After being hailed as the Clips' hometown savior, Baron Davis had an absolutely dismal performance last season. Equally dismal (probably more so) was the post- Boom Dizzle Golden State Warriors campaign. The mythically great future guaranteed with up-and-comers Brandan Wright ("his per 36 numbers mean he's going to blowup in 2k8-2k9!"), Andris Biedrins ("top 5, top 10, top something center!"), and Monta Ellis ("leader and superstar in the making!") reminded me of that old Public Enemy track- "Don't Believe the Hype". All the "promise" of the vets on this team Corey Maggette ("he keeps himself in far better shape than the injury-prone Boom Dizzle and will be a better influence on Monta!") and Stephen Jackson ("the Warriors started 1-6 in 2k7-2k8 while he was suspended- imagine if he was playing!") also reminded me of another classic P.E. joint- "Can't Truss It."
But let's focus on today's topic and that's about perceptions about injuries, games missed, and what really happened during the 2008-2009 Golden State Warriors and LA Clippers seasons. (Okay you probably know- a whole lotta suck!)

Player A is Andris Biedrins
62 games played --> 20 games missed
This shot is probably outside of his range.
25 games played --> 57 games missed
51 games played --> 31 games missed
65 games played --> 17 games missed
Good times man.
59 games played --> 23 games missed
What kind of fool breaks this up to build around Troy Murphy without a Jumpshot and Moped Ellis?
39 games played --> 43 games missed
62 games played --> 20 games missed
31 games played --> 51 games missed
36 games played --> 46 games missed
I nominate Ricky Davis as the perfect fit for the Golden State Warriors aka Clippers North. That nearly notched triple-double back in Cleveland was undoubtedly "Unstoppable Baby!"- esque.
50 games played --> 32 games missed
