Impending Doom.....
I'm an "expect the worst, hope for the best" kind of guy. So today's news from Geoff Lepper was not quite the quick blow to the face that it probably should be. I actually wondered aloud to myself back in August why Richardson had waited so long to have knee surgery. Anyway, regardless of how our cute little 3 guard line up might be producing thus far in the meaningless exibition games, without JRich achoring down the two spot on opening night, the Warriors are doomed.
Don't get me wrong, I like Dujuan Wagner, and I think he'll be able to bring some instant offense. But without Richardson pouring in 23+ a night, the Warriors are no better than the worst team in the Association.
Dubs fans will remember a sequence in Montogomery's first season as coach, where Jason went down with a sprained ankle. The Dubs went on to lose ALL nine games that Richardson missed, and it wasn't until he came back on a less than fully healed ankle to drop 43 on the Nuggetts on TNT, that the they broke their losing streak.
The Warriors play 13 of their first 17 games at the Arena. It is absolutely imperative that they win a majority of those games. Without Richardson ready to go vs. the Lake Show on opening night, my feeling is that things are not looking good. We are still more than two weeks away from opening night, so there is time for JRich to recover. I guess our only consolation is that Kobe isn't playing any preseason games either.

it's god's work being done here on this blog. excellent idea here my friend. The warrior-supporting community of Paris heartily endorses the views of this blog. See you in the sco, where the dubs should celebrate our presence with a unlikely eatrly season victory. Long live the 5 guard line up.
