    Fear not (or do fear, depending on your point of view): Don Nelson WILL coach against the Bobcats

    Filed under: News; Tagged as:

    UPDATED: Nelson just met with the media and said his back is “doing OK,” even as he wore an ice bag on it. Smart will be the coach working the sideline during the game, since going from sitting to standing is one of the things that pains Nelson the most right now.

    Maybe he just didn’t want to miss the “big hug” that Stephen Jackson has promised him, but Don Nelson will coach tonight against the Charlotte Bobcats despite painful back spasms, according to general manager Larry Riley.

    “We’ll see how long he lasts,” Riley joked.

    Nelson complained of the back problem Thursday after practice and missed the Warriors’ shootaround Friday morning because of them. If Nelson is indeed unable to continue, Keith Smart will take over. Smart went 3-7 subbing in November and December when Nelson suffered from pneumonia.

  1. Can W’s get an injury exception and sign a 10-day contract for a D-League Coach ?

  2. joesez, I was going to try to say something clever, funny and degrading about this juggerNOT of a team, but… never mind. You win!

  3. Well, we did just pick up George Karl’s kid… I’d definitely rather see him give it a whirl for ten days then sit through more of this nonsense. A CJ/Monta/Maggette/Cartier/Devean to end the first half? How strong were those pain pills?

  4. …………BOYCOTT…………..

  5. Stern has to add/move a NBA franchise to San Jose.

    Even if there’s a sale of the Cohan product, this large metropolitan area can support more than one franchise.

    Cohan’s running the NBA product into the ground.

    Stern might see that these weak pacific division franchises keeps the popular LA Lakers in the playoff hunt year after year.

    W’s are the foil for the LA Globetrotters/lakers.

  6. Bulletin: The Fat Man did NOT coach last night, altho he was present at the Oracle.

    Kudos to JoeSez.
