Breaking news, the San Francisco Bay water level raised an astonishing 2 feet today due to the tears of Golden State Warriors fans. Check back at 10 p.m. for more updates.
Did I already post in this thread? Can't even remember, but....
I'm happy that Roy made the squad. Coaches voted him in, they know bball more than anyone. They went with substance (Roy) over flash (BD). Heck, Roy is a coach's son. There's a lot of guards in the league who put up numbers and make dazzling plays, but there is something oh so subtle about Roy's game that only a keen eye is able to observe. He is so special in that he can impact a game without having the ball in his hands, he can even change a game during a deadball situation by directing his teammates. He is already one of the best floor leaders in the game. He is wise beyond his years. I can't help but to fantasize what it would be like to coach a player like that. I think Western Conference coaches felt the same way when they voted him in. Baron Davis? Scintillating player indeed. But I think his erraticness is something many NBA observers are turned off by. The fadeaway 3-pointers with 15 on the shot clock, the unnecessary twirling passes, and the scoring mentality he has. Maybe that hurts him being that he is a point-guard, where as guys like Nash, Paul, and Roy look to set the table. I think B Diddy's time will come.... someday. I also think playing for Don Nelson hurts him. I don't if you guys are aware of this, but his untraditional style of basketball is not well appreciated by his peers. It hasn't won him any titles. Heck, it hasn't yielded him any trips to the Finals that I'm aware of. All of these things are embedded in their minds.

Well, Brandon Roy, 4th PG of the team, made it.Originally Posted by 22 Deuces 22
Why am I the only Warriors fan that isn't crying about Davis. I was telling everyone yesterday that there's no way he makes the roster. What did you think, he was going to make it over Paul or Nash? The 2 best PG's in the league?

while i do agree with you that playing under Nelson's system hurt his chances, that's how the warriors play. we shoot 3pters whenthere's 15, hell 20 on the shot clock. but baron impacts the game just as much if not more than roy when he's on or off the floor. why do you thinkhe plays so many minutes? the warriors lose focus when he's not out there. it's a different team when he's on the bench.
It's also not his "untraditional" style, it's the whole team's. should it be a factor in deciding who makes an all star game? idon't think so, it probably does though. if you look at their stats, if you look at the overall record, then i see no argument as to why baronshouldn't be in. but anyway, baron already has had his time, he's been to this show before.

i really don't understand when ppl use the term "crying" when all we're doing is justifying the fact that a player whodidn't make the team, should have.

Oops thanks for catching that...
You know when people start off with "You must not really watch/know a thing about basketball" if such and such?
Stop that. *%$% is annoying.
Its just that alot of what has made him a great player in both college and the NBA is alot of stuff thatdoesn't get put on SC and isn't reflected in a box score.
I'm not trying to insult anyone its just that some people only look at numbers and judge a player solely on them....all I'm saying is numbers don'ttell the whole story.
