To close out the evening, Coach Nelson used one of the oldest forms of motivation as he had the night before. He walked up and down the baseline, looking into the faces of each of his tired players and, methodically, picked different guys out and asked them to step to the foul line. The task was simple: make the free throws and you returned to the baseline; miss the free throw and the entire team runs. Needless to say, not many missed, which is a refreshing sign for many Warrior fans. He did, however, continue to rib and motivate Baron Davis, who missed his initial free throw and subsequently watched three other point guards ? Keith McLeod, Andre Owens and Dajuan Wager ? make their shots from the charity stripe. Nellie?s comment to BD ? ?I guess you?re my fourth string point guard now; I?ll probably only use you when the rest of them foul out!? That elicited a chuckle from everyone. _____________________________________________ Nelson got jokes... I cant wait to go to the open practice on Mon!
Thats just what this team needs, Baron Davis on the fourth team. lol This is a common practice drill.

This is what I have been saying since last year! I am glad Nelson has the balls to not only pull out something like this and not be afraid he would be ridiculed by it, but then he brazenly challenged BD to his FACE! NICE!
I wonder how frustrated Baron will get when Nelson pushes and pushes. I don't know if Baron can handle it. He might go Stevie Francis on us.
