Hope Ronny can recover for the Rockets.
He gets 25 good minutes per night but B2Bs are not his friend.
Ellis and Biedrins should BOTH be sitting but Nellie played them for the more likely win. Heavy minutes for the usual (chuckers) suspects.
What a genius!!!

Peja, Chandler Lead Warriors to Rare Road Win Over Playoff Team
Be forewarned: Biedrins is still hurt. But Ronny was great man-handling the biggest pussy PF in the league, David West. I like West's game OK but hit him and he falls to shit, 9 times out of 10. Ronny hit him. THAT's why we have Ronny. Not to guard Lebron at the 3-point line. Effing douche, Nellie. Fuck you.
Savor the Flavor, MFs.
The shooting line on this one is just priceless.
Jackson is the PG again?
Calling #1, #1, #1, #1, #1. Oy.
Please bestow deepest meaning upon this shitfest.
By all means.
New Orleans may make a panic move now.
We're trading Monta Ellis by the trade deadline. You heard it here first. The love is gone, the honeymoon is over.

Nelson: It's Monta's Fault
Nelson, who missed practice today due to ongoing legal issues with the Dallas Mavericks (yes, still- cash money, 24/7 yo. OG), still had time to call in for his big Ego Fest Radio Show with Ralph and Tom.
He says Monta is to blame for the Cavaliers loss.
He says the team was playing great before Monta came back.
He says the team "has too many guards."
It's all over, folks.
Enjoy!
Meanwhile, Keith Smart is prepping the team for an ESPN Friday night game in New Orleans by running pick-up street ball and letting Jackson and Crawford fuck around while Biedrins is carted off to the medic's room with Ray Ridder in tow.
Brilliant, brilliant team.

3 Dot Lounge: Bruce Jenkins OK By Me
Brucey and I will never agree on certain things, things like batting average > OBP, pure point guard camels like Brevin Knight > versatile all-O speedsters like TJ Ford, etc. But we pretty much both get the Warriors Suck and he knows lots of stuff we all should. Check him out if another, worthier blogger hasn't already turned you on to his new blog:

NELSON MISSING PRACTICES AGAIN
Nellie's in court today. What'll it be next?
The dirty secret for this pathetic team is that even though the league's biggest blogosphere fan community can't live without the intrigue and false hope, the league in general has already forgotten us. So these idiotic "leaders" in uniform and in suits still delude themselves as to the team's actual relevance. They act like big shots worth a damn when they're actually just losers with a big local online following. They NEED the blogosphere mirror for their own vain performances. Losers.

Marcus Thompson is trying to pump Crawford as the best PG in practice now that I've outed the Marcus Williams secret from the beaters' earlier reporting... won't work. Crawford is garbage. MTII is also apparently back in Jackson's jock strap. Great.
I'll use this bit though: Biedrins carted off on a medic's shuttle with PR Director Ray Ridder, who is at the practice in Dallas... why? Shut him down through the trade deadline, no doubt.
That wrist just won't heal!
Warriors PER (NBA Average: 15.00)

YOU Watch More Games Than Don Nelson, Robert Rowell, Chris Cohan, and any Warriors Coaches, COMBINED
If you have League Pass, your NBA consumption habits far exceed the lazy Warriors' executive branch and coaching staff. I don't have LP but I still know what the team itself refuses to admit and base intelligent, proactive decisions upon.
Don Nelson has been crying about the "bloggerspehere" all year as he drinks his way to Maui. This is a new league, Warriors.
We may not know everything, but we're seeing the big picture
MUCH
MORE
CLEARLY
THAN
YOU
Van Gundy and Jackson just did 3 hours of material on the pathetic Suck you've built. I say they have more at the ready for Friday night so you'd better try to play this time around.
Fucking incompetent corporate stooges.
Eff you.

Sacramento Kings: Hey, Wait a Minute!
The Kings are apparently on the verge of getting free of the Shareef Abdur-Rahim contract, now and forever. They can axe Mikki Moore's unguaranteed $6 million or so for next year and, really, who wouldn't? MLE Gone Wild, yet again. And Sac is one of those teams everyone knows is doing the full-on rebuild but they haven't complicated matters by drastically overrating and overpaying incumbents and low-grade free agents like another team we all know and love. Sure, Beno Udrih and Francisco Garcia are useless poons way too often, but they don't hurt at all if the other dead weight is gone. Look it up. I'm right. Sac is about to run right past us. Again. Under Cohan's watch. Again.
http://www.shamsports.com/content/pages/data/salaries/kings.jsp
So when you see Sacramento moving out players in the very near future (NBA Trade Deadline mere weeks away) and taking back not much in the way of future salary, plus probably more than a few first round draft picks for players like Miller and Salmons, you have to take a look at not only their incredible flexibility for 2010, but the coming offseason, as well, and as a Warrior fan, you have to throw up in your mouth a little. Not because you have manorexia and need to get into those sweet designer jeans you saw Marco matching with hideous shoes at the last Douchebag Bench Summit at Oracle.
Just because you have to.
*UPDATE: Monta still on the trading block.
Warriorsworld is reporting that Monta Ellis was on the block for Carlos Boozer but something about Boozer being a douche bag who would bolt and Belinelli being a supposedly valuable player held it all up, even though the move makes perfect sense for everyone.
http://warriorsworld.net/
With the Monta trade rumor mill still not shut the eff up by The Old Drunk and the league's lamest PR Team, the Warriors are suddenly trying to suggest they've got a product worth giving a shit about even WITHOUT Monta!
Seriously. That's where the blogosophere is headed now.
And of course, Monta's 3rd or 4th game back is the nationally televised grudge match in Dallas I said they'd be just the sort of dumb fuck team to activate him for, even if they shouldn't. So it's all still over for good in WeBelieveVille, in case a scintillating victory against an 8 man D League squad about to clear out its vets had you convinced we were playoff bound.
National TV = League Value Up.
Just ask Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson.
Bye bye, Monta.
The Warriors: Epic Suck since 1994.

Hendu > Busta Rhymes
...and yet,
Jermareo Davidson will remain with the team all damn year.
By the way, Davidson was signed and retained for one reason and one reason alone: I exposed that the Warriors have a hissy bitch fest junior high clique war going with agent Andy Miller, who represents Kevin Garnett, Marreese Speights, JJ Hickson, Rudy Fernandez, Stephane Lasme, and Richard Hendrix. So this is all cover up for not wanting to give Garnett the big extension and having some negotiation "issues" in preliminary meetings on some of the other players on this list before opting for our terrible picks instead of these winners and B-E-A-S-T-S.
Yes, there is a trend here.
Yes, we continue to suffer for not doing what it took to get Garnett.
First Baron left when Garnett never walked through that door, then Rowell took the opportunity to push Mullin out, then Nelson helped him do so while trying to control message against a media world he cannot handle. It's only going to get worse.
Just wait.
Oh. Hendrix on the night: 17/16/3 BS
20/13/3 BS/4 AST the game before that.
Business as usual in Don Nelson Land. Happy Hour lasts all day.

Open Letter to Andris Biedrins
Andris,
Zarko and Marco may be fun at a party and great to hang with but we both know they're worthless NBA players. Idiot onliners and Bob Shitzgerald ("What's wrong with being a homer?!") may think Marco being a good guy to score some coke for you and hit the town with makes him an essential team piece, but Bob also thought it was dumb to draft Randolph and that Richard Hendrix would be a godsend, ready to play long before AR. Can't fault Fitz for reading some stats and liking Hendu's size. Hendu ain't bad. But the Randolph call was all bullshit. He'd never even seen him play.
Not once.
So, you know.... yeah.
You're better than them. Trim the fat.

Beat the Clips or Else...
We have to stomp the Clippers.
No excuses if we do not.
It had better be brutal. Complete annihilation.
Nothing short of monumental obliteration will suffice.
That is all.
Suck by the numbers:
Warriors PER (NBA Average: 15.00)
Biedrins 20.79 (-) 20.53
Wright 19.05
Maggette 16.99 (+) 17.17 - IDIOT
Morrow 16.52 (+) 16.75 - KEEPER
Crawford 15.78
Jackson 14.93 (+) 15.11 - IDIOT
Ellis 14.80 - STAR? KEEPER? PUNK?
Randolph 14.08 - Tiny ball returns. AR sits.
Azubuike 14.47 (-) 14.07
Watson 14.00 (-) 13.83
Kurz 13.54 - ............
Turiaf 13.16 (+) 13.22
Belinelli 12.63
Williams 5.84 - Team's best PG in practice.
Davidson -10.57
Nathan Jawai -18.51
Marcus Williams is killing it in practice but Nellie does not make decisions according to defensible criteria. The nutriderz swear they trust this man and that players must suck in practice if they're not seeing the floor. They're wrong, as usual. Randolph was great, got screwed with, got "iced," was re-introduced to the fold due to "injuries," was great if green, now is benched again. All the while, Nellie had to peddle the shit about him "earning his time." Bullshit. Nellie makes it up as he goes and it's all a big confused mess of stupid and booze at this point. Guy has nothing to offer the future.
Put him out to pasture. Now.
Morons.
And to Belinelli's lameass white Euro Trash shoes and the fat jackasses sitting next to the Warriors bench on Friday night (nice of you to show up for a change, fairweather fucktards. Have another Heineken and bang another hooker):
Eff you.
No excuses if we do not.

Monta to the Rescue! (Ticket Sales)
Matt Steinmetz and I were off by 2-3 weeks, though we agree that Ellis will look like shit tomorrow night and that this is a mistake.
GIMMICK. DEATH. SHITTIEST FRANCHISE IN THE LEAGUE!!!!!
This is all to fuck with media and me and attempt to buy back some fan love after the obvious low point of the season. These fucking idiots have nothing and now they'll risk losing even more games intentionally with the Ellis rehab until he starts to really help.
Trust me on this one.
The Warriors have been shitting the bed all season and pissing their pants when we say "Boo!"

All Offense + Ego
Steinmetz bit his tongue as best he could this morning on KNBR but, ultimately, the point he made on Gary's show was that Nellie is washed up, disinterested, and crazy. He's screwing with young players, has no plan or rational criteria by which to gauge team needs and future projection, and would be an unmitigated disaster with any more personnel authority than he currently has (a lot).
Hmmm. Why does it take them so long to just admit what I was right about all along? Why try to pass it off as some special treasure of media diligence in between team blowjobs and proxy team PR work? Matt, love ya, but get real. You know Nellie is a bloated, Scotch-logged beached whale and it's going to stink a hell of a lot worse before the carcas is disposed of. I recommend dynamite!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFwxH3PPWiU
The Homer Moron Toolz are already polishing up the massive turd that is a home loss to the league's worst record- all that young talent! They're on such a hot streak!- but really, they all know a real coaching staff would have examined the tape to see WHY this young rebuilding team with nothing but brightness ahead like Portland was beating folks now and then. Instead, it was status quo bullshit and 120+ points surrendered. No spin for this one.
"We just fucking suck, folks. Deal with it. For once in your miserable lives, just admit that you approach your fandom like a moronic bible belter with no concept of reality and shut the fuck up. we're sick of you and your no NBA know-how idiocy." (Don Nelson*)
Anyway, by the numbers:
Warriors PER (NBA Average: 15.00)
Biedrins 20.79
Wright 19.05
Maggette 16.70 (+) 16.99
Morrow 16.42 (+) 16.52
Crawford 16.05 (-) 15.79 - Trade restrictions lifted yesterday.
Jackson 14.82 (+) 14.93 - MS: "Good fourth wheel in a box."
Azubuike 14.14 (+) 14.47 - Off the bench, I won't worry too much.
Randolph 14.24 (-) 14.10
Watson 13.84 (+) 14.00 - Short Pietrus.
Kurz 13.28 (+) 13.55 - Jesus Christ.
Turiaf 13.02 (+) 13.16
Belinelli 12.65
Williams 5.86 - You KNOW he's better than Belinelli, idiots.
Davidson -10.57
Ellis - $3 million in savings and counting!!!!!

Corey Maggette: Trade Deadline Prize
League's Best Available Elite Sixth Man
Marketing 101. Bobby has a duhgree in Spin.

Suns Sign Courtney Sims
He's old as shit.
Hendu officially a bust?
If Hendu isn't in the league by Valentine's Day, I'm shutting it down.

Marco's Fashion Sense
He looked like shit today. Like some sort of Johnny Cash/Clint Eastwood/Marcello Mastraionni wannabe. Wasn't working. He just came off as douchey JC Penny's Clearance Rack two sizes too small, with tacky shoes. That's great for me and the normal world but when some multimillionaire who works less than your local grocery bagger- by a LOT- walks around like he shits cancer-curing champagne but dresses like a prom geek slob, it must be addressed at face value.
He looked over at me a few times and seemed convinced he was making a meaningful impression. The impression I actually got:
This idiot needs someone to dress him in the morning.
Please get Marco back in uniform immediately. He still looks like shit and makes us lose, but at least heinous mishaps such as we witnessed today won't sully my game-going experience any more than actual attendance already does.
If "I shop in the junior high formal wear department" was what you were going for today Marco, you fucking terrible fucking basketball player/lard-butted lazy ass, good work.
Effing 'nozzle. God he sucks hard.

Buy those tickets, morons!!!!!

Steve Kerr > Robert Rowell
Early reports have Richard Hendrix a possible acquisition by the Phoenix Suns, barely into 10-Day contract season. Kosta Perovic, Chris Taft, Jermareo Davidson, Stephane Lasme, Patrick O'Bryant, Ike Diogu, Brandan Wright, Anthony Randolph, Mickael Pietrus, and Derrick Zimmerman could not be reached for comment.
The other Rowell draft picks (Ellis and Biedrins) said "Eff You."

Halfway Through and...
Nobody cares.
That's how you measure Suck accurately.
No one even bothers talking about it anymore.

My sources always suck but...
At Christmas time, I heard Mullin was about to be sacked. Of course, that didn't happen and Bobby Rowell promptly scheduled a heavily covered joint courtside appearance with Mully to watch Monta try not to wince too much as he took a few jumpers and risked permanent catastrophic damage to his ankle while the Warriors shopped him around the league (ongoing).
Then I posted the stupid rumor about Ellis playing in the Boston game from Some Guy and Nelson's daily bullshit report. That didn't happen either, as I said at the time. But posting ain't no crime...
So hold firm in your estimation that my word on Warriors moves and their approaching reality is bullshit. It is. I don't know what stupid PR stunt the idiots who run this organization are going to pull next. I just know they'll do something and that it will be 100% retarded and not at all related to playing consistent winning basketball with any championship aspirations whatsoever. Ever.
That's the big secret of the league that you'd know intuitively if you had a brain and realized that every single owner in this league is some little old white dude who can't get it up or has his eyebrows professionally shaped (I'm lookin' at you, Mark Cuban):
You can make as much as or more than everyone else whether you ever win much of anything or not. Win just a little and the suckers will make you rich many times over. The extra cash and luxury tax NBA welfare kept in pocket would make rat fink bean counting sphincter boyz like Bobby Rowell's owner feel much better, rest assured, than spending big, making less, and winning some stupid trophy while the fat drunk coach and world famous NBA All Stars who killed him midseason hogged all the glory and stole the spotlight.
Rowell's tiny head would explode.
This would of course suggest that sacking a coach with two years remaining on his deal is not going to happen. Except that it just did. And now, of course, the previous burnt pile of money has a nationally ranked college team at the shittier Bay Area college with worse public works and less hot pieces of spoiled brat ass.
These things count.
On a related note, Mike M. should have never left NCAA work. He's good at it. More importantly, the morons in the front office should have never tried to get him. Robert ("I've been here 6 years!") Rowell blew that call hard core. Monty was never going to work out and Baron Davis was of course never going to work until his contract was coming up. Monty was just in the wrong place at the wrong fat lazy ass poser wannabe balla time.
All of which leads me to this hot bit passed on by a guy who knows things at a Bay Area business of respectable name and reputation in a town called home by just about every non-Cohan major NBA operative or decision maker currently residing in the Bay Area:
Nelson is gone at season's end.
We'll see.

3 Pointers or Bust
No progress whatsoever.
Atlanta's lost 6 of 8 and was without Al Horford.
103 was their scoring high over that stretch until they met us.
We gave up 114 to them and only won due to hot three point shooting and 5 extra home court foul shots.
This team is pathetic.
Jackson's return: Shit.
7-20 from the field?! 6 more turnovers?!
Good god we're screwed. We'll steal meaningless wins against patsies now and then, ruin draft position, fail to reach the playoffs, and status quo will hold firm on the Three Chuckers:
Jackson, Maggette, Crawford.
So fucked.

Notes from the D-League
Busta Rhymes pre-call up and immediate star-building Nellie Ice Job:
33.6 MPG/16.1 PPG/.519/.781/10.8 RPG/1.9 APG/1.5 BPG/2.0 FPG
Hendrix:
30.3 MPG/13.9 PPG/.541/.662/11.1 RPG/1.5 APG/1.41 BPG/4.4 FPG
By all numbers I've seen anywhere, Hendrix will cost more off the team than Davidson will cost on it. This is all about one thing and one thing only:
Don Nelson
And yet, even folks who should know better continue their apologist propagandizing. Get a clue, folks.

Too easy.
However, Marco is still ahead of Adam Morrison.
The Chardonnay set, Hyphie retreads, and faux cosmopolitans in the Bay Area sure do love their swagger-whiteboyz and Euro Trash.
ADDENDUM: Anyone referring to Andris Biedrins as "Euro Trash" will be e-shot on sight.

Monta Ellis Likes Money
As the idiot wind blows strong and steady, like we beat a shit Boston road squad or something, swirling around the Monta Ellis/Warriors toilet, one thing becomes readily apparent:
There are a lot of fucking retards who follow the Warriors and Rowell and co. have them riding the collective Warriors PR nutsack hard and steady. Since that was known a long, long time ago, there is essentialy no news to report.
Buy more tickets!!!!! Season ticket lock-in date only weeks away!!!!!

Kurz almost single-handedly losing us this game in Portland.
Jermareo Davidson looks like Busta Rhymes. That is all.

After two low key games at the D-League showcase as Rob Benson flexed his blogger cred by crapping all over the floor and the shitwings put up their volume shooting numbers, Richard Hendrix returned to standard minutes and put up his customary 17/13.
That guy wouldn't help at all.

Nelson's Blow Up: FAIL
Things we learned from Don Nelson last night:
1. He is not equipped for the new media world.
2. He blames everyone but himself for his team's deficiencies.
3. I'm done, we've already got 2 uncorrectable problems that scream: "Washed up high maintenance prima donna."
4. One more for the hell of it- Robert Rowell will never swallow his pride on his terrible moves. We're in this Suck for the long haul.

Damage Control Top Pantyhose
So Robert Rowell was announced as today's 11 AM guest with Gary Radnich at WarriorsRadio, roughly about the time I was in my car listening Gary blow the steam off of his first cup of coffee. The "promos"- does the average fan even know who the hell Rowell is? Doubtful, much to Rowell's overactive sphincter muscle's itchy chagrin- ran until roughly the time I got out of my car and started my brilliant work at the day job, Gary's first commercial break. A couple of hours later, I'm told, The Big Nerd was gabbing it up in the hour of Gary's show after Tony Bruno affectionately known as
"Radnich is still on the air after the Bruno bit?"
I did get to hear some chit chat about Randy Johnson's dick and his bad attitude from the always enjoyable Ralph and Tom. As for whatever came in between today... couldn't tell ya. So yeah, all's well. No one is still hanging on the Nelson Freak Out Media/Blogger Bitch Out, Get Off My Lawn you Damned Kids Senior Moment. Everything's fine.
Robert Rowell can't even get crucial, inevitable, and undisguised damage control right. What a fucking douche.
Eff you.

Don Nelson Hates the Intranetz. And the Media. And his Players. And Ralph Barbieri. And Himself...
Don Nelson was on KNBR bitching about bloggers and the media today. The last hotshot grisled genius exec to do this? Kevin McHale. Keep up the axe grinding agenda parade, Nellie. We're totally buying your bullshit for the umpteenth time around. Really, you've got us all fooled, you crotchety, washed-up old drunk.
We'll get right off yer lawn, no worries.
Hack franchise.
As the overtime damage control and stinkless shit Warriors PR work kicks into megaoverdrive, we'd like to offer this symbol of our appreciation to Don Nelson:

We'll see.
Meanwhile, Bobby and Chrissy made sure (Bobby made sure Chrissy was there, more likely) to get some courtside face time in on the Ellis rehab, just in time to jumpstart the season ticket push. Lock-in date only 8 weeks away!!!!! Bob Fitzgerald has the story and the latest team talking points (and even poor Tim Roye has taken to the PR fluff rants) at noon on KNBR.
This team is such a mess. No plan, no intelligence, just selfish ego-driven PR bullshit and cash-mongering.
Ah, Amerika!

Nellie's complaint was lobbed at the local press corps, whom he insists upon reverse-bullying with the myth that they're bullying him or, get this, somehow harming the young talent. Right. Well done, you miserable fucking egotistical asshole. You're such a fucking trainwreck of a human being, Nellie. God you suck. Etc. If the real media were writing stupid shit like that, you'd be on to something, you old sot. But they're not. They're just talking to folks other than you and printing what they find out, whether it fits your fantastic Daiquiri-mix-infused version of reality or not. But the national media doesn't bother showing up for your lameass bullshit post game press conferences/berations. Instead, they write shit like this:

MopedGate + ChinGate = WebberGate Redux
Suck it, homerz.
This ship goes down and it's all about the Benjamins.
Or the Woodrows, to be a bit more NBA increment appropriate.
http://blogs.mercurynews.com/kawakami/2009/01/06/ellis-randolph-and-the-further-future-discontent-of-the-warriors/
If you're still stubbornly refusing to deal with reality, let me make this perfectly clear for you:
IT'S ALREADY TOTALLY FUCKED!
This drama parade is unsalvageable. The little you hear does not mean there is even less to worry about. It means there is OH so much more to worry about. Admit it, you were only thinking about Monta's ankle this whole time. You weren't thinking he wants to get the hell away from the management about to run him out early for a variety of cash-centric reasons. You weren't. And that's OK. And you'll stubbornly refuse the Kawakami elixir to the last.
He was wrong about Garnett, right? Then he found out why he was wrong: the Warriors refused to talk big extension for Garnett, who was already sort of kind of telling his peeps to keep him the hell out of Oakland. They'll extend Stephen Jackson right through Nelson's likely funeral proceedings, but no extra years for Garnett.
The beans don't sort out right on that count.
But the speed with which the other beaters rushed to cover the Kawakami details in their own words says it all:
The story has just begun.
This mother is coming DOWN, folks. Brace yourselves. No lube on this one. Belinelli can't save you, Homer Moron Toolz.
Keep spending that sweet, sweet cash.
Go Lakers!
Wait... oh shit, that ain't right.
This ship goes down and it's all about the Benjamins.
Or the Woodrows, to be a bit more NBA increment appropriate.

If you're still stubbornly refusing to deal with reality, let me make this perfectly clear for you:
IT'S ALREADY TOTALLY FUCKED!
This drama parade is unsalvageable. The little you hear does not mean there is even less to worry about. It means there is OH so much more to worry about. Admit it, you were only thinking about Monta's ankle this whole time. You weren't thinking he wants to get the hell away from the management about to run him out early for a variety of cash-centric reasons. You weren't. And that's OK. And you'll stubbornly refuse the Kawakami elixir to the last.
He was wrong about Garnett, right? Then he found out why he was wrong: the Warriors refused to talk big extension for Garnett, who was already sort of kind of telling his peeps to keep him the hell out of Oakland. They'll extend Stephen Jackson right through Nelson's likely funeral proceedings, but no extra years for Garnett.
The beans don't sort out right on that count.
But the speed with which the other beaters rushed to cover the Kawakami details in their own words says it all:
The story has just begun.
This mother is coming DOWN, folks. Brace yourselves. No lube on this one. Belinelli can't save you, Homer Moron Toolz.
Keep spending that sweet, sweet cash.
Go Lakers!
Wait... oh shit, that ain't right.
Tomorrow's the big day!
Will Rob Kurz the pussyass nobody survive?!?!?

Richard Hendrix : Genius
Through the first half today at the D-League Showcase, Hendu has ZERO boards and 25-year-old scrub headcase lazyass Courtney Sims is putting on a hitting display opposite him.
Since the major scouting contingencies at this PostDraft Camp are the drunken Appalachian State MBA/JD-type sots who work for crapass teams like the Warriors and Timberwolves, this virtually guarantees that Hendrix will only have to work for contenders if and when signed to replace some injured or blacklisted superstar later this month or nearer the trading deadline.
This kid is the real deal. NBA ready in all ways.
Including play budgeting.

Starting Fresh: Player PER
OK, no tracking this time around. We'll ring in the New Year with just the current numbers from Hollinger Land. I might track from here. We'll see. The Nelson cut is a promising development and the decreased Belinelli playing time with ongoing proof of Morrow's reliable NBA role has me feeling pretty chipper today.
The permanent disclaimer: I'm a lazy fuck, so don't expect too much.
Warriors PER (NBA Average: 15.00)
Biedrins 21.19
Wright 19.15
[Louis Amundson 16.50]
Maggette 16.19
Crawford 15.94
Morrow 15.86
Jackson 14.61 - Hope the fake hammy pull holds him out a while.
Kurz 14.27 - Wasn't he brilliant last night?
Watson 14.15- More important than Marco.
Azubuike 13.72
Belinelli 13.42 - Who? (Euromoronsezwhat)
Randolph 13.04
Turiaf 11.39
Davidson 9.87 (07-08)
Williams 3.35 - and still our best point guard
Ellis - $3 million + saved so far.

Shaun Livingston Released, Warriors DDs Shoot their Collective Wad
Hey dumbasses, remember when Shaun Livingston was the answer to our prayers three months ago?! Yeah, about that:
Eff You.
Eff You.
Tank yer Mom
Tim Kawakami is joining the online ranks of retards to take up the TANK 08 mantel, much more 'wieldy than TANK 09. This stupid idea started amongst the onliners some weeks ago as part of a broad "Everything is OK, Don Nelson is a Genius!" WarriorSpeak campaign launched by team intranetz moles and loyal Dungeons and Dragons retreads of the New Millenium who know more about NBA 2k9 and hip hop than they do about the actual NBA. No shame in either, but they at least need to be honest with themselves about the video games and their ongoing personal identity performances: you're the New Millenium version of D&D freakz. Deal with it.
Anyway, many of the Warriors' New Millenial DDers attend California colleges such as CSU East Bay, SFSU, UC Berkeley, and Stanford. Some write from down south while they bask in smog and fake tits and mostly miss games but catch all the action on SportsCenter and the boxscores. A few more even check in from overseas.
A special note on Warriors fandom abroad:
There are two kinds of Warriors Expats.
1. Working adults with steady careers and family lives who have always liked the Warriors and followed them religiously when closer to them. These folks tend to be smart, even circumspect in their criticism and analysis, and freely admit that they cannot catch anywhere close to every game. Funny, appropriately WarriorsCynical, and often times a little bit old-fashioned, these folks love the Quest for the NBA Big and do not munch Nellie's nutz. Some reside in Florida, which is as close to a foreign country as DDs will ever get.
Hate Cohan.
2. Fucking idiots who only started watching games when other online fans told them to do so or shut the fuck up. These individuals continue to blow Rowell and co. hard and support all front office moves while applying Marco Belinelli lube to their taintal region.
Love Cohan.
Moving on...
The TANK 08 ('wieldy) talk is total bullshit. My brilliant analysis will be brief as I must go off to produce my next brilliant bit of bullshit for the day job.
1. We want this organization to have high draft picks without Mullin doing the selection... why?
2. David Stern is apparently a huge fan of Don Nelson's bullshit.
3. We play Stephen Jackson 48 minutes per. Are we admitting we signed him only to tank for the next 5 years with him on the court losing games? Maggette immediately gets max playing time as he seems to break several bones and pull several body parts in his debut return from a month's hiatus with a hammy. Trade showcase or Best Player Available, max run for Nellie's Wins Record? Likewise, this logic (brilliant as usual) suggests that Wright, Randolph, and Hendrix would win us too many games and hurt draft position.
OK, now it's starting to make sense.
4. Nellie's Wins Record? We need this record, immediately.
5. The Draft Class itself.
You all know the usual analysis sites.
http://www.nbadraft.net/, etc.
Some of you even fancy yourselves quite the Draft Eligible ball "experts." One retarded multi-alias Warriors forum schmuck has been masquerading as another retarded multi-alias Warriors forum schmuck in hopes that his brilliant junk-grabbing for two established first round options will come off as some sort of relevant "discovery." Others see two minutes of video footage of ball tricks, read a Chad Ford article, and follow the EurOlympics preceding the Gold Medal game and then pronounce Ricky Rubio, the latest Ford International Hot Pick Top-3 talent (Yi and Bargnani are but the most recent incarnations of the Ford Fenomenon), the next Great Point Guard. And just about everyone is enamored of Blake Griffin's Carlos Boozer-lite routine in perhaps the worst NBA bigman class of the DDs young, short, insignificant lives.
But in short, this draft class is a bullshit class to bother moving up in. The only solid bets, for THIS team and its Nelson Psychosis especially, are shitwings or littles. And We're not looking like a top-3 bet, so Rubio, potentially the most overrated Euro guard EVER, is not in our cards. Griffin is not in our cards.
All of the crapshoot shitballers that would come after: in the cards.
Three weeks ago, the DDs were on DeSagana Thabeet's stupid fucking jock. Then they actually saw him play a game. Naturally, that event sparked the Greg Monroe Mass Taint Lick. Now I suppose we're all on to Dejuan Blair. Fucking idiots. These guys are all projects at best but the DDs lap it up like so much Nellie Spunk. And they hate Brook Lopez and Kevin Love. Do the math. They also hate Tyler Hansbrough, but I support them in this affection. Tyler will atend Duke Law School and will defend Republicans, exclusively, against corruption and pedophilia charges for the remainder of his stupid Cracker life. Fuck Tyler Hansbrough. People like Tyler Madsen are what make college basketball total bullshit sometimes and utterly unwatchable nine times out of ten.
Continue on with the list of likely first rounders and tell me why I should give two shits about shitwings who would go 17th at the earliest in last year's drat class but are lock top-10s or worse this year. Explain to me how Earl Clark or DaJuan Summers are NOT going to play ineffective power forward for Don Nelson. Let us all in on the secret reasoning for even considering this year's Jonathan Clay "J.J." ReDick Pick, Stephen Curry.
Etc.
This draft class has NBA players in it, make no mistake, but to the fucktards continuing to ascribe some sort of noteworthy value to the shite record we built of our own stupid fucking accord, a record that does not necessarily get fixed by adding Monta Ellis to the toxic Stephen Jackson Show mix at all and that won't change who coaches and signs checks, well to those morons:

Jerry West in the House
At my behest, the Golden State Warriors have cut a member of the All Dead Weight Team in order to "recover" their second round Alabama PF draft pick from his D-League Annihilation Tour.
Nice to see I still wield some influence around here.

No ring for Patty Cakes
Watch for the week's overkill "What's Wrong with Boston?" bullshit.
I mentioned the depth/playing time problem Boston faces with aging starters and no consistent bench guys but they're also coached by an absolute moron and managed by a chimpanzee.
POB can't win.
Celtics will get pummeled by Lebron's penis and his 4 testes.
I mean teammates. In a 7 game series against LA this year, Boston would win 1 if they killed Kobe Bryant pre-game.
So, really, you impossible fucking idiots I predicted we'd hear a ton of Bandwagon BS from after the Boston win, just shut the fuck up. Grow a pair and admit you're fucking retarded NBA nincompoops.
Cohan FTW, as usual.

Randolph = Webber
Nellie's PR Stunt has arrived!!!
I said he needed one since the Defensive Coordinator thing was shite, and now we have it. From Janny Hu at SFGate:
"Three weeks after Nelson called out the 19-year-old for poor practice habits, the coach said he's shelving his rookie for the time being.
'We're going to put him on ice for a while, until the assistant coaches tell me he's ready to play in an NBA game and my captains tell me he's ready," Nelson said. "He's just going to have to grow up.'"
So our "new" distraction is that Don Nelson has attitude issues with his lottery pick bigman (men).
Matt Steinmetz has a fun anecdotal instance he stored up for a time like today, and I had a hearty laugh on this one:
"Rob Kurz caught an elbow from Randolph that broke open Kurz' chin and sent him to the locker room bloodied. It was an elbow that at least one Warrior thought was uncalled-for. Kurz was playing three-on-three with some other low-minute players after the team's official practice had ended. It was Kurz and Randolph and Corey Maggette, Marcus Williams, Anthony Morrow and DeMarcus Nelson. They seemed to be going about 80 percent. During one possession, in which Randolph seemed to be frustrated, he went hard to the basket and caught Kurz under the chin. Kurz immediately left the court and was eventually escorted to the locker room by athletic trainer Tom Abdenour. At the far end of the court, Jackson and some other veterans were watching. After Kurz left the gym, Jackson began shouting at Randolph from the other end of the floor. The message: That wasn't cool."
I think Jackson is wrong on this one. I'll skip over the easy fan-beating and strip club violence jokes here. Jackson and Ric Bucher and David Stern want you to know that we've moved past that now. But Jackson gets it wrong for another reason. That reason:
Fuck Rob Kurz
Seriously, this stupid fucker has no talent and was total shit against Kevin Love, who BLEW by him, and anyone else on the court. Kevin Love is very good. Kevin Love is not very fast. We're running out a 4-year non-draftee against a top 5 lottery talent guy who can't out run anyone in the league besides our 4-year non-draftee. And we're telling ourselves that this somehow makes sense and is defensible the morning after because NELLIE HAS A PROBLEM WITH HIS BIGMAN KID. Only this time, Nellie has the blame spread around a little. He's gotten a little better at the nuts and bolts of the cop out game, I guess. Jackson and the assistant nutmuncherz are all implicated in RandolphGate whether they like it or not. Please, beaters, keep asking Nellie easy set-up questions for his bullshit. It makes for great entertainment. Anyway,
Fuck Rob Kurz
He was destroyed by Minnesota's front, middle, and back lines. He fucking sucks and he looks dumb. Randolph is tough and aggressive and he beat the shit out of Kurz because Kurz was gifted minutes he should be getting (see Lowell Cohn's inevitable Nellie & The D-League bit on The Myth of Done Nelson, exclusively authored by Don Nelson: http://blog.pressdemocrat.com/cohn/2009/01/nellie-and-the-d-league.html). Randolph should have taken his knee out. Here's why...
The Warriors drafted this top 5 talent at 14 because everyone saw the Sean Williams red lights flashing and stayed the fuck away: this kid had a bad rep. Whatever, Nelson is wont to trump up shallow public knowledge bits when it suits his purposes. That's beside the point. The point:
Fuck Rob Kurz
The Warriors either knew what they were getting into or they didn't. They and THEY ALONE are responsible for this mess and Nelson and co. have set Mullin up to be the bigtime fall guy on EVERYTHING. Rowell came out at the beginning of the season and took credit for the high of highs ("I've been here for 6 years") and launched his Mullin ouster. BRILLIANT accompaniment to a major transition year as you failed to keep your supposed franchise player in line over the Summer and overextended a guy who immediately showed why all the bean counting and league salary averages in the world can't explain away moronic extension granting. Harrington out, get a worse guy on a longer deal for more total money in. Etc., it's an easy story to tell. Rowell, Mullin, Riley, Nelson, D'Alessandro, whatever. Fucking chimps from the top down.
So the Randolph morsel is just the latest installment of drama for the tradewinds and the pundits, all to divert attention from the fact of the matter:
Don Nelson is fucking done and so are the Warriors.
Fuck Rob Kurz

So that Defensive Coordinator thing........ not so much.
Not much to say on this, just thought you might have forgotten about it like a Good Little Nellie KoolAid Drinker would. Bob Shitzgerald says Ellis a lot, apparently. No mention of the Fabulous new Keith Smart Defense. I'm sure it just slipped his mind in between Rowell Jobs.
Nellie named Keith Smart D Guru about two weeks ago now. Sidney Moncrief is supposedly helping out. It's largely irrelevant because the gimmick PR stunt announcement was total bullshit. This is the same shitty ass defense we always see from a Don Nelson-coached team. Nellie's due for a new PR stunt soon, the D Coord thing died quick.
Nelson made the announcement that Smart and Moncrief would be held responsible for the Warriors' defense (not him) before the win in Charlotte December 20th. Nothing looks any better and the average PPG against since then is now at 108. We're still giving up 111 and change per night on the year and tonight's laugher in Minnesota should explain that well enough.
Smart and The Help are giving up more PPG than any other team in the league. The Knicks give up 107.8 per game on the year.
Well done, Nellie. Well done.
"For my next act..."

Player of the Game: Richard Hendrix
Again?
Tonight, the Warriors are outrebounded by 11 (sort of a trend).
Richard Hendrix, as if by magic, grabs 11 boards.
Hendrix on the night: 18/11/3 BS, 8-12, 2-2 FT
On the bright side, the Warriors besides Andris Biedrins were NOT outrebounded by Hendrix as they were Wednesday night when Hendrix grabbed 25 boards. However, his 11 DID match the total for all starters other than Andris Biedrins. Something tells me these sorts of comparisons are going to happen again.

Hendrix = Armageddon
As usual, I'm weeks ahead of the curve on this.
I've been covering the Hendrix story since Day 1.
But folks will start coming around.
Hendrix is tearing up the D League.
That's how Azubuike and Wtson got where they are.
An Azubuike/Watson-level extra bigman who ACTUALLY GOT PLAYING TIME would be a small step in the right direction for this team. But no...

Wright's disappear(ed) playing time...
DISCLAIMER:
Some of this will read like I know what I'm doing. Don't let that detract from what a huge stupid asshole I am. There's enough disorganized ranting here to make up for any brief stints of legibility.
With news of Corey Maggette's improved health and Riley's announcement that no trades are imminent, we can only assume that Brandan Wright has had it. He's on his way out of town, most likely, as 6'9" and taller guys Nelson has shit on for years tend to be following a freak streak of starts with no team success due to Nelson sabotage and player value inflation. I mean, you'd have to be an IDIOT to not see how much better the team is with Wright in as opposed to someone else, at least if you're playing normal winning basketball, not egoball. So some team will jump on Wright, confident this is just another Nellie Big Kill, and that will be that.
The team is much better with Wright in, and it's visible, but who cares? Not Nellie.
Wright has not logged significant time with very many 5 man units, but he is part of the #1 floor time unit, and the 5,6,7, and 14 and 16. The difference for a Nellie team, of course, is that his top 5 man floor time unit has 58 minutes together. The Celtics, by contrast, have 700 (110 is second). They're doomed. Lakers' tops is 302 and 6 other lineups with more time than the Warriors' top unit. Blazers 224 and 6 other 5-man lineups with more floor time together than the Warriors' top unit. Cleveland's top 4 are 457-115-96-61.
The Warriors' top 5: 59-44-33-32. Clearly, there's some mixing and matching going on. Nellie is checking his guys out, in lots of strange variations, with an obvious plan in place for his matchup genius. And he doesn't have one of his 40 MPG guys, Monta Ellis, or another one, Maggette, so the second half figures to settle down a bit. Second half will be more like Ellis-Crawford-Jackson-Maggette-Biedrins 500, etc. I'm sure of it. And we won't make the playoffs but perhaps Nellie can get closer to the Wins Record so we can get our version of the Bonds home run chase fucking over with.
Geoff Lepper mounted an impressive game tape analysis of the Brandan Wright rebounding debacle from OKC:
http://48minutes.net/2009/01/01/brandan-wright%e2%80%99s-incredible-shrinking-rebounding-numbers/
Geoff's analysis is better than I'll attempt and very provocative. I can't discount the work at all. I dig it and I'm in agreement about Wright's green team defensive game. Right now, he's a super-talented "garbage man" who is clearly in the game on offense and has a way of disrupting myriad shots AND rebounding opportunities with his length and body control, though as we've gone over and over and over... he's not Monster in the Painted Area. And as a cursory minutes analysis suggests, the primary mode in which to judge any Warrior right now is indeed as an individual set of habits, mistakes, successes, and statistics, as Geoff did. But the overarching team analysis, measures of consistency, habituation, and balanced chemistry and complementary play, might stop at Nellie Ball. Or Shit Ball, depending upon the depths of your Homer depravity.
At bottom, there is a growing sense around the online fan community that the substitutions and rotations are criminally bad, bad enough to have prompted countless charges of tanking, sabotage, and plain old drunken crazy. Or so I'm told. No one is sure what Nelson is going for besides the default "small ball." Injuries to wing types and Ellis and constantly reinvented excuses for not just checking out new lineups like Randolph-Wright-Biedrins or Biedrins-Turiaf-Kurz or Hendrix-PlayerX-PlayerX, or any other intuitive "Rebound Squads," have left the team a mess of incompletion and sparkling anti-rebounding to depths that even Don Nelson can be proud of. We have the third leading raw individual rebounder in the league and yet we are quite securely the league's worst rebounding team on the defensive glass and in overall team differential. Nombers be damned, we're just the worst rebounding team in the league even if we get some great offensive raw numbers due to an excess of missed shots.
In short, there is no Warriors rebounding efficiency "there" to point at and dissect. Player cooperation, basic fundamental individual play, etc., should be simple analytic targets in a simple situational, satistical vacuum. But Nellie Ball renders it all moot under the sweeping audacity of terrible team play. He has effectively turned this team into something about HIM, not something about the players, and nowhere is this no apparent than rebounding.
To see a second year player struggle a bit with team play should be about the most natural thing in the world. And now, it's time to seriously consider the likelihood that certain Mullin draft picks have been systematically jerked around as pawns in Nellie's front office power machinations. We've heard reports about the excellent work of players like Wright and Marcus Williams from players like Matt Barnes last year and numerous players this year, all of which conflict with the Nelson Speak agenda.
Chances are good Wright struggles now and then in practice, and that he has missed some of the concepts the team tries to get its players set on. Then again, if things change daily in practice the way they change daily in the reactionary Warriors talk points and ass-covering, good luck to any young player without a Mensa membership or Lebron James-caliber natural talent. You'll never survive. And yet, as anyone who has seen Wright in scrimmage situations and game situations will attest, the natural ability and ball sense is apparent. MISTAKES, on the other hand, are just that. If it's easy enough for a beat guy or a couch potato blogger to pick them up on first appraisal, how can the coaching staff be excused for failing to work on these issues since day one? Is the player THIS bad?
As astute comments to Geoff's great work suggest, there's another story here. Brandan Wright may have some bad mistakes to rattle off from the OKC game, other games, and practices, but team rebounding seems better with him around. Those posters are on to something. Only the departed Al Harrington and the still here Corey Maggette top Wright's involvement in top team-rebounding next to Andris Biedrins.
Disregard Stephen Jackson's involvement in any floortime unit rundown and I'll tell you why: He's always on the floor. To investigate Warriors 5-man floor units, all of which basically have sucked so far, is in reality to investigate 4-man accompanying units for Jackson. There's only one top-20 5 man unit he's not a part of, and that unit is naturally the primary unit from the recent stretch of Jackson absence: Crawford-Belinelli-Azubuike-Wright-Biedrins. And on rebounding, it's no mistake to see Jackson part of terrible rebounding teams. He may get some simple individual boxscore stats now and then but, by and large, he's among the league's worst rebounding SFs. This cannot be adequately quantified, though there are numbers that can help. But anyone watching him knows he is perhaps as apathetic on rebounding as Jamal Crawford is on defense.
Back to Wright, since he can improve. Jackson is what he is.
Maggette-Harrington-Biedrins comprised the best rebounding lineup the Warriors have played this year. Maggette, hate him all you want, is one of the league's top rebounding SFs. I hate him, all I want, and I don't give a shit. But he is. Harrington, hate him all you want, was a better rebounder than the shitwing brigade left in his wake. I hate him and don't give a shit. But he was. And Baron Davis and Monta Ellis are uncommonly good lead guard rebounders. They're also gone. So Maggette-Harrington-Biedrins had more minutes at higher rebounding rates than any other set of players. They're in the two head-and-shoulders-best 5-man rebounding units for the Warriors.
Watson, Crawford, Belinelli, and Jackson are not rebounders. They may get some now and then but take a very close look at their best individual rebounding performances and you'll immediately start to see weird team trends and watch the actual tape and, of course, you'll see them putting up 0.0 fight for rebounds at just about every turn. These four players are actually as close to a negative influence on team rebounding as exists in the league. Math geeks, to your calculators. I'm right. Jocks, you watch and you can see it. You see how lazy and weak the little shitwings are. You're also retarded, so you'll defend Jackson and Belinelli because you love the smell of their huge hairy balls. But you know I'm right, deep down in that dark, normal, un'roided corner of your dumb jock heart. Now go play 2k9. Work out. Have another beer. Maybe don't pay. Be a man, tough guy. When you get back, you'll still know that the Warriors don't do rebounding and are struggling to keep a $9 million player, 3rd in the league in raw individual rebounding, on the floor for even 30 minutes a night.
Nellie's shitwing sandwich is predicated upon above average rebounding from his guards and at least one of his other two wings. He doesn't have his pets around to get the job done for him and he can't stand diagramming for players who can't chuck from anywhere on the floor at any given time, so we've got Azubuike doing OK sometimes on rebounding and Watson and Belinelli... not. Hence, the weird use of Wright and Randolph- not enough offensive versatility, too many green bigman mistakes. Nellie needs to WIN, dammit!
Jackson he plays because Nellie is also a dumb jock. He's been babbling about numbers at various stages in his recent Warriors dementia but, really, he just repeats whatever li'l Stevie Silas whisper in his ear as he delivers his Scotch-addled old body to the hotel room after last call and hopes it'll stick for the pesky folks suddenly interested in the terrible shooting of his favorite players or, worse, the shitty defense and rebounding NellieBall seems to engender time and time and time again.
Jackson is so fucking terrible, there should be an award named after him: "Shittiest guy who has played like an All Star in two extremely impressive short term stints, both strangely contiguous to contractual windfall, ever." Unfortunately, he would fall somewhere around pedestrian, average, and sub-Baron Davis on a chart of NBA peak play-new contract correlation.
So here we go, more stupid math I don't actually understand. Circumstantial mumbo-jumbo from 82games.com, extrapolated by a typical hack buffoon. Still, it's more that you did, you sap, so deal with it or do better, like Geoff does.
Of the top 10 rebounding 5 man units post-Harrington, by rebounding percentage, Brandan Wright is in 4 of them, including the top 2. Remember, Wright is only in 6 of the top minutes Warriors units. Let's stop here. Math sucks and we're all bad at it. And Wright is an idiot kid like another very strong rebounding/goal protection element by the numbers, Anthony Randolph (third rated rookie rebounder). So obviously, fuck him. He'd screw up the Nellie mastermind winning genius we get from our shitwing brigade instead of Tall Ball idiocy.
I claim via Stupid Math that the Warriors will rebound better as a team if they play Wright and Randolph more. Or Hendrix. Or Biedrins with another rebounder for more than 5 minutes a game. And I claim that it would make a difference to winning games.
Tell me I'm wrong.
Eff you.
Some of this will read like I know what I'm doing. Don't let that detract from what a huge stupid asshole I am. There's enough disorganized ranting here to make up for any brief stints of legibility.
With news of Corey Maggette's improved health and Riley's announcement that no trades are imminent, we can only assume that Brandan Wright has had it. He's on his way out of town, most likely, as 6'9" and taller guys Nelson has shit on for years tend to be following a freak streak of starts with no team success due to Nelson sabotage and player value inflation. I mean, you'd have to be an IDIOT to not see how much better the team is with Wright in as opposed to someone else, at least if you're playing normal winning basketball, not egoball. So some team will jump on Wright, confident this is just another Nellie Big Kill, and that will be that.
The team is much better with Wright in, and it's visible, but who cares? Not Nellie.
Wright has not logged significant time with very many 5 man units, but he is part of the #1 floor time unit, and the 5,6,7, and 14 and 16. The difference for a Nellie team, of course, is that his top 5 man floor time unit has 58 minutes together. The Celtics, by contrast, have 700 (110 is second). They're doomed. Lakers' tops is 302 and 6 other lineups with more time than the Warriors' top unit. Blazers 224 and 6 other 5-man lineups with more floor time together than the Warriors' top unit. Cleveland's top 4 are 457-115-96-61.
The Warriors' top 5: 59-44-33-32. Clearly, there's some mixing and matching going on. Nellie is checking his guys out, in lots of strange variations, with an obvious plan in place for his matchup genius. And he doesn't have one of his 40 MPG guys, Monta Ellis, or another one, Maggette, so the second half figures to settle down a bit. Second half will be more like Ellis-Crawford-Jackson-Maggette-Biedrins 500, etc. I'm sure of it. And we won't make the playoffs but perhaps Nellie can get closer to the Wins Record so we can get our version of the Bonds home run chase fucking over with.

It was a fun December.
5-12 through November, 5-12 in December.
Yup, we're totally improving. Riley says no moves, headlines say Maggette being aggressively shopped.
Mullin to New York to win with D'Antoni.
Good luck to him, he deserves it if he's just a great talent scout now.
Otis Smith has the last laugh, I guess.

Happy New Year! Warriors Still Suck Ass!!!!!
A nice piece on rookie bigmen playing well:
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/story?columnist=thorpe_david&page=Rookies-081230
Really, an article about rookie bigmen even PLAYING would be big news in Warriorland. Richard Hendrix could not be reached for comment as he grabbed 25 boards during the Warriors' pathetic -10 rebound, 107-100 loss at OKC New Year's Eve. But yes indeed, the Warriors are DEAD LAST in rebounding differential for the 1000th year in a row or so, and OKC is indeed an average rebounding team. Anthony Randolph is not the third-ranked rebounder among rookie bigmen behind Oden and Love. No, not at all. Oh. And Hendrix surely would not be able to grab ANY rebounds in the League. No way. There, that ought to shut you Sucker Marco Fanboyz up about rebounding. We don't have the horses! Small Ball is our best option for wins (and defense!)!!!!!
Surely, the Thunder are (is?) an awesome scoring team, right? Because our new Keith DumbassNellieNutMuncher defense let them score 107, our average PA since The Big Handoff. Only the Knicks average more opponents' PPG. Progress. Clear progress. Alas, OKC is the second worst fucking offensive team in the entire fucking league.
Fire them all, starting with ownership.
Maggette and Ellis don't do shit for defense and neither does Smart. I refuse to believe Moncrief is involved in any way but name. Watch him smirk and walk away from the lame huddles around Smart after we give up a 10 point run to a high lottery team. Watch him ignore Stephen Jackson and Marco Belinelli and Stephen Silas at all times. It's obvious, he'll take the first job offer he gets elsewhere. And he'll win. He might not be Popovich, but he'll be hands-down the best head coach Nelson's current shitcan staff produces. And Riley, who drafted Big Country Reeves as his singular executive talent appraisal, is about to remind you all how good Garry St. Jean really was. I guarantee it. This guy is Nellie's Scotch caddy cab fare stooge. That's it.
Fucking idiots.
Anyway, the scientific evidence of Suck:
Warriors PER rankings (AVG NBA player: 15.00)
Biedrins 21.01 (-) 20.95
Wright 19.41 (-) 19.39
Crawford 16.48 (-) 16.16
Kurz 15.81 (+) 15.83 - Two Words: Building Block
Maggette 15.64 (=) 15.64 - See above
Morrow 15.37 (-) 15.27
Watson 14.31 (-) 14.27 - More important than Marco. Deal with it.
Jackson 14.04 (+) 14.13
Azubuike 13.43 (+) 14.01
Belinelli 15.00 (-) 13.68 - Fans are idiots
Randolph 13.07 (=) 13.07
