<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> <div class="bi">Reserves Likely To Stay On Bench</div> <div> <span style="font-style: italic">Nov 12</span> - Marco Belinelli, Brandan Wright and Stephane Lasme have combined for 53 minutes this season, with 49 of those belonging to Belinelli. Wright made a four-minute appearance against Cleveland, Lasme subbed for four seconds against the Mavericks and Kosta Perovic has yet to crack the active roster.</p> </p> If Belinelli and Wright get extended minutes this season, it could be a bad sign for the Warriors. Coach Don Nelson, long saddled with a reputation for not playing rookies - especially rookie big men - reiterated Sunday that he will ride his experienced players for any turnaround of fortunes.</p> </p> "I haven't been successful, but I'm going to continue along that line," said Nelson, before adding a caveat: "There will be a point if things aren't going well, that I'll be playing those young guys more. It's common sense ... if we don't get the ship turned around." -- <font color="#000000">San Francisco Chronicle</font></p></div></div>
I consider myself a diehard warrior fan, but this is not what I wanted to see... I wanted to see some big guys start playing and more all around players like Sjax and Bellinelli thrown into the mix. We've been playing so weak inside and playing away from the basket, we might as well put some shooters and some guys who can put our misses back in the hoop.</p>
It doesn't help to play kids that aren't physically ready to play. I wish we had Nelly when we drafted Dunleavy. Let's see what this team can do once there's a complete roster together. The kids should be ready to get some minutes after the all-star break.</p>
