Monta Ellis On Sharing Backcourt With Steph Curry: "Can't Win That Way"


So your team is due to show up today to take some pictures. Answer a few questions and get ready for the upcoming season. By the time they're done, you have a "controversy" in your backcourt. What do you do? Well, if you're Don Nelson, this is your reality. According to reports, during today's media session, Monta Ellis was asked questions concerning the effectiveness of a potential backcourt pairing him with rookie Stephen Curry. His answer - not anything Warriors fans wanted to hear. “I just can’t. I can’t. Can’t win that way.” Huh? Monta Ellis is telling Don Nelson how to win basketball games in the NBA?

You know what though? He's right. That midget ass backcourt ain't winning shit. That shot chucking, no defense playing team ain't winning shit. He's angling to get himself shipped out of Oakland along with Stephen Jackson...and I can't blame him. That franchise, while somewhat unlucky, is also terribly mismanaged. Nobody knows what they're assembling there and why they're assembling it. They have a lot of great players, but that clusterfuck at the guard position is not helping them at all. And to think - they hardballed Orlando for CJ Watson. Okay, that's a personal shot I'm taking. But really, this is a franchise that had the NBA buzzing only two years ago. Yet, here we are once again talking about turmoil in Golden State. Something has to change.

Oh yeah - this fuckery started when they signed Corey Maggette to that big ass deal to soften the blow of losing Baron Davis. That never seemed like a good idea.
