Golden State Gets Further Cap Relief, but Does It Matter?

Posted: 17th November 2009 by Steven Resnick in NBA
I guess the most positive thing to say about the Warriors trade of Stephen Jackson and Acie Law for Vladimir Radmanovic and Raja Bell is the fact that Golden State franchise is now significantly under the salary cap. With the trade, the Warriors are about 21 million dollars under the salary cap. That means that the Warriors could go after some of the top 2010 free agent players. But even more troubling ...

Gridoron Greats Has Done More for Ex-NFL Players than the NFLPA

Posted: 14th November 2009 by Steven Resnick in NFL
NFL or college footballáfans knowáfootball is a violent game, a perfect example of this happened not in the NFL, less than a week ago! Jahvid Best reminds us just how dangerous playing football is. Here's a clip of what happened to Best . There's nothing like watching on TV, and seeing a crowd in such jubilation after watching a great touchdown runáby Best, and then the sudden realization that Best hasn't ...

Incompetent Playcalling by Jimmy Raye is Killing the 49ers Offense

Posted: 13th November 2009 by Steven Resnick in NFL
As the season progresses the one thing that remains clear is that Jimmy Raye as a play caller and an offensive coordinator does not mix. Going further I find it odd that Mike Singletary would choose a coach that hasn't done anything as a coordinator in the last decade. You look at the history of Raye and you will find most of his best efforts recently came as being a coach ...

Golden State Warriors: One Question, Where Was This Effort Last Night?

Posted: 10th November 2009 by Steven Resnick in NBA
After Sunday night's dreadful performance against the Sacramento Kings, it seemed like a matchup against the Timberwolves would be tougher for the Warriors than expected. Against the Kings it looked like the Warriors players had mailed it in on coach Don Nelson. There was no chemistry, there was hardly any effort, and too many one-on-one possesions. A 13-point loss against the Kings didn't look too bad on the scoreboard, but the game ...

The Golden State Warrior Players Have Given Up on Don Nelson

Posted: 8th November 2009 by Steven Resnick in NBA
After watching another pathetic effort by the Golden State Warriors against the Sacramento Kings, it has become clear that the Warrior players have given up on Don Nelson. The question is, how can you blame them? Nelson is one of the most overrated coaches in NBA history. When he has the right system, his teams can be pretty competitive, when it's not the right system, then his teams are awful. That ...

Mike Singletary Needs To Really Take a Closer Look in the Mirror

Posted: 8th November 2009 by Steven Resnick in NFL
It's time for San Francisco 49er fans to start calling out coach Mike Singletary. It's obvious the systems in place right now are not exactly working very well for the team, and it starts with three of the coordinators. The first one is the offensive coordinator. Singletary made a gigantic mistake in hiring such a clown as Jimmy Raye who has no clue how to run an offense. Singletary at the ...

Does Steve Nash Really Qualify As a Top 10 Floor General?

Posted: 7th November 2009 by Steven Resnick in NBA
Hadarii Jones loves to pick interesting topics to write about. His most recent article was a slide show titled "Born to Lead the top 10 Floor Generals in the NBA " which I was intrigued to read. His list in order went Jeff Green, Gilbert Arenas, Kevin Garnett, Dwayne Wade, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Jason Kidd, and Chauncey Billups. To me the weakest link out of ...

Warriors Earn First Victory of the Year With Outstanding Guard Play

Posted: 5th November 2009 by Steven Resnick in NBA
The Golden State Warriors picked up their first win of the season tonight at home against the Memphis Grizzlies. In the first quarter it looked like the Grizzlies were going to run the Warriors out of the gym, and at one point held a 13 point lead. Before the quarter ended, the Warriors were able to cut it to 10. In the first quarter though ,when you look at the 29-19 ...

The Second-Rarest Accomplishment for an NBA Player

Posted: 3rd November 2009 by Steven Resnick in NBA
There's an accomplishment in the NBA that has only happened five times in its entirety and only four names belong on that prestigious list. The name on the list are Hakeem Olajuwon, Nate Thurmond, David Robinson, and Alvin Robertson. Olajuwon is the only player to make the list twice. Now one may wonder what is the rarest accomplishment in the history of the NBA? The answer to that is averaging ...

Jimmy Raye Did Not Give Alex Smith and 49ers a Chance to Win

Posted: 1st November 2009 by Steven Resnick in NFL
The San Francisco 49ers battled the Indianapolis Colts and lost 18-14. The problem is the 49ers should have won this game and now the label of " over-hyped" is going to be said of the 49ers. It's true, though, the 49ers were over-hyped after the team started out 3-0. Another sad part is the fact that the 49ers still have control of the division, but with Arizona improving offensively ...
