i wouldn't put too much stock into it. it is the first game of the season and with the warriors style they can be prone to looking real bad sometimes. baron looked/played well. i was hoping more from hudson esp since baron is going to need his rest to stay healthy.

i said it at the time of the signing and i'll say it again, wtf, austin croshere?

Think of it as trading Richardson for an 8th overall that looks good in a suit + not having to watch one of Biedrins or Ellis become an All-Star for a different team.

Is anyone else annoyed by the mispronunciation of Monta's name? Shouldn't it be Mont-uh? "Mon-tay" should be required to have a "y" at the end for it to properly work.

It's like, we have a local meteorologist named Sean. Wanna know how he pronounces it? "Seen". This was a huge annoying WTF to me until someone explained that he was a twin and his brother was named Shaun. What the hell is the matter with some parents doing crap like that? Now he has to go through life correcting EVERYONE.

At least his parents didn't misspell his name like Dwyane and Antawn.

RJ, well it's good to know that the whole world hasn't gone crazy. Mon-tuh it is. I thought I would be the only one.

This is a good point. I tried to make it about Jhonny Peralta in a baseball thread only to find out that from where he hails (some Latino country) that is actually the correct spelling.

The warriors have proven two things. They can get hot in stretches and are a nightmare for the Mavs. They still haven't proven that they can put a full season together of consistent basketball. They had a hot stretch in 04-05 when Baron joined the team then dropped off the following year. Part of that was because of a crappy coach, but keep in mind we wouldn't even be talking about them if it weren't for a partial collapse of the bottom end of the west last year. Nothing would really surprise me from this team this year.

Jim Barnett(warriors color guy) calls him Mont-uh. I have called him Mont-uh since he was drafted. This whole mon-tay thing was new to me as of yesterday.
