be reasonable progress, even if it is not good enough to get to the post-season in the very tough Western Conference. Look at the givens, now, in the West. Lakers, Spurs, Mavs, Hornets (in a big rebound from last year), Thunder, Nuggets, and Jazz. These are all virtual shoe-ins to win 50+ games this year. Lagging shortly behind are Portland and Phoenix, both of whom will probably win 40+ and even Memphis is playing better as of late. Houston is a bit of a surprise in their fall…It is a brutal conference to be part of, but this makes a near .500 season a good season. Another 25 win campaingn? Ugghh!

Dubfan: Thanks for the news about GSW’s tough schedule thusfar. Combined with all of GSW’s injuries, the current record is easier to accept. Regardless, we need to remind ourselves that the Warriors were not going to make the Playoffs this season even if everything broke right for them.

no one expects Ellis to get calls….when he drives there’s a picket fence waiting and he understandably dishes it outside where without curry we have only DWright and Reggie to shoot…and then it’s live by the jump shot die by th ejump shot…..also did anyone really think we had a chance when one of the refs is the famously bigoted anti-Warrior ref Tony Brothers? that guy needs to be sent to another planet….

fans out there please we can’t tolerate this team anymore. can in and complain and blast the organization on the radio and speak your mind. you don’t deserve paying these tickets and getting a product that is bottom standard. We have to get rid of andris biedrins and play the younger players. why sit players when you still lose. rookies have to play. so what if they are rookies. this team doesn’t build talent and is a complete joke. fans we need to hammer this point home on radio and all over print media so there’s pressure to get rid of andris biedrins and the other useless players. most of all we need to get rid of biedrins. i totally agree with comment 15

It doesn’t matter who the coach is – this roster doesn’t have anywhere near enough talent to win. Roster is 2 star players away – just like all of the other garbage teams in the league. I just want to see stability at the coaching position – Smart has credibility as a guy who can teach young players.

Also, it’s Silly to talk about offense or defense as if one is so much more important than the other. They both matter and players that are good on both sides of the ball win. Ellis is the closest thing the team has to a complete player. Everyone else is just a role player – with significant weaknesses, no matter their strengths. Until they fill out the roster with more complete players they are going to keep losing.
