Corey also turns the ball over more than you would expect

Congrats New Jersey, you have a team worse than the DETROIT LIONS. Observation 6: The Mavs are running away with their division The Spurs, Hornets, and Rockets areunder-producing The Grizzlies are, well, the Grizzlies. Unless the Spurs, Hornets, and Rockets start playing hard against teams that are not each other, they'll just continue to fizzle out. I know it's early in the season, but it sure is shaping up to have an interesting finish. . It's no secret that the Golden State Warriors have been a much better team without their former captain, Stephen Jackson. Not only has the ball movement improved, but the overall chemistry has gotten higher and defense has been more efficient. Now that one of the bums is gone, it's time for the Warriors to trade a player that they should have never signed in the first place: Corey Maggette. Well maybe the injury prone part is not that bad, since the Warriors are a better team when he does not play The Warriors went into Dallas, and beat theMavericks.

One of the reasons for the win was because Don Nelson did not coach, but we'll leave that for another article.The main reason the Warriors won was because the youth played unselfishly, played defense, and played with heart. Those are some traits that the overpaid sixth man does not comprehend.While Maggette may provide scoring, that is not what Golden State needs right now. If you want an example that stats are misleading, look at Maggette.He averages 17 points per game and numerous free throw attempts, but what you do not see in the box score is the number of times he has killed the Warriors' momentum.When the Warriors are down by a big margin, theyusually put up a fight and make little runs to comeback near the end of the game. The young guys put up quality scoring streaks and display acts of teamwork.But what could be their only mistake during the runs Passing the ball to Maggette. The lazy Maggette gets to the free throw line, but countless times during the game he chucks up random jump shots.

Most of the jumps shots are bricks that do not even come close to going in. The jump shots andball-hogging are just a part of the problem Maggette causes His defense is below average. He may draw a few charges once in a while, but he is a great flopper, something you should not be proud of.Corey also turns the ball over more than you would expect. Some turnovers are because he lowers his shoulder while attacking the rim, but most of them are because of lazy passes and low-IQ plays.

Maggette has also averaged 1.8 assists per game since wearing a Golden State jersey That is not a number you want from your veteran guard. This is a memo to the Golden State Warriors, Corey Maggette needs to be traded because he is not a player the Warriors need, especially with his horrendous contract. For more basketball discussion, join I will begin this article by giving my respect to the Auburn Tigers and Gene Chizik. They could not have been coached better, and they could not have played with more heart than they did against a VERY good Alabama team.They came out and ran many trick plays that brought success, and left Alabama with a fourteen point deficit five minutes into the game. Their fans remained in the game for all four quarters, and played a big part in their success.I owe that to the Auburn Tigers, they shocked the nationNow, on to the team that took a bullet to the chest, but was able to tough it out and get the victory.
