Nellie Reaches Out to Randolph's Parents

OAKLAND -- As last season wore on, Warriors coach Don Nelson and rookie forward Anthony Randolph finally began to find some common ground and move past the acrimony and tension that had marked November and December.

Randolph thought he should be playing more, and Nelson thought Randolph should be working harder. Things reached a low point in December when Nelson declared he was putting Randolph "on ice" until Randolph began to show a glimmer of a work ethic. Randolph's response, in essence, was to say that he "was going to continue to work hard."

Things eventually thawed between the two, and Randolph would make some nice strides in the final months of the season. And from the looks of it, both men want to pick up where they left off - not go back to Square 1. Maybe that's why Nelson is getting mom and dad involved.
