Man... Biedrins is listed as "day by day" tonight. I hope he's there, We just printed a big sign of this... oh well, WE GOTTA WIN A PIZZA at least!

C'mon Jax, It's Win-Win

You get out of Golden State and get to play for a contender, and we get rid of your contract... (You just have to give up a couple million dollars.)
Although, Chad Ford basically breaks down why this won't happen:
"Why won't this happen? One, because Jackson knows he robbed the Warriors this summer and there isn't another team in the league foolish enough to give him that much money. And second, because we've never seen a player willing to put their money where their mouth is."

Jackson's agent goes after Nelson

Jackson's agent goes after Nelson

"I'm disgusted with the quality of Nelson's coaching and with the lack of trust his players have in him," he said. "Nelson is the winningest coach in NBA history to never have coached in the NBA Finals, let alone won a championship. Yet he keeps getting jobs despite being 69 years old."

No wonder the team has already given up on this year. WE SUCK!

Hornets wing players disappointing

Hornets wing players disappointing

"Disappointed with the production at his two-guard spot, New Orleans Hornets Coach Byron Scott said Saturday he'd start Devin Brown on Sunday night against the defending world champion Los Angeles Lakers and put Morris Peterson on the inactive list.

"It's a 2-4 start and I'm not really getting anything out of Mo at the starting two guard," Scott said following practice at the Alario Center. "It just might be by committee right now; give Devin a chance then six games from now, maybe give Marcus (Thornton, rookie from LSU) a chance and just go with (the most effective) guy.

"That's the only thing I can do right now. I think we're playing without any productivity from Mo, and Julian (Wright, small forward) is kind of down right now, so it's almost like playing five against three. We've got to bring somebody in there who can bring some energy and hopefully kind of pick it up a little bit."

Peterson had left the gym and was unavailable for comment."

I read this as "we're getting desperate enough to really want Stephen Jackson."

Guys, take those bags off your heads and win tonight!

Saturday practice notes

(Rusty Simmons) Bickering team has 'got to come together'
(Marcus Thompson II) Curry taking his lumps on defense
(Mike Massa) Dysfunctional Warriors desperately need win over Kings

There seems to be a common theme among these articles: Players bickering and finger pointing during Friday's embarrassing loss. The Curry article has some nice Curry insights.

Miami interested in Jack?

Miami interested in Jack?

According to Ric Bucher the Miami Heat are now interested in Jackson ( http://twitter.com/RicBucher/status/5514023855 ). He also says that Jack does not want to go to the Bobcats. I actually think Jack would fit in with Miami better than Cleveland but what could we get in return? I think it would have to be a three way deal in order for this to happen.

Hooray people actually want him!

"Baron is a great player," Jackson said. "What upsets me is that they want to boo him, but they have short memories. They forget that the reason they're still coming here is because of what we did. The organization was in the trash can before we had that year."

My reaction: Guess what SJax.. we're still in the trashcan.

"I'm the Forward... He's the Guard." In any other NBA Team that quote would be true. Not in Nellie's system. Still confused about yesterdays starters, Mikki Moore over Anthony Randolph? There was that miss match that didn't seem to work against Chris Kaman. Oh well, hopefully this Will Smith parody gives people something to smirk at!

Warriors sources say Anthony Randolph to blame for his lack of playing time

(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."

Ranking the Contenders in the West

"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."

Did you know we have new NBA rims this season?

Did you know we have new NBA rims this season?

(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.

Against Clips, big men could play biggest role

(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.

Why bench Randolph?

Why bench Randolph?

Don has lost his mind, he even completely dodged a question about him after the game where he said Gasol would be too tough a matchup, really Don? Let the young fella play it out so he can get better! He always gives his all and produces every time he gets in. Trust me when I say once he gets 25 - 30 minutes a game he will be playing like a star. After such a great offseason where Nellie always praised him this is how he treats him? Do you think they got into an off the court incident?

Lets hope Nellie does not do to Anthony like he did with C -Webb.
