I also think that Azubuike has a good shot at most improved this year.

lol just a while ago I was saying why isn't Isiah playing Fred Jones and Nate Robinson over crappy players like Collins and Balkman...well today he did and Jones started and had 19 points for them.

Also Chandler finally played and had 8 points.

Collins and Balkman are far from "crappy players" they both provide defense for a team who lacks it. Fred Jones IMO shouldne be on this team, he's just another (less talented) version of Jamal Crawford and we REALLY could live w/o him.

With forward Mickael Pietrus, a starter in the Warriors' first four games, not expected back until Friday or possibly even Sunday, Warriors Coach Don Nelson said he's going to give forward Matt Barnes his first start of the season tonight against the Detroit Pistons . It would be Nelson's fourth lineup in six games.

"Matt had his best practice (of the season) today," Nelson said Tuesday. "Without Pietrus there, I really need a good performance from him. That's why I was so encouraged with today's practice. We know what he can do when he's right, and it didn't look like that hand was bothering him much."

Barnes has been steadily improving despite dislocating the ring finger on his right (shooting) hand against Cleveland on Nov. 6 and dealing with an ongoing personal issue off the court.

"I've been getting good rhythm in practice, and I'm ready to have that carry over on the court," Barnes said. "Regardless of when MP's coming back, I just need to step my game up. I think I'm starting tomorrow and it's going to start tomorrow. I'm turning a new page,"

Antonio McDyess, who has been hampered by a sore left shoulder, left the game with 6:39 to play due to the injury. He had an magnetic resonance imaging test performed after the game. Team officials said the MRI revealed no structural damage, however his status for tonight's game is uncertain.
So I'm guessing that Maxiell will get the start if 'Dyess doen't play.
And that may mean that Amir gets some good time.

Yea but Balkman and Collins can't hardly score at all and you need points to win, and Fred Jones will get alot more of those than Collins and Balkman combined.

Maxiell needs to learn how to control the ball a lot better.

I'm ready to trade Kobe for piece's around Farmar and Bynum. They both have great chemistry together and Farmar is showing himself to be a great leader on the floor and contributes NICELY.

I'm curious to see if the Pistons do anything right tonight. I mean you let them bomb up threes like it's a freethrow, then you take a stupid shot, our turn it over again. Lovely job guys. Lose to another team that is winless, beautiful.

WOW
The ref's in this game swear they were back in the 80's. Everyone on both sides of the court are getting hacked with no calls.

He'll get better.
A lot of people see him as a good 6th manin his future but I say he'll be starting for us in the Next 2-3 year's.

YEAH BABY! DOWN 6 NOW!

Haha, Warriors ain't so tough when their jumpers and threes aren't falling. They really don't penetrate what-so-ever.
