David Lee Out for Today’s Game; Dominic McGuire to Start
By Marcus Thompson
Monday, January 2nd, 2012 at 1:10 pm in David Lee, Dominic McGuire.
For the third straight game, Golden State will be missing a starter. Warriors forward David Lee will not only miss today’s game, he’s not even in attendance.
Lee is pretty ill. So ill, he was at a local hospital instead of warming up. They aren’t sure yet whether it’s food poisoning, the flu or some kind of virus.
Dominic McGuire will start in David Lee’s place. He has the responsibility of staying glued to Channing Frye, the Suns’ 3-point shooting big man. That might help the Warriors on the defensive end as McGuire may be better able to contest Frye.
Without Lee, Golden State will be without their leading rebounder (8.0) and second-leading scorer (18.8)

This team is just short on talent. One ailment, one missing starter and there goes strings of games down the toilet. The front office with their good will / good intentions will need to rebuild credibility to attract top talent. $$$s will not cut it anymore. A winning attitude plus a winning culture will attract good talent. I am surprised that Ellis has not asked for a trade to a winning team.
Cousins appear to request a trade. He maybe a possibility but he needs a major attitude adjustment.

this is a defensive team

107 points allowed vs. Philly
102 points allowed vs. Phoenix
Mr. Jackson, your team is not playing defense.

[...] down, see here. Golden State was without David Lee, who earlier in the day was hospitalized with an undetermined illness. Former Wizard/King/Bobcat Dominic McGuire stepped in and actually played pretty admirably, [...]
