Was Griffin on the cover of the new Madden?


Because he definitely qualifies w/ his busted kneecap.  They say it could could take up to six weeks, but like back injuries, knee injuries can linger for quite some time, thats if they ever go away of course.

Not that I wish injury on anyone....let me rephrase this. Not that I wish injuries on the specifically Griffin or the Clippers, but this definitely hurts the chances of them in the Pacific. Do you guys think,in a screwed up way, this ends up opening up a little for the Dubs?

Not to mention the ROY competition just got a little more like " 3 Fly's Up" 

Here's the link....

Sad for the Clippers that the curse is alive and well.

Steph's Summer League performance

The Anthony's have torn it up during Summer League and I'm def excited to see what they add to the young Dubs squad during the season.  But I think we're all a little underwhelmed by Stephs play during the last few games.  But today, one thing stood out to me that was writtin in a True Hoops story.

At the conclusion of the Warriors/Hornets game, a crowd of kids gathers to try and get an autograph from Morrow. Morrow finishes with media and throws his jersey into the throng of kids, only to have them lunge at it and break the security barricade fighting for it. A younger fan desperately clutches the jersey while another fan struggles to rip it away from him.


While this scene is unfolding, I am interviewing Steph Curry and the two of us stop to watch what's going on. We are both a little unsure of what to do to comfort the boy who is about to cry. Curry then stops the interview, goes over and gives the boy who lost out on the jersey his game-worn shoe.

Now I know this doesn't count for Points/Stats/ Or Wins when it's all said and done. Which is how he'll be measured by us the fans in the long haul.  But in hearing Curry speak to the media and seeing the type of leadership and character he brings to the team. I have to say it's refreshing to feel like we have something that will, in time, develop into what this and every team needs.  Players that care about they fans of the sport, and the people who support them.  Aside from the required "NBA Cares" commercials. 

So though some of you may be disappointed in his debut performance, we should all realize that along w/ the performances that AR and Ammo have put together, Steph's should also be taking w/ a grain of salt. He's young, new and brings a good energy to the squad. 

So I hope that if nothing else, he follows in the line of fan favorite Warriors like JR and Adonal. Guys who give it all because they KNOW we care. 

Here's the link to the rest of it....

Does Amar'e think we're mediocre?


So ESPN recently asked Amare some questions regarding his future w/ the Suns.  I'm not sure how to read the comments, as he spoke about a "mediocre team", and I hope he's not talking about the Dubs.

A different angle perhaps? How about the FA pool?

So we're all buzzing off the the Amar'e possibility.  But seems like that Suns are butt hurt that we got Stephen Curry @ #7 and the deal could be losing it's legs.  No indication the Warriors would go this way, but what if they look to add that "beef" through Free Agency?

It just feels like something big is gonna go down....doesn't it?

With all the rumors swirling from Baron being offered up to us constantly, and the fact that the Warriors are taking some hard looks at swing players, even though we've been stacked at that position for quite a while, do any of you GSoMer's get the feeling that we gonna be picking in the mid-late first round instead?

RealGM:Nellie thinks we're set, Baron offered from Clips...

First off, here's the link...

http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/57381/20090219/warriors_will_stand_pat/#

What do you guys think? With Randolphs recent insert into our rotation after Biendrins went down, I think the kid has shown that he could play? I've been a big proponent of our most recent 1st rounder, and I think with a little smoothing of the edges, we could have something special. 

As for the BD to the Bay article, I'm not sure what it would take.  But if it could comprise of some smalls, and maintain most of our bigs, I don't see why we would do that. Cap allowing of course.  The interesting thing is that the Clips have a surplus of bigs at this point, so I'm not sure they'd be seekin that in return. This could be interesting.

What impact does you believe this will have on the West?

With a current lineup of as follows:

1. Crawford

2.Morrow/Buike

3.Jacks

4.Magg

5.Andris 

This is in my opinion the most "Realistic" liineup for our squad to put on the court as soon as we get Jamal in Uni.  Since Monta's wrapped up and place under our Christmas tree until we can unwrap him in late December(if that early), how do you feel about the new look Dubs? 

In reading Hollinger's analysis on ESPN, this caught my attention and got me thinking....

"So in a nutshell, the Warriors improved their present without severely impacting their future, while the Knicks improved their future without severely impacting their present. All the attention will be on the latter aspect because of the implications for the Great LeBron Sweepstakes. But don't underestimate the former -- the path to a spot in the West's top eight just got measurably tougher, so fans in places like Dallas and Denver should care about this trade just as much as those in Cleveland."

When Monta comes home and we get to put a squad consisting of 4, YES...count'em....4.....20 PPG Scoreres, how well are our chances of seeing the playoffs this year?

I'm starting to like this deal more and more the day goes on!!!!

What do you guys think?

Let the trade talks begin....Reported Al for Curry trade.

Real GM says that Donnie Walsh is once again lookin to pick up Al Harrington to play in D'Antoni's system. Looks like the Knicks wanna give up Curry, but the spurs want to get in on the deal and have Curry go their way, so they might give up a piece to the Warriors...but who?

The Dubs want David Lee, straight up.

This sounds feasible for us, hope to see something develop sooner rather than later.  What do you guys think?

This goes out to all the GSoM Ladies...maybe some of you guys too!

Saw an interesting post on Real GM, thought some of you may like it, and to tell you the truth, I hope I never see these guys like this again this season, cuz it'll be on the sideline next to Monta during game time. LOL..

Tony, you might enjoy some of these too as it's a look we don't see to often. Maybe you could go a little Good Fellas with these pics, or some GQ type stuff...haha.

Warriors Talking about Tinsley w/ Pacers....

Well, to be honest, I thought the Pacers were done talking with the Warriors for a  while after our last trade...And it's funny they're lookin to at Al back. But I think this does help both teams, Tinsley is a problem in Indiana, much like Jackson became, I can only hope if this were to come to terms, he would have the same resurrection Jackson had when heading to the Town.

What do you guys think about this one...Tinsley is a good point when healthy, and not a distraction, but is he worth it?

Link..

http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/54291/20080905/warriors_and_pacers_talking_about_tinsley/

 

EDIT: In addition, it says the Pacers would be trying to include Daniels, and the W's would have to include another 2 Mil worth.  After using the Trade Checker,  Al + Kosta for Tinsley and Daniels would work.  But do we want another surplus of Guards again?  Al is one of the only shooting(streaky of course) bigs that we have, Nelly revolves alot of his system around this type of player, though Al hasn't panned out as well, can we afford to let him go?
