"After Tuesday's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, Warriors coach Don Nelson said he was "tired of not seeing any life" in center Andris Biedrins, adding, "This isn't the first time we haven't seen a light on at home."

Nelson didn't back off his comments after Wednesday's practice.

"He needs to light his own fire," Nelson said. "We play every other day. You can't light the fire for him every game. So that's up to him. Give us something.

"I mean, rebounding is one part of the game. You need more than that. Good defensive presence. The running skills. Good pick-setting. Good passing. We need a lot of things from our (centers) other than rebounding."

Nelson said he would give some of Biedrins' minutes to Development League call-up Chris Hunter.

Biedrins didn't argue with Nelson's harsh critique. He said his struggles began with the lower abdominal injury that forced him to miss 24 games between Nov. 8 and Dec. 28.

"I wouldn't say I've played like I did last year," Biedrins said. "It was kind of a hard time for me to come back from injury, and I was out for such a long time. Now, I think I lost a little part of my confidence.""
