Game Thread #66: Los Angeles Lakers at Golden State Warriors - Kobe or MJ? Depends on your age

Tonyrobles_monta-kobe_medium

Warriors (W-L): 18-47

Lakers (W-L): 41-13

Tip Off: 7:30 Pacific Time

TV: ESPN

Radio: KNBR

Blog Buddy: Silver Screen and Roll

It's mid-March, the Warriors (18 wins) are the 3rd-worst team in the Association and the Lakers (18 losses) are on their romp to the Finals. The Lakers, on the road, are 8-point favorites and the over/under is 223.5. So, let me get the two biggies as it would pertain to a normal game preview out of the way: Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry? They struggle against the Lakers...

Curry has averaged 13.0 points on 34.8 percent shooting - including 2 of 16 from 3-point range - in the three games, while Ellis averaged 20.0 points in two games - 5.6 less than his team-leading average.

And secondly, Kobe Bryant is in town, on three days' rest. But do we really care about this game? Does it matter to us if Kobe scores 30, 40, fifty, against this Warriors defense? Against D-Leaguers (btw, kudos to Reggie Williams for getting his 2nd 10-day contract)? Nah, let's talk about something else. Something bigger. Something we might really care about.

So anyways, back on Friday, Kobe had his 7th game-winning shot this season, victimizing the Toronto Raptors. Of course, once I heard he had as many game-winners as the Nets have wins this year, I had to google around to see if he had as many career game-winning shots as Michael Jordan. The results seemed to conclude that Kobe has more game-winners than MJ, although I have not found the definitive blogpost anywhere, that would look like an indisputable, credible study. There are many forums out there that talk about this, and the discussion -- not that I'm bringing up anything that's revolutionary -- is quite divisive. With that, I present this poll which is the part of the thesis of this post (disguised as a game preview, as it were!)...

Star-divide

Why 34 years of age or older for this poll, you ask?

Well, here's my theory. MJ was born in 1963. By the time there was general consensus that he might be "out of this world", it was about the 1986-87 season, when he averaged 37.1 ppg and became the only player other than Wilt Chamberlain to score 3,000 total points in one season. This was the year before he ended up on the path towards getting beat up by the Bad Boys for three consecutive post-seasons. By the time he was unanimously accepted as a champion and not poo-poo'ed as a "ball hog", it was hugging his first trophy, after beating the Lakers in the 1991 Finals.

But being a mere champion versus being the Greatest Of All Time are different things. Unless you were a devout follower of MJ or the NBA, the realization that he could possibly be the G.O.A.T. could not have set in earlier than after MJ recorded his third straight title. After all, the Pistons had won two in a row prior to the Bulls' run of two in a row. People knew Isiah Thomas was great, but he certainly was not being considered the greatest point guard of all time, even after title number two.

At the same time, I would guesstimate that avid NBA followers start watching games intently and intelligently no earlier than age 16, if not, then 18 and maybe even more-so at age 20 assuming you went to college and spent your freshman and sophomore years adjusting to the rigors of higher academics, dorm life, and the like.

It should come as no surprise that such claims are heavily influenced by my own experiences. When I was sixteen, I was busy trying to make the varsity high school team. I liked how Magic Johnson played when I was a middle schooler, and I tried to emulate his dribbling and bullet passes, but really, how do you emulate that when no one's even taught you the fundamentals of how to play the game? Back in the day, the fundamentals were taught in high school.

So while MJ was tearing up the league at 37.1 per every other weeknight, we were busy in practice. He was certainly not on TV all that much -- hard to believe now, isn't it? So while I was 17, I knew what MJ could do having watched him drop 63 on the Celtics in the 1986 playoffs, but I wasn't necessarily watching him all the time. And even if there were such a thing as TNT back then, how could I possibly have the basketball knowledge to translate what he did on the court to what I did on the court? I couldn't intelligently process MJ. It wasn't until college when I had near-unlimited time at the university rec center, when the defending champion Bulls were on WGN, and when I could study the man's footwork and see how fundamentally sound he was. So, that's why I say, at age 20 you're probably ready to intelligently follow the NBA.

Therefore, doing the math, there is no way you could possibly comprehend MJ being the best ever, then relate that back to the years that you saw him play leading up to that, unless you were at least 16 years old by the end of the first three-peat, the 1992-93 season. That puts your birth year no later than 1976.

As I was researching this post, I started with that now-pivotal day: December 2nd, 1987. Not that I knew the exact date as I do now, but I knew what had happened that day. This is because other NBA stars would talk about it years later (someone, please YouTube that!), in VHS montages such as Come Fly With Me. I wish I could've seen this game live.

Incidentally, Phil Jackson was not his coach at the time -- it was Doug Collins. So whatever Phil has to say about MJ, remember, he didn't witness all of his amazing feats, particularly those that involved attacking the rim with almost reckless abandon.

Early in the game, MJ receives a post entry pass while John Stockton is guarding him. MJ spins around and immediately jams it before the help arrives. Someone in the stands says something to the effect of, "Pick on someone your own size!"

Later that half, MJ is on a fast break and posterizes 6'11" Mel Turpin, in similar style to what Vince Carter did to that 7-foot French guy. As he goes back on defense, MJ turns to the fan and says, "Is that big enough for you?"

So all of these things that Kobe does, I can't help but translate it back to MJ. Could Kobe have done that? Perhaps. I'm just not sure he has the showmanship. The ability to turn a detractor into a believer. I look at Kobe and everything he does, I know MJ could have done those things too. I watch highlights of MJ and I'm not so sure Kobe can do what MJ did.

As it turns out, YouTube led me to this longer nine-minute video of MJ highlights from that game against the Jazz. Made me miss him so much. And I really never saw any of his regular season games until the 1992-93 season, when WGN was thankfully part of the cable package...

But the thing that tips the scale is this studious rendition of the same game. By total happenstance, YouTube led me to this analysis of MJ, put in today's context of NBA rules, using the same footage from that game!. Excellent work, in my opinion...

To be fair, Kobe probably agrees with me. In fact, he's friends with MJ. GQ recently did a great interview with Kobe...

He doesn't give away much. Even when it comes to fairly innocuous info, he clams up. He won't say what he and his friend Michael Jordan talk about. ("That's sacred sh_t.") He won't let his personal trainer be interviewed. He won't divulge his special recipe for Cream of Wheat.

I do have reservations that the poll voting will obviously be skewed against Kobe, this being a Warriors blog and all. But for those of you who are making a rare visit to this site, please know that the Bay Area in general has plenty of Kobe fans. I run a weekend basketball league with over 100 teams and at least 50% of our people love him and have glowing things to say at the gym.

Well, I hope I've at least lit enough of a fire for you that we'll turn this here game thread into more than what it would've been otherwise?!...

Boy, if we somehow pull out a win

There will be great celebration in the Bay, guffaws will ripple through the rest of the NBA, and heads will roll in Laker land.

Yeah, right. They have size, we don’t. I expect Hunter to get few minutes again (unless it’s garbage time), so the Warriors can open up the paint. I expect this game to be over at halftime or midway into the 3rd.

Game Predictions
  • The Los Angeles Lakers defeat our Golden State Warriors, 118-107.
  • Monta Ellis leads the way with 27 points.
  • Anthony Tolliver hits a few three-point field goals.
  • Andrew Bynum posts a double-double.
  • Jordan Farmar has a monster dunk and five assists.
How do you think Morrow will do?

He gets the 71 points that weren’t scored by Monta or Tolliver.

you mean Curry will go scoreless

Farmar

Farmar isn’t going to do anything but turn the ball over.

LGW...still.

Morrow, Curry, Monta or CJ Watson will score 37 points tonight.

Lakers defeat us 115-37.

but go warriors still or something. so what.

So like...

The Roaracle has mysteriously disappeared.

oh. nevermind. Staples Center Bay Area has taken over.

Don’t trip, the Roaracle will be back in its place on Wednesday when we play the Hornets.

LGW.

sup Romes
waddup

going to the game or …

game threadin’ and watchin’ the game on the tube?

imma be at the game, pray for me lol
word man. Good luck.

if we get smashed on by like 37 points or more, just remember to not let your emotions get the best of you.

breathe in. breathe out.

(its not that serious)

Much as I adore Jordan, I think his claim to Unquestioned GoAT is probably a bit overstated. In my hoops-viewing lifetime, I’d probably rate him #1, but I’d group him in a Fab Four with Bird, Magic, and LeBron. And if we’re talking about impact on wins, I’d throw in Shaq, Hakeem and Duncan (though as big men, they kind of deserve a different category). Kobe’s pretty clearly the next tier down from that magnificent seven, imo — even if Gasol, Odom, and Bynum help him grab his 5th and 6th rings.

So yeah … mark me down for “I’m over 34 and I Heart MJ…”

ps

LGW … so what!!!!

LMFAO! yeeeeeaaah!

LGW! hi pibe!

LeBron hasn't done much in the league to warrant him in 1st Tier

Kobe is fringe 1st tier, but I’d have Duncan in that 1st tier possibly with Shaq. LeBron at this point in time (Early for his career) hasn’t warranted a spot up there over the games greats.

Much as I adore Jordan, I think his claim to Unquestioned GoAT is probably a bit overstated.

How dare you. I thought we were friends. Apparently not.

We have to have Russel and Chamberlain in the discussion.

Not even close brother...

Russell wins every time.

Okay so first things first.

MJ is unquestionably “the greatest” until further notice… or Kobe finishes his career with more championships, lesser players around him, and better competition, and more "Top Ten " type players going to the Hall Of Fame.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate on Kobe, and I’m not an uneducated basketball fan. Kobe could end up being a “Top Five Player” someday…but not yet;

Consider……..

Jordan played in a much tougher era, battled with incredible teams with incredible players, and played with less of a supporting cast, outside of Scottie Pippen, on his teams. I don’t think it is even realistic to compare the two because of the watered down teams, players, and the league getting really soft, in my opinion.

Secondly, if any of you want an excellent education and read about the NBA, you absolutely need to read “The Book Of Basketball” by Bill Simmons. You thought you knew hoops? Shit….i have been following the NBA for 30 years since the age of ten, and I’m still learning about all kinds of crazy shit!

Side note: If you do get the book, you will love the part about Vince Carter, and the part where he discusses “The Secret” with Isiah Thomas. Go Dubs!

Kobe could end up being a "Top Five Player" someday…but not yet;

I’m really not sure he can at this point. Too old, too many minutes, too far to go. Excellent player, but has always been overrated, just doesn’t produce enough to get into that conversation.

Also, can you elaborate on the Simmons book? I generally can’t stand Simmons, but heard things like “it’s the moneyball for basketball!” and other things that intrigued me. Picked it up in a bookstore one time and started reading through “The Secret” chapter, couldn’t get past a few pages. Really wasn’t doing it for me….but, I’d like to think I have an open mind….so make the case for it!

It's a great read but you have to be willing

to sink your teeth into it. Just wait till you get to the part of the “Pyramid” and Simmons ranking the top 95 ballplayers of all time, current to the times.
I love all the great info he provides and some of the references and footnotes are hilarious! Highly recommend it!

Under 34 and love Jordan

MJ all the way!

All this poll tells me is I’m old.

all it tells me is that there are 60 GSoMers, regardless of age, who have voted and are either kidding or very stupid

Lol, Did You Expect Anything Different In Your Vote Results?

One of those under-34 votes that pick Jordan over Kobe is none other than….Kobe! MJ is, so far, the all-time greatest.

The over-34 contingent is still pitching a Kobe-shutout, though Skeptic could change that…

Would love a win today even though I don't share the same hate towards LA as many of you.

Don’t see it happening though.

The poll.

Well now we know that despite being somewhat youthful, most of this site knows it’s basketball. ;-)

… or at least has this specific area of basketball figured out. Somehow “Jordan>Kobe” is one of the few areaa in which all the GSoM fringe movements (“Monta>Kobe”, “Kobe>LeBron”, “Steve Nash sucks,” “Al Jefferson rocks,” “gay marriage sucks” etc.) can come together. Kumbayaaa…

I still don't know why the mods allow political debates to rage on here...

Perhaps because Skeptic v. Naticus is high entertainment, at least for the first few hundred posts…

There are still many that voted otherwise haha

I’m actually shocked at the number that dont

Just want to throw something out there...Ellis-Curry-Williams

Just fantasizing for next year, but this trio has averaged 25+ points in every league that they have ever played in! Imagine if they gel together, with Ellis-Curry in the backcourt, going for 50 (at least) every game, and Williams at SF, capable of adding another 20-25, while taking some heat off the backcourt! With a good power forward and healthy center, they could run anyone to the ground, and beat them with the long ball as well. Hmmmm….could be awesome!

lol, i just saw the same post on ridiculous upside!!!
Fantasy is contagious...lol
Turner > Williams

Curry, Ellis, Turner sounds awesomer, and yes I know awesomer is not a word.

Sure it is.

Something that is more awesome than awesome but not awesome enough to be the awesomest.

I’ve heard handsomer and handsomest; is there any legit reason not to accept awesomer and awesomest?

If I remember right, if you have two syllables in a word, it’s a judgment call to use the “er” suffix or adding “more.” Both are correct.

Maybe, but sometimes one sounds correcter.

Clearly.

or is it clearlyer?

I must have missed where Williams passed Azubuike, Morrow, and Maggette (plus conceivably Turner, Johnson, or Aminu) on the SF depth chart. I mean, the .639 TS% is pretty, but can we let this guy get more than 7 NBA games under his belt before anointing him part of any future “trio”?

Just fantasizing , Sleepy...no offense intended

Some players, though, have done it at every level, so it is not all that far-fetched. You don’t need too much imagination…just watch them play. Curry led the NCAA in scoring, and people still had doubts! Williams led the NCAA twice in scoring, the D-Leaue in scoring, and some of us have no doubt that he cold ass kick butt when give the opportunity…lol Of course, he is currently, last on the SF depth chart…..lol

dont you remember last year after a similar sample size when we knew that Morrow was gonna be better than Ray Allen in his prime?

OK, Sounds good!

Ellis-Curry-Williams+Turner…..(Williams at SF is pure scorer, led the NCAA 2X, and D-league)….spell some relief off Curry-Ellis…. a triple-threat capable of 30 on any given night! Awesome!

Monta game winner anyone?

You are not a Warriors Fan if you think Kobe is awesome and/or better than Lebron James or Micheal Jordan.

Kobe is awesome; LeBron and Jordan are awesomer.

The latter two are much, much better.

Awesomer is awesomer than better.

but Jordan is the awesomest!

Kobe=awesome.
LeBron=awesomer.
MJ=awesomest.

I wouldnt

exactly call the lakers are blog buddies

Shannon Brown in a Dubs jersey?

hehehe

LGW!!

Shannon Brown … still sucks. He wishes he were half as good as Reggie Williams.

i’m more referring to fact the picture of steph looks like shannon brown

Ah, my bad. He does look vaguely retarded in the pic, which, in turn, makes him look more like Shannon Brown.

But Reggie Williams can’t dunk over Mikki Moore and get Faker Fans of their buttocks with their 20$ beer!

I’m going to Warriors Game, i’m scared it will be staples center, warriors version…. Suggestions to deal with rowdy Faker fans?

A politely smack to the face.

keep cheering for the warriors even when the score says otherwise.

and if we do somehow win… rub it in their faces… make sure you say “BoO yAh!” a bunch of times

Well, you know there are tons of Faker Fans when there are more people in the smirnoff club than there were in the playoffs….( like it was last year).

Suggestions to deal with rowdy Faker fans?

Pretty much all the “Zombieland” rules apply, I think…

• Cardio
• Double tap
• Beware of bathrooms
• Cast iron skillet
• Travel light
• Get a kickass partner
• Bowling Ball
• (Don’t) be a hero
• Limber up
• Avoid strip clubs
• When in doubt, know your way out
• The buddy system
• Check the back seat
• Enjoy the little things
• Swiss army knife

etc…..

you forgot always buckle up

Haha. I didn’t see how that applied at Staples. It’s certainly not as applicable “beware of bathrooms,” “when in doubt know your way out,” and “cast iron skillet”…

and “double tap”

Why be scared?

Were the same age and they dont really mess with someone like us. If they do just ignore them they just want attention

I am stting in Europe waiting for 0530, local time...

I wish I could be there with you….I stay up all night on game nights; tonight it is a 0530 AM game here, in the blue Med….that’s half of it…then, I have to patch through channelsurfing or some other internet site, and watch the game usually in slo-mo (no cable here)…during the course of the streaming broadcast, my German advertising friends will do all they can to disrupt the stream, so, more often than not, I will sit by aol fanhouse as the game winds down, waiting for 30 second updates….Go Warriors!

PREDICTIONS

- we get out boarded by at least 10
- pau and bynum each get a double double
- monta scores 24 and curry scores 23 with 7 assists
- kobe scores 35
- we lose 115-101

fantasizing...

Curry-Ellis go for 50, Williams for 20, Maggette-Morrow 25, Tolliver-Watson-Hunter 25,
-we win 120-115

OK, CALLED IT CLOSE, BUT NO CIGAR...

We got 121, not 120 (problem is they got 124, lol)…Let’s see how we did: Curry-Ellis did not go for 50, they got 42 (dreadful shooting night for Ellis; s—- happens)…..Williams did not play, but Hunter got 22 (Nellie played Williams 4 minutes/saved the rookie?)…. Maggette-Morrow did not get 25, they got 21 (Morrow didn’t get much time)…Tolliver(14)-Watson(9)-George (13) got 36!!!…and made up for everyone else. Heck for one lousy bounce on the rim, it might have been a different outcome…still, we gave the Lakers a run for their money.

Predictions:

-Warriors outrbounded
- Pau gets ejected for complaining too much
-Bynum struggles against the quicker Warriors
-Kobe struggles from the field
-Warriors win 108-100

I'm too in love with Evan Turner to care about the outcome of this game..

But a heap of my mates go for the Lakers, so bragging rights would be nice for once haha..

GO WARRIORS!

is this game both televised on ESPN and CSNbayarea?

which one do you guys prefer to watch when both are available?

I like JB’s color commentary, but Fitz can be annoying at times.

On ESPN, they’ll probably be biased towards the Lakers, but its interesting to see what the national telecasts think of the Warriors and the players.

Telecast

It will be on both channels, yes, and I’ll probably watch the local one.

but Fitz can be annoying at times.

Understatement of the year.

ESPN's breakdown of us

They love Steph, they like Monta, they are surprised about how many d leaguers we have, and usually were that other injured team other than portland even though were more hurt

they portray monta as if he’s a star because they just look at PPG. They think steph is the next nash, and that nellie is a good coach…they know nothing.
Marc Jackson and Fitz should both just shutup for once so i can enjoy a telecast.

I'm gonna watch the ESPN broadcast

But if they keep going on about the Lakers, I’m switching

but then fitz will go on about how monta is as good as kobe

LOL.. its a lose-lose situation

i was about to say that!

then you will say

trade Monta sraight up for Delonte West

haha i will.
to actually make discussion with you, would you do a West, Varajao, Powe for Monta, Turiaf?
I would…. don’t call me a hater, its a pretty reasonable trade.

Dumb trade

End of story. Don’t call you a hater when you are.

dont care

I’m a Warrior fan. I hate hearing all the praise about the Lakers

I want to see

Monta and Steph both have great games. Because im gonna be a lil" high and I don’t want to watch a borring game.

Hunter is gonna have a big game

4 points and 2 rebounds!!

Lame prediction

He’ll get 9 and 8.

He’s averaging 3.7 and 2.5 on the season, and can’t seem to find his way into Nellie’s regular rotation, despite the absence of Turiaf and AB.

What makes his crystal ball any lamer than yours?

When Hunger gets minutes

He produces maybe he won’t score as much, but he did have 8 rebounds against the Raptors in 15 minutes.

LMAO you said HUNGER!!!!
D'oh!

16 and 6 at the half! Paging BritWarrior…

he magically figured out how to play yesterday

Hunter’s +/- has been sporadic. He’s had some strong games with some strong stats and some really crappy games. So I don’t know. I’d like to see him play more consistently, before he gets the minutes necessary to get his numbers up.

what did paul pierce say into the camera?

I could not understand him. He said, “Welcome to the _

lets just hope kobe has one of those nights where he shoots 10%
but we all know the warriors bring the best out of people.
the lake show is 44-18

not 41-13

WARRIORS WILL WIN

the bay will celabrate another gsw win and stephen curry will have a triple double and fisher will be slow throughout the game and the GSW will win.

fisher will be slow throughout the game

This is absolutely true, but it’s equally true that Gasol, Odom and Bynum will be tall throughout the game.

Fisher actually did a good job on Curry last time..

Smothered him, Steph couldn’t do anything about it and had a terrible game …

Was that the first time he was defended by Fisher?
Fisher was flopping and sht :S

I suspect Curry has obsessed over that game and will come back stronger this time. It’s good to learn by doing.

Prediction

The Warriors play well enough to win the game but the referees decide they should lose.

The only things that can save us from this:
1) Monta hits a game winner
or
2) Dick Bavetta is reffing.

Hooray for the riff between gasol and Kobe.

I was watching the Lakers game last week (against the Heat or Magic) and in a close game, the last seven plays drawn up by the Zen Master had Kobe with the ball in his hands, running the offense, and not passing. I would be pissed too if I was Gasol. They pay him $17M just to get rebounds and watch Kobe?

Why do we have to be 34 to vote for MJ?

I pick MJ no doubt, but there is no choice. Whatever, I pick MJ anyways. I remember watching him when I was little when he played the Warriors a couple times, and I remember watching him in the playoffs and the finals in my velcro nikes, trying to be like mike. And of course you can’t forget Space Jam lol. Kobe has always tried to be like Mike. I could recognize that right when Kobe I first saw Kobe play. MJ is the greatest of all time and Kobe has modeled his game after Jordan, but will never be as good as MJ.

o never mind there is a choice

My bad. I should have looked at the poll better without just taking a glance.

There shouldn't even be any comparing going on

Kobe immitates Jordan’s moves and plays. It’s obvious to everyone. He doesn’t have his own identity. But I pick him as 2nd best. Guess who number 1 is.

100% agreed

Kobe has always been pretty much a wannabe. While he was younger he probably looked in the mirror and immitated Jordan everyday to try and perfect the immitation. That’s why I I have never really liked Kobe as one of my favorite players. When MJ came out of the league, I never drew to Kobe. I liked guys who were high fliers, but guys who had more of their own style like Tracy McGrady, Ray Allen, Vince Carter, KG, Duncan, Gary Payton, Grant Hill, etc. MJ is my favorite of all time no doubt. I never became a big fan of Kobe because he is a copy, plain and simple.

stupidest poll ever

I don’t care how old you are, if you voted for Kobe you should slap yourself.

Agreed

I’m 18, barely watched Jordan with the Bulls and I didn’t even have to think twice.

Damn, Indiana and Washington aren't far infront of us...

21 wins to our 18…

The Pistons, Knicks, Kings, Sixers are on 23 wins..

We better not go on some sort of winning streak!

Newsflash

Don Nelson’s wins are more important than the team’s lottery balls.

He's comin back next season anyways...

No matter what…….

Maybe

That is perhaps the case; however, if he gets the win record, we can just fire him. That could be just wishful thinking on my part.

we can just fire him

We can, but Cohan’s not gonna pay 2 coaches at one time!

don nelsons wins are more important than my balls
Just saw tony psd on espn.

Nice sign lol

LMAO TONNYYY!!!!
Wow, Nellie going big to try to match against the Lakers

they are switching everything
thx, just seemd strange to me that he was so close to kobe on the boards :/
somehow we can't beat the lakers on the rebounding side

despite our biggest lineup possible

Lakers bigs..

this is a pretty good game so far.
Great inside D!
next time he drives guranteed foul
wow, both ellis and curry 0-3
but everyone else 2-2
Hunter's a stud!
i think its time to turn back to CSN
there's no way we can sustain this for all 48 min
Especially if Curry and Monta are cold
So anyone got the over under on free throws for lakers tonight?
30

the refs won’t wanna look that bias during a nationally televised game!

they had no problem doing that to the kings in the playoffs

Need to get our backcourt going

Hunter needs to start more often
Fisher boo
no chance for hunter
i really don't like fisher

especially since he fell down on monta a few years ago

oh man

that’s twice hunter has tried to go for the deflection and gave bynum an easy dunk

tolliver ON FIRE out there
ME8 ----- TOLL
I am Laker killer!!!!!!!!!!
tolliver so so hot
stef to hunt
curry to hunter!

great play!

our back should just stop scoring
odom always hits his threes against us ugh

More like everyone always hits their threes against us

i am talking more about people who can;'t actually hit a three
wow bynum for 16 free throws tonight
monta knocks it free... odom with ft's
haha

that tolliver “that was a foul?” expression is priceless

what was that 4 steals in 5 seconds?
Hunter owned my prediction about him lol
How the hell was that not 3 seconds?
i hate the lakers fans in the building
it seems like there is more cheering when they score than when we do

kinda annoying

i hate the lakers fans in the building

ESPN juz said me8 an stef compliment each other well

let the war begin… plz dnt actually :/

god i hate FRONTRUNNERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

listen to that ugh i loved watching baron shut them all the hell up

Monta...

he gets really stubborn some times. and it usually ends bad for him

yep he tried to go like 1 on 4
Well

Well, he did learn that from the errr….best?

it's just too easy for the lakers
well duh lakers play good at home and this is like a home game for them
Well

This is a scheduled loss if there ever was one, I’ll be happy to stay competitive….

i will be happy to see phil jackson break his back getting off his high chair
Artest..

Not missing a shot like in 2k10 when he dropped 55 on me :@

haha wow I murder people with the warriors in that game
Nelson is proving why

He needs to be fired! Get Maggette on Bryant and pick up the second foul on Kobe.

so far

monta has been on the ball prolly around 60% of the time… :(

5 assists, im not complaining.
Warriors need to continue to attack

and hopefully the whistle will blow when they get fouled

Against the Lakers?

I like your optimism….unless Bavetta is reffing.

Err meant we dont have a chance with the refs unless it’s bavetta

Curry guarding Odom that time...whoops
Yeah wtf lol
Nellie prepping him for the 4th quarter

When he plays 4 guards and Curry will be guarding Odom.

everyone shooting 100% except for backcourt.
333333333333333333333333333333
morrow DOES NOT MISS
hit my first shot
curry what the hell
Great pass, MAggs
lmao nice brick pau
maggette on the fast break!

haha

wow no travel sigh
lol on Tim Roy(e?)

“Pau has been real quiet this game, he usually has 4-5 screams by now”

pau screams everytime he goes up

fianllyyyyyyyyy

monta finally gets a whistle on a drive
ellis finally gets a call
curry and ellis should just keep on getting assists for now
How many hours can Gasol stand in the paint

Without a 3 second call?

wow bryant clear out a little ref
argh, kobe boxed monta all the way out of bounds
Should have been an offensive foul
and just pushed off
2 for 1
No point if there 2.5 secs left.. lol

Monta is going into self-destruct mode.

yup the over 30 free throws is going to happen
These refs are playing favorites with Kobe
Monta and Kobe are starting to get into it...pretty physical
they usually get physical with each other
kobe gets physical with everybody

i wish someone would hit him in his mouth

raja bell clothlined him
closelined?

iono u know wut i mean :P

Matt Barnes almost did, but Kobe didn't even flinch. actually quite amazing lol
all he did was throw ball flinch in his face
He pretended to throw a ball at his head

I rather see Barnes clothesline Bryant into oblivion!

nice try, but that was too late, monta
yes let farmar ride monta the whole way
Sexy as finger roll.. .

Dayumm :(

Wierd, my back space and delete keys stopped working here. I can only delete words by highlighting and then typing over them. lol

That ad..

Is that the dude off yesman? lol

no

it’s the dude from flight of the conchords

Finally!

Link:

http://www.atdhe.net/15152/watch-los-angeles-lakers-vs-golden-state-warriors

was up before the game started.
Well

I checked atdhe and nothing worked, I even asked and no one gave a link

The NBA Where the Lakers can get away with Anything...

Happens!

3 Seconds the Lakers don’t do that. The Lakers don’t push off on rebounds either! They don’t push a defender out of the way to create space as well.

the NBA is built for them to win a Championship this year

i feel your pain though

No kidding. Hard to watch them get away with bumping the ball-handler the entire game.

curry to tolliver

tolliver great hesitation before putting it in

aww, that's a cute new pregame ritual
machine sighting
maggette terrific sneaky cut
monta good d
montas playing some nice D
tolliver got caught by surprise there

thought maggette would take the shot

stupid foul by morrow
pau can't shoot ft tonight
lol free throws all night
I'll take it if Gasol keeps missing
how come monta got no foul there? wierd
can we bring in reggie now
we are trying so hard
monta cold shooting
monta cold as ice
monta can't buy 1 today
monta cant get anything in
monta wide open clank
Nice 3
curry #3

that was bad transition defense, why is curry tracking down the guy after taking the shot?

we need to run a backdoor play for monta

or get him an open lane

let the one go stef
lol wait odom rapes curry after shot and they call one on curry lol

Refs know if curry gets going lakers might lose

wow no one helped curry on that
curry gonna get pulled out
GSWSCRIBE

Monta (0-7 FGs) is getting good looks, but my HS coach would tell him to get a lay-up or FTs to get going. Don’t just keep shooting Js

didnt he go for like 4 layups?
Steph never lets players just get the layup..

He always fouls lol

I'm waiting for monta to get hot
+37

Hi GTTM. go warriors

Hey Romes :)
hi ! =)

GOOOOO WARRRRIORSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Bring it Warrriors fans at the Roaracle. (not the Laker fans Pleeeeeeze!)

Warriors trying to win this one

Too bad the refs are the Tank Commander tonight

3 fouls. Put in CJ. Save Curry for later.

Catch fire A-Mo 22.

“Leeeehhh GOOOO”

Hang in there dubz. LGW (one of the 137 warrior fans at the Roaracle clap to this)

I don't think we can afford to take out steph
Just give Monta the ball LOOL
Cmon monta is good but not tonight so far lol
good passing though.

So he can brick some more?

It's time to bring in CJ and Reggie NOWW!!
Kobe will probs come in soon..

Reggie would get raped by Kobe lmao

reggie is going to crap his pants guarding kobe
meh.... give the guy a chance
well, we are only down 3
Yeah, all in all, we're fortunate to be this close

However, Lakers are just kind cruising, not to worried about the Warriors.

Lgw. Stop fouling guys
monta finally makes one, nice drive
Maggette a blur!!
just can't get a board
lol over the back is non existent
Rebound, D-Leaguers :(
foul pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

wow

speedy monta another drive to the rim
he forced that one
Kobe can't keep up with Monta
mark jackson saying we appreciate the warriors franchise yeah right just the team

refs are so good

WOW. theses refs are getting payed.
I hate Brown
i wish brown would go to the dunk contest again lol

george sighting

Good calls

cj great work setting up monta

monta way cold

helluva effort

from CJ

hahahaha

george froze himself out, still made the 3

lol George

“Wtf why am I so open?!? Ok I’ll take it”

lol

@ George’s legs shakin

Monta pls do something. I'm counting on you
just get 2 more assists
making plays, just cant get a bucket.
GEORGE BEASTIN
CJ sweet teardrop
wow bynum shoves cj

If it were the Lakers that would be a shooting foul

has reggie got into the game yet?
yea like 2 mins ago
he's in there now
oh gawd i need to pay better attention
lol and a off ball foul for pau
CJ

What a floater! haha

MAN

it sounds like there are so many Laker fans

cj just schooled fisher
Fisher

LOL!

YES! hate you fisher

CJJJ ANKLE BREAKER WATSON
cj making something out of nothing

tough shot

Ellis with 8 dimes

gonna have a monster 2nd half hopefully

I hope so too

He needs to see that Chiropractor that he saw at the blazers game

CJ owning the qtr
As long as...

We can keep the Lakers from playing any kind of D, we should be good haha

CJ aggressive!

I love youu!!!!

we are playing so hard tonight, the effort is there
CJ "The Quiet Storm" "KBLX" Watson with the instant offense.
Off topic:

Is it just because of Monta’s ankle that he doesn’t get up as high than years past? I miss his dunks.

could be

could also be season fatigue

I think his knee
he can still jump

he’d rather just do his lay ups.
hes a choosy dunker

he never really liked to dunked on people.

he was doing earlier in the season i seem to recall.

doubt it

he dunks if its open there have been times this year where hes duked in traffic. its prolly more natural or hi just to do a layup

dunk is overrated, you can hurt yourself more easily
too classy for a dunk.
Playoff teams wishing they had traded for CJ now

To be a Laker killer.

SUP WORLDBLEE!

CJ FOR 37 POINTS AND 7 STLS TONIGHT

Only 37???

Why you gotta harsh on CJ like that? ;-) Whattup, ROMES? How do you shorten your name? RdW?

Can Raja Bell be the next coach?
20 to 4 free throws in favor of la

and we may get lead

clear path wtf
CJ thieving odom!

clear path foul!

CJ playing excellent defense!
I now have a man-crush on CJ LOL
that's so clear clear path
yeah but its the lakers
i can just imagine what they talkin bout
can we really hook the warriors up?
come on, what's there to discuss
CJ needs to send Nellie a thank you present when he gets a good pay day over the summer.
OMG IS THAT THE SAME REFFROM THE NUGGEST GAME IN DENVER?

No wonder the FTS are lobsided

Does it make anyone else sick to hear these national announcers and broadcasters keep asking Curry about his father?

Despite the fact that he clearly has a place in the NBA, that’s all they are talking about. How many times can you answer the question, “what has your father taught you about playing in the NBA”.

How many times can you ask CJ, Hunter, Buike, etc about coming into the NBA from the d league?

exactly.

the Warriors narrative around the league is Injuries/ Dleague/ Steph’s Dad.

Well then again

When your team sucks, you can’t talk about the games you win hehehe

wow how is that not clear path lol
argh, they didn't give the clear path foul
wow refs realy
YUP SAME REF
IS Monta ESPN-phobic

Actually is monta national TV phobic? Can’t think of a good game on national tv for him

atlanta game
Cmon. Atlanta he sat during the run

and Curry was the man

lol

we traded belinelli to make room for morrow. Belinelli was a 1st rd pick of same exerience as AR

The game against Washington

He had 30 points

CJ is such a thief!
kick ball hti kobes foot

cj is awesomeeeeeeee

LAkers look rattled
wow, good defense actually
GEORGE WITH THE STEAL
george cleaning up the missed monta attempt
Hail yez!

i hear the ROARACLE!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU DUBZ FANS! DEFENSE! LGW! CLAP TO THI

KOBE PUSH OFF
yeah, lakers really rattled

kobe offensive foul!

LGW LGW LGW

Hate the Lakers.

monta doin

the dirty work

monta nice setup of george
YES

fisher finally gettin a call

ROARCLE IS BACK BABY!!!!!!!!!!!
finally

drownin faker fans out

I'm stuck with ESPN, but it does sound loud there tonight
Hahaha we gettin every call lol
dead fish got caught
omg!

We are getting calls!

I gotta say I love this team

No quit after an awful season. You gotta credit Nellie some

Front running Lakers fans getting caught up

And switching sides to the Warriors as long as they have the lead.

I like these refs.
They look just like the other refs

But they don’t suck.

Oh no, Curry isn't cheering on his teams getting the lead!

Trade him!!! Hahaha

/flamebait

what is fisher doing lol
cj a speed demon around fisher
Monta is hustlin and Skying high for boards
hunter midjumper! swish!
WHAAAAAAAT

hahahahahhahahah hunters crazy

what a terrific 1st half!
STOP WHINING KOBE
That's like telling a bear not to crap in the woods
Monta is energized now
YEAAA BABYY!!!!!

hahahahahaha

did hunter's rainbow shot go outside the camera frame?
yes it did!

CSN camera frame, anyway

That might have been a foul...

but I dont care at the moment :D

monta gets 1 last steal on kobe

15 TO lakers, warriors have 3

smashin us on the offensive glass tho
Chris Hunter has hit more jumpers this game than Biedrins has his whole career
biedrins has 0 so not hard to beat
I can't remember which game

But Beans ended up with the ball near halfcourt in the final seconds and let go with a heave, I kinda wish he made it lol!

ellis 8 assists, 4 steals, 1TO

only thing is his cold cold shooting.

sure i wish it was better but cant complain with the intangibles
he's hustling though

and he’s not hurting the team at all

Hunter 16 wtf lol
I was just about to say that LOL
Leading all scorers!

?!

really??? where was I?
we play with passion baby!!!!!!!!!!!
This feels good

To bad the Lakers will start playing defense in the 3rd and we’ll collapse

Or maybe we build a LEAD!

(Hopefully)

wtf hunter has 16 on the lakers omggggggg
Hunter > Bynum

tonight so far :)

Did u see Phil Jackson on ESPN..not a care in the world lol
He's about to make a phone call to Dick Bavetta

All will be figured

Nellie loves Tolliver

The new Tom Tolbert

monta and steph do nothing first half..

and d-league all stars(warriors) > nba allstars(lakers)

LMAO LETS GOO !!!!!
Hunter and Tolliver

combining for 27….whoever was fantasizing about them combining for 25…good prediction! lol

Kobe's face was hilarious...

… and I couldn’t even see it!

Kobe

tell me how my…

If we win I'll seriously breakdown in tears of joy

Who’s with me!!!!!

Hunter

Awesome! Time for Curry and Ellis to heat up in the scond half.

1st half recap

- monta other than shooting has played great, good defense, getting into with kobe and good passing
- steph was playing well, avoid fouls
- i love cj watson and hunter
- these refs suck

?

This is the first time we actually get calls vs a playoff team.

ft advantage is huge
kobe with 5 tos
kobe with 5 tos
Monta playing him hard..should be interesting watching them go at in the 2nd half
And Monta will come out the victor but Kobe might pull some strings

And things might change O_o

Awesome first half!

Hunter had the best offensive hlf of any of our centers all year. If he keeps it up, maybe he can be a guy that we can rely on down low for points.

he airballed a lay up lol

Derek Fisher
15 minutes
0 points
1 rebound
1 assist
0 steals
2 fouls

I’m pretty sure I could put up that line if you put me in for 15 minutes. Is there a more ineffectual player in the NBA?

Fisher is nothing

When he doesn’t get his flops and can’t catch and shoot

im not even 18 and i could at least get a couple assist playing with kobe

maybe hit a shot or 2

so you're saying you can get a rebound????

I’m gonna assume you could get an assist by default

anyone else watching the sportscience halftime show on espn360?

lol this is sick

I don't think monta can shoot any worse in the 2nd half than he is now

So he should be a lot better, he’s have a Jackson kind of shooting night, though he is playmaking.

GSWSCRIBE AND WARRIORSWORLD

Monta is really into mentally tonight @warriorsworld Monta and Kobe really going at it

he's not letting his offensive woes effect his defense though

he deserves some credit for that atleast

trust me

were saying this now until after the game when the usual suspects come back to try to start a fight

so WW869009442 begins lol
I have been watching Monta even away from the ball...he is playing very hard. He is getting under Kobe's skin
this this and 100000 times this
Like I said before

Everyone loves beating the Lakers :)

We're lucky Lakers missed a lot of free throws..

Didn’t shoot it great, turned it over heaps..

Not trying to be a party pooper, but we’ll have to play even better the next half if we have a chance in winning…

GO WARRIORS!

Lakers are overrated
?

Don’t know about that, have a good chance to repeat thats for sure

No the Lakers are overrated

They won’t repeat

The fans are overrated too

I’m listening to the game on the radio…who is doing the announcing for ESPN?

Good first half, but it the Warriors end up winning, I'll be legitimately surprised
If the Lakers

Continue to refuse to play D, we just might :)

I fully expect them to lock it down for the 3QC though

Mark Jackson is the analyst..not sure who the play by play guy is
I assume it's mike breen
No

It’s not him. It’s Kevin Calabro.

I think u got it
Ok, I have no clue LOL
hah

and i just guessed because mike and mark usually work together, along with jeff van gundy

anyway whoever they are, they are actually calling a good game. Giving our team and fans lots of credit
warriors shooting 65% if u take away monta's 2-13

everyone else is really stepping it up tonight

LGW! (clap to this) LGW!

GOOOOO WARRRRIORSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Bring it Warrriors fans at the Roaracle. (not the Laker fans Pleeeeeeze!)

LGW!

el gee dub!

el gee dub!

We GOT THIS! NO MERCEY!

Really, if we win tonite,

it ll be the best W in the last 2 + seasons

My Name is AWESOME!
LGW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LGWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
CHRISCOHAN twiitter (not real)

Kobe working on the triple double: 5 TO, 12 PTS, 7 hissy fits. Monta Ellis working hard on D.

+1, he just needs some techs
all kinds of charactors are coming one to our board tonight
another kobe turnover!
i know my name is tight
curry to monta back to curry
a beautiful thing

That seemed like a slow break for Warriors standards

curry great look to a baseline maggette
Curry great pass
great maggette is trying to shoot jumpers..

we lose

good defense by monta

i know my name is tight!!!!

hahahaha

curry looked around to look like he was going to pass, fires the 3, bang!

Mark Jackson is loving Curry
hunter great pass ahead!
HUNTER an STEF
that's a superstar call
i saw all ball
i know my name is tight
dude u said that like 10 times..stop
Refs tiring of Kobe complaining

They trying to appease him

referees lick kobe's vagina
dude this is a family show..or website
Look at his name

What did you expect?

Tolliver

has gotta take his time with that

lol bynum the selfish guy he is

puts up his finger after the tip to make sure he gets points

I wanna punch Bynum in his surgically repaired knee
i wanna kick kobe's vagina
he was mia in there titile run last year
the size is killing us again
Wtf is happening Nba tv is not playing it neither ar ethe streams
u dont live in bay area or have cable
NBA.tv doesn't have it because it's on ESPN
Lakers deciding to pack it on

Steph Curry = Rookie of the year

monta is stone cold tonight
sometimes stones can be hot. Such stones used for camp fires or lavarocks.
we win if monta wakes up
Monta is not sleeping or else he'd be in bed
Monta making an effort passing and playing D

Now to find his offense

lol kobe mugs hunter
warriors collapse right on schedule
3rd quarter collapse
we are cold now
Get in his face!!!!1
Uh-oh

same old same old coming our way

wow monta no call sweet
monta is not getting any love from the refs

Maggs taking early jumpers = 3QC

Corey's two Js

Have been when he was wide open. He has to take those shots. It just sucks that he missed them both.

kobe mocks ref and no t
because refs like black people
i didn't think the good first half would last
Lakers stepped up on D and stopped the pick and rolls

3QC is now in full effect

calm it down a little

we still got this

great play curry to maggette
we need to go @ their bigs

get them in foul trouble or something

why are the lakers getting home court calls on our court?
it seems like the fakers have scored on their last 8 or something possesions

time for a stop

Its time for Monta to keep attacking the basket
+1

time to go @ em

Huh?

I hate Fisher

He needs to win his grammy award already

Looks like Maggette took a shot at Fisher
that's a no call at best
how do you not stop fisher's drive?
nice help defense there

why are we letting Fisher drive straight through us?

monta to curry yessssssssss
3333333333333
monta to curry on the fast break!
nnamdi asomogha was sitting behind the warriors bench..

put him in i bet he could D up kobe

LOL!

i was thinkin the same thing, smack him around a little

that will work lol
curry is a bamf
curry, what are you doing fouling fisher?
I didn't see no foul.
thats CJ not morrow
Steph..

Wrong fouls at the wrong time.. All the time.. lol

STUPID REFS LIKE JACK NICHOLSON'S JUNK IN HIS PANTS!
taking him out?

that is questionable

Bad Call

He didn’t touch him.

something's wrong with monta

never seen him this cold before

he is doing everything else right that is the problem
Lakers Scoring with ease

Warriors need to work every possession

No flow without Curry
HAILLLLL YAAAAAA ROARACLE!!! I HEAR YOU!

KEEP IT UP!

WE DONT EVER GIVE UP!!!

LETS GO WARRIORS!

(clap to this ROARACLE.)

CJ WATSON CH MORROW CURRY!!! BRING IT!~

CJ over odom, wow
KOBE FN SMACKED HIM
LGW LGW LGW!!!!!!!!!!!!

(dont ever give up by the way.)

be quiet kobe, you travelled
of course kobe gets the call, but CJ doesn't
Kobe was expecting to coast this game...not so fast
ok bye GSOM computer lag.

LGW !!!

CLAP TO THIS!

LGW!

DONT EVER GIVE UP ROARACLE!!!!!!

i hate when cj thinks hes lebron

YOUR A POINT GUARD PASS THE BALL

hes not much of a playmaker

I honestly think he’s a shooter that Nellie’s trying to pass off as a point guard

i dont even consider him to be a point guard

hes so damn out of control

monta great harrassing on kobe there
yep
Having a poor offensive night but he is still playing hard on D
Good Defense Monta
great d monta

we win if he can score in the 4th, get to the rim

Gotta sit Monta for Curry right now
i say sit him is kobe does, otherwise keep him in
that was a horrible quater but were still only down 7

im actually hopeful

Ellis smothering KOBE

Nice!! Just don’t shoot lmao

monta's gonna start hitting in the 4th

i can feel it

i hope so

we’ll need it

no he wont, hes not clutch. Curry steppin up
Again, aren't you a Cavs fan?
where is MDB??

I’m surprised I didn’t hear any Monta bashing from him or is he at the game.

he's at the game

bashing him from his seat

oh no wonder

can’t wait to hear what he says when he get here

he'll blame monta's shooting for the reason why we lost the game

he’ll totally ignore everything else monta does

yea i figure that

he’ll probably praise Maggs

to be fair, monta should have stopped shooting about10 misses ago
sometimes monta has to take the shot

when nobody else has anything going on a possession

yeah, sometimes

but it seems like at least half the time he’s trying to force a drive or takes a bad shot when there’s someone he can pass to

i guess he has to keep taking them

so he doesn’t let the opponent know he’s off. If he starts deferring, the defense can sense that.

i think they realize he's like 2-18
i hate bickering with him so much
Same
it usually ruins my nights :/
then don't

i ignore him. he doesn’t say anything worth responding to

i think i read a post saying he was at the game

otherwise, he would def be bashing

hes prolly there getting ready to come back and bash his shooting

its become the norm, also no revernd randy

time for ammo to heat up
Why don't you haters go back to your own teams blog?
why would you sit Curry right now
uncle george from long range!
George..big shot
devean george

goin hard against his old team

argh, monta should have passed to george in the corner
omg MONTA you ruin this night
wow, monta hasn't reseted yet

until now

Ouch

that’s why you wear a cup lol

curry working through the defense
morrow blocked
He got punked

His release is not too fast, it’s the only problem with his shot.

lol he does everything kind of slow
His shot is slow?

Not sure what your watching

uncle george from the corner!
boom shakalaka!
George is our Superstah
I really hate the fact that Morrow is one dimensional
Uncle George!!!!
GEORGE LOOKING GREAT
devean george!!

finally doing something with his life!

That's scandolous!

haha

George is feeling it!
Where are these middle school kids coming from?

Go do your homework.

im actually doing my hw rite now lol

while watching the game

high school now :P

im procastinating :D

It's Spring Break where I live :-D
he is mexican and a laker fan seriosuly what can you expect oh

not being racist .. it is just true.

my girl is mexican but she not a laker loser fan

Monta and Curry completely switched roles this game
Since when has Curry been a Kobe stopper?

Monta is defending Kobe better than any other Warrior in a very long time

I'mma be scared

When Kobe & Pau come back in lol

oh yeah i fuly expect to hear alot of whistle action
i havent seen a warrior this cold since..

corey maggette missed like 20 straight shots against the rockets, which blew us the game

omg man 46 rebound to 18
LOL

lucky they turned it over heaps

what?
rebounds

lakers – 46
warriors – 18

and we are still in thi
Those NBA commericials

GET A DEFENSIVE REBOUND
LGW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Far out..

Great D George… REBOUND SOMEONE

Outrebounded 46 to 18

and we are in this game, there’s just no reason lol

Curry

looking like Davis with that quick 3 from the top

rofly Nnamdi asamugha
oooh, tolliver, i was about to laugh but what a play
Booo tolliver.
boom tolliver
tolliver taking the contact, AAAAND the basket!

that’s a great finish

Tolliver finishing?!
tolliver

looked like he was gonna dunk on him haha he thought better

Marc JAckson LOVES Curry
Tolliver and Curry...huge play
Great pass

from Monta right there. Better finish from Tolliver.

Tolliver

that was tight! War Creighton Blue Jays like Kyle Korver!

MOMENTUM!!!!!!!!
replay please

was that a foul on tolliver?

why would u ever leave your feet to contest Fisher???

Tolliver. Geez

These

refs are ridiculous…

Maggs never showin up late in games.. lol
maggette got messed up

he was trying to draw a foul, defender backed off, maggette lost his balance

shitty shitty call

wow

maggate CURRY WAS WIDE OPEN
Fisher

who you Warriors had and who I loved in Utah, is in reality, a tool. Mark Jackson gets it. That was a sucky call. Jackson=ESPN’s best color analyst. Jalen Rose=ESPN’s best NBA analyst, FYI.

i swear the warriors have a home court disadvantage
once pau comes back in...

where f’d

Ron Artest is clipping his nails
Yep.. Maggs never showing up
hunter got away with a foul on bynum on that rebound
think that was the no call to make up for the bad call on tolliver
maggette great save on the floor
Curry

SO CLOSE

of course kobe gets the foul call
Quit talkin Kobe..

Jerk

that's a generous continuation call for kobe, too
I was thinking that..

There was no foul in the air..

That didn't look like a foul :S
i think it was on the body bump on the drive

no way that’s continuation, though

I hate Kobe, so, so much.

Is Monta really shooting 2-20 ????

lol

man, that sounds even worse now…he’s had a real bad shooting night, for some reason kept going back to his jumper for most of his looks even though it wasn’t falling, but he’s had a good game in all the other ways (besides rebounding)

didn't maggette get the same bump on the other end?!
Maggs forced his shot more...
maggs has been gettin destroyed on his drives and gets 0 calls.
Maggs isn't in all the NBA ads
Unwar

Lakers “fans” in the stands. Lakers fans are about as real as artificial Christmas trees.

What lame contact for a foul, and Maggs get way more that last possesion and nothing

Tolliver is good for a D leaguer

But I hate the way he plays, I hope AR and Wright are back next season and this guy is gone.

he can stay since those two are pretty fragile
A's Seahawks, Warrriors

fans are every bit as cool as Broncos, Mavericks, Orioles fans. Just saying…

These calls are so unbalanced...

Bynum is getting close to having as many rebounds as our team lol!

time for monta to step up
we need another center from the d-league
LOL @ CURRY WORKING AT SAFEWAY

he really looked like he should work there little kiddie

Safeways

are the best supermarkets anywhere. On my Mormon mission in Tucson, I bought the duck-shaped cheese crackers all the time.

Nellie sounds ALIVE
Nellie is COACHING!!!!!!!
that brown 3 hurts

but curry gets it back!

Steph says UP YOURS BROWN!
wow, kobe in monta's face

ouch

here goes kobe

being kobe..

dammit hunter. Ruining a sexy pass
pass was sick
damn

randolph woulda spiked that bad boy

or bwright....or turiaf....or biedrins

f*cking injurys

Randolph would have thrown that down, definitely
Hunter??? have to put that down
Game's over, ugh....
Pau

the Royal Flush. I don’t think the Warriors are dead yet, but the Lakers, as much as I despise them, know how to finish in the 4th. Screw em

that pass was sick by Curry
behind the back left? wow!
And thats ythe ball game..

Hunter gets blocked at the rim too much..

yeah i was wrong

Lakers definitely aren’t going to repeat this year, they soft like jello son

Except

Jell-O’s a lot better, especially Jell-O pudding pops. War vanilla Jell-O pudding pops!

god...i hate the lakers so much

and all the faker fans…its insane….

don’t know how these people have the nerve to even be called fans

i didnt really realize how bad i hated them till tonight

after that dunk seeing half the ppl in the crowd standing with their hands off pisses me off

and cheers whenever a faker hits a FT

Outrebounded by 30+ and counting, and we aren’t blown out, I call that a win! :D

Good game by the W's

One big man at a time could not defend/rebound against the Lakers.

What has Maggs done in the 4th?

Nothing, as usual…. Get rid of him this offseason

Hinduuuuuuuuuuuuu
Curry's Stats

are better than Kobe’s. Plus, he’s a better human being by far.

RICKY HENDERSON SIGHTING!!
He's Still

mocking Lou Brock. Keep it classy Ricky!

lmao

hindu’s the man

maggette not getting any calls

refs hating on maggette there

Maggs stuffing up again...

lol

Nice feed by Curry
there is time left
there was time now.
just can't get a rebound
anyone else think that pau looks that a creepy european rapist...for some reason the scraggyness just seems so nappy and creepy
Should be on "To Catch a Predator"
He's the NBA's

version of Jake Plummer. All hail Pau the pedophile with the creepy stache

Rebound... lol :(
I don't know why I watch Warriors-Lakers

I always just get angry when it ends and the fans start cheering for the Lakers

Bandwagon jumpers jumped back onto LA
nice pass monta to hunter
hahah @ Espn

keep screwin our d league all star names up

lol

at fisher/brown hahahahhahahahhahahah

haha that was so worth not getting the fast break
that was a dangerous curry pass

i wouldn’t have risked it at this point in the game

curry great move through the defense
Curry

is a player I’ll tell my grandkids about. If they ask about Showbe, I’ll tell them Bryant was a scumbag who got all the calls he didn’t deserve

We need a 3!
Turner could be a good addition

but remember, still got bukie who was on his way to havin a dope season

lakers letting up just a little bit
Lol, Radnich in the crowd
I Went To College

with Radunich’s son, Doug.

Hunter going nuts with Curry

Man I wish we had AR and Wright on the floor

33333333333333333333333333
monta CLUTCH 3!

great defense on kobe!

2 Point Game

hell’s bell’s the Warriors can win this!

HAHAHAHA YEAA!
Warriors, sucking us back in....

just so we can get disappointed again

The day in the life of a Warriors fan lol

Yeah, definitely.
Pessmimist much?
No, a realist.

If the Warriors win, I’ll run down my street naked.*

*Not really.

WHOOO

Great game. Even though we’re going to lose lol

We should be losing by 25+

woww why my stream dies at the most intense moment.
kobe got owned right there
i would never let a dude named Shannon eat at my dinner table

or sasha

I hate Brown!!!

As if he made both… He looked nervous as! :@

This is when we need Jamal Crawford back,

For his 4 point plays haha

man that would be nice
monta has had some clutch d and steals tonight

also i think we should resign hunter now

Showbe

way to stay classy by punching the chair, tool.

So Close

to a tie. Monta’s gamble nearly pays off.

damn so close to getting that steal
Damn, Monta, almost
Ooohhh Ellis nearly snatched that haha
oooooooooooooooooooo
kobe missed his 1st FT!
hahahahaha Kobe miss
Showbe

=CHOKE ARTIST! HA!

KOBES NOT CLUTCH!
1 more come on
We need a hero
He's Got To Be Fast

and he’s got to be strong and he’s got to be fit for the fight.

Warriors call a timeout in the final 10 seconds? What's going on?
Argh, The Warriors are really, really trying to get to me this time....
4 point play!!!!!!!!!!!
Overtime

Please!

outrebounded by 32, and we are down 3, wow!!!!!!!!!
Curry game tier on national TV

my fingers and toes are crossed right now.

we never give up
Kobe is probably going to guard Curry
whoever shoots

better not have their foot on the line

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
awwwwwwwww

sooooooooo close

Wow...oh my god.
Warriors keep fightin'

Awwwwww. oh wells

Commish

Stern manipulated that rim. I will swear in blood he did.

SO CLOSE!

dangit

Laughing his crapping shooting as off..

had morrow

WIDE OPEN

+1

wide open. darnit monta that’s why he was on the floor…

damn

right on target too, hella close

Ellis should have passed that to Morrow
hard to see that

literally seconds

i don't think monta had time to check

or risk it

Morrow was open

No one ever sees Morrow when he’s wide open though

He wasn't spotted up at the 3 point line

When Monta was looking to pass. By the time he got there, Monta was ready to shoot. Couldn’t take the time for a pass because the clock might run out.

Yes he was

I watched the highlights again and he was ready at the 3 point spot. Monta had plenty of time to pass that to a wide open Morrow, but decided to take a fadeaway 3…

monta should have just done an over the shoulder trick shot
Aw, still a good game

LGW. Laters!

Showbe

you lucky piece of trash. The basketball gods smile upon you far too much.

JOHN WALL

tanking plan is working prefectly

And you call yourself a Warriors fan...
Considering how clutch Curry is can't believe he missed that
I thought that shot was in for sure
Mmm Kobe

Subtlely insulting our team.

haha

I heard that too.

Replay..u guys are right. Morrow was wide open..Oh well, they played hard. Fun game to watch
WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
currys shot was right on line, just a little deep thought it was good

and when monta ’s shot fell out from the angle i thought it was good

i bet espn was stoked to have that game after the blowout in game 1
Well

with the Warriors, the game’s NEVER over. Thanks for an entertaining evening!

Personally, i think we would have lost in OT anyway
yeah with fatigue
I though Monta had that
I blame

the AC. It blew it out.

Well heck

Lakers shoot 56%-48%FG, 42-13 FTA, 56-25 rebounds but we stay in the game with 14-4 TO differential

Hahaha no way the Lakers repeat

My heart literally stopped like 4 seconds.
maybe call a timeout when monta gets the rebound?
did we have any left
i think we did

but if we calla timeout with 2 or 3 seconds, Lakers can foul and stop the 3

that's true, the best shot was right there
Nothing to be ashamed about in that one
this game pushed me to the edge

this felt like a game 7 playoff game for me. im literally on the verge of going into tears i wanted this so badly. this symbolizes the last 2 seasons. it just hit me and hit me hard. i havent felt this bad since we were knocked out the playoffs omfg fml

feel the pain...

I couldn’t take it anymore and decided to cry and leave.

heh

you haven’t suffered long enough to get used to the heartbreaks

but throughout the monta/steph war and how hard ive fought on my side

throughout the game it was in the back of my mind that this game shows they can work, and i know if we won this game all of the war would start to die down. but now people will just whine about him nit hitting ammo or steph AND as a team all weve been through with all our callups, poor coaching, managment, injuries and effort for it to end like that… it hit me harder than anything since 2007

If people put the final score aside they will notice

Being idealistic though

problem is

a lot of people on GSOM will continue there own way no matter what, some refuse to change and thats what bothers me. i love this site but sometimes when i see certain users make the comments they do it really hits a cord with me that brings up hate. i have to hold myself back so much from actualy imploding on here

there's only so much you can do in changing other people's mind

Focus on yourself, make your own opinion solid and respectable. That’s what you should spend your energy on.

i know and i try to think postitvely

its just tough to see how ignorant some are, people are holding grudges on here and the site is getting torn apart because of it

Well, all you can do is point things out

and if they don’t get it, then they don’t get it. Their grudges and their points of view are out of your direct control.

too true

im just sad when people act like this it brings down the site, like we didnt have this was last year and that was the year i really fell in love with the site everyone was together. now.. not so much

No, htat’s what YOU should spend your time doing. heh heh

curry's line

check it out, had a damned good game, started off so slow too

Great game, espn needs to have more warrior games!!!!!!!!
Probably next year

Curry is too famous to not show him, even if he’s on a losing team.

Hell, he's fun to watch on a losing team, let alone if there is any semblance of success next year
What do you learn from playing a game like this?

Not much. Aw, thanks Kobe.

wow. I knew Ellis was selfish, but passing up an open Morrow (one of the best 3 ball shooters in the world) on that last play was something else.

P.S
Stephen Curry P.E.R = 15.

I think it was more of an instinctive get to the line and shoot thing

Wasn’t thinking of anything else

theres no way u can expect him to see that with 2 seconds left...im sure only thought was getting to the 3 line and heaving
Well, if Nellie actually does coach

He’ll beat it into him when they view the tape

Of course, on tape that's one thing that Nellie will want to point out

But it’s a matter of hindsight being 20/20

yeah

I don’t expect monta to check if morrow is open, if a defender is anywhere near him, or if any defender is near the passing lane all in the matter of a split second, with the clock running down.

+1

if he did pass it, and it got jacked, the argument would be different right now, a lot goes into making that kind of pass, im glad he used his instincts to shoot, almost hit it too

Exactly, it's purely a reactionary thing
I beg to differ

Looked to me like he made a great play but the shot just didn’t fall. Grabbed an offense rebound with 3 Lakers closer to the basket, did NOT throw up a useless 2, raced to a wide-open spot behind the 3 pt line and threw up a shot dead on line that bounced 4 times before it trickled off with no time on the clock. You wanted him to slow down, look to see if anyone is open, give the defense time to react, etc.? I don’t think so.

Monta

except for the horrible shooting night.

11 assists, 5 steals, and only 1 turnover.

Sportscenter just said Monta had a night to forget. Typical ESPN not seeing the whole picture.

He was 5/87 (or something to that effect). Also, we didn’t win.

He played incredible tonight, other than his shooting. Shooting is not everything

But that was a lot of shooting. Granted, he did everything else well. Fantastic, in fact. But overall, it was mediocre.

lots of shots..agreed but it wasn't 87 lol

Well, I am prone to gross hyperbole. Just trying to drive the point home. heh heh

5/23 for the record
he was far better than mediocre

For him, it was very mediocre. You can’t miss that many shots and claim to have had a great game. It wasn’t bad, at least. I’m not unhappy with him, really. I just can’t say it was a good game.

the passing and defense more than make up for it

So you’re saying it was a bit above mediocre. That’s a valid claim. Like I said, I’m not unhappy with him. I love good defense and passing.

I want to make a WNBA joke
i know what your saying

i thought he played great regardless of shooting, also he was very clutch

We demand u take the mediocre label off of Monta for this game...His offense was mediocre. how about that?
I watched Ellis fight Kobe tooth and nail all night long. Kobe was frustrated
Ellis

11 assists, 5 steals, great defense

lol

same time

great minds and all that
Who says Monta and Curry can't play on the same team?

Monta is a very good compliment to Curry’s floor game. If only he got more foul calls.

believe me

you’re preaching to the choir. Amen!

Ellis-Curry can work

Just means we need at least one dominant guy in the front, is it AR or Wright? We have no idea

Kobe is such a cocky dude

He acted like this game was nothing and like the Lakers were going to win all along. Trying to demean the Warriors becuase they play fast. He’s just mad because he got outshined by Curry.

and monta aboslutly harressed him

hopefully other teams will take note on how monta played on him and can shut him down in the playoffs

That would be awesome to see Bramdon Roy or Durant just whoop on Kobe in the first or second round and eliminate his cocky self
How to beat Lakers

1. Play fast
2. Don’t turn the ball over
3. Make Kobe work
4. Don’t get outrebounded by 31.

#4 is mildly important

Just a little bit

On every other team #4 would be a HUGE deal. Here it seems more ho-hum than shocking…

kobe is an A**
I hit my keyboard so hard

My A,S,and D pads are all over my room and i cant find em :(

how did u type the A?

and S and D?

On screen keyboard?
i used a pencil to push on the open space left out

LOL ghetto!!

props on the MacGuyvering of the keyboard
much needed credibility

Wow. Definition of a hard-fought loss. Painful medicine, but really the best-case scenario.

Curry’s last two games…

64 points (14-23 2fg, 10-17 3fg)
11 rebounds
19 assists
5 steals
2 turnovers
+ heaping amounts of outrageous ballwashing by the Toronto and ESPN announcers.

How do you like me now, o-n-l-x-n? ;-)

I thought Ellis’s last shot was great. Clutch rebound and great attempt. It was one of his best last second tries ever.

I agree. Didn’t mean to deprive Monta of love. Besides shooting horribly, he played a fantastic game.

I take my frustrations out...

on the pillow,like any man would!

Why are you frustrated?

Curry is only going to get better. All of our injured players are coming back next year and we’ll probably get a top 3 draft pick. The future is bright.

Agreed

Looks at how Hunter was tearing it up on the pick and roll with Curry, AR and Wright must be salivating at what they can do with Curry

dubz

had 5 turnovers TOTAL. if we had ONE player in there to grab some defensive boards the game could have been a lot different with the crappiness the lakers brought tonight

We're playing how the Suns used to

Just play so fast that you can’t make a playmaking mistake. Curry as point really helps us.

im sorry but this puts to rest the monta/curry thing in my mind

they can obviously work and monta guarded kobe incredibly well and it shows he CN guard 2’s. if he shot like how he did the last 2 minutes we win this

If he hits 30% of his shots, we win this… :,-(

or if he shot 40% or even 30% we win
i am actually feeling a lot more optimistic now...idk if thats a good thing haha

but the last couple games with curry handling and monta off ball have been alot better

Isn't this what we have wanted all along?

Monta rocks playing the 2. However, you can see that he cannot jump as high as he used to in that alley-oop play and the tip-in attempt.

he can still jump
11 assists!

At the 2, it’s great progress

19 dimes, 2 turnovers from our point guard the last two games (oh, and 64 points…)

yep

and only 1 TO between the two of them!

The Warriors would have won this game if they had another healthy big or two

These last couple games can give us some hope heading towards the end of the season, and it shows that they are a playoff team when healthy.

were all of elllis steals from kobe?
I really wish you all had won...

thanks for at least making the L@kers look bad. Valiant effort. I kept thinking if you just had one reliable big man

Imagine if we had a player with Gasol's size and skillset

Championship baby!

Well...

He’s not getting along so well with Kobe these days…anything’s possible

That isn’t.

didn't gasol just get extended on his contract?

he’s stuck in LA for a while

I was thinking Nate Thurmond or Ben Wallace or even Reggie Evans

just to cut down on 2nd chance points

I hope the Blazers whoop them in the first round
i actually think this is a game monta should look at and feel good about

 as long as he knows that his shooting is better than that, everything else was great
10+ assists, 1 to, and great defense

Monta looked pretty happy today

It was a fun game and he will probably make note of how well the team is doing in the locker room interviews.

yea he did look enthusiastic

We almost won, he frustrated Kobe (which will make anyone happy), and we don’t risk losing ping pong balls. Not too shabby.

It shows that even if his shooting is off that he can contribute in other ways on the floor

11 dimes in nothing to sneeze at.

Great D but Kobe still managed to score 28 on 50% shooting
kobe had 9 tos, many of which lead to points

Monta has to feel good about the ones he caused. That’s good stuff.

I liked the one where he basically stepped over kobe to get the ball

that was sweet, and then went the other way and hit a 3.

LOL We all liked that, tolly. We all did.

yeah but ill take that with the 9 turnovers

cas that probly gave us 10, 15 points taking kobes game down a lot

Curry for ROY

Do you believe?

I’d rather see him lose it and play the rest of his career with a chip on his shoulder.

He's already playing hungry

I want him hungrier. Like, Jordan hungry.

True that

Just pointing out that he’s already playing like he’s trying to prove a point

hopefully this performance on national tv will boost him
ESPN

is doing their best to pimp Curry. It’s awesome.

They did even when he was at Davidson

I think people put way too much thought into his size

I hope Curry gets rookie of the year, but either way he is the best player from this last years draft in my opinion
lets see..

how these coupe of games go. analyze the backcourt situation. see if they can be effective. one thing is clear tho..they have to build around chicken curry. dudes a ball player

Alright, lets beat the hornets!!!!!!!!!!!!

we have a good shot

curry for roy..

can happen. but i see tyrekes stats and they dont lie. tyreke and curry are gonna be both stars in their own rights.

And the winner of tonight's game

the refs

keep this lineup

I think they should stick with this “big” starting lineup for the rest of the season. It gives Curry and Ellis a chance to simulate what next year could be like with Randolph/Wright in there, and maybe another big.

agree - seems more important than getting Tolliver minutes
tolliver will think otherwise
agree

who was in the starting line-up? I wasn’t watching till I got back home at 9:00.

Curry, Ellis, Maggette, Tolliver, Hunter
tolliver, hunter, monta, maggs, steph

I like….for the Golden State D-Leaguers :)

iphone and blackbery needs to make an app for sb nation

hahahaha

yep

I’d like it on my iPad, too.

definetly...when im on my ipod commenting is pretty much impossible
Night folks!

It’s 1:30 AM here in Hotlanta. Gotta say nighty night.

it would be much easier..wouldnt it. somthn like the face book ap in terms of quickness lol
Hunter did tonight what Andris should have been doing all year

Combine Beans rebounding with Hunter’s offensive output tonight, and we have our center!

I think Hunter can improve his rebounding, but I don't think Andris is that capable of really improving his offense
Beans + Stephs playmaking = center

07-08 Beans sure

we woulda won if beans was playing

wouldnt of givin up all those boards

07-08 beans right?

he would have given us atleast 10 broads, we got killed on the glass
I'd love to have 10 broads right now
hahaahahha, my mistakes, but beans prob have a few dozen broads!!!!!!!!!
Girls love the whole Euro thing

If the guy can snag boards and broads he’s the most popular dude in that locker room

Beans is already the richest man in Latvia, he get’s all he wants ;)

somebody please go scam him out of his money, he needs motivation

hahahahahahah

interesting looking at the +/-, not that it is a great indicator

all starters with (-)‘s and all bench players with (+)’s
best starter was curry at -9 and best bench was cj at +13

just shows what a flawed statistic it is

Curry was a monster tonight. CJ played really well too though

Obviously, like most statistics, it’s flawed if you use a one-game sample size. Monta shot 22% from the field tonight.

wow we had 25 more shots......100-75
yea everyone better ice there wrists
how on earth did we manage that?
oh, could be the 24 turnovers

Dont we average like 100 shots a game?

Lakers should be tired tomorrow for their game against the kings
tank watch

Let’s hope Tyreke blows up on them :D

We don't want Tyreke to go off

Trying to take the glory away for Steph

You'd rather...

Watch the Lakers win? I’ll take one game for Reke to blow up if it means toppling the Lakers :D

I'd rather save the toppling of the Lakers for when the Lakers get to the playoffs
Our d league team almost beat them

No way they get far in the playoffs

they will

they werent great against houston yet they still won it all

What would we do without Steph Curry?
PROGNOSTICATING VS REALITY...

fantasizing… Curry-Ellis go for 50, Williams for 20, Maggette-Morrow 25, Tolliver-Watson-Hunter 25,
we win 120-115
OK, CALLED IT CLOSE, BUT NO CIGAR… We got 121, not 120 (problem is they got 124, lol)…Let’s see how we did: Curry-Ellis did not go for 50, they got 42 (dreadful shooting night for Ellis; s—
happens)…..Williams did not play, but Hunter got 22 (Nellie played Williams 4 minutes/saved the rookie?)…. Maggette-Morrow did not get 25, they got 21 (Morrow didn’t get much time)…Tolliver(14)-Watson(9)-George (13) got 36!!!…and made up for everyone else. Heck for one lousy bounce on the rim, it might have been a different outcome…still, we gave the Lakers a run for their money.

I am under 34 years old, and my vote is Stephen Curry.
