I do. He's great. Great player, great individual, great champion -- Mullin just ruined this franchise by letting him slip away. This will be worse than losing Arenas. In a few years, all the highschool thugs are going to be pimpin' the latest Duns -- calf-high rain-boot type sneakers with flashing neon lights and pink fur lining.
In the words of Will Smith (in almost every action movie he's done), "Aww, Hellll nooooo." There's lot of smart, well coached, unselfish players in the league to be had with better aggressiveness and a guard skillset. The problem is finding those players with any consistency.
I still can't believe it's real. Someone please tell me I'm not dreaming. I just have the awful feeling every Warriors game I watch that he's still there, hiding behind someone on the bench, ready to come in lay the brickwork on us.
Yeah it seems like since the trade one of the new guys have gone off for 29 points every game instead of once every 29 games...
Nope! Don't miss him at all. I'm sure he will be a better player for the Pacers then he was for the Warriors. Expectations of him will be much lower and he will be playing in the weaker eastern conference, so his numbers should vastly improve. If not then it would not be a surprise for us warrior fans.

Dunleavy is pretty much doing what he had been and Murphy is averaging a double double like he had been last year. Ike is still struggling to find minutes and McLeod is not seeing a minute of game time like he was here. All the same... The big difference was here Al is averaging 24ppg with no rebounds Jackson is averaging about 19ppg with a low % Powell had 1 breakout game last night, but other wise has not seen much time Same with Sarunas Pacers 3-1 since the trade with their one loss by 2pts to bulls on the first game of the trade, and the Warriors are 2-2 with Baron out 1 game and lost him for the last 4-5 minutes of the other loss where we blew a 19pt lead.
I wonder how many fans actually miss Dunleavy. And, it's bit hard to imagine why Pacers made that trade. Sure, Jackson's stock might be as bad or even worse than Murphy or Dunleavy, but did Pacers ever bother to see their contract situations? Maybe, they didn't like what Harrington is doing, and remembered that Mullin chased Harrington very hard. But did they fail to check single Warriors game prior to the trade? Maybe, they think Murphy will resume double-double in most systems, which isn't necessary false, Dunleavy is finally having a break out year, and got themselves a massive steal in Diogu, but... Ah well, I guess it's no longer our problem...

Now thats just sad.

I don't blame them -- he was nearly leading the league in 3pt% and getting paid a modest mid-level deal. I think Harrington was the "casulty" in shedding Jackson. Kind of how Diogu was our casulty in shedding Dunmurphy. Man the Warriors got such the better end of the deal. Blah for the Pacers.
Hee hee. Bill the Cat started with Bloom County and I think he's on Outland and Opus comic strips now with cartoonist Berkeley Breathed.
Watched a little of the Pacers on Sunday night (?) and sadly I do not miss Dunleavy's passive game. He actually made the first bucket with a dunk off a screen, then reverted back to what we've seen the past 4 years. Too bad, he is what he is. If only Harrington would hustle for rebounds.

Poor Murph.
