The Warriors are an entertaining team

I don’t own a gaming system (making it silly to have a copy of NBA Live), but if I did, when I played it would always be as the Golden State Warriors. . . . Bottom line, this is an endlessly entertaining, high-octane bunch that is never, ever boring. It’s like watching any of the “Bourne” movies. Things may not always make sense and the parts might not fit together perfectly, but they sure are a fun way to kill a couple of hours.

Don Nelson’s squad was already set for a difficult transition in the ‘08-’09 season after Baron Davis bolted to the Clippers.

Yes, they replaced his scoring with Corey Maggette . . . but Davis’ influence went beyond simply putting the ball in the hoop.

He was the center of a team that badly needed one, the focal point in difficult moments, and the organizer -- relatively speaking -- of an often-frenetic scheme.
