2nd unit

2. belinelli
3. buike
4. maggette
5. turiaf

limited minutes: randolph, morrow

With the emergence of belinelli, i dont see any room on this current roster to realistically play randolph hard minutes. While i’m not a huge fan of maggette, i think he can be a real assett as a 2nd man coming off the bench. I don’t forsee maggette being traded anytime in the near future, so to make the most out of him we could use him as a spark for our often low producing bench.

Without maggette, i’d have no problem putting randolph at the 4, but after seeing randolph play limited minutes this season, lets face it the kid is RAW. He has some highlight moments, but on the offense end he has absolutely nothing. Williams or Nelson need to be moved from a lineup for a backup 4 or 5, with monta back we will be severely clogged at all guard positions.

When monta first comes back tho, id switch monta and belinelli and go with

1. rambo
2. crawford
3. jackson
4. wright
5. beans

1. watson
2. monta
3. buike
4. maggette
5. turiaf

 with u shooter on that lineup but i would make one change to it. Move jax to the 3 and either start rambo at the 2. As much as i would love to c that happen, dub4life is right on the fact that nellie will never do this and that probably will b the lineup when they are all healthy.

duh

Maggs at the 4 will not work. Nellie has tried it and as far as I can remember, it didnt work well for us. I would rather randolph play the 4 on the 2nd team and at least let him get some experience.

I believe we have everything we need as far as personnel with the exception of a PF. We have youth, talent, and loads of potential. We can be a very good team so long as we have a PF that fits nellie ball (Al Harrington-esque type player). What made al dangerous was that he could shoot and the PFs guarding him had to respect his shot, which pulled them out of the paint. Now Kurz might fit this role but I know nothing about him…just that he can shoot.

Now that I think about it, id rather have kurz at the 4 before maggs.

I’m not at all convinced that he wont. What we’ve seen over the last few weeks with maggette out is an admittance by the warriors front office that maggette isn’t working on this team. On a Razor and Mr. T broadcast, Nellie publicly came out and said that maggette at the 4 wasn’t working well, and that maggs needs to learn how to pass more. Maggette is a seasoned vet, im not at all convinced that he will suddenly change his play style and become a passing forward. It may take a few games with maggs back, but I can most definitely see a transition period of Nellie bringing maggs off the bench, ESPECIALLY when monta comes back.

This new style offense of drive and dish has been showing alot more promise then the ISO Jack and ISO magg on the box offense, and putting them both back in the same lineup will only revert us back to the old offense. Time will tell, but I don’t see this change happening immediately. More likely, when maggette comes back and reminds everyone why he wasn’t working out, we will see the transition begin. But maybe he’ll surprise us all and buy into the philosophy, in which case a win win for all.

and gets consistent minutes – Look at Gino in S.A. or Vinny Johnson (“the Microwave”) – if you are treated as important – you don’t care when you are on the floor. Actually, I think it may be better to play on the W’s second team because they need consistent drivers to the hole and can stablize the offense by drawing fouls and getting in the bonus.

the ONLY legitimate solution is to trade nellie for a power forward—HE will never acquire one as long as he is the coach, and since so many fools think nellie is actually a genius, then it should be easy to do.
he could have gotten david lee or zach randolph instead of another shooter, but of course, went with the obvious non-solution.
to make it worse, harrington has been a near star under dantoni, but nellie couldn’t get him to do anything except mis 3’s. and mike pietrus is doing a lot better with orlando then under nellie—reminds me of sarunis marcelonus, vince askew, and the guy who went to houston and helped them win 2 championships, all those guys were a LOT better when they left the idiocy that is nellie-ball.

that we’re going to be the best 19 win team the world has ever seen.

if we’re lucky. we might get TWENTY wins. wouldn’t that be just fantastic?

and don’t YOU fall into the trap of thinking that the team is a pg short of being a force. what they did with bd is win ONE first round playoff series against the ONLY team they could have beaten, then not even make the playoffs the following year.
nellie LET bd go (yes, nellie, NOT some front office puke making less than half of what nellie makes), because he knows that nellie-ball is a fraud that can only get worse as the rest of the league catches on, so the team would have had at BEST a .500 record this year even with bd, so he let him go so as to have a built-in excuse for the team’s failure.
just watch who they select in the upcoming draft—some one who can defend and rebound?—hell no, someone who will further fit into the idiotic system that is nellie-ball.
