The signing may go unheralded, but Turiaf’s addition to the Warriors is going to pay dividends for them. He’s a blue collar worker that get down n dirty in the paint and do the things that Biedrins is incapable of. I saw in the playoffs how Turiaf got all up in Boozer’s face and really made things difficult for him. Boozer usually goes for 20 and 20 against the Warriors so it’s safe to say those days are over.
Let’s see if Turiaf can get more looks on the offensive end too. In Phil’s triangle buckets are few and far between for someone like him but in Nellie’s run n gun he’ll be able to create baskets for himself simply from hustling…and we all know Turiaf likes to hustle.
I hope he does some more of his crazy dancing on the sideline too. It’s some weird Martinique inspired thizz dance but that’s perfect for the fans at the rOracle Arena.
Go on with your bad self Ronny!
re: He’s everything this team needs. An energetic big man that can body up and play good D against bigger players. However he gets into foul trouble quickly and he’s still a bench player. This is going to be a long year for Warriors fans.

sure it also helps to have him on the Warriors vs. having to go against him as part of the Lakers.
