Yikes, this game should be fun to watch. I feel bad for Randolph, the pressure is really going to be on him to avoid fouls, which really kind of takes away he best part of his game. And Maggette will be playing out of position too. Should mean lots of PT for everyone though. 240 minutes divided by 7 players is an average of 34 minutes each.
Damn, I guess the injury curse is still going strong this year. I know injuries are not the reason or excuse the team sucks, but you can never assess a team's full potential (Yes, I know...) without a full roster. Wish speedy recoveries to both.
Just read that Raja Bell is an emergency player for tonight's game and that he's going to have surgery on his wrist. So basically, that Sjax trade is nothing but a salary dump. Our team is going to suck so bad this season. Get ready for a very long ride, fellas. At least the weather has been great lately.
Well if Monta is gone we better land a great draft pick because we need someone who can score at will.
Wonderful, another guy who won't fit with Ellis or Curry. I really hope there's another Blake Griffin that emerges in this draft class, although then the Warriors will pick right after someone else takes him.
For big men, both Derrick Favors and Ed Davis are top-tier, hyper-athletic big men, in the huge dunker/shotblocker mold. For wing players, since we actually might need more depth next season, there's plenty of good ones that should be available all the way to the lower lottery if enough players declare, I'm a huge Evan Turner fan, Paul George has potential, and there's probably more although there's a few highly-hyped guys that I don't like in the mix as well.
It's more optimistic than talking about the current situation. I actually started talking about it before the season though, cuz I'm just a draft nut, although it was partly also because of how bad our financial situation was, and again.. need optimism!
I was surprised to see that Raja Bell had a line. Ok, so he could play if the Warriors were a playoff team, but he knows that he's a Warrior so he opts for surgery. LOL.
It IS a little early to be talking draft, but it's probably never too early with the Warriors. Maybe I'll start watching more college games because of it. Yet, I'm still optimistic that Don Nelson will get fired this season and Keith Smart will end up being the coach .
