we didnt have either of our centers


shooting 30% doesnt help either. nelson sucks, he could have tried to contain the massacre but sat there like the bastard he is.

we still have potential to be a playoff team. the west isnt as strong this year.

or we could win 20 something games. potential is there for both.
its early but whatever...

the jazz and spurs as of right now are the weakest teams and both are way better teams than the warriors

the weakest west teams in the top 8 are:
rockets
blazers
jazz

then these teams have potential to flop, especially if 1 of their guys gets hurt:
mavs
suns
spurs


its still very early, the suns wont last stay in first with lakers and the spurs prolly wont stay in last.

we have potential to make it OR flop and win 20 somethin games this year

First things first. Fire Rowell. We need to make "We Believe In Firing Rowell" shirts and hand them out at the game. Dude doesnt know dick about basketball and why the hell were fans booing Baron Davis at the game. He wanted to stay. It wasnt his fault it was our FO.

Not trying come in like a smart ass but that can happen to many of the top teams in the league...... If Kobe is injured Lakers can potentially flop, If Lebron is injured Cavs can potentially flop, If Howard is injured Magic potentially can flop, If Chris Paul is injured Hornets potientially can flop, etc..... so on and so on. Then again those are the stars for their respective teams!

Spurs and Mavs aint flopping, you can forget about that. The W's are not making the playoffs this year and you blame that on the fact the W's never improved there weaknesses after losing to the Jazz in the playoffs. It doesnt take a genius to realize the W's needed some size and guess what i guess the W's organization are run by a bunch of idiots.

the warriors in the west, so i was only talking about west teams. and i wasnt only talking about if someone got injured, they have potential to flop without an injury.

and the hornets are already flopped. they look worse than us.

we did get size but they are still run by idiots

turiaf
randolph
moore

turiaf was the best signing ever for us, randolph was a great pick that i feel lucky to get. and moore is a sleeper signing, he wont wow anybody but he plays hard, is active, and can at least eat some fouls. if b wright wasnt hurt we'd really have depth at the forward position.

and thats a keyword, depth. we are a deep team. if we had a somewhat decent even average coach we could be a force. we are deeper than most teams even if we dont have as many bonafied superstars, we have stars in the making. with a proper coach to get them on the same page making the right subs at the right time we could be a playoff team.

i dont see it happening with nelson. sell cohan, fire nelson, fire rowell.

people putting way too much blame on Nelson

coaching in the NBA doesn't make a difference like it does in the NFL

our team is too young and too small, and not physical enough... I could just see it in that game against the Clippers

if we're not running up and down the court scoring quick points we're not winning... straight up

fire Nelson... and who do you wanna hire as a coach? he gets way too much blame for the Warriors failing if you ask me

I don't agree with everything he does... but he is about to be the winningest coach in NBA history

The players dont like playing out of position constantly, and dont like the feeling of starting 10 games in a row, then being benched the next 15. That, and small ball has never won shit and this team aint the first one that is going to make noise with that system. Thats why I hate Nellie. Also, hes gone next year or the year after that, so you know the team is gonna have to 'start all over again' with someone else anyway which sucks bc you need continuity

wrong. he is gonna be the coach with the most wins. big fucking difference.

most wins because he coached for longer than anyone, 30+ years.

and how many finals appearances?

The players dont like playing out of position constantly, and dont like the feeling of starting 10 games in a row, then being benched the next 15. That, and small ball has never won shit and this team aint the first one that is going to make noise with that system.

and even if we started to win games, nelson would ruin that by playing guys 40 minutes a game so that they get burnt out and fall off. even if we have a 20 point lead, he would leave his starters out there to die.



i know this isnt the NFL Meta, where coaching is king. but it still matters, just in a different way. instead of scheme its about time and controlling runs and getting the team to play together. its about stopping runs and going on runs of our own. its more about managing the minutes players get, calling timeouts at the right time, and emphasizing the right thing during those timeouts.

coaching is also about getting along with ur players, something that is true in all sports. if the players dont like playing for u, u wont get the best out of them.

yeah... I just don't think the Warriors would be that much better with a new coach

but I do agree that it sucks having Nellie now, because as soon as he leaves in a couple years, or whenever he leaves... we're gonna have to start all over again... well maybe we will, it depends on how well he can develop the players and who we have as our next coach

I dont think this team is built well to play small ball in the first place, other than the fact the W's by average are the shortest and lightest time in the league.
The other night during Nelson's press conference he said something along the lines of "We will probally get out rebounded most nights, but if we play well in other areas we can win". Well he is right, but the problem is this current roster cant play well enough in the other areas to win consistantly. In order for small ball to work properly the team needs more good ball handlers/passers and consistant shooters with range(everything Maggette is not).
The W's are also severely lacking leadership on the court.

Key line, in my opinion: "The W's are also lacking leadership on the court." I cannot agree with this more as well. You can thank Stephen Jackson for shitting on the season before it even started. Monta aint no leader, either. When I watch this team all I see is ME, ME and ME. Jack used to keep them together when he gave a shit, now we're fucked. Not only do we suck, we have no chemistry, which in my opinion is the worst.

I feel bad for Curry. He needs to be in a system where he can flourish. I feel like the W's are becoming the fucking Raiders - where talent goes to die
