No way this team is tanking games. They are losing because of injuries, new players in the line up, new players in different positions, new guys on the team screwing up the chemisty, etc.

But, if you saw the game there was no reason for Dunleavy to be guarding JWill and Cardinal to be defending Posey on the perimeter. That's an emuss roster goof. The warriors could have won it if the substitutions were timed right and they subbed the right guys in to maintain the lead they had at half time. But who is to say Memphis is a good team and the Warriors have just not held together late in the game all season. I wonder why. The team is good enough.

Does anybody know who was responsible for getting Rusty Larue? This guy can't be a pick of Musselman's. That's the other thing I can't fault Musselman for. Maybe Emuss is protesting the guys who aren't giving him the players he needs and wants by coming up with his ineffectual lineups.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Rudeezy:</div><div class="quote_post">I didn't see the game but I agree, horrible match ups.</div> Yeah the Warriors don't make the most use out of Dampier or any centerless team in the NBA. I'd actually think about putting in A.J. just to move the ball quicker to Dampier and get Dunleavy, Cliff or Pietrus open for an outside shot. The biggest problem has been getting to the line and I know JRich has been trying to do that with his constant driving toward the basket, which is good But unfortunately he's playing out of his game sometimes and loses the ball to good defenders. This is pergatory right now. You win you are happy, but you might go down a rank on the draft lottery position. You lose, you are unhappy because you might have seen a big lead in the game that showed that you could have won if you stuck to the plan and made the right adjustments. All I know is I want to see Eric Musselman succeed as a long term option as coach and he is just been so bad at times. We can't be coach switching constantly. We have to develop some kind of senior coach that can attract players with respect and get those important free agents.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting custodianrules2:</div><div class="quote_post">Does anybody know who was responsible for getting Rusty Larue?</div> My thoughts exactly. After watching the game, he's just way too slow to guard anyone. They should have just put in Avery.
Well everyone can sense that St. Jean and Musselman don't see eye to eye. Maybe the management did it so that Muss was forced to put Dunleavy at point. Who knows. We all know that St. Jean is an idiot. Maybe its contagious like in that Toronto game where Damp got yanked by Muss after he scored the only 2 points in that quarter. That will be Muss' finest moment this year, much like how Jose Cruz dropped that one easy fly ball to help eliminate the Giants from the postseason against the Marlins.
