Damn he’s sick. He’ll dropping these all season for the W’s…Ant and Ammo are going tear up the league this year. Exciting.
MIAMI - The Shaun Livingston comeback is over. At least for now. At least with the Miami Heat.
Livingston was informed of his release after Monday night’s 91-84 loss to the San Antonio Spurs at AmericanAirlines Arena, with the team expected to make a formal announcement later this morning.
The former Los Angeles Clippers point guard was signed as a free agent on Oct. 3. He had been attempting a comeback from a gruesome Feb. 26, 2007 knee injury that left him with a dislocated left kneecap and three torn ligaments.
Sad news from the NBA Monday. Shaun Livingston, who every fan hopes can make it back one day, has been cut by the evil Miami Heat. Evil because they cut the one of the most inspiration players on the court. After getting his leg ripped in half, Shaun made it on their roster. Unfortunately, it was a bit early as he seemed stiff and uncomfortable playing in some games.
People drink. NBA players drink. NBA players like to drink and drive….shocker. I like J-Rich too, I really do. He’s one of my favorite players, but dude, just call a limo. You’re a millionaire. I’ll never understand anyone who drinks and drives. The risk/reward ratio is all screwed up. You’re risking thousands of dollars, your life and every other life on the road so you can get somewhere? Just. Call. A. Taxi. Or if you’re an NBA player, call a limo or a driver…or something. It doesn’t matter to them though, because the fees and fines equal nothing. Oh well, I guess you can’t win em all.
PHOENIX (AP)—Suns guard Jason Richardson is facing charges of driving under the influence of alcohol in an American Indian tribal community in metropolitan Phoenix.
A citation filed in court says the ex-Michigan State star was stopped by a Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community police officer in the early morning of Dec. 21.
MIAMI (AP) — Former NBA player Antoine Walker was charged with suspicion of drunk driving in Miami Beach early Monday morning, further hurting his chances of playing again this season.
Walker was driving a black Mercedes without the lights on when he was pulled over at 5:39 a.m., according to the arrest report. Officers detected a strong odor of alcohol and wrote in the report that Walker had a sleepy look on his face. He refused a breathalyzer test.
Don is really getting good at isolating players and creating problems. First it was Baron, then Al Harrington and now one of the only remaining players from the Warriors glorious 2006 playoff run is wanting out. According to ESPN:
Davis is gone. Jackson, according to several sources, recently told teammates he’d happily accept being sent elsewhere. Al Harrington already got his wish to be dealt. Sources also say rookie phenom Anthony Randolph, who some believe has the talent to one day be among the league’s top 10 players, has been told he’s not fitting in and could be dealt. Point guard Marcus Williams is seeking a buyout. Corey Maggette, signed last summer after the loss of Davis, is back in Los Angeles rehabbing a hamstring and one opposing GM said Maggette’s agent is quietly exploring his trade options.
However bad it looks at 8-22, it’s way worse behind the scenes. According to sources, Jackson, Nelson’s staunchest ally in the lockerroom, was called into Nelson’s car when he showed up for the team’s shootaround before facing Orlando. Nelson apparently told Jackson he was playing poorly and Jackson, who had been fighting through injuries to stay on the court, was so upset he skipped the shootaround. Jackson denied any lingering conflict, but he has since decided not to play until his injuries heal.
When are the Warriors going to realize Don Nelson is a locker room serial killer? When are the Warriors going to realize that Don Nelson isolates players and erodes their confidence? These are questions most Warriors fans will continue to ask as the season gruelingly wears on. Don has already disposed of Al Harrington and pushed away the Warriors future by isolating and refusing to play Brandan Wright, Anthony Randolph and Anthony Morrow. These guys are the future of the franchise and instead of seeing them grow, Warriors fans are stuck watching Rob Kurz start and play 30 minutes while Anthony Randolph, a possible future all-star, rots on the bench. Warriors fans have one thing to look forward to: Monta Ellis’s return. Will he stop the bleeding? That’s the one and only bright spot to look forward to for Warriors fans.
ORLANDO — Finally, guard Marco Belinelli said he has made it to the NBA.
Sure, he has been in the league since the Warriors’ drafted him with the No. 18 overall pick in 2007. And he’s certainly collected more than a third of the nearly $5 million he will earn over his first three seasons.
But Belinelli said it wasn’t until now that he felt as if he’d arrived. For the first time in his career, he said he feels as if he is part of the team. He’s getting minutes, providing offense and growing with teammates.
I truly am happy for Marco, he’s a great talent. Unfortunately for Warriors fans, he does nothing but throw gas on their defensive woes flame that continues to burn bright. Although Marco can score, he also has the propensity to let his opponents score early and often. It doesn’t help that he is typically the slowest and weakest player on the floor.
For all his defensive shortcomings, he is truly a great offensive threat. He knows how to pass, he has handles out his ass and he can shoot with the best of him. He probably won’t be a perennial starter in the NBA, but he can be an injector of offense and a great passer from the 2. Unfortunately, the Warriors still couldn’t defend a high school team.
