If this story from ESPN.com doesn't leave you scratching your head, I don't know what to say to you.
Golden State is the worst defensive team in the league, by points allowed per game. They do a pretty good job of covering up that fact by being one of the most-athletic teams and putting up 105 points per game. If Chris Webber is to be believed, the Warriors are on the verge of signing him.
So, just to recap, the worst defensive team in the league is about to sign possibly the worst defensive big man in the league. A big man who can't possibly run the floor with the rest of the team, a big man who hasn't been in shape for about 5 years and has been sitting on his rear for the past 6 months.
If this is a move to up TV ratings, well, it's going to work. I can't wait to see Webber on the court in Golden State.
Everyone's favorite Warriors blog, Golden State of Mind, has an ambivalent take on the news, check it out.
All offense, no defense Webber?? He fits right in with the Warriors, lol. It's probably a bad move for Webber because of the pace that the Warriors play.
Webber should've push to sign with the Spurs. IMO, that would've been his best fit. Pop would've worked around his lack of lateral quickness. Actually, Webber can play good position defense, believe or not. But he can't play defense in space.
This one is almost as bad an idea as Webber going to the Lakers.....
As long as someone other than the Sixers is putting up with the sulking/whining/gimpy diva, it's fun to watch a train wreck moving in SSSLLLOOOOOOOOOOWWWW
motion...
Funny, is he going to get along with his coach better than he did on his first stint with the Warriors with the same guy?
Actually, they're only the seventh worst team if you adjust for pace.
Webber is going to adjust their pace all on his own.
