"Nelson told Jackson that he had recently been the worst Warriors player on the floor, which is not what SJax expected or wanted to hear." Good for Nellie. It had to be said.

I wonder how the Nellie haters are going to twist this and use it to disrespect the legend. Also, aren't you glad Robert Rowell inked Jack to the ridiculous extension? Jack's a leader and a very good player, but he shouldn't be treated like a superstar in contract negotiations. He's a 4th or 5th option on a good playoff team (see Golden State Warriors We Believe edition and San Antonio Spurs 2003 NBA Champs).

You've presumed...

…me to be quite predictable!

I’m in full support of Nelson on this decision. Doesn’t much change my opinions about any number of much more pressing issues facing the team, but I think reminding Jackson he isn’t god is a good thing.

2nd that

Why give Nellie props for taking 3 weeks to put Jax out of his/our misery. Now how about some Defense and playing Randolph? Whats the worst that could happen? Lose? Hmm…

Assuming everything happened exactly the way Tim heard it, Nellie did the right thing by showing tough love to his #1 guy. Jackson is in the wrong for not accepting responsibility for his poor performance, but instead storming off. Now it’s been several days since this happened, so who knows if they’ve patched things up or not. It’s possible that Jack’s the kind of guy that will accept criticism after cooling off.

Nelson can talk all he wants, but until poor play leads to less playing time for Jackson, it means as much as anything else Nelson says, which is nothing.

If he benches Jackson, that would be much more applause worthy.

aw

i posted this in the fanshots a lil earlier haha, its all good.

When Maggette missed those consecutive shots in a span of a humming bird’s flap,
Crawford simply looked at the bench and said, "Are you serious?"

Ahh so the whole flu

excuse on monday was all a lie and the attempted cover up.

We have ourselves a ticking time bomb with the team. We should start a pool on when it goes boom.

Looks

like someone is gonna have back spasms soon.

So I don't have a signature well these words would do! Who knew that upgrades can have downgrades too!

i won't disrespect nellie for confronting jackson...

but it’s hardly evidence that he’s a great coach. that’s his job – he’s SUPPOSED to confront those guys. and if he really wanted to make a statement, he wouldn’t play jax so many minutes, especially when he’s hurt. and he’d yank him for taking some of those ridiculous shots, especially when he’s like 2-15.

good I only hope the squabble leads Jack out of town.

by sam23 on Dec 20, 2008 12:39 AM PST reply actions   0 recs

get rid of both of them!

Also yeah, Jack was the worst player on the court……..then why didn’t you take him out and played him for 3 games?

I will always be your fan JRich. Good Luck
