Here's where I found it:

Here's my response:

Kirk Hinrich, Andres Nocioni and Tyrus Thomas for Monta Ellis, Corey Maggette, Brandan Wright and Ronny Turiaf

 

Okay, so we give up somebody who's potentially a future all star, Mr. Bad Porn, the guy we traded away J-Rich for, and the best cheerleader in the league. So we give up a facillitator who is a threat in the open court. Corey gives us tons of points and turnovers off the bench. B-Wright, everybody has their own opinion about him. And Ronny Turiaf, he's a top-notch defender except when it comes to the King.

Kirk Hinrich, my first guess is that he'll have a clash with Crawford. Andres Nocioni might be able to stretch the defense, but slow much?!?! Tyrus Thomas? Uhh...sure. I don't know. Whatever

What a useless fan post.

Here's your thoughts:

 

 

EDIT: I only spent four minutes writing this post cause I had to go play basketball. Now that I'm back, and I pulled a muscle in my back, I think I have TONS of time to write now.

http://www.nba.com/pistons/news/brown_080804.html

Before you bash me for posting a fanpost about a team that you, the reader, probably don't care about, let me ask you two questions.

1.What good is Kwame Brown to the Detroit Pistons?

2.On a scale of 1-10, 1 being a completely useless move, and 10 being a great move for the team, what would you give them? (please vote)

Personally, I think it's no higher than a four. And you might say that I'm rating it too high by giving them a five.

Why? Let's start with his offensive skills. Like any other 6-11 athlete in the NBA, he can dunk the ball. But what's the problem with him dunking? He can't grip on to the ball! He gets blocked! He misses the dunk! Jumpshot? Hookshot? Post moves? In your dreams, buddy. His offensive skills are fueled by his confidence out on the court and if you haven't noticed, it's missing most of the time.

Defense? You could probably argue with it. He doesn't come up with a lot of blocks or steals, but he comes up with them once in a while. Being 6-11 and 270 pounds has to make you have your presence felt inside the key. He has decent rebounding skills that Detroit could probably use. Other than that, I can't think of anything else.

I think most of you guys reading this will agree that you could probably find somebody with more potential in the D-League. So why would they sign Kwame? Because of experience? Experience isn't enough when you lack motivation and heart. This guy isn't KB24, who is an offensive threat, hard nosed defender, and a gym rat. He's KB54, who is an offensive bust, spends half a season being injured, and gains weight everytime he comes back from an injury.

So why sign Kwame Brown? I wouldn't call this a desperation move, but the Pistons do need a center. Theo Ratliff and Chiek Samb isn't the kind of center that they can use on the court. Rasheed Wallace and Antonio McDyess both play much better as at the 4 spot than the 5 spot. But what they can do is sign better players. Jamal Magloire would probably do them more good than Kwame Brown can do for them. And can you imagine if Kwame was on the Warriors? I think he'd do more damage than good.

And now I have completely ran out of things to say about Kwame.

One last question, is there anybody else besides me that'll be waking up at 5 AM to watch Team USA?

Now that we know the Warriors are no longer in the run for the playoffs, who do you want to win the western conference title now? And who do you want to see eliminated in the first round?

I'll be honest with you, and this might make some of you guys want to ban me from this site, but I'm rooting for the Lakers. I do love the Warriors a lot, and maybe even more than the Lakers. But I grew up watching the Lakers and it's hard for me to stop loving a team I loved since when I was 10 or 11.

Nuggets is the team that I want to see eliminated first. I am not happy with all about Nuggets making the playoffs and the Warriors being eliminated. Ironically, my favorite team to win the West is playing my favorite team to lose in the first round.

Also, I am still against drafting Kevin Love if there's any chance he'll be undrafted by the time it's the Warriors' turn to draft. Why? Because I don't think he can fit into the Warriors system. Maybe Beasley can, but not Love. Feel free to change my mind. I'm open to all thoughts.

I hope he remembers that all of us loved him and damn it, we still do. He's J-Rich. Jordan better treat him right. Did anybody ever noticed he has the same fade Jordan does. His legs are spread. Okay, I've just been blabbering here. So let me get to my point on something everybody wants to say.

THANK YOU J-RICH FOR BRINGING YOUR TALENT TO GSW, YOU'LL BE MISSED!

I wouldn't be surprised if J-Rich popped out some Jordan moves now and then. And I would be surprised if Brendan Wright won two consecutive dunk contest. That would be kinda fun...
so apparantly, having J-Rich leave was a hard thing for mullin to do, but he said it was nessacary. I kinda agree with Stephen A Smith, he's like what the fck about this trade, and so am i.

J-RICH IS TRADED. ITS OFFICIAL. BRENDON WRIGHT FOR J-RICH AND DAVIDSON. DAML;KDFSG;DKLGJ F*CK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, let's be honest. What the hell is mullin and nellie thinking!?!?!?!?! WRIGHT IS NO KG. HE WILL NEVER BE KG. WE'RE SCREWED. We just lost most of our favorite guy in a warriors jersey. omg...dude...just horrible. okay I need to fix something in this. I trust nellie but not mullin. they probably got something planned out but this still sucks.

Recently, in the chronicle, it has been said that Kosta is a candidate from Europe that might be joining the Warriors this year. But there's no guaranteed that he will join the dubbs. There are things that the warriors can benefit from him, but there are things that he lacks. Kosta shoots a high percentage from the floor and he has very good defense. But his range isn't all that impressive, and one thing that Warriors need is rebounding and he wouldn't be able to be the dominant rebounder that we need.

Also, Don Nelson said that he will be expecting more from Patrick O'Bryant next season, and he will be expecting POB to spend much less time in the development league. Is POB worth the time and money to train?

Everybody's talking about trading players, and let's be real now. There are some players that have a higher possibility of being traded than others.

Baron and Monta - Can anybody see these two being traded when it's Don Nelson that's coaching the Warriors? Cause these two fit very well in this type of play.

J-Rich - Okay, here's the part that sucks. We all love J-Rich. How can we not? Two times dunk champ, baby! But it's possible that he might get traded cause he hasn't been playing all that well, and everybody knows its the surgery and injury and everything. But the Stephen Jackson club fight factor reduces the chance of J-Rich being traded.

Stephen Jackson - I doubt anybody will want to make a trade for him until he's all cleared up with the club fight incident, and straightened out everything. Same with Ron Artest. By the way, did anybody buy his album? I downloaded it off of limewire. I have to admit, it's better than Paris Hilton's album.

Al Harington - It's possible. It's possible that if J-Rich is going to be traded, he's also going to be part of the deal. But it's not like he is a horrible player that costs the game.

Andris Biedrins - He's a part of Warriors future along with Monta. Unless we're getting Amare Stoudemire or Dwight Howard, I don't want to see Andris go.

Adonal Foyle - Abso-freaking-lutely ZERO percent. Most of us want him out of the Warriors. But think about how many teams want Adonal. You might as well just clap after he's done reading a story to children at your local library.

#33 - I can't spell his name right. Forgive me. He has a good chance of being traded to a team that fits his style of play better. We all know that he can shoot, but he doesnt have the speed and quickness to play the up tempo game the Warriors play. In my mind, he would average double figures for a team that play half court offense, and where he is not a third string point guard.

Pietrus/Barnes/Azuibuike - Just sign and keep them.

Patrick O'Bryant/Josh Powell - I would love to see them play more, and I doubt that teams would really want them at the moment.

You guys all heard Barkley bark like a crazy bitch. He called us hillbillies earlier. Wait. Hold that thought. He's a hillbilly, check out where he's from. Now he says "Bay Area Sucks". I tell you what sucks. It sucks to me EJ and Kenny Smith. They got to sit next to that fatass every game. Can you imagine Charles Barkley using the bathroom? I wouldn't go in there until Barkley starts kissing ass again. I just finished watching the game, and did anybody see charles getting pied on the big screen? Oh yeah, Charles is short, fat, ugly, and stupid.

Also, Don Nelson have been talking about a six game rotation. What's up with that?

Captain Reviews:

Baron-MVP of the night. Great shooting, great passing, hella aggressive, and good defense going on there. He really does flourish under Nelson's system.

J-Rich - Stepped up during the second half really well, and I'm predicting that he's going to have a big game next game at Dallas.

Okay, now we know that the Miami Heat isn't going to  be repeat champions. Sucks for them right? So what's more painful. Going to the finals but losing it to the Pistons when you have Shaq, Kobe, Payton, and Malone(Lakers)? OR Winning the championships then get knocked out in the first round(Heat)? But I think what's more painful is having your home team miss the playoffs for 13 straight years. But what's really exciting is to see a 13 year playoff drought end. =)

Take a good look at that. You might be saying to yourself, "WTF!?" OR "THANK YOU JESUS!".

Dirk was not himself tonight, 4-16? That's abnormal for him. In my opinion, we did a crap job guarding their guards. We gave Jason Terry a few open shots. Okay, a lot of open shots. Enough about the Mavs, lets go to Warriors evaluation.

Boom Dizzle- MVP of the night! He's the reason Warriors were in the game by the end of the first half.

Monta- Not his night is it? He gave 110%, and it's amazing how he tells us he's not nervous at all. This guy is confident. When you're confident, your shot is going to come. Expect a lot more from him.

J-Rich- Horrible first half, but okay second half.  He's somewhat consistent on the boards for quite a while now. Mad props to his block on Devin Harris, it came just at the right time.

Stephen Jackson- Playa you should be hitting the strip club after this. You hella deserve it.

Al Harrington- he posted up 10 rebounds right?

Matt Barnes- HUSTLER FOR LIFE! Swingman like playing today.

MP2- BETTER SHOT SELECTION. Enough said.

Andris Biedrins- needs more playing time!

Warriors need to crash the board next game. We can't allow 19 offensive boards from the Mavs. Yes their line-up is huge. But guess what that means? We can control the tempo. We didn't do that as well today.

Okay, forgive me for writing this at such a bad time where we lost to the Spurs. Again. But I believe it's probably time to have another starting line-up.

It's not that I do not like Monta Ellis starting at guard or having Harrington at the five spot. I'm saying, the Warriors are beyond having a small line-up.

Lets face it, not everybody can be a bit undersized but still start at center like Ben Wallace (gosh, I love it when I see him throw up an airball at the charity stripe) or Elton Brand. So my point is, start Biedrins once more.

With the small line up, we're much more mobile, are we not? But when teams don't turn the ball over as much, and create difficult half court offense and defense situations, it minimizes our options.

How the hell would Biedrins help in this situation you ask? In my mind, Bidrins is always out there giving it all he got. He hustles on plays and rebounds pretty well. But depending on who hes guarding, he might be undersized. But at the same time, his pick and roll do get the half court pace going and sometimes that pick and roll play turns it into some kind of fast break pace. Although I admit that I have no idea how.

Again, I do not dislike Monta or Harrington. I just think that you might want to change the line up a bit and let Biedrins play a bit more. Okay, a lot more. And Don Nelson have a lot of options on the bench. Mad props to Pietrus and Barnes whether they score a lot or not every game. They hustle.

The last thing we should be doing, anybody should be doing, is go cheap and tank the rest of the season just go get a good pick. Believe me, it doesn't work like that. Not everybody is incredibly lucky like the Cavs when they tanked to get LBJ. In fact, we might have to consider about even drafting anybody. I mean, if we do, would we want to trade them?

THANK YOU NELLIE. A+ for the coach today for keeping his cool. A for Beans going 6-6 fg and 10 boards. Did we not like Jason's game today? Maybe the should've-been-all-star-last-year Jason is back.

First of all, props to Atma Brother One for predicting that the Dubs would win by one. The other  dubs, Wizards I mean.

Thank you very much Don Nelson for kicking our ass into the lost. Don Nelson, take a chill pill once in a while. I cannot blame you for being pissed off when you have a ridiculous call like that when it's almost time for your team to win, but you know better than that.

On the other hand, Jason Richardson had a game where the numbers were what we wanted. 28 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assist, 3 blocks, only 1 turnover. That's the J-Rich we wanted in the All Star game last year. One thing the Warriors might want to focus on is getting J-Rich into the kind of game he had tonight, and getting him open jumpers and isolation plays.

I know it's very unusual to talk about a game that has nothing to do with the Warriors. But, just listen up. Today Lakers visited the Suns, more people watched that game then the Warriors game, yes? You either love Kobe or you hate him. Call him a ball hog, he is, and he has to be one considering his fellow superstars' name are Chris Mihm and Luke Walton. But today they played absolute great defense against the Suns even though it's a lost. This is something the Warriors ABSOLUTELY want to do. Lakers controlled the pace, which the Warriors haven't been able to do. They limited the Suns to 3 fast break points and kept them under 100. They out-rebounded them (oh look, Warriors need that too), by 6. They kept the assist down too by 9. But Warriors, whatever you do, do not turn the ball over like the Lakers do.

Expect me to write about the Warriors off season if we lose the next game, no matter who we play.

We've all seen Mike and Troy been criticize by Warriors fan haven't we? Now I want to see what the Pacers fan think of them. I've tried searching for a Pacers blog but I just can't find one, and indycornrows.com is a lonely place. Seriously, nobody blogs. If anybody can find one, please post a link.

Also, have anybody turned into a Pacers fan as well as a Warriors fan after the Pacers gave us these players and helped us take out the garbage? I know I did.

www.NBADraft.net

Check out the guys going for the draft this year. In my opinion, this draft is going to be a lot more exciting than last year's draft. You have Oden, Durant, Noah, Yi, Brandan and Julian Wright. They're all early draft candidates.

Many people think that Oden and Durant can 20 points during their rookie year. Also, I doubt body can can predict what's going to happen in the first 5 draft picks.

Boston might want to draft Durant if they get the first pick because as of now, Al Jefferson isn't doing that bad. But if some other team gets very lucky and drafts durant, who should they draft? Oden and Noah might be good picks, but they might have to reorganize the whole team.

Memphis-This, you can probably predict. They would most likely pick a power foward, and that means, Brandan Wright.

Philly- They're looking for rebounders.

Charlote- Charlotte is going to have a tough night at the draft. They have to pick a player that suits their type of play. They have to decide which player they're going to bench before the draft if they get who and when. But, I'm thinking it's probably going to be a power foward.

Suns- Because of a trade, they get a early 1st draft pick, and another one later in the 1st round. You think they're going to draft somebody that can run?

Warriors- Please draft somebody that can play multiple positions.

As I said, this year is going to be more exciting that last years. Last year's second round draft pick isn't half as active as the first round drafts. And the first round drafts are not satisfying. This year, the second round draft is filled with offensive players and big time rebounders. Do not, by any means, sleep on them. Quinton Hosley is going to do good, Jermareo Davidson got the sky hook, and Mustafa Shakur is going to lead these rookies in assist if he gets the minutes he deserves. Expect some very good passes from him.

Also, why is Hasheem Thabeet an early draft candidate?

Kelenna Azubuike/Matt Barnes- We can't. We're getting a lot out of them for the money the Warriors  are paying them. If it was another team and they were averaging those numbers, their salary cap would most likely sky rocket.

Andris Biedrins- He's the most active seven footer we got on the roster.

Zarko Cabarkapa- He's injured. Who knows?

Baron Davis- Nellie loves him. He probably has a one out of a million chance of being traded.

Monta Ellis- Please don't give away our future.

Adonal Foyle- I know a lot of us would like us to send away Adonal. But we can't. He's the only player that takes up half the key. Yes, he has a big salary. But he even asked for his contract to be bought out, but the Warriors wouldn't do that. We can't trade him either, cause I doubt anybody wants him right now.

Al Harrington/Stephen Jackson/Sarunas Jasikevicius- We just got them.

Patrick O'Bryant-Give him time. We gave other players time, he deserves it as well.

Mikael Pietrus-We could probably trade him, but I doubt that we'll get anything good out of that trade.

Jason Richardson- The Warriors have already said they have no interest in trading him. And then there's all these people saying that we should be trading him. Come on. He started the season with an injury and he played while he was hurt. Yes, he's not in his star form like last year. But again, you got to give him time. Josh Powell- Oh yeah, we really ripped the Pacers off.

First things first, congrats to the Warriors, they got a win tonight.

http://www.goldenstateofmind.com/story/2007/2/2/14135/94495

That was my last post, and everybody had their own opinion. The dress code doesn't make you dress like a funeral. But sometimes, it's kind of hard to go on airplane rides and bus rides and sleep in a suit. Or when you have a ankle brace on, you got to find a suit that matches it. And some people like Mark Cuban just don't care about it.

What's I'm saying about the suspensions is that it is unfair. David Stern's buddy Stu Jackson and Stu's crew reviews tapes and decides on suspensions. There is no written rules of how many games a player would be suspended for what they did. That means if somebody like Shaq punches Foyle, he might only get a 1 game suspension but if he punches Boykins, he can get something like a  3 game suspension. It's not like leaving the bench and getting a 1 game suspension.

Some people are just saying that Kobe is trying to hurt Manu, and they say that because they hate Kobe, and therefore they think he deserves a suspension. Would you do that if that was Baron or  Richardson doing that. Cause fustration comes naturally and sometimes, David Stern's buddies got to stop handing out suspensions like that, cause you don't know if that really was an accident or not. Go ahead and fine him, I'm all for fining them. They make at least five digits paychecks each game.

Really. I think he is, and he's by far too powerful. What the hell is he handing all the dumbass suspensions for. Kobe gets suspended for that so called "strike at Manu". Dude, he's trying to draw a foul like he did since God knows when. Baron get's suspended for a so called "swipe at Ross" when seriously, it's just a bit of fustration. KG throws the ball at another player and he only gets 1 game suspension. Awesome.

The dress code. Maybe he just wants everybody to dress like him.

Pretty soon he might be forcing all the players to either ride the bus or drive a hybrid. Save the envirorment.

If you guys watch FSBay Final Score, you might have seen Mike Montgomery(forgive me if I spell his name wrong) having some troubles get into the USC and Cal  game. Looks like we're not the only one that doesn't want him in the Golden State.

Also, during the Jazz vs. Hornets game, Carlos Boozer was injured. And apparently, the NBA allows opera pitches to hang around while the opposite team shoots free throws. During the whole game, everytime somebody on the Jazz was shooting free throws , a fan was singing this high-pitch tone in order to distract them. Hopefully when the Warriors visit there, the fan won't be there. She might not be able to distract us while we shoot free throws, but she might give Al Harrington a heart attack and cause Stephen Jackson stay away from the stands forever.

-how many times they screwed up

-how many times the fans booed when they missed a big shot
-how many 3s we missed
-and a lot of other stuff that you can name if you feel like it

good news is that we won, and we forced 20+ turnovers and guess who's gonna be next in the doghouse

First things first, I have to apologize for criticizing Stephen Jackson's rebounding skills in my last diary, and as you know he collected 7 rebounds last night.

Last night was a bad shooting night for the Warriors, and that happens to every team, and it's pretty damn hard to win a game when you're shooting less that 40%. Although it was a lost, the Warriors did show better ball movement than the Cavs last night, and it might have been a lot better if Baron was suspended. Also, tell me when the hell Baron took a swing at Ross? If anybody got it on youtube or something, please send me it. Cause I think David Stern's buddies are just screwing around.

We have new players in, and we have more negativity now. On this site there's comments like  saying Matt Barnes is garbage, Al and Stephen didn't do good, and a load of other crap. Give it some time. It's pretty hard to go from the Pacers' slow pace to the Warriors' running pace. And as a Warriors fan, a trade just makes hopes for playoffs higher and more exciting, unless you're talking about trading away J-Rich.

As of now, my idea of a starting line up would be something like:

G-Baron Davis
G-Stephen Jackson
F-Mikael Pietrus
F-Al Harrington
C-Andris Biedrins

With a line-up like that, it would probably be a good for getting rebounds and driving to the hoop. Although it gives the Warriors an option to shoot the 3, I would like to see the Warriors take it to the hoop more often.

But when J-Rich comes back, I see the line up as something like:

G-Baron Davis
G-Jason Richardson
F-Stephen Jackson
F-Al Harrington
C-Andris Biedrins
Bench:Monta Ellis, Mikael Pietrus, Matt Barnes, Suranas J-(still cant spell it), Kelena Azubuike, Adonal Foyle, Josh Powell

You might have to switch things up with the bench and the starting line-up depending on who they're playing. For example, Nelson had mentioned before that he would use Foyle to guard players like Shaq. Although many of us find this as a very painful choice.

Also, http://www.goldenstateofmind.com/story/2007/1/18/22557/4378
if you have the time and patience, read that.

Let's face, the majority wanted Troy out of Warriors since God knows when. Mike has been playing good off the bench this season and yet it still doesn't cut it. Keith McLeod was our best free throw shooter, great, our best free throw shooter was a bench warmer. Ike had a holy crap lot of talent, and we just wasted him! He's the only player that the Warriors MIGHT regret trading. But to think about that, if Ike play by Nellie's rules. I kind of doubt he will ever play up to everybody's expectations and will never become the star, or even coming close to one.

The disaster now? Is for Al Harrington, Stephen Jackson, that guy, and Josh Powell to adjust to Nellie's system. Josh Powell seems like a great big dump right now, but let's see if we can do what we did with Matt Barnes to him. And here's my opinions about the trade and if it was worth it or not:

Troy for Al- Satisfying at the moment, although Troy does have better rebouding skills than Al. We'll have to see about this one.

Mike for Stephen- For somebody who was 6-9, Mike had handles. Stephen has just as much, don't get me wrong. But both of them lack rebounding. Also, Stephen isn't used to coming off the bench. We'll also have to see about this one.

Ike for that guy- RIPOFF! Forgive me, I cannot spell that guy's name. Ike has better FG%, rebounding, free throw, and foot work. That guy, looks pretty good to be the next one to get a superkick from a Cav and following Dunleavy's footstep.

Keith for Josh- Okay, get the idea. We're talking about Josh Powell, not Josh Howard. And again, we lost our best free throw shooter and he was a bench warmer.

One more thing, we did get was expirience, Al and Stephen isn't at the point where they're about to retire.

Starting Line-up

G:B-Diddy
G:J-Rich
F:Matt Barnes(Turnover Prone) or Mikael Pietrus (Foul!) or Stephen Jackson (REBOUNDING PROBLEMS!)
F:Al Harrington
C:Andris Biedrins
1B:Monta Ellis

and this is the reply i got

I would say that Matt Barnes is at the point in his playing career this season when he knows that he is never going to be a Hall of Fame remembered name on a plaque in the old building of Springfield.  He goes home at least three nights a week and probably eats the dinner of pizza ordered by the dominoes.  He needs to pretend that dominoes isn't the cheapest food to order by telephone and instead have a balanced dinner of salad, chicken, soup, pasta, croutons, milk, juice, water and peanut butter and jelly.

I would guess that Andris Biedrins sometimes spends all day on the EBAY where he looks up Adam Warlock figurines and asks his teammates at practice, "I found the figurine of Adam Warlock.  Do you think I should click the purchase button.  The Adam Warlock is super hero from my country of Latvia.  No, he is not.  I lie to your face, but I am still not sure whether to click button on Adam Warlock.  That Adam Warlock and his Soul gem is sure worth of a click on purchase button.  I think I will click the button when I return home after shooting basketballs.  Did you know the soul gem can eat the soul?  If I had the soul gem I would be too good for the basketball.  I would probably own my own country."  His teammates usually just nod their heads in acceptance of Biedrins's search expedition of the internet for the soul gem.

Zarko Cabarkapa is a nothing to say person because I did not even know there was a Zarko on the Golden State and I did not know that Zarkos exist in the world.  It is surely, a surprise to find something you never knew.  I bet this has happened to Zarko before when he was first the young child.  I bet he liked to watch TeeVee and then one day someone said, "Young Zarko, why do you get up to change the channels when you do not like the program on the screen?"
Zarko did not know the answer to this and the man of questions handed Zarko a rectangle and told Zarko to press the buttons.  Zarko has been happy ever since.

It is simple to think you know the Baron Davis who likes to spin around in a circle before taking shoots and throwing the ball to the teammate who has hands, but Baron is a complex person who will one day hopefully be in a commercial where he says, "Hello, I am the Baron Davis of the National Basketball of America.  When I am stressed and life has got me down I buy auto insurance and when I am really sad I look to get life insurance.  At infinity insurance there is no limit to the number of insurances you can buy.  Sometimes I buy two in one 24 hour span of a day.

As a child, Ike Diogu was the happiest kid in the neighborhood.  Often times the sad people would come over to Ike's house so they could just see the child's happiness.  A lot of times people would come watch Ike eat breakfast cereal out of the bowl.  The captain crunch of cereals is the favorite kind of box for Ike.  Sometimes, when a lot of people showed up Ike would dump the bowl of cereal on his head and laugh.  The laugh of Ike would not stop all day, but the laugh of Ike was not the laugh of the average person that isn't Ike because everyone liked to hear Ike laugh all day.

Mike Dunleavy played in the Duke hoop shorts.  He likes to put them on when he goes to the house he lives in.  Sometimes he will run around pretending to play in a basketball game where the winner gets to go to the moon.  He always wins on a last second shot from half court.  Other times Mike will call Baron and say, "Hey, let's go to Coach's house and fill his car with chickens." They always do.

Monta Ellis is quiet, thinks about how to improve his game, might do a bit of reading, but usually goes into the bed he sleeps in at 15 minutes until 9.

Adonal Foyle spends a lot of time thinking about breakfast, but most of the time that is not spent on the morning food that he eats Adonalgland thinks thoughts about playing with Lebanon James.  If only I could get traded to the Cavaliers then I would finally become a hall of Fame remembered face on a plaque.

Keith McLeod makes me sleepy so I decide to go on the bed and take a nap where I have the following dream, "There are these Origami paper cranes floating in the water at the harbor and someone tells me that it is my job to pick them all up before the hurricane comes.  So I jump in the water with a big trash bag, but when I do all these grizzly bears decide that they want to play ice hockey on the water and turn on the zamboni which starts making ice on the water I'm swimming in."  Anyway, that's all I remember because the dream was woken up out of sleep by water on my face.  Somehow, I am lying in the bathtub of cleaning bodies of the house.

Troy Murphy wants to be a cab driver during summer months so he can drive around eating Popsicles and making comments like, "That player on the Golden State Warrior team of Basketball named Troy isn't very good is he?"  If the passenger agrees with him he can say, "What is the purpose of agreeing with my comments.  Do you not know that I am the Troy I speak of?  I have trapped you and now I will no longer drive this cab anywhere."  Of course, this will lead to people misinterpreting Troy's words and he will have to spend a night in the jail of misinterpretation and will no longer be able to drive the cab.

Patrick O'Bryant always wonders if his name would sound better as Bryant O'Patrick.  He is thinking about making a blog called "Bryant O'Patrick" where he gives legal advice, but hasn't gotten around to it yet.

Mikael Pietrus heard about Patrick's blog idea of thought and decided to start his own blog where he takes pictures of the ground below when they ride the airplane, but Adonalgland never lets him have the window seat and always gets mad at Pietrus when he tries to lean over him.
Jason Richardson sometimes like to sign the autographs for little kids, but he sometimes is angry when an old man asks for his autograph so he'll usually sign those autographs as Michael Richards.  These old men are shocked when they try and sell the autographs on Ebay.

More minutes for Anthony Roberson would not be an answer I know because I do not know because I do not know the correct answers to these questions.  I tried to find the answer on the internet, but there was no website at: www.whatarethecorrectminutesofplayingbasketballforanthonyroberson.com

I do not know the answer of Dajuan Wagner either because the website of:  www.didthe goldenstatewarriorsmaketherightchoicebuyingDajaunWagneroutoftheuniformhewouldhavewornwiththewarriors .com

Incase you haven't noticed, the Warriors are not sucessful. At all. Read the title, I mean that too. What the hell is nelson doing. I mean, take a look at his starting line-up and the line up when it ends. Take a look at the way the Warriors are playing offense now. Almost every time the Warriors play half-court offense, there's four guys either outside the arc, or barely in it, leaving some poor player inside to box out two or more people. This style of play certainly isn't suiting the Warriors' style of play.
