Welcome back Nellie. Oh and thanks for losing this game for us.

That the words that I have,actually, for Monta Ellis, if i were to say them, I would definately get kicked out of this website and possibly face some legal charges…..I mean the guy (ME8) lost us the game hands down…along with Nellie…and ef_werd i agree with you on every point u make…..esp. the one about hunter and vlad rad……….and i also dont get why monta kept driving in and kept getting blocked over and over again….just idotic…..in my opinion…the worst game Monta ellis has had this entire season so far……saying that i am extremely dissapointed is such an understatement

what about Monta’s two crucial unforced turnovers in the final two minutes?

the refs had about a million shitty calls both ways. especially those two charges on monta at the end of the first half.

so that Adelman wouldn’t be tempted to put in Scola (Nelli postgame quote kinda). But yeah I’d definitely had put Vlad in there sooner, especially looking at the horrid game Maggete had. It looked like Corey had some in-game battle with Landry and that’s what messed us up…him calling for the ball over and over just so he could own Landry…which he didn’t.

Maggete needs to go fall in a Ditch.

this game was already won but we have Maggette playing the 5 in the final minute of the fourth quarter.
…Seriously?! Come on, man!

Maggette makes they dumbest decision at the wrong time. Well, he actually makes dumb decisions all game which is why Coach Nelson should not be playing him in the finally minutes of the 4th quarter when we need to control the game and stay on top.

Neliie should have noticed that Maggette was freakin’ it up for us in the last 6-7 minutes of the game at the 5 and he should have put in Radmanovic (who was hot and getting rebound).

i honestly think Coach Smart would have came out with the win if he were in charge of the final minutes.

Here’s the thing though, and correct me if im wrong, but the ball movement, not just tonight, but most games, always tends to come to a complete halt when Corey touches it. Ball movement is key to a Warriors win, and when its flowing, like it was tonight in the third, good things happen.

Ball movement is good, and has been best in the games the Warriors have played the best. I’m not denying that. I think with Maggette, though, you’re a lot more apt to notice his effect on the ball movement when we lose and ignore the fact that it didn’t matter when we win. So basically I think the causation is the other way around – while you’re saying Maggette kills ball movement causing our offense to be ineffective and causing us to lose, I say losing causes you to notice the effect Maggette has ball movement. I really don’t think it’s a big deal because Maggette is very effectively offensively, though I do prefer Maggette in more of a sixth man role playing with the second team instead of the first.

I was at the game. The W’s were playing inspired ball for much of the 2nd half, and they finally were getting a few rebounds inside (thanks to Hunter and Vlad), and of course, in the 4th quarter, Nellie comes up with his harebrained scheme and trots out a lineup of Curry/Ellis/Watson/Morrow/Maggette for nearly 6 minutes of game time. Can someone tell me who the SF is in this lineup? Who is the PF? Maggette is the center? Seriously? And the only substitution the rest of the game was Vlad for Maggette after Corey had screwed up about 3 possessions in a row, and RadMan had enough time on the bench to go cold. I can’t recall the W’s getting one important rebound in the last 8 minutes of the game. Just horrific coaching.

I am sensing he may leave soon…

if we can trade him for cap space then by all means do it. but assuming we can’t I don’t think he’s the problem. We saw against Indiana what he can do. He was fundamental in us winning.

Playing him @ center is the problem. He is a very efficient scorer, but how do u expect him to be against a guy that much bigger than him? Is it a surprise he got blocked? Further more it’s not just him at center but fact we had 3 migits and morrow, i mean what were you expecting?

First, this is one of many games Nelson lost for us with his absurdly stubborn ideas and preferences, all counter productive to winning. But I can’t blame Monta at all. He had no energy left, no legs to do what he does, simply because the senile old fool wouldn’t give him needed rest so he could be fresh when we needed him. Only one person lost us this and many other games: the fat man who should be put out to pasture.

40+ minutes in 7 of the last 9 games and we are 3-6 in those 9. He was ill and missed shootaround going into the houston game and nellie gets him 1 rest the whole game for 54 seconds of game clock. I certainly knew not to expect him to have much in that 4th quarter. He struggled the first 3 it wasn’t gonna change in the 4th. I can’t blame this loss on anyone but NELLIE because of his idiotic small ball! We dominated the 3rd with Hunter and Radman and they play a combined 2 minutes in the 4th. WTF? Nellie is ruining my fun with this team, they said he may not go on this upcoming road trip. I will be praying he doesn’t, please bow your heads and join if you feel the same.

we need to find someone willing to take Maggs. Like I said though 3-6 in our last 9. Not resting Monta doesn’t seem to be making us win any more so why not try to get him some sort of break in the 3rd so he can have a little more left in the tank for the 4th.
