Wow. I just started watching the 2nd half. Keith Smart is coaching because Don Nelson took a back seat for coaching tonight. Smart had a L-OOOOOOOO-NG lineup in there and the Warriors were dominating the Sixers inside. Brandan Wright has been giving the Sixers trouble inside on offense. 25 pts so far. PG: Monta SG: Jax SF: Buke PF: BWright C: Turiaf Morrow off the bench.
Morrow's automatic if he can square up and is open. It turns out Nelson is coaching, but on the offense and he may have put Maggette in. Once Mags was in, the Sixers cut the near twenty point lead in half. I think Smart put Buke back in and now the Warriors are piling on the lead again.
Bwright, Turiaf, Morrow, Azu, Monta looked awesome together. I thought they were one of the best units on the floor. There were several plays where Turiaf was the setup man and he got several direct assists as well as "hockey assists". He's just basketball smart and completely unselfish, but he's also aggressive on defense. Wright is going to learn a lot from him. Looks like a better fit than most other lineups we've had. Maggette and CJ played pretty nice.
So does this mean that Nellie is thinking about hanging it up? When he did this for Avery Johnson, he resigned after a while. Maybe Smart will be head coach sooner then we think?
