Find me a better big man at a better price.

isn’t overpaid.

Ellis wasn’t overpaid until his moped incident.

is everyone dissing Nelson now, when everyone loved him last year? All I see from these posts are people with mood swings who need to have some patience with a young warriors team.

that’s the reason why the DUBS are doomed.. he keeps on forgetting his players’ names… he just call them by their numbers… hehehehe

last year we had a good enough team to make the playoffs, this year we suck, we knew it and we were supposed to use it to develop the rooks and sophs….Don Nelson isn’t doing what the plan was !

why JACK have lots of playing time.. coz his number is 1….. and its nelly’s favorite number.. 1 … he wants to be the number 1 coach

because after Nelly’s contract, WARRIORS will self-destruct and move to HAWAII.. and they will be called HONOLULU SURFERS.. or MAUI POKERS… NELLY will be the owner of the team and DONNIE will be his GM…. hmmmmm and JACK will be the headcoach…. B DIDDY will be back and be the captain… MONTA will be acquired by the FAKERS and win some championships.. ANDRIS will be traded for Shaq and goes on to the West Finals against the Fakers with Monta.. hmm reunion of Andris, Barnes & JRich.. small ball.. oops i mean small world… heheheh

How is that even possible?

This team sucks right now, so how would it help Nellie end his coaching career with a bang? Sure, it’s obvious he wanted to stay longer so he can break the all time win record, but that doesn’t mean that he has to “ruin” the team to do so. He already knows this team isn’t playoff bound, it’s not like he screwed up our roster just to win.

If anything, Nellie would be wanting to win a championship at this point of his career and at the age he’s at. And the Warriors pretty much are rebuilding, they were just dumb enough to spend hella money on two vets and ended up with a weird roster. We’re the youngest team in the NBA, yet we’re not even playing the youngsters that much.

The Warriors invested most of their money to put emphasis on Monta and Biedrins, to lock them up for the future. That’s somewhat of a rebuilding process right there. Then they sign Jackson, Maggette and Turiaf in an attempt to rebuild the team into a playoff team again (which is ironic, since the Warriors were already a playoff team in 2007).

If Nellie really wanted to end his career with a lot of wins, he would have built onto that 2007 team and probably would have traded Monta and some other Warriors for some impact players, so Nellie can go into “WIN NOW” mode and go all or nothing. Instead, the team signed Monta and Biedrins to multi year contracts that will last past Nellie’s retirement. I don’t really see your theory as something possible, since at this point of Nellie’s career he wouldn’t be wanting to waste his time developing young players; instead, he would have made moves to make that 2007 playoff team even better.

But anyways, rushed post. Probably a lot of errors and I probably contradicted myself a couple times. I don’t have time to proof read this so if the post looks retarded then oh well.

okay umm.. idk where to start. this is kind of stupid. You’re saying that we suck because Nelson is trying to get some more wins under his belt. I don’t follow… You are mad because our coach has multiple reasons to try to win basketball games.

How is this the “scary truth”. Regardless of the signings made by the team, it shouldn’t all be reflected on the coach. He has to work with what we have, and most of the team that is playing minutes is expected to be part of the near future of this team. The rookies that are and aren’t playing are part of the rebuilding season, play the ones who will make an impact as soon as next year, and don’t play the ones who we feel will probably won’t.

this post contradicts itself everywhere. nelson could go anywhere in the nba and get 42 more wins. he could quit now and come back in 2 years and get 42 more. why would he sabotage the warriors lol. why would he stick around here and get 20 wins a season, that’s awful! what a joke.

and HE—not some front office puke making less than half of what nellie makes—is calling all the shots regarding players. otherwise, nellie would just tell the organization to shove it if he doesn’t get the players he wants.

for all of you who think i am a ‘new’ ranter against nellie—i never thought much of him going back to the days of run tmc, then outright loathed him after the c-webb incident. i just found this site one week ago or i would have been posting like hell from day one.

also, check out the rantings of the most knowlegeable sports personality in the bay area, who is sam spear (yes, the horse racing guy), who knows more about sports than ANY MEDIA member within 500 miles. he absolutely detests nellie, and even called him a ‘disgusting blackmailer’ on the KNBR 5-9 am sportstalk show back in november of 2007 (he left the two hosts speechless—they thought he was going to talk about bay meadows!).

so i shall continue to drill him like a gay pornstar, forever exposing the idiocy that is nellie-ball—and i do not mean smallball, i mean any ball he coaches.

People whine that he isn’t playing rooks last year, now that he is playing rooks this year and we are losing they are calling for his head… rediculous.

How can you (orig poster) say we SHOULD be rebuilding. WE HAVE THE YOUNGEST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE !

If that isn’t the very definition of rebuilding, I don’t know what is.

I think it’s clear that with Nellies 2 year extension he’s got a 3 yr plan. See which young kids are keepers, keep just enough vets to help teach them (Ronny, Jax, Crawford) and keep in line. Stockpile talent (with Monta back we’ll overloaded at the 2 – he’s a 2, face it). Blockbuster trades this offseason.

Gel next season – go for 7/8 spot.
Championship run following year, his swan song as a coach.

Rookies are not developed on the NBA court. They are developed in practice, practicing after practice, practicing in the offseason, then when they are READY they are placed on a team to PLAY.

Belinelli didn’t get a chance last year because he wasn’t ready. Wright gets more time this year, but he still has a ways to go. Randolph is NOT ready.

I can just imagine some assistant coach yelling in practice “Anthony you shuffled your pivot AGAIN”… it probably drives the coaching staff nuts.

It sounds like most people don’t care about wins OR development. They just want to see highlight blocks and dunks.

FCK U DON NELSON!
FCK U UP UR STUPID A$$ YOU SENILE SH*T F^CKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

p.s. F*cK HIM!

No.

The winningest coach in NBA history? Maybe.

He’d need to win a couple of championships before he could even be talked about as the greatest coach in NBA history. I don’t care if he doubles Wilkins win total, he still won’t be considered one of the greatest until he gets a championship or two.

and furthermore, once again for the 2349082903849302nd time….. The Warriors are without their main mega star Monta Ellis. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT? .500? Especially with all the injuries, all the rookies playing more? Are you kidding me? REALLY?

Just be glad were giving EVERY team EVERY night EVERYTHING we got. Take a look around the league and look at the coaches who were fired, their teams werent competing. Don Nelson and his “42 wins he wants” (allegedly) can keep a team motivated.

Man he must suck or you don’t know anything about basketball, and should go back to the drawing board of being a fan, and learn how to be one, and STOP COMPLAINING.

and the idiocy that is nellie-ball will forever haunt the franchise. had HE been released in ’94 instead of webber, the last 14 years of the franchise would have been different.

and i like hookers with warm hands and smooth throats.

I agree with a lot of your post about the bad moves of the front office. Except about Ellis and Biedrins, those guys actually are part of the solution.

I don’t know what Nelson’s motivation is for what he does. But I really don’t care. He’s not coaching with any degree of quality, he needs to be terminated. Arnold, can you help us?
