• ...what?!?!??!?!??
• Steals alone can't make you good, but it'd sure be great if they did: all three of our little guys rank in the league's top 15 in steals per night. As with so many other facets of the game, the most impressive Warrior in terms of steals is quietly CJ, who averages 2.19 steals per 36; among guys who've played a lot, only Rondo and Rudy Fernandez top that.
• You know who realized that a big lineup would easily outrebound and beat the wounded Blazers? Mike Dunleavy. Congrats, Nellie -- you are officially the dumbest coach in basketball.
• Marc Stein reports that the Raptors will be waiving Pops Mensah-Bonsu... they hope to re-add him if he clears waivers. With Biedrins and Turiaf back, our rebounding situation is not as dire as it was, but dropping Devean for Pops is still a good idea.
Both Maggette and Randolph have slipped back below the horizon, leaving only four healthy Warriors with positive net plus-minuses: CJ, Morrow, and (in limited minutes) Hunter and Biedrins. If you tally up everyone who's played at all for us this year (re-adding Jack, 'Buike, Law, Bell, Mikki and George), only 30.2% of our minutes have come from guys with positive net plus-minus totals... impossibly, almost everybody makes us worse. Your Golden State Worriers: so shitty they break math.

LOL on the break math. Didn't Nellie earn dumbest coach when Dumbleavy murdered us at Oracle awhile back? I was at that game and I think I'll have Vietnam flash backs to it whenever someone mentions 'Mikki Moore.'
Riley is a sly old cooter. He says all the right things and does actually seem to be competent and diligent (he was in Boise at the time of the interview). And as much as he promotes Monta, he does seem to understand tha Ellis needs to play 36 minutes, and his stated aim for "another player," I hope, is at least partly to contain and conserve Monta. But probably not.
I wonder: is Maggette's stock any higher around the league for his excellent offensive play of late? Or do GMs explain away his play from his presence in Nellie's sui generis "system"?
