Warriors Web Links: Sacramento Kings leftovers, Warriors hoping Cartier Martin shows up to Sunday practice, Monta Ellis speaks, Antawn Jamison apologizes to Wizards fans

No practice today, but the big news today was that Anthony Randolph did NOT have a fracture in his left ankle. Anyway, make the jump for whatever else interesting things I could dig up today, including a very insightful sounding Monta in an interview with Lowell Cohn.

Leftover stuff from last night's Kings game

Feltbot recap: Monta Ellis, Superstar: Warriors 108 Kings 101

- Bits and pieces from Matt Steinmentz.
Matt Steinmetz: Warriors and Morrow Needed that Shot

Cartier Martin

- It has already been reported that Randolph doesn't have a fracture. The interesting tidbit in this article is that the Warriors are hoping for Cartier Martin to show up at practice on Sunday.
Rusty Simmons: No fracture, but no timeline for a return

My note: To me, that could mean that Martin could play on Monday against the Cavaliers. Remember when Chris Hunter showed up, his first job was to guard Greg Oden? Let's throw Cartier Martin on LeBron James!

Lowell Cohn interviews Monta Ellis

- After Friday's morning shootaround, Lowell Cohn sat down with Monta Ellis and talked about several things. Monta Ellis speaks about his improved play, his relationship with Warriors' management, his son, NBA players and guns

Warriors Web Report - Home Cookin'

- The Warriors look forward to playing 18 of their next 24 games at home with the support of the home crowd.

Antawn Jamison addresses home crowd

- Before Friday's game started, Antawn Jamison addressed the crowd and apologized to the fans. That must not have been very easy to do. You can hear him get a little emotional when he talks. I hope we never have to go through anything like this. The Wizards beat the Magic by 7, outscoring them by 13 in the 4th qtr.

- I think this is the picture Jamison's talking about:

Wow

that was actually a pretty good interview with Monta. One of the best ones I’ve seen or heard, at least.

i don't know how lowell put that all down.

its pretty hard to understand what monta says sometimes but regardless Monta never seemed to be this good of a person deep down in his heart, but i guess having Jackson around can do that to you.

Bellineli, Gallinari, and Radman are my heroes!!!

Interesting Monta interview. That’s a different side. Sounds like marriage has been very good for him. Also, I like the sound of him listening to his grandparents. Very encouraging.

That's my boy Monta, keeping his head up about the season and he's a smart dude

“I want to be the one to teach him how to take his first step, teach him how to take his first jump shot, teach him how he should go about girls, and get his education. "

Can’t Hate him, beast on the court and responsible off it. great interview.

i hope his daddy talk better than him, because it would be hard to know what i’m getting pulled over for if he talks like monta.

lol come on man

Everyone knows he didn’t get a good education and he’s from the duurty south. that’s how every kid talks over there. would you really care about knowing how to speak right if all you cared about was basketball? I know you’re just playing but it’s getting old.

Too bad he doesn’t say these things directly to Monta….He only dares say it behind a computer screen.

His comments are insulting and borderline racist.

come on

don’t be calling people racist, that’s messed up. Nothing he said was even close to racist. Azubuike’s black and he doesn’t talk like Monta. Admit it, southern accents are funny to us Californians. Nothing wrong with that.

What???

How am i being racist, and you don’t think the Clippers announcers comments were racist. All i’m saying is, it might be hard to put down on paper what Monta says because he may say “has done” and Cohn will have to put ‘have done’. Thats all im saying. And if his Dad( i used daddy because thats the word he used in the interview) is a police officer in Houston. I’m wondering if he can be a cop and talk like Monta does. And yes i was just kidding around as bojangles408 pointed out.
