... see any horrendous performances truly worthy of the biggest loser, so we’ll give this one to Don Nelson’s motivational skills: Says Nelson after the game: “I like the team for the future. I’ve got a lot of guys that aren’t ready yet, we have some deficiencies as a team. One of them is passing. We’re not a good passing team. Our trade helps that, gives us another passer. We’re not...

If the Warriors lose 9 in a row, could Don Nelson be in jeopardy? [Talking Points] Coaches take way too much blame from the media, fans, and even their own respective teams. It shocks me that we don't see more headlines like "If the Warriors lose 9 in a row, could {Chris Mullin, Robert Rowell} be in jeopardy?" They're the ones most responsible for creating this mess. Nellie is a legendary coach....

It's become apparent that owner Mark Cuban is going to make former Mavericks' coach Don Nelson wait as long as possible to get the $7.1 million he's owed in back pay. Whether it's out of spite or because Cuban can earn money off the amount that an arbitrator and court have ruled he owes Nelson, the owner plans to take the appeals process as far as he can. | Other blogs: | | | This in...

John F. Kennedy once wrote “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.” When Baron Davis opted out in late June, Don Nelson, Chris Mullin, Robert Rowell and Chris Cohan were confronted with an uprising of youth. As in most periods of upheaval, some saw boundless promise while others saw chaos. Chris Cohan [...]

Granted, Don Nelson may simply be trying to light fires under his players' butts through means that don't involve a permanent green light and ole' D consent. Thus, his reverse-Knute Rockne about the playoffs already a wash could simply be reverse psychology. Mind you, he's probably right, as I didn't consider them a playoff team even before Monta Ellis got hurt, much less a 5-12 start. But even...
