that’s actually pretty convincing…

this is totally not a jae post

this just makes me more pissed about the jackson, maggette, crawford contracts… then you have monta’s who i probably wouldn’t be pissed about if he wasn’t a moped rider, and then on top of that we have another high priced player in beidrins and we still suck.

funny post and temptingly true

Baron sabotaged our team by opting out.

I think it’s more like he’s a bit disillusioned. Nelson has never really put his faith in rookies, ever. He genuinely believes that playing his veterans gives him the best chance to win. And that’s always been his M.O., to win games. Even if it burns out his players come playoff time, even if it deters the long-term development of the younger players. That’s what has made him one of the most winningest coaches in NBA history, but not one of the best nor successful (in terms of playoffs and championships).

He’s finally gotten his dream come true this year, too. He has assembled a roster full of skilled guards that can run and gun and that can put up big scoring numbers and score 1-on-1. Furthermore, he has the type of big men which he’s been looking for, lengthy agile ball-handlers with guard skillsets. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been working. Defense really does win championships after all.

i don’t even know who to blame anymore. Nellie, Rowell, Cohan, Mully, Thunder, Players? I have finally come full circle: anger, denial, frustration/disappointment, and now ACCEPTANCE. I accept another 13 years of NBA-bottom-feeding mediocrity. That’s who the warriors are and will always be. 2006-2007 was an aberration, a fluke, an anomaly and now we have reverted back to the truth. The warriors suck, but if you are a warrior fan than that is your destiny: Love and support for the worst managed, poorly coached, and short-sighted team in the league. But one thing we all do have to look forward to is 2019-2020, when ‘We Believe’ returns and lightning strikes again!

if our reality were any less painful.

I’ve been kind of hoping he’s helping Maggette het his numbers up so we can unload him ASAP. I’m OK with the rest of the team.

and the truth is that we need to steal a star player right now. Monte is a huge question mark and the real problem is that we need a PF that can really defend and score on the interior. I like Turiaf but is not a PF and Wright/Randolph do not have the physical abilities to play PF consistently. I wish Hendrix would have worked out because he is the only perform that would seem to fit the PF position.

But maybe out of my own love for the warriors I’ve become willfully ignorant. The biggest proof of your Nellie theory last night was the starting lineup. For us to have a chance we would have to stay close from the get go. However, we started CJ at the point and Maggs at the pf. I know Jamal doesn’t have the defense to hang with Parker, but CJ might be the worst defender on the squad. We should have started Ronny or my favorite, BWright. The Spurs first 10 baskets, not points, baskets, came from inside the paint or within a few feet. That includes a few second chance points. Not only do you leave Andris out to dry, you have no interior defense or rebounding.

Which brings me to my next problem
When we play small ball we have Andris or Turiaf being the anchor of our D. This means that they are standing out at the top of the key or the free throw line. Which means there is no one taller than 6’6" standing under the hoop to play interior D and rebound. That is a Horrible Defensive scheme. Especially against San Antonio, a team that has great inside out play and they have killer pick and rolls. Plus they are a great rebounding team.

There was no real logic in starting CJ, we lost the game in the first 4 minutes. We gave up 120+ points to the goddamn Spurs. We are giving up 28.5 more points on average than the opposing teams average since we aquired Crawford. No defense means nothing. I got that stat from T.K’s talking points where he also pointed out that we are almost giving up 112 points per game and that the only team to do that in league history was the ’92-93 mavs, they only won 11 games, give us the 5 wins we had before we go Jamal, 16 wins?

Go Dubs, Avenge Thunder!!!!!

Umm… that was the whole point of the post… the post title had the words “conspiracy theory” in it… and the beginning of the post also states the poster wasn’t serious. I’m not exactly proud to do this cause it kinda ruins briliance when jest is spelled out. Most likely you’re just playing along and I’m just slow to figure it out. You see, the poster has more than effectively established that he views the world (more importantly the dubs) from a strictly logical-rational perspective, but after all the antics that have insued lately (that seem to defy any attempt toward success), his faith in rationality has crumbled to the point where he is jokingly grasping toward conspiracy theories in an attempt at finding some semblance of an understanding as to what has and is going down. Now… a lot of truth is said in jest, and i’m not going to claim miss cleo powers, and my login name reflects my bias, but from reading between the lines, I get the feeling that the poster (like myself) believes Nelson could be doing a much better job, though from the post, it’s less clear as to why. Now, obviously it’s not some conspiracy, and I’d ask the poster why this is, but it seems like the poster isn’t much for speculation and anecdote, but that’s what I’m all about! To me, it’s clear that he’s being a passive-agressive little baby right now. To me, it’s clear that he’s frustrated at fact that in order to win, he gunna have to:
1. work on and coach defensive and rebounding fundamentals every single day of practice (which I think he doesn’t enjoy nor does he feel he deserves at this point in his career)
2. Play more than one big at a time (which I think he doesn’t enjoy nor does he feel he deserves at this point in his career)

And, after putting his heart and soul into parts 1 & 2, still not be good enough to advance very far even if we do make the playoffs in the next couple years.
