This was probably a game the Warriors would have lost without Ellis' play in the opening 47 minutes. He had 28 points, three assists, three steals and countless hustle plays. While the Warriors were blowing most of their 20-point lead, Ellis was the only one consistently getting back in transition. On back-to-back Toronto breaks, he single-handedly made stops (a steal and a block).

"That's what the good players do, and he's proving himself to be as good as he said he wanted to become," coach Keith Smart said. "He's proving it in the way he's approaching the game, the way he's competing and the way he's playing.

"He bailed us out of a lot of tough plays, and that's what the good players in our league do."

THANK GOODNESS: Monta's injury isn't serious

http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/11/09/report-monta-ellis’-back-injury-just-a-sprain/

the prognosis is a sprain and “nothing serious” according to Ken Berger at CBS Sports. The official report from the Warriors will come later today, at which time we will get a status for him playing Wednesday against the Knicks.

Right now Ellis remains resting in Toronto after having post-game X-rays while his team has moved on to New York.
i'd rather have Ellis sit out the NY game until his back feels close to 100%
Lin did a good job coming off the bench yesterday and so did B Wright.
hopefully they both get more playing time against NY

oh and by the way...

Lin + B. Wright >>> Bell + Radmanovic

B Wright should def take Radmans minutes. Radman is extra garbage. there arent many guys i wouldnt trade him for.

Charlie Bell and Lin are kinda opposites in styles. Lin is more of a playmaker that can drive and score and Bell is stronger on defense. Lin had a good game but when he struggles Bell will be a solid vet to have.

could radmans contract be the reason hes getting minutes?
yes, and to build some trade value for him. he does have potential to ball, so i think smart is giving him a chance to produce and not be so worthless. he had a couple decent games last year where he actually made shots, but overall hes been a pile of shit.
