Jackson started off the season playing great ball, I wouldn't say he failed. His injury has slowed him down as of late and he's forced his game as well. Maggette was a failure before he was even on the Warriors, anyone who considers him a star is a fool. I didn't prove anything about dookie's usefulness, how do you figure that but also say he failed?

As a team they are all failing. You can't place blame on any one player more than the other. The team was stripped of it's true star when they decided not to resign Baron. And you're right we should have never picked up Maggette. That was done out of spite since Clippers almost took Brand. Without a true floor general or #1 option, the whole team is being exposed. We got a team full of inexperience, and 2nd rate role players all forcing their game, and why, because they really got no choice. And anybody think Ellis is gonna change that will be sadly mistaken, unless he becomes a real PG overnight.
Peete, not only is Jackson the king of doing it, but he can't even finish for the and one, and half the time, he does it half heartedly and gets his shot blocked and complains.

If he wasn't an option why was he on the floor so much the few games he played with the W's
agreed
Dont get me wrong, Jackson has not been shooting good either. I hate how he keeps shooting when he's cold and has injury problems. The only leeway I give him is he has a knack for getting hot at the right time. His turnovers are because he's playing a bit out of role being a point foward but he's also among the league leaders in assists.

I think the point you're missing is that these are (most likely) the roles established for these guys. On offense, it's not Buike's job to be a playmaker. He's there to take (and hopefully make) shots.
Jackson is your playmaker and has the assists and turnovers to show for it.
Blame the coach, if anything.

Hell naw, i don't think that but he can't do any worse than anybody else on the team. If anything, I stick with Watson and continue to let him grow into his role. He's really the only player I can say has shown growth outside of Biedrins. My point was every player we got needs someone else to set up their shot similar to what nash brings to the Suns, and we don't have that Nash type of player to do that so we look like a bunch of bums driving up the court, not even thinking bout passing, and throwin up shots that should get them buried at the end of the bench with the towel boys

Check the Don Nelson interview on the side. About halfway through he talks about ball movement and players making an adjustment to it.

small ball doesnt equal championships.
Although i think at times nelson is allright, what has he won? azabuike is a 6-7 off the bench like it was said. he plays bigger than he is and physically can hold his own. we just cant win like this. jackson cant play 40+ minutes a game and then be expected to step up in the fourth. Let the kids start getting experience and put them on an all protein bulk up diet. the warriors are light in the ass and come the fourth quarter, and as of late, early on, its showing. defense is nowhere to be found.

What I took from that is that it's not that Nelson likes ball movement, it's that he understands now that they need to change the way they've been playing (including more ball movement) because what they've been doing isn't working.
Cats gotta make adjustments, yes. What they're adjusting from is a system where they were told to shoot when they were open ...
