My Notebook

- To reduce turnovers, the coaches allowed others to initiate the offense and passed the ball to Monta on the weak side so Monta can drive against an unset defense.
- Nellie would rest Monta more if the team could do well while Monta sits.
- Nellie's not displeased with Curry, though he makes a couple of terrible decisions once in a while.
- Mikki Moore being out for at least 3 months should allow the Warriors to take a 17th player on the roster.
- The Warriors aren't trying to "get rid" of Randolph.
- The Warriors may be trying to package Randolph with Maggette and his big contract.
- Nellie thought bringing Morrow off the bench would help his shooting slump and might push Morrow off the opponent's "radar".

What's next?

- Three days off, then a 2 game road back-to-backer, Tues @Grizzlies, Wed @Hornets.
- Enjoy the weekend! Take a break from the injuries, the shorthandedness, and the losing streak.

What a Garbage Move!

What kind of message is he sending to Randolph if Nelson is choosing to start Hunter over Randolph. Now does Randolph have to wait for Radmonovic and Hunter to get injured before he is in the starting five?

If Randolph is dead set in his “I am not a center”, then the message isn’t particularly one we need to read much of anything into. The message might then be “I hear you, you’re not a center, so I won’t put you in as one”.

he played 36 minutes

what else do you want?

This is sad Monta, grow up:
If you go back and look at all the turnovers I had it was never just me turning the ball straight over. It was always something with a charge or guys not catching the ball. That’s why coach never said anything about it.

Way to blame everyone but yourself.

(from Steinmetz link)

If Bochy coached the Warriors Bengie Molina would start every game at PG.

Monta haters starting to get louder again

How was your hibernation?

Rookie: "Why did you bench me?"
Nellie: "You're a rookie"

by dubzfan on Dec 19, 2009 12:12 PM PST up reply actions  

Seriously?

The guy says " most of the TO this year weren’t may fault". And you are good with that?

BTW. I am not a Monta hater. It’s easy to try and discredit honest opinions by trying to convince others they are just “haters”

If Bochy coached the Warriors Bengie Molina would start every game at PG.

He's telling the truth

Do you have a problem with the truth? He also said after Jack was traded that others need to step up or else it would get hard? He was right.

Rookie: "Why did you bench me?"
Nellie: "You're a rookie"

Wow

Instead of just writing him off as a hater, you should actually respond to him.

Nelson looks drunk in the postgame interview

He needs to lay off the scotch. I think he’s a drunk.

Monta's TO video

He’s right, it doesn’t help when you get no calls every time you go inside, Moore always dropping passes and bad charge calls.

Rookie: "Why did you bench me?"
Nellie: "You're a rookie"

by dubzfan on Dec 19, 2009 12:15 PM PST reply actions  

At least now we know who one of the 21 people who voted for Monta and his 8 TO was.

If Bochy coached the Warriors Bengie Molina would start every game at PG.

by cybermaldonado on Dec 19, 2009 12:27 PM PST up reply actions  

No I voted for Curry

Seriously how many times can someone drop a pass like Vlad or Moore and we still blame that on Monta and dismiss it as there trying there hardest?

Rookie: "Why did you bench me?"
Nellie: "You're a rookie"

by dubzfan on Dec 20, 2009 7:45 PM PST up reply actions  

I agree

If you actually watch, there are very few TO’s usually that are solely Monta’s fault.

Quick Question

so yesterday i watched the game, and as i was leaving someone was leaving in a White Ferarri coming out of the VIP lot. Who do you think owns that car? And Whats the best way to get a players autograph?

On TOPIC: I was sitting next to a very interesting man, talking to me about how Randolph makes one good play, but then right after, he starts making horrible plays. There really isnt much to say about that game. It started pretty good, there was just too much Gilbert Arenas
