Warriors to Nellie: Stay Away

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 09:32:02 -0500

Don Nelson is in really rough shape these days, and his employer wisely believes it would serve him to stay away from the team for a while: “After suffering two dizzy spells during his return, Golden State Warriors coach Don Nelson has been asked to stay away from the team Friday so his health can be re-evaluated. Nelson returned to the Warriors’ bench for a 111-109 loss to the Houston Rockets on Thursday night after missing the previous five games with pneumonia. Nelson, 69, looked fat...

RECAP: Warriors 109, Rockets 111 - Not Again!

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 04:16:22 -0500

That was a baaaaad call Final Boxscore | Open Thread (1400+ comments) It was a game the Warriors should have won. They were up 10 with 6:20 remaining and then a series of poor offensive possessions led to a 4.5 minute scoring drought in which the Rockets went on a 12-0 run. They did the same thing to the Clippers last night. The Clippers didn't score a bucket in the last 9 minutes of the game until Baron hit a meaningless 3 with seconds remaining. Impressive. The Warrio...

RECAP #16: Warriors 126, Pacers 107 - The Evolution of Monta Ellis, he's getting the superstar calls!

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 14:56:35 -0500

(Monta, while diving for loose balls, makes a plea to the fans to vote for him for this year's all-star game) Monta Ellis is making me eat my words. And it has never tasted so good. I have blasted Ellis time and time again for being a one-dimensional player his first few years in the league: Ellis lacks a left hand. Ellis is a terrible dribbler and passer. Ellis only knows how to drive in straight lines. Ellis doesn't help little old ladie...
