So the more consistent playing time Anthony Morrow gets, the more I love this kid. Same goes for Marco Belinelli, before he got injured he was playing well on both sides of the court. So the question is, would you guys rather have Anthony Morrow or Marco Belinelli? The Warriors back court is unbelievably crowded and it doesn't seem possible for Marco and Anthony to get solid minutes while they are both on the roster. I know their games are not exactly identical, morrow being a better shooter vs Marco's play making ability.

Here's the packed back court:

Monta Ellis

Jamal Crawford

CJ Watson

Anthony Morrow

Marco Belinelli

Marcus Williams

Bottom line is the Warriors have too many players on their roster 6-foot-6 or under and getting minutes for both those guys is not realistic. And you get the sense if Warriors coach Don Nelson goes with one guy one night and the other guy the next night, that won't be good for anybody.

All in all, Morrow and Belinelli are too similar, at least insofar as the Warriors are currently constructed. Morrow is a better shooter, and Belinelli is a better playmaker, but they both can have a similar type impact on the game when they've got it going.

So what do you guys think!?

Hey fellow warrior fans, I just noticed on Marcus Thompson's Warrior Blog that he is going to have a Live Chat with Jamal Crawford and he's going to answer some of our questions! Link It'd be nice to have some folks representing GSOM! ya dig?!!

 

Thursday at 12:45 p.m., after the Warriors’ practice, Warriors guard Jamal Crawford will be here to chat with you. Come with questions. From what I know about Crawford so far, he’ll definitely have answers.

Over at Hoopsworld I found this short little trade rumor about Al Harrington for Ben Gordon written by Bill Ingram.

This one actually has an outside chance of happening. The reason is pretty obvious, as the Warriors need some help now that Monta Ellis is out, and Gordon is as good an option at the point as Ellis would have been. And Gordon can certainly run and gun the way Don Nelson likes his teams to do. On the Chicago side, not only do they solve a major headache by getting rid of Gordon, they also clear up some of their log jam in the back court and acquire someone who can really push this team to the next level in Harrington.

 

so what do you guys think of this trade rumor? could ben gordon be the PG that the warriors need to fill in for monta's injury, or more importantly how would this move pan out for the future?

Hey guys i found this article on ESPN page 2 that i thought was pretty cool. it just argues why stephen jackson makes a great captain. if someone already posted this, feel free to delete this.

...But Nellie's really onto something by naming Stephen Jackson as a team captain.

That's right. Pass the Guinness 'pon the left-hand side, because this is brilliant. Yes, Jackson's run afoul of the law. Yes, he didn't become a household name until he laid out a row of Pistons fans three years ago. But when you get right down to the nitty-gritty, you'll see that there is no better candidate to be a captain of the Golden State Warriors.

i just came across this on espn.com

"I really want to finish my career in Sacramento because of my relationship with some of the players," Artest said, according to the Post. "I want to finish with Sacramento. I feel attached to Sacramento. I want to be their franchise player."

the link is

damn, i was looking forward to having action jackson and artest on the same team, but it looks like he wants to stay put.

i was unable to attend the game tonight cuz im down in sd for college, but man i could hear you guys from all the way down here. the crowd was electric and you guys just fueled the energry which lead to the massacre of the mavericks. bill walton couldn't stop talking about how great the warriors fans were and how the fans were always standing up supporting their team. the yellow shirts looked great and with every made basket the crowd looked thunderous and so alive. just wanted to give all you guys that went out to the game some props. warriors looked unstoppable tonight with the home crowd tonight and the mavs are going to run into some trouble on sunday. what did charles barkley say again? we wouldnt win another game this whole series? damn chuck, you just got owned.

I'm not sure if any of you guys saw the post game conference video they have on www.nba.com but i thought it baron and jrich handled themselves really well at the press conference. Those 2 guys are some down to earth dudes and they never got cocky during any part of the interview, staying really humble and cool. I thought it was really funny when baron was asked about his eye 'could you see out of it?' and he said "not during the game i just shot with one eye, coach told me to...coach hoped that me getting hit in the eye will help me with my shot cuz i was shooting too well" i also that it was funny that dirk said the warriors are a confident bunch and if they make a shot they run around like mad men. its called team spirit dirk! something the mavs are lacking right now! anyways boomdizzle and jrich cool cats along with the rest of the dubs.

hey guys, espn's daily poll today is "can the golden state warriors pull off the upset of the dallas mavericks" lets get everybody to go vote for our warriors. Right now the poll is at 36% yes and 64% no. Right now all the experts are also picking the mavs to win it in 5 or 6, so lets show some love and support to help our underdog warriors pull off one of the best upsets ever.
