Golden State Of Mind

Why Beans is soft

Noticed some people complaining about this play last game, so I thought I’d gif it

Thank you

that’s the play

Yeah, the key word being TRY

oh man, i’m getting more annoyed the longer i stare at that gif while waiting for this game to start

Last year, it would have been Reggie and a burried three...Wright looked at it..

That is a play they run….Monta would have looked for the guy with open shot, but had nor room because he was defended perfectly, he dumped to Lee, who immediately went out to Wright. The shot was Wright’s…

HEY!

You guys back off Biedrens!!
That was the correct play. Driving into triple coverage?? Jump shot against a bigger defender? Who do you think he is, Monta?

Duby Dub Dubs - January 25, 2012 via mobile reply

he's a bit out of range

but 1 dribble in and he can get a foul

That's actually sad.

You know what this clip reminds me of: the Kobe clip when he was talking about Kwame.

Loving the Mistah FAB roundup on the pregame show

He drives the opposing team’s announcers crazy!

is vegas crazy?

warriors are a 3.5 point favorite?

third game of a back2back2back on the road

talent means more

might be a "scheduled loss" for Portland

naw, we'll end up giving the game to the Blazers

not until the fourth quarter!

Just turn off the TV after the third, it’s all good

hahahaha

if only we could close the books after the 3rd qtr, then we’ll have it

Just pretend it's a hockey game

Golden State Sharks

Didn't the Blazers just beat Memphis last night at home?

Wait, you probably meant back2back2back and now on the road. sorry

You have to think the Warriors are going to come out like junkyard dogs

The Warriors need to act like wounded wolverines and just come out to tear some ass tonight. Win or lose, they should be down to scrap.

well, so much for this being a terrible line lol

I'm going to echo something Steinmetz said (I just posted this on Evanz thread)

The Kwame injury hurt. A lot. Say what you want about him, but he was providing something critical thing that the Warriors have traditionally lacked; SIZE. I think now more than most years in the past, the utter lack of any effect at the 5 is glaring.

With Kwame Brown in the lineup as it currently stands, even having missed Curry for some time, I think thing would be vastly different.

I've actually got this game on local broadcast in Seattle

Unfortunately, it’s coming from PDX, not CSNBA. The announcers are a bit nervous about this game, they keep complaining about how they hate making the trip to Oakland ha ha

All Mistah FAB

Home court advantage!

Brandon Rush nearly 55% from the arc so far

better than curry in his healthiest

warriorsnation - January 25, 2012 reply

True

I doubt he’ll stay that hot the whole season but he’s obviously very good shooting from distance.

McGUIRE, Rush, and Dorell....

Gotta play some serious defense tonight.

Good luck to us.

LGW still.

LGW.

still.

is this the 3rd night

Portland back to back to back

Yup, traveled late last night.

it's not like portland is a long plane ride though

Longer than a drive from Marin to Oracle! (Assuming no accidents on 880)

Wallace = awesome defender and rebounder

Nah he doesnt fit here…………….

thats not what we do

Just got my first HD television….wow! Hi-def horrible basketball baybay!

lmfao

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE.

thank you steve jobs god

lol

we have all the momentum!!!!!

...there goes the shutout.

Let the turnover machine begin!

Camby has no jumper

J Ridah sayings

yes a field goal attempt!!!

I'm getting bad feelings about this game already

Call me a pessimist

i'm with you

You're a pessimist.

by bad feelings, do you mean you think the warriors are going to win?

Bad feelings

like a gnat is going to land in Monta’s Gatorade, he’ll take a swig, choke, pull a muscle in his abdomen, and be out for 8 weeks.

replay please

i bet that was a flop

sucky lee is out tonight

3 fouls already

Good defense DWright and Biedrins

Lee can dunk!?

lol yea it's hard to see in standard definition, though. welcome to the future.

I thought MJ wanted them to push the tempo

They’re walking it up

LOL Monta D

hello defense

Felton was wide open on the baseline

They just all walked away from Felton

LOL Monta O

monta dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb

foul like a man

Whats the over/under on turnovers?

Monta Ellis everybody

Yikes on that point swing.

soft foul

wtf. our team still doesn’t know how to foul

Soft players = soft fouls

can no coach ever tell our players dont do soft fouls?

BALL DON'T LIE

Lee with an inside cleanup

PDX broadcast just ran a stat on Mark Jackson's career W-L as a head coach.

5-11 (.313) said the banner. ha ha ha

Monta nice play with Lee

David Lee dunkfest

BOOM Curry

Curry 3 - yes need moar

Curry triple

Monta using the penetration to make plays

nice D

Monta good defense to scare the shooter there

I like the early signs of defensive pride

I like the early signs of defensive pride

bad monta shot

LETS GO MONTA ISO's!!!!

Not liking that Monta 3

I'd dislike it less if it was actually a 3

EW0804 - January 25, 2012 reply

Don't like that shot (brick)

box out, dangit

Old man Camby making Biedrins look slow

Biedrins help defense was simply non-existent right there

Does anyone think the players seem cool or intimidating when they shriek like that after a dunk

I can’t help but laugh

Bosh is the king of this

He does his best 300 movie yell and I can’t help but smile

hah yup

Had him in mind

We're only down 4, but the lack of smoothness in our offense,

makes me feel like we should be down a lot more

dubs are

allergic to boxing out

It makes them break out in rebounds

They don’t like it

lol nice

Camby looks like

the old Camby

I think 2012 Patrick Ewing could have a 20/20 game against the dubs

lol

Maybe it's my TV set but

the Trailblazers look like they come from “Land of the Giants” compared to the Warriors on the floor — especially around the basket.

What is up with this guy's breathing!? Lots of gasps for air

He need to be FIT

LOL i thought i was the only one who noticed

Where did they find this John Henry Smith guy?

He seems like he’s full of himself.

he reminds me too much of obama

in the way he talks. annoying

over/under on jamal crawford 4 point plays tonight?

klay's good for at least one

Uh Oh

Jamal Crawford

The pump fake expert just fell for a pump fake

Monta missed first 3 shots

Time to start getting to the rim

LOLee

There's Lee #2

PDX announcers asking for a "Clear Path" foul there...

…no one even had clear possession of the ball.

Good D Monta!

buky - January 25, 2012 reply

Lol at Dwright

Fall for the pump fake

bench energy please

benchergy

Rush hour 3!

lol

hell yeah

HE MAY NEVER MISS AGAIN

Brandon Rush is straight up my favorite dub this season

Good trade for Amundson

This.

Lol Rush doesn't miss

Nope, he sure does not...

This also.

Why doesn't Rush start over Wright yet?

So...

Wright looks good later for a trade?

lol

“He’s a starter! We’re offering to trade you our starter!”

Rush does not miss!

Nice find from Monta, too

BOOM

RUSH!

Lolz Rush with another threee!

Where was the foul on Udoh?

Bee Ess

Ugh, Udoh, they will always call that arm coming down

cmon ref

dubtown - January 25, 2012 reply

horrible officiating so far.

these refs, man.....

Are the refs just not used to see a defense from a Warriors player???

Jim always rains compliments on the refs when they blow a call

Ref you suck

clear block

Man, these ref's are gettin paid some major cheese.

ball. don't. lie.

Awful call..

My god

That was a nice bounce pass from Curry, too

Oh look

We executed a fastbreak

Nice Rush, Rush

Love how we now have Rush & McGuire off the bench.

LGW

Nice defense! Udoh held his ground

Are you kidding me?

double u tea eff

Damn it Dom

Say what?

Flop

Crawford just sped past Curry

Curry!

and1?

nice

Thought that was gonna get swatted.

Curry.

Curry for 3!

nice find from Dom!

....YES

Curry thre3ee!

WE HAVE THE LEAD

game is in the bag!

lol

I see what you did there...

l'il ol' me?

O_O Watchin' u, breh.

keep moving the ball up court quickly

steph's baaaack

run run run!

Crawford went home

Curry is a high-skill basketball player

You can tell he’s done basketball drills his entire life.

Same with Klay

and Monta

Not really Monta has low bball IQ.

buky - January 25, 2012 reply

I was just trolling the Monta v. Steph argument, I know.

I'd say instead of doing drills in a gym

Monta was out at the park schooling people and reinforcing a few bad habits.

Just gross

thisa is frustrating

stretches like this make me think this team has legit talent… only to get heartbroken

we have talent against their bench

its much of our bench to

Transition 3s? That’s how I use Curry in 2k. It works better in game, though.

and i thought it was way too early for a 2 for 1 shot like that

Tyler time

Interesting….he’s only gonna get these 20 seconds I guess

Maybe he need to hack someone

We bring him in for those high-pressure situations.

Steph got brickwalled by thomas

Every time he goes to the floor I hold my breath

damn, your signature is huge

haha i was thinking the same.

it grew from earlier in the thread

i know

It’s obnoxious, I’m going to change it.

Temporarily.

Tyler sighting

EWWW

Ugh

Better than a Monta iso though

oof, somehow, we're only down 1

Monta STILL passed in the air

It almost seems like that’s the only way he knows how to pass.

fundamentally sound!

Straight out of the book of Barnett

I WANT JEREMY LAND!

I want JEREMY LAMB!

I still miss Jeremy Lin...

One thing I am scared of is...

A Jamal Crawford 4 point play.

I love how Rush looked at Crawford on the floor like

“Get the hell up, I didn’t touch ya” lol

lolll

Every other commercial on the PDX broadcast has Elmo in it

Must be the only way to communicate effectively to Oregonians. Hopefully Elmo makes a commercial about staying the hell out of the left lane if you’re not passing or speeding next time.

Not liking how quiet the starters started this game

I think part of the problem is that the starting lineup just has no swag. Nobody has attitude, swagger, nobody wants to set the tone and have everyone else follow.

Rookie Power

Hmmm

Tyler still in

so much fail

GREAT defense Udoh on Crawford at the perimeter to cause that turnover

hahaha flop FAIL

love it

Nice D

shoulda let nate dunk

Good warriors team defense again!

Things I like about Klay...

He’s not small!

jamal crawford missed his calling as a soccer player

Klay slam dunk

need to join the Slam dunk contest

Klay to Tyler!

TYLER TIME!!!

Nice dish Klay

Omg Tyler getting minutes, hold on I think the world is coming to an end

blazers have tired legs

Udoh good team defense, but needs to recover quicker

Look at that Klay

playmaking

Horrible shot, Nate

udoh needs to man up

Even their rooks getting calls

give tyler heavy minutes, no reason not to

It seems like at worst he’s a non factor, not really a detriment

better tempo right now with bench vs bench

wow late call

how terrible ref this days

RUSH MVP

Rush!

Rush, nice getting in front of his defender to get the pass to the hoop

WE HAVE THE LEAD

put this game to bed!

B.Rush was a nice pickup

Was that really a pass off the glass by Udoh? Haha

razzle dazzle!

udoh intended PASS

Whoa

What a pass lol

As I watch the bench crew play, it occurs to me

The bench looks so much more smooth offensively then the starters. Like they actually practice offense

Udoh off the glass pass FTW

Backboard pass

Awesome

I think your tank hit a brick wall

hahahahahahahahaha

guess that means we win?

LOL

Bench is better than our starter

again Im sure they got better +/-

+10 +10 +2 +2 +2 +8

starters -2 -2 -10 -10 -10

i love our core!

see Im right

not even looking the stat by just watching the game

Tyler is the new AR

Hopefully without the horrid midrange jumpers lol

late call

Was waiting for them to call a foul on Udoh there

i like how tyler goes up towards the rim when he cuts in

something biedrins is to much of a chicken poop to do

Tyler can be a stud

if he start getting those playing time

im digging tyler's activity

ME LIKEY JEREMY TYLER!!!

TROLL FACE…

Rookie Power

This stupid ass Jumbaco song makes me laugh every time

FIRST YOU TAKE A JUMBO THEN YOU ADD TWO TACO'S WHAT DO YA GET??? JUMBACO JUMBACO!

CAPS RAGER!

Such a good idea. I've ordered 15 of them since I first saw the commerical...

…this morning.

lol

JUMBACO JUMACO!

Excited to see Tyler

And excited his teammates are looking for him.

That WAS THE BEST PASS AYE VARRRR!

Udoh to Jeremy Tyler off the GLASS PASS!

Curry showin his baby-makin skills

Made FT from the C position!

Tyler looks like he could stand to put some muscle on

kurt thomas is going for 30 tonight

calling it now

Udoh nice short shot

nice shhot from Udoh

brick

hot damn

Rush cannot miss

HE CANNOT MISS

No way!!! rush hour deep 3!

BRUSH

RUSH!!!!

Man, Rush can't miss from 3!

THREE

That was even a deep 3

This should be our starting lineup

Agree

Nate Rob?

no it shouldnt

we just need a better starting lineup, but these guys are bench players

Rush should be the starting SF

Bingo

You got a point

but he also bring scoring off the bench Im sure Dwrong wont

but he also bring scoring off the bench Im sure Dwrong wont

Then what’s the point of having DWright at all, man?

perimeter defense

and some pump fakes.

Rush is a better defender, too

But if you bring Dwright

off the bench he can’t spark the Bench like Rush

you could apply this logic to any starter

Of course, I would bring Monta off the bench for that reason

He can help on rebounding too

+1!

Why so serious?

except curry and monta for klay and nate

otherwise yeah, tyler looks better then biedrins early and lee is just lee

sad transition d

Tyler and udoh together > Lee and Biedrins

You guy's better watch Klay, Udoh and Tyler cuz in a couple of years they will be our starters...maybe.

++++++1

Trade Lee and Biedrens for anythig.

gswarriors12 - January 25, 2012 reply

All star weekend

Brandon Rush vs Anthony Morrow
Make it happen.

yus

Four times the steak...

…four times the thick cuts of juicy, succulent steak!

Are people talking about the Clips a lot down there?

Not so much here in the Bay Area.

I have some friends down south who are Clippers fans and they are pretty stoked right now.

Ah

I was wondering because I’m reselling the games I can’t make it to down there, and the Boston, Chicago, and Orlando games sold right away… Clippers game has yet to sell.

Can we get Corey Maggette back to stop Aldridge?

montaigh!

hint: don't leave Lamarcus wide open

Raps are taking Utah to OT

GO TORONTO

We are double teaming aggressively, but we are slow to rotate….

lee cant get back to his man

Hasn't been just DLee

steffun!

CURRY!

4 guards on the floor

Great...

Small ball time

I. Do. Not. Understand.

Gotta reload the tank

over the back

omg lee

holy crap our second unit is better than our first.

brandon rush without doubt, should be our starting sf.

jeremy tyler has impressed. if he keeps this up he will be replacing biedrins. udoh is playing well on both ends too

I think Rush makes a very strong case for himself

especially when he stepped BACK to take a longer 3, and still hit it

monta is a natural sf

LOLZ WUT NOW?

acie law jokes

Lol

yeah he can guard Durant and Carmelo too even Lebron

nate robinson at the 5!

Put Nate against Dwight any day xD...

LOL

we can do this...

I’m gonna take a 3.

Swish!

PDX Broadcast Halftime Commentator:

“We’ll see you here in just a few minutes, Batum looking good tonight taking it in, drawing the foul— SKEET SKEET And1!”

Rush good defense

Liking Rush a lot

no foul?

Geez, don't leave Aldridge out there

Aldridge is money from there, someone might want to guard him

hey, here's a thought. guard LMA at the top of the key

Sac's having a meltdown

72-43 to start the 2nd half

wow

wtf

Where were ALL 5 guys in the paint?

That was horrible

Brandon Rush will never miss a long ranged shot again

getting the 4th quarter collapse in a little early tonight

Monta has been good setting people up so far

The offense hasn’t been there

However, Rush WILL miss a rebound

TRADE HIM!

I thought it would be Barron Time tonite, but I guess it's TYLER TIME!!!!

Lee, stop backing off so dam far, hes shooting jumpers

Mark Jackson with good coaching

Telling Nate they had foul to give

There you go!

Curry and Lee for a driving lay in

Nice

I want to see more plays like that

we still down 5

but good sequence

Best case scenario

we play hard, keep it close, end up losing

If ever that happen

another night is wasted. I should be doing something productive

Oh halftime, time to go on you tube and watch some UberHaxorNova! xD...

Did anybody just see Blake Griffin go around Pau Gasol and dip over over Bynum?

That’s fun to watch.

Lakers commentators are the woooorst.

complaining almost as much as Kobe does.

They arent THAT bad

yea a bunch of others are way worse

well my opinion is based

on 5 minutes of listening.. so I stand by it 100%!

Portland, Bulls, Rockets, Spurs, Heat even are all noticeably worse. =

sarcasm

I wasn’t trying to correct, but inform.

i wasn't trying to make

a factual statement.. just a funny.

Haha alright then. I do really like talking about bad announcers, though.

hahaha it can't get much worse than

Fitz’s “serbian slammer” calls. jk I really have never heard other team’s commentators much. It’s weird to me

anyone seen the video of Blake Griffin hard fouling himself

TMZ get ahold of that?

I’m sure it’s NSFW

I like it.

I'm a republican...

…but shhhhh… I like it too

Toronto's pulling out an OT win!!!

MORE MONTA ISO’s!!!!!

Milsap wtf lol

At the half, our starting PG has 0 assist, our starting SG, has 4 assists...what's wrong with that picture....

Our starting PG must not be as good as our starting SG

lol

Huh?

Curry should have at least that assist to DLee at the end of the half?

And despite all that

Nate played PG over both of them in the 2nd Qtr lol

Exactly my point....other than Monta's assists, I believe Lee had one, the rest of the starting five, including the PG that should be running the team, have zilch assists..

if he got it, it must have been the last 32 seconds, because that is when i went to check the stats...

yep. 3 seconds left.

OK, tx...still, not to swift when the SG is assisting, the PG is shooting, and so forth...lol

Also weird when your PG is way better than your SG at rebounding.

PG will normally get a bunch of defensive rebounds...

Monta usually gets a few rebounds and offensive on or two per game…he is not afraid to mix it up in there….My comments was not intended to differentiate between the capabilities of the two….Just pointing out how screwed up this team is…

Monta usually gets 3 rebounds a game, which is kinda really bad for the minutes he plays. I didn’t mean to start this argument though, just point out a weird incongruency in the box score. You’d expect your SG to be better at than your PG.

Oh, come off it Randy...Monta has been playing Everything Guard while Curry was hurt, and even pulled in 10 rebounds one night...I think he can out-rebounbd the shit out of Curry if needed, if, that is what you want to extract from me

My point was that this team is screwed up, not that any guard is better than the other…

I realize I shouldn’t have said anything cause I know I can’t comment on this issue without it seeming a little political. Still, Monta is objectively an awful rebounder and just cause he grabs 10 in a game doesn’t change that. To say that he could be a better rebounder than Curry is to go against reality. He’s doing a great job as the tank commander, so I’m thankful for that.

Getting back to my point, something sucks with a team that ur starting PG gets his first assist 3secs before half...and your SG has 4 assists/less shots

I’ll take that over like the Lakers situation where Derek Fisher gets 1 assist while shooting 3/10 haha.

Good game in LA

I wish we had Dennis Rodman

That dude was a legendary beast of a rebounder

That dude was the offspring of Mark Essex and Genie the feral child

I don't know what's wrong with the Warriors

The Blazers are on a back to back to back. Just outhustle them and you can win.

They're bigger, controlling tempo better?

teams are actually winning a lot on the last night of a b3b

Yup Lakers did it

Thunder too I think too much ball playing makes you better

i have discovered temple run…

Nice passing back and forth, Curry and Lee

Dwright

DDub

Nice lee to the hoop

Warriors play 2 bigs at the top of the key again

LOL Barnett re: Biedrens

“and once in awhile, dunk something in the basket”.

from your lips to God’s ears Jim

Biedrins needs the spiky hair back

The math teacher look made him lose his edge

LOL

Maybe he should get a couple of tattoos or something

Wear his headband like a gangsta over one eye

Running the same play again, getting the ball to Lee

Jose Calderon just hit the most insane 3

DWright needs to pump fake that one!

DDub

ugh

Sigh

Beans is useless right now

Hasn't he been since the end of game 3 this season?

Since he injured his ankle.

Not sure when

But he certainly has been pretty useless the last couple weeks

same game

different team

So we are getting beat on the boards... again

Lee needs to be tougher down below

Beans too

Rebound the friggen ball...

w00000t

Thank you based ddub god

Yeeaaah

kick to DWright 3

DDub

oh yeah

Got a gift there

looked like it should be a no call

Thanks Dwright

you need to keep your starting job

DDub

Drawing O's, the best D we can hope for from Steph

Well Dorell used up the last of his mojo for the night. Time to bring in Rush.

2 games straight

Curry gets that offensive foul

Wow, Wallace got super suckered into that pump fake

ugh Dorell

Just needed to pump and shoot there, no need to get fancy

That was one fancy pump fake

Curry bad shot - long 2. Should have been a 3

toe on the line :(

yup

Steph has to step back for the three

GREAT team defense

Nice shot Steph

Curry 3 - yeeeeaaaaah!

Curry!

THAT BALL MOVEMENT THO

They are executing semblence of half court offense?

say what?

Nice sequence there leading to a Curry 3.

There is Curry 3

OHHHHHHHHH YEEEEAH

Ball movement is an efficient way to break down and wear out an opponent's defense

We are destroying them with our shooters

Shooters is all we've got

that was a beautiful sequence

nice help d by beans leads to wonderful offense.

nice play!

Xtremelink - January 25, 2012 via mobile reply

That ball movement

makes Portland wants to go to bed

Toronto puts away Utah in Utah in 2OT, 111-106

Their first win over Utah since 2004 lol

Barbosa dagger in dis ish

Yay Jaymee sighting! =)

Beans is frustrated

I wish he'd play a little frustrated on offense

He needs to go to the rim, lay somebody out, get a charge and a T. The next time he sees that defender, maybe he will have earned a little respect.

Ugh Warriors, you're all the worst

Just cannot grab a board

http://i.imgur.com/UB1eV.gif

OT: The Cavs have a better record than the Knicks

My reaction

Melo and Stat are such an awful paring

Seriously

Melo-Amar’e was pretty much the worst basketball idea I’ve ever heard.

I thought it was gonna be be, I guess I was wrong

That Kyrie Irving kid is a pretty good player.

ROY

Rubio tho…

Here we go again

Again? I haven’t had this discussion on this site at all.

But I did

so it is like Troll

Anyway Rubio got Love

Kyrie bunch of role player

That argument is so bad it isn’t worth talking about.

kyrie's efficiency is just too good to overlook given the amount of defensive attention he gets

No doubt Kyrie is good, I’ve just fallen in love with Rubio. His game is pure basketball joy.

it's definitely more fun to watch minny than cleveland

You just fall in love with

his fancy passing and stuff but Kyrie carry the whole Cavs team

Then you agreed

that Kyrie for ROY you got no argument.

No, you misunderstand. You didn’t make an argument that’s worth talking about. If you mentioned Kyrie’s efficiency, Rubio’s lack of efficiency, really anything else, I would have responded. Instead, you chose to make the most asinine argument about Rubio that I didn’t want to waste my time. Frankly, that you think that’s a good argument makes me not want to waste my time hashing this out with you.

No you just got nothing to say

and you agreed that Kyrie gonna be ROY unless you just fall in love with his pretty fancy passes

what are you even talking about dude?

I didn’t agree with anything. Stop making up things.
Rubio is already an elite passer. He’s probably a better passer than Kyrie will ever be. That’s my main thing. He’s also a better rebounder and defensive player than Kyrie is. He’s more complete right now in part because of his crazy experience.
Kyrie is a better scorer. He’s a really good scorer though. That’s the only reason to take him.
Or, the way you would put it, the only way you’d take Kyrie is if you fall in love with his PPGZ.

I agreed with his Passing and playmaking

but he got Luke Ridnour on that roster. Some nights when Rubio is struggling Ridnour step up. Wait until Barea came back from injury. Kyrie nothing on his back. I believe someday Rubio will be MVP on these league but ROY is Kyrie

So because Rubio has some not awful teammates, he’s somehow less good than he would be otherwise? ROY isn’t like MVP for rookies. ROY is best rookie. Team quality doesn’t matter. Rubio’s individual play has been higher than Kyrie. He’s an elite passer, an effective defender and a good rebounder. He’s not efficient, but he’s a better shooter than expected.
Kyrie could very well be a better player. Rubio is 21(?) and Kyrie is 19. He has passing upside and is already a very good scorer/shooter. Up to this point, however, he’s worse at most of the game than Rubio. Not much of a defender (rookies never are, Rubio is barely a rookie), not a special passer, not remarkable at rebounding, etc. Rubio is a lot more than fancy passes or playing with Kevin Love. Saying that he is just makes you look kind of ignorant.

Well take out Love out of the

Wolves Im sure they gonna start losing game. So Rubio is not carrying the team Love does.

thats why he got 4 years 62 mil

I don’t get why “carrying a team” is relevant to a ROY discussion. That’s almost never been a consideration for ROY votes. When Curry was a rookie, he finished second despite playing with a high scoring Monta. If Tyreke had scored .5 PPG fewer, Curry would have won.. That’s an MVP argument, not a ROY argument. My contention is that Rubio has outplayed Kyrie. He’s played better than him all but 1 area of the game.

i'd argue that that one area is by a pretty staggering amount though lol

For sure, Kyrie has been a very good scorer and Rubio has been kind of bad. I would also point to the difference between their passing. Irving has been pretty underwhelming, where Rubio is next level.

that is actually one area where i think kyrie would benefit from better teammates

the other being turnovers

Tyreke ROY

of that year because he carry Sac Town Martin got trade. Curry 2nd Monta Got injured almost out for 3 months. Amnesia?

english please?

Lol

no I cant arguing and watching the game at the same time is hard

Arguing in general seems kinda hard for you…

Yeah I know

you are having a hard time

You’re barely speaking English and I’m the one having a hard time? hahha, you clearly don’t know how to make an argument. It’s kinda bad, dude. Are you still in highschool?

Let see you speak my language Filipino.

Why would I? Until the Phillipines become a top 5 world economy, I’ll just continue learning Japanese.

Then be thankful

I am talking to you in english. So you don’t have to learn my language. Im doing you a favor here lol.

No, you really aren’t. I’d be much better off if I wasn’t talking to you.

Then why are you keep

on replying I said in the first place this is a Troll thread. And I don’t care if you got a better vocabulary than me. all that matter is I understand english but you don’t understand my language.

I don’t really think that matters. I don’t know what situation has me benefit significantly from speaking Filipino.

I thought it was Tagalog?

Well tagalog is one of our language

we got a lot of dialect

lol okay

i guess every filipino Ive ever known well has just spoken the same dialect

tagalog is just a regional dialect

filipino and english are the official languages.

I didn’t know that. I have a friend who is Filipino and she says th

woops

she knows tagalog, so I assumed that was the language. Good to know.

actually i just looked it up

apparently there are different dialects of the tagalog language and filipino is just the one that’s considered the national language

Oh really

then next time you might reply back in tagalog. She can teach you one or two words. Then we are even.

Why are you so fixated on that? Did you realize your argument about Kyrie was so offensively bad that you just had to find a weird thing to beat me on? It has nothing to do with anything. It’s cool that you know English, but it behooves you to speak the language. When you count secondary languages, it’s the most widely spoken language in the world.

First of all It is too early to tell who will be the ROY. Unless the Wolves make the playoffs. And traded Ridnour. I don’t see Rubio as a ROY.

And you are the one who insulted

me personally. And my country man. You might be a english teacher. But be careful on insulting people on the internet.

No, Tyreke got ROY because of the mythic 20-5-5 statline. He was being compared to LeBron, MJ and Oscar Robertson. He carried a team to like 20 wins that year. Why should he get credit for being the best player on a really really bad team? The only reason that the Kevin Martin trade helped him get ROY is because it got him more touches.

Let see Cavs

got a better record than the Knicks right now. Last year they got the worst record. So tell me the Tyreke analogy

the knicks are terrible

been cleaning up picking against them all season

vegas thinks they’re good for some reason.

The Knicks are awful, man. I don’t know why they matter.
This is what I’m talking about when I say you don’t know how to argue. You’re jumping all over the place, your statements are unclear, your arguments aren’t remotely cogent. Come on, man.

It means that

Cavs is better team than last year right?

varejao has been just as much a part of that as kyrie

Yeah, but they were the worst team ever last year. Kyrie can be good without being as good as Ricky Rubio. Pretty sure there’s a syllogism about that.

i find it surprising that kyrie is only playing 27 mins/game

i don’t think there’s that big of a difference in their rebounding, once you factor in minnesota’s faster pace and rubio playing more minutes. rubio is probably a marginally better rebounder.

Wow, only 27 minutes? That’s insanely low.

yea i think i heard something like his conditioning was pretty bad coming out of the lockout

OH RICKY YOUR SO FINE, YOUR SO FINE THAT YOU BLOW MY MIND. HEY RICKY clap clap clap

I love Curry, but how long is it before he’s only the 15th best PG in the league? The talent that’s come in at hte PG position is insane.

saw him live dismantling the suns @phx.

he’s effortless. I see a lot of CP3 in him.

hopefully

They decide to blow up the team and we get Tyson Chandler for cheap

Well

Guess that still wouldn’t work though

andris out boarded by mathews?

We can at least count on Curry's shooting

Great defense Monta and Curry

Lee with a midrange shot, yeah

Anyone know a website to stream this game?

First Row Sports.

for some reason, it’s really choppy.

FurryCurry - January 25, 2012 reply

Stream works fine for me.

curse going to school in So Cal :(

FurryCurry - January 25, 2012 reply

Curry good defense top stop a felton drive

er, to stop

Wes Matthews is a pretty damn good player.

Huh Fitz?

TOs are 7-7 and Warriors are taking better care of the ball?

compared to previous games

i heard that too

Monta post up kick back to Curry

nice post up

Curry is 10-14

OOoooooooo yea

hahaha Durrrrrrrell

Dorell Pietrus

+1

Good thing Curry rotated

Oooh, Crawford might have a case

that was a lazy lookin free throw

Curry Judo. Hits his hand and knocks him to the ground

No foul due to overacting

Curry 33333

CURRY

Curry Petrovic

bet he was scared about his ankle

Curry TIRED on that fast break

FAIL

or not

Oh goddamn it

Finally Dorell!!!

Great effort

Great effort great effort great effort

Monta doing his best Jason Kidd while Curry doing his best Reggie Miller

Hey I have that shirt

Dorell didn’t pump fake the dunk… ugh.

you can see in his eyes he thought about it though!

Whoo!

That’s what you do on a team on their back to back to back! You run out on them!

I think Curry

think about his ankle that’s why he did not jump too high

he looks fatigued

Yeah

I was holding my breath there

Yeah he looks tired

LGW!

i think the key right now is monta + curry = 1 turnover

Definitley

Steph is shooting it really well..

and Monta is dishing it well. DLee is too

Time for a 2 for 1

Freaking Crawford…

Jamal Crawford

crowd killer

Dwright w/ 3 pump fakes on that play!

Yes, great Curry save!

was that curry w/ the save? or monta?

i THINK that was Curry

it all happened so fast. Someone jumped out trying to save it and throw it off a Blazer

wtf

From yahoo:

Slam dunk by Dorell Wright. Assist: Dorell Wright

hahahahahahahahaha

ESPN credited Curry with the assist.

I think they are all tied directly into the NBA boxscore though.

Funny thing is they had it credited to Curry a minute ago.

Warrior Wonder!

CURRY TO DORELL!!!!!!

Nice way to close the quarter

Momentum

Wanna see some Tyler to start the 4th

Let's keep this up in the 4th

Dorell you disappoint me… pump fake the dunk dammit!

double pump dunks

Dwright got a future

on football

Now let's see if

our bench actually plays in the 4th this time..

Griffin is a beast lol

I hope someone gifs curry's dance on the bench

4QC time

the scariest qtr of the game now

The suspense is like a horror movie!

Take our Curry

he looks gassed

*out

Udoh man sized rebound

udoh boards!

Lee midrange jumper looks good

Ekpe with the nice hustle!

Keep running it!

Why do they never dunk!?

Lee lucky multi-bounce

it's called the backboard

use it on layups guys

What a roll

You gotta play D for 24 sec

Udoh!!

Ugh, we never grab the blocked balls

Udoh saved a turnover

never mind

My feed froze

What happened?

Udoh recognized the soft pass from Curry

tried to save it, but a Blazer fought for the ball too and got it

And so begins...................

We make simple passes look so hard

That was a soft floater pass

At least Udoh tried to save it

Ok. You've shown me enough. Time to lose..

Don't panic

We love the old turnovers in the 4th haha

gameover.

too much dribbling curry

There goes Curry with that one armed pass attempt

Cmon Curry

Seriously Rush? Ugh, just take a 3 next time

Lee looks so clunky with his post moves

Udoh with the help block!

That should have been a travel

Yeah it should

But refs almost never call it

No-O-Udoh.

We've seen this before, 4th qtr collapse

We're still good...

…for now.

I've heard that before in the last game

TRAVEL!!

Monta GREAT inside pass to Udoh dunk!

You MUST put a body on Crawford at all tims

UDOH

There's the monta we know!

That was an ugly miss

Noooo

Not the elbow!

No way

who lost a tooth?

Lee needs to change his jersey - blood

Wow David is bleeding a lot

Are you serious with the elbow?

Wait a minute…

Does D. Lee have "D. Lee" tatted on his back?

D L

Just in case whoever's behind him forgets his name?

I think MC Hammer is in the house

Yup

AND 1

DLee!

LEE

Jet Lee

I'm wondering, how long before Biedrins becomes a desirable trade asset?

well you know Houston wanted him

before they signed Dalembert who has about an equally atrocious post game as Beans but he actually tries to drive and dunk or attempt 5 foot hooks, etc

monta with only 5 shots? huh?

i noticed some plays he took off on d and MJ was none too pleased bout it.

also i’m shocked the Blazers have won so much with Crawford and Felton shooiting as horrendously as they have this season

Tolli sighting!

I forgot Curry ever wore the old jersey.

yeah rookie year, last year with Nellie

too bad he didnt get unleashed until after the trade deadline

Whoa, that was another soft Curry pass, almost intercepted

Monta baaaad foul

you bailed out Crawford after he beat you

I hate those so much

I'll take that Aldrige airball

why do i feel like I'm watching a game I've already seen?

...buy Rush jersey

mental note

Monta nice fadeaway over Crawford

if we choke this one away with them on a back-to-back-toback ...

Ronaldinho - January 25, 2012 reply

Would be a good time for Monta to hit some shots

he seems like one of the last guys we want shooting right now

You know he will though

So he needs to hit them :/

Yes, travel!

A gift travel

Ekpe's having a game

hustlin

Ekpe is playing well

Ugh, feed died

Monta threw up some junk.

When will you attack the basket

Monta

when he grows 3 more inches

We're lucky Wallace missed

He had great position

fatigue

Curry clutch 2

Live and die

with Jumpers

It's all we got

DLee and Monta are our best post up guys

There’s also layups and dunks.

Ok

Monta and Dlee are our best guys inside :D

A monta 3? Why?\

the play fell apart when lee had the ball knocked away

shot clock

Definitely not Monta's night shooting

that was a bad miss, too

Blazers keep going to Aldridge

Curry creating for Lee

nice!

Is it me

Or has DLee’s jumper been flat these last couple games?

That barely cleared the rim.

Did it go in?

yes

Still flat jerk

Jerk?

I take exception to that. I am an asshole. Please get it right.

Everyone on the team shoots knuckleballs except for Curry and Klay.

Get a couple of more stops and we win

Awesome game dudes!

………….now blow it.

Yes please,

is it just me or is there some jackie chan thing in the background of the stream?

I like the Primus on the NBA commercial

Ooooof, Monta got caught in the air again

Monta can't possibly be this stupid, can he?

Udoh has been solid on the glass today.
Also: Monta, that’s why they teach you not to jump and pass.

Udoh has more boards than DLee

That's why you dont jump and pass goddamn it

Monta gonna log 40 minutes

Fatigue might be setting in for the Blazers

Don't foul if they're tired!

I'm @ this game and it won't show much in the stat sheet, but

Ekpe = pure defense against LMA (and some others)

cam3racks - January 25, 2012 via mobile reply

yep

Not to be “hey look, he had a good game so he’s good” but this is an example of the kind of stuff I was talking about the other night on here. The defense he plays is just so good.

Yes

Running out on the Blazers worked

another steller game by beans

Gotta love it when Crawford forces his shots… when he’s cold, he’s very very cold.

unless this goes to overtime, monta is only warrior with over 40 minutes

it's amazing that Lee has 26 pts

he just accumulates them quietly

damn how are we doing well today?

i know curry’s red hot from the stat sheet, and dlee put in work, but monta hasn’t done much scoring. 11 assists though! who’s been good?!

killerk968 - January 25, 2012 reply

Curry is totally trapped!

Luckily, he calls timeout

love seeing that jeremy tyler played

too!

killerk968 - January 25, 2012 reply

I thought he played well too

yeah, he didn't shoot an airball

whaaaaaaaa

wow. seriously...

oh my god, 5 second call, turnover

what the f was that?

Wow

Curry

WHY.

That's ankle nerves yo

Wow, somehow, we save ourselves from our own mistakes

phew, almost

Batum is pretty good at chase down blocks. Gotta watch out for that Curry.

i KNEW Curry would get blocked on that fast break

saw it coming

He doesn't want to explode off that ankle.

my feeling is that even if he did, he would have been blocked

whoever Blazer that blocked him looked like he had the timing of the block ready the entire time he chased down Curry

Yeah

Curry is not known for his Tremendous Hops, even with two good ankles.

GD' it

Well the Warriors pulled this out

shhh, not yet

Don't panic

Stay focused

if we lose this, i will commit suiceide

calvinnhobbes - January 25, 2012 reply

Not cool to joke about, man.

I hope you’re kidding. If not, get help. Seriously.

3 possession ball game

Ekpe won us the game

He was definitely a factor

Epic Udoh

Had some extra hustle tonight it seemed

Wes Matthews still drains a jumper.

Woo!

We broke 100 points in regulation!

ok, NOW it's over

VICTORY

6/8 for threes, wow

Monta. Please defer more..

WINNNNNN

FINALLY

killerk968 - January 25, 2012 reply

Relief

Winning is better than losing.

ain't it the truth!

That's two mostly really good games in a row.

We Win!

Didn’t expect it, but will definitely take it.

Wow,

EXCELLENT shooting night by steph, EXCELLENT passing night by ellis, EXCELLENT all around effort by lee, and i cant believe im saying this but UDOH WAS FREAKIN GREAT THIS GAME.

Warriors are back in the playoff race

Why did Monta defer so much?

Not always a bad thing, but thats just not him. So I’m left asking why?

GSW_fan - January 25, 2012 reply

His shot wasn't falling

And Curry was on fire.

Monta had good passing games every game this year when Curry was also playing.

Raiiny - January 25, 2012 reply

because he knew that he would have to try something completely different, it worked!

monta probably would have shot more if he made his first couple. but he realized he wasnt on target today.

I guess the passes were there

well said, we are a lot more active and proper positioning and movement off ball, making the assists easy.

Monta defers this year

When Curry is healthy and playing.

Raiiny - January 25, 2012 reply

But in previous games, he's deferred a different way.

Tonight it seemed he was trying to exclusively become a passer.

great win tonight

i’m glad Jeremy Tyler earned some play time

Staticlysmic - January 25, 2012 reply

I am losing my patience for Beans again

He’s done absolutely nothing these last few games

not true, beans continues to foul at a record rate. he is second to no one in this department.

truthfully, jeremy showed some good stuff and was active while on the court. im really hoping he will replace biedrins sooner rather than later.

Andris Biedrins is fouling at a high rate, but Reggie Evans and Aaron Gray actually foul at a higher rate than him. Ekpe Udoh and Cousins are exactly in line with him, and there are a lot of guys in the same range as him.

i didnt research it, i really only watch warriors games, i was making a point through hyperbole.

yes ekpe does foul a lot too. wish he bulked up so he didnt have to push so obviously so much resulting in a foul.

Lol, I was just looking. Biedrins is 6.6 per 40. Klay Thompson is 5.9 per 40. Hahahha

dam, klay still needs to learn.

Jeremy Lin up there too, but he hasn't played much.

Same as two years ago (I think it was) , injured his ankle and was never good the rest of the season, right?

Same last year too IIRC

at least he's consistent

at stinking. I knew all that hype about this being a different season for him wouldn’t last long. Unfortunately, they are stuck with him until that bloated contract of his is up.

i never believed it in the first place

I didn’t read anything different about Biedrins from his training camp interviews

yup agree

was anyone else beginning to worry when we saw the fail pick and roll twice in the mid 4th quarter?

I like how monta adjusted his game

shows why he is the leader of the team

dubtown - January 25, 2012 reply

i liked was how he seemed to care a lot about taking care of the possession and minimizing his mistakes. when he makes good decisions, the team definitely is better with him on the floor.

Ekpe is a damn good defender. I think he should get more credit for it. When defending power forwards he always gives them fits in the post. I know Monroe puts up the points but defense like his should be celebrated.

you are absolutely right. he is really good and defending power forwards.

luckily the matchup today with camby nonexistent on offense, allowed us to get away with having dlee at center. but what happens when we need someone to guard center? i WISH ekpe bulked up.

Thats why we need a real C.

i agree 100%

now the problem is, if ekpe is in the game for defense, we wont have dlee to score like he did today. ekpe is definitely not even close offensively. what a dilemma. is it not?

I really thought Ekpe and Lee could play together

Turns out they can’t

hahaha i remember you. well looks like ekpe made up for playing poorly against memphis.

luckily this matchup allowed dlee a pass on defense. definitely wont happen most nights..

sorry about the grammar and all, im a bit drunk.

Larry Riley should be in jail for robbing the pacers in the Rush trade.

Lol

in dallas

Got a sports bar to turn the game on.

I hate to say this. I agree with J. It’s friendlier/more fun outside the bay

That's why we need Lacob to build more clubs

It's not about clubs

It’s about the fact the bay (for all it’s ‘diversity’) is simply more segregated than the rest of the country.

I’m sorry, I’ve been to NY, Chicago a bunch for work, but I don’t know what it is, being in Dallas made me really realize it. It’s simply not as diverse

new york is not a friendly place thats for sure.

i love nyc

Always had a great time with strangers.

NYC treats vistors and newcomers better

than some other similar big cities, like Chi or Bos. NY is a city of the newly arrived, in many ways.

LOL, the irony

Dude at the bar I was talking to while watching warriors game and LAC/LAL game gave me free passes to a club. I said no (cause I have a meeting in 6 hours, but still)

Yeah yeah, we get you think Riley is a great GM unlike the rest of us.

He’s a pretty good GM. He drafted the franchise player and have Dorell and Rush for less than 6 mill on the cap.

Curry isnt a franchise guy in all likelihood

but it was a good pick

dubzfan - January 26, 2012 reply

HAHAH. rush should really be starting at sf and getting starter minutes. he is that good.
