Warriors: 109 Clippers: 103 Preseason game 7

The lat preseason game was a chance for Nellie to rest the starters and allow the second team to have a shot which proved a success in a 109-103 success over the clippers. Despite almost blowing a 23 point lead the Warriors cloes their preseason at a 5-2 finish. With that in mind here are some observations from the boxscore after last nights game.

Will Monta Ellis really be our backup PG. A few days ago in our season preview I was sure T-Hud would get the hnours but Ellis last night finally had the big breakout exhibtion game we anticipated with 27 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists. Such a performance means he's ready for action. However he did have a slight ankle sprain towards the end of the game which the Team doctors said they would look at today.

Kosta Perovic I don't know where I stand with him. Signing him to a deal was preplexing enough considering he din't play at all last year but he didn't play too bad 8 points on 3-4 shooting. always puzzled about this pick it seemed it was rushed at the time and considering he didn't play at all last season a waste as well but hopefully he can gel it together this season.

Not too sure where to start with Marco. He once again showed he wasn't afraid to shoot going 3-11 but on the other hand the transition from the Euro League to the NBA is huge.

Harrington has a lot of explosivness that was lacking in his Atlanta Hawks, Indiana Pacers days perhaps attributed to the loss of weight in the offseason. He had 21 points. Also a shoutout to Austin Croshere who like Baron Davis is an LA native. He had 11 points and seemingly lived up to the billing of being our hustle guy
