I would, too, but cut him some slack. He's done a great job. Even Kobe doesn't make every buzzer beater on earth.

I read today where Tmac's saying that he may not go. Do someone a favor and let someone who's more deserving get a shot. That would be the right thing to do.

I don't know, would a guy really not go because he doesn't deserve to?

The fans sure screw this up though.

his movie is about gang violence and a call to the nation that many young lives are lost while an indifferent country turns their head.

sometimes you gotta stop being a hater just for the sake of hating. i know you like complaining about the warriors, and thats all good. but i'll be damned if i let you trivialize when an athlete does something positive and unselfish for once.

Rather than being at a strip club making it rain and getting in trouble with the law, you have him spending his money and energy into something credible and positive. Quit hatin, its pathetic, even for you.

We drove 11/2 hours to the warriors game...3 hours back through rain and bumper to bumper traffic...We didnt pay for those tickets..but 18,000 other people did...Baron makes what? 16 or 18 million a year and gets 5 or 6 months vacation time? Show up ready to play!! He should pay us all back for the time, money and emotion he decided wasnt imprortant...

If Baron had told me.."hey dont go to this game because I have to stop over at Sundance and I'm not going to be ready to play on Monday..I could of dealt with it...But he didnt tell us..We expected him to be ready to play really good basketball...People pay that guy a lot of their hard earned money..All he has to do is play hard and be into the game..He let everybody down.

F**k his movie

LF, I dont post here often, but I am an avid fan and a frequent reader of these boards. While I dont have any issues with you as a poster, your diss of Baron here is way off. First off, he had a bad game! The man has single handedly carried this team to wins on multiple occasions. He is our unquestioned leader and he has hit numerous game winners in games past. That being said, there were four other players on the court with Baron at any given time who could share in the blame. Buike was 3-8 from the field, Harrington 3-12 and Biedrins fouled out with only 21 mins. on the court.

Given the post game quotes, I appreciate the fact that Baron take this loss hard. I see Baron rebounding from this game and putting up big numbers and heart to push through the balance of the season. This gives him reason and inspiration to continue to play the level of game he has displayed for the first half of the season and has garnered all-star consideration. Bottom line, BD has given us (the fans) his all this year playing in every game while putting up mins per game that rank him in the top 10 in the league. Chill out and cut a brotha some slack. GO DUBS!!!!

I love Baron Davis and I hate Baron Davis....

Did you know he didnt come out with the team for warmups? He showed up late and took a couple shots (bricks actually) and did his stretching...His shot early on was way off...

As far as Bukibakersfield playing poorly? Let me put it this way..We didnt drive from Stockton to Oakland expecting to see Azubike play good NBA ball.

Another person who doesn't post much checking in to say that LF you are way off base here. All of your posts are either complaining about our players or snide sarcastic remarks. I agree completley with thetruth and hoopwarrior. Baron is playing hard, having a great season, and doing something positive while you've been complaining about his play on an online forum. Every player has off nights.

Sid the Squid · Post #16 » by **Sid the Squid** » Wed Jan 23, 2008 1:18 pm

If I made 18 million a year and had a very unprofessional performance like he had Monday afternoon..I'd give my money back to the fans who paid me...How can Baron justify keeping the 200,000 or 300,000 ? I just don't understand ,,He didnt even show for the warmups..He was completely out of it..Nelson couldnt even take questions he was so mad...Not the homers though..They love being screwed..

I'm pissed at Baron too for not showing up Monday, but still, congrats on the player-of-the-week award.

He'll make up for not showing on Monday, definitely.

I'm not pissed at Baron for not being at the shoot around. For all we know he was getting treatment in the locker-room.

What pisses me off is when he misses FT's like that. Missing FT's is unexusable. I can understand missing a couple, but 3 for 8, that's pathetic and it cost us the game.

I love/hate Baron. I love/hate Nellie.

I love/love the Warriors.

Very good way to put things in perspective, Mylie.

you do realize that basketball is just a game right? that Baron is more than a basketball player?

hes raising awareness of the terrible situation in which he grew in that still exists. i think what he is doing is remarkable. the statement above shows a lot about your character.
