Still, I hate Cohan. But you could put together a team of ex-warriors and they'd be one of the best in the NBA. Webber, Sprewell, Jamison, Arenas, Hughes, Dampier, etc. The team hasn't had a winning record since I was 8 years old.
February 6, 200521 yr You could put a team of ex players fro mevery team and it would be good...except maybe the clippers.

February 8, 200521 yr the whole "i didn't play with full effort in toronto" is bull...it's purely an excuse for his s***ty numbers. he didn't get to play too many minutes, he didn't get to take that many shots, and the burden of scoring fell more on his teammates' shoulders. when a guy scores 43 points, you'd think he was on fire from the field during the game...or, at the very least, he shot above his season average in FG%. neither is true. VC was 14-32 from the field. he just took (a lot) more shots in this OT thriller. in fact, his 27 FG attempts against detroit were his most since 3/5/03, and his 32 FG attempts last night were his most since 11/10/02, when he also took 32 shots. he hasn't turned anything on; he has just been taking more shots since saturday. perhaps he's trying to shoot down recent criticism that he doesn't deserve to start the all-star game?

Vince had like 5 or 6 games with Toronto this year where he scored less than 10 points. He wasn't as aggressive and wasn't teh focal point of the offense. As a guy who has watched Vince for years it doesn't surprise me that he says he hasn't always tried his hardest. He's settled for jumpers for years and only now is he finally giving up his body and taking the ball to the bucket. Even though 14-32 is a lousy percentage, you have to realize that he hit 5 of his first 9 threes in the first half. It wasn't just that he shot a lot. He was on fire. For the first time in a while, with Buford and Jefferson out, Vince has been comfortable needing to be the main man on the team just for a chance at victory. He's taking more shots than earlier in the year, but he's taking better shots, shooting at a much higher percentage, and averaging career bests in assists.
