The Warriors were pretty much injury free?
Cohan 2.0??
You chimps, chumps and bandwagon jumpers are ridiculous. The Warriors were damn close to being Memphis this year. What stopped it was a spout of 12-15 games without 2-3 of our PF’s. That dug the team a hole in which it could not recover. The Warriors are a team on the cusp of the playoffs. I thought the run would begin this year but “Oh well” it didn’t. Looks like (with health) the Warriors should be at least .500 next year, fighting for a 6-8 seed.

Kieth Smart did a good job this year. He had injuries and wasnt sure how to best utilize his roster but he showed improvent. Vlad looked serviceable this year, the best he’s looked since scoring 20 something for the Clips. He’s learning his rotations as he goes but next year should be loads better. He’ll have a better understanding of what this team needs in the offseason and draft. And will have a voice to do it. Smart needs a 2-3 year extension flat out.
Chemistry is very important and has been addressed. Signing DLee was a great move. Too bad Wilson Chandler has a dirty mouth. As he got more comfortable this season he played the best 4 for us since CWebb. A 20-10 PF comes to a high scorig team and he averages, what?, 15-8 or 15-9? He needs more than we got from ABiedrins down low. Udoh was a solid pick. Sure I wouldve taken Monroe BUT let’s deal with what we have. Udoh is a terror on low post D and shows just as much as we got from BWright or Randolph. DWright looks like a steal right now. RWilliams may get a nice 4yr deal or be tendered. Beidrins becomes an expiring contract year after or gets bought out. The Warriors are in prime position to become, once again relevant in the West.

While many fans are losing patience. We are closer to being a better team. Monte is great. Curry is getting better. David Lee (after injury) is blending in and becoming a solid piece of the puzzle. Udoh (after injury)is showing he is part of the future. Wright is definitely part of the future.

We still need a starting big, back up point guard and more bench depth. Warriors could have maybe won 10 – 12 games but still are several player short of a true playoff team that will go deep.

Go Warriors!!!

The Warriors get 35 wins and just fall short of their goal, once again.

The addition of Al Thornton will be great if he’s on the team next year, they should be an improved team with his athleticism and toughness.

Before the Dallas Mavericks game I noticed Larry Riley talking it up with Keith Grant about Brendan Haywood.

hey warriorsrules….you’re absolutely right about Smart’s Dumb rotations….he doesn’t provide rest at the right time, brings onto the floor groups of players where no one can score, destroys the confidence of scorers (i.e. Reggie, Curry), believes in the unbelievable (Amundsen, Biedrins, Radmanovic), and always has a longwinded self justification after the games for why there was another loss and then he has the gall to talk about building the future of the team when he must know his head is on the chopping block…his neck, that is…..but if management brings in one of the good old boy network coaches named Van Gundy or some other retread, we’re doomed again….and Mike Brown? Give me a you know what break. Mike Brown couldn’t coach a girls’ middle school team. I don’t think Nelson would have got us to the playoffs, but…we’ll never know……the dance goes on….and please please please…I want, as a loyal fan, somebody to tell me why Charlie Bell is even permitted to wear a uniform….it’s a blankin’ joke…..if he’s healthy, play his ass, even if he’s just there so we can eat his contract…it’s Marcus Williams nonsense all over again….so many players just tossed away….Morrow, Watson, Maggette, Wright…..for nuttin!!

Not gonna happen. Warriors as of this point will be lucky to win in Sacramento the rest of the way.

10 game improvement over last year means nothing because last season was filled with injuries and d-league players and it doesn’t count. a real improvement would be 42 wins. i am truly disappointed by keith smart’s substitution patterns this year and the firing of don nelson. i truly felt that nellie could have done a better job with this roster and we would have been in the playoff race.

can we trade the whole team?

seriously….could we somehow take a big chance and offer a lot of our stuff for Greg Oden? He’d give us the size we haven’t had since skinny Ralph Sampson and Joe Barely Cared…

Looks like the home game vs. the Kings and Blazers are the only chance for wins . Let’s hope the W’s can at least avoid 50 losses this year. Baby steps.

I play old school which means I am a sore ass looser. If I was there, I would ask my players to play dirty – have some damn shame and damn pride. Ain’t nobody going to step all over me and my team and thats for damn sure!

Another loss… awesome! Charlotte just passed us, now we are slotted #10 in the lotto. Isn’t this great? Milwaukee is just 1 game behind. And they have a much easier remaining schedule than us. #9 slot is pretty much likely at this point.
