Lin is turning out to be a great free agent acquisition... so far. I would have gambled on him, too, looking at his size, defense, poise and ball handling.

While this is a small sample size, the difference is immense. Last year, DRB% (or total percentage of defensive rebounds pulled down while on the floor) was only 11.4%, far too low for a PF. However, this year, after 8 games, while Udoh's offensive rebounding remains about the same, defensive is up to 18.2%. Per 36 minutes, he's gone from 3.5 DRB to 5.8 DRB. That's much, much better!

Others have pointed out that most bigs don't improve as rebounders over time but remain about the same. Of course, considering Udoh's length, that he started out injured and that he was not well trained last season, we may see an exception.

Former Warrior Baron Davis, according to a news article doesn't have a herniated disk, nor a herniated disc. Yahoo! Sports whites out the typo but gives us the idea.

Being a big Udoh fan, I anticipate him developing his offense against lesser opponents... hopefully. He'll own these guys, I predict!

Negotiations are progressing, apparently, says this Y! Sports article. Hope that's the case. Missing basketball badly!

This will make trading Ellis for a high first-rounder more difficult. It also signifies rebuilding for the Spurs, which is interesting on a couple different levels.

Nice article discussing the tremendously positive impact Jerry West could bring to the Warriors... unless the Warriors botch it by not taking his advice.

Anyone else interested in making a deal? They're looking for solid vets to stabilize the team. David Lee, whom the T-Wolves bid near what we bid for him, Dorell Wright and Monta Ellis all fit the bill for that. I think a three-way deal is in order, personally.

Or is it monumental? Will we be building a monument, should Sloan come here? I thought this article was informative and thought provoking. It lays out our situation and puts things into perspective, as far as signing a new coach.

I'm sure most people would guess it's due to the clothesline at the end of game 2. You guessed right! Obviously, he deserved it. I would rather he get suspended more than 1, but what are you going to do?

Baron's grandmother just passed away. The number he wears is in her honor, as it turns out.

They beat the Heat, lost to us and then beat the Lakers. We're awesome! Anyway, this is also an interesting recap due to the ejections. Odom apparently was not happy with Griffin and Baron, being Baron, decided to shove Odom. Fun stuff.

Article from the Bleacher Report on Brandan Wright and the Warriors. Let's just keep our fingers crossed and hope the organization can figure out how to keep him, should he measure up to high expectations.

Draw your own conclusions; maybe this guy read too much Kawakami or maybe he's spot on? Don't know. But he makes it sound like Nellie was a horrendous coach.

We see Dubs high on this list like Steph Curry and David Lee. A little lower, we see Monta Elllis and lower on the list we find people like former Warriors, Randolph and Morrow.

Biedrins is down in the 80's. Personally, I would consider putting Brandan Wright higher than Andris Biedrins but only by a little. (Personally, I hope they both bounce back and especially hope Wright gets a lot of minutes).

I thought this was a great story of a man who clearly has put serious thought into 9/11 and how important it is to love your country. Good man, I say.

Rosen has some things to say about Stephen Jackson and Carlos Boozer.

Charlie Rosen of Fox Sports says that with Shaq and Duncan in decline, there aren't really great behemoths to take their places. He suggests Howard probably will while Oden and Lopez may get there. Biedrins is discussed a bit, too.

Former Warrior Gilbert Arenas blames, at least in part, the Wizards for botching his comeback from knee surgery.

Looks like France is one of the favorites to be the Eurochamps. Can Tony Parker and our guy Ronnie Turiaf pull it off? Hope so.

Yup, we're on here. Other teams include the Magic, the Grizzlies and a surprise (to me at least) #1.

If you don't love this, you're not a true Warriors fan: Turiaf gets 18/14, while Parker gets 17. Well, I guess you can hate France and love the Warriors at the same time. Maybe you can hate this and still be a fan. Still, Turiaf rocks.

Short article detailing why Jackson makes sense in a Rocket uniform.

The Rockets look like they're not entirely against taking Jackson off our hands. One of them was foolish enough to be willing to give up Battier. Let's hope the F.O. in Houston will be somewhat agreeable!
