You guys ever notice that the Warriors run some great out of bounds plays whether its backdoor plays or running a little stack offense? Now just imagine if they could execute this well without having to inbound the ball. What this says to me is that the point guard isn't serving as an "extension of the coach" very well each time down the floor AND that when a timeout is called, the coach can finally get his players to do what he wants them to do (execute and get organized). I always said the point guard and the center position is the most important pieces of a franchise, but yet we have probably the weakest positions filled in the entire Western Conference. The fact we have the slowest guy at the quick position and the smaller, uncoordinated, weaker/slower guy at the center position. On top of that, small forward depth is lackluster (no Brian Cardinals or Cheaney hitting decent %'s when wide open). Plus, if our point guards aren't running plays and feel obligated to pick up the scoring load because others can't contribute, that just hurts the team. The shooting guards, small forwards, and power positions should be in charge of that, not the point guard. A point guard has to score and produce numbers within the flow. If we could just get enough scoring, ballhandling, passing at other positions, the point guard could just concentrate on passing. He wouldn't need to force double teams because other guys can't create their own shots. He would need to instruct the other guys what to do when they don't have the ball. Get them to move.
Just saw the Denver game. Warriors are just so freakin dumb sometimes. I'm no longer angered by them because I pretty much don't expect much from this team. Also Diogu... Love the guy's inside game, but he's got to find a way to get his team involved sort of like how Elton Brand or Shaq do it with outside shooters. Maybe he could also imitate Brad Miller or Vlade Divac from the high post. Hopefully, we're looking at a future starting power forward that has a true inside/outside game as well as the ability to get 3 assists a night from the inside out and the outside in. If he's got that capability, then we need guys who can shoot a decent wide open jumper, off the tach, and dribbling it in a little. There's nothing worse than 3-point shooters who can't hit the open trey, but they hit the 20 footer perfectly fine.
Ref's have some beef on Diogu, dunno what Diogu did to them or their families but they seem to hate him. A-holes. Also the game went downhill when Bynum was benched and Fisher manned the ball. AND, the last play got me frustrated because of their stupidity. If they got a good shot off in the plenty of time they had then fine. But no, they acted like 5th graders in the final 5 seconds.
yeah i saw the nuggets game too..though there was one good out of bounds play there was also a dumb one, done by fisher. what an idiot..almost got a 5 seconds call on him and yet instead of calling a time out he just throws it into one of the nuggets like a moron..and i dont understand why he took the last shot and yet he was fading away from the basket behind the 3 point line!! i'm going to the last home game this season and i hope thats the last time i see fish in a warrior uni
