“All my NBA friends were talking about trying to come over,” Davis recalled. “Everybody wanted to come. It was the new look, kind of like Phoenix, except we were younger. We were up-and-coming. We were potent. Then … I don’t know … it just came apart.”

soo painful to read this article.

It’s been obvious for weeks that ALL of this is true, and that an unstable Nelson (enabled by incompetent management) is taking the team down a rat hole with him. Whatever basketball “genius” Nelson may have once possessed, is now completely submerged by his own excesses. (Alcoholism? Personal demons? It doesn’t really matter “why.”) What matters is that he has lost the team, and there will be no turn around until he is gone. It’s a sad, but true (and probably inevitable, given his history) story the Warrior’s management should’ve been able to see coming from their last encounter with the guy. (In case you’ve forgotten, we’ve been here before with Nellie, and he finally got fired.)

The last remnants of the “we believe” crew are still hoping that their eyes are somehow deceiving them. They aren’t. This team, and Nelson, are exactly what they appear to be. Hopeless Chaos.

But I don’t think it is Nelson pushing Mullin out and doesn’t deserve any of the blame.

Barnes wasn’t resigned because he had a bad year. His play at the Suns in also inconsistent, but better than last year.

I still doubt having last years team we would make the playoffs. Doesn’t excuse the bad decisions management made (too much money for Maggs, etc)

I think Rowell is the bad guy here. He seems to know very little about basketball, and he is the money guy who can’t seem to manage Cohan’s money very well. How can you let one of the best player’s in the league and the guy who made your team relevant again go, then throw around even more money on guys with even more question marks and who would help your team less. It makes no sense. Cohan, be a man and fire Rowell now before he does any further damage and alienates all the fans who stuck with you during the playoff drought. You are nothing without the fans, and if you replace Rowell now, i guarantee every Warrior fan will praise you for it.

Got some personal stuff from Baron who’s having a terrible season as a player and the team. I live in LA and you should see how crappy he’s playing. remember those games he occasionally would shoot us out of??? Almost every night here in Clipperland.

Unsourced league execs??? Cheap.

The end was the worst- Poole just drops the bomb of “Nelson has lost the locker room”. Don’t know about you guys, but save for the Suns game, the Warriors have been in almost ALL of their losses this year. This time has not quit on Nelson.

That doesn’t mean there’s all roses.

Front office turmoil. Check. Disgruntled players. Check. But with the players it’s all understandable. Not enough minutes to go around a certain positions. Injuries. Petulant rookies.

Tell me – do you think Randolph would be playing with the control he is now had Nelson not put him in the doghouse early on?!?!?

Nellie will put a winner on the court next season. Bet on it.
