Phoenix Suns (12-15) at Golden State Warriors (10-14)
TV: CSN Bay Area / Radio: KNBR 680
Blog Buddy: Bright Side of the Sun
Adding to Sleepy Freud's glass half-full/half-empty analysis after the Golden State Warriors' 106-97 win over the Houston Rockets last night, it's hard to avoid just how far they are from the playoffs.
In fact, for the pre-season cynics among us it's somewhat jarring: yes, the Warriors are only the 13th seed in the Western Conference, but they're also part of a pack of teams still in playoff contention and only 4 games out of the 5th seed as of today.
If you really want to look at the Warriors' glass as half full - or perhaps overflowing with optimism to make the metaphor more accurate - then tonight's game and the remainder of this string of Western Conference games over the next week are important for their so-called playoff chances.
But forgive me if I see things as half-empty and would prefer to look ahead toward a future of sustainable success. And that makes rookie Klay Thompson's recent success significant.
As San Francisco Chronicle reporter Bruce Jenkins described Saturday, Thompson is easily lost in a rookie class full of potential stars. And for those wondering what could've been with Linsanity in the Bay Area, it's easy to be left unsatisfied by but what Thompson is doing in the Warriors' backcourt right now.
However, that Thompson is the most efficient rookie scorer, as Sleepy Freud points out - and particularly strong as a spot-up shooter - is something for Warriors fans to embrace, even in a backcourt that is already full of scoring punch from its starters. And recently, Thompson has found his three point shooting touch in particular: over the last four games, he's shot 12-for-16 (75%) from beyond the arc.
If you've already tired of the up and down performances of this season and are wary of what the Warriors will do in a back-to-back situation, then keeping an eye on Thompson's continued development is worth paying attention to tonight. If Thompson keeps up this shooting pace (49.3% 3-point percentage), it would be the best rookie three point shooting performance since the line was moved back for the 1997-98 season. Even if he doesn't maintain the pace he's kept up over the past four games, he's likely to achieve something that others haven't.
What's been particularly impressive in his recent games is that he's been hitting shots against defenses that are relatively good at defending the three point line: Houston allows the third-lowest three point percentage in the league and the Sacramento Kings (who Thompson shot 4-for-4 from deep against) are 9th, albeit far worse as a defense overall. No matter what you thought about Thompson before, his shooting is looking less and less flukish.
Getting back to tonight's game specifically, the Suns are a relatively poor team at defending the three point line, which could be something that a more confident and efficient Thompson - as well as Dorell Wright, who has also found his touch since that first meeting - could be used to help exploit and get a more positive outcome than the Warriors got the first time around. Monta Ellis had 11 assists in typical fashion against the Suns the first time and with three point shooters to kick to and playing at home, Thompson's emergence could be significant in tonight's game.
None of that is even to mention David Lee, who was out sick in the first meeting with the Suns - Lee has been on a tear statistically lately as you can see from the boxscores but equally impressive for those that pay attention to plus/minus is that he's been a positive in 5 of the last 6 games in which the Warriors have won 4 of 6.
Ultimately, the last few games have given everyone something to cheer about, except maybe those who are rooting for a lottery pick: Thompson's performances lately are an encouraging sign for the future while those that would rather focus on the positives in the present can cheer on a team that seems to be finding some sort of rhythm.

not really, Lin was one of those black swan events that are a waste of time trying to plan for while Klank was a draft pick that was well studied and now that it’s working out is more satisfying.Teams that can find the Klanks of the NBA are gonna have more long term success than teams that try to hit the black swan lotto looking for Lins.
Skeptic con Urquell - February 13, 2012
doesn't matter how often you say it
it’s still not true that Lin is a black swan event. Predictable and predicted.
Rasputin10 - February 13, 2012
Predictable and predicted.
People predict unlikely things every day, that’s what keeps lottery tickets selling. The same kind of people probably predicted that Morrow was gonna have a better career than Ray Allen, Rocky was gonna be better than Kobe, and Reggie better than Paul Pierce.Even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut and these nuts eventually found a player. If zero teams in the NBA universe predicted Lin’s development then it’s non predictable in practical terms.
It’s a great story who’s 15 minutes is about up though. If he’s for real then the day to day ho-hum work begins and if he’s not too bad but the world goes on.
Skeptic con Urquell - February 13, 2012
Well said...
… but I think both can be true. You can still scout players well and also take risks when necessary. But if the risks don’t pan out, you can look foolish.
JonDoe - February 13, 2012
Lin is not a black swan event.
Reading some of the comments of the star bloggers in here to the Commisioner’s scouting report that was recently featured (2009, I think, is when he wrote it), I am beginning to suspect that some people in here can’t recognize outstanding point guard skill sets from those of a …black swan.
dinohealth - February 13, 2012
I am beginning to suspect that some people in here can’t recognize outstanding point guard skill sets from those of a …black swan.
You are simplifying it too much. There’s lots of players with the same potential for potential that never pan out. Someone is on the nuts of every one of them so someone has to get lucky when one does pan out. I’m really surprised that anyone is surprised that it happened or that it was a surprised that it happened. A black swan is not something that doesn’t exist it’s just something that is so unlikely that it’s not worth worrying about or planning around. This is one of those rare cases where everyone did the right thing yet some get flack for it and some get praise. The Dubs, Lakers, Mavs, Houston , and NYK all did what they should have but only desperate NY gets the praise.
Skeptic con Urquell - February 13, 2012
Lin was not a black swan event as much as Biedrins was a white swan event -- we knew he would be terrible in 2012.
I posted this below, but there was someone who predicted Jeremy Lin would become a star.

About Lin and wondering what if
A few days ago, I was really upset about Lin. Now that I have had time to think, I don’t think it is as bad as I thought. Even in the same circumstances on this team, there is no promise that he would have performed the same way. Sometimes all things come together in a way that can never be duplicated, and I think this is one of those things. If he were here, he might not have put up those kinds of numbers. I guess the painful part is we will never know because that ship has sailed. But, this is what happened and what we got to work with. I think that should now be the focus.
As for Klay, I have loved him since Christmas Day, even with his rough start. I see the glass as half-full. Do you remember when Mark Jackson said in an interview recently (actually, it was about Lin) something about believing being a strong factor in winning? It reminded me of We Believe. I think that if these guys on the Warriors truly believe they can do it, then they can. I think that some of them don’t believe it, and that can hold them back as a whole unit. I wish Beidrins would believe. He doesn’t, but maybe Tyler or someone else can gather up their confidence and push this forward. I hope so.
picknpop - February 13, 2012
Lin would not have put of the same numbers here that is for sure...Cuz he would not get the same pt BUT
LIN would still be here, and still have the same skillset that got him all those numbers in NY. It still is painful and will leave a scar..A scar that we can always look at and say “oh ya.. that hurt” It will be ok one day but the scar will stay there.. Something to talk about at the bar or somethin..
PIRATEWARRIOR - February 13, 2012
I'm trying to stay positive being a JLin fan and a Warriors fan. What hurt the team was not amnestying Biedrins cause we lost Lin and Bell's expiring (Reggie, too, but he was UFA).
I really thought dumping AB would help the team get a big, impact C.
Lin’s Warriors Highlights
Jeremy Lin, Welcome to the NBA
callahan - February 13, 2012
NICE LINK there is a large enough body of evidence there to suggest Lin deserved starter mintues for 5 to 10 games
to determine 1) that he belongs (even if just a backup) 2) to show the league he is worthy and thus raise his trading stock.
The play from Lin to Reggie for 3 kinda hurt to watch .. sigh..

Trying to come up with a nickname for Beans
That encapsulates his terrible play
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
I think “Invisi-beans” is pretty apt without being too mean-spirited.
Sleepy Freud - February 13, 2012
How about “Beans.” Maybe that nickname was a self-fulfilling prophecy. Or you could call him, “Hill of Beans.”
Naticus - February 13, 2012
How about “nada-beans” because nothing is there.

How about these?
-“(team) couldn’t be playing any better, and the Warriors are only down by ____”
-“(player) is only shooting (low three point percentage) this season, and he has already hit three tonight!” Implying luck/ignoring defense
-“(player) coming into your living room!” during replay from baseline floor cam as he heads to commercial.
-“Monta is just doing everything out there”
-“If you are going to foul a guy, don’t let him make the shot” Orly? Thanx Bob.
And if we are doing Jim too
“You have to make a three-on-one and two-on-one”
“This is where the ball is going to go” Illustrating before a jump ball
olympicmike - February 13, 2012
LOL
This one always cracks me up. IIRC, a couple of games ago, Boob exclaimed “Monta’s doing it all!!!” in a game in which he had a bunch of points, a bunch of missed shots, and like 3 combined rebounds and assists.
Sleepy Freud - February 13, 2012
plus he makes it sound as tho he is the only one playing his heart out and trying....
PIRATEWARRIOR - February 13, 2012
This is true of almost any player at a given time.
I think it happens to Monta more than most.
Even if not a product of heart or effort, his consistent aggressiveness definitely sets him apart, at least visually. When the ball gets thrown around the outside, dropped down into the post, and then thrown back out and around again, players start to fall into a pattern of not being aggressive. The pattern isn’t too difficult to break, but sometimes it just doens’t happen. The fact that Monta is by far the most consistently aggressive player is definitely something to point to. If all of our players were more aggressive, we’d be a better team.
The counterpoint to this, is of course, that Monta’s aggression is not always controlled aggression, and that sometimes it can have negative affects on our team.
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
IF ONLY beans were this aggressive hah wow.. I still remember him taking it to the hole for a nasty dunk once or twice..
has he NO EGO? you would think he would want to do that just to look at the crowd and make them see his facial expression of “ya.. i did that, what the F&^$ are you going to do to stop me?”
Ellis does put forth good effort.. He could be so much better by tweaking parts of his game. Trying to emulate Kobe is just wrong.. on so many levels..
PIRATEWARRIOR - February 13, 2012
I can live with that shot, it was a 2-for-1 situation.
skitlets - February 13, 2012
I say we start Udoh on Frye and just assign him to make Frye roll up into fetal position and cry after his miserable game.
Naticus - February 13, 2012
REC'D nightmare for Frye tonight

"Shoot KRC"
get it….?
cybermaldonado - February 13, 2012
Curry-Monta is the most significant thing that is happening on this team at this moment.
If those two continue to play well together and grow as a backcourt, anything is possible. Their upside potential is so significant to the success of this team, that we cannot talk enough about it. Simply stated, it can be the most devastating backcourt in the NBA! The play of Lee, Udoh, and the bench (especially Thompson coming to his own), i think is definitely good news. However, if Curry-Monta continue to click and deliver close to 50 points and 12+ assists per game, the sky is the limit (even, possibly, playoffs, and more than the 30 game wins I predicted at the beginning of this season). Let’s hope that tonight they will continue to gel!
dinohealth - February 13, 2012
LOL. The sky is low in Warriorland…
Sleepy Freud - February 13, 2012
For the talent on this team, especially in the lane, that would be an accomplishment!
Let’s hope the FO can do better by next year for our inside game. If we are lucky, even Biedrins might come around this year. Udoh is definitely showing sign of doing so.
dinohealth - February 13, 2012
I think the most significant thing happening is the emergence of Klay and Rush..
If he makes a case that says he deserves more time than Monta, then we are in a nice pickle..
PIRATEWARRIOR - February 13, 2012
how did you feel about Belinelli at this point in his rookie year
the Klay thing makes me feel good. i hope he develops even more.
speaking of Lin, Marco didn’t get a shot for the Dubs either. but lets be fair he was a bust
JimPunkrockford - February 13, 2012
9 out of 10 times the guy is going to be a bust, but, it never hurts to throw a handfull of games at a guy
and with STARTER minutes at that in order to see what the guy has.. We NEVER did that for Lin. Its a mistake to let anyone go without doing this imo. The only time this hurts a team to try is when ur in the playoff hunt and each game counts. Sometimes its not a risk at ALL , see NY
PIRATEWARRIOR - February 13, 2012
9 out of 10 times??? a lottery pick is gonna be a bust????
JimPunkrockford - February 13, 2012
I was speaking of Lin...
but even at that, I shoulda said 99 out of 100
PIRATEWARRIOR - February 13, 2012
Forgot Suns had Gortat and Brown...
Nash always seems to dominate us. But we NEED this win!! Wolves lost tonight, so if we beat Suns we inch closer to that 8th seed! Lets go!!!!
Potential - February 13, 2012
we NEED it to.
the is our first on a 3 in 3.
2NASHTY - February 13, 2012
Its so wild to think we are 4 games back of 5th seed. EVERYONE knew that we
were gonna get hit the hardest by the lockout , with such a roster turnover and new coach and 4 rookies! We are showing signs of gelling now.. Klay is emerging to be at the least an OK player (potential to be great)! Jackson I thought coached pretty well last night. Now is a good test to see what we really got..
PIRATEWARRIOR - February 13, 2012
Such a huge roster turnover? We’re like the only team with the same starting 5 we used last season. Our bench changed, but most of us here recognize that your team goes as your top three players go. And that’s why our record looks just like last years’.
Uwe Blog - February 13, 2012 via mobile
over under 300 hard screens Nash runs Curry through tonight...?
cybermaldonado - February 13, 2012
5 bucks on over... specifically 304..
PIRATEWARRIOR - February 13, 2012
Good article for Evanz. The man who predicted Jeremy Lin would be a star.
Jeremy Lin A Superstar? This Man Saw It Coming
callahan - February 13, 2012
I didn't realize until right now that coming into tonight
we’ve only played 24 games so far
Clippers were at 25
Utah was at 26
and everyone else in the West was at 27 or 28
4 at 27 (PHX, SAC, OKC, NOH)
8 at 28 (LAC, MIN, POR, DEN, MEM, HOU, DAL, SA)
I’m trying to decide if this is a good or bad thing for our playoff chances.
It’s good in that we may have already gotten our bad stretch of play out of the way while playing fewer games than our competition. We could have more games left to make up the difference.
It’s bad in that the more grueling part of the schedule may be yet to come.
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
I was looking at that last night. We’ve played the fewest games in the league so far.
Uwe Blog - February 13, 2012 via mobile
ohh man, that brandan wright dunk
JimPunkrockford - February 13, 2012
he’s playing good. why did we waive him again?
JimPunkrockford - February 13, 2012
yeah he’s a great player but I can’t even remember how we got rid of him…
AlbinoWhale - February 13, 2012
OT
I’m beginning to think Blake Griffin may not be all that.
Very good, but perhaps not great. He may actually have regressed a bit from last season. And it’s not like he’s got some ridiculous untapped upside: he’s almost 23 — only 6 months younger than Kevin Durant.
Sleepy Freud - February 13, 2012
Already one of the best floppers of all time
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
He needs to learn how to post up
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
I think it’s because players start playing tougher defense on him.
or maybe it’s cause of this,
AlbinoWhale - February 13, 2012
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKJoc_SyKgs
AlbinoWhale - February 13, 2012
He has no shot and no post up, all he does is dunk. Way better than him efficient, rebounds, mid range shooting, footwork basis.
ayeyoJERM - February 13, 2012
I meant player like lamarcus aldridge are better
ayeyoJERM - February 13, 2012
No post up game.
IQ not that great.
Defense is not very good.
Settles for jumpers when he’s the most athletic guy on the court.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees some of this anymore.

no idea why ppl are giving him hard time on his offense. We don’t need his offense!
ILoveWarriorsGirls - February 13, 2012
no he's not
he had a 6-game stretch where he didn’t finish with more than 4 rebounds once and averaged less than 3 per game
playing better tonight (so far) doesn’t make him consistent :/

richstyle - February 13, 2012
Refs arent calling anything so far
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
Klay
is pushing monta out the door slowly with each game
dandubz - February 13, 2012
this^^^
stayedupto - February 13, 2012
They should trade Monta before this game
.. now Monta has no value at all… he is cancer!
ILoveWarriorsGirls - February 13, 2012
Nash with more than twice the assists of our entire team
lulz
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
trade Curry for Nash, I am telling you.
Nash and Klay, superstar backcourt!
ILoveWarriorsGirls - February 13, 2012
Good defense Udoh and Klay
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
wow that was suffocating defense
i love it!
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
yeah, that's the defense i want to see
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
m0ar defense like that!
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
OK, that Rush 3 was a bit long
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
How dare rush miss that!
LuvDubs - February 13, 2012
I knew he was a flash in the pan!
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012

Staticlysmic - February 13, 2012
Nash

IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012

AJC3317 - February 13, 2012
Klay around a screen!
He’s awesome with that
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
is Steph the 2 guard right now?
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
good Udoh rebound, including a box out
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Udoh - get that outta here!
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Klay!
LuvDubs - February 13, 2012
Klay with the cleanup!
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
klay thompson

Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012

starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012

Raiiny - February 13, 2012
Did the arena annoucer give that bucket to Nate?
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012

And may we present to you
our suckiness
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
mark jackson better have a talk with udoh
2nd 3sec
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Yeah, the problem is that the Suns are so spread out
Udoh in the middle of that zone has to keep moving around, and when he forgets, it’s a defensive 3
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Udoh with a block at the perimeter!
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
UDOH
Staticlysmic - February 13, 2012
Udoh block
get outta here telfair
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Blocka Blocka!
LuvDubs - February 13, 2012
i understand 3 sec guarding Frye
but guarding Gortat? c’mon you can stick to him outside the paint
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
this idiot refs
MonstaEllis - February 13, 2012
i wonder if there's a stat that shows which team causes the most defensive 3s
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
did not realize Lee has 7 rebounds already
impressive
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
its the only thing we're doing well as a team
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
and nash just pisses me off
MonstaEllis - February 13, 2012
Nash has a herp
LuvDubs - February 13, 2012
UDONT!
block
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
udoh is a blocking machine
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
lol good one Monta
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
did they pull the chair on Monta?
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
yup
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Yeah....not a good shot there
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
that would have been a pretty pnr
overthrown by curry
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
either a bad Curry pass or stone hands Udoh
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Udoh with a poking steal!
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
I'm starting to think Udoh, may have no O
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
just now youre starting?
bigkino217 - February 13, 2012
anyone plays with Curry or Monta has no O
hummm…. people should look at the glass half full…
ILoveWarriorsGirls - February 13, 2012
Guess Udoh doesn't know how to finish the pick and roll off with an off glass shot
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
why do we always insisit on making udoh the focal point of the offense?
AJC3317 - February 13, 2012
Monta bad horrible game
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
I believe this is the lineup cost us the TO game vs Kings
ILoveWarriorsGirls - February 13, 2012
This is a game where we need distributor Monta
But he’s just chucking more and more
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
Klay for three
LuvDubs - February 13, 2012
FEED IT TO KLAY MILLER
richstyle - February 13, 2012
Why isn't Klay taking EVERY shot?
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
Klay is bailing out the Dubs
Critical Roach - February 13, 2012
Go away Monta!
LuvDubs - February 13, 2012
Even when we suck
Klay doesn’t
dandubz - February 13, 2012
no homo
dandubz - February 13, 2012
please do not let Telfair hit shots dude is certified bum
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
what the hell happened to Lopez
didnt he used to be good
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
He did?
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
any center with Nash plays good
ILoveWarriorsGirls - February 13, 2012
not really
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
for a few games
2NASHTY - February 13, 2012
good as in 11 and 7? which i think he did for one season
and had a back surgery and then a foot surgery and at one time dated Michelle Wie
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
Rush driving? nope, not with Lopez there
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Rush, like the aggresiveness but stick to the threes for now
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
why are these scrubs keep makin shots
richstyle - February 13, 2012
Monta just off his shot
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Chucker Monta be chuckin'
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
take monta out MARK WTF
richstyle - February 13, 2012
Jenkins!
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
srsly i want Jenkins to play
richstyle - February 13, 2012
i love me some cj
he needs to play every game! fit him into the rotation mj!
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
i love cj too, nice to see him get burn with Rose out....
wait we not talking the same Cj are we?
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
yes yes the quiet storm must start some moar!
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
MONTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
stop
Staticlysmic - February 13, 2012
I can’t believe they snubbed Monta for the All Star game!
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
He's having an off game.
Chill.
GSW_fan - February 13, 2012
Yet he keeps throwing it up
LuvDubs - February 13, 2012
Jackson needs to take him out then.
Which I also agree with.
GSW_fan - February 13, 2012
He can’t recognize it? He has to be forcefully restrained from chucking?
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
Somebody should tell him he is
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
Well if you're having an off game you don't take more shots then any of your teammate!
buky - February 13, 2012
Put Jenkins in over Monta
farid - February 13, 2012
Wha?
Kaly!!
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
errr
Klay!!!
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
And the Warriors have a rough schedule coming
prepare for some more ugliness
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
will Magics still trade Howard for Monta?
ILoveWarriorsGirls - February 13, 2012
yaaaa monta 0-9 babyyy
stayedupto - February 13, 2012
and this
is why monta is not an all star
stayedupto - February 13, 2012
Monta, you are so sucklin suck
ILoveWarriorsGirls - February 13, 2012
this is fuckin frustrating. these suns are fuckin pathetic, refs are not blowing so DRIVE IT IN AND FORCE THEM TO BLOW IT.
MonstaEllis - February 13, 2012
Mark bench Monta till the 4th. PUT JENKINS IN
richstyle - February 13, 2012
Jenkins is bad too. play no defense
ILoveWarriorsGirls - February 13, 2012
Why isn't the offense being run through Klay right now?
I hate the Monta post-up/iso so much.
crimson and gray - February 13, 2012
i just hate an undersized team play so much useless half court offense
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
Especially since MJ seems to really like him
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
Thank goodness for Lee's cleanup
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
David Lee impressive rebound
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Dorell cleanup
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Thank goodness for DWright's cleanup
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
good thing we have so many messy guys
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
Where is Beans???
ILoveWarriorsGirls - February 13, 2012
He got his 10 minutes already
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
good answer
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
sad but true
dandubz - February 13, 2012
Momentum Shift
GSW_fan - February 13, 2012
We're scrambling on defense and the rebounding, that's good
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
David Lee very very very impressive game
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Serious question
Marvin Williams or Wright? Dont think of the contract
dubzfan - February 13, 2012
sorry contract is the first thing i think of
thats like saying Monta or Joe Johnson but dont think of the contract
in fantasy land we know whats the better fit but in reality with silly GM’s handing out money like water we know who gets more bang for the bucks
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
Assuming they got paid the same, whos better
dubzfan - February 13, 2012
in your guys opinion
dubzfan - February 13, 2012
marvin williams is pretty bad
bigkino217 - February 13, 2012
Duh curry!
LuvDubs - February 13, 2012
What the hell is with these 3 second violations
GSW_fan - February 13, 2012
How does Curry draw a 3 second offense call???
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
CURRY U AWAKE BRO?
richstyle - February 13, 2012
lol genius tank master Mark Jackson
yes keep giving them +1s
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
That's madness.
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
Lee
Always goes off on Side Show Bob!
Critical Roach - February 13, 2012
Lee just can't hit that jumper
Raiiny - February 13, 2012
No one can hit a jumper
GSW_fan - February 13, 2012
tired
back2back
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Refs
Horrible officiating
Monta'sCellphone - February 13, 2012
Thank God we have Beans back in.
crimson and gray - February 13, 2012
Nice Lee postup
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
we just subbed out klay. guess we’re not interested in scoring the rest of the half
AJC3317 - February 13, 2012
DLEE!!
Monta'sCellphone - February 13, 2012
Curry transition swish 3!
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
sweet all net
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
lol steph called for that so hard
he was feelin that
dandubz - February 13, 2012
Dudley standing feet from the hoop unbodied
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
There you go Monta
Raiiny - February 13, 2012
Montaaaaaaa
Welcome back!
GSW_fan - February 13, 2012
lol
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
zomg monta made a shot!?
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Lee's got to watch that spin move
defenses watching it
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Thanks for showing up monta :)
Monta'sCellphone - February 13, 2012
Is it just me....
or does Lee always go out of his way not to pass the ball to Curry?
cybermaldonado - February 13, 2012
DAVID LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
MVP
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
And were tied !
Raiiny - February 13, 2012
Thank goodness for offensive rebounds!
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
bad steph 3 but lee cleans up
AJC3317 - February 13, 2012
Suns love watching Stephs beautiful stroke so much they forget they are playing in the game
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
Nash so goddamn good
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
I wasn't really liking that Curry 3 attempt with a new shotclock
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Monta allergic to the paint tonight
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
Now Curry chucking
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
Steph stop chucking like Monta
GSW_fan - February 13, 2012
I think the Suns will regret not being up 10 at the half of this one.
Worst half we’ve played at home in awhile.
crimson and gray - February 13, 2012
Steph stop that
Raiiny - February 13, 2012
Dumb shots by Curry
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
was that a 2 for 1?
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
Hill wide open wtf
Raiiny - February 13, 2012
Goddamn it stupid Warriors
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
Monta good recognition to double team Frye with Curry defending
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
oh course Hill will make that
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
wow you cant leave any Phoenix player wide open from three
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
well, the problem was that Gortat had Curry, and they had to help Curry
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
sorry, i meant Frye
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
didnt see that, thought it was Frye on Lee
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
Curry on Frye
Lee on Nash. Monta doubled. I thought Lee should have rotated
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Lee rotating?
thats like Monta refusing to take off balance 21 foot jumpers
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
you actually want Channing Frye to post up against a similar sized opponent
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
Is Mcguire back for this game?
dandubz - February 13, 2012
Didn't see any news either way
so i’m guessing he’s back
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
what happened to him?
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
sore knee or somethin
sat out last night
dandubz - February 13, 2012
under over for Monta last shot to be a heavy contested turnaround?
buky - February 13, 2012
wrong
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
Thank goodness for Monta's half closing shot
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Down 3 after playing like that?
Sounds good to me.
crimson and gray - February 13, 2012
yup
dandubz - February 13, 2012
Damn you Monta
2NASHTY - February 13, 2012
To the Warriors credit, they clawed back in
They had some nice defensive stops near the end of that qtr
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Man that rim must be bent after so many bricks...but down by 3 its all good
Monta'sCellphone - February 13, 2012
now if Monta or Steph can start taking better shots before Nash starts looking for his own
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
Udoh only has 2 blocks? I thought he had at least 3
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
Nash got 9 assists in first half.
Warriors assist total is at 7. Abysmal..
farid - February 13, 2012
only if we have Lin..
ILoveWarriorsGirls - February 13, 2012
No one’s making any shots
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
IDK
you guys heated up towards the end.
2NASHTY - February 13, 2012
we did?
All we did was clean up after ourselves. We had Monta and Curry chucking for misses
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
they were hitting at the end
2NASHTY - February 13, 2012
Brick City!
Critical Roach - February 13, 2012
any astronomers here?
long shot but since I’m already on here, I might as well ask lol
so I’m having a tough time figuring out the mathematics behind Newton’s Law of Gravity. I got a question that asks me: “Suppose the Moon was 4x closer to the Earth than it is now, would the gravitational force of the Earth on the Moon be stronger or weaker? How much stronger or weaker?”
I know that it would be stronger. But I don’t know how to prove it with mathematics lol. My professor uses shortcuts instead of clear cut algebra. I get that F=GM1M2/R2 but what the hell do I plug in to find HOW much stronger the force will be?
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
M1 = mass of earth
M2 = mass of moon
R = distance between earth and moon
G = gravitational constant
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
you plug in the current distance to find the current F
then you plug in the distance that’s 1/4 shorter to find the new F
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
I wish our Warriors had your IQ
dandubz - February 13, 2012
haha
well, Monta THE Boss better check that, because i did that off memory. I haven’t done physics in many many years
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
it's correct
bigkino217 - February 13, 2012
Thanks
it turns out there’s an easier way to solve it. Since m1, m2 and G are constants, you don’t care about those. You only care about F and r. Anyway, back to the game.
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
ahhh do tell more
that’s the shortcut I’m looking for. I don’t get it lol do explain pretty please? :)
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
next commerical break
or at the end of the qtr
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
thanks so much IQ
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Try this
You have 2 measurements. Since G, m1, m2 are constants in both measurements, you can treat them as one number, let’s say k.
- First force measurement:
1st F = k / r^2
- Second force measurement:
2nd F = k / (r/4)^2
2nd F = k / (r^2/16)
2nd F = 16 k / r^2
- Notice that k/r^2 is the same formula as the 1st measurement
2nd F = 16 x first F
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
thank you so much IQ
comprehending now
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
F = (M1*M2*G) / (R^2)
if the earth was 4x closer (Rnew = R/4)
Fnew = (M1*M2*G) / Rnew^2
Fnew = (M1*M2*G) / (R/4)^2
Fnew = 1/16 * (M1*M2*G) / R^2
Fnew = 1/16*F
bigkino217 - February 13, 2012
Yep
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
Nope, you forgot that (1/16) is UNDER a fraction already
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
sorry my last 2 lines are wrong
should be
Fnew = 16 * (M1*M2*G) / R^2
Fnew/16 = F
bigkino217 - February 13, 2012
gah sorry, you're solving for Fnew lol
Fnew = 16*F
bigkino217 - February 13, 2012
yep
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
my math is rusty lol
bigkino217 - February 13, 2012
I'm glad I'm not the only math guy around here
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Try doing magnetic and electric fields
Now that’s hard
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
How hard can it possibly be?
What type of math is it?
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
E&M gets pretty hard lol
bigkino217 - February 13, 2012
Hah!
Nah, piece of cake for me. OK, maybe not. But I think I can do it given enough time to study it.
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
haha
im an engineer. been a while since i saw math that wasn’t differential equations
bigkino217 - February 13, 2012
What kind
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
chemical
bigkino217 - February 13, 2012
Hey I'm in chemistry too
Just not engineering
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
have to admit though
i don’t do a whole lot of engineering at work lol
bigkino217 - February 13, 2012
thanks kino
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
make sure you get the right answer out of those comments lol
i messed up a little
bigkino217 - February 13, 2012
thanks IQ
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
i lol'd
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
......
Witch!
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
hahahaha
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Btw, I did the math in my head
I canceled out the common variables. The F should be 16x greater on 4x shorter distance
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
16 X stronger
the force of gravity is an inverse function of the distance betweeen 2 masses 4 times closer 4 X4 =16
2NASHTY - February 13, 2012
or easier you can use the law of inverse squares
So say if the distance is halved… then the gravity is 4x as strong. If the distance is doubled, then the gravity is 1/4.
Nith - February 13, 2012
Btw, next time if you could,
hold the math question until after the game. I have no idea what happened in that 3rd qtr. :P
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Good defense
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Thompson is a beast
Too bad I can’t watch because of school work
duballers23 - February 13, 2012
Was Robinson /Curry/Thompason/Rush/Udoh the smallest lineup of the year?
Goofus - February 13, 2012
What is that call!?
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
bad
not because it should have been a charge. should have been a no call
AJC3317 - February 13, 2012
dudley pulled up but monta was bracing for impact and leaned forward into him
bigkino217 - February 13, 2012
Nash is killing us on that pick and roll
we defended the 1st attempt, but he got us on the 2nd attempt
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
once again, being killed by the pick and roll
luckily they missed

dorell adding new moves to his repotoire. the falling down pump fake
AJC3317 - February 13, 2012
Lee nice move on Gortat
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
if Gortat is with Warriors, base on that play
People will want to amnesty Gortat.
ILoveWarriorsGirls - February 13, 2012
because all the other plays in the game don't matter?
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
monta you suck
stayedupto - February 13, 2012
At least Klay will play the whole 4th.
crimson and gray - February 13, 2012
This is getting ugly again. Play the guys like Nate, Tyler, Jenkins, and Dom
callahan - February 13, 2012
yes please
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
I'm back
how are we doing
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
2 brick houses down
working on a 3rd
AJC3317 - February 13, 2012
we're getting executed to death
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Thank goodness for that Monta 3
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
montaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Monta NICE pass to Lee
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012

Staticlysmic - February 13, 2012
Monta Nash
David Lee finish
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Hey an assist!
After 16 shots. Atta boy Monta.
crimson and gray - February 13, 2012

doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
Lee nice off glass
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
David Lee MVP
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012

Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
"Aching to come alive"
Fitz says that a little too much
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
I don't like the small ball vs PHX. They tire us out and that's ball game.
callahan - February 13, 2012
David Lee MVP
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Lee again off glass!
We still need more scoring help, or more defense
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Frye is a Warriors killer
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
how many times does wright need to get abused in the post before we make a change?
AJC3317 - February 13, 2012
dwrighttttt
calvinnhobbes - February 13, 2012
Frye shoots the 3 and posts up
unguardable for the dubz!
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
+1!
TheSoundOfHockey - February 13, 2012
DWright nice and-1 at the hoop
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
nice and 1 by DW
Critical Roach - February 13, 2012
Jackson you idiot put in Udoh you moron how can fucking Frye score on post up three times in a row!!!!!!!
buky - February 13, 2012
I don't get why Dorell doesn't do that more
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
that was pretty sick
2NASHTY - February 13, 2012

Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
EKPEEE
calvinnhobbes - February 13, 2012
Ekpe Gasol
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Udoh can righty hook it!
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
LOL @ Shannon Browns face
richstyle - February 13, 2012
Brown sucks
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
indeed
2NASHTY - February 13, 2012
wow i forgot about that guy
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
chris browns long lost brother
richstyle - February 13, 2012
Looks like Steph took a step back after those good games
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
consistancy
the one thing i’d love for him to have
AJC3317 - February 13, 2012
it wont happen
with monta here curry defers to much
stayedupto - February 13, 2012
i don't think monta has anything to do with it
he had his good games with monta here. he just needs to play better
AJC3317 - February 13, 2012
Not used to winning two-in-a-row?
callahan - February 13, 2012
we can win this game!!!
stayedupto - February 13, 2012
feed it to lee hes feelin it
richstyle - February 13, 2012

IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
LELLLELLELELLEEEEE
calvinnhobbes - February 13, 2012
Beautiful play, Curry to a cutting Lee!
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
LEE AGAIN
TheSoundOfHockey - February 13, 2012
Steph with the nice drop pass
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
STEPH TO MVP LEE
David Lee MVP
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
That was nice!
Critical Roach - February 13, 2012
How is Lee not an All-Star
dude’s AVERAGING a double-double and not the 10-10 kinds…
hankmoody - February 13, 2012
Not on a winning team. Just like Monta.
callahan - February 13, 2012
what kind?
because i could use that argument for Al Jefferson or Paul Gasol who also average a double-double and didnt make it
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
Jefferson should be
And I’m talking about Lee putting up 20-13 (and more) lines pretty consistently, which he has been
hankmoody - February 13, 2012
wow I did not know that (18 on 50% shooting-10reb)
i always complain of his suckness in game threads
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
because its more than numbers
ask al jefferson
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
you no like Lee?
hankmoody - February 13, 2012
defense counts too
bigkino217 - February 13, 2012
not for the all star game
not saying lee should be an all star tho
AJC3317 - February 13, 2012
Curry, do not foul a 3 pt shooter!
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
WHY STEPH WHY
WHY WHY WHY
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Wow Curry...
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
Seriously?
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
and then Steph fouling Redd shooting a three
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
and he's limping again
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
walk it off
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
oh man tweak the ankel
tolliver - February 13, 2012
Great Curry hurt his ankle AND he fouled a guy shooting the three
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
dandubz - February 13, 2012
steph... :/
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
GREAT WHEN THINKS GO GOOD...WARRIORS CURSE STRIKES AGAIN
richstyle - February 13, 2012
Replay please
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
For real
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
I think Klay is allergic to the third quarter.
crimson and gray - February 13, 2012
I hope Michael Redd continuities on to have a good career
Always liked him
hankmoody - February 13, 2012
walk it off steph
bathroom break
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Udoh midrange jumper!
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
i love Udoh's arching shot
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
So Udoh has had an effect
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
steph is fine
just a lil tweak
stayedupto - February 13, 2012
There was no push!
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
Go Udoh! Grab some boards!
callahan - February 13, 2012
Possibly one of the worst officiated games in a while.
Monta'sCellphone - February 13, 2012
Jim Barnett justifying the ref, GUESSING
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
*guesstifying
hankmoody - February 13, 2012
good thing gortat shoots bricks
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
defense!
TheSoundOfHockey - February 13, 2012
childress got hops
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
orlando really made a mistake letting him go
if dwight leaves…..
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
Warriors WILL get the last shot
in the form of free throws.
yoshifan - February 13, 2012
Childress wondering why they call it that time
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
Man phx is garbage. The Warriors should be killing them.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
the sun's hot the last 5 games
tolliver - February 13, 2012
Yes, but in THIS game they're just so lackadaisical.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
Nice box out by Monta that time!
farid - February 13, 2012
LGW BABY
stayedupto - February 13, 2012
HEY FITZ HOW CAN U REBOUND WHEN YOU PLAY SMALL ALL THE TIME?
richstyle - February 13, 2012
my fav is when he says the Warriors are getting too perimeter (I.E. Missed shots)
um, well that’s what we do every night.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
Theoretically
Udoh defends so well that his inability to rebound doesn’t really matter
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
or
udoh’s inabilaty to rebound nullifies his good defense?
AJC3317 - February 13, 2012
yeah thats one way to put it
sure Kevin Love is a so-so defender but if he gets you to take even a slightly bad shot then he wins the battle because no doubt he’s getting the board
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
ah didnt need to pick him like that Udoh
almost risked a foul
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
clap clap clap
22-8 run to close the 3rd
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
22-8 run
Huge momentum change for you guys.
yoshifan - February 13, 2012
put curry back in
we got this
stayedupto - February 13, 2012
Tim Roye saying the trainer was looking at him?
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
Ankle?
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
We need to put Udoh and Biedrins together to make a decent C.
callahan - February 13, 2012
finally
got through that rough shooting 3 quarters with a lead
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
So
who was the guy who turned the tables in the 3rd quarter?
I say everyone.
yoshifan - February 13, 2012
Lee was the real agressor on offense
but it was also a better team effort on defense
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
dlee udoh ellis dorell curry
MonstaEllis - February 13, 2012
i think david lee
Staticlysmic - February 13, 2012
I know Greg Monroe is putting up numbers
but man, can Udoh change the game
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
We're getting more shots, but PHX is making more AST. That's a problem when it goes to crunch time.
callahan - February 13, 2012
Nash....
yoshifan - February 13, 2012
LMAO nate jumps on the dude
richstyle - February 13, 2012
Robinson thought it was a fumble!
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
That was a big ol foul on Nate, these refs are horrible
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
nah
diving directly on top of someone is a totally clean play
AJC3317 - February 13, 2012
lol
didn’t even touch the floor
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
lets see nate win a jumpball
tolliver - February 13, 2012
udoh should stay here for the long run
he’s earning it
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
nate got hops
richstyle - February 13, 2012
ahhh drink
JimPunkrockford - February 13, 2012
Nate almost had it
TheSoundOfHockey - February 13, 2012
Good team defense
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Thanks for the freebie turnover!
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Rush!!!
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
fitz is so amazed they can't rebound
while playing 4 guards
kildare - February 13, 2012
SICK PASS
calvinnhobbes - February 13, 2012
lol Fitz is so dumb. how can you rebound when you play small against their big unit
richstyle - February 13, 2012
UDOH NASH
HOLY NICE
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Udoh with GREAT bounce pass to a cutting Rush!
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
UDOG TO RUSH
Staticlysmic - February 13, 2012
C'mon Monta
Going for the steal isn’t always good
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
how else is he gonna play defense?
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
ugh
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
lol Udoh you got bailed out.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
ah klay let him go
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Whoops, got around Klay too easily
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Morris straight up hooked Klay
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
Ugh, Monta, everything but the finish
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
ekpe
my man
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
Robinson on Frye lol
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Is Curry on the bench?
I can’t tell because my tuner isn’t very clear
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Yes
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
yes he is
close up just now
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
playing with his mustache on the bench
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Where is Biedrins?
farid - February 13, 2012
If anyone wonders why Monta isn't an all star
It’s games like these
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
5-20
Yikes.
crimson and gray - February 13, 2012
its almost like he was simulated in 2k
5-20 for 25 points……
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
where is currrry!!!!!!!!
stayedupto - February 13, 2012
injured. did you just get here?
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
hurt his ankle
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Thank goodness, it was the left ankle for Curry, says Bob
still waiting for a replay
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
There's the replay
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
ellis reminds me of s.mouse. anyone else?
JimPunkrockford - February 13, 2012
These refs, blegh
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
LOL AT FRYES FACE
calvinnhobbes - February 13, 2012
Man it's another one of those ankle injuries where he didn't land on anything or anyone. He just lands on his foot in an awkward position.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
back to back doesn't help either
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
Well
A condensed schedule and 30+ minutes a game doesn’t either
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
Yeah it sucks for Curry cause he can't get any rest on those ankles.
But hey, what can you do.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
Rush!
Free two points!
yoshifan - February 13, 2012
Udoh helped cause that turnover
his defense messed up that pass
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
LeBron Rush!
freight train throw down
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
wooo!
TheSoundOfHockey - February 13, 2012
rush hour
tolliver - February 13, 2012
Killed on the boards
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
childress got hops
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
TO's helping us, the 2nd chance points keeping the Suns close.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
BENCH DORRELL
START RUSH
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
+1
Will never happen though
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
why not
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
I just don’t see Marc Jackson doing it
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
hes outplayed him in every way
seriously, i cant think of a way dorrell has excelled past rush this season
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
To be fair I don't think he tells himself he needs to get these guys X amount of minutes.
He seems to go with the hot hand and/or to better matchups.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
I know, mama that man is married to his starters.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
OR BENCH MONTA
START RUSH
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
Don't worry Rush can take Curry's space
since apparently his ankle is acting up again
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
i meant in the long run
i want rush extended for 3 years
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
Don't worry this will happen in the long run
since Curry has ankles made of glass
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
rush cant play point?
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
No Monta will
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
Bench Monta - start Klay
Bench Dorell start Rush, bench Curry start Jennings :) We will be in playoffs!
farid - February 13, 2012
we just magically get brandon jennings?
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
love how Udoh was tiptoeing the top of the key that last possession
by the way this zone isnt going to work because PHX will destroy GSW on the offensive glass with Udoh chasing Frye
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
hope curry is not out long
tolliver - February 13, 2012
didnt look serious
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
left ankle he will be fine
stayedupto - February 13, 2012
it's just a matter of time though with so many games coming up
tolliver - February 13, 2012
curry better talk to grant hill after the game
….about lingering ankle injuries…maybe he can give him his surgeon’s no.
lakititi - February 13, 2012
Nate turning nothing into something!
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
3!
yoshifan - February 13, 2012
Nate 3!
TheSoundOfHockey - February 13, 2012
That looked like a 2 to me
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
Nate Robinson bombed it
looked like hsi foot was on the line though
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Good Nate on the floor so far
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
lee offers no resistance
tolliver - February 13, 2012

tolliver - February 13, 2012

IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
or nate 2!
TheSoundOfHockey - February 13, 2012
markieff eating us up
on the putbacks and layups
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
3rd comment
Childress got HOPS.
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Our defense = nice!
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Monta & Lee are not an all-star because the Ws aren't PO team. If we got Greg Monroe at C, then we would be close.
callahan - February 13, 2012
If we had Kwame we’d be 8th seed material
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
That would be pretty good combo. We should have amnestied Biedrins.
callahan - February 13, 2012
nifty move by rob
tolliver - February 13, 2012
we're destroying their bench again
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
make the freethrows dam
richstyle - February 13, 2012
Nash will come in
yoshifan - February 13, 2012
oh no nash is back
tolliver - February 13, 2012
Honestly are we going to go though this thing with Steph every single season
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
Nash back offense flows like water
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
Klay Richmond!!
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012

IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
fitz came in his pants after that board
lol
lakititi - February 13, 2012
Funny cause he's usually the one on his knees.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
Start him!
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012

calvinnhobbes - February 13, 2012
NATE 3
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Nate the Great 3!
We’re up 10!
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Going to be 9 after they review one of Nate's 3s
I think
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
i'll still take that
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Guess not, still at 10
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
Nate bombing one em
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
nate 3!!!!
WOW
TheSoundOfHockey - February 13, 2012
No chest bumping Curry!
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
curry is fine
lol
stayedupto - February 13, 2012
I want him carried home. Don’t even let him drive, his ankles in no position to use a pedal.
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
NATE THE GREAT
richstyle - February 13, 2012
steph jumping around after that nate 3, ankle must be feeling ok
AJC3317 - February 13, 2012
Whoo looks like the Warriors are on fire!
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
wowowowowowowowowowowow+10
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Offense is blazin'!
(I wish ours offense was, too….)
yoshifan - February 13, 2012
Monta is so damn expendable at this point.
I don’t really see an argument for keeping him. We are up 10 when he’s 5-20.
crimson and gray - February 13, 2012
dont worry everyone feels the same way
richstyle - February 13, 2012
agreee
stayedupto - February 13, 2012
curry hasn't done much either
he’s been just as bad
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
i don’t think 3-8 with 5 assists qualifies as “just as bad” as 5-20. still bad tho
AJC3317 - February 13, 2012
start nate!!!!!!!!!!!
tolliver - February 13, 2012
absolutely not
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012

hankmoody - February 13, 2012
I can already picture McGee running the other way :)
farid - February 13, 2012
funniest thing i’ve seen in a long time
hankmoody - February 13, 2012
or trying a windmill free throw line dunk only to lose it at the 3 point line
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
i just want his blocks
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
too bad he bring a whole lot of bad with those blocks
not to mention how bad he chases them half the time
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
LOL
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
I still fail to see the infatuation with McGee. Do other people watch the Wiz?
The fact that he is gonna get paid scares the crap outta me.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
I was saying to my Suns-fan friend
as soon as we take a 1-point lead, this one is over
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
Nate Robinson plays soccer in off-season with Nash.
farid - February 13, 2012
LGW
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
stayedupto - February 13, 2012
34-22 bench points
Warriors have the advantage.
yoshifan - February 13, 2012
Rush + Nate
HUSTLIN (literally)
hankmoody - February 13, 2012
HustLIN
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
oh god no
these Linisms are Linsufferable
hankmoody - February 13, 2012
lol nate you gota give it to the guy
MonstaEllis - February 13, 2012
Klay is far from defensive liability they all talked about. Not to mention he can't miss!
buky - February 13, 2012
Klay was always solid on defense at Wazzu
I don’t know where people got this defensive liability thing from..
james_WSU - February 13, 2012
roaracle must be going nuts
wish i wasnt in massachussetts
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
liking this game a lot....
hung in there with timely runs and now we’re hot. too bad about curry though. we need him going into this tough stretch….
lakititi - February 13, 2012
We may not rebound
but if we can keep up our defense, it wno’t matter
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
jinx!
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
yup
they arent gonna get every offensive board
lakititi - February 13, 2012
oooof
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Classic Lee
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
Uh oh, Klutz Lee
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
W's r gonna lose this game
JimPunkrockford - February 13, 2012
here we go...
richstyle - February 13, 2012
Uh oh, now only up 5
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Whew
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Can we close this>
TheSoundOfHockey - February 13, 2012
5-3 and call TO?
OK….
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
Wants them to slow it down.
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
TIME OUT?!
you had a 5v3
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
They will blow up layup while suns are cherry picking.
farid - February 13, 2012
Thinks we're playing out of control.
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
Klay got that fast break DEEEEEFENSE
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
WAT KINDA TIMEOUT IS THAT
richstyle - February 13, 2012
The best kind
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
He's going to tell them to be more patient.
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
LOL Grant Hill missed it
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
klay
good d!
lakititi - February 13, 2012
steve nash
the greatest
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
wrong MJ is the greatest
stayedupto - February 13, 2012
LOL it was 5v3
richstyle - February 13, 2012
14 assists for Nash
That’s crazy.
yoshifan - February 13, 2012
LOL Mark Jackson tank commander
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Did Smart just call that timeout!?
Amazing. Rush had a 3 or an easy lane
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
who?
hankmoody - February 13, 2012
Keith Smart did that last year too, but in an even better scenario to score
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
ahhh I see
hankmoody - February 13, 2012
morris can shoot the trey?
Lam1234 - February 13, 2012
No he can't
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
?
hes 43% and makes 1.6 per 36
bigkino217 - February 13, 2012
Damn Really?
I thought he was shooting 30%
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
he plays a lot like channing frye does
bigkino217 - February 13, 2012
Nice to know
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
except he puts on it on the floor better and does not need 10 feet in front of him to shoot normal without flinching/hesistating
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
He's been up and down.
But he had a couple good games already. He has inside game too.
farid - February 13, 2012
He is ~43% for the season from 3pt
farid - February 13, 2012
somewhat
hankmoody - February 13, 2012
yes he's the one that can, the other one is the one that cant
and probably why he’s in the d-league while markieff still gets meaningful minutes
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
42.9%
2.1 attempt/0.9 make
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
i think MJ called that timeout because he sensed some pensiveness and tension from the last couple of possessions
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Agreed.
Not that bad.
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
Maybe he wants to ice the Suns' offense
yoshifan - February 13, 2012
Yep it wasn't that bad
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
He had 5 on 3 though.
callahan - February 13, 2012
You miss that 3 pter
They get a free bucket
bojangles408 - February 13, 2012
MJ called timeout because he can't believe Klay is the best defense player in the team
ILoveWarriorsGirls - February 13, 2012
WHY CANT WE GRAB A F IN REBOUND. UDOH YOU F IN IDIOT
MonstaEllis - February 13, 2012
Where is Beans?!
ILoveWarriorsGirls - February 13, 2012
His mind is in Latvia
His body is in the Bay Area
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
Anyone else think Nash would be a great fit for the Pacers?
He obviously doesn’t have but a season or two left but he’d do some good there, and Collison could learn a lot from him
hankmoody - February 13, 2012
Yea....let's keep turning over, good plan
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
What the f was that?
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Rush and Dorell may have equal handles
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
cmon Rush
mykelala01 - February 13, 2012
Here comes Steph
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
played the PNR perfectly
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Can someone box Morris out? wtf
bojangles408 - February 13, 2012
I'll take that Nash 3 over closer shots
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Curry in
yoshifan - February 13, 2012
good to see curry coming in
tolliver - February 13, 2012
we got a break there
mykelala01 - February 13, 2012
Dunk Udoh you freaking idiot!
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
Curry left ankle is ok
mykelala01 - February 13, 2012
Ugh, Udoh had some nice pump fakes, but couldn't finish
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
We can't close a game to save our lives
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
CURRRY
stayedupto - February 13, 2012
Ref you suck
mykelala01 - February 13, 2012
udoh is just so slow going up
tolliver - February 13, 2012
udohs gotta start dunking
richstyle - February 13, 2012
Wait, can Udoh dunk?
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
how do you miss that shot as an nba post player
dhp318 - February 13, 2012
if udoh doesn’t dribble there i think he can just go up for an easy one
AJC3317 - February 13, 2012
UDONT
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Udoh blocking at the rim!
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Udoh needs to bulk up to Dwight-like strength
He could destroy in the paint
hankmoody - February 13, 2012
thats like asking someone to get Ray Allen/Rip hamilton endurance
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
Look at Dwight his rookie and sophomore years…he looks nothing like he does now he’s massive now. obviously he worked on that, getting bigger and stronger, that’s what they do in the weight room right
hankmoody - February 13, 2012
Dwight is naturally stronger
also you forget Dwights first two years: 18 and 19 years old
Udoh’s first two years: 23 and 24 years old
you think by the time Udoh is 30 he’s going to be bulk like Dwight was at 26?
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
Good points
I forgot Udoh was much older when he came into the league
It would just be nice to see Udoh as a real dominant force in the paint (at least he hits 5-10 footers better than Dwight!)
hankmoody - February 13, 2012
yahoo goes
udoh misses 5 foot jumper
atta boy
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
Udoh block!
yoshifan - February 13, 2012
Rush and Udoh with starters not bad.
callahan - February 13, 2012
That was a huge missed 3 by Curry.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
Wouldn't Klay instead of Monta make more sense
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
Klay is doing good why sit him
mykelala01 - February 13, 2012
rookies must sit on the bench (the Brandon Belt rule)
hankmoody - February 13, 2012
LOLBELT
ayeyoJERM - February 13, 2012 via iPhone app
LOL Lee
hankmoody - February 13, 2012
Ugh, Lee
He can’t finish when guys are physical at the rim
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
da,m
tolliver - February 13, 2012
why didnt they put Monta on Nash earlier
he was penetrating so easily on Steph
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Uh Monta is not a good defender
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
Monta's doing a good job on Nash.
callahan - February 13, 2012
Yes
But there was no way to know that, Monta often plays matador defense as well
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
Did you see him just run right by Monta a couple times there?
cybermaldonado - February 13, 2012
Still doing a much better job than Steph did.
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
yeah Klay good d and shoot the lights out
mykelala01 - February 13, 2012
Curry miss, ugh
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Maybe the ankle
mykelala01 - February 13, 2012
possibly
but that miss hurts a lot at this point in the game
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
We seriously suck balls at half court offense
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
in the clutch*
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
7-0 run for the Suns
yoshifan - February 13, 2012
why isnt klay in the game ELLIS get outta here
richstyle - February 13, 2012
agree trade ellis
stayedupto - February 13, 2012
freaking curry
move the ball around. dammit
lakititi - February 13, 2012
or at least penetrate and get a foul
richstyle - February 13, 2012
He's doing the hero thing
Comes in after rolling ankle and hits the clutch shots…
bojangles408 - February 13, 2012
whos their worst free throw shooter?
JimPunkrockford - February 13, 2012
Gortat I assume
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
i would guess gortat
bigkino217 - February 13, 2012
We are actually winning due to offensive rebounding
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
Kind've a miracle if we win with Monta and Curry playing like this
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
Give the ball to Monta
He hasn’t had a shot in forever. I can’t remember the last time he actually had a possession. It’s not like Steph can shoot or create tonight either.
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
monta is 5-20 get outta here
richstyle - February 13, 2012
so?
curry is 3-10
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
u know what happened?
he got an assist
of course, it was a bit lucky and udoh really made the play, but see good things happened
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
Curry dribbled for 15 sec and shot long 2t shot.
farid - February 13, 2012
Monta taught him that move
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
good for you
cybermaldonado - February 13, 2012
Good for you too!
farid - February 13, 2012
sub in Beans, man
ILoveWarriorsGirls - February 13, 2012
Bring Klay in and Nate
mykelala01 - February 13, 2012
Nate and Klay make the run
mykelala01 - February 13, 2012
lol
every time i think we are going to win i realize its not so easy. Golden State Warriors Basketball TORTURE!
24k state fan since 87 - February 13, 2012
Dudley 3 MISS
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
Udoh first basket for Dubs in 5 minutes lol
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
Anything from Udoh offensively is found money.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
Udoh saved the play with a lefty hook!
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
UDOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Biggest shot of Udoh's career.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
That was lucky
cybermaldonado - February 13, 2012
bounced the Warriors way for once
hankmoody - February 13, 2012
UDOH'NT WANT NONE OF THAT
hankmoody - February 13, 2012
Udoh is clutch
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
UDOOOOOHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
lakititi - February 13, 2012
wow they really want that 3
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
UDOHS FIRST CLUTCH
richstyle - February 13, 2012
A monta TO right there would have been so fitting
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! LGFW!
bojangles408 - February 13, 2012
Udoh Grows Up
mykelala01 - February 13, 2012
turn this green
TooShort2Play - February 13, 2012
that was a broken play too
ayeyoJERM - February 13, 2012 via iPhone app
Udoh's the player of the game
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
DLee kept us in
Udoh closed it out
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
help defense sucked in by monta run to rim, gave udoh 1 on 1 in front of basket
kyzah - February 13, 2012
UDOHSANITY!
24k state fan since 87 - February 13, 2012
Udoh is amazing
yoshifan - February 13, 2012
ekpe udoh
is better than lebron james
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
UDOH!! He just about tackled Nate on the celebration.
skitlets - February 13, 2012
is that 3 wins in a row woooo
stayedupto - February 13, 2012
whats more important i think is 6-8
bojangles408 - February 13, 2012
Ekpe Booozer
mykelala01 - February 13, 2012
Curry got that rebound because of Udoh box out
IQofaWarrior - February 13, 2012
dont jinx us jim
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
nice board by curry
guess the ankle is ok. well see tomorrow.
lakititi - February 13, 2012
ankle look ok
mykelala01 - February 13, 2012
Too soon Jim!
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
3 in a row nowayzzz
richstyle - February 13, 2012
nash is pissed
JimPunkrockford - February 13, 2012
Wow
I’m not a big Jared Dudley fan, but he doesn’t miss two open 3 pointers in a row often
hankmoody - February 13, 2012
I thought that was in for sure
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
Wow, 3 in a row. This is the most I've been impressed by the Warriors in like...3 years.
Good for them, they deserve a coke.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
lol same here
richstyle - February 13, 2012
Not like they're playing tough competition or a road heavy one at that, but a win is a win is a win.
Now can we just go fire Riley and be over with it?
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
I read that as
they deserve coke. I agree on both counts
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
Whatever floats their boat, i'm not one to judge.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
this would be a good win, the suns usually have our number
tolliver - February 13, 2012
yeah
mykelala01 - February 13, 2012
Oh?
They do?
yoshifan - February 13, 2012
yeah our last win agains the Sun
is back in 2009
mykelala01 - February 13, 2012
+1
JimPunkrockford - February 13, 2012
i thought this was an auto lose coming in
just like houston. Those 2 teams ALWAYS beat us.
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
still losing to the Lakers is the worst
JimPunkrockford - February 13, 2012
3 in a row!
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
is alvin complaining about fouls?
tolliver - February 13, 2012
looks like he said to the ref
U FKED UP 2x
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
They won 6 of their last 8!
I think
bojangles408 - February 13, 2012
5 of 7
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
momentum
i think we could make this a five game streak
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
I dunno
Portland and OKC up next
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
okc again?
AJC3317 - February 13, 2012
lots of playoff teams upcoming
bigkino217 - February 13, 2012
Yep, the second half our schedule gets rough.
We’ve actually had a fairly easy schedule thus far.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
those are the teams we seem to beat
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
Portland not scary.
Playing really poorly on the road and of late
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
We get them at home again? wow.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
yessir
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
We always play Portland well at home. LMA is minced kitty feces whenever touching down in Oakland.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
portland we've proven we can beat before efficiently
and we’ve played our best against okc. play udoh and rush a little more against them why not
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
At home
These games are on the road
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
portland game is at home
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
You're right
OKC is on the road, Portland at home
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
at OKC? o.O
kinda daunting, no?
Portland is definitely beatable here at Oracle, though.
Brownie13 - February 13, 2012
3rd in the pacific cruical game
richstyle - February 13, 2012
Why did MJ take Udoh out after bucket? LOL
callahan - February 13, 2012
he doesnt know what hes doin, just tryin to look busy
richstyle - February 13, 2012
Needs some rest, I guess?
yoshifan - February 13, 2012
Gotta get smaller in crunch time duh
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
To get him some cheers and a breather
bojangles408 - February 13, 2012
The bench is so key
Who has a better bench than the warriors?
Oracle Junkie - February 13, 2012
OKC
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
OKC does have a damn good bench
Oracle Junkie - February 13, 2012
im inclined to say NOOOOOOBODY
but i dont know
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
haha same
TheSoundOfHockey - February 13, 2012
me too
ayeyoJERM - February 13, 2012 via iPhone app
Same
love me some Jimmy Harbaugh
hankmoody - February 13, 2012
...
Lots of teams.
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
uh KNICKS duh
richstyle - February 13, 2012
I know our bench is the worst in the league
yoshifan - February 13, 2012
Bulls, Thunder, Portland, Nuggets, Pacers, Sixers, Spurs
I’ll stop there if thats too many
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
theres no way the bulls have a better bench
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
Asik alone is a very very good bench player.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
Oh and I also forgot about Taj Gibson.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
cj has been going off too
bigkino217 - February 13, 2012
Yeah but I wasn't sure if he was starting or coming off the bench.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
he only starts when rose is out
bigkino217 - February 13, 2012
The thing about the bulls bench
Is there just expected to hold serve and shut down the other team. The warriors bench has been lighting up the scoreboard
Oracle Junkie - February 13, 2012
I view it as it doesn't matter whether you build leads through offense or defense.
As long as you’re getting leads or protecting them for your starters. How you get to that lead is a matter of who you got on the roster.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
I agree
what I was trying to say was the Bulls bench is very much designed for protecting a lead. I feel the warriors bench is designed for coming back and getting leads
Oracle Junkie - February 13, 2012
very funny
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
how exactly do you win without Derrick Rose then when accounts for 30-40% of offensive production?
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
They play great defense
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
and? you gotta score points
is boozer dropping 30 and 15 every other night? Deng dropping 25 a game?
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
Defense is half the game
They score enough
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
so are you saying they are better than the Warriors bench?
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
They are a little better, yes
Their defense is lockdown
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
i'd think they'd crush the Warrios bench
Cj
Brewer
Korver
Gibson
Asik
would win the rebound, defense, hustle battle every time. they would force warriors bench to take dumb shots and capitalize on turnovers and fastbreak because they would create many more opportunities
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
I disagree
Nate is a better player than CJ
Klay is better than Ronnie and at worse its a push
Rush is better than Korver
Gibson vs Udoh- Close to Gibson I guess but Udoh has been playing well
Asik is clearly better than Tyler, but is not an offensive threat.
So they may play defense but Rush would shut down there one half court offensive player in Korver. The Warriors would push pace and I think the Warriors bench Takes it.
Oracle Junkie - February 13, 2012
vs
nate
klay
rush
udoh
woah we dont have a backup c…
ours is still better
j-spliff415 - February 14, 2012
Right, not like the Bulls need to score 100 to win. They're doing just fine in the low 80's.
kenntoe - February 13, 2012
they run a PG system. that's why
ayeyoJERM - February 13, 2012 via iPhone app
so Cj Watson and John Lucas III >>>> Nate and CJ
is that what you sayin? because if any dude off the street that plays PG could come in and drop buckets then why do they even waste money on backup PG’s?
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
THREE IN A ROW BABYYYY!!!!
is it to soon to burst out?

hankmoody - February 13, 2012
man Suns shot horrendous from the 3
guess that zone did its job when the suns were gobbling up offensive rebounds left and right
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
David Lee is the original Jeremy Lin
The savior of Knicks :)
farid - February 13, 2012
I don't get it
Lee was on losing teams
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
But he was an All star in NY
mykelala01 - February 13, 2012
he still didn't save anything
24k state fan since 87 - February 13, 2012

Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012

mykelala01 - February 13, 2012
Curry trying to get that missed game time back
starbury_to_s-jaxci2000 - February 13, 2012
curry wants to injure the other ankle.

lakititi - February 13, 2012

mykelala01 - February 13, 2012
Honestly who the hell contests a desperation three up seven
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
who said curry cant jump
stayedupto - February 13, 2012
His ankle certainly thinks so
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012
I think they wanna cover the point spread -3
mykelala01 - February 13, 2012
You guys are mad at Steph for trying to play defense!? Hypocrites!
Joking.
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012

do they always play "Feelin' Good" after games?
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
or avicii - levels
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
AVICII
if only more of his tunes were popular…heard enough of Levels already!
hankmoody - February 13, 2012
yup
its funny how some people say levels is stolen from good feelin haha
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
Well
The chorus (if you will) of Levels is a sample from the late great Etta James’ song “Good Feelin”, but everything else is all Avicii
hankmoody - February 13, 2012
i see
learn something new everyday
Monta THE Boss - February 13, 2012
But definitely not stolen, no way
hankmoody - February 13, 2012

AJC3317 - February 13, 2012
I see Gus from Breaking Bad every time I see him
123707THIZZ - February 13, 2012
That would be crazy if that was his side job
He’s prob a gangster
bojangles408 - February 13, 2012
Portland is very beatable
tolliver - February 13, 2012
Holy crackers
I took a look at the Blazers schedule. They’re playing ANOTHER back-to-back-to-back this season, starting with the Wizards, then you guys, and then the Clippers.
yoshifan - February 13, 2012
They are
they’re playing not so well right now
doubleteapot - February 13, 2012
Portland is very beatable
tolliver - February 13, 2012
Portland think Warriors game is a must win
farid - February 13, 2012
It IS a must win for you guys
Blazers are gonna play a back-to-back-to-back this month. Check out their schedule.
yoshifan - February 13, 2012
OKC is a no chance
tolliver - February 13, 2012
yup
Badly Browned - February 13, 2012

lakititi - February 13, 2012

Lam1234 - February 13, 2012
Hooray
Doctor Kajita - February 13, 2012
11TH SEED BABY
minny, pheonix both losing
j-spliff415 - February 13, 2012
lets lose our pick and be done with that nightmare
tolliver - February 13, 2012
I gotta give this game to David Lee.
When our offense was stricken…he makes up by driving in and scoring.
bimmercirem3 - February 13, 2012
I guess he turned the tables around, huh?
yoshifan - February 13, 2012
Another reason to not give up a very good smart player in any upcoming trades
bojangles408 - February 13, 2012
image dlee and howard on the front court...
damn we would dominate.
bimmercirem3 - February 13, 2012
My interpretation of tonight's win:
hankmoody - February 13, 2012

bojangles408 - February 13, 2012

doubleteapot - February 13, 2012

hankmoody - February 13, 2012

Co.verting free th’os
polar - February 13, 2012 via mobile
You know what's happened during the 3 game win streak?
Klay Thompson has scored double digits in all 3…. Go Cougs! :P
james_WSU - February 13, 2012
Nice to see Monta with 7 rebounds on a very off shooting night.
skitlets - February 13, 2012
Klay for Trey!!
Monta'sCellphone - February 13, 2012
Two C's I would like to get for Ws would be Al Jefferson or Marcin Gortat. They would be good fits.
