(Marcus Thompson II) "Some in the organization, even in the locker room, say Randolph has been his own worst enemy and that this latest episode isn't Nelson's fault."

"Nelson's commitment to offense makes the team entertaining to watch, but it's difficult to compete on a consistent basis without defense or team chemistry, and the Warriors have neither. Monta Ellis is developing as a passer, and Stephen Curry is enjoying a breakout rookie season, but as a team the Warriors are a mess. They lack the heart and discipline necessary to be a legitimate contender."

(Marc Stein) Some say the new rim helps soften missed shot bounces for higher scores. Others don't see a difference. Article includes pics of the old and new rims.

Anthony Morrow probably won't care. His shots don't touch the rim.

(John Shea) Biedrins might not play on Friday with a strained back. Even if he does, he says he won't be 100%. Nellie isn't confident in Randolph handling starting centers, so he'll put him against backup centers for now.

Also, MT's twitter earlier in the day: "Uh oh. Center Andris Biedrins not practicing thanks to an ailing back. Neither is Ronny Turiaf because of his sprained left knee."

=====
If Biedrins and Turiaf are still out tomorrow, that leaves Mikki Moore as our starting center. Our small ball better be clicking to make up for the lack of rebounding and size.

Curry's doing a diary for GQ where he'll be blogging periodically through the season. He already has had 3 posts so far, so yeah, nice to check up on this every once in a while.
