Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Don't worry, Everything is going to plan!!!!!!

Well since we are all fans I guess we should worry. Cohan and Rowell got what they wanted. A team to make them money, just a team that will be exciting to watch but will never win it all. Why would they want that? If us Warrior fans get used to being a top 5 team in the west consistantly or even get the taste of the championship, we won't be selling out the Roaracle for a team that may make the 8th spot. If they keep us in limbo where we just pray to make the playoffs, they win, because if we make the lottery we can hope for the 8th spot next year, but if we are the 4 seed, next year we would want the 2 seed. Look at Laker fans, they cry and leave early if they are losing, and they don't show up if they're not 1-3 in the West. Cohan and Rowell don't want to have to worry about building a contender. If they can get us used to paying hella skrilla for mediocrety(which they have) why would they want us to get used to a winner.  It's simple, they've kept us hoping for the 8th spot for 13 years, and we got it once, then we just barely missed the 8th seed, and now we are praying for it again. And if you think I'm bitter about it and am just making BS accusations and I have no proof, let's look what are front office has been up to.

First off, I'm not sure letting Baron go was a good idea, I thought Corey would make up for it, but I'm not sure. We still could've got Ronny for Pietrus' and Barnes' money. Our Lineup would've been Boom, Monta, Jack, BWright and Biedrins for the next 3 years. Al would NOT have been traded for Jamal. Instead for the next 3 years we have a starting lineup that has Monta, Jamal, Jack, Corey, and Biedrins.

That is an exciting lineup, but that is not going to win anything. Now if we were playing Dallas as the 1 seed from 2 years ago, we would kill them, but unfortunately the elite teams in the west are teams like LAL, Utah, and Houston. We are not going to play good defense or rebound against those teams. Also, why would we extend Nellie? Because Nellie knows how to put a high powered offensive lienup on the court but he won't have them playing D or reboudning. When Monta Ellis is the third best rebounder in your starting 5, you're in trouble. We have commited Corey Maggette to be our pf for 3 more years, CRAP!! He can play well there once in awhile, but he can't go there everygame for the majority of the time. Nellie is killing BWright's game. The kid could be a legit PF in this league by next year. Nellie is the coach you get to fill seats, he's the second winningest coach of all time, but he's not in the hall of fame because he has never even made it to the finals.

The best thing we can hope for is that Monta is only healthy enough to be our 6th man. Although Nellie will force him to start even at 80%. BWright will get to develop this year as the starting PF most nights. At the end of the year, Crawford decides to opt out, he has the option. Nellie realizes that Brandon needs to start and play more.  We could also work on a trade to get rid of Jack, Maggs, or Jamal. But in all honesty, we should keep everyone and just hope Jamal opts out, because having him and Monta is redundant, especially when Maggs has to be a pf, plus we would have him and Adonal's salaries off the books after this year. Lastly, Nellie steps down and Jim Barnett decides to coach. He has been watching these kids play for a few years, he knows what kind of ball they're designed for, and he isn't going to small us out of games. He knows the game better than the back of his hand. Also someone would need to assassinate Cohan and Rowell, takers? How much would a hit cost? If we all decided to not throw a GSoM night for awhile it may be worth it to spend our money elsewhere.

Go SHARKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Typo?

Did you just say Jim Barnett could be our coach? He might be as dillusional and bad of an announcer as John Madden..

Nah dude that was more of a joke.

I wanted to end the post on some humorous notes. Although if you think Barnett and Madden are comparable announcers, it would be good for us if he was hired and they were comparable coaches. And I actually like Barnett. I think he knows the game. He’s a lot better than a lot of the fools for other teams, and even better than some people on TNT and ESPN

Nah dude that was more of a joke.

  Madden was a great coach and very popular announcer. Barnett is a good announcer and has the basketball knowledge to be a good coach, don’t know if he’s every shown any interest in it though?

Man I feel everything in this post.

The Barnett thing is funny, not sure if that’s intended. You nailed the front office without even mentioning Mully and it is clear that Nellie is past his prime. Our team is in the hands of businessmen who want money not fans who want rings.We should look into a hitman…

Barnett repeats the same things every damn game.

Using the rim for not get your ass blocked.
Use the damn backboard.
All missed shots are okay for any player as long as they are wide open. Even 8 feet behind the three point line.
Don’t cock it on a dunk.
two 4 one all day
Bigs =/ Taking Charges
Offensive player always gets the airball
Oddly he doesn’t say anything when the defensive player gets the airball but when the offensive player gets it he has to mention it.
Jack is a catalyst.
Andris has really soft hands.
Rondo has big sasquatch hands.

That’s what happened to me. I love Bob & Jim, unlike many Warriors fans.

Also on jumpballs

He always shows how cool he is for knowing where the ball is going to go.

Why wont the warrior commentators tell the Warriors what their mistakes are OVER AND OVER again

because they are absalutely correct, but it’s easier said than done. But looking at the way the warriors rebound, it’s like they don’t give a shit about getting the rebound because they’re off and running to the other side of the court.

it’s like they don’t give a shit about getting the rebound because they’re off and running to the other side of the court.

  Cause Nellie benches the slowest guy down the court so they all run like hell to try and stay in the game.

Maybe cuz the things he says are true?? he is there to analyze the game, fitz is there for color commentating . As smearthebeard mentioned, you should be thankful we have bob and jim. Alot of the other commentators in the league suck major balls. Most of them are VERY biased for there home team. They also don’t know anything about the other team and normally mispronounce our players’ names. “Azibikay”…If you pay attention to what Bob and Jim say, they are very respectful of the other team and even call out any bad calls that go for the warriors. If you listen to KNBR, you would have known that bob and jim are one of the few commentators that are consulted by the NBA concerning missed calls.

To to the Defense of Bob and Jim

I must concur,I have NBA LP and have heard many of the other’s announcers (unfortunately) and we are WAAAAAY better off than most.
A couple of years ago there was a ranking (SI-NBA.com)of all the team’s TV commentary teams and our Warriors came in second !
