Warriors Want Webber

Hooped Up | January 28, 2008

On Chris Webber: Don Nelson wants him back. He even said so before Sunday’s 106-104 win over the New York Knicks: “I just hope that it happens, to be quite honest with you. Our team needs it.” They do need something extra. The Warriors may be as fun and frantic as ever, but they are again on the fringe of the playoff field. Believe Almighty Nellie. He’s not the NBA’s second-winningest coach by accident. Then again, maybe he’d already be atop the victory chart if only he and Webber hadn’t feuded 14 years ago and broken up the Warriors, a 50-win playoff team in 1993-94.
