Warriors (7-12) vs Jazz (12-8)

TV: CSN Bay Area / Radio: KNBR 680

Tip-Off: 7:30pm

Blog Buddy: SLC Dunk

The 7-12 Golden State Warriors... well it could be worse. If we could get our wins consistent with a small 2-3 game win streak that would put a brief smile on any Warrior fans face considering our record. Hey, a win's a win and with the 12-8 Jazz coming to town - that's gonna be a challenge. I've always believed "It ain't over until the end of the 4th quarter has our score on top." Who am I kidding, this season we've seen great leads within the first 3 quarters get blown out in the 4th! After our victory over the Kings this past Tuesday, there is some hope, we can pull a W with solid contribution from everyone.

Keys to victory/notes:

Brandon Rush scored 15 points in the 4th quarter vs. the Kings on Tuesday. Expect to see him contribute more in the last quarter.

Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry are gonna run the floor. (hopefully) Predicting a high scoring game from both teams.

Utah is coming to Golden State after getting worked by Blake Griffin and the Clippers for a loss... Dubs gotta use that as leverage with a tired Jazz playing back to back games.

Solid defense + a great shooting night = A Warrior Victory.


Predictions:

Final score: Knowing the Warriors, we'll blow a huge lead and win by 3!

Monta and Udoh for Favors and Harris?
They say no

They got Burks already and love Favors

yea

favors has some serious potential that shows every now and then. they’re set for a future… give it two years when jefferson is coming off the books and they can use milsap as serious trade bait…

that kanter/favors duo will be scary

I'm guessing most of you are not 90s Hip-Hop(aka golden age hip-hop) aficianados

Tribe is one of my all-time fave hip-hop groups from the 90s. Big ups to tony.psd for payign homage to Tribe!!! Wooo haa!
Looks like Utah will be without both point guards. Harris and Watson both left yesterday’s game early. Advantage: Dubs? We’ll see.

I'm with you

no option for “Electric Relaxation”?!
travesty

I'm all about that

Bonita Applebum

Jamal Tinsley

is gunna go off!

Looks like Utah will be without both point guards. Harris and Watson both left yesterday’s game early. Advantage: Dubs? We’ll see.

I’d probably rather have them play Harris, the guy has been just garbage lately.

apparently the pacers

can, in fact, kick it. yes, they can.
still mad about that

Can We Kick It (and tank enough for that top 7 pick)?

YES WE CAN

Yes you can!

But the refs won’t call it, and then you lose. Oh wait, that’s the point.

Yeah stuff you Utah!!!

Beat us if you want, we’ll take ya pick this year!! GO WARRIORS!

man, anybody see the Jazz game last night? This is going to be a tough one for our guys to win

my only hope is that Hayward doesn’t go off again, that was a little depressing last time.

maybe theyre tired?

Griffin with the game winning flop

That graphic

is fire!!!

Udoh will log near 30 minutes on Al JEff

Biedrins will continue building a case to be amnestied.

Maybe we can rescind biedrins contract for unprofessional behavior. The way he plays on the court is downright unprofessional at times.

Biedrins 20/15 tonight

WHAT? WHAT? GO WARRIORS! Al Jeff 2 points 1 rebound 7 fouls lehhgo WARRIORS!

10/10 would be a season breakout for Beans
10/10 would be a season breakout for Beans
<5/5=>( less than 5 fouls and 5 or more freethrow attempts) would be epic

I’ve always believed “It ain’t over until the end of the 4th quarter has our score on top.”

Yeah but, what if the two scores are the same?

can't remember the last time...

The Jazz employed a total of 2 white guys if you count Enes Kanter as white…..pretty strange, but Gordan Hayward is really really really white so prob evens out to teams of the past.

2 white guys

reminds me that an AK47 interview says he wants to return to the NBA and prefers utah again. Would he be worth the Dubs trouble to try and attract?

me i prefer Hot Sex personally

in my room, the shower, car, or out in public places(rimshot)

Warriors should have a chance since Utah is tired
overrated factor in a back to back
Warriors have had an easy schedule thus far

Anyone see our schedule in March and April? We basically have tons of back to backs, four games in five nights, and a lot of it is on the road.

Only downside to relying on NBA League Pass Mobile is always stuck with the home team feed
Wait this is a home game, why am I stuck with the Utah feed?

shakes fist

So can the Warriors make it two in a row?
Interesting point during the pregame show

Maybe Monta’s hurt. He hasn’t been the same since he banged knees in Detroit.

Let's sit him and Curry for the season then
Monta's baby momma is bleh
damn it firstrow is down
Once again, Biedrins post to start the game
Let's stop doing those

It didn’t work last game

it did work last game

which is why we shouldn’t have stopped going to it

The only reason i can think of

is that MJ wants to rebuild Biedrins confidence one qtr at a time

No what worked

Was understanding that Beans isn’t playing the 4th anyways and playing him as many minutes before fouling out

whatever you want to call it

they called plays for him and he produced

Biedrins another post play called

At least he looked AGGRESSIVE doing it, not scared

i dont mind them attacking Jefferson

need to make him work on D

Get that trade value up!

Then sit him and trade him

Biedrins GREAT offensive rebound tap
Beansy with the Hustle
Did that commentator just say

Golden State not “Deep down low”?…. 0.o

yeah I heard that
Arena looks empty

for a friday is it raining in the Bay? or traffic?

friday?
Oh yeah I lost track

Im use to watching at TNT and I dont have work tomorrow

DWright finished a driving lefty layup!

First time he’s done that?

I don't understand saying DWrights a good Defensive player
hes less bad than most of the other warriors
at least last year he was
Sloppy

either on Curry’s pass or Monta’s laziness

Awful defense by Dorell Wrong

He didn’t see his defender cutting, got caught ball watching

Curry, niiiiice pass
We're getting diced up by inside cutters/backdoors/whatever you call it
Hayward is killing us, wtf
He is really good

as of late

That's just bad defense by our guards
I remember when people were compaing Curry to Nash

He’s more like Kevin Martin

no he's not

he doesn’t get to the line at all

Monta nice drive to the rim
wtf was that Dorell?
hayward for the all star game
We need some Kwame Brown presence to clog the lane
Biedrins ANOTHER nice offensive rebound tap
Nice to see Beans active on the boards
Lee knows how to Flop
He needs to

because he doesn’t block shots

Is Devin HArris injured?
Yes

Hamstring

Uh ok and bulldog too right

Earl Watson and no Bell damn we need to win these game

I'm a little confused why Curry was shading to the right on that Monta postup

Why wouldn’t he go to the left so that Monta can kick it to him?

Oh, I think I know why

he’s waiting for Monta to drive into the middle of the paint and vacuum in defenders

Curry really needs to rest that ankle

He can’t penetrate as well

Lee is playing bad today
Geez, I bet we could get better offense from Udoh than Lee right now
we could get better offense from 1 armed kwame

beans scared with the ball that time

you mean when the defenders came, right?

looked like he had a lane right to the rim, instead he tried to quickly pass it to lee

ok, good

i’m thinking of the same thing you are

Biedrins decent defense on Jefferson there
is there any streams???
i know firstrow is down
ya i heard like 17 sites got shut down
Wow Monta is shooting 23% from three
Jazz play a tough game last night

their bench is thin. And get Jamal Tinsley on the point.

Curry just go up with it
hayward unstoppable baby
Steph has to really learn how to make decisions

Spend all offseason learning how to pass like CP3

monta 23 percent lmao

he looks tired tonight to

Blake made the Power Forward

start on all star game

Love should have made it

but whatever, the coaches will vote him in

no K Love?
Yup Im sure he gonna be one of the reserve
wouldn't that be funny if Tim Duncan got the sympathy vote
if this happens, I will never ever respect the all star game again
Nice defense at the rim!
Two nice Curry passes
HAYWARD!!

hahaha

you can't drive through hayward!
Suddenly, we have some fast break and some energy
nice follow by dorell
Biedrins nice defense, and no foul!

beans has been great on d tonight

Man Hayward

doing anything for the Jazz

Monta is heating up
maybe montaigh's tired of getting torched by hayward
DLEE: hahaha i'll take it
Lee cleaning up after DWright's FAILED pump fake
Why did Wright even shoot that
you know it's a warriors broadcast when:

fitz says “I’ve never seen (opposing player) play that well!”

Today, it's a geriatric point guard!
tomorrow, journeyman power forward triple double
Curry's two for ones are horrible
Biedrins hustling to try to get that rebound too
hope he keeps that energy level
Good defense to finish the qtr
But we need to be up by 10 by now

feels like it. Besides Hayward nobody is scoring on the Jazz

beans with 8 rebounds LEGIT
Was there ever any doubt?
Rush hour 3 does not know how to spell MISS
U CANT STOP RUSH

rush missed the wide open one

isnt that always how it goes for the warriors lol
Is B Rush

the leading 3pt player in the NBA? Jazz color guy said it

Tyler, still need to work on his offense

Why do they always come back late on TV at the start of the 2nd quarter?

tyler with the great spin but needs to finish
Udoh with a midrange
udoh's got RAAAAANGE
Klay nice drive and inside pass
Udoh is a midrange shooter!
JUST LIKE THEY DREW IT UP
These fouls are kinda weak
wow that was nice
lol Nate what u doin lil man
Bench = run and gun

Starters = walk and, um, pray

lol walk and pray
Klay loves screens
klay, so much money lately
Yeah, we are getting crappy foul calls
well, they're WEAK foul calls
Imagine if Klay

play for Celtics and he is off the bench behind Ray Allen

nate grand larceny
nate got some handles
Klay has more skills than just shooting

some nice drive and passes

globe trotter status
Nate schooling the rookie
Then should put Kanter's age in quotes; "19"
Barnett lives in Zurich?!?!!

/mindblown

What a reaching rebound by Udoh

I didn’t know Enes is from Switzerland. Thought he was Turkish born and bred.

Lee playin garbage
Nate having a bad shooting night
too short
beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch
Seems about a normal shooting night really
Are you serious!?
yuck yuck yuck
I Love A Tribe Called Quest!
when are we gonna see a nate dunk?
Warriors look like comes out from

a back to back game

why is nate still in

ball don't lie
damn, what a lucky shot
HOLY MOTHER OF

i don’t even

Kanter has good hands

That’s about it, though

i like sick barnett

pulling no punches

One pass we cannot make

the dump down

Killer Curry move
Jamal Tinsley

the D LEaguer

Curry and Monta nice on the fast break
Why does Steph get winded so easily now

He used to have a much deeper motor

Wow Monta

like CP3 reverse last night

Ugh, they know how to defend Monta
Man why is Jamal tinsley scoring against us
tinsley/hayward, best backcourt in the league
Why we did not draft

Hayward last year

We always wanted Monroe

but Hayward is the 9th pick

Lee ugly ugly ugly
BEANS BEASTING
Lee's been so bad
What the hell play was that?
Durrrrrell is awful too
Wide open Curry 3? Count it
thank you steph
Gotta love what Biedrins is doing tonight so far
this might be andris' best game of the year
rush>wright
Brandon Rush is the best player on our roster
max contract time
yeah, let's lock him up long term
Monta + Rush is worth a top 5 pick
sign and trade for dwight howard?
F Howard

We have the capacity to keep Steph and get 2 1st round buys if we trade Rush and Monta to Washington or Nola. That’s the healthy medium between blowing up the roster and rebuilding from a core, IMHO

Make him our franchise player
the offense wants to play today
Whoa, we got schooled there
Lee has had some good games for us

This is not one of them, not even close

I'd rather see Tyler out there playing that badly
Curry, wow, he recovered from the failed pum fake and swishes that
steph curry clutch city
Wow Tinsley is schooling us

we should send Monta Curry to D league

Send them to Dakota and let them stay there for 1 season
biedrins with the rare halftime interview!
I can understand Beans' accent better than Monta's
Wow that was cold as ice
I didn't even know Tinsley was still in the league
Im still mad

Steph Curry went and got married. I thought we were meant to be!! NOT FAIR!

:P

at least currys firing up
Oh, i forgot to mention this

I noticed that Biedrins adjusts his elbow or arm pads a lot. Why does he wear them?

hey gsom is back online
Man that 7th pick seems so far away now LOL
Nice to see us so active on the boards

and outhustling the Jazz

LOL

Jamaal Tinsley went crazy tonight. Turns out old infirm players can still play in the NBA

Ellis was on fire tonight

Unfortunately that meant that he would play almost 40 minutes

Steph played 38 minutes too

He had a couple nice passes. I guess Mark Jackson wants to go with the hot hands or something. Nate was 0-5 from the field so I guess that’s understandable

Even the Barron appeared in this game

2 fouls in only 3 minutes! What a player!

Klay had to sit on the bench today because Ellis was hot
Even if Udoh can't get defensive boards

he can crash the offensive boards to get rebounds like today

What happened to SBNation??
I don't know why you're asking us, we don't know anything

why don’t you email SB Nation

No need to be a douche about it
No need to hurl insults

I was just saying that if you wanted to know you could email site instead of posting the question on a basketball blog

They were cyber attacked by Bleacher Report
5 people on the Inside NBA show,

need to bump off shaq

Udoh and the B. Davis dunk from 2007

Udoh had his best block last night of his career. Glad to see him playing more and living up to his potential.
What’s up with espn? They’ve been showing the LeBron dunk and the Griffin dunk but they seem to forget Barron Davis posterizing AK47 in our “We Believe” run.
Best look is from Matt Barnes, it’s like he can’t believe B. Dizzle dunked!!!!
