She loves me, she loves me not

Well? Is he gonna play or not? The 64 thousand dollar question. Last week it was no, yesterday it was no. Today, well.... it appears that it may be yes! The SF Chronicle is reporting that Jason Richardson may indeed be ready to give it the 'ol college try in time for next Wednesday's season opener.
As was discussed earlier in this space, the presence of Richardson or the corallary, the absence of Richardson is of the foremost concern to the Dubs. I hate to reiterate the obvious, but the Dubs need to win as many games in the month of November as possible. Having Richardson in the lineup on opening night would be a huge benefit. And so would the absence of Kobe Bryant. Sports Illustrated is reporting that Kobe is not healing as quickly as he has in the past from his off season knee surgery. While, Kobe is certainly one of the top 5 draws in the Association, the Dubs would certainly catch a break if he was in street clothes at the O, on opening night.
The Warriors are at home tonight in their second to last preseason game against the Portland Trailblazers. For Blazer news, click here.
