Posted November 18, 2008 at 1:38 amGiven the ups and downs of this early season, it’s easy to forget what we were going through a year ago. Baron Davis was fresh off a restful summer and kicking off a contract year. Most Improved Monta Ellis was moped-free. Don Nelson had shocked the world a few months earlier, collected a fresh contract, [...]

Pete Newell. (Fear The Beard)
Posted November 17, 2008 at 11:20 pmIn 1959, Pete Newell coached the California Golden Bears to their only NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship, beating the Jerry West-led West Virginia squad in the final. While beating “the logo” and taking home the big trophy is generally regarded as his greatest achievement around Berkeley, there was much more to the man than this “one [...]

Posted November 16, 2008 at 10:59 pmThe most amazing part about Anthony Morrow’s performance Saturday was that it wasn’t that amazing. Sounds like a contradiction, right? But check out these numbers stats:
*Of his 15 made baskets, only four was from the 3-point line
*He only had three points from the free throw line, one on a three-point play
*He took no more than [...]

Posted November 15, 2008 at 4:28 pmWow.
The Warriors went south to revisit the past. Instead, they found a piece of the future. Baron Davis reminded us all just how bad his shot selection can be and how all that swagger does not necessarily earn you wins. I’m grateful for the thrilling basketball he gave us for a few years, can understand [...]

Posted November 13, 2008 at 11:29 pmCorey Maggette’s return wasn’t enough to overcome — how do I put this nicely — CJ Watson’s inability to dribble or inbound the basketball. In fairness to CJ, there were plenty of other mistakes behind the Warriors’ Thursday night 107-102 loss to the Pistons. Start the disection below in the comments and I’ll join in [...]

Posted November 12, 2008 at 1:50 amThe Warriors got a win on Tuesday when they very much needed one. For a team already struggling to hang onto the fringes of the respectability, losses to the Wolves, the Kings and the Griz (twice!) would have been hard on the early season psyche. But the Warriors found a way to gut out a [...]

Posted November 11, 2008 at 12:11 amThe state of the franchise is strong, at least if you’re Don Nelson.
As controversy has swirled around the Warriors’ organization, there has been an effort by fans and media to carve up the franchise into various factions squaring off against each other. That’s fair to some degree, since everyone can likely see the writing on [...]

Posted November 10, 2008 at 8:43 pmAfter practice, President Rowell got “ambushed” by us media types. Here is the result. Let me know what you think of his answers.
What was behind the Pete D’Alessandro firing? (I’m assuming this was the question. I couldn’t hear)
It was a move that was made. It’s personnel move and really I don’t discuss those. I don’t [...]

Posted November 9, 2008 at 10:13 pmGone are the days when the excitement in Warriors games came from challenging the best of the NBA. Today, those still tuning in for Warriors basketball do so for more subtle pleasures. Want to see a winning basketball team? Look elsewhere, at least for now. Want to see what happens when rookies, sophomores, walk-ons, and [...]
