Yeah definitely.
Some odd fellows in the thread were telling me he broke his ankle/high ankle sprain.

Therapy section. This day definitely needs one of those.
Isn’t this feeling the norm by now? Barring two of the last 20 or whatever years, randomly exclaiming “These Warriors sure do suck” wouldn’t be met with a lot of disagreement.
"I thought it was going in," Warriors center Chris Hunter said. "It looked like the invisible man tipped it away at the last second."
It wasn't so bad
I didn’t watch the 1st half, but it looks like we were right with them. In the second half, we had Vlad Rad play a bunch and he made a few bad plays to start the second half and his suckiness sort of spread to other guys. If Vlad makes some of those plays that he should have made, then this game most likely would have been quite a bit closer.
I don't think it was just Radman
It looked like overall, the team just wasn’t sharp at all.

Why is Vladimir Radmanovic starting at wing on a healthy Warriors team? I don't get it whatsoever. Why isn't Adrien playing more, why are some guys playing so much? Smart what are you even doing?

It's called preseason experimenting to see what rotations may work
by duballers23 on Oct 21, 2010 10:46 PM PDT up reply actions
So play Adrien 4 minutes?
And Vlad 25??? There’s nothing about that to make rotations work, this is just hackjob coaching by Smart. He is a terrible rotation maker based off what we saw in his 5 game run last year, and so far this preseason. This is just horrible, and I thought Nellie sucked at rotations….

Our bench is very weak
Only Reggie Williams could play a decent amount of minutes in a good team. Starting Radman let Wright help in the second unit, the starting five is strong enough and have more 3 pt shooting
No, we should just start our best players, and not have a bad player starting.

In preseason?
There’s no better time to experiment and tinker with the lineup and see who works well with whom than in the preseason.

Patience, because all will be explained.
I’ve detected a method to his madness. And if that is just me being a little crazy, that’s ok too. Because Joe Lacob is a basketball guy who has been in a good organization, is a fan, and is wiling to listen to numbers guys.
And given the way the numbers look, if the Warriors don’t win, Smart will have some ’splainin to do.
Baseball is a chamber orchestra. Football is a marching band. Basketball is a modern quintet. jazz, rock, hiphop, pop/ all about the beat./ still my revolution not/ til you dance through it.
Because Joe Lacob is wiling to listen to numbers guys
but bean counters only try to fill the seats, not win games. Maybe he should listen to basketball guys instead? Maybe we’d have a competent, experienced backup point now if he’d listened to someone other than the marketing dept? Or maybe Goober is pulling the strings instead of Lacob? This doesn’t seem like a situation a “basketball” guy would get himself into?

Lin dished out 4 assist in short time and only turned it over once. This is not good enough?
no, not for a competitive team, no winning team uses an undrafted rookie as their primary backup point. Those practice game numbers mean nothing if you look at his play, he’s not a point skilled player, he’s more a drive and hope for the best player.
Lights please, lights please, turn off the lights.
by Skeptic con Urquell on Oct 22, 2010 2:58 PM PDT up reply actions
no turnovers
No, Lin just isn’t good enough, he just hopes. That’s why he’s in the top half of rookie guards in every category except minutes per game, and is the most efficient rookie guard who has played more than 6 minutes.
Just lucky, I guess.

this made me chuckle
It’s preseason Gov. The games don’t count. Only way it should concern you is if it shows they are thinking about cutting Adrien.
I predict JT will never breathe through his nose.

Recall Smart’s fondness for Mikki Moore last year. I’m almost certainly paraphrasing quite a bit, but Smart said something about feeling comfortable with Moore.
Vets who have been in the league do things that please some coaches even if whatever that is that the coach sees isn’t terribly important towards winning games. Perhaps it’s that they just take less instruction to avoid those things that a particular coach hates. It’s “easier” to play the vets, even if they aren’t particularly effective. Vlad has seen much PT in his career. More often than not, coaches have seen fit to play him. I’m not sure why that is, but I suspect that Smart falls for the same thing. It was my feeling that he’d do things like this that made me not want him as the replacement. I hoped that with Nellie gone, he might not engage in that sort of stuff, but so far, I have seen nothing to make me think that Smart will be better than a placeholder coach, and perhaps much, much worse.
Totally agree here. The perplexing thing, however, is that Vlad does not appear to take rebounding very seriously, which is what Smart has harped on in the media as the number one priority for his big men. He is very often out of position on defense and careless with the ball on offense. He has an extremely itchy trigger finger when it comes to shooting the trey, while not being able to make very many. When all is said and done, he plays way more like a rookie than a guy like Jeff Adrien, who heard the directive to “rebound,” and has pursued it with a single-minded determination and focus.
Sittin in my scraper watchin Oakland goin wild, ta-dow!
Moore was a pathetic rebounder as well. Simply pathetic. Vlad is rebounding like he has for his career. It’s not going to change. It rarely does for players no matter how much someone harps on him to try harder.
Coaches pay lip service to some things that they don’t actually regard themselves when it comes to awarding PT. Smart says defense and rebounding are important, and he may well believe it, but he makes decisions that would indicate others.
I’m ready to fire Smart now. I don’t understand why he was given the job and why he was given a multi year contract.
So why didn’t we resign CJ Watson for only 3.5 million a year? We have a gaping hole at backup point…gee

yeah not signing CJ was a bit of a head scratcher at the time and it is only being more magnified now

Im scared
I new they should have kept CJ out of everyone..and I kind of thought he sucked compared to Morrow ect…but I thought we might rue the day…

Using the GSOM audience to promote your own page? Now many may think this is acceptable, I personally think it shows very little respect for the GSOM crew. But hey…I am British…

I’m fine with it, because his “own page” is a link to actual game data unavailable online elsewhere. For those of us in what we might call the “Stat-head Community”, Evanz is providing a service here – not only to Warrior fans, but to NBA fans with a statistical bent.

I think it's fine...
The link is totally relevant, and it’s posted in the game links thread which seems like the most appropriate place for it. Plus it’s not like Evanz just started coming here to promote his own blog. He’s been a contributing member of the community for a while now. I don’t see an issue with it at all. But hey… I am American… ;-)
Golden State Warriors '10-'11 Season: The Return of ^^^^
Smart has an enfatuation with Vlad that someone needs to put a stop to. I guess he is looking for a deep threat, because our other guys certainly aren’t hitting, but Vlad is a terrible, terrible player. The he and Gadzuric are taking minutes away from Adrien is really bothering me. I’d rather have a smaller guy that wants to rebound than two tall stiffs that have no desire or ability.
Oh, and the whole backup point guard thing is suddenly kinda important, like I’ve been saying.
Sittin in my scraper watchin Oakland goin wild, ta-dow!
On the plus side, Biedrins had a good looking line (hard to know if he was responsible for Gasol’s points, but the numbers look good). That highlight of him putting the ball on the floor and finishing strong is also very encouraging, given how timid he was last season.
