Warriors slip against Rockets & Denver



Warriors show little fight against playoff caliber teams. These teams can easily post 20 point leads by the third quarter. Don Nelson needs to coach some tough defense. Maybe some good old fashioned wind sprints could light a fire.

Warriors stop losing streak against worst team in basketball


Golden State squeaked by the worst team in basketball avoiding their first double-digit losing streak since March 2002 by beating Oklahoma City Thunder 112-102 at the Ford Center. Golden State played without swingmen Stephan Jackson (sprained left hand) and Corey Maggette (strained right hamstring), and rookie forward Anthony Randolph (sprained left hand).

In the fourth quarter, they missed five layups, turned the ball over seven times and allowed Oklahoma City forward Kevin Durant to get hot (he scored 19 of his 41 in the final period).

Yao Ming season high against skinny Warrior team


The Warriors lost the opener of their trek in Houston on Friday when Yao Ming scored a season-high 33 points to go with 14 rebounds and five assists, as the Rockets used a 43-point fourth quarter to pull away from Golden State, 131-112.

It was the third straight time the defensively-challenged Warriors have given up 130 or more points in a game.

Despite rumors Nelson's not quiting yet on the Warriors


The dismal Warriors have made it through another November with the usual woes. Now Nellie is being critizized for his lack of coaching. Why doesn't Nellie teach his squad how to box out and rebound (we ask)? nevertheless Nelson claims he will fullfill his 3 year deal for 12 million. I wonder how he'll be recruiting. It must be hard to do anything with the franchise player (Monta Ellis) on the sidelines at 23 years of age.
