Nelsons' Intentions

It seems that Nelson has "every intention" of completing the contract extension he just signed. (SFGate)

Frustration brews amongst the Warrior faithful over the overexertion of a handful of players on the roster, while others, who seem to contribute, albeit sporadically, see "yo-yo" minutes. For example, we've seen the meteoric rise and fall of Anthony Morrow, while also witnessing a cameo start from Belinelli. While Ronny Turiaf leads the league in blocks per minute, he also seems to suffer from not having Nelson's total confidence in his offensive game, which means his minutes are limited. Turiaf along with Wright and Randolph is always exciting, especially around the rim. However, the young forwards epitomize inconsistency.

Last night's game against the Heat also threw up a red flag that we've already seen this year. Inbounding. It's desperation time when Warrior fans wax-nostalgic about Mike Montgomery's amazing inbound plays. It's very sad to see the W's having such problems with what seems like a basic part of the game. But it points to a bigger part of the problem, ball control.

Nelson's got his work cut out, first, spreading the minutes around will benefit end of game ball control. Exhaustion leads to turnovers. Second, he's got to build confidence in his bench players, as well as in himself. He's got to trust that his second unit can be successful.
