    Hometown boy returns to Oakland. From SF Chronicle. I was unaware of the friendship between Dame & Jarrett Jack.

    It will be tough, but one thing keeping me hopeful is that even though the Warriors are playing well, the players they have are not the same players that have killed us in the past. (except Landry) In particular no Magette or Monte Ellis.

    But they do have a great crowd. Lots of energy in this building. I have not been there since the 80's but it looks to be the same.

    Just stopped for gas. On my way. We're a horrible team. We'll lose by 20-30 points. Lillard will shoot 3-19.

    I've wanted him back for a couple years and everyone always said no. Nik- do you still think we're only winning 30 games this year?

    Haven't seen Hickson this year but I'd disagree. On paper I can see why you would think that, but while Ezeli leaves much to be desired as far as producing stats, he neutralizes his match up damn well. Al Jefferson gave him some fits with the patience and array of fakes inside, but hes actually quite sound defensively for a rookie and athletically he can keep up with pretty much anyone. Hes strong as fugg, not insanely explosive but pretty good for a guy of his weight, pretty damn quick on his feet for a guy that big. I think of Hickson as a guy who will challenge without hesitation and rely on his athleticism- Ezeli will have no problem handling that. Its the more patient guys who are deft in drawing fouls who give him trouble. Has that become a part of Hickson's game?

    But it should be noted that Ezeli really doesn't play all that much. Biedrins has been playing well lately so hes eaten some minutes. But against teams that don't have big centers MJax prefers to go smaller. MJ will probably cross match Ezeli on Aldridge and unless Ezeli is having success the matchup we'll be seeing a lot more is Landry/Lee vs. LA/Hickson.


    Weird reading about him doing the same stuff I did at the same age (I didn't grow up in Oakland and my mom got me a real basketball hoop when I was a kid though lol). We were born two months apart, didn't realize he was such a big Warriors fan.
