there is absolutely no silver lining in this situation. Theres alot of viable options, but none of them are better then having a healthy monta ellis at the start of the training camp.

The silver lining is focusing on what can be positive and not crying about Monta…the guy is injured, so we can whine or see what we can get out of this situation, and “any” situation has upside to it

he’s not saying it’s preferable that monta is injured, (though that might end up being the case if we hit it big in next year’s lottery), he’s pointing out the good that can rise out of monta’s injury. way to go nico

nico has it right, but you have to understand. Warriors fans have been through a lot this summer, and we all had similar feelings when Baron moved on of our season being in bad shape. We are just reacting in the “here we go again” fancy, and I cant say I don’t blame them all. However,the facts are its WAAAAY too early to throw in the towel, as many writers and even I are saying “If one team and one coach can pull something off, its these Warriors.” I think the thing that is killing people right now is the idea of the unknown… there are so many things up in the air right now. Only time will tell when the season starts, but I have to say, being a Warriors fan of 10 years, I have seen years where we had MUCH LESS starting a season and still had hope. Keep that one in mind… I will admit though that if we start out the first 10 games going 2-8 or something close to horrific, its time to re-evaluate my friends

We are starting to sound like the Giants… though its tough to compare Barry Bonds to Monta Ellis isn’t it…
Timmy L= Randolph or Ellis Future of the franchise in many people’s minds
B Molina= Al Harrington Cant trade the guy if we tried, but always shows up and puts up solid numbers
Matt Cain= Beindris Solid Contributions, always overlooked when talking about “whos the best” conversations
Belinelli= Fred Lewis Time to put up or move out of the way for someone else. Give him PT and see if he can pull it off
S Jack= There is no comparison…

The Giants put the rookies on the field and are competitive but looked overmatched often. Alright… its a stretch of a comparison at best, but I just hear people saying some of the same things about the two teams. Ironic really

this gives us a HUGE chance to see who’s going to make it in the NBA and who’s not. I really want to know the fate of bellineli, bwright and mwilliams.

OK ???

how is a blessing a sack of crap ? oh, maybe it’s not a blessing !
the point is to see a positive thing amongst bad ones…

injuries like this could possibly slow players down even after they have recovered and can shorten careers. and come on think before you say things… with monta out we will be able to play smaller and faster???? are you kidding me.

Monta is by far the fastest, however as a team the rotation will be smaller and the system will be nearly the same. Beninelli, williams and azubuikie and randolf will get more playing time than let’s say hendrix or croshere and webber last year…. and yes they are faster too…

If all he pessimistic people are already sure this is a bad thing and our season will be horrible, why even bother debating anything let alone support your team ???

By the way the season “starts” in 2 months…

Who ever said monta being injured was a good thing ?
Optimism just helps depict a good thing within a situation and pessimism makes the bad situation worst … You can be critical and optimistic too….

And maybe williams is plugged in as the PG, but I don’t expect him to play as much as Monta did, so this does change the rotation and playing time ratio…

But until the season starts this is all simply speculation…

i think i wanna be a miami heat fan… d-wade back in form and the matrix.. good stuff right there.. plus florida is kinda nice.. too many spanish speaking ppl though.
