Don Nelson
On tonight's game:
"We did everything a small team needs to do to win a game tonight except get to the foul line. We didn’t do a good job there; it wasn’t because we didn’t have a desire to do it. The free throw discrepancy was an immense. We didn’t expect to win the rebound game but when you get out rebounded by that many it’s very difficult to win no matter how well you play. Monta (Ellis) had a nightmare night offensively but was he good defensively on Kobe (Bryant) all night. Too bad he couldn’t get some shots to go."
Monta Ellis
On tonight's game:
"It just wasn’t my night tonight. Nothing was going down, nothing at all. I liked the game, I like how we played, shared the ball, gave ourselves a chance to win the game, tie the game. We left it all out on the court tonight. I thought we played well."
On the final play:
"There were three seconds left and I didn’t see anyone else so I just launched the ball. At first I thought it was short, but when it hit the rim and then hit the backboard I was like ‘okay it’s going to go’ but then it went to the left and I was like ‘son of a gun’. But hey it was a great game to me. I liked everything about it, and we played excellent."
Chris Hunter
On his career-high 22 points:
"I just wanted to come and give a good effort and I got a couple of pick and rolls and got a couple of dunks early that got me in the flow."
On Monta Ellis’ shot:
"I knew it was going in, when it took that second bounce and bounced up it looked like the invisible man tipped it out of the way at the last second. It was a good effort and we had two good looks down the stretch to tie it up, but it didn’t fall."

They have a terrific angle of the entire half court from the opposite side on the Warriors final play.
To me, it looks like Curry and Morrow weren’t that wide open, when you take into account Lakers near the passing lanes and only a split second to check. All it would take was for a Laker deflection, and there’s no second chance shot.

Steph wasn't open Fish had him
Morrow was on Monta’s opposite lead shoulder but was open. The pass would have taken a while to get there and probably wouldn’t be too accurate, it was the shot to take

I cringed so much watching Morrow on that replay
Deimos24 - March 16, 2010
Morrow was wide open
Maybe the Laker was blocking Monta view of him, but Morrow would have been the best shot available there.
Though really, the Warriors set up the first 3 for Curry beautifully, but he couldn’t connect.

Taking another look at it this morning
Yeah, ideally Morrow had the best shot. When Monta said in the post game that he didn’t see anybody, I think he was referring to at the moment of the rebound, nobody was stationed and ready at the 3 pt line, so he had nobody to pass it to, so he committed himself to getting to the 3 pt line to take a shot. Also, by the time Morrow had reached the 3 pt line, Monta may have felt there wasn’t enough time to make the pass. He may have thought there was only 0.5 seconds left or so, so he hurled the ball at the basket to at least get the shot off.

That was a good looking play for Curry. Fisher got owned on that one.
Naticus2 - March 16, 2010
LOL!!!
I just saw myself on ESPN!!! FEELS GOOD!

cool

WW is Hunter
He played very well against Bynum and Gasol. Also Monta played great defense and passed the ball very well tonight. If he shoots at least 35% we win this game. Steph is now an NBA and national favorite. I think he’s got a real shot at ROY now
dubzfan - March 16, 2010
Your honestly defending Monta?….he played crap defense, and was selfish beyond belief….he was 5-23 and around 2-19 until he got hot for the last 3 minutes…. Curry and Hunter were key…we win this game if Reggie or CJ get all of Monta’s minutes…
MDB - March 16, 2010
yes cuz ellis didnt assist in 22+ pts
ToeSocks - March 16, 2010
could this be the first time....
that the average of a team’s assists and turnovers forced was higher than rebounds grabbed?
crazy.

Cool tweet by Azubuike! It will be great to have him back. I can’t wait until next year either! Not too sure what next year’s lineup will look like, personally. It’ll be interesting! Maybe we can have ROY two years in a row :).

LOL
I hope we luck into John Wall!

Or a quality big man. If we’re in the top 3, we’re in business.
