Golden State Warriors

By gklyon I too support the owners decision. First off, Ellis is not going to miss any games. He is out at that time. He just doesn't get paid for sitting on his butt when he should be out there helping his team win. Sure he would like to be out there; but, he made a stupid decision in violation of his contract. It...

When an organization suspends its centerpiece, you can bet there will be some fallout. Look no further than Oakland and the aftermath of Monta Ellis' 30-game suspension to prove that point. Golden State Warriors president Robert Rowell ...

By Eric Gilmore But now higher ups in the organization with zero NBA player-personnel knowledge are questioning his judgment and nixing his plans. Week-old tuna, anyone? Want more? OK, how about the whole Monta Ellis moped-gate affair. ...

By Matt Matejcek This may very well be Don Nelson's final year coaching in the National Basketball Association. With a Hall of Fame coaching career under his belt, Nelson still hasn't won a championship, and if that title is going to come this year, then it's going to rest on the performance of the Warriors'...

By emeiserloh If the Warrior brass makes the moves you suggest and ruin the potential of this team (having already gone through it once before), I will permanently sign off as a warrior fan and adopt the Blazers or some other team. Basketball is the only sport I still really follow, probably because it's t...

By Joe Zedalis A 7-foot center leaves a Bay Area team to join the Boston Celtics after being called either lazy or unmotivated. That is what happened in 1980, when the Celtics acquired Robert Parish from the Warriors, and again this year as Patrick O'Bryant joined the Celtics as a free agent.

By Pradamaster I also think they made the right decision to part ways with Baron Davis, even if the manner in which it happened was sketchy. Corey Maggette can also play and they got Ellis and Andris Biedrins re-signed to reasonable deals. ...

By noreply@blogger.com (Nugg Doctor) Boulder-CO) Today's date is October 13th, and on this day: '67- The Seattle SuperSonics dropped a 144-116 decision to the San Francisco Warriors in their first NBA game. 70- Calvin Murphy made his debut for the San Diego Rockets at Chicago. The Bulls won 111-96.

By J.E. Skeets Golden State Warriors president Robert Rowell suspended Monta Ellis for 30 games without pay Saturday for violating his new contract by crashing a mo-ped. His agent, Jeff Fried, hinted they will appeal the suspension that could cost Monta $3 million. Here's what they're saying out in the...

By Ishak Kang I think last night's performance won Nelson a spot because Dickau just doesn't have the upside on defense.  And, if you're looking for a complement to Ellis, you're going to need a backcourt player who can muscle up and contain an opposing point guard.

By legionurmaster “Chris Mullin made it perfectly clear to both Mr. Cohan and myself that he didn’t think this was a big deal at the beginning. And we happen to think it’s a very big deal. We happen to think that it’s a big deal for our fans, it’s a big deal for our season-ticket-holders, it’s a big deal for our busine...

By noreply@blogger.com (Nugg Doctor) 99- NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain passed away at his home in Bel-Air, California at the age of 63. A 13-time NBA All-Star, first-ballot Hall of Famer and holder of numerous records, many of which will never be broken, Chamberlain arrived in the NBA in 1959 out of the University of Kansas (1955...

By cueball1024 I think Monta deserves to be not paid for 30 games, even though I agree it's a lot of money, it is still fair not to pay him for those 30 games(4 games are preseason games too so it's actually 26 regular season games). I like Monta and I support him and hope the best for him because he's really impor...

By Fantasy Junkie A certain tranquility exists when DeMarcus Nelson talks about his evolution as a basketball player. The former Bay Area prep standout, staring at an empty practice court and seated in a chair vacated moments ago by Warriors coach Don Nelson, feels he has come full circle.

By dberri When we look over these rankings we see two other players from Golden State.  Last season Andris Biedrins ranked 5th among all centers.  And Baron Davis ranked 7th among point guards.  When we look back at Table One, we see that the trio of Ellis-Davis-Biedrins produced 37.6 of the team’s 46.8 W...

By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) Well, the saga of Monta Ellis' injury is continuing and possibly coming to a close as the Contra Costa Times is reporting that he has come clean about how the injury happened. According to a team source, the Warriors now know that Ellis' ankle injury was not sustained in a workout but it happened outdoors and not while playing basketball. The report says he was scared to tell the truth at first but eventually did after the questions just wouldn't go away because of the inconsistencies that continued to come up. The team can fine and/or suspend Ellis if he injured his ankle by participating in a prohibited activity such as riding a motorcycle. Should he somehow not be able to play again, the Warriors could terminate the six-year, $66 million cont...   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) The Warriors have been linked to the Indiana Pacers in a deal involving Jamaal Tinsley, Al Harrington, among others. They are also interested in Marquis Daniels who Don Nelson knows and likes from his years in Dallas. The Pacers want to get rid of Tinsley and the Warriors want to get rid of Al Harrington and so it could happen. The Warriors are still investigating the injury to Monta Ellis and it seems pretty certain at this point that it happened other than playing basketball. The big question is, what will they do if they find out that it was a motorcycle accident or some such thing? Discuss this topic on the Celtics Green Forums!]   [read the full post]

By Adam Lauridsen Q: So Monta is definitely your point guard? NELSON: You’ve got to like that guy. Gets to the foul line and he rebounds. NELSON: Probably Harrington. NELSON: No. Q: How does that summer league team look–with Brandan Wright, Anthony Randolph… NELSON: He is a ‘three’.

By Adam Lauridsen All of the above, of course, politely dances around the elephant in the room: Baron Davis.  I have no expectation that he’s going to return to the Warriors.  Even if Baron backed out on his word, given as late as Tuesday night, that he planned to sign with the Clippers, I don’t know if the Warrio...

By Adam Lauridsen So, as we officially close the book on the NBA’s 07-08 season, the Warriors are left with even more questions than when they started the campaign.  The victory of the Celtics, patched together with the strategies above, suggests that the home-grown approach of the former champs the Spurs...

By Adam Lauridsen Watching the Hornets make the Spurs look their age has been one of the more enjoyable scenes so far of 07-08 Playoffs. There are moments with Paul and company streaking up the court when — if I go cross-eyed and color blind — the action looks a lot like the Warriors at their finest moments. With a...

By Atma Brother ONE Against GSW? The only team that runs more then the Suns is the Warriors and I somehow don't see how Shaq is going to cover Al Harrington from jacking up 3's. That said he does have 6 hard fouls to deliver on Baron and Ellis in the lane. You don't want to piss this guy off. If it comes to a playoff matchu...

By Atma Brother ONE Tim Kawakami: It'd be nice for Warriors fans and for Nellie and Chris Mullin, and probably nice for Jackson himself if we could all just write it down in ink: Good steady game, every night, no blow-ups, sustained focus, night after night after night.

By David Friedman Anyone who visits this site regularly knows that I have repeatedly insisted (most recently in this post) that teams should not be afraid to run against the Golden State Warriors and that the Dallas Mavericks could have avoided their upset loss to the Warriors in last year's playoffs if the Mavericks had pushed the ball up the court instead of trying to slow the game down. These truths were once against confirmed in Dallas' 121-99 win over Golden State on Wednesday night. Dirk Nowitzki scored a game-high 29 points on 9-16 shooting, adding eight rebounds, six assists and three blocked shots. Nowitzki had a game-high plus/minus rating of +25. Five other Mavericks also scored in double figures, including Josh Howard, who had 19 points and a gam...   [read the full post]

By Atma Brother ONE The Warriors ended a painful losing streak to Ebok and the Lakers on Friday night on national TV. Baron stole the show with his heroic, uh-I-can't-believe-he's-taking-that-shot-- HELLYEAH!, booming trey and blew kisses to the Roaracle crowd as the Warriors finished off the Fakers.

By Atma Brother ONE Also Coach McMillan and the Sonics deserve a ton of credit for absolutely shutting down the pick and roll between Baron Davis or Stephen Jackson and Andris Biedrins. This is a very well coached team and they knew exactly how to render Biedrins ineffective on offense. You can tell they did the...

By Atma Brother ONE This was the first game this season where I've seen the Warriors play smart, excellent team defense for the majority of the 48 minutes.

By Atma Brother ONE Nelson basically put rookie Marco Belinelli into the starting line-up, replacing the traded Jason Richardson.
