This is Monta Ellis, one of the best guards in the world, who provided the Golden State Warriors with 20, 5 and 4 , along with a 53% (!) shooting percentage and a steal and a half a game in 2007-08. He also gave the team the sense that they really were on a different path, in that five years ago when a second round pick paid off like gangbusters, they watched it walk away to Washington and become Gilbert Arenas.He's also going to miss the next three months with a high ankle sprain. I should say, at least the next three months. The Warriors will also be without Baron Davis, of course.So they're going to go to battle next year with a roster that counts Stephen Jackson as its best player, the defensive sieve that is ex-Clipper Corey Maggette, and back ups where they had stars. Add it up, and you can start the clock on Don Nelson making real the ever-present retirement threat... and the Warriors going back to their comfortable cocoon back at the bottom of the West. Oh well. It w...

Without Ellis and the departure of Baron Davis, the Warriors will have their work cut out for them especially in the back court.

Ellis Out At Least 3 Months After Injuring Ankle In Pick-Up Game
Remember when you were a kid, and you messed up and then had to tell your dad? Especially when you got hurt doing something you knew you weren't supposed to be doing? No matter what kind of pain you were in the fear of calling your dad, or waiting for him to get home from work, was far worse than pain from any injury. I have the feeling Golden State Warriors point guard Monta...

Okay, I guess he kind of has to after basically being injured and proceeding to play in the Olympics. According to the AP via Yahoo, it sounds like he'll need the same kind of surgery that Monta Ellis already had. I guess we'll have to wait for an official prognosis before we adjust the Big Board (where he is currently ranked at 22.50) again. I can't see him dropping...
