Posted in Monta Ellis was not having a good game. With time running down, he had 19 points in what was looking like a home loss to the woeful Sacramento Kings.

Warriors Win 4th Straight, Topple Kings 119-112 In OT
The Golden State Warriors, other than getting the prerequisite media coverage, have for the most part flown under the radar. And that is rather interesting considering that they were on a timely, three-game winning streak prior to hosting the Sacramento Kings at Oracle Arena Friday night.

Cavaliers Drop 15th Straight, Pummeled By Bucks 102-88

Monta Zooms In Golden State Victory
Anymore questions? When the coaches go and decide who is an All-Star, and who is not, they had better have a tape of last night’s thrilling 110-108 Warriors win over the Pacers, because Monta Ellis answered every question that was thrown at him. If it was an SAT, he would have gotten a 2,400. After [...]

It appears that they may have found that player in LaMarcus Aldridge. The Blazers made the trip to California’s state capital to take on the Sacramento Kings at Arco Arena Wednesday night, and the [...]
