Monta Ellis Playing Like An All-Star

Monta Ellis’ 39.7 ppg led the league for the week and helped Golden State to a 2-1 mark, which included wins over the Sacramento Kings and Portland Trail Blazers. Ellis topped 36 points in all three outings, including a sparkling 44-point performance on 15-of-20 shooting from the field in the Warriors’ lone loss of the week, a 121-112 setback vs. Houston. Ellis also chipped in with 7.0 assists and 3.0 steals on the week. (insidehoops.com)

Golden State Warriors guard Monta Ellis was named Western Conference Player of the Week yesterday with an average of 37.7 points, 7 assists and 3 steals in three games. In the Eastern Conference Lebron James was named Conference Player. Of more importance is that the Warriors are finally healthy and finding a chemistry with one another on the basketball court.

Monta, nicknamed the Mississippi Bullet, had another double-double last night in a win against the Portland Trailblazers, the Warriors third straight. I haven't had much to post about the Warriors since the "We Believe" season of 2007, but with a new coach, new ownership and a new cast of talented players around him, the Mississippi Bullet packs a more powerful charge.

Look out NBA, The Golden State Warriors are coming out to Play!
