Things have gotten so bad for both teams, neither NBA team website has a preview for this game. So let us divert our attention to the more interesting topic. At this point, sitting at 6-12, would you (loyal Warriors fan) rather have Keith Smart, who is 4-9 since he took over, or Mark Jackson? Vote below!
Hit the jump for the preview...
Here are the matchups for tonight's 2012 cellar-dweller-era...
Combo guard slot #1: Stephen Curry vs Jimmer Fredette. The Jimmer! This should be a most interesting matchup. Steph on a painful ankle against Jimmer's slow lateral movement. I often joked last year that Jimmer could be a bigger Steph. We'll see. Jimmer's averaged 16.5 ppg in the last four games, making more treys than two-pointers in each of those games.
Combo guard slot #2: Monta Ellis vs Tyreke Evans. Man, if we could combine these two into one player, we'd probably have a bonafide elite 2-guard a la Mitch Richmond, albeit with markedly worse outside shooting percentage than the future Hall-of-Famer (yep!). Monta should be able to stay in front of Tyreke, as long as he's trying. On the flip side, Tyreke should be able to outmuscle Monta to the hoop, and probably won't be able to stay in front of Monta. But look for Monta to have a breakout game after deferring to Steph two games ago vs the Blazers, then having a subpar performance against the Thunder.
"Swingman" who should be working on the other part:Dorell Wright vs John Salmons. Again, if we could combine these two, we'd have an all-star. Dorell obviously can be a knock-down stand-still spot-up shooter (seems like the more dashes you have to describe yourself, the less likely an all-star you are), while Salmons is particularly good at driving to the hoop while his outside shot is suspect. Warriors assistant Pete Myers coached Salmons during their stays with the Bulls, so hopefully the Warriors can keep Salmons in check. This matchup probably won't be at the forefront because if Brandon Rush comes in and has a solid game, Dorell might be on the bench for awhile. After all, only one of them can play at the same time. It is in the NBA rule book, I think.
Unathletic power forward: David Lee vs Jason Thompson. Let's see if D.Lee can continue the good knuckleball shooting. When that's on, against an unathletic defender, D.Lee can be "unstoppable" (baby!). But if that's not falling, yikes. We'll see soon enough, because D.Lee is Option Number Two. According to the NBA media notes, Thompson is shooting 65% through the last three games.
Center:AndrEkpe Udoh vs DeMarcus Cousins. Yup, that two-headed monster we have securing the paint starts out as Andris Biedrins then quickly morphs into Ekpe Udoh. Seriously though, per Steiny-Mo, you might see Beans a little more tonight, since he's the better post defender. I didn't think AB had done anything to put himself on the bench after 9 minutes against OKC the other night, but maybe it will help his pysche. Here's the weird line of thinking. He knows he might get yanked, so he further maximizes his opportunities out there knowing he could be back on the bench quick-style.
Bench: Once again, it's like the Warriors strengths are exactly what the Kings are missing, and vice versa. I really like the Kings roster upfront: Donte Greene at 6'11", J.J. Hickson, and the project, Hassan Whiteside. For the Warriors, again we'll see if Klay Thompson and Rush can continue stroking it, if Nate Robinson has more spectacular plays than brain farts, and Jeremy Tyler can continue his hustle and slow developmental trend towards the ultimate goal of beasting. My prediction: Klay has an off night because that's what happens with rookies. On the other hand, Nate had a few IQ blunders last game, so expect him to bust out the cape tonight.
Washington connection: Nate Robinson vs Isaiah Thomas. These two are very close friends and it might be interesting if they are matched up together at any given point. Per the NBA media notes:
Isaiah Thomas is averaging 13.3 ppg inthe last three games. Thomas is shooting .688 (11-16 FG) from the field and .833 (5-6 3pt) from 3-point range in the last two games.
If you're in the doldrums by both teams' records and Mark Jackson's insistence that the Warriors still have a chance at the playoffs, focus on the performance of DeMarcus Cousins. In Summer League two years ago, you could see the talent oozing and he and John Wall were clearly the two best players that summer. I know that if I were running the Warriors, first of all I'd be particular strong in the psychology side of the game with my staff, and I'd have DeMarcus very high on my list. But some higher-ups just don't know how to deal with players whose passion for the game is scattered all over the place.
Straight from the NBA media notes...
DeMarcus Cousins has recorded double-doubles in five in the last six games. Cousins is averaging 15.2 ppg and 11.6 rpg in the last 13 contests.
I've been poking fun at both teams, but in all seriousness, it's ironic how both franchises have not been the same since the departure of Chris Webber at each location. Ah, memories.
just remember how ridicule of keith smart when he took over around this same time until the end.
i never really hated him or anything like that, but WOW were there alot of criticism of him even though it was his first year. But I still voted MJ just because of the defense Mike Malone has brought in. If I could, I would fire MJ or demote him and make Malone the head coach.
but I voted for Smart only because its obvious he is a band aid and not a permanent fix. Mark Jackson is just not very good, and its not suprising given his ZERO coaching expirience…..
Wining by 20 the first 3 Qs because we were drawing fouls vs Memphis, then on the 4th we only draw 1 foul or something?? Same with the game against OKC. Not to mention we lost the game to Magics because we draw too many fouls on a bad FT shooter. We need to draw more fouls, and the best way to do this is to put Beans in the game! Let him attack and draw fouls, we care if he missed all the FTs. It is not like DLee, Monta, Udoh and others don’t miss FTs. I said let Beans go for the records, draw 35 fouls or something. at least he will get 5pts out of those and he get to practice his FT shooting in a real game!
You really think the Warriors don’t earn ANY fouls whatsoever over 16 minute stretches? I find that hard to believe when you see some of the touch fouls they call. I just don’t see that many touch fouls being called in the Warriors’ favor.
Not that it matters, really. If the Warriors could build and HOLD a lead, getting fouls or not shouldn’t matter that much.
Beans is absolutely terrified to shoot a free throw. He avoids anything that could possibly end up with him and ball anywhere near the free throw line. He doesn’t even dive for loose balls near the free throw line.
He won’t shoot free throws. He doesn’t even like to make moves that could earn him fouls. That’s a big problem for a guy who is supposed to live in the paint.
just tell him to go for it. Beans is willing to listen to Smart to do post-up so it shouldn’t be hard for MJ to tell him to cut on every single perception.
but that’s only because he had SOME head coaching experience. I like Jackson, though, and I think he will ultimately have success.
But frankly, this question is hard to answer. Both coaches have losing records largely due to highly-flawed rosters and early injuries to key players (Smart has now has two such experiences). I wouldn’t expect Red Auerbach or Phil Jackson to do much better in this situation. Give Smart or Jackson a full roster, no injuries, with healthy Lebron, D. Wade and Chris Bosh and they might have more success than they are having now.
Time for Tyler to start his new role as the starting center for the Warriors. I want to see him go up against Cousins. I am finally done with Beans and his 0% from the line. If we are going to lose, I want some entertainment and laughing at AB just doesn’t cut it any longer.
Biedrins has made 14 free throws in the last THREE SEASONS combined
Yes, you read that right. That’s 14 free throws over 107 games. At this point, he’s been broadcasting his aversion of the charity stripe for so long, that it’s a little insulting that he has to go to this length to get his wish to be benched permanently. He clearly hasn’t wanted to play for 3 years.
It’s stonishing that Biedrins is still allowed to call himself a professional. And do you believe he’s getting $9M/yr to jog around the floor for abot 20 minutes/game just to pass the ball to Curry or Ellis?
Warrior blunder #875: NOT USING THE AMNESTY on Andris Biedrins.
He is a 24 year old kid with a nice hair MJ. Coach needs to tell him what to do. Beans still rebounds, blocks and defense well. Just tell him it is okay to draw fouls. I know Beans gets offense rebounds and then pass it out to teammates, but at least he is not making turnovers.
Are the Warriors secretly tanking right now? They’re still talking about playoffs and stuff, but they keep losing… maybe Mark Jackson is smarter than we thought.
The kings played the spurs right down to the wire at home so they are improving. Despite the apparent firing/hiring evidence to the contrary I still maintain that smart has more coaching experience than jackson so he get’s my vote.
Outcome of the game really means only that one of our NorCal teams gets a step closer to a first round draft pick in a strong draft year so life is good.
Their backcourt is lethal. With Thornton coming off the bench is just amazing. Then with Cousins and Chuck Hayes who always seem to dominate us. Donte Greene always seems to fluke some threes against us too.. I reckon we’ll lose, not cause we’re tanking. Just cause they’re probably better.
“biedrens is the only center on our roster” Comcast just made a joke about Barron not liking the comment, but what about Tyler? Like he’s not even considered for more minutes
He wrote a letter saying how sorry he is to the Clippers fans on leaving the Clippers. He also said he wants to join the Clippers and have his jersey retired in staples center. Lol what a loser! Oh and good luck on tonight’s game game guys.
I think if we were to ever realistically turn it around here with Monta
he’d have to accept and embrace a little discipline and a sized down role. But I don’t think Monta’s ego would ever allow that here, so writings on the wall. Well, could be.
10:52 1-2 Andris Biedrins makes 3-foot two point shot (Stephen Curry assists)
9:03 5-4 Andris Biedrins makes two point shot (Stephen Curry assists)
6:18 12-11 Dorell Wright makes two point shot (Stephen Curry assists)
4:11 18-16 David Lee makes 1-foot two point shot (Stephen Curry assists)
3:56 18-18 Monta Ellis makes 20-foot jumper (Stephen Curry assists)
1:24 23-22 David Lee makes 1-foot two point shot (Stephen Curry assists)
I am reminded of stories about how Nellie used to have a point forward, which allowed him to run 2 shooting guards on the floor. Wonder if MJ will do this with Lee at the point, and Monta and Curry as scorers
If you look at our pace, it’s above league average, but nowhere where we used to be. We’re more annoyed because we don’t see fastbreak basketball anymore
there has been no improvement (especially defensively, which was SUPPOSED to be what the coaches focused on), but we’re playing much slower. That means we’re not as exciting but just as bad.
Seriously, you’ve never heard of NBA starters being angry they were benched/not playing? Are you sure you’re thinking of real life and not a video game?
i think it's about time to accept that the warriors are not good enough to make the playoffs, but too good to get a top 7 pick without some major lottery help
Not with good players only staying for a year or two. Every player on the Kings was a star in college. Jimmer was one of the best i the nation and look how much trouble he is having in the pros.
at any given time, anyone has a chance against anyone
but NBA teams should always be heavy favorites over college teams
top to bottom, the talent just doesn’t compare, and what a lot of college players are coached to do (even on teams with well-respected coaches), just doesn’t work if they’re going up against an NBA teams
zone, and long 3s and runners will not win you a game in the nba in most cases, even when the talent is even. i can’t imagine the chances when it’s not.
could they win ONE game if they were matched up? yeah, it’s possible, and the small chance is of course greater with superstars like LeBron or Dwight. but they’d have to play an amazing game AND get good play from everyone around them, as well as see a down game from the NBA team in general.
do you think calling it a playoff team would help the team rise to the expectations he sets, or put more pressure on them and lead to an ever greater failure?
i think it depends on the type of players you have and also how well they’re already playing together.
I think for this team, since they’re not playing well together yet, the pressure of making the playoffs just adds to the friction and makes it all that much harder to figure each other out.
If this team already has their players figured out, plays, rotations, etc, then setting high expectations gives them something to strive for.
Bottom is that our reserves are better than our starterss – play more defense, better size, better rebounding, less selfish – it shows up pretty much every game – the eye test, in the box scores, in the +/-, advanced statistics like win shares.
C. Irrelevant
Spider Jerusalem - January 31, 2012
Also, JJ Hickson might be the worst player getting regular minutes in the NBA.
So don’t feel about about not having him.
Spider Jerusalem - January 31, 2012
He's a better rebounder than anyone on the Warriors :/
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012

bimmercirem3 - January 31, 2012
To be fair, most of the criticism was based on Smart's horrid rotations whenever he took over for Nellie.
Spider Jerusalem - January 31, 2012
Thats next years plan… managemet needed a scape goat…
squadmog - January 31, 2012
Give Beans more minutes, please
15 pts!
ILoveWarriorsGirls - January 31, 2012
smart for sure
Mainly coz Mark Jackson is a douche and should not be a head coach anywhere.
maryjane - January 31, 2012
I wish there was an option for neither....
but I voted for Smart only because its obvious he is a band aid and not a permanent fix. Mark Jackson is just not very good, and its not suprising given his ZERO coaching expirience…..
warriorsscore110 - January 31, 2012
We need to draw more fouls in the game.

ILoveWarriorsGirls - January 31, 2012
We need the refs to CALL more fouls
You really think the Warriors don’t earn ANY fouls whatsoever over 16 minute stretches? I find that hard to believe when you see some of the touch fouls they call. I just don’t see that many touch fouls being called in the Warriors’ favor.
Not that it matters, really. If the Warriors could build and HOLD a lead, getting fouls or not shouldn’t matter that much.
Tremendous Hops - January 31, 2012
If we put Beans in the game, for sure it will get foul calls
and that’s what we need~
ILoveWarriorsGirls - January 31, 2012
If you hadn't noticed
Beans is absolutely terrified to shoot a free throw. He avoids anything that could possibly end up with him and ball anywhere near the free throw line. He doesn’t even dive for loose balls near the free throw line.
He won’t shoot free throws. He doesn’t even like to make moves that could earn him fouls. That’s a big problem for a guy who is supposed to live in the paint.
Tremendous Hops - January 31, 2012
That sounds like a easy fix
Beans said he does whatever MJ said. All MJ has to is to tell him is to get more foul draws and practice his FT in a real game.
To me, when someone “afraid” to get to the FT line is more about what coach tells or not telling him to do.
ILoveWarriorsGirls - January 31, 2012
How can you say that? It’s pretty clear cut, he won’t cut to rim unless NO ONE is around
tafkasam - January 31, 2012
just tell him to go for it. Beans is willing to listen to Smart to do post-up so it shouldn’t be hard for MJ to tell him to cut on every single perception.

In short; the jury is still out.

Center Change
Time for Tyler to start his new role as the starting center for the Warriors. I want to see him go up against Cousins. I am finally done with Beans and his 0% from the line. If we are going to lose, I want some entertainment and laughing at AB just doesn’t cut it any longer.

Wow. What a joke of a player he’s become
tafkasam - January 31, 2012
Beans is shooting at 70%
the coach needs to make things work for him.

…are you Andris Biedrins in disguise???
Or a family member of his?
Tremendous Hops - January 31, 2012
I have to wonder
Are the Warriors secretly tanking right now? They’re still talking about playoffs and stuff, but they keep losing… maybe Mark Jackson is smarter than we thought.
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
I have thought the same thing. At the most opportune times we seem to blunder perfectly.
Critical Roach - January 31, 2012
I voted Smart. Only because we were more entertaining last year. If we are going to suck, do it in style.
Supafishal - January 31, 2012
I think we got this win tonight
Just play smart, no stupid fouls or turnovers, and stay cool.
The Kings will self-destruct.
Ever since they traded Kevin Martin, the Kings just don’t scare me anymore.
Duby Dub Dubs - January 31, 2012
Be careful, you might get in hot water around here for actively rooting for the Warriors to win.
Pippen - January 31, 2012
Cus is going to go off. The W’s have no one to stop him.
qin - January 31, 2012
Beans will stop him
and Udoh will piss him off
ILoveWarriorsGirls - January 31, 2012
and Udoh will piss him off
hahahahahaha
Tremendous Hops - January 31, 2012
LOL
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
Dubs don't really need anyone to stop him
meh, he’s still pretty inefficient, I’ll be happy as long as we don’t let him get our bigs in foul trouble
But as an aside, I agree with I <3 Warriors girls…between Beans and Udoh, we have plenty of defensive prowess to match up against Cuz
Duby Dub Dubs - January 31, 2012
It's a win-win situation
The kings played the spurs right down to the wire at home so they are improving. Despite the apparent firing/hiring evidence to the contrary I still maintain that smart has more coaching experience than jackson so he get’s my vote.

They are a guard dilemma and a lack of SF away from being better but they got potential.
Skeptic con Urquell - January 31, 2012
crap, forgot about Hayes
…there goes our rebounding advantage!
Also in Kings favor, Smart really knows our players, should be able to convert that knowledge into some sort of practical advantage
Duby Dub Dubs - January 31, 2012
crap, forgot about Hayes there goes our rebounding advantage!
he might still be hurt. He tweaked his sore arm on the last play of the spurs game.
Skeptic con Urquell - January 31, 2012
well, here's hoping he's got a case of the BWright
because it sounds like he is available tonight (I guess they’ll just let him do the whole Lethal Weapon shoulder thing for the rest of the season)
Coach Keith Smart says Chuck Hayes is fine and will play at Golden State Tuesday.
Duby Dub Dubs - January 31, 2012
Play all three rookies at leasat 15minutes each please!
HUNGRY HUNTER - January 31, 2012
Just to see what they really have. We are going no where so we might as well see what we have in our rookies.
Critical Roach - January 31, 2012
What about MFJ comment after last game
“biedrens is the only center on our roster” Comcast just made a joke about Barron not liking the comment, but what about Tyler? Like he’s not even considered for more minutes

’cause if we fire our coach and make Smart coach he will play Cousins 40 minutes a night and then we will start winning!
Yours Truly,

P.S. We will start winning right?
cybermaldonado - January 31, 2012
I think the big question is
Will Chuck Hayes get another unlikely triple double?
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
i wouldn't call it unlikely ;)
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
He averaged like two assists a game or something... until he played us
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
yes but all those games weren't with david lee defending him
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
I don't think a quadruple double is out of the question
Second coming of Hakeem

Just like Keith Smart
MJ runs a play for Biedrins to start the game
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
I guess that's why Jackson was excited for Beans, get him in the Keith Smart mode of
“I’m going to force the ball to you in the post early”.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
Take a shot every time Cus doesn't cry for a foul.
(You wont need any liquor to play)
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
Look at Fitz, he calls Cuz out on FG% and yet if he was on the Warriors he'd praise him and how he's not reached his potential yet.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
There's Biedrins with a soft hook, nice
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012

123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
yes lol
speaking from his pov
Joshpreet - January 31, 2012
IT'S ANDRIS' GAME
FEED THE BEAST
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
That was bad post defense by cousins.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
Biedrins made a FT!
It won’t be 0%!
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
It's like a pitcher in baseball who gets a hit
“Now he’s got an average”
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
MADE FREE THROW!!!!
broke the seal
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
Beans got involve
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012

cybermaldonado - January 31, 2012

doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
Biedrins another aggressive post
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Wow Fitz

mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
fitz;; AND HE MAKES THE FREETHROW!!!!
PIRATEWARRIOR - January 31, 2012
it's like halley's comet; once in a lifetime event
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
lol no doubt
PIRATEWARRIOR - January 31, 2012
trade him quick!
cybermaldonado - January 31, 2012
get that trade value up!
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
LOL
PIRATEWARRIOR - January 31, 2012
Biedrins has had three hook shots
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
i like getting beans involved. i don’t think he’d touched the ball in the past 2 games
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
niiiiice
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
Monta finding DWright on the inside!
sweet
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Lucky Dorell came in
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
Monta everything but the finish
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
JT killing us.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
Oh, so Jason Thompson is the one getting the triple double tonight
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
thats what it looks like
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
the fuck was that
Joshpreet - January 31, 2012
ugh
so bad
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
I guess there's quite a few Kings fans in the crowd
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Way to watch that sequence Lee
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
Hey, he needs to save his energy for offense
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
OH BABY
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
good decision
Curry almost went for that
jpees - January 31, 2012
Monta 1 handed steal, Curry fast break, Dwright finish!
niiiice
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
very Nice
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Cousins is STRONG
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
He's got a lot of potential
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
Sac was smart to choose him over Westphal
jpees - January 31, 2012
Kings made the right decision. You don't give up on a talented big man.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
Also, Westphal was wrong to let locker room stuff get out
No matter how bad it is, you never reveal stuff that happens behind closed doors
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
exactly. Who in that org lets PW release his own statement? #lolfail.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
Nice patience on the fastbreak
cybermaldonado - January 31, 2012
lol what!?
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
just like MJ drew it up
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
wow nice shot for DW
jpees - January 31, 2012
DWright 3 after a failed drive
exactly how it’s drawn in the playbook
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
You mean like every drive he makes? :)
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
haha
has DWright EVER had a successful drive and finish or drive and pass???
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
That was a no no no, yes from Wright.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
Monta is disgusting
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
Im sure Smart
knows Monta in and out
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Hmm, didn't know they were sexting buddies.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
maybe he snuck into the locker room and stole monta's phone while he was playing?
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
hey we get a kickball call!!!!
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
Dwright just throw it in
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
kick ball saved Monta's ugly drive/turnover
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
He's got that Stephen Jackson kind of mopping thing goin
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
you know what i mean.
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
think he makes it past the deadline still a warrior? I think it looks less and less likely with each loss.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
It seems like the last 3-4 games he just kinda stopped caring.
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
I think if we were to ever realistically turn it around here with Monta
he’d have to accept and embrace a little discipline and a sized down role. But I don’t think Monta’s ego would ever allow that here, so writings on the wall. Well, could be.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
I just hope he doesn’t implode before we get a trade done, or come out asking for one killing his value
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
Or the Stephen Jackson Art of Communication.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
more biedrins please
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
Ref finally call
a kick ball
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
movin on up.. to the sky..
PIRATEWARRIOR - January 31, 2012
isn't it about time for keith smart to put in acie law?
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
how about
Radman
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
He's got Francisco Garcia now
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
of course, the refs fall for the Cousins flop
Lee is not THAT strong
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Fllllllop
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
is JB sick?
I didn’t see the pregame
jpees - January 31, 2012
yeah, he sounds sick
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Jimmer drive made us look bad
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Lee nice reverse!
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
david lee == dr. j
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
why is fitz always so stunned when the other team is shooting better than their season average?
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
funny how other teams get lucky against the dubs
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
i must be a miracle
it just can’t be piss poor warrior defense
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
lol
PIRATEWARRIOR - January 31, 2012
LOL
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
a lot of
offensive foul call are horrible these day
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
I just love Lee at the point
passes like a point guard
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
but the problem with Lee at the point is no offensive rebs
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Too bad he can't play like a Power forward.
Zing!
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
haha
that’s why we need a power center!
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
To be fair
He’s been racking up a ton of minutes as our Center, especially since Kwame went down
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
yup, I love small ball ya'll! Great for the tank.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
Monta's got Jimmer on him!? Why doesn't he have 40 yet?
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
he needs a jumbaco
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
hahahaha
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
No one needs Jumbaco!
No one!
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012

wth is up with montas shot
dubzfan - January 31, 2012
too many passes
jpees - January 31, 2012
That's a bad decision by Reke'. He's got to shoot that.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
GREAT close out by monta
kyzah - January 31, 2012
need to go back to andris in the post
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
Man i missed a Biedrens made free throw
guess i’m going to have to wait another year and a half for the next one
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
Smart
look like he wanna cry
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
sounds like ill feelings to me
“bite your tongue”?
cybermaldonado - January 31, 2012
There's Biedrins #2
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Wow again?
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
To be fair, Cousins is the best Center in the league right?
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
Monta looks off and rusty
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
whats new?
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
he hasnt been hitting shot at all lately
dubzfan - January 31, 2012
i know, i wonder what's wrong
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
I think his knee is still bothering him?
He injured it earlier this year iirc?
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
apparently smart still doesn’t realize he had idiotic rotations
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
Whoa, Cousins despite the help defender Curry coming in
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
call the cops
i just saw david lee get abused in the post
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
Their phones must be ringing every minute
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
The Dream Shake? Really?
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
So, just got the feed up and running
Did Barnett catch a cold?
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
sounds like it
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Lee driving
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Cousins-Hakeem. Lee-Robinson
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
why do we stop posting up beans after it was working well?
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
try to get cousins' #2
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
I really really miss Beans' ability to rebound
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
Does that correlate with how our bigs turn to wet toilet paper when going against any kind of massive big man?
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
jim's voice keeps making me want to clear my throat
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
Curry, what was that?
too late for a 2 for 1
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Bah Curry
Late on the 2 for 1
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
Damn, How many rebounds cousins have? Feels like he's huuungry out there.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
he is a big boy, one of the heaviest guys in the league
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
thompson has more boards than cousins
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
Yeah he's boarding pretty well too.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
4 for cuz, 6 for JT
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
curry has 6 assists ??????
dubzfan - January 31, 2012
he's having a pretty good floor game
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
even still, 6? Only one I remember was the fast break to DWright
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
that's home cooking for you
Ask Van Exel about his 29 assist game some time
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
link
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
link
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
happens when your post players make paint shots
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
8 assists between Curry and Ellis on 11 made shots.
sexymotherfakir - January 31, 2012
play by play
10:52 1-2 Andris Biedrins makes 3-foot two point shot (Stephen Curry assists)
9:03 5-4 Andris Biedrins makes two point shot (Stephen Curry assists)

3:56 18-18 Monta Ellis makes 20-foot jumper (Stephen Curry assists)
1:24 23-22 David Lee makes 1-foot two point shot (Stephen Curry assists)
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Good thing
Marcus Thorton is not playing on this game. He is a certified Warriors killer
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
good thing Vlad Rad isnt here: Certified Kings Killer
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
Lee can play D on jump shooters that are shorter than him!
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
technically he fell for the pump fake lol
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
You'd think he would be used to it playing with Dorell
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
Well
He was smart enough to know he just needed to go straight up? lol
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
"They owe that team something"
Yeah a 1st round pick Fitz
duballers23 - January 31, 2012
Nah, that's impossible
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
Nate with a T...
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
wow, is javie working this game?
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
"He is quick to anger."-that sounded like a Star Wars quote
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
Battle of the Midgets
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Udoh was a tad late rolling to the hoop
but at least he hit the shot
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
I don't think Udoh is very good as the roller in the PnR.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
Lol let the Kings shoot it and the Warriors win. They let the Kings get 2nd and 3rd chances in the lane and it could get dicey.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
time for the chuck hayes experience
triple team him!
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
Klay great defense there
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Damn it Nate
What you doing?
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
Nate's being gross, I want Jenkins!
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
where's the walk?
ayeyoJERM - January 31, 2012 via iPhone app
Jeremy Tyler will lead the way!
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
John Salmons sucks
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
Idiot.
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
how can you stutter step multiple times on one dribble and not get called for a travel?
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
great tackle by brandon rush!
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
Wow Brandon Rush bailed Hickson out
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
How did PW have Hickson starting over JT? I don't remember was JT hurt in the beginning of the year?
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
no he started hayes and cousins together
and brought them off the bench and chose Hickson over thompson to fill in for Hayes. both are highly inconsistent though
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
Oh yea, that sounds right. All I know is that I was seeing Hickson do a whole lot of nothing on the court and not much JT.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
That Tyreke drive and pass reminded me of Monta
I’ve read that they’re similar in that they’re both scorers first trying to develop play making skills
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Glad to see Tyler playing
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
3 in the key -_______-
ayeyoJERM - January 31, 2012 via iPhone app
oh my goodness
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
Oof, Tyreke sucking in too much of our defense that time
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Bricking everything. Even Klay and Rush
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
yeah, give them time to get the 3 day rust off
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Bench unit being scrubby right now
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
Uh oh, Tyreke is down
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
not good
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Did Tyreke strain his hamstring?
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
thats what it look like when he went to plant he pulled it
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
down goes tyreke
ayeyoJERM - January 31, 2012 via iPhone app
Cramp
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
If Tyreke goes down we have a chance
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
he better stay in then
keep the tank on track
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
Cramp.
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
i guess it must have been a cramp for Tyreke
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
can't buy a bucket
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
klay BEASTING
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
LOL
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
Tyler nice rebound
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Nate finally scoring for the bench
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
I don't mind that defensive set but that's where lack of elite length hurts.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
Warriors defense didn't communicate, left a man open
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Udoh with the finish
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
haha
thanks for not catching the ball, Garcia
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
i like how he didn’t even seem to care
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
This game is horrid.
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
Garcia is his team's own tank sergeant.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
Wow the Kings suck
Battle of who is less worse
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
ugh, that's a dumb idea fitz
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
Klay hitting it from around the screen
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Why can't we have cutters like that?
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Evans is great at slashing
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
Rush Hour 3 will NEVER miss another 3!
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
it's automatic
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
I wouldn't put Ekpe on the block unless he had a physical advantage over his opponent.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
lol that was horrific.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
horrendous
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
Udoh is getting absolutely dominated...by Hickson?
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
Udoh is getting schooled when tries to make an offensive move
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Hickson is not a good player
Yet he blocks Ekpe
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
Why he is not a good player?
farid - January 31, 2012
Takes too many jump shots, doesn't post up
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
Smart
pulling a Monta on Tyreke playing him a lot of minutes
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
I've only seen a couple Kings games
But I think he really is
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
why are we so scared to run post ups for beans, yet we constantly yet udoh get schooled
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
seriously
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
Why are we posting up Udoh
Do we want to win… on second thought let’s keep posting him up
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
…I bet Monroe could take JJ Hickson.
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
lol
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
There it is
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
chris rene! i don't miss jessica alba AT ALL
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
i don't know who that guy is
but holy crap he looks like an extreme douche
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
yup
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
lol
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
lol Jim B
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
which offense do you think looks better?
Warriors? Kings? Neither?
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
there's offense in this game?
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
How can they get to the line more when they're whole philosophy is to take outside jumpers?
Things that make you go hmmm….
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
their**
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
Monta can post up more
sexymotherfakir - January 31, 2012
It would be awesome to have a true low post prescence like Monroe
From what I hear he has a face up game now… SMH
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
Lee nice box out on that rebound
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Durrrrrell.
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
What in blazing hell was that Durrel?
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
Hello, DWright, you're not a passer
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
HORRIBAD
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
WTF was that pass
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
Maybe he really should just go work at Ubisoft. (anyone?)
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
Cmon Dorell
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Jim Barnett is not taking any BS tonight
He trashed Dorell for passing instead of shooting
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
He's hammered on Dayquil!
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
it is true
he could be Durant on that sequence shoot over a small defender
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Dorell with a case of Montardness.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
biedrins post play please
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
Beans first rebound in 3 games!
At least that’s what it feels like
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
Everything Jim sounds deadpan hilarious
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
Jim says
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
There you DWright! Shoot it!
Nice passing from Curry to Lee to Monta to DWright
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
CURRY SHOOT THE FUCKING BALL FUCK
stayedupto - January 31, 2012
we wont win with curry taking 3 shots a half
stayedupto - January 31, 2012
Oooof, Kings can run plays better than we can
They had a driver and then a baseline cutter that time.
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
We are a defensive mindset team
not!
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
this game is so bad
it’s hazardous to your health
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
No toughness inside with this lineup. And not just tonight. The last two years have been especially soft.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
This is a team that gave up 92 points in the paint to Denver.....
And we can get nothing
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
well when you stop going to what was working…
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
not even looking for andris anymore
“Well, Dre, you got your 5 so stop complaining about touches”
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
i bet we post him up 3 more times to start the 3rd. such a stupid pattern
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
Give the ball to Lee more?
sexymotherfakir - January 31, 2012
curry needs to shott the ball stop deffering to monta
stayedupto - January 31, 2012
Kings with a fugly turnover
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
we're losing to this!??!!?
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
Tank
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
Kobe, er, Monta drawing FTs
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
+1
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Dumb reach by Reke, he had Monta with nowhere to go
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
That's some double fugly bball
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
WE'RE LOSING TO THIS?!!?!?
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
lolololol
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
Wow this is ugly
Both teams are aiming for that high pick
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
Kings are doing their best Jekyl & Hyde performance.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
look at biedrins roll HARD to the hoop that time
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
pump fake fu
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
omg this game...
…hurts my eyes
kildare - January 31, 2012
What the hell Monta
you are better than that
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
shoot that steph
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
Why would you take that Monta!?
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
really curry? you’re going to pass up a jumper to give monta one?
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
Garcia fell for the
pump fake
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
wtf was that monta!?
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
dear god
EW0804 - January 31, 2012
barnett just wants this game to end and have a cup of hot tea
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
so do i at this point. this is pathetic
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
oh look, ah monta end of quarter iso. those always work well
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
This is ugly ugly ugly
I don’t know why the Warriors think they are a playoff team
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
And two like 30 foot 3 point attempts
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
I'm pretty sure the higher ups don't believe that still.
Lacob for example sounds far less overtly optimistic about his guys.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
Well, I shouldn't say pretty sure, I've been pretty sure before and the Warriors still throw a curveball or two somewhere.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
WHY ISNT STEPH SHOOTING THE BALL
stayedupto - January 31, 2012
Curry need his assist
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Think Curry is confuesd by Keith Smart's presence
He’s waiting to get yanked from the game
sexymotherfakir - January 31, 2012
ugly ugly ugly fugly
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
this half should be classified as a crime against humanity
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
this is not as exciting as the past kings-warriors games
ugh
J2daZ - January 31, 2012
Uh both teams have sucked for a while
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
Think he was talking about
How in the past games would be like 140-136
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
Okay that makes sense
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
yeah exactly two octane offenses.
not so much anymore
J2daZ - January 31, 2012
Was it Kings offense that good or Warriors defense just that bad?
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
Well
It sure felt like Kevin Martin would get 40 FTA every time he played us lol
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
All the Warriors fans in attendance are being treated to one hell of a game
Key word being “hell”
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
isaiah thomas == acie law
anyone see jimmer?
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
Right behind you
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
I’m not sure how, but this game is making my hair hurt.
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
someone get the team some halftime jumbacos
Killjoy - January 31, 2012
I love you guys
your snarkiness is awesome
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
I hope Mark Jackson starts his press conference by saying
“This is a playoff team”
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
i DARE him to start it that way
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
lol
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
"I want winners!"
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
my personal fav, "We'll check the tape"
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
so why has monta lost all semblance of scoring ability?
dubzfan - January 31, 2012
scoring?
we are a defensive mindset team
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
he knows he's being traded
seriously, no idea.
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
via twitter guy
Teams have the playbook on Ellis – take away his right hand for penetration and he settles for jumpers (or turnovers).
dubzfan - January 31, 2012
He knee is bothering him
Not as explosive
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
mentally checkout out??
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
naw, thats never been an issue, hes still trying
just looks really frustrated
dubzfan - January 31, 2012
please, Monta has checked out defensively for years.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
never mentioned defense
im talking about his scoring
dubzfan - January 31, 2012
lol, well yea but honestly I didn't notice a difference.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
on that telestrator, I still love Lee's passing and vision from the point spot
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Speaking of this
I am reminded of stories about how Nellie used to have a point forward, which allowed him to run 2 shooting guards on the floor. Wonder if MJ will do this with Lee at the point, and Monta and Curry as scorers
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
I hope this game is over before Kay & Peele comes on
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
twitter convo/ i agree
Curry needs to assert himself. He’s up against a defensively weak rookie and doing nothing with it so far.
the reply from a diff guy
He’s checked out, mentally
dubzfan - January 31, 2012
Jimmers on Monta
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
they must not be watching the game because reke is on steph
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
still defensively weak
dubzfan - January 31, 2012
Yeah, Curry is AFK right now. Maybe he's still got the yips from his weak ankle.
Still disappointing game from him so far.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
AFK?
dubzfan - January 31, 2012
ankle feared k...?
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
gaming term I've used before away from keyboard.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
it's basically the gaming term for someone who is MIA
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
Curry went from 15+ shots the last few games...
…tonight he might not even shoot 10.
sexymotherfakir - January 31, 2012
Hmm, no Biedrins post up to start the 3rd
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
jackson’s not smart (keith that is)
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
i know, but it worked to start the game
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
i know but smart would always run beans at the beginning of the 1st and 3rd
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
yeah, i know
that was supposed to be about building Biedrins confidence
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Charmin soft.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
MJ needs to try going small, use speed to beat muscle
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
wtf is going on
steph looks like he is done with this team monta sucking bad
stayedupto - January 31, 2012
trade everyone
TANK TANK TANK
stayedupto - January 31, 2012
Mark Jackson's slowness
shows through the cracks of this offense.
farid - January 31, 2012
Currys' body language
not good
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
+1
dubzfan - January 31, 2012
It looks like Curry wants to run
But Jackson telling them to set it up.
farid - January 31, 2012
this game makes me wish the 49ers won :(
ayeyoJERM - January 31, 2012 via iPhone app
There's a Biedrins post up
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
A Biedrins post up guys!!!
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
All Biedrins does is jump hook
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
Of course, Biedrins gets called for a foul when Cousins just fell down
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
lol @ fitz saying good box out by beans and complaining about the foul
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
Beans must be crazy strong in that one arm, ragdoll'd Cus
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
Where is Earl Barron
anyways
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Biedrins nice block of Cousins, and not fouling
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
This game makes me want to watch soccer
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
I like watching soccer
Live though, can’t watch it on television
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
I want to go to a crazy English-hooligan soccer game
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
looks like jackson is finally learning that if you're not going to play beans in the 4th quarter
you don’t have to pull him for foul trouble
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
Monta kicking to DWright 3
there’s a play that worked
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
so far
Monta kicking to Dwright always work
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Curry finally hitting a j
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
How do we not get back on a made basket
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
Tyreke ran into Biedrins, turnover, heh
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Aww Monta
Just take the shot
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
I wouldn't call Biedrins a brick wall
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Rubber traffic cone?
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
hahahaha
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Has David Lee gone inside once this game?
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
Do you mean a post move?
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Just on a non-jumpshot type shot.
Well he just dunked so there’s one.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
Ok this is the opposite
of 3rd quarter collapse
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
i would think the opposite of a 3rd quarter collapse would be dominating the 3rd quarter
not just gaining 1 point
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
well better than losing
a big lead after the 1st half
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Kings are a carp team
yet they are up
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
what does that tell you about us?
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
we always play down to the opponents, but this is rediculous
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
when curry gets things going
you can tell the team plays better
stayedupto - January 31, 2012
Curry needs to play more like the Portland game
sexymotherfakir - January 31, 2012
Somethings up with Curry
body language
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
stop passing it to monta everytime
stayedupto - January 31, 2012
Wow.
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
Wow, Monta passed up a WIIIDE open 3
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Then he took a contested shot with Curry open on the wing
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
duurel
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
Lee should have shot that
he had a Biedrins screen
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Huzzah! a fast break jam!
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
hahaha Monta, just awful
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
Finally a fastbreak
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
i don't know what to say about that sequence
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Curry pass a lot of shot
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Haha Jim
duballers23 - January 31, 2012
At least the Warriors are running
Biedrins BAD foul, #5
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
At least he's out there to make foul #5. AMIRITE?!
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
haha, that's true
that’s to Biedrins credit
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
he did stop the layup
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
Biedrins is a 100% FT shooter
for tonight
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Cousins has a midrange shot???
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
He's going to be a monster
duballers23 - January 31, 2012
I think Kings fans would love it if he was less liberal with that shot.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
looked like it had no arc
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
is it just me or when Barnett has a cold he's the ultimate pessimist?
dubzfan - January 31, 2012
hard not to be a pessimist when you're losing to sacramento at home
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
he’s bee pretty optimistic about beans
cybermaldonado - January 31, 2012
man warriors playing pathetic
why aren’t we attacking…so passive
LostHawkGSW - January 31, 2012
Kings are way more physical team.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
somehow, we're only down 5
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Cause it's the Kings
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
Maybe some of the times we should pull Ellis before we pull Curry
sexymotherfakir - January 31, 2012
Udoh nice contest of Salmons shot there
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
kings missed the guy underneath the basket on that inbounds play
whew
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
is this a emotional game for
Monta and Curry seeing Smart on the other side of the bench
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Curry is afraid that Smart is going pull him at any moment
sexymotherfakir - January 31, 2012
Nice pass from Udoh to Monta under the hoop
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
horrible camera angle
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
Nate the Microwave off the bench
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
big 3
by nate
LostHawkGSW - January 31, 2012
tie game wut?
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
ouchy
dubzfan - January 31, 2012
Yes but he can score at will!
buky - January 31, 2012
Wow, that was a monster HIckson rebound
why can’t we do that?
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
because our PF is Lee
not athletic..
LostHawkGSW - January 31, 2012
lee is actually pretty athletic
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
he's quick
not a power jumper though
LostHawkGSW - January 31, 2012
Nate the great
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
If we're going be bad..
..can we at least be exciting?
sexymotherfakir - January 31, 2012
The bench was pretty excited compared to watching the starting 5.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
Nate around the Udoh screen, another jumper!
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
he's heatin up
LostHawkGSW - January 31, 2012
2nd chance point
is a B!*+(h cmon rebound guys
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Ugh, foul like a man
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
that was a great pass by Isiah
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
Monroe wouldnt have done that.
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
ya cuz he doesnt defend
LostHawkGSW - January 31, 2012
...fine....
Then it would have just been a bucket and not an and 1 opportunity.
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
Monroe will rip Chuck Hayes
shoulder on that foul
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Play Jenkins
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
cmon rebound
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Run a play for Klay maybe?
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
Nevermind.
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
ask and ye recieve
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
Your wish was granted
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
You know,
we’ve had some ugly losses with Keith Smart last season, but did you ever feel THIS annoyed at the Warriors last season?
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
i think ive become numb to the pain of being a warriors fan
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
I dont really remember
But I cringe whenever I see Acie Law and Radman on the floor. Monta play almost every minute every night
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
No
If you look at our pace, it’s above league average, but nowhere where we used to be. We’re more annoyed because we don’t see fastbreak basketball anymore
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
how can our pace be above the league avg?
Must be the bench pace
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
The weird thing is
Our offense and defense are about the same, compared to the league
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
that's a headscratcher
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Basically
there has been no improvement (especially defensively, which was SUPPOSED to be what the coaches focused on), but we’re playing much slower. That means we’re not as exciting but just as bad.
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
i can believe this
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
But look we only have 5 TO
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
smart was annoying because although the players played hard he had the wrong players on the floor. this is annoying cuz no one is playing hard
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
Hayes is 6'4
Chuck Wagon FTW!
farid - January 31, 2012
Yep, Udoh couldn't finish that pick and roll
but at least he executed it correctly
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Makes me so nervous when Dom brings the ball up
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
So much passing for naught boo
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
Stop the presses, Rush missed a 3
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
OMG fast break FAAAAAILURE
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
the rest of the kings had already given up on the play too
thomas was the only one trying
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
yeah, exactly
i want us to lose this game, because we don’t deserve a win
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
LOL
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
lol Klay
lol Dom
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
WOW WTF
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
Udoh defending the rim!
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
UDOH!!
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
Udoh coming alive now
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
Bad sequence
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Klay: that was horribad
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
You'd think Klay would want to play well to show up the Kings?
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
Look at Keith
afraid of the Warriors bench
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Udoh NICE offensive rebound tap out
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
lol now why wasn't that a back court violation?
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
Warriors didnt have control, just knocked back out
Though some refs have called it lol
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
Yeah, but if Ekpe is the only one who touched it, I dunno. It's just a curious situation that could be called I guess.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
maybe it was stlil a "loose ball" after Udoh's tap out
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Like I said
Loose ball, and knocking it out isn;t suppose to establish control.
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
RUSH!!
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
Ru33333333h!
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
Rush hour 3!
He ran without the ball to the corner and Nate found him. Good play
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Had literally no idea we were winning.
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
Look at our bench
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
DEFENSE!!!?!?!
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
Time to pull a Spurs
and just leave the bench in for the rest of the game.
sexymotherfakir - January 31, 2012
Good D
ayeyoJERM - January 31, 2012 via iPhone app
Sigh, the zone again
The zone is just a symbol of how we suck on defense
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
Our Bench is better than Kings starter
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
i wish they sold those RUN TMC bobble heads at the online store
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
We need starters back in. Monta can lead the tank.
buky - January 31, 2012
That pic of Reke
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
One thing I hated about Smart
he never trust his bench. Maybe a couple of guys but not the whole bench. He got that from Nellie
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
horrible pass nate
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
Why are we posting up Udoh
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
square peg, round hole situation.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
every single game…
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
another 24 sec violation!
take advantage!
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Kings are just a bad team
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
Udoh drawing the charge!
He’s making an impact here in the 4th
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Udoh doing a much better job on Cousins.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
Wow
King collapsing hard, too bad the Warriors arent good enough to really take advantage of it
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
if the roles were reversed, how much would fitz be going crazy on udoh drawing a charge rather than trying to block the shot?
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
Wow, how did Dominic finish that?
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
NICE McGuire!!
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
Finally offensive foul
Tyreke is damn tired Smart fault
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
nice macguire
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
haha, a shoe loose in the lane
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
wow nate
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
Kings are just awful
They do not know how to run offense
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
and we're only up 8 smh
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
both teams have a lot of flaws yes
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
like not being able to make layups on the break
klay and steph I’m looking at you
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
From WHAT FFFFFFFF WOO NATE
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
Nate crazy shot falling down!
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
wtf nate that was awesome
dubzfan - January 31, 2012
all nate really had to do was cut and isaiah wouldn't have been able to even be near him
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
surprised cousins only has 4 turnovers, thats like a season low for him
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
he averages less than 3...
not really that funny
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
raw stats dont tell the whole story
his usage rate and ts% would suggest otherwise. he may not commit official turnovers but the gist is he is reckless with the ball
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
Nate sick shot
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
we might beat a bad team woooo
stayedupto - January 31, 2012
For once!
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
Nate should pull a cross over
on Isiah without the shoes

Our Bench
Lol how good is our bench. They brought us up down 2 to now up 6
richstyle - January 31, 2012
our bench isn’t very good, the kings are just really bad
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
usually when we rely on the bench
good things happen. Look at other games man
richstyle - January 31, 2012
Somehow we tipped it in!
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
UDOH!!
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
Udoh another block!
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
I do love when Udoh gets pumped
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
UDOH AGAIN
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
Udoh + energy = :)
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
BLOCK PARTY
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
oh look, Lacob is here to watch his playoff team.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
hopefully watching the bench in the 4th will make him want to trade the starters for draft picks….. please?
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
Yea I was thinking this is good evidence that your starters are not getting it done.
The bench has carried this team tonight.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
udoh
tolliver - January 31, 2012
BOOM!!!
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
Rush does not miss!!!!!
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
Dominic rebound, Rush hour 3!
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
and that was helped by a Udoh box out
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Ekpes going honey baked ham!
mekanikal - January 31, 2012 via mobile
Lacob is pump up
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Let the Bench close this out
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
I'd say MJ stays with this unit until they fail or get tired
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
kings dont have the guard depth to come back
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
The reserves SHOULD finish it tonight. The starters were borrible.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
Aw what, travel
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
Stupid refs
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
How do you miss that call?
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
In real time, I thought Udoh actually blocked that
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Time to attack the rim and get that free call the refs owe us
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
refs are always against us
richstyle - January 31, 2012
yup even against the Kings
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
sillyness
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
a lot of miss call at Oracle
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Darn it
Rush foot on line
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
Rush hour 2
i saw his foot on the line
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
RUSH !!!
arghh long 2
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
RUSH
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
Rush hour rainbow 3!
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
HOOOOLY SHIIIIIT RUSH!!!!!!!!!
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
Hey guys
how are you doing against the Kings so far?
yoshifan - January 31, 2012
winningggggggggg
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
UNCONSCIOUS
keep feeding him
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
RUSH ON FIRE
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
At least the starters are all on their feet, rather than whining
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
why would they whine?
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
I guess 'mope' would be a better word.
And because they’re the “starters” and have all been benched
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
cant think of any examples of that in history ever in the NBA
where the bench comes on and plays well and the starters “mope”
maybe an individual once in a while, but even that is rare
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
I'm sorry, keep trying, i'm sure you'll get better at thinking.
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
tried to let this go but,
Seriously, you’ve never heard of NBA starters being angry they were benched/not playing? Are you sure you’re thinking of real life and not a video game?
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
Well, that probably does it. There goes the tank. :/
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
RUSH AND UDOHHHHHHHHHHH
stayedupto - January 31, 2012
Maguire too rebound machine
richstyle - January 31, 2012
LOL Lee tryin to do a body bump
richstyle - January 31, 2012
There is some real chemistry with the bench
moving without the ball, players knowing where to find others
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
they also play defense, which helps
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
exactly
Coach need to play them more than our starter
and they defend better
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Rush again
look at Klay post up and assist
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
start the reservs lmao
stayedupto - January 31, 2012
Man I was saying that
since the Memphis game
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
excellent for the tank
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
lol
richstyle - January 31, 2012
Not sure how happy I am with this win
Warriors still need that pick, they are not a good team, they need to tank
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
Sadly, I feel the same way
duballers23 - January 31, 2012
i think it's about time to accept that the warriors are not good enough to make the playoffs, but too good to get a top 7 pick without some major lottery help
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
so root for winsssssssssss
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
we’ve always known that haven’t we?
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
yes but there was always hope for the tank
it’s pretty clear they have no intentions of tanking though.
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
tanking's a pipe dream
it won’t happen with this current roster, it’ll have to come in the form of a trade
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
or some major injuries
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
Well, they will keep our hopes up
until that winning streak when it doesn’t matter
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
BRush is too wet!
mekanikal - January 31, 2012 via mobile
if Riley and his staff can build such a bench
maybe he can build a starting team just as good some day
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
unfortunately building a good starting 5 requires spending and good drafting
one or two bad contracts on the payroll and then its strictly drafting which can be a crapshoot most times anyway
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
Unfortunately finding subs are easy. Every GM in the league is looking for viable starters.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
bench unit needs to close this game
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
spoke too soon lol
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
go back to Rush
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
mama,here goes that rush again!
AmaruEternal1989 - January 31, 2012
I think the Kings scout and coaches concentrate on our starter
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
nate airball
here comes a collapse
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012

Uh oh, only up 6
But the Warriors did play defense though
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
TIMEOUT
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
they tired TIMEOUT
richstyle - January 31, 2012
c'mon bench dont go out like the spurs did Sunday
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
Idiot. What are you doing Udoh!?
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
Udoh, did a lot of good things, until he fouled Cousins with the shotclock going down
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Udoh gone
Please no small ball. Beans time
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
Damn it
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
I don't understand
123707THIZZ - January 31, 2012
DLee-McGuire front court
Still no Beans
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
sigh, they cant hack him anymore MJ its the final two minutes
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
here comes lee!!!!
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
I'm not sure this Kings team could beat some college teams
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
without Thornton they'd go to the wire with the best college team right now
but they’d still crush everyone else outside the top 5
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
I dunno, the disparity between even the best college team and an NBA team is rather large.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
oh no fully healthy they'd crush everyone
but if we count injuries they may sweat out a 10-15 point win against the 2-3 best teams, thats it
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
you're not serious...
all NBA teams >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> best college teams
anyone who’s ever believed otherwise should plead temporary insanity
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
exactly what I said
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
there are the rare occasions when college teams are stacked with NBA talent
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
NBA experience does count you know
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Tyreke and Cousins were great college players. No College team would stand a chance no matter how loaded they were.
Pippen - January 31, 2012
Exactly
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
if lebron had gone to college
i would guess that his team could have given a bad nba team plenty of trouble.
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
same with dwight
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
or if Lee was two years younger
and played with Noah, Horford, Brewer, Speights, etc for more than one year
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
like if he went to Ohio State
and by his junior year was playing with Oden, Conely, and Cook
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
still no
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
I'd be surprised.
Not with good players only staying for a year or two. Every player on the Kings was a star in college. Jimmer was one of the best i the nation and look how much trouble he is having in the pros.
Pippen - January 31, 2012
any time you have the best player on the court, you have a chance
and the best player on the court is not always a player on the nba team
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
a chance...
is not having the better chance
at any given time, anyone has a chance against anyone
but NBA teams should always be heavy favorites over college teams
top to bottom, the talent just doesn’t compare, and what a lot of college players are coached to do (even on teams with well-respected coaches), just doesn’t work if they’re going up against an NBA teams
zone, and long 3s and runners will not win you a game in the nba in most cases, even when the talent is even. i can’t imagine the chances when it’s not.
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
no
just no…
that goes for every player that’s ever played.
could they win ONE game if they were matched up? yeah, it’s possible, and the small chance is of course greater with superstars like LeBron or Dwight. but they’d have to play an amazing game AND get good play from everyone around them, as well as see a down game from the NBA team in general.
there chances remain rather insignificant
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
and all nba teams are stacked with nba talent
and it goes deeper than the top 3 or top 5…
which college teams right now have a player better than the best player on any NBA team?
which are better at the best 2 positions?
best at top 3?
I’d start out with 0, and it’d continue down the line as the disparity only got bigger and bigger
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
Especially if they play NBA rules
Longer 3pt range, longer shot clock
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
Oops,
Shorter shot clock
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
They are still NBA players
so I am sure they can beat any top team in College
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Yeah I guess
I’m just shocked at how awfully they run their offense
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
lack of discipline and maturity
playing college teams though they’d get away with it. not against other pro teams
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
well, to be fair
they had a coaching change recently, and i read it’s like a “floating training camp” right now
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
can i get a Rush heat check
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
Beans needs to bring back his spiky hair
richstyle - January 31, 2012
only way for him to get his double doubles back
richstyle - January 31, 2012
+1 spike
farid - January 31, 2012
Kings obviously need an actual coach
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
i realize that the bench is playing well
but can’t we put someone in for klay? steph would surely be better, no?
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
must be sending a message
Klay playing with energy, gets to stay in
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Klay would be awesome if he could create his own shot.
callahan - January 31, 2012
hopefully in due time
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
He set up Rush for 2 of his 3’s
Pippen - January 31, 2012
Klay doing some drive and kicks too. About the only guy on team except Rush doing that and Rush always turns it over when he does.
cybermaldonado - January 31, 2012
I suppose MJ trying to keep Curry and Monta accountable
For their pretty bad games
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
good
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
I would say he should do the same for Lee
but we have only Biedrins after Udoh fouled out, and he needs to be held accountable too
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
Nah
Dlee played well enough.
Curry and Monta were just awful.
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
he, individually got beat up on the boards
and inside defensively
he did not play any better overall than Steph or Monta
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
I think the bench is just being rewarded for their good play.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
I don't think MJ has any axe's to grind just yet.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
Tyreke is damn tired
Smart fault
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
David Lee comes in and...
gives up an O board and fouls Cousins…
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
thats what happens when we go small ball
bigkino217 - January 31, 2012
well yea
but he was heads up with him and couldn’t keep him off the boards. mister “I don’t have a good game if I don’t get double-digit boards…”
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
Ekpe prob would do the same thats why he fouled out
richstyle - January 31, 2012
Kings just waited to late to go on this run.
Barring any horrific late second collapse.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
Why is Curry and Ellis out?
farid - January 31, 2012
coz he suck at free throw
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
I spoke too soon
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
78 sucks?
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
because they've played like crap and the reserves played with passion and brains
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
For FTs
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
I want Currys auto FTs back
richstyle - January 31, 2012
Stuuuuuuupid Fitz
Jinx
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
Whew, Curry makes a second FT
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
effin curry
J2daZ - January 31, 2012
Jim is raking Fitz over the coals for jinxing Steph
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
This will be a stab in the heart
if Keith Smart pulls out a Radman-like final play to tie the game, and then win in OT
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
curry splitting free throws
not focused
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
Sometimes you just miss it
I think Steph was very focused.
farid - January 31, 2012
One of the problems with the Kings
is that they have no outside shooter. All they can do is drive
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
this game is a damn heart attack.....
yimoney - January 31, 2012
More like a meat grinder
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
He's been very good? Oh fitz that's the kiss of death
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
Fitz didn’t learn his lesson
cybermaldonado - January 31, 2012
The curse passed us by this time.
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
isnt every warriors game?
richstyle - January 31, 2012
reply button
dubzfan - January 31, 2012
WHEW, Nate hits both
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
that was a close one
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Nate start over Monta = wins
richstyle - January 31, 2012
so then curry gets to guard sgs all day
granted it isn’t a good thing to have monta on them either, but nate is about 5’8" he can’t guard anything but the smallest player on the court
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
Kings have no three point shooter
Even if Nate missed it wouldn’t matter
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
don't they have Jimmer?
Isn’t he a 3 pt shooter?
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
jimmers garbage
richstyle - January 31, 2012
they also have keith smart, nullifying any potential advantage they may have
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
He's not as good as advertised
Good in college, but he hasn’t been shooting well
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
jinx
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
uhhhh....
tiny tim disagrees
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
If Rush stayed out on the three point line
He wouldn’t have made it
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
but he didnt
and hes already hit 2 others over defenders
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
Good day all, this game was interesting to say the least!
kenntoe - January 31, 2012
OH WTF
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
Brandon Rush should be starting.
farid - January 31, 2012
Omg, Tyreke drive and kick to an Isiah Thomas 3
up only 1
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
what is going on? if they tie this
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
the tank will continue!
AJC3317 - January 31, 2012
lol, miss the free throw, bring in the tank
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
Thomas hit 3 of 3
last 2 minutes
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
Kings no timeout left
Raiiny - January 31, 2012
hold on why dont we foul rather they let them shoot 3
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
*we let them shoot 3
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
way to make it exciting lol
J2daZ - January 31, 2012
lol id hate to be watching this game
richstyle - January 31, 2012
at oracle
richstyle - January 31, 2012
Oooooof, scary 1st FT made
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
Rush clutch 2 FTs
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
1 more rush
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
whew, we ESCAPE with that win
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
RUSH FTW
richstyle - January 31, 2012
Warriors win!
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
Woo!
Barely beat the Kings at home!
Badly Browned - January 31, 2012
Kings were hungry
richstyle - January 31, 2012
beat the kings >:]
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
Kings suck
Smart suck
I rather have MJ as a coach
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
This is what great teams do
Win against bad teams without their “A” game
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
they also beat other great teams as well especially on the road
and have Point Differentials in their favor by a decent margin
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
cant believe Isaiah Thomas is their most consistent bench player so far
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - January 31, 2012
he is better than Jimmer Fardette
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
to be fair, he has been very inconsistent
he does bring more energy to the game than most of their players, though. kind of the way nate does
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
Tremendous game
Start Rush next game.
farid - January 31, 2012
No I rather let him
spark the bench ala 6th man
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
21 Kings turnovers yikes
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
A lot of those were dumb turnovers too
doubleteapot - January 31, 2012
i still DARE MJ to call this a playoff team
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
but good thing Smart is not our coach
anymore. Or else Monta will fall the same fate with Tyreke run out of gas at the end
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
I wonder...
do you think calling it a playoff team would help the team rise to the expectations he sets, or put more pressure on them and lead to an ever greater failure?
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
i thought about that
i think it depends on the type of players you have and also how well they’re already playing together.
I think for this team, since they’re not playing well together yet, the pressure of making the playoffs just adds to the friction and makes it all that much harder to figure each other out.
If this team already has their players figured out, plays, rotations, etc, then setting high expectations gives them something to strive for.
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
agreed.
I think we need a set rotation, and monta and steph going at the same time, before he begins to expect more from them.
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
yeah
and in order to have a set rotation, they need to figure out how to play together under MJ’s offense, whatever that is.
Btw, it’s not just MJ who’s expecting the playoffs. It was also Lacob.
IQofaWarrior - January 31, 2012
lol
did anyone see that guy snatch rush’s towel?
bojangles408 - January 31, 2012
Wish I hadn't watched that game. Neither team played good. The Kings just suck.
dont_stop_believin' - January 31, 2012
DUBstitues?!?!? boo
DUBSTEPPERS!!!!
QualityOverQuantity - January 31, 2012
We won
mykelala01 - January 31, 2012
The Warriors will be a playoff team in another 17 years
callahan - January 31, 2012
lesson here is..
Bottom is that our reserves are better than our starterss – play more defense, better size, better rebounding, less selfish – it shows up pretty much every game – the eye test, in the box scores, in the +/-, advanced statistics like win shares.
TontheDon - January 31, 2012
and when they are in for extended minutes and wearing out the other teams starting unit our starters are resting.. i like it
PIRATEWARRIOR - January 31, 2012
Ouch MJ talking saying Udoh shouldn't start and hasn't been outstanding.
And calling Dre his best defender.
GSW_fan - January 31, 2012
smart move
andris needs enouragement
i think ekpe is responding well to being designated to the bench
Brownie13 - January 31, 2012
What’s with the dubstep. It’s like non stop
Rave in there now. Music was playing while we were shooting free throws? Guber is a moron.
richiek - January 31, 2012 via mobile
Uuuudddooohhhh
Im serious, I love him
And good win, if the kings can figure out how to turn it over less, they can be a scary team
Duby Dub Dubs - January 31, 2012 via mobile
Sac was just a few converted fast breaks away
from keeping the home team on its heels.
the.monk - January 31, 2012
and they are missing a key player right now
plus, it looks like they’ll end up with yet another pretty good pick
