So I guess it’s cool to openly tank games. Well at least it is to Don Nelson. If you have been paying attention to what is going on in Golden State you know exactly what I am talking about. Last Friday Jamal Crawford was the first to find out that he was not going to be able to play against the Bobcats. If you remember he dropped 50 points against the Charlotte Bobcats. Don Nelson was so-called giving him a night off and going to play the young guys. As if Jamal Crawford is 50 years old with an ankle brace.

The next player to feel the wrath of “The Don Nelson Youth Movement” was Stephen Jackson. He had to sit down when the Warriors played against the Jazz. You can bet that Monta Ellis, Corey Maggette, and Andris will soon be getting the night off. When a coach says he is going to bench his best players on the team you have to wonder if he cares about winning games. Not only that,but what type of message does that send to the rest of the team.

As a player on the team you have to wonder to yourself, “Why isn’t the coach playing the best players available for us to win games” I guess the Warriors are in pre-draft mode to tank as many games as possible. The problem is I don’t think this is going to sit well with the players.
