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.
