    man deke is sweet. 35 minutes at his age, Wow! I hope Adelman held him back to keep him fresh for the playoffs. If he doesn't get 10-12+ mpg in the playoffs I will be surprised. He is a huge force inside to say the least.

    Kinda sad that most of us who are in our 20's can't do what this man is doing in a NBA game at 43.

    A double-double over GSW didn't prove anything. They have no center.

    An ignorant response. Both Biedrins and Turiaf are adequate centers.

    It's only a matter of time before Deke becomes self aware.













    (meaning: He's like a machine.)

    I'm 100% with you on this. I have been saying the same thing for two years also. RA should substitute by position instead of just by player. Substituting Deke for Yao and Landry for Scola keeps everyone in their natural positions where they can be more effective.

    Of course there will be times when matchups require adjustments, but this should be the standard sub pattern.

    Deke has heart. No matter the situation he has the mentality of a winner. He takes a challenge and steps up too it. He Believes he is the best. He may not have the ring but he has the soul of a champion. HALL OF FAMER period.

    hall of famer because he was a dominant defensive force, not much else there. he's been a leader for us, which i think is great. he is the leader of this team, everyone, including ronron looks up to him.

    Gotta leave a mark here. Deke is a living legend. He makes me believe that Africa is the origin of human race.

    If you must choose one, which back number would you like to retire?
    #1 or #55 ?

    Deke: 7 time DOP, 2nd all time shot blocker.
    Randolph: A kid just started learning how to NBA basketball

    What was he thinking being so disrespectful. Fire and passion is one thing, but going over the line being a moron is another. I hope some of older Warriors tell him that.
