expect? Nelson plays vets as much as he can despite this season being the obvious opportunity to develop younger players (particularly Wright)

hope for? luck in the lottery

don’t talk about playoffs, you kidding me?
i think its about finding that happy balance. helping the rookies find their groove by giving them minutes as role players while still obviously focusing on the vets. Really, the main focus of the season should be figure out what are rookies are capable of so we can know what trades need to be made for next season.

I think I’m gonna use it as my desktop

hope? that we play the young guys more (which is the recipe for tanking – ala Boston the Oden/Durant year when Pierce was supposedly injured).

expect? we’ll play the vets just enough to get to 25-30 win range instead of the 18-23 win range that the young guys would get us to.

be nice if the Mavs or Suns panic and make another trade for a geezer. then there’s only the Lakers, Hornets, Jazz, Blazers, Spurs, Nuggets, and Rockets who are likely to still make the playoffs next year.

and hopefully neither the Twolves, Memphis, or OKC land a great player.

well finish hot and ride it into next year. just get rid of maggette and develop wright more and have randolph at the 3 so instead of going small we go big

I think sooner than later, the Warriors need to evaluate who they want to keep, Wright or Randolph. I like both, but throwing one of the two in a deal with Watson, who’s stock right now is very high, is what I think could net us a pretty nice PF to give us the size, rebounds, and inside presence we still need to beat big tough teams like the Lakers and Spurs. Based upon what I’ve seen, I’d say keep Randolph and trade Wright. I like Wright, his game is steady and you can count on him to do certain things right now, but there is a fire in Randolph that we all have seen at times that tells you this kid could be something special. Slowly but surely, things seem to be clicking for Randolph and I can envision him coming back next year a much better player after seeing what he is capable of and how much work he still needs to put in.

Arenas: why come back, we suck this year

Monta: I’m coming back and we will make the playoffs

I am voting for a .500 team at the end of the year which will be an incredibly entertaining second half of the season and show the NBA Monta is the man. Thank God we have players with that kind of character on our roster. I dont care if we lose 50 more games, I like the team we have right now and want to watch the games.

he wold have played a month ago if the team would let him. Monta is a real gamer, just not too bright, but that can change as he gets older.

But i doubt we really can make a real run at a playoff spot. Maybe if Baron was back and Monta was at full strength. I just want to see good games and i don’t care too much about the lottery. If we get lucky then we get lucky but right now i’m gonna take it one game at a time and continue to root for the warriors no matter how bad our record is. i’ve always thought we had a lot of talent on our team already. I just want to see if we can continue to play competitively and make a couple of runs. possibly even play spoilers to teams that i can’t stand like the Mavs and the Rockets. I still am not Don Nelson’s biggest fan by a long shot but he’s shown more passion in the past couple of games and I’d like to see him break the record for most wins as a coach but after that i still want him out! No matter what though, I was born a Warrior fan, raised a Warrior fan and i’m gonna die a Warriors fan!
