awsome post! Post of the year right here^^^^

is because we should still be in the We Believe Era but stupid management decisions have pushed as back another 2-3 years.

From watching the Denver game on ESPN I gathered that the mainstream thinks we are worse than crap. It sounded like we don’t have a single thing they can compliment, so all they do is make fun of how bad we are.

Yet we’re overachieving with this massive turd of a roster. The Clippers, the Wizards, even the Wolves are pretty stacked compared to us right now.

I agree BUT—-if the front office does not fix their S%*^t we will be looking at another 12yr FU

Moral will be down from the players & Free agents will not want to come. At this point let’s BeReal. We do have a lot of talent and not being used the way it should, but Nellie is losing it. We all know this is not a playoff team for now, So I do not get nellie WTF!!!Let the young guns play and see what we have.

As far as Maggette—He is a decent player just not a fit for us
Jackson —is trying to play a star lead role and it is not his game
Nellie is putting players and expecting them to play a role they should not.
I went through 12 yrs and I just do not want to see the same thing again. But it sure seems we are going there. I will stick with my dubs good or bad, but I need a fix to see that we are heading in the right direction

They have on opportunity in the next couple years to make a very good team. Let’s hope they can get it Wright!

Front office dismantled a great, skilled, fun team. We are now left with a terrible, boring, sad, pathetic team. They raised ticket prices – which you wouldn’t do in a “rebuilding” year. After a couple great seasons we are now back at the bottom of the NBA barrel and the reason for that is front-office incompetence. If you don’t want to hear peoples opinions why do you look here. Bad teams deserve criticism.

When the Warriors committed over $30mm this year alone to free agents? Not to mention locking up those free agents through 2014 in many cases, tying up almost $200mm. Not to mention adding Crawford’s extra year at $10mm and Jackson’s extra 3 years at $9mm per. You’re talking over $200 million. Which brings me to my next point.

THIS IS NOT A REBUILDING YEAR. You don’t spend that kind of cash in a rebuilding year. This has been a massively destructive year from which the Warriors will have to rebuild.

why would we fire people and trade people after 20 games?! i mean COME ON have some patience!! what are we the sixers?! we aren’t a championship caliber team or a playoff caliber team in this western conference. we aren’t an elite team, we WERENT an elite team. people need to get over it.

this is a rebuilding year. they have been rebuilding ever since the last time they made the playoffs until the WE BELIEVE era, but as soon as we had a great team in 2007, they Fu*K it all up!
GO We USED TO BELIEVE!!!!!!

depressed sigh… ;{

Other than Belli, the only guys to groom with real potential are Brandon and AR. I like Buike but I do not see him improving much more than he has. CJ is defensively flawed, Kurz does not have the athletic ability, Morrow is a bit too one-dimensional, and M. Williams is already a bust. Hendrix may have potential if he ever gets out of the D-League. D. Nelson is a legit backup PG prospect.

Accordingly PLAY WRIGHT AND AR – otherwise this team has a limited ability to improve. (I did not talk about the guys with 4 or more years of experience because you really do not need to groom them).

I am pissed because I see an inferior product on the floor that will not improve through small ball.

I don’t dislike our players. I actually really like our roster. I think it’s a bunch of likeable guys — I even like Maggette — and I think there’s some real promise on this team.

I don’t dislike Nellie, either… I’m fond of the old guy, as he’s entertaining and he’s given us some great memories. But this season, he has given us less than we could get. We are 7-19. Given the absurdly easy schedule we’ve played, we easily could be 12-14, with our talent. We wouldn’t be headed anywhere fast that way either, but we’d all feel a lot better about the squad, and, critically, we’d feel like we were seeing the best they can do.

The frustrating thing about this season isn’t that the team’s bad. It’s that Nellie’s making the team less than it is. Starting four shooting guards isn’t maximizing our potential. Putting Stephen Jackson at the four doesn’t give us the best chance to win. Keeping Brandan Wright on the bench for 41 minutes isn’t productive.

I was very fond of a couple of the teams in the dark years, because you could tell, we saw everything those teams had. And it wasn’t much — they were bad teams. But the records they got indicating the best they could do. There’s something satisfying about that — even when you’re outgunned, you do your best.

This is not the best this team can do, or anywhere near it. I’m not saying we’re a good team… I’m not even saying we’re necessarily a decent team. But we are not this bad. The fact that we’re doing so badly is intensely frustrating, and it’s not the players’ fault. I don’t know if it’s stubbornness or laziness or a simple inability to adapt, but Nellie is coaching horribly. He is coaching in a way that, incredibly, maximizes our crappiness and seems to be hurting morale amongst the younger players. I mean, that’s hard to do.

I love the Warriors. I’ve watched just about every game, and I’ll continue to, no matter how bad it gets. But the idea that this was the way things had to go this season is, simply, wrong. There’s a difference between a transition year and this. The difference is some unacceptably bad coaching, and it’s not fun to watch.

i’m sure many of us set our sights high, WAY TOO HIGH most likely, but the fact is, we suck and we can’t win. we’re 13th currently in the west. i don’t care how high i set my sights, i did not think this was going to happen this season. we all whine cuz we expected a little more. we whine cuz we care about the dubs and we want to see them succeed. i’m sure there are a lot of frustrated fans out there and they’re aloud to whine, cuz that’s what fans do when their team is bad.

The truth is we SUCK big time right now. We can slice it and dice however we want.

The Team has no direction and Nellie as much I love the guy is really lost , trying this and that and I know different schemes have to be tried when a team is this bad.
Again I love nellie but good players have left to do good

barnes not a super star but had that energy off the bench
They are gone and so be it but —We sure look like we are going down the road of teh 90s

Read JustSomeName’s post in this thread. It is very relevant.

I agree with you to an extent. I am getting a little tired of all the complaining as well, but there is validity to some of it. Anyone who thought we were a playoff team pre season was just kidding themselves, we have the youngest team in the league and signed a coach who is notoriously bad with young players to an extension…not a good start. I think you stated the obvious by saying this is a team that is rebuilding and they need to develop young talent, but that is not happening. Wright and Randolph, who are supposed to be the young future of this organization, rarely see the court, Kurtz has barely seen the court since his 20 pt game. How does that develop anything? And to say you are pleased or at all satisfied with how the Warriors are playing is a joke. They play no defense, none, not at all and you cannot win games not playing any D…you just can’t and the warriors are proving that. Their offense is solid, but very stagnant at times, I wondered how Nellie was unable to wing a ring with all the yrs he has been in the league and the talent he has had, and now I know. He has tried to re-invent the wheel and it is wasting our time. I have learned this year that you need a good post game, a good pt guard who can manage the game, and solid role players to win…not how Nellie works, and the longer he is at the helm the =more setbacks we will see. I appreciate you trying to pull positives from all this, and I was right there through all the rough years, and I see us falling into another era like that, and this time I am going to be realistic

You don’t like it when people complain about the behavior of the team? Then why are you COMPLAINING about other people’s behavior? FOUL: Contradiction, 2 free throws

And I’ll sink both of them:

1. Coaching: Nelly has been brutal this year, the way he has treated Randolph…..Man, I am still outraged by him telling Randolph to tell his agent to seek a trade. There are so many things wrong with that I don’t know where to start. You don’t tell a 19-year old “It’s not working out” Especially one so talented. You work with them. You teach them. You encourage them. If they are doing somethign wrong, show and tell them how they can improve. Don’t give them the idea they are a lost cause and they should pretty much give up on an ideas of having any success with the Warriors. What does that accomplish? One of the biggest brainfarts I have ever seen out of a coach. If you really want them to trade Randolph, (error in judgement as far as I am concerned), tell Mullins about it. If Mullins doesn’t think so you pretty much have to work with the players you have because that is your job, COACH, you know, to COACH the players you have. That’s just the tip of the iceberg, saying he isn’t having any fun this year, waving the whiteflag so early like he has, having probably the worst COACHED team in the NBA right now, terrible fundamentals on defense and virtually no offensive scheme except let someone go 1 on 1. That’s on the coach, those are his responsibilities to implement those things. I would say Nelly this year if he is not the worst coach in the NBA, he’s been one of the worst.

I will say that I like him standing up to SJax and giving defensive coaching duties over to Keith Smart. He really did need to do some damage control after that Randolph blunder, is anyone as upset about that as I am?

Swish.

2. SJax and Magette. Wow. Can you find any other players more severly underperforming their contracts? Magette is…..well…..to borrow from an NFL coach “He is what we thought he was”. Unfortunately we can’t really let him off the hook. We are on the hook for 5 years. Ouch. You can’t make those types of blunders front office. I’m not saying Magette is terrible, but he is completely wrong for our system. A 1 on 1 drive to the hoop and get some foul shots. That’s his game and it doesn’t mesh at all with the run and gun. Yes he looks good on the stat sheet, but it doesn’t really help the team game. Plus he is not great on defense and we already have a logjam at that position without him. Panic signing, unfortunately we can’t get rid of him so easily. I just hope the front office can pull something out of their hats and trade him for ANYBODY with an expiring contract. That would really make my day. Speaking of trading someone, the Warriors should also try to do that with SJax. He is playing so bad right now, I know he has been playing hurt, and he was much better in prior years. Maybe after he gets healthy some team would trade for him thinking he will be better when fully healthy which probably will be somewhat true. But he is an aging player on a team in rebulding mode. Therefore we should trade him, we have Wright and Randolph, I would much rather see the team develop those two guys them watch SJax continue a brutal season.

Swish number two.

If you can’t address people’s complaints about the team, then maybe you should consider that their complaints are valid. People have legitimate complaints all the time, that’s life and sometimes things don’t get done until people voice their dissaproval.
