I've always rooted for them to do well since the days of Run TMC, and the C-Webb days. It's nice to see them rolling, especially given that our in state product Draymond Green is getting playing time and recognition. I wish we would have snagged him in the draft. They're looking like a playoff team already, although it's early this YOUNG team wins on the road which is important. Their young guys get PT and contribute while learning from their mistakes, and they have a good coach who played the game at the most cerebral position as a long time PG in the league. They shipped out a potential star for another potential star who has yet to really contribute this season and they are still playing winning basketball! It took awhile for the Warriors to get back on track so they have some very nice assets and a competitive team. So as of now, they are further along in the rebuilding process than we are and they're sitting pretty nicely also. Any doubt on that statement, just check the attendance records. Barring catastrophic injuries to you know who I expect them to make the playoffs this year.  Oh yeah, nice call on Golden State.

I posted before that his after game interviews are eerily reminiscent to that of former Lion's Coach Rod Marinelli. LOL Given the sample size you can drive yourself crazy wondering what the agenda is with this team. They send quite a few conflicting messages....., "trying to develop talent and win games, playing the lineup that gives us the best opportunity to win, playing players off of merit, not playing players off of merit", preaching defense but inserting Charlie V into the lineup to create more offense. Like I said, quite a few inconsistencies. The most frustrating thing about all of the talk, is that we're not WINNING!!! So why not play the young guys, why play Tayshaun the most minutes on the team? Why not play Drummond & Monroe together? Why not start the transition now of letting Moose (I hate that nickname) play PF with Dummond the Bull at center? Use this season as a learning curve and get the bumps out of the way early on so at least they can start to build some chemistry this season moving forward.
