... hardly spewing the faux calm he tends to employ. The Warriors players were fairly tight-lipped, rushing past the throng of media so they could avoid talking about the Jax Saga.

Don Nelson believes Stack Jack will play hard and be a “good soldier” for the Warriors. Although he seems a bit out of it when he’s on the court lately, he still plays quite hard as one of the best players on that Warriors roster. One thing’s for sure, Nellie ain’t his momma. ...
