Welcome back Jamal! We’re all hoping that if the game is on the line for Golden State, the ball is in your hands for an iso play.

This play is from the Boston game on November 18th, and as soon as it happened I had wanted to talk about it. Unfortunately by the time I got the video/screen shots together Jamal had already been traded. So with the Warriors coming into town on Sunday, I’ve decided to publish it. Knicks at Boston, [...]

Okay, so the trade was completed (thank goodness), but it looks like Mobley will not be in the starting lineup tonight.
