Warriors coach Don Nelson stormed out and a red-faced, frustrated Monta Ellis couldn’t be consoled by teammates. So ended Thursday’s practice in New York City.
Don Nelson And Monta Ellis Play The Feud
↵You may remember Warriors guard Monta Ellis from previous transgressions such as Injuring His Ankle In A Moped Accident and Saying He Can’t Play Alongside Stephen Curry. Now, he’s getting into arguments with head coach Don Nelson. Just one big happy family there in Oakland.
↵↵... Ellis asked, “Coach, why do I get blamed for everything?” Then, the coach and player had this heated dialogue:
↵Nelson: “What have I ever blamed you for?”
↵Ellis: “For everything. Everything. People not knowing their plays. I didn’t do this. I didn’t do that.”
↵Nelson directed a two-handed wave off at Ellis and left the facility. The guard yelled “That’s why I won’t do it. I just won’t do it.”
↵It’s unclear exactly what Ellis won’t do. Be a leader? Play hard? Show up for practice on time?
↵↵Apparently Ellis wasn’t the only player not ready for practice in time, but he was the only one to feel the wrath of Nelson. No fines are expected.
