NOTHING annoys me more than people disrespecting the talent on this team to make the stopgap coach look good. We got talent, more talent than that team last year that won 26 games. Sadly, this team would be over .500 right now if Nellie were still here.

ha! dwright can defend?

but yeah, the roster is full of scrubs and stiffs. not much keith can do but play the young guys… oh wait, better just to play the starters in the 4th quarter of a blowout.

Keith is doing fine. Warriors fans need to take a look at the roster and be honest with themselves. He’s making a decent cake with poor ingredients. We’re lucky we’re not in the bottom dregs of the league. We only have 1 player (d. wright) that can defend, and only 2 that can score consistently (ellis, curry).

just heard fitzy boy for the millionth time mention warriors starters and how great they are. Well yes idiot…..this is what happens when you get a coach that barely uses his bench and the right guys off the bench…this is also why they can’t win at the end of games…..they are spent……get a clue bob….this is why they have no inside game….maybe the 5th guy in the starting lineup ever say had 10 points or more we might win……learn the game announcer boy

Number 14 comment is right on the money. I strongly encourage fans out there to voice their opinions regarding the insanity of keith smart’s substitutions. I have absolute had it with this bunch of junk. Who cares now about biedrins: just get rid of him take the big hit or dump him off in a trade that we better make before the deadline. Udoh, Amundson, BWright have absolutely no chance to show that if you rotate this players in and out that they are 100times better than gadzuric, biedrins, and vlad. It took Vlad about 25 games to break through yet he barely gives any chance to let those other players to get any kind of rythmn. This is the most worthless garbage coach….and quite honestly i think he is sabotaging this team……go to he hell coach smart

Keith Smart is a HORRIBLE coach. Now I understand Joe Lacob when he questioned Smart’s rotations. Dan Gadzuric had a great game against the Kings, his energy was huge that game. So what happens against the Clippers, one of the best rebounding teams in the league? DNP-CD. Smart plays VladRad at PF, and without a center most of the game. WTF, is it any wonder why we get destroyed on that glass? Can’t even secure a rebound off a missed FT. Insane.

you know what? I think it might be a combination of both luck and not genius but smart being just that, smart. With the game on the line you want the ball in your best player’s habds whether to shoot it for the win or look for the right pass to the player cutting to the hoop for the winning basket, in essence making the right decision. This I think has two fold effect on the situation where you instill a confidence in the team wherer it knows it can rely on a player with the ability to take victory out of the jaws of defeat and it also gives that player the sense that when the game is on the line I have what it takes to be that difference maker, that star that rises above the rest. Make no mistake not everyone has that capability because of the pressure it takes to make that clutch shot. We are seeing the emergence of a super player in the making. Curry has the same kind of ingredients but his shine is different than Monta’s. Good Article Marcus!

The warriors down by nine-who goes off? None other than Mr. Curry-this backcourt has a lot of moxie.

Seemed like it took Smart a long time to realize that AB was gettin it handed to him. He played Gadz much more in the 2nd half and imo that was the difference

Sacramento has the basketball IQ of a rock.

Didn’t they see the tape of Monta from the day before? Or at least hear about it?

Wouldn’t you send a double-team at Monta and force him to give up the ball to say, D. Lee or D. Wright with time running out?

No wonder Sac. is going for the top 3 picks in the draft every year.

With ‘Reke and Cuz, they’re half way to being totally insane.
