Golden State Of Mind

Nah, I just need some moral support

It’s very very very very
very very very very
very very very very
very very very very
very very very very
very very very very
very very very very
hard to get motivated to “go to work” after losses like this.

Personally

I’ve gotten used to it, so I don’t feel the pain others do. Just another loss in another losing season that’s not bad enough to be in the bottom seven.

what are we slotted into right now

like 9 or 10?

Around 9th

Depends on how well Cleveland and Phoenix do

Also depends on how Milwaukee does

They are a sinking ship, could possible drop into the bottom 7

Well, the schedule only gets harder for the Warriors

I keep telling them

Hand down man down, we are a playoff team though.

i wish i could vote for like 4 choices

Voted Steph

Mostly because he was on fiyah tonight

You can't vote steph tonight!

His TO to, and subsequent foul of, Gay destroyed our positionFTP win…2 for 1 with about 35 seconds left

The TO is forgivable, the frustration foul…bonehead

Duby Dub Dubs - February 18, 2012 via mobile reply

I called a better play than Malone did, after Steph could not inbound.

I told Lee, get crazy with it drive the rock and get the block called on Memphis, the refs blew the call.

They also messed up not putting a few seconds back on the clock but hey no excuses we are going to get that 8th seed.

Also your flow coach here

Was smart to keep Udoh on the bench so we could let Allen get that board, I thought we’d end up in OT somehow and didn’t want him getting into foul trouble.

Your advice is always appreciated here coach

Stats time again!

Yeah, I decided to go check the NBA stats to see why the Grizz was rebounding so well. It turns out that they are 4th in getting offensive rebounds.

Damn, that’s crazy.

I'm not a stats coach

I go with the hot hand, I get into the flow of things. Grizz got lucky and they also had the refs in their pocket.

Oh, the refs...

gotta hate it when you’re playing on the road. Them officials will blow the whistle against you when they get a chance. (tries to not think about the Lakers @ Nuggets game earlier this month….)

I don't make excuses but when I do I blame the refs,

My players or the front office I mean I never saw Lin play don’t blame me.

Hey, you gotta trust your gut coach.

kenntoe - February 18, 2012 reply

Is that a fat joke ?

I might have to lose a few pounds and put myself in at the end of the game, I don’t trust Monta nor Steph to do things right.

dont_stop_believin' - February 18, 2012 reply

Yo J-Ridah,

When’s that bold trade supposed to go down? I’m losing hope that this team will finish bottom seven or in the playoffs.

What bold trade?

dont_stop_believin' - February 18, 2012 reply

J doesn’t know (or can’t share the specifics), but he said a bold trade would happen if the Warriors were below .500 in Feb or March.

if the warriors make a move

i would guess it would be around the trade deadline

Ah ok

Trust me its coming. Belee dat.

If Dorell Wright is still on this team in a month id be beyond surprised.

Should’ve traded him before the season started
He peaked under Keith Smart

Would you do Dorell+2nd round pick+Tyler for Pekovic? How yall feel about that?

I'd totally be down

Minny won’t do it though

might be able to get darko ;)

Im coo on Darko. Pek for DW and a 2nd rounder should get it done. Throw Tyler in if they insist but thats it.

I'd throw in another lol2nd round pick

But yeah no way Minny do it

Raiiny - February 18, 2012 reply

Are you sure Minny wont do it? Why not?

Pekovic is throwing up 20/10 left and right next to kevin love, I doubt they wanna go back to Darko as their only center. And they still have beasley and derrick williams at sf.. unless they think Dorell is a good idea at sg. I’d be extremely happy if we actually got a decent center like pek with just dorell+scraps and 2nd round picks though.

Raiiny - February 18, 2012 reply

This

Pek is killing it right now like he’s an all star and he’s a Khan pick (meaning I doubt Kahn will let him go)

GovernorStephCurry - February 19, 2012 reply

That's a steal...

no idea why they’d do that…

Go for it

We need to resign Pek but go for it

Kinda odd though since we could just try and sign him

Unless they want to lock up a center now then sign a SF like Batum (random FA name worth noting)

Ninny laughs you off the phone. Damn u Kahn you intelligent bastard!

kenntoe - February 19, 2012 reply

He will be get used to it

No changes are needed we are a playoff team.

How about Andris?

I’m still shocked he’s here

dubzfan - February 18, 2012 reply

Where else are we gonna get those two points from? We need beans

No but seriously, he’s so worthless right now

Duby Dub Dubs - February 19, 2012 via mobile reply

But could we even get for DW?

Doesn’t seem like he’d hold much value

dubzfan - February 18, 2012 reply

We could probably get Lin for him.

GovernorStephCurry - February 19, 2012 reply

We need to stop making ourselves mediocre.

We need to be bad this year.

or good

just not mediocre

GovernorStephCurry - February 19, 2012 reply

Exactly...this trade takes us from bad to mediocre...

Well the plus side is that we may be locking our center spot up pretty well

Hopefully he’s not just a creation of Rubio’s

Then all we’d need is a legit SF which we could either try and sign or make a big trade for (Curry or Monta for someone and have Klay slide in and start) one

I actually liked the concept of the Lee play

They don’t expect Lee to drive. Unfortunately, he got called for the foul, but that’s why you don’t want big men handling the ball. Maybe have him kick it out earlier or something.
Quick note – even if Gasol had not pushed him in the back, he would have barreled into Conley and Conley would have flopped. Not sure if a block or charge would have been called, but you really shouldn’t risk it.

Yep. Great surprise call. It could have happened with Curry, Monta, Nate...anyone,

the bad call!

We all love surprises around here sorry I ruined the playoff trip

surprise before the season but a promise is a promise buy your tickets now.

lol

blame the officials for that. Frankly, we have not gotten many calls going our way in close games. I guess it will level out by the end of the season, but it really hurt us tonight on that last play. I think if I were calling this game, I would have called it on the push by the defensive player, and let the foul line decide the winner.

I just looked at video of that play three times!

Lee definitely got hammered and pushed into Conley as he was trying to pull up for the kick out pass. The ref blew that call big time!

Regardless, Lee should have been shooting that shot, not passing

Forgiveable, but still…ambidextrous bro, take a right hand shot off the backboard there and it would have been unblockable

Duby Dub Dubs - February 18, 2012 via mobile reply

May have been set up as an option

Shoot or kick out. Only MJ knows for sure. The drive pulled the defense in, and opened up the shooters. Either way, he got hammered as the play developed.

bad refs ruin another basketball game...

as the saying goes, if I got a nickel every time this happened I would be a rich…

salary_cap - February 18, 2012 reply

Please

The calls went both ways. Or maybe you should try to ref an NBA game and not make a bad call.

the rate of abject failure

is unparalleled. I acknowledge that basketball, specifically the NBA with the most explosive athletes, is the hardest game to call. The failure is so epic, so consistent, it’s as if the three guys looking directly at it are thinking about where they are going to eat later in the night.

salary_cap - February 18, 2012 reply

Yeah, but a bad call with the game on the line,

does not give the ref the opportunity to even it up with another bad cal! :-)

So your next game is against the Clippers

Oh, man. Not these guys…. (cowers in a corner)

Greg Oden should retire

He is never getting on the court with those knees

no need to retire while a team is still willing

to pay you many millions of dollars to stick around!

salary_cap - February 18, 2012 reply

Oden would be an all star

On my team, I know how to get the most out of big men see.

Look at the season Biedrins is having if you don’t believe me.

I believe you coach

You say jump I say how high

I'm glad to have your support.

I think the Blazers uniforms make their players look bigger

It’s hard to tell how big someone is when they are wearing all black. It just blends with the background.

On the flip side, the Orlando unis make Dwight looks thinner because of the stripes.

THAT was an offensive foul???

haha, or a message from the refs that we didn’t deserve to win that game based on our 4th quarter collapse? No one rebounding on an obvious shot with 5 sec left? WTF?

I kept Uhod out for the simple fact

I expected the game to go to OT and didn’t want foul trouble, I’d already lost Biedrins for the game. It’s not my fault Rush and Wright just stood there and watched.

I gotta tell ya....

I am LMAO, my eyes are tearing, and literally falling out of my chair with your response!

on that key offensive rebound by Allen

D.Wright was subbed in defensively for Udoh after the clutch free throws put Fools’gold State up by one. Wright was staring at the shot attempt and not attending to his area of the paint, which is where Allen came for the rebound and tip in. Wright was the only one in position to box Allen out, but froze when the shot went up. A curious move, isn’t it, to put Wright in for Udoh ?

the.monk - February 18, 2012 reply

No excuses

We were keeping Udoh out of foul trouble.

I'm gonna key in on the warriors on DReb's.

Wright’s failure to block out looks horrible considering it was the game deciding bucket. I wonder if it’s a team wide deficiency or if our guys don’t come back to board. What I had thought is that we’re just too undersized every night and that our guys just aren’t naturally good rebounders. Lee can’t board all by himself, so the rest of the team has got to secure the ball first before tey can leak out.

kenntoe - February 19, 2012 reply

another bad part about that play by Wright

was that he wasn’t even really in a position to help. He just took a single step up.
this is such a fundamental error!
Even in high school, I was getting railed on by coach to “stay outta no-man’s land”

if you are going to help, you MUST commit all the way, just kinda waffling in between doesn’t do anything except leave your man open

Duby Dub Dubs - February 20, 2012 reply

We had 11 Offensive Rebounds to their 12. Lee got 7 of ours by his lonesome.

We did not get killed on the offensive glass as I initially thought.

No, but you have to look at the percentages

Warriors shot .427, while the Grizzlies shot .507. That means that there were a lot more offensive rebound opportunities for the Warriors than the Grizzlies, and yet the Grizz had more offensive rebounds.

Just a tip :)

How many shots did they take vs us?

You have to look at missed shots.

We missed 47 shots and had 11 offensive rebounds.
They missed 36 shots and had 12 offensive rebounds

11/47=23.4% This means we offensive rebounded 23.4% of our own misses
12/36 = 33.3%. This means they offensive rebounded 33.3% of their own misses.

I asked you how many shots they took vs. ours precisely for that reason, as you quoted the percentages only in your first response..

I had not looked at the shot opportunities (or the percentages). You realize that if we had shot less than they did, the missed shots( and, rebound opportunity) would be different for the same percentages. Thanks for the tip.

What jumped at me in my intial look at the offensive rebounds we got vs theirs,

was that we did not killed as we had 11 offensive rebounds to get a second chance to score, vs. their 12 offensive rebound possessions to score. In that sense, we did not get killed. Now, if we talk about offensive rebound opportunity, clearly, with the number of shots taken, they had a higher offensive rebound efficiency than we had.

This FO cannot analyze "risk" well

They said it would be “risky” to amnesty Biedrins because that would leave them with no center on the roster… well Biedrins is doing everything in his power to prove them wrong

lol

Well, he does occupy that space for a couple of minutes each game at least, so, technically, there is a center there. :-)

I am disappointed Klay has not done well

in the past 2 games in terms of having a big shooting night. Wonder what is up with him. Could have used some 3s tonight from him in a big way.

On a positive note, I did like how the Warriors climbed back in the game. It was a nice feeling to see the other coach upset that his team had blown the huge lead and let the other team back in it, then the usual shoe on the other foot. I do have to say I enjoyed that, although the out come of the game severely mitigated my happiness at that role reversal.

picknpop - February 18, 2012 reply

Three point shooters can be very streaky.

If he is going to be a good one, he will find his stride again. Hard to tell, because he is a rookie. They can shoot crappy one night, and go on a tear the next; or, even from one half to the next. That is why guys like Rush and Reggie (last year), are so impressive. To come in cold, sometimes being used very erratically, and deliver at the clip that these guys do, is really awesome.

hmmm, good point!

picknpop - February 18, 2012 reply

Also, Klay probably needs time to adjust to the NBA grind

One the attempted game winner a few games back and tonight with about 2 min left ...

… we saw a clumsy Monta-to-Lee connection. They run a P&R, or simply slide past each other on motion, but Monta is delivering the ball late and a little bit behind Lee, and the result kills the play’s momentum.

Not a huge deal, but one of those little things that adds up over the course of the season. They need to run about a 1000 PnR drills to get the timing of that pass down right.

Ronaldinho - February 18, 2012 reply

Do you think the passes may be late because Monta’s looking to shoot first? And passes when there’s no shot?

123707THIZZ - February 19, 2012 reply

On another note, I still feel terrible for Jeremy Tyler

I can’t imagine his disappointment that he feels right now, and every loss must reinforce his feeling of making a huge mistake in his life with not going to school. I think he would be in such a different position now rather than a barely there rookie who hardly gets to play and when he does, makes a lot of errors.

It can be hard to live with that regret, although I know I am speculating since I don’t know him. It just seems to go along with the Warriors almost there/if only if/short term over long term framework of operating.

I hope that he can improve and play more.

Great stuff!

Thank you, and keep it up.

I'll do my best!

If you look at the David Lee drive at the end of the game

I don’t think it was a play called for David Lee. I think that he saw the overplay and tried to create by himself. Curry and Rush were in the same spot on the floor, meaning that floor spacing was not important on the play, meaning that they did not expect Lee to drive and pass to the perimeter. Lee was pushed (or body blocked) into Conley by Gasol, but he was also out of control and would have crashed into Conley anyways, forcing the refs to make a call. I think the original play was a Monta iso or something similar, with David Lee handing off the ball to Monta.

dont_stop_believin' - February 19, 2012 reply

After re-watching that play, the call bothers me more because Lee wasn’t even driving into Conley. All the contact was drawn by Gasol and Conley squeezing the path he was trying to take. Really should have been a defensive foul or a no call.

All in all, it really doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things.

Gasol mostly uses his body to block off Lee's angle and forces him into Conley

Lee is trying to avoid the charge, as you can see

He gets hammered on his left back shoulder, and

gets pushed into Conley…Definitely a foul on Memphis. I do not know where the ref was standing, but with the game on the line, it was a very bad call.

wow

that’s like…a double-blocking foul

Duby Dub Dubs - February 20, 2012 reply

Norwitzki VS Lin in NY is meeting all expectations going into the 4th!

Good god, Lin can hit that 3 when it counts

this one is more impressive than other games IMO

dallas has some good defenders

apparently lin loves playing on national tv lol

I think he loves pressure

he gets more focused at crunch time. And yeah, I guess Jeremy Lin is for real, at least his mindset is definitely for real, after passing the Lakers and Mavericks test. He needs backup help or he’s going to wear down from playing all these minutes.

baron is due back tomorrow

may not be good anymore, but should be able to provide lin at least around 15 mins of rest

I assume his point guard mind is still good

Age has probably taken away some of his explosiveness, and maybe a little of his strength. But if he can stick to his point guard duties of poking at the defense and move the ball to the open player or the weak side of the defense, he should be able to help give Jeremy Lin some rest and not hurt the Knicks chances at winning the game.

Yep

The key for the Knicks will be keeping Baron Davis involved in the game because he likes to mentally check out of games

Like Stephen Jackson, Jeremy Lin makes love to pressure.

kenntoe - February 19, 2012 reply

He is really a clutch player and turns it on in the 4th.

As IQ points out in the dicsussion, above, his shot is for real, and, apparently, Lin is for real. This is now Lin’s team. Davis will help, as will Melo, and JR, but the Knicks will go as far as Lin can carry them.

Unlike the Warriors, Jeremy Lin doesn't have one night stands with pressure

Lawrence9ers - February 19, 2012 reply

Lin is an NBA player definitley

5.4 TOs per36 though, ouch. 8.7 assists per 36 though.

then an 8-1 team beat the lakers and dallas. let’s not fool ourselves, the east is still really bad.

off the top of my head the last two years:

have all went West to East while aside from Griffin and Durant, the east got Rose, Wall, Irving and all the other top picks have went to the east except for those two injury prone bigs

It's weird how everyone thought the Mavs getting Lamar was a steal

Duby Dub Dubs - February 20, 2012 reply

Those national announcers sure like Lin a lot

I bet it pisses of fans of the other team though

Would anyone have imagined a year ago when he was here,

that Jeremy Lin, our practically walk-on rookie, would be having the titanic impact he is having on the NBA and international b-ball today? The story is really huge. National and international media can’t get enough of it. National announcers would be fools not jump on it. The underdog has always held a special pIace in the heart of Americans. I think fans are mature on other teams, understand it, and love it. Our fans are pulling for him too, but, there is a sour taste because of what might have been if we had kept him.

In Toronto, when the Knicks were playing,

the Toronto fans were cheering him on! They have not been to too many cities since he went on this tear, but the phenomenon is repeated everywhere he goes!

The last Ivy League player for the Knicks, was Bill Bradley.

Lin has taken NY by a storm. Braldley was coming off the bench most of his career, and was a high IQ player. He went on to become a US Senator and had a minor Presidential campaign. If Lin has a normal bball career, NY, or, even Mass, has a way of identifying with its sports heroes. Given Lin’s personal attributes of intelligence, humbleness, and down-to-earth Christian approachability, his future is very bright in the public domain.

Yale grad Chris Dudley played for the Knicks in the late 90's

Ray of Lite - February 19, 2012 reply

You are right, I forgot about his stint with the Knicks.

He was well-traveled if I remember correctly. Five or six years, here, I think. Interestingly, both, he and Bradley, went into politics afterwards. (Bradley in NJ, and, Dudley out in Oregon).

Potential - February 19, 2012 reply

You know what would suck?

As if we didn’t already suck. But what would suck is if we tanked enough to get the #7, #6, or #5 lotto spot, and then 1, 2, or 3 teams below us won the ping pong balls, kicking us to the #8 drafting spot, which would mean the Jazz would get it. That would mean that all that tanking would have gotten us NOTIHNG. And it would mean that the basketball gods see us Warriors fans as the butt of cruel jokes.

NoExcusesJackson - February 19, 2012 reply

No excuses for us not to be a playoff team and win the lottery.

I've been looking at the ping pong balls. Here's what I've come up with:

These six teams are going to be the bottom six teams in the NBA: Charlotte, Washington, Toronto, New Orleans, New Jersey, Sacramento

So, if the Warriors will be fighting these teams for the 7th seed: Detroit, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Phoenix.

Are the Warriors less talented than these teams? I don’t think so. They are more talented than Detroit and Cleveland for sure. Phoenix is a wild card depending on if they trade Nash. Milwaukee was sort of good, but without Bogut they are sinking fast.

This means that the Warriors are not going to be a bottom seven team: probably 9 or 10 in the end. Even if they go on a massive losing streak, at least one of these teams is guaranteed to go on a massive losing streak as well. The Warriors will not get a bottom seven pick. We’ll just have to hope the ping pong balls fall in the Warriors’ favor.

Skeptic con Urquell - February 19, 2012 reply

what would suck is if we tanked enough to get the #7, #6, or #5, and then 1, 2, or 3 teams below us won the ping pong balls

Finishing #7 would be kinda risky: there’d be a 25% chance of getting leapfrogged and falling to #8.

Finishing #6 would be far less so: 4.1%.

At #5 the odds drop to 0.4%. Four shots in 1,000. Even as a semi-superstitious dude and a Warriors fan, I wouldn’t worry about that scenario coming to pass.

Sleepy Freud - February 20, 2012 reply

at least one of these teams is guaranteed to go on a massive losing streak as well.

there are no guarantees in tanking.we do our best at losing and let the chips fall where they may.

Nah, the Warriors won't trade their players before the trade deadline in March

Players don’t tank. We’re too good a team to be in the bottom seven. So any tank talk is silly.

Skeptic con Urquell - February 19, 2012 reply

We’re too good a team to be in the bottom seven.

if we were really good we could figure out how to be in the bottom one.

The key to tanking is not asking the players to tank

All players are naturally competitive. You want the front office to gut the roster so it isn’t good enough to win most NBA games. But this front office will not do that.

Really happy with the Lacob regime

Absolutely no adjustment period needed for fans. Just business as usual from the Cohan era.

Ignoring glaring obvious flaws in a roster, not having the ball to shake it up, regardless of the result. Holding out mediocre assets as if they’ll all appreciate into facebook ipo.

I’ve heard that it is an 8 player draft so we’ll probably hand someone good to utah.
I’m hoping the Kings come out of it with a keeper, they need a couple more young pieces of their puzzle.

Positive from the game:

Looks like Curry may be finally becoming a better PG. He’s been getting more assists now.
