Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Recipe for Warriors Success

(1) 6'9"+ young power forward
(1) reliable, veteran power forward or center
(1) young backup point guard
(2) Cups of 3PT shooting self-restraint
Lots of D-E-F-E-N-S-E

Sauté entire team in healthy dose of TANK SAUCE before every game.  

Start all healthy, young, bench players for the remaining 23 games.  If necessary, find more young players at your local D-League market.  Observe a controlled slide to bottom of the western conference, as well as a nice burn-in of POB, Powell, and Kelenna.

Be careful to strain and remove any Pietrus chunks you find in the sauce (especially when he makes plays that cause Jim Barnett to say, "you just don't do that").  Trade Pietrus chunks for any veteran 4/5 with a reasonable contract.

Place all injuries in a separate pan and set aside to rest for at least a month.  Do not add to the mix until the season has just finished marinating, to infuse some flavor and excitement for next year.

Now collect your draft picks.  There should be at least one in the top 10, if the TANK SAUCE was applied correctly in the first step.  Use to acquire a young power forward that can rebound and be productive immediately (such as Brandan Wright, Al Horford, Joakim Noah, or Yi Jianlian).

Use remaining pick to draft a point guard to be groomed as backup (Crittenton, if he comes out, Aaron Brooks, or maybe Shakur).  If no good point guards are available, draft the best available player and trade for the point guard you want.  Immediately throw away Jasikevicius.

When you remove from the oven next year, observe plenty of depth at the 1 and 4.  If all of the depth is at the 2/3, you've done something terribly wrong.  As you prepare to serve, continuing adding DEFENSIVE ACCOUNTABILITY and 3PT SHOOTING RESTRAINT every game, or the whole recipe may spoil.

Makes [up for] 13 [missed] servings of playoff goodness.

Tasty Post
Only thing to add is we need the Chef to grow a pair over the summer to help season the stew :-)

i'll take mine well done...
...might want to re-evaluate the chef as well.

to think, Pietrus had trade value just a couple of months ago.  more great personnel judgment by our soon to be hall-of-famer.

well, as much as you can believe...
...the local & national media.  when the dunmurphy trade went down it was mentioned numerous times that the Warriors cap help was necessary to insure they could pay Monta and Pietrus next year.  i inferred that Pietrus was thought to be a valuable commodity because of this prevailing sentiment.  too bad he played the second half of the season and revealed himself to be what he's always been.

Your Main Ingredient
The main ingredient to your formula will prove to be an issue most likely.  All of the people you list as the 6'9+ forward are more than likely to go in the top 10 of the NBA draft.  Good idea, but the GSW are SOL if they do b/c they are #11 in 07.

good game on the 3 point restraint, nobody has it, except maybe the two most likely best three point shooters on the team, Bookie and Sarunas.  I'm unsure why Sarunas won't shoot more often, I don't see him being much of a threat in a 1 on 1 situation going to the basket in traffic, he's an ok passer, but I see him as more of an outside shooting threat.  Nelson gives him limited time, why not shoot the open shots I know he can make on a pick and pop or when they give him no respect (all the time) when the defender goes under the screen.

by david240z on Mar 1, 2007 9:39 AM PST reply actions  

shoot more often
I think Sarunas doesn't shoot more often because he is to slow to get open often.  I think he is to slow to even run off screens

I like this but it is tougher than it seems
most of the league covets 6'9 power forwards.  That is the hardest postion to fill.  Shooting guards like J-rich are more common.

Pietrus is gone but he has no value

I think they need a vet back-up point rahter than a young guy.  I am thinking a guy like Snow who can give you soild minutes, can D up and who can settle a team down.  Doesn't even matter if he can shoot

by Zig on Mar 1, 2007 9:44 AM PST reply actions  

great recipe but....
i've found that adding any joakim noah will actually cause many ingredients to sour and result in a bitter, inedible dish.  

that guy's a train wreck  

by redape on Mar 1, 2007 9:56 AM PST reply actions  

yeah
he has bust written all over him imo. and with our luck we'll be the ones to draft him

by AJC3317 on Mar 1, 2007 11:07 AM PST up reply actions  

It's a good recipe, let's add a few ingredients.
  1.  trade the 2 of the 4 guys we picked up in the trade.  Al Scarrington and Yesiamaslowasssbiaatch.
  2.  Play powell at the powerforward for the rest of the season and see if this kid can board and work on a low post game.  If he fits the bill no need to draft a PF unless we tank it so badly that we move up in draft status.
  3.  Maybe we can trade for someone or pick up a guy that is a free agent is AK47 available.
  4.  Get Nelson to belive that his team needs to play defense to win and not just run and gun(look what Avery did with your talented team that consistently failed by promoting DEFENSE)
  5.  Knock off a few NBA officials until they get the point that we're sick of getting crap calls every game including those at home, I'm sick of REFS in this league.  Even when they look directly at a foul they still won't call it sometimes.  Why does Biedrins pick up touch fouls on the block against post players #$^$&$%#$!!  It's the post you push and shove that's what happens, get over your selves and call a fair game.
Peace,Love, Let's get a win PLEASE I'm losin' it!!!!

Sounds Scrumdiddlyicious!
Fantastic post, EWO. Actually, I seem to remember offering up a spoonful o' the old Tank Sauce early on in the season -- but, understandably, at that point most of the GSoM community wasn't quite ready to say "Aahhhhh..."

Well, now it seems like most of us are ready for our medicine, so pssst ... while no one's looking, here's an extra bottle of that magical elixir:

(Feel free to replace "Yi" with "Durant" or "Horford" -- it's a 5-month old medication!)
