The Warriors have taken a new direction by first not renewing the contract for Chris Mullin and by naming Larry Riley as the new General Manager. Though this is old news, it’s good to let this information sink in and develop a better understanding on where the Warriors want to go. Mullin has been in the office for five years and I believe he did a decent job with the talent and money he had.

Through out the NBA Playoffs, you’ve seen many coaches wearing pins with the initials of “CD,” in honor of their friend, collegaue, coach and mentor, Chuck Daly. At the age of 78, Daly lost his battle to pancreatic cancer and passed away, May 9, 2009.

By far one of the best series in the playoffs have been the Bulls vs. Celtics. They have played [...]
