NEW YORK -- Golden State Warriors President Robert Rowell, whoever this faceless, dubiously qualified phantom may be, was quoted last week contending his team has "under-achieved."

The locals identified this comment as Eric Musselman bashing.

Clearly, the second-year coach has been in serious job jeopardy from the moment he failed to form a deferential alliance during his debut with assistant GM Chris Mullin and Mike Dunleavy Jr.
