Mike wasn't doing the job to get the warriors up and running as the Don days.

how many coaches have they had in the past 20 years? :beaten: :bonk:

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- The Golden State Warriors have lured Don Nelson back from retirement to see if he can fix a franchise that's been broken ever since he left 11 1/2 years ago.

Coach Mike Montgomery was abruptly dismissed by the Warriors on Tuesday, and Nelson will be rehired for the job he held for nearly seven seasons, an NBA source told The Associated Press.

They should have done this move before the NBA draft. Don Nelson has a good eye on looking for young, underrated guys with potential to be good players, and is known for picking "sleepers" in the draft. But anyways, with that being said, the Warriors were lucky to have him for rebuilding their team.

USA beat Germany 85-65. Dirk Nowitzki had a bad shooting game and was 3-for-12 from the floor and just finished with 15 points. Carmelo Anthony was the leading scorer for the Americans, scoring 19 points.

a good player....until he wins the big one...oh so close last year, until wade and big tub took it away...

dirk is too inconsistant and needs to build his consistancy, but despite that, look for the mav's to be very hungry to get back into it....but then again look what happens to the spurs... :doh:

But at least he'll be at 80%.... LOL.

You guys are talking about the impossible here. The big tub and big ben are both a hopeless case when it comes to shooting in the FT line........even when standing on a ladder :beaten: :hehe:

You're absolutely right.

But I think the Big Tub is hopeless on all fronts, not just the FT line. :beaten:

But he did have some championship rings......with the help of Bryant and Wade. :sweat:
