Excited for my
Doh....

Excited for my first GSOM night!!!!!! Question though… How do we get our tees?

I can't wait!!

My first GSOM night….
Bought my tickets way before it was announced but as luck would have it I think I might be right in the mix…

I’ll be in sec 123, waaaay in the bak row 28!
Can’t wait
GO DUBS!!!

Curry

I really hope he’s back for tonight cuz my kids are dyin to see him back in action now!!

You go to section 220/221

The GSOM crew will be at a table handing them out. I think you have until halftime to get them.

mail me one to Canada
Who is qualified to go on the GSOM nights? And , how do I get in on the next one?? AND do you do a 3 point contest everytime? And is there a prize , if so? lol no more Q's
any word on steph's status?
Curry's Status:

His ankle is made of jello.

ive seen questionable and ive seen doubtful

my guess is he doesnt play

funny

how W’s are getting W’s just with EC teams

wow, didnt realize that. we're 5-4 vs east conference teams and a terrible 0-5 vs west conference teams
WC 0-4 so far

W’s are good @ home against teams who play W’s as just another spot on their roadtrip and capable beat some bad teams @ their place -division games always are tough and LAL and SAS are just on another level so far

Still doesn’t explain the atrocious losses to Utah and Phoenix

Utah has been playing extremely well. They may be young, but holy crap have they got talent. They started out bad, but they’ve been killing it since then.

that explains utah.. lol. phoenix was maybe just an off game, at least thats how i remembered it
damn -how did i erased that Utah game out of my mind?

Phoenix had nice game then -shots were falling for them
as they say shits happen

Was gonna go to tonight’s game but something came up. Have fun out there and cheer extra hard to make up for my absence!

When I want the volume turned really loud

I just turn it to eleven. see. eleven.

pacers are a good team

but I like that we are coming back pissed about going .500 on the road.
LGW!

Just saw entire pacers team getting off the bus at 4seasons on market street

Hilarious. Lou signing autographs and posing like he’s a celeb

continued

So, I’m walking down Market, on my phone, and I notice Brian Shaw. I think he’s in a Warriors sweatsuit and I’m confused, then I double take and notice it’s Pacers. Next thing I notice is how oblivious I was, and how entire Pacers team is getting off a bus to my right..

Hibbert’s skinnier in person than I thought but every bit of 7ft2+.

Ps. I yelled “Roy sign for the dubs this summer!”

He kind of smirked, Lou was laughing and said something I couldn’t hear, Granger kind of mugged me like he wanted to fight. Doesn’t want his big man gone!

Granger kind of mugged me like he wanted to fight. Doesn’t want his big man gone!

did you remember your manners and invite him over too?

haha granger feels slighted because he wasn't invited haha.
he hates SF anyway

probably thinking “why would anyone want to come here?”

haha, Granger actually does thouh
My bold predictions..

Brandon Rush will posterize someone.
—-Dorrel Wright hits a game winner

Dorell Wright will pumpfake

Dorell Wright makes a game-winning pump fake. Place your bets!

Dorell Wright makes a game-winning pump fake. Place your bets!

DoorL fakes a game -losing pump fake.

I predict he’ll fake a pump fake and actually shoot.

He’ll pump fake and then the buzzer goes off before he gets a shoot off. we lose :(

*shot
Swype fail

i predict he is going to at one point just sit there and do like 15-20 pump fakes in a row like a broken record (wish i could gif that lol)

He’s going to fake a fake pump-fake, setting up dribble-drive to fake pump-fake super move! Works every time.

I am sooooo excited, me and my girls got lower level tickets just so we could get the shirt ;) I totally think the warriors are gonna get a win tonight.!!

metal detectors

anyone remember if they got metal detectors at front door? i want to sneak in a flask if possible.

For the Bulls game, they did.

Some nights they do, other nights they don't

Or maybe its the entrances, im not sure but they do at some point

not all the time though

I think my ticket rep said its up to the nba what games they do them….they normally send out an email before hand tho to let you know stating how itll take longer to get inside and plan accordingly.

who went to the Lovevolution at oracle last september?

No metal detectors, not even a pad down. Easiest time i’ve ever had sneaking drugs into a rave!

see everyone at pop as well. STILL rockin warrior gear at oracle even when its not game day!
anyone remember if they got metal detectors at front door?

not sure if those even work as they didn’t show my pocket knife last time I went thru them. Maybe they are just reasonable priced food and drink detectors?

Why would you want to bring a flash when you can pay $10 for a beer with slow service?

Saw a dude spill an untouched beer last season. Every dude in a ten foot radius started giving out heartfelt condolences.

just buy a half pint

Thx

Home sick with no TV.

Oops
Was going to say:
This is what I logged in for!!
Thanks!!!
(im traveling, sad to miss GSoM night)

Bring us a win. I'll be at a different basketball game for the first half, but I'll tune in hopefully by halftime.
Lakers?
I'm most certainly not in Orlando. So no.

key word:

at

What if we already had tix to this game?

No way to get a T-Shirt?

Not really
You should try though. Just let em know you are GSC…if thy give you lip, just raise your voice “YOU DON’T kNOW WHO I AM????”

lol, there should be like a secret code word or something like "nightclubs" or something.
ima be at the game with my friends LETS GO
FREE TICKETS!

I have 2 tickets for tonight’s game! Unfortunately, I cannot make it since I’m stuck at work. The person with the best reason they want to go to tonight’s game will get the tix! =]

CURRY TO PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.csnbayarea.com/blog/warriors-talk/post/Curry-to-play-against-Pacers?blockID=635220&feedID=2539&awid=5115051534212482245-766

Awesome...

…. but I can’t watch him now without constantly waiting for the next “tweak”… hope he can be productive in limited minutes.. he’s gotta be out of shape.

Remember when we called up Anthony Tolliver?

We had to request an injury exception from the NBA to get Tolliver. And on his very first game, he suffers a knee injury. Luckily, he came back the next game.

I have this nervous, nightmarish feeling that Curry will get sprain #8 tonight on his very first game back.

sounds like steph is going to play?
oops missed comment above

It was determined Steph was gonna play 2 days ago. They just announcing it tonight.

I’m so glad the weather is HORRIBLE right now because Danny Granger is in town. Haha!

i don't get it
Granger had a tweet or something..

talking about how bad the weather is in the bay

monta's in for a rough night with paul george in town
Happy Steph Curry Day Everybody!

let’s hope the curry right ankle saga ends tonight…enjoy your night with your friends and family on this very great steph curry day evening

amen no more ankle problems PLEASE!
you think Mark Jackson..

would be as good as Herm Edwards as a miniature coach in a Coors Light commercial?

Warriors with tip
good boarding
Come on Monta, pass it, don't get trapped in the air
good boarding david
Ah, yes, DWright is back with a 3
bad pass david
becareful with that

ankle Curry

David is inhaling the boards
Curry NIFTY behind the back pass

Lee got saved by the ref there. Got totally trapped

lol bailout call

that looked like an O
Lee nice roll, then off glass
Good board Dorell
Whoa, that Monta shot was short
DWright just let Granger shoot that
Liking Lee aggressive drive
I like David fighting...David Lee of course. Not West
Thank you David
Ooh, Biedrins got away with a 3sec
Curry nice hesitation and drive there
Curry looks off
agreed

He looks likes hes super nervous

He look like

a rookie out there

i would be too

on that ankle

I think he is thinking

too much

hes breathing hard too
I think he's just rusty from barely playing this year.
Yeah, I think it's mostly rust
why is the shot short?
OMG, Monta guard him!
NIce play attempt, Monta to Lee to Curry
That was a straight up BRICKED layup
DWright corner 3, you can count it now
never been so nervous...

watching the warriors…this curry ankle situation sux

Look at it as a win-win.

JHe gets hurt again, the tank rolls on. He stays healthy, well then hey at least he’s healthy!

I kinda want Paul George to go off just to point out how much talent was left on the board when Riley picked.
theyre lucky hes not doing much so far
Curry looks tired as lol
do GSW games look dead now or is it just me?

Mark Jackson style not so entertaining

I think the Warriors have no identity, no idea what kind of team they are yet

So they’re still figuring it out, so they look dead right now

Yep, they keep saying they're a defensive first team, unfortunately they're not playing anywhere near good defensively.
just look at the crowd
depressingly empty
rainy Friday traffic hell. will fill in
curry is out of shape tired

got to give him a few games

hey how do i get free authentic fan tickets
and also GSOM night too
don't know..

but it looked like you would get an authentic nosebleed winning those tix

did Dorell change his shooting motion?

looks weird now

Is Dorell Okay?
That was nice kickout by Monta to Nate, then Nate to DWright
Monta backing up his defender in the post
Monta post up

owned that guy

Wow, Monta just pulled a Shaq

minus the dunk.

Hill looks skinner
Monta Post up Hill

easily

On the other hand, Hibbert backs up Biedrins in the post
beans is gonna get murdered in the paint tonight
wowowow Monta post ups
Monta needs to post more
Monta nifty Tim Duncan off glass
I like how we use Monta to post up weaker defenders
Monta posting up vs Hibbert posting up, let's see which side wins
Don't leave Danny
trade for Granger..

he’s kobe in the Oracle

We had two guys trying to get the offensive rebound

and they threw it downcourt for the three

He had Wright WIDE open on the baseline
Ugh, again Biedrins slow on the pick and roll

I don’t like his hesitation before running to the hoop

also pass was low
somehow

they don’t connect on that end

I'm surprised that they're leaving Beans in there so long
Every other big we have sucks too lol

Udoh too small to guard Hibbert

I wish we had Kwame

Im sure hibert gonna have a hard time posting up

Gonna be a long night....
Man Oracle looks empty

So that’s why they had GSOM night tonight

the rain maybe?
Bran and Ekpe in
We really suck at transition defense
does every shot look flat?

like 40 degrees flat

Monta NICE turn around pass to Lee
good board Bran
RUSH HOUR 3
good one!

going to steal that

sorry you can't - copyrighted

government is going to shut down SB Nation now for copyright infringement

Rush right off the bench, right into a 3!
I like how we're boarding!
Our zone is working
Thats how they lose

to Sac town

Wow, tough Granger shot with a defender on him
Yeah show them Rush

that they should not trade you

Aww Bran..so close
What a stupid f'n mistake.
Arrrgh, right play idea, Rush is really Pietrus
Stay inbounds Rush

not that hard

Would you rather have Rush or Kawhi Leonard?

why do you call him Kawhi Leonard?
?

I’m insinuating that had we drafted Leonard instead of Thompsn we wouldn’t have acquired Rush.

call who kawhi leonard? kawhi leonard?
opps misread. =)

thanks boys

Monta is destroying Hill
That move was FAST
Thank you Monta
Play smart please
FINISH THEM MONTA!
Monta and the end of Q
lol, Monta's such an idiot
for once, Monta doesn't beat Hill
George Hill won that time
Coz

he did not post up

He waited 13 seconds for that.
exactly

he should like attack the basket

anybody notice monta been rocking jordans now?
what was he wearing before?
ANd 1

remember he got the commercial

yeah but he stopped wearing it in the beginning of the season

he said he was a “free agent”. I don’t know what he wore in the beginning of the season

Maybe we should have posted up Monta again instead

that worked last time

what was he wearing before?
It's possible the Warriors are still a little fatigued

they traveled yesterday, so this could feel like another road game for them

Monta is practicing for the 4th qrt
ok after half curry will start lighting it up!
Faster pace to start the 2nd
what the hell McGuire

your not lebron

nice block ekpe!
Udoh stuffing Lou at the rim!
Udoh poop on the pony tail
Udoh nice turnaround shot
lol udoh vs amundson
Klay Allen right around a screen!

I literally just got that nickname yesterday, when I said it out loud for the first time lol

That was pretty nice, Klay
Udoh

Block Lou I think he know his in and out.

As long as Klay doesn't dribble the ball
Aww . Good boarding Dom
Our bench likes to run
Klay is a good shooter
C'mon Steph. Let's go
lol

zone made them work for it

some good d there warriors
Ok STeph and Klay

together at last

Ekpe with an O?
the pony tail won that time

dammit

Our zone is killing them
Well they are benchers...
Thats how they lose

to Sacramento

hmm questionable
Zone defense really screwing up the Pacers bench
This pacer lineup has been garbage.
good job boys
dom is bad dribbler
Lou layup fail, haha
ahh gotta love the b rush deal for amundson
RUSH HOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!! 333333333333333333
Klay, just a tad too aggressive
i like it

hustle

yep, no problem with the idea
No foul there?

(Yeah, I’m behind everyone)

It's like the Pacers don't know how to pass from within a zone
I think nobody wants to do

a dribble penetration. Its like they are passing left to right

well

they’re not a drive and kick creation offense. even with collison on the floor, they don’t use him as a traditional point guard. they like to feed inside and kick out and run isos from the perimeter. they’re one of the worst assisting teams in the nba

Nice fake pass tho

My lights are flickering, I’m uh be heated if my power goes out!

We playing well?

Or Pacers playing bad?

why did pacers want lou?
So Pacers took our DunMurphy, and now they took our Lou

Thanks, Pacers!

Dunleavy played pretty well for the Pacers though O.o
wow kobes wife got 75 million + 3 mansions

wow she is set for life and i bet she has never worked before

I think she was a dancer...that's how they meet
lol a year of working and shes set for life
so much hate for Vanessa Bryant

its like she did something wrong

they were married 10 years

to try to estimate “what she deserves” when they know nothing of their relationship is terrible

Interesting fact

After 10 years, your marriage is considered a “long marriage” or something by the California courts and you get more support if you divorce

this

No wonder she stuck with him during the Colorado incident. She never wanted to stay with him lol she just wanted that 10 year big bonus. Can you say gold digger?

...

this is exactly what im talking about

how is it she’s Kobe’s “rock” (his words) for 10 years, but as soon as theyre divorced, she’s a gold digger. you know NOTHING about their relationship

I did know this

but without the prenup, she was pretty much guaranteed at least half either way

Haha, and when the Pacers TRY to pass from in the zone, they pass it off a Warriors, turnover
steph curry sighting
Pacers cannot play against a zone

We should just do it all game

Thank the Kings and Keith Smart for discovering this
but we always play zone lol
That was a garbage Pacer lineup. Vogel had to put in some scorers.
Steph

hesitation is sick

Curry deep 3 from Klay!
steph curry sighting

33333333333

Klay, watch it!
settle down rookie
Gotta work on that sloppiness
DLee travel

sick hesitation though lol LeBron would have gotten away with that

Well Lebron would have jumped like ten feet and dunked it
We are so bad at the fast break and the outlet pass

It’s not even funny

We play good for a few possessions

Then absolutely terrible.. So inconsistent throughout a single game.

We were playing good for a reason

The Pacer’s bench…

has actually been a pretty good unit the last couple years
Lee dont

trust Klay to play Give and Go

Whatever happened to Earl Barron

Would like to see him play a few minutes

no no no no no no no no no no no no
why not? What kind of player is he?
baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad

and worse yet, he’s got no specific area or skill he’s good at, he’s just below average on everything

you know your a terrible team

When you start asking for Earl Barron.

i want jaymee sire back
me too

where the hell did she go? did she get promoted?

i think shes on the postgame tonight, and has been a lot this season?
why not more 3's?

Rush, Klay, Curry???

but Lee is taking bad shots #smh

Yeah curry is a little off
Jim explain it all
We're getting stops, we're not scoring
I like Dorell playing hard
was that dwright??? lol
Yup

Dwrong did not play today Coach decision

Do ballers shave their legs?
Thank you Dorell

vogel looks like a shady busisnessman

is that their coach? It must be his bleached teeth....
There's a small section of the crowd booing someone, who are they booing?
Fitz
That's always my first guess.
I think Curry

miss shot

I refuse to believe warriors fans are that snooty to boo their best player when he misses one shot.
louing?

lee?

foul call?

who knows

too many choices lol

hahahahahahaahaha Durrrrrell
Smart move Monta
DWright, you are not a 360 scorer
Pacers look lethargic.
Dorell doing his best Wilt Chamberlain move
That was incredibly dumb

wow this is ugly. lol lee

LOL

curry got ran over by Beans so sad but hilarious

Hahahaha

It’s like basketball in elementary school. David Lee ran into Curry

...whatever works...smh lol
David, that's Steph!
That was an awful possession
The Warriors redeine ugly scoring in that sequence
great Biedrins block
his best move tonight
this is like a children's movie
Lol Lee at

Curry

and we still scored lol
lol wtf david lee
Lol this is hilarious..

Worst basketball skill I’ve seen from an NBA game.. Biedrins gettin after it on D though

Right now we are picking lower than the 7th pick of the draft
On that replay, Ekpe Turiaf block Lou, Lou had NO chance
just be glad curry wasn't injured again
Its like he is to fragile

every possession we need to thank that he does not get injure

I was so busy typing out Lee running into Curry, i didn't see how they scored
sigh play smart
good block Ekpe
Hahahaha, another offensive failure

first the fast break, then the curry pass

We cannot run the fastbreak correctly
We need to bring

Don NElson out of retirement for the specific area of our game

such a shame, it used to be what we were best at

and it SHOULD be the easiest thing to figure out

We are good at

posting up Monta

which sounds like it shouldn't be true
Haha, did I heat someone say "What is this, amateur hour?"
LOL if someone did say that

i agree. We’re playing like amateurs its not funny and I am not entertained

Honestly we were so good in transition last year

what happened

Monta great kick back to DWright 3

Monta didn’t force it

geez that lob was awful

Haha, amateur night it is!

Curry half court alley oop bangs off glass instead

WE SUCK AT THE FASTBREAK

YOU GUYS SUCK

i agree

kind of feel like booing my team :(

i'm just laughing out loud

it’s a comedy of amateurs out there

feel frustrated

half court offense is so bad and to add, no more fast breaks :(

Steph didn't want to push that ball

I think he’s scared to test that ankle, they had a fastbreak oppurtunity if he pushed the ball

It's completely obvious he's playing conservative in fear of his ankle.

And honestly, that’s fine with me. It’s the lesser of the two evils (the other evil reinjuring it).

That should have been a 24 sec violation!

refs wanted to end the ugliness asap

Curry need to breath
he is nervous he wil settle down
How are we not getting owned?

We are playing shockingly bad

their bench totally sucked against the zone
worst Warriors team post-we believe?

most ugliest

It's even worse than when the offense ran off Stephen Jackson
cmon

Thud @ PG
Moore @ C

nothing beats that

Honestly it is amateur hour for our offense

We cannot run the fastbreak well. Ugly ugly ugly

This game is demotivating me from creating a post game links

siiiiiiiiigh

he picks it up for us after half time? curry monta lee?
is Swizz Beatz the CEO of Megaupload?

There were a lot of “A-List” celebrities supporting megaupload last year (maybe influenced by Swizz Beats?)

but FBI says hes not. I’m thinking conspiracy.

wasn’t this supposed to be the game where chris mullin had his number retired? what happened with that?

I think they moved it, but I can't remember when

Matt Steinmetz @MSteinmetzCSN
David West’s return is questionable (sore neck)

we catch a break
...

i hate pizza orgasmica commercials… every damn year so stupid

They are back this year?

lol yeah they are so dumb

2 fouls in 16 seconds

3qc strikes quickly

come on west, sit down
I forsee a lot of Pacer FTs

And a 3QC…

Inside outside passing

pretty

Monta to David!

i like the way fitz says “field goal % defense” like he’s some sort of super stat head

Well

I’d say it’s much better than ppg the other guys tend to use

but it’s just the snobbiness in his voice when he says it

aaiiiirrbaaaaaaaall
Curry looks tired again
NIce try, Curry to BIedrins alley oop
agree with Barnett though, slow lob to Beans is a low percentage play

i don’t think beans is the wrong guy to float something to, i just think that pass was terrible and way behind him

This is a game where the winner is decided by who plays the least crappy down the stretch.
Sure seems like

We have a lot of trouble rebounding missed FTs…

david lee iso in the post...

wooooooooo

Whoa, how did that go in?
Monta tough fadeaway
Lee good defense there
Another sucker fell for the DWright pump fake
a rebound would be nice
NICE D MONTA

subject lines please
How do I do that?

I’ve never been sure about what the means/does

the first line

is the subject line ^

when u post a picture, it can be clicked to hide a picture

no subject line, no hiding the picture

So do you post the image in the subject line

or Just put something int he subject line and put the image in the body?

Just put something in the subject line, and put the image in the body
wow dwright pump faked worked?
6 home games curry needs to get it going if this team is going to make a run
how do they got payed

playing like this

Who covers the niners better than us?

Collective “WTF did he just ask us?”

NOBODY!
Yeah they did better the second time he asked. Haha.
Play the

Bench Mob

Ugh, bad pass, Monta
its all just so gross!
Good try Monta
Udoh's presence made that Hill reverse miss
Udoh causing another miss
good block ekpe
Wowow

Monta really tough shot

Anyone want to join Monta and Dorell and have a game?
I like the 2nd qtr better

when the Warriors were making grade school mistakes. At least we had something to laugh at.

3rd quarter is always

the boring quarter for the Warriors

Did anyone just hear that???
fitz getting bleeped? LOL
Can we do that from home somehow?
Dunno...

A long constant bleep every time fitz talks would be just as grinding as hearing fitz actually speak.

yeah that was weird
Couldn't have been in better context
They're all driving. why dont we do that?
fitz is being censored
Let's have a strong 4th
Nate finding Dom inside

Energy

Yah Nate. lol
nate trying to get it goin

Here just in time for the 4th I see. How have they been doing so far?

Both teams cold and sloppy.
Bring the energy!
Nate 3 plays in a row!
Nate got his squad

on the floor

nate starting to feel it
good job klay!!
The whole bench expected Klay to shoot that 3
Nate play better

when no starter is playing

what Coach J doenst' tell him to slow the ball down
let's score! please
Dom with an athletic one armed cleanup!
Look at Lacob get so excited for his group of scrubs.
YEAHHHH DOMMM!!!!!
wow

nice heads up play

Why dont we have this

squad as a starter we might start blowing up teams

this is how we do it... it's friday night....
curry time!!!
I like our bench better

more exciting to watch

More energy to start the 4th
good board dom
haven't watched warriors past few games... but looks like klay is finding his shot
Last few dare I say he's been a sniper.
just when i said finding his shot... lol
Dom got so excited on getting that oreb

he messed up the putback attempt

haha, that was pure dom right there. good energy stuff, clueless offensive stuff

aww nate...that was to ekpe?
Argh, execution failure
Udoh can't physically stop West

west cleared out with the free arm on that one

Using NFL terms, that was a bull rush by West.
good block bran
NIce Rush weak side block
d up now please
And Klay Allen with the transition 3!
klaaaaaaaaaaaay

great delivery by nate, great shot by klay

Udoh needs help against West
that should be an o

udoh gets a rough whistle

not just that call, but overall

West clears out with his arm every play
Good recognition Nate
I saw that carry call coming
time to bench the bench?
When do starters come in?
beans put ur hand up?
Now the Warriors got help defense on West
Ohh good night for montayy
all our starters in
Wowow Monta fadeaway

monta’s had a pretty good night. not wild about the shot selection, but it’s worked out

well whenever he passses to an open player...

we can’t seem to get anything off it unless its Dorell

good board beans
what's up with us?
Pacers defended that Monta drive well

Lee, you need to hit that!

Lee back to his normal Lee self
MJ going small
i dont think now is the time to do that
he always does it in the 4th

and it almost never works out

not if hibbert is coming back especially
hibbert was already back in
i didn't see him...

odd he’s usually hard to miss

it always costs rebs
Oh good, small ball
stop sucking! pay attention
5 point deficit

feels like a lot more in this game

Game

Slipping away

We got this! LGW
This game is all over..

I’ve watched the Warriors too many times to know we aint winning this game. Pack this one up.

I still believe Warriorss will make the playoffs!

…in 2045!

bad time to have a deficit
David make your shots!
good d...i guess
Great defense

Hibbert couldn’t do anything

Make me proud please
LOL David. Make it now
David needs to go for a monster dunk one of these days

DHoward style. Lol.

watch your man please
how hard must we be fouled to get a call

we were lucky we tipped it back in

Make up no-Call?

i was thinking the same thing. lee looked like he got crushed

what a flopper
Curry turning nothing into something
that is like CP3 move
Curry get hot take us to the promised land!
take care of your man please
get hot steph

but we need some stops more importantly

don't the miss
steph finding some touch
Gotta get stops
We need Kwame Brown
Where's Kwame when you need him?!
DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE
curry 3

but we need some damn stops!!!

We could use Kwame....
Whoo hoo!

But this is an ugly game

Wow

you guys are doing so well on the offense right now.

CURYY BABY MAN I MISSED YOU
thank God for Curry
Looks like Lee's hot streak is over
this is why Curry can be the closer...

he’s mariano rivera of the nab

Mind if I watch the game with you guys?
I wouldn't call this a "game"
Pacers are so damn big...

Looks like we’re gonna live and die by jumpers whilst the Pacers eat us up inside

Where's Klay?

Sorry, I just follow this team to watch how is doing… we sure could use him for his senior year back at Wazzu!

What kind of a 3 pointer shooter was Klay?
Usually 40-45%

some guys he was just lights out though… like his last game in the Pac10 tourny he had 43pts?

But you know, despite the ugliness

our crowd is into it. Gotta love it

someone boxed out finally!

THERE'S our crowd
if anyone else shoots other than curry right now..

need to be traded

We got a stop on West!
Curry travel

Oh noes

Alright

Beans and Lee for some size now

C'mon make me proud
and of course

the most INOPPORTUNE turnover

then easy basket

#warriorsbasketball

Monta another sick shot
stop them now please
That Monta shot was a total kobe move
DWright ran into a wall
Monta ANOTHER fadeaway
don't the miss?

and again, stops!!!

LOLOLOLOL FITZ SCReAMING

Fitz had a mini meltdown
fitz loosing his mind
Fitz almost got Bleep again
Bob and Jim...lol
And Jim has to calm Bob down
Make me proud

Lol JB trying to calm Fitz down. It’s gonna be fine!

It's like he's calming down an overexcited teenager

“it’s not worth it man, it’s not worth it!”

My Internet derped out again

Damn.

Monta with a floater!

Monta closing this game for us

Let's go refs

/clap /clap /clap /clapclapclap

game winner time
best closer of all time for one night.
any chance monta has found his offense finally?

he’s looked great the past 2 :)

Man I hate this kind of game
alright 1 and 2 bring us home
Okay.

Now my Internet’s back to normal.

please make me proud

PLEASE!

Good board Dom!
MONTA BUZZER

GO GO

Oh, darn it.

It’s back to derp mode again.

Stupid MOnta!

OMG CMON MONTA

Omg, Hill gets the last laugh on Monta with a steal, finish, and-1
ARE YOU KIDDING ME

#Warriors
and then idiot Curry touch foul

WTF MONTA!?!?!? THIS IS WHY YOU DON WIND THE CLOCK ALL THE WAY DOWN
have i mentioned

i hate monta being the one with the ball at the end of quarters?

kick ball
and yes

yes you have

good

i don’t want it to seem like i’m hating since he messed up

it doesn't matter

you don’t go that late

he had plenty of time

he knew where he was goin with it that time

it's fine to go late when the game is tied
Not when they have a foul to give
yes

situational

MONTA ENDING THE GAME RIGHT THERE
Klay BUZZER
he is good at transition 3s...
LOL, there's no words for that.

That was horrible in every way.

THAT WAS A KICK BALL

WTF

Yeah, that should have been a kick ball
Man hate George Hill
637wgxhsurdiycoyuviuv

That was a kick ball but still terrible clock management.

aadfaefga w4et234t

q4t 4t q4g zf b

I wonder why they always let Monta handle at the end of the Q?
kick ball...

sigh

keep hatin on monta if you want, but he got hosed

Bleep Bleep Bleep

Bleep

Isn't Monta's fault , bad refs
kick ball sure

but monta’s decision making at the end of quarters is all time stupid

I was yelling at my screen to GO GO GO DAMN IT
Actually, I saw MJ hold his hands out like he wanted Monta to stay and wait
yeah saw that too

didn’t understand that at all

tie game, supposed to hold for last shot

only go early if you’re down. of course, if they have a foul to give, you want to go earlier and make them use it up

they had the foul

which is why it was curious at best

Monta should not be the closer..

when steph curry is on the team..so dumb that they insist he is

Steph CUrry just closed and missed bro

c’mon man. catch and shoot.. give me a break with this kind of unfair comparison.

not to mention it was like a 35 foot off balance 3

a turnaround 3 with less than 2 secs left is just a little different than an iso with 20 secs left
Monta's gonna get crucified after this game but he was pretty good.

We just should never have him take isolated end of quarter jumpshots.

he had a good game

but he shouldn’t be the one with the ball in his hands at the end of quarters. end of story

No complaints here.
Make me proud! Let's go into OT
I hope SO BADLY they review their calls after the game just to feel like idiots
Good job Monta! Next time you will make it don't worry if you lose us 25 games in between because we need draft pick!
start the tank machine

Will the NBA ever implement a review system like the NFL? Times like these, I definitely wish there was one.

SMH. Terrible ending
Curry still healthy and the tank lives on.

Can’t be too mad.

Curry couldn't of been much more open, pacers lucked out
Oh wow

I can’t believe you guys lost a close game….

Why didn't coach put in Klay?
Not a bad play call

Multiple players curling off a screen

ANTHONY DAVIS WE COMIN FOR YOU.

Taaaaaaaaaaaaank

Man

Mark Jackson should call a timeout rather Monta use the clock again

hate myself 4 wastin time
Me too it's 6.50 here in Slovenia!
Only one conclusion can be made

Refs are in on the tank

GSOM paid them off
Where can I donate to this charity?
can we fire those refs
Yeah I was shocked they didn't call a timeout for the last play
Duh you don't call a timeout when you have the best closer in the nba history!
So this is the Pacers team

that we will face on Sunday.

Oh boy. We’re (Lakers) gonna lose by a lot….

their offense is so inept at times

that they probably fit right into the Lakers wheelhouse

i don’t expect the Pacers to win that game…but the Lakers have played pretty terribly the last 2…so there’s still a possibility

I know we all wanted Mark Jackson to call the TO

but we all know he would have called Monta ISO coming out of the TO anyways

I tune in for the last part of the game.

Awesome we’re all tied, if Monta misses on his ISO we still go to overtime… Oh no a steal I didn’t even think of that happening… WHY IN THE HECK DID CURRY DO THAT LITTLE FOUL. AH what? It was a kicked ball! The ref missed it. AH great Curry’s shooting the 3! Ah crap he missed… Horrible loss.

IT WASNT A STEAL IT WAS AN INTENTIONAL KICK BALL.
Intention doesn't matter

Kick ball violation is a kick ball violation

Matt S. always tries to be contrarian

The Warriors suck so bad they have a chance at drafting Andrew Luck.

we got screwed

PERIOD!!!

I know we're all angry

but on the positive side we might keep our pick

we arent even on pace to do that! LOL
who's angry? The tank roles along nicely and Curry's ankle didn't combust. win-win painted with a fine lense and squinting from just the right angle.
tank is not that good we are on pace for more than 7th
I know...there's a whole fleet of opposing tanks out there with formidable commanders at the helm.
what is matt steinmetz smokin? that was an intentional kick
sigh

Monta “Choke Artist” Ellis at it again, what a surprise. Can we never put the ball in his hands at the end of a game again? I Don’t care if the ball got kicked 9/10 times he can’t make a play with the clock winding down so sick of seeing it.

apparently you missed most of last season
GEORGE FREAKIN KICKED IT ON PURPOSE.
No one ever tries to kick the ball?

How is Matt S a professional sports guy?

The Warriors don't get the best reporters

because we suck

you don't try to kick the ball

it’s just a reflex.

i mean come on you dont see defenders running around kicking at the ball

if it’s near the foot, the natrual reflex to stop it is to stick the foot out. doesn’t mean you’re trying to do it

that prick just wants to stand out

no excuse basketball

but that was total bull

ill take bad plays...

but not bad calls…

Monta Ellis is their best low post option

Steinmetz

Facepalm

might actually be true...
Actually this might be true

sadly

Hense the facepalm

Monta didn't go too late-

Steinmetz.

He didn't

the problem was that he got the ball kicked

The problem is he thinks he's the next best thing after Kobe!

Not to mention his dribble lol!

3rd best sg in the league, so he is the next next best thing at sg after kobe!!
Hahaa nice yoke really!
doesn't even matter...

he made the game crushing turnover that lost the game….I don’t understand why when steph is rolling and gets the dubs back in it, Monta insists on taking it 3 straight times….why??? Steph was rolling, why not even look for him? Doesn’t matter that he made the 3..it’s the mindset that is troubling.

UH, monta made it 3 straight times. LOL. fail. and curry missed his last 2 shots.
i know monta can do no wrong considering your sn....

but when you are on fire and your teammate decides to not even look for you and take it to the hole 4 straight times, it is terrible….especially when he ends up turning it over on the most important play of the game.

your logic is flawed. curry hit 3 shots, missed, monta hits 3. both are on fire.
when this is your argument:

i know monta can do no wrong considering your sn….

your argument holds no water

steph was playing very well at the end…but monta was playing just as well if not better.

kick ball

and um…monta was just as if not more on fire than Steph…

Wasn't Monta rolling pretty well before that egregious turnover?

When you only have 1 guy who can get good shots off the dribble this happens. We need a versatile 3.

steph's not bad at getting the step back

so i’d say when he gets back to full health we have 2…but still neither is good enough at that skill to really make up for having no one else that can

steph is just as capable as monta at getting open for a midrange jumper

and he shoots them at a much higher percentage than monta too.

Steph has never done it with the game on the line. 3 different head coaches have never trusted Steph to do it with the game on the line in Iso. Its not because their scared of Monta.

how do we know he can't do it? has he ever gotten the opportunity?

The fact that no coach has trusted him to do it makes me think he cant.

you can't know he can't do it until he gets the opportunity

how do the coaches know? there’s no way to simulate it in practice.

Sure it is. I dont doubt Steph could get up a shot, I dont doubt he could make the shot in Iso. What I do doubt is that he could penetrate and score in the ways Monta could off the dribble. Monta can create more space for his shot than Steph can because of speed.

steph creates plenty of space

and he doesn’t need to create as much space as monta because he has a quick release. also, i’m tired of hearing the “monta can blow by defenders at will” statement. if he could do it at will, why does he never do it at the ends of games?

Because the Bigs are watching him closely for penetration as they always do at the last possesion in Iso.

then draw the defender and dish it off, just like any other time

it’s not hard to figure out

the problem is that he can't actually do it at will
Yeah but how many players can get to the rim in the last seconds of an isolation play?

It’s super duper hard to do.

Very hard to do.

are you serious??

His entire D-1 college career was about making game winners

Totally different. Most starting point guards in the NBA are good defenders.

i think people have forgotten...

that curry was making buzzer beaters night in and night out and putting up 28 ppg in college ..the kid can be a lethal scorer and closer if he decides to or is given the opportunity

and it was on a team..

where he was the only player other teams game planned against…he was being double and tripled team nightly

Why even play team basketball then? Just play 1 on 5 the whole game! Stupidity!

Even his airness passed the ball to Kerr.

MJ passed the ball a lot in those situations
it's part of the reason he's the GOAT

he knew when to pass and when to take it himself.

are there actually stats for that? on MJ?

ive always thought he had a couple HUGE critical plays where he passed and the shooter was successful that people blow out of proportion. not that he doesn’t pass in those situations regularly, but people always seem to think it was some great amount, when from watching games, I’ve always got the impression that he wanted to hit the game winner just as bad as anyone ever has

i'm not sure exactly where you can find it, but i'm sure there are stats somewhere for shot attempts vs assists on game winning/tying shots
assists isnt a great measure since it only counts when the teammate made it

but it’s better than nothing

the problem is that he isn't a very good ball handler..

and insists on being the man that goes iso at the end of games when you have one of the most clutch teammates right next to you in curry.

monta made 3 in a row thats pretty clutch, he shoulda ended it on a post up
that's something that might work, but they never even consider trying it
ya we have way better plays that he could try it from like getting him on the side in a iso.. instead of top of the key

Well, I disagree.

Okay

Well I thought he went at the right time. Drive, get to his spot, shoot the fadeaway.

Sure

If they didn’t have a foul to give. It’s all moot when the refs blew the call anyways

he's right

hill is a smaller player. he was going to pull up for a shot over him

don't get why indy sat george the whole 4th quarter

monta had to guard him and both times he posted on monta he got off good looks. plus his size and length would have bothered monta more than hill

i agree

but in the end, it worked out for them

somehow it almost always does

they were on cruise control .. didnt even need to have him do that lol
Retweet from @Warriorsworld
David west even said he kicked it in his interview without even being asked lmao
refs need to apologize and throw themselves off the golden gate.
NO!!!

THEY SHOULD GET FIRED or TAKE AN EYE EXAM BEFORE THE GAME.

well

The whole kicked ball situation could have been avoided if we just keep the ball out of Monta Ellis’ hands! Stop making excuses

montta doin work..

refs….not so much…

ya, i hate when everyone is just standing around , while monta tries to juke and shoot.. LAME!
eventually curry is going to get the ball in one of these situations

and were going to see the same thing that happened in the situations he got it in last year…

then who will we say the ball should go to? David Lee…? okay deal :/

insteaad of having everyone stand around there should be a designed play..
i agree

but even in this case I liked the matchup. a smaller player that monta can shoot over without being off-balance is a good matchup. if it were someone like Paul George then definitely find a different option

which again makes me curious why paul george wasnt in

he’s their best perimeter defender

We should of had a moving play planned out with DW Klay Ellis Curry in .... where ppl are moving around and with options posted at the 3
I agree. Monta had been rolling at that point, Hill was on him who he scored over all night.

It wasn’t the stupidest decision of the season so far.

they need to run some kind of play

set a pick, try to get a mismatch, post someone up, set up someone curling off a pick, anything. just stop with the damn isos

i liked the monta v hill matchup

clearly it did not work out, but in most cases I don’t see it being difficult for Monta to take a straight dribble at him and pull up for a jumper. George contesting does not force Monta to go off balance.

but in a lot of cases, some sort of better player would be nice. even if it ends in an iso anyway, it would have created some defensive confusion as well as some ball-movement

Can we at least see the new GSoM logo now?

Is it a tank?

horribly no call. ruined the game

When wade did it in the Miami game they went straight to the screen to check.

glad curry didn't reinjure his ankle...
amazing how you found a positive in all this

but thank you for doing so :)

I hate the Monta iso as much as anyone at the end of games/quarters...

… but that was just a missed call.

Anybody else notices SC30 runs like a woman?

Nope...

..we’re not morons.

he certainly FOULS like one DAMN
HAHAHAHA. but yea, with that ankle he has to waddle a little.

He’s lucky MJ13 went to the zone. It helped that ankle.

Ref give Hill free pass

for kicking the ball… because they give DLee free pass for basket interference on a tip in

really? did they say that?

the dlee basket was borderline 50/50, but this was blatant kick ball.

Who say who?

you are not watching the game are you?

is it still on?
I dont know you tell me

expert

I guess we both dont know.

But its clear the dlee tip in wasnt a missed call, refs judged it worthy. while the kicked ball was completely missed.

the dlee tip in was for sure basket interference
what did they show you multiple angles? you cant judge it from what 1 angle showed.

the fact that it stayed still tells you the ball was at a balance. therefore it was exactly midway, therefore it is legal to tip it in.

cmon man you are watching

the home game telecast. Why will CSN replay a miss call on a home team. Genius

if the ball was halfway, you can NOT touch it.

the ball needs to be completely out of the cylinder.

so yes it indeed was basket interference

missed call by the refs, it happens

but it was in the process of leaving, literally 51% out therefore it is legal to touch.

if it were not all the way out, it would have dropped in. dlee waited patiently for it.

you need to learn the rule

the ball needs to be completely out of the cylinder or you can’t touch it

it doesn't matter if 3/4 of the ball is out and it's for sure not going in, you still can't touch it while part of the ball is above the cylinder
thats not true here. and its not tru in europe either.
the european rule is different from the rule here

in europe, you can grab the ball off the rim. here, you can’t

the question is was it out of the cylinder and it was.
no it was not

like you said it was on a balance so it is not on air balance. It means it was hanging on the rim

NO part of the ball can be inside of the cylinder
yes you are right it was basket interference:

Section I-A Player Shall Not:
b. Touch the ball when it is above the basket ring and within the imaginary cylinder.

rec

you learn new things everyday

good job!

Yup bigkino is right

You must learn the rule, so go on wiki. Make sure you dont read the Euro league rule. Or the Dleague

Well I guess the ref both dont know the right call on both play how about that, genius

Monta was the one getting us tied in the first place, while david lee missing everything the whole game and getting torched by david west. We get screwed by the refs and we all blame Monta on losing the game.. Give the dude a break.

what are you talking about

Monta sucks

warriors were down five...

steph hit a 2…pacers scored…hit another 2….hit a 3…. missed a shot…then Monta took it the next 4 times

took it 3 times and made it 3 times. he didnt get his 4th opportunity.
conveniently you leave out monta made 3 consecutive shots
if it happened the other way...i would be just upset..

if monta hit 3 straight to and was on fire and got the team back in the game and steph took it 4 straight times (even if he made all 4), I’d still be upset and question the decision….teammates that do not recognize the hot hand are the worst.

i doubt that
i would...

but it i don’t think it would happen….steph has shown to be the type of teammate that defers to the hot hand …like all teammates should….you don’t take it 4 straight times no matter the results.

that doesnt make any sense. hot hand wont stay hot forever. as soon as curry missed his streak ended.
think of it in nba jam terms. he is no longer on fire.
i dont think the nba works like nba jam
ha ha....

Now I see why you’re such a Monta fan… you think video games reflect real life.

hahaha. half true.
in other news rubio made a 3 to tie it
Rubio can be deadly if his feet are set. He's already made that clutch game tying 3 against the Hawks in ATL.
reason im watching the wolves
The reason i'm even thinking about buying tickets to the Dubz-Wolves game.
is the dynamic pricing for those games cheap?
Not cheap, warriors tickets are kinda pricey.

But less expensive than the marquee games. I want to sit lower level on the side lines so I’m looking at probably north of $200 for two tickets plus processing.

And with this shit team they should be lucky to get my money.
Why does every game come down to Monta vs. Steph....

Both played well down the stretch…. it was a freak missed call that lost us the game. I’d prefer a more designed play than a Monta Iso, but whatever, it was an obvious kick.

Warrior fans can't stand having good players
they have the blame the losing on someone
monta gets all the blame here in gsom lol
Only because he makes all the mistakes.

Curry got a good look and missed it…. rather have that than Monta forcing a fade-away deep 2.

u mean one of the ones he hit against george hill?

Yes...

… Monta hits some amazing shots sometimes…. unfortunately, he misses them way more than he makes them. They look good when they go in, though, so most people believe he’s clutch.

not saying he’s clutch but he keeps us in games and is our best offensive option. we just dont have enough talent on the team and too much is placed on monta.

when steph is healthy, monta isn't our best offensive option
no penetration..
doesn't matter

yes it does just like presence in the post

monta can drive all he wants, he's still not even close to steph's efficiency level

of course monta’s gonna miss more shots, he takes more and the team and coaching staff relies on him to do so.

it's not about number of shots missed, it's about efficiency

i assume this is what you are implying regarding efficiency

monta's shots in general result in a lot less points per shot than steph

so monta’s shots are a tad bit less than 2 or 3 pts compared to stephs?

I wish it didn't have to be either or..

When Steph and Monta are both healthy and they play within the offense (no Monta gunning deep 2’s early in the shot clock) they actually work great together. Love Monta’s penetration when he’s looking to dish or kick out in times it’s not there for him.

Monta never penetrates for the buzzer beater….it’s always a fade-away 2 off the dribble… I’ll take Steph in that situation any day.

Yeah, I agree, without both we're not in this game late imo.
Also what might be lost in the end of the game

Nate had 3 costly turnovers in the 4th as well.

yep he was pretty terrible..
Pissed...

I’ve sent a few e-mails to the league.

about the non-call

thank you, send one for me. or give me the address and ill send one myself.
Dont feel bad about this loss guys

My Clippers just lost by a buzzer-beating 3 to the FREAKIN WOLVES!!! It’s all good though, once we get back CP3 and Caron everything will be fine.

really

I though you guys are leading like 10 or a bunch I did not bother watching the Clippers I thought it was a blow out

wolves are pretty decent..

and you guys don’t have chris paul…love is a beast…not a bad loss for you all

thanks... makes me feel a lot better lol

I see the new GSoM logo…. Nice!!

Don't worry you still have VDN
Plz don't remind me..
look on the bright side

at least you don’t have Mike Dunleavy Sr. anymore

I agree

the Clippers should be happy they have VDN

at least you aren't 5-10...

and didn’t use your amnesty on a 4 mill expiring…and are capped out with a draft pick going to utah..lol…GSOM..where clipper fan comes to feel better

LOL
that's messed up man
Its cool...If you're a Clippers fan, you're use to the harsh disrespect
Well I guess the Lakers is on a losing streak

And Clippers is on a rise. I really dont know what L.A root for nowadays. I dont see people wearing Lakers Jersey and Clippers Jersey either.

vannessa bryant FTW
have a shit one
