Monta Ellis is key to Golden State Warriors' defensive improvement

(Marcus Thompson II) Nellie was sick for Sunday's practice. The talk with Smart is about the team understand defensive concepts and improving on it. CJ not expected to go on the road for @Mavs and @Spurs.

Personal thought: If our defensive focus is on steals and turnovers, then looking at the opponent shooting percentage is not enough, as steals and turnovers don't hurt their fg%. What's our opponent scoring percentage per possession?

Edit: Found my answer: Hollinger's Team Stats, sorted by Defensive Efficiency (points per 100 possessions). We're tied 27th/28th with the Grizzlies, bleh. Well, we've only played like a real team for the past 4 of our 12 games. It would be worth checking back after another 10 games or so to see if we've improved or not.

A risky trade, would you do it?

A risky trade, would you do it?

Would you trade Maggette for Caron Butler? But wait there's a catch, we give up our 1st round pick. We have looked good lately and I think this could get us back in the playoff picture but at what cost? Gain an all star and lose a bad contract, lose a 1st rounder. Would you do a trade like this? I know Maggs has played well lately but it's an interesting thought.

Just seeing how far we are willing to go.

Robinson....your coach is not amused....

Nate makes a hillarious mistake as the clock runs out and chucks the ball at his own basket and it goes in...only he launches it a fraction beforethe buzzer and is good!! LOL Ooops!

Who watched the fight?

Who watched the fight?

Wow, Andre Ward is a beast. He did in his hometown as well. Great fight Andre and congrats on being the world champ

Random side note, I saw Monta ring side and I have to say that he had one snazzy suit. Morrow and Curry were also there.

Basketball Prospectus '09-'10 Stats Now Available

A walkthrough of BP's metrics can be found here. Not a perfect stat, and some of these guys haven't played enough for their numbers to be indicative of anything (especially Ronny). Nevertheless, I thought it'd be fun fodder for GSOM's stat nerds. The Warriors' individual winning percentages thus far:

.633 - Corey Maggette
.591 - Kelenna Azubuike
.580 - Anthony Randolph
.552 - C.J. Watson
.514 - Andris Biedrins
.453 - Monta Ellis
.413 - Stephen Curry
.406 - Anthony Morrow
.389 - Mikki Moore
.320 - Ronny Turiaf

Who else thinks Rod Benson would be a good pickup? He brings tons of energy and is a tough guy down low. It also doen't hurt to be a D league all star player. I say sign him up!
