Pietrus cleared to practice, should return Saturday

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Golden State guard Mickael Pietrus has been cleared by doctors to practice after recovering from left shoulder surgery, and he will probably play Saturday against Memphis.

Pietrus is scheduled to practice at full speed Thursday for the first time since undergoing arthroscopic surgery after he dislocated his shoulder in the Warriors' first summer league game July 12 against San Antonio. </div>

Thank god. We need this kid on the floor as much as possible.

Dunleavy shows flashes and keeps the flow of the ball moving but he hasn't really stepped up this year at all. JRich is a stud. Even though I've ripped Murphy I think he could be worth his deal. He needs to condition himself into better shape, keep shooting those jumpers and then be more aggressive down low. Murphy puts up decent #'s. Dunleavy hasn't, he's been "ehhh". Watch JRich and Murphy's J's, they have good rotation and are crisp. Dunleavy's touch doesn't look very good, his shots that go in are never swishes.

Pietrus is gonna be rusty coming back since he hasn't balled very much but when he gets his touch back get prepared for him to set up those kebawbs.

PS. Mullin may have to drink his own bathwater with the Foyle signing. That guy isn't even starting, time to get the paper bags.

 

All right. I love watching him play. He's just so aggressive. He'll attack the rim, he'll attack the ballhandler, he'll attack the boards. Flat out love the guy.

Yeah I agree with you 100%. He'll put up good numbers though, just not in the way that effects the way the game is played on the offensive end. It's too bad we got such weak perimeter defenders that he has to get into foul trouble all the time. He's just gotta let go of the high energy mentality and learn to pace himself. He's got to set the tone, which he obviously doesn't do. He needs to watch Marcus Camby more and learn from him.

 

I cant wait to see Pietrus back in for defense, but he also may turn this team from a jump shooting team to an attack the rim team. We will not make the playoffs as a jump shooting team...

 

I can't wait to get Pietrus back. Not only b/c of the defense and energy that he brings, but also b/c it will keep Cheaney on the bench.
Pietrus (at less than 100%) >>>>> Cheaney!
I would also like to see how he is progessing offensively. If Dunleavy doesn't pick it up, Pietrus might crack the starting lineup if he plays with the same passion he played with last year.

 

Most definately. I think by benching Foyle, Monty has shown he is not afraid to show someone the bench, no matter how much their contract is worth, or how much people think they should play...

Here! Here! on Chaney never seeing the floor for us again. The guy had 2 fouls in 22 secnds, 4 in 3 minutes. He supposedly is instant offense yet for the past 3 games his first shot into the game was an air-ball. Every game he throws the ball away to the wrong team in panic. I hated his signing, well not as much as the Foyle signing, but thought it was a waste. Jon barry would have been ideal, energy guy who doea play defense and can shoot. Chaney go away. IR or waive him.

Tell me about it. Cheaney makes turnovers at the worst possible time. He didn't have many against the bulls but they were at the worst time and very stupid. CRob threw him an easy light pass and he fumbled it out of bounds, it was embarrasing. What a ruiner.

 

By the way, he is got a brother Pietrus Florent (also member of French Ntl. team) 201cm (6.8 feet) who plays SF/PF in on of top 5 Euro team Unicaja Malaga. GS had to use him, while Mickael had that injury!

 

Its about time that we got him back. We really could use his tough D and solid offence.
On the other hand he is a jerk and im not a fan of him at all.
But whatever helps the Warroirs win :mrgreen:

Why do you say that?

A personal experience from a Warriors game last year. No biggie

 

He's definitely a competitor, maybe you caught him in a bad mood. I get definitely pissed after a loss.

 

Huh, my experiences with Jrich have been nothing but outgoing and pleasant...

Nah, I love J-Rich, he's a good guy. I'm talking about Pietrus.

That's who I thought we were talking about. Pietrus. I think he could be better than Jrich, he's not afraid of handling the ball and he's really quick.

 

Oh, I have never met Pietrus. Maybe its cause he's french...

 

Maybe

 

That might explain it :mrgreen:
