It's official: Sidney Moncrief going to Beijing Ducks as consultant [Examiner]
Let's Go Beijing Jinyu!
Warriors management doesn't deserve these fans [Mercury]
I've been saying this for years:
"The Warriors of Rowell, Cohan [and Nelson] simply do not deserve this kind of passion. They haven't earned your entertainment dollar."
I'm not sure why Nellie's lumped in with Rowell and Cohan or why Mullin's gets complete pass here, but Rowell and Cohan do not deserve this fanbase.
With Stephen "Frozone" Jackson out at least 2 weeks [Inside the Warriors], this 2008-2009 Golden State Warriors season is looking even less incredible.
Props to my folks GD and DT from the mighty Fear the Beard as always.

Rules for Lakers Fans Attending Games in Sacramento [Sactown Royalty]
The same applies where applicable for Faker fans in Oakland tonight. Laker fans = lowest hoops IQ fans in the entire association
I don't think I need to say this, but all of the Dubs fans in attendance at the Roaracle tonight- make sure to throw up that W and show them ShallowCalers how we do it in the Yay Area! This is our house.

Ellis, Randolph and the further, future discontent of the Warriors [Talking Points]
My take: Moped Ellis showed his appreciation to the Warriors' organization and loyal fanbase by violating his contract this past offseason, lying about it, trying to fight a very justifiable 30 suspension, issuing a weak ghost-written "apology", costing this team double digit wins this season, not helping his 6th men paid like stars and NBDL teammates while they're trying their best every night, and is a big reason the 2008-2009 Golden State Warriors are "Unwatchable baby!" Who cares if he's "not pleased" right now? Hopefully he has a successful recovery, but he had it all coming.
BUT even though as a fan I'd like the Warriors to have the option of tearing up his contract so it doesn't cripple the team's cap if he comes back and isn't worth that huge extension he was gifted, he and his agent have a very valid point. The Warriors shouldn't have the option to suspend him and then decide whether to terminate his contract if he doesn't perform. Pick one, but not both. (Legal experts in the GSoM community please drop your insights in the comments.)
At this point given Anthony Randolph's heavily mistake-laden rookie season thus far, reported sour attitude unwelcome by his teammates and coaches, high school/ college winning percentage, and draft slot, the media-hyped Nellie vs Randolph and Nellie vs Chris Webber parallel is a stretch at best. CWebb was a once in a lifetime talent. Randolph not so much. CWebb over Nellie in '94, but Nellie over Randolph in '09.

His days of playing 40 minutes a game are over. For his body, his hamstring, less minutes are important for him. We've got to get him consistently playing, so if he feels good tomorrow, we'll see how that goes.
He had one of his best years when he was a sixth man. He'll do whatever we need him to do, so it's no problem with him personally.
Golden State Warriors head coach Don Nelson on the team's big $50 million splash this past offseason. Don't blame Corey Maggette- he's saying all the right things and has tried to play through some injuries. It's not his fault the Warriors' front office didn't do their homework and didn't recognize that they were getting a good one-dimensional, injury prone swingman- nothing more, nothing less. You don't break the bank for that kind of player, especially instead of keeping a top PG in Baron Davis. This signing also partially set off a domino money effect causing the completely unnecessary Stephen Jackson extension. [SFGate]

I've got a lot of years left. I can do eight more years. Are you kidding me? I'm like a spring chicken.
Former Warrior PF Troy Murphy illuminates how ignoring half of the game (ahem, defense) can actually double your NBA playing career. I always liked T-Double- still cashing checks on that Chris Mullin gifted 6 year $60 million dollar deal and still collecting empty double-doubles! Good for him. [Murphy has niche in NBA - South Bend Tribune]. Double-doubles, wedding planning, stand up comedy? Murph's the man!

To bring in the 2k9 we're adding a fresh new regular section to the mighty Golden State of Mind. There's thousands of you who come here daily to get your Warriors, NBA, and hoops culture fix, so we want to see thousands of votes here (not one hundred million Dr. Evil ballot stuffing votes).
All right Dubs Nation to kick off this first one let's see what's keeping the loyalest fans from the loyalest fanbase in the entire association interested in this incredibly difficult 2008-2009 Golden State Warriors season. It was less than 2 years ago when we were shocking the world with the most entertaining team in the league and now we're back to suck. What's keeping you golden right now?
