The Golden State Warriors have faced a chorus of criticism for shipping Australian centre Andrew Bogut to the Dallas Mavericks in the off-season to secure All-Star Kevin Durant.The Warriors were crushed 129-100 on their home court in Tuesdays NBA regular-season debut against Patty Mills San Antonio Spurs.The game was a disaster for the Warriors who boasted four All-Stars in their starting five - Durant, Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson - and were expected to dominate the Spurs.Former NBA stars turned analysts pointed to Boguts absence.Bogut was a guy that was just constantly in the way, former Warriors player turned ESPN basketball analyst Tim Legler said on San Francisco radio station KNBR.He just knows how to clog the lane, he just knows how to be an irritant, in addition to that hes a phenomenal last line of defence rim protector and hes also got a role in the offence because hes such a good passer.Warriors centres Anderson Varajao and Zaza Pachulia attempted to fill the hole left by the 213cm Bogut, who plays his first game for the Mavericks against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday AEDT.Anderson Varajao and Zaza are great defenders but as far as protecting that rim, they are not Bogut, and I think now they are kind of realising that, another former Warriors player, Antawn Jamison, said.I think they miss his dynamic as far as controlling the paint and just being satisfied with thats my job I make sure its difficult for guys in the paint.You see last night San Antonio was getting backdoor cuts, layups, things of that nature.Canberras Mills was one of the benefactors, with a reverse layup up the middle of the key a highlight in his 11 points.

The teams, and a few thousand fans, waited nearly four hours from the 7:05 scheduled start time before an announcement was made shortly before 11 p.Chelsea technical director Michael Emenalo says he does not understand the fuss over Tottenhams youth policy. Emenalo claims only Harry Kane has made an impression at first-team level and says Spurs have bought most of the other youngsters currently challenging for the Premier League title.He was responding to criticism of Chelseas academy policy, which comes despite the fact the club have just retained the UEFA Youth League and have won four of the past six FA Youth Cups. Chelsea play Manchester City in the first leg of this years final on Friday, and insists young players are given as much of an opportunity at Stamford Bridge as at Spurs.Emenalo said: In reality it is just the one key player, Harry Kane. Dele Alli they bought, Eric Dier they bought, Tom Carroll is a fringe player. So with all the hoopla about Tottenham, its just the one player. Chelsea technical director Michael Emenalo So we try to remind them its not just a Chelsea problem. We want them to be patient because [the parents] want it quicker than the boys want it or the boys are ready to take it.Two players who have stepped up to the Blues first-team this season have been Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Bertrand Traore, while Todd Kane is expected to make the breakthrough next season following a successful loan with NEC Nijmegen.Emenalo also has high hopes for Andreas Christenssen, Tammy Abraham, Jake Clarke-Salter and Fikayo Tomori becoming first-team regulars at Chelsea.ddddddddddddChristensen will be a superb player, Emenalo said. I see on a regular basis that Jake Clarke-Salter and Fikayo Tomori are going to be outstanding players. Harry Kane has become a key player at Tottenham in the past two seasons They are young and I dont know if they decide to get fat. Theres nothing I can do about that. If they continue the way they are, they will make it because they have great talent, theres no doubt about that.There is a coordinated effort from everybody to want to make this happen. Not just because it feels good, and it is nice to have a backbone the fans can relate to and support.But with the investment we are making and where we think the game is going and the competition that we have, you cant just buy your way out of trouble all the time. We have a philosophy in the academy to teach them to play the right way, the way we think a big team should play. And ultimately the only way they can play that gives them a chance to play for our first-team. Also See: Premier League video Fixtures Table Live on Sky Get Sky Sports Get a ￡10 free bet! ' ' '
