He got the start tonight against the Cavs and the Space Cadet is lighting it up with 9 points already.
Warriors starting lineup is insane tonight. Where is the balance? Ellis-Curry-Morrow-Radman-Moore Nellie's rotations are mind boggling. I guess his vision with this lineup is to launch 3's and hope Mikki can grab any long rebounds off misses?
I really don't want to defend Nellie, but honestly, his options are pretty limited tonight. He's been trying to play Randolph against the bench as much as possible lately and tonight it's important to save the big guys if possible. I probably would have started Maggette (ugh, I can't believe I wrote that) and had Curry come off the bench though. I would tell Maggette it's his prime mission to get their bigs in early foul trouble.
Curry is simply one of the team's best players and he needs to be on the floor. Play him against one of the weaker players, does not have to be the PG; you can go to Parker in the post but he's not going to score 40 and its going to throw off the whole offensive flow.
The W's were limited tonight and they made a nice comeback. On NBA TV they noted the W's played with some energy but asked why Don Nelson didn't "extend the game" by fouling a player. Don Nelson missed an opportunity to show the young players to never give up which is what coaching is all about...
