Golden State Of Mind

I haven't watched the Kings too much

but from the Warriors game I feel like they are a DUMB team. So many dumb and unforced turnovers. Tyreke was crazy though

But remember

the real Warrior killer is back. Marcus Thorton so Warriors need to watch out. Not to be over confident coming to this game.

Sac looks tough on the boards vs. GS

they’re actually one of the worst rebounding teams in the league, but still able dominate the very worst, GS. Getting a big edge in turnovers is obviously one remedy, along with offensive efficiency of course. Getting the open court offense in gear as it was for some of the UT game would increase that efficiency, and a means to counter a team focused on crashing the off. boards.

I've been noticing some people talking about this

So I thought I would ask: Who thinks Monta should be an All Star?

lol...You sure pick your spots. Monta is always our all star candidate; unfortunately, the Curry injury, playing PG/SG, and a few missing pieces have affected his output this year.

I could also make a case for Dave Lee...

I would say Lee is our all-star canidate this near.

Curry is the best player on the team, but he has been not 100%. Monta is having an off year it seems.

I would also say that Curry is a perinial all-star

if he stays healthy and we trade Ellis. Of course we have to find a way to replace what Ellis brings just in a different position.

high volume scoring is the easiest thing to replace on a roster

defense, high basketball iq, court vision, space creators, and dominant post presences are not

minor correction

high volume inefficient scoring is the easiest thing to replace on a roster

dude do you know what efficiency is?

kobe has been at or above average efficiency in every single year of his career

youre right

i should have added that. the sad thing is that most high volume scoring IS inefficient, so its slightly implied

j-spliff415 - February 5, 2012 reply

Yeah that is why I think Ellis isn't gone already

the Warriors want something for him other than another long bloated contract and I don’t think the rest of the league wants Ellis. If the Warriors were a winning team a potential Ellis trade would be headlining the NBA.

I honestly believe that the only reason the Warriors have not traded Ellis, is because they cannot get much of anything for him. Its sad, he will probably up his value tremendously if he goes to a winning team and plays off the ball again. I think he would be a good fit in Chicago.

At least you are honest about your beliefs Brutus, but you really miss the mark on Monta.

I can’t wait till Monta and Curry start putting up 50 points every night in a devastating 1-2 punch backcourt of a playoff team!

Monta is not having an off year. Monta had no Curry for 10 out of the 20 games this season, and was playing 40 minutes while distribting, scoring, and trying to play d. That is why his output suffered.

If Steph stays healthy, look for Monta’s game to quickly go through the stratosphere again!

Forwards are way too deep in the Western Conference

maybe if he was in the Eastern Conference he’d have a way better chance.

lameallenmark - February 4, 2012 reply

?

aldridge, jefferson/milsap (who udoh owned), dirk, gasol, love and durant…..

who else?

howard, james, boozer, bosh, anthony, garnett (still a defensive stopper in my book), iggy,

i’d say its pretty even on both sides

+ and Lee has better numbers than 80% of them!

i wouldnt go that far

aldridge is an MVP candidate this year… he’s having a dwight howard effect in Portland in the sense that they wouldnt be considered scary without him putting the entire team on his back. (think about it, they lost both Roy and Oden in the same year, and he picked up all the pieces)

gasol is gasol

love is a top three player in the league right now (james, love, kobe)

dirks a champion

in the east: bosh is having an career year and garnett is still as marketable as ever. lee doesnt really have a shot unless he plays for a big market, well known team

Yep, I over stated...:-)

Love is not top 3

If love was so good they would make the playoffs…period. There is some talent on the Minnesota squad, if he cannot make it a winner then talk of him being a top 5 player is ridiculous. If Dwight Howard is on your team, you are making the playoffs. If Lebron or Wade is on your team and healthy you are making the playoffs.
If Love being on your team cannot guarantee playoffs, then him being top 5 is useless. The best player contributes to wins.
BTW Anybody arguing Lee is an Allstar when we are at best a marginally better team with him on the floor is asinine.

pericles31081 - February 4, 2012 reply

howards a center

in other news, i’m stupid

lol..as I said earlier, I could make the case for Lee...

you'd lose

this

Maybe, but I could still make a good case for him, as stated.

a good case has a chance of winning

your case doesn’t have that, at all

why? because you’re going to point at his point and rebound totals, his “leadership” and his hustle.

how could I know this? because it’s all he has going for him.

The other guys play defense. The other guys play next to players who actually rebound. The other guys efficiency is just as good or better in most cases. The other guys’ teams are winning. SOME of the other guys are the best players on their team.

You continually cite how Lee playing with no one in the front-court means his numbers aren’t as great as they could be. Well, imagine if he played next to Andrew Bynum, as Pau Gasol does. Andrew Bynum rebounds the ball 12 times a game. Andris Biedrins does it 5. That’s a difference of 7. Obviously, having Bynum would improve our team rebounding, but at some point it cuts into Lee’s personal rebounding totals. But hey, let’s not stop there. Bynum scores 17 points per game. Andris scores 3. That’s a difference of 14. Again, having Bynum would improve our team offense, but not by 14 points. The same principle the Lakers see in action every night also applies to teams like Utah that Some of his scoring would again cut into Lee’s totals, more-so than anyone else on the team because he plays down low. So please, enough of the Lee’s numbers would go up with more help argument. It’s just not true.

He’s doesn’t belong more than any of these players:

Gasol
Aldridge
Love
Griffin
Dirk

That already pretty much fills up the PF position. But let’s go further.

Since you have to make arguments for him to belong more than Millsap and Duncan, you’ve got your work cut out for you to even get him to 6th. Typically, you only see 3 or 4 PFs on an All-Star team. He doesn’t belong, and he has no chance of making it. Monta belongs more than him, and he shouldn’t be there either. The biggest thing? All the players here play for teams with better records than ours, and the only one not in the playoffs as of now has even better individual numbers.

couldn't have put it better myself. rec'd

You are right, you couldn't have!

Thanks, for making the case for him!

I have not made the case, yet, and...I could shoot everything you wrote full of holes! :-)

Let me give you a clue, who said anything of him making it as a starter!

By the way, don’t be surprised if he does, if he keeps playing this way….

you're right

nobody said anything about him being a starter

because I’ve already showed you how he wouldn’t even make it somebody go hurt.

besides, you do know that the starters were announced already…? right?

Were they?

yup

do it then...

i promise you, you’ll either get ripped or laughed at

not because people don’t like you or anything, but just because even fans of this team could not allow themselves to be so deceived by Lee’s numbers. you’ll get J-Ridah’s support, though. I think

I do not write in here to get anyone's support, and take nothing personal. My thoughts are out there for anyone to take a crack at. I guess making the case for Lee's All Star candidacy is a slam dunk if he is selected, wouldn't you say?

still no

i’d be happy he made it, but he still wouldn’t have deserved it

and I thought that I clearly just took a crack at your thoughts. you replied and said nothing to refute anything I said

You responded based on a lot of supposition of what my case for Lee would be. Heck, if the entire NBA world does not agree with you, you are already predisposed to say he does not deserve it!

So why make the case when you are so obviously biased against Lee?

Let me give you another clue: He could be my candidate based on leadership alone!

Of course, having premier double-double numbers would also add some weight!

I’m biased against Lee? OK

Talk about assumptions

and leadership, huh? He’s “led” us to an 8-12 record lol

lee deserves to be an all-star

he’s not my favorite, but numbers don’t lie

numbers don’t lie

lol not ever in the history of man

numbers don’t lie

but you gotta understand their language

Are there any others besides binary?

Well using stats to express how David Lee is a better player than any of the actually deserving All-Star candidates at his position…is a clear and blatant lie.

I have not used anything, yet!

I simply stated I could make the case for him….

I've seen you make the case for him elsewhere.

I don’t need to see it here.

Not so. I have never made any statement, till today, on whether, or, not, Lee could be an all star candidate from this team!

lol whatever.

the all-star game isnt about understanding the language of numbers

the average fan who votes for players does not have the depth of understanding of stats that float around GSOM.

the players are picked for two main reasons: Points and marketability.

perfect example: blake griffin should not be starting. not even close. that should have been a well debated battle between aldridge an love.

j-spliff415 - February 5, 2012 reply

the average fan’s impact on who makes the all-star game is over. voting is done. starters are decided. now it’s going to be the coaches and the NBA front-office that decide.

besides, you said DESERVES to be. not that the average fan thinks he should be. whether he makes it or not, for whatever reason, he does not DESERVE to be there.

and while the average fan doesn’t have a great knowledge of the meaning of stats, they do have an understanding of team record. it’s unlikely that a team with a losing record gets a player to start in the all-star game.

Brownie13 - February 5, 2012 reply

Here is the thing about Lee, he probably would be our all-star if we were performing well

overall, but he hasn’t led to victories. For a player on a bad team to make the all-star game they have to be putting up absolutely huge numbers, even then people question any player that puts up good numbers on a bad team.

He has led us to whatever victories we have....:-)

If we establish any semblance of inside presence, Curry and Monta will get better shots, and all will be OK.

Curry is shooting just fine this year, he needs to get healthy so he can penetrate better.

I was commenting on what needs to happen in tonight's game if Curry/Monta are to shoot better than last time.

As far as his overall shooting, Curry is below .400 (.397) in 3pt shooting for the first time since he came to the NBA (.442 last year), and he is shooting .800 from the FT line which is below his career .900. He is shooting the same as last year from the 2PT range. I happen to think that Steph is one heck of a ball player, and I hope he stays healthy that he may truly develop into a perennial all star candidate.

The thing is, he is going to the line a little less and relying on jumpshots

He is passing better. Also .397 is always a good percentage for 3pointers you can’t expect a guy to average .442 from 3 every year. Curry has potential to shoot 50% from the field 40% from 3 and 90% from 3, that doesn’t make it hugely likely. I wish the team had more defense at the 3 and 2 positions to make up for Curry’s deficiencies same with the C position to make up for Lee’s deficiencies. Rush is good, he might be even starting calibur, the problem with an Udoh, Lee, Wright, Rush, Curry lineup is that there isn’t a starting calibur 3rd scoring option, we need someone like Deng, or Iggy. We also need more depth at center. Also why does Biedrins still start? Udoh has been doing a great job at defense.

Yep, I wish for a lot of things too...I wish we had a center also that Lee might be more effective, and Curry, Wright, Monta get better scoring opportunities..

The inside game opens up the outside game, and back again…An inside presence to complement Lee would sure make defenses honest, and open better looks outside.

For Lee to be more effective I am by the way talking not of his ability to score

with a better Center his scoring might go down, but his effectiveness will be better because he will have a better defender next to him. Udoh is good at one on one defense so he helps Lee, but a good one on one defender that is also good at help defense would really help Lee out.

Correct. A player being better and more effective does not necessarily mean greater numbers.

there is zero reason why we wont have a three game win streak after tonight

lets get some momentum building. we have some very winnable games coming up against phoenix, houston, and some others. would be nice to reach .500. maybe instill a little bit of confidence in someone besides nate rob

I'm with you. Also, it should be a bounce-back game for our starting backcourt after the last Sacramento outing!

a bounce back?

from the utah game would be back to sucking?

Clearly state a bounce back from the last outing with Sacramento...

there is zero reason why we wont have a three game win streak after tonight

does Vegas show those odds?

not unless being a 1.5 point underdog means there is no reason we won't win tonight lol

Rally, Kino/ Vegas has us as 1.5 underdogs? That sucks!

When we have a high expectations,

Warriors loose, there is no easy game for the Warriors. Specially on the road. I am hopeful that they can pull it off. Will be tough.

DaveinSJ - February 4, 2012 reply

If we lose tonight

I’m on the Tank Train.

If we keep on losing I think we will trade Biedrins and Ellis at least

Maybe even Lee at the trade deadline. We’ve been doing alright recently but we have to go on a winning streak. Part of me hopes that the team bites the bullet this year. Getting a good draft choice would be excellent.

Don't bet on that trade Brutus, and don't hold your breath either!

There is no reason not to blow up the team if the team has not shown improvement

from last year’s team at the trade deadline. There is also no excuse to not do something drastic at that point. Not good enough to make the playoffs with the starting 5 we have, then some of them or at the very least one of them needs to go.

i agree

come trade deadline, if the warriors are still in suckland, Ellis is gone. Thats what i interpreted atleast from that recent Lacob interview. not too sure about Lee i think he’s here for a while because Lacob is in love with him and his work ethic.

NY has no PG

Jeremy Lin is getting good minutes. I think he has a chance to work himself into the starting lineup. (Iman Shumpert is not the answer)

Lin is a bench player

But with no PG, Lin is probably the best starter until Baron comes back

I disagree on Lin being bench player

He plays excellent tough defense and has good court vision. Baron not gonna be playing any D.

+ Agree. Good exposure for him, let's see how he handles it...

Anybody would be better than Shumpert.

He’s absolutely destroying whatever flow is left of the offense…most shoot-first PG in the history of the NBA, when he probably shouldn’t be shooting at all…LOL

thats because

he’s not a point guard, he played SG in college. size/lack of PG depth relegates him to the 1

He's 6'5"

he’s got plenty of size to play the 2. Basically they just don’t have a PG, which is the other part of what you said.

Round two of Nor Cal team matchup

This’ll be a good one. Good luck, Warriors!

yoshifan - February 4, 2012 reply

I have noticed that DeMarcus Cousins has gotten a lot better after Smart took over.

any STREAMing of game? Did Feds close all of the sports sites?

deja8 - February 4, 2012 reply

your best bet is to try and find an international site, one that usually streams soccer game ect

they usually show nba games.. idk about a GS-Sac game, but its worth a shot.

JimPunkrockford - February 4, 2012 reply

ty

Check it out on Posting and Toasting Lin is having a good game

and Knick fans are going crazy! I feel good for Lin.

Posting and Toasting

same

he looks like hes having a lot of fun

LOL even some MVP chants during the free throws of Jeremy!

what channel is that game on?

I watch it on International LP

Not an US resident ;)

Lin came in the second half and won the game for NY basically

while out playing Derron Williams. It was kind of like that summer league game where he outplayed Wall, except it was much better.

Amazing game!

He also came off the bench late 1st/early 2nd and fueled a comeback from down 12 to essentially tie it at half.

JimPunkrockford - February 4, 2012 reply

OMG i just got home ans saw his line!!!! unreal

lin is just having his way with nj lol

do have a link to that game?

sorry man i got league pass :/

reggie is on his way to a great game against phoenix as well.

Reggie is playing already?

Yeah for the Bobcats and he is starting for them

I hope he ends up having a great season. Morrow already had that 40+ game recently, now Lin I guess it’s Reggie’s turn.

On top of all that I don’t even have to feel bad about letting those guys go because I am happy with the Warriors bench as well. I am less happy with the Warriors starters.

Of course we gave up Lin for basically no reason

also we could have resigned Reggie. Morrow I think was bound to go.

Thanks, brutus. I thought they had said at least 2 mos recovery for Reggie. He is going to be a great starter for them!

Reggie could be starting..just saying.

until Henderson and Maggette come back

Should be starting for us...

cant win em all

at least Dubs have a knack for finding D-league talent. Tolliver, Cj, Morrow, Reggie, Lin

only one missing is Buike because his knee got messed up after surgery

if he keeps playing like he is today, he'll be starting even when they get back

silas loves him.

well Henderson is the best scorer

so yeah I could see him starting over Maggette(unless he goes to the DJ/Kemba backcourts to start)

henderson for his career averages 14.3 pts per 36 on .501 TS%
reggie for his career averages 16.4 pts per 36 on .581 TS%

there is no way you can convince me that henderson is a better scorer than reggie

i'm saying this season

reggie has played 2 games

you can’t say henderson is the best scorer because reggie coming off knee surgery has only played 2 games

Yep! He is going to be a good one...

What a game for J Lin!

im so happy for him haha

im crying on the inside. warriors have knack for releasing promising players

F u

Monroe 24 16. Udohs potential is nothing compared to that beasy

richiek - February 4, 2012 via mobile reply

Hey hindsight is 20/20, Monroe still isn't a good defender... yet

Udoh I like, all I expect from the FO is to get a good player with the No. 6 pick which I think they did a fairly good job with Udoh, he has no offense so he will always be underrated but he plays defense well. The Warriors are usually better when Udoh is playing(that may be because of who he backs up.)

Udoh is a better fit behind Lee then Monroe would be imo

I like his ultradefensive change of pace when Lee comes out

Monroe's like Lee.

but at like 1/3 of the price

whats that called? bang for Buck

yeah Monroe gets a lotta bang of his little bucks

Reggie and Lin both having great games tonight...

Morrow had one last night too

(tears)

going to be a fun one with Buckets back

Monta going to have to use energy on defense

cant wait to see bad long two after bad long two tonight from both sides

Wow Lin went nuts

anyone have a lnk for this game?

or did the recent pre-superbowl fed crackdown kill me? In NY- HELP!

It's sad

When you need the Super Bowl to get the feds to do anything

So the Warriors released Lin and Reggie

That will come back to haunt them

jeremy lin trending on twitter

wow

Morrow was trending like a mug last night

wow some ppl are just crazy

https://twitter.com/#!/RileyBurnsRed/status/165996342102081537/photo/1

So the Warriors released Lin and Reggie, That will come back to haunt them

haha, surprised that anyone is still following Lin or Reggie? too much time on our hands??

I look at all the boxscores

if it wasnt for Acie i would never appreciate Lin like I do now

Eww ugly pass by Curry

I've come to a conclusion

If he passing does not improve by his 5th year, he is a SG

*his

CURRY

Getting Biedrins going....

Mark Jackson has to have the team get Biedrins buckets rather than have Biedrins get the team buckets.

Mark Jackson doesn’t realize that

No one misses Baron Davis more then Andris Biedrins

If you post up Biedrins

He only has one move – the hook

He's afraid to get fouled

He will only shoot the hook because you can’t foul it

BIEDRINS ISO AGAIN!!!!! HE CAN'T SCORE THAT WAY!!!!

I guess he never watched Baron Davis play with Andris…..

he being Coach

Dwight Howard just announced that he wants to play with Jeremy Lin

LOL

LOL

Catch 22

Magic would demand Lin as the centerpiece of the trade

link

should i bother looking or will i not find this link online?
anyone?

Oh Monta

lol Monta, what the

get the foul

what a pass

that was a crazy pass

that was alot of contact on Monta without a foul call

he spun away from any contact

Beans with the huge block

Nice pass by Curry

Refs aren't going to call anything

ya they have swalled the whistle early

It's good for us

Then Cousins won’t go to the line

They’ll start whistling eventually and the Warriors will start racking up fouls.

Yup

They’ll probably start calling touch fouls out of nowhere

hopefully they keep playing at this pace

Jesus… Dorell’s on fire.

Lee with the pretty dime

Lee to Monta always looks good

Monta brining his A game tonight

Just as you say that he blows a layup..

Zone so early?

nice pass Dwright

Maybe he CAN create off the dribble

Okay nevermind he airballed his next shot

some real nice passing so far

Dorell getting too excited

Refs will not call anything tonight

Sac announcer...

….“Warriors don’t even go after rebounds…”

Wow… zero D inside. Lee didn’t even try to contest that layup by Thornton.

Refs wouldn’t call a foul if someone got hit with a club

I like it

Evanz - February 4, 2012 reply

Do you happen to have the boxscore for that?

he didnt shoot well but he got to the free throw a lot

Ah, yeah, that sounds about right.

10-19? Pretty good, he cant hit 3's for shit, but tonight's performance was out of this world when you remember last year...

smdh

Smart never really gave him a chance to get comfortable...

….

all he needed was the minutes. If NY coach wants his job he should start Jlin

10-19 is not shooting well?

no he got a bunch of continuation on some of the softest fouls ever that let him take like 3 extra steps and put up a shot

he didnt hit anything outside of 12 feet, the nets pick and roll defense was atrocious

off to Twitter to congratulate we go :)

WHAT!?

wright!

Dorell just scored off the dribble… what the hell’s happening tonight?

WOW… Dorell with a HAMMER.

NASTY

WOW A FOUL

SOMEONE WRITE THIS DOWN

THIS MAY BE THE ONLY FOUL IN THE GAME

Of course.. it’s on the Warriors.

what a nasty dunk

cant fake the funk

Sac’s broadcasts have some odd musical choices leading to their commercial breaks. Nothing wrong with the actual songs they’re using, but never would I expect the Black Keys and Blink-182 to be played during sports broadcasts…

this is going to be a really good game

wrights dunk was so fn nasty

Nate Microwave

Tyler good on the help, but didn't secure the ball. arrrrrgh

can’t believe how excited I was that the Warriors actually got a rebound.

Thornton is stealing our balls

grab the ball, Rush

TWSS

Hah, did that ball just bounce and hit Rush's face?

lol yup

Tyler, catch the ball when it comes your way!

Man..

his hands are horrible!

disguy - February 4, 2012 reply

i’m not sure i’ve ever seen anyone need as much work as tyler does

Tyler didn't catch the ball cleanly again

Nice one handed rebounding technique

Does anyone have a stream that's actually working?

firstrowsports.eu

Does not work but thx anyway.

working fine for me...

…sure you typed it in correctly? I’ve been watching the whole game.

WHAT? A FOUL?????!!!!

Whoa, a haaanging Klay

Thomas, giving himself a round of applause

Nate the great

This is actually a fun game to watch

A lack of fouls (calling) will do that :)

Wow, thank goodness that was deflected

Tyler didn’t expect the ball coming

Turns hout he's not that good

weren’t there some ppl around here who said he should be the starter?

I didn't

I said he should get minutes or get sent down

not you

Swarming Kings defense got us that time

Also, I hate fastbreak fouls

gameover.

THANK YOU for the NO CALL on that Cousins fall down flop

Reggie SG next to Kemba: 8-13, 20 points, 5 assists, 0 TOs after 3 Quarters!

First, full comeback game!

I'm a Reggie fan but,

what has the guy he’s guardings line

lol...worse than the ones Monta and Curry are guarding..

Cousin's, one of the biggest floppers in the entire league. Next to Blake G

Refs are getting wise to that flop crap

I like the officiating so far :)

+4675897654

Refs are not calling anything

I’m pretty sure there was a foul somewhere
I like it lol. Just hack everyone

Two teams refs don't care for.

They probably figure they might as well take the night off.

Monta 333333333333

Dorell thinks he's Rush

Curry nice pass on that transtion to a DWright 3

looking like a point guard there

David Lee: All Star

rofl I said the same thing irl

Except it was, David Lee….CHAMPIONSHIPS!

ok, that made me choke

lee didn’t see him? he didn’t exactly move from where he just shot the ball

lol!

That's straight up inexcusable by Lee

a lot of the things he does are inexcusable

Tyreke is the new Warrior killer

Lee did two things wrong there

1) Bad pass
2) Dumb attempt to take the charge

that'll teach Lee not to play defense!

He already does

Oh snap!

Good Biedrins defense

Lee gets owned on the boards...

80% of the time there’s an opponent near him with a chance for a rebound, he doesn’t get it

LOLee

Now we are the ones getting beat on the boards

one game after beating Utah on the boards

Oh man, somehow, we can't get anything against the Kings defense there

Curry's clanged quite a few shots off the backboard from the corner when he's rushed

Doesn't seem to be his spot.

3.0 seconds and he can't even hit the front side of the backboard?

LOL

Amazing.

Ooooof, just when you thought we played good defense

it’s almost as tho the warriors are a poor rebounding team

almost

don't tell fitz

he still seems shocked everytime we don’t get a board

imagine Lacob

OH. MY. GOD

What was Beans even TRYING to do there

brohug

Well then that shouldn't be a foul.

That’s just being friendly

yea bad call lol

Tyreke is like Monta - not aware of the game situation at the end of qtrs

This game looks a lot better than the last game against the Kings

Maybe the Warriors starters figured out a few things?

Like the Kings are not a good team? LOL

haha

no, i mean amongst themselves. Or maybe they got a kick in the butt when MJ left the bench in to close that game.

If we actually had some good rebounders who know how to box out and protect it after getting possesion, we would be crushing

Yeah, thank goodness we're hitting the 3s, or we'd be moping around again at halftime

Oh man, isn't there free Onion Rings at Burger King today!?!

I guess I missed some Warriors highlights in the 1st qtr

That was embarrassing

Ooof, nice Curry steal into 0 pts

That miss

steph can't make contested layups on the break

he’s missing them with regularity now

to scared to hurt his ankle i feel for him

nice little 21/7/6 for reggie's return

thought he played in their last 2

yea but very limited mins

got 39 mins of run today

should have said in his first start, not his return

wtf was that pass?

steph.

Just go home Warriors, just go home.

somehow, Monta's heavy enough to knock down Cousins

again

How does that not offend the refs?

it sure pisses me the hell off

for real

The players are making fools of them, and they don’t even really care. THAT would infuriate me if I were a ref

WTF jeremy lin 25 pts 7 ast?? 10/19 fg?

lol charge

DWright looooong 3

Good Monta to the rim

monta doesn't seem that quick anymore

He just seems so off these past few games.

But then again I missed the last game and he scored 33 so..

not quick at all on that last layup...

Wow… Dorell doesn’t suck anymore. At least against the Kings anyway.

first thing i saw atht half time stat sheet

0 fouls for steph…lol finally

GSWeri - February 4, 2012 reply

Did you know that DWright has 22 pts, 7/9 fg, 4/4 3pt, 4/4 FT

MVP

jk

Probably the most efficient game of his career.

I did actually.

It’s great!

wtf curry has 4 steals already???????

another former w goin off

reggie had 21 and 7 and 6

Warriors have a knack for that dont they

Ugh, what were you doing there, Monta?

So lazy

What is this

3qc

Good shot selection Ellis

DWright nice pass-block on that help D

That was really lazy by Ellis

monta and stpeh combine to make some really dumb avoidable turnovers off of passes

After a timeout, Kings suddenly got new momentum

Bad pass Curry

Curry sweet shot

damnit....

…stop telling me the future! :)

haha, sorry

monta to steph on a kick out is somethin we should run all the time

Thornton too strong driving on Curry

They're going to Thornton vs Curry again

Good help D

Why didn't Monta go for that loose ball?

Udoh/Biedrins - 0 points, 5 Rs...No help inside...

anyones league pass not working?

Potential - February 4, 2012 reply

Wow, DWright great there

David Lee was on Thornton

Marcus Freaking Thornton…

Dorell PUMP FAKE SUCCESS!

but David Lee, please put your hand up on D…

3pt shootout

Oh DWright off the dribble again!

3s keeping us in the game

How do you not cover Thorton

Curry's D or Marcus' O?

I believe marcus has always lit us up :S

Andrew7744 - February 4, 2012 reply

Marcus all the way

he has been warrior killer

Nice play Steph

Curry very nice play with Lee

MARCUS FREAKING THORNTON…

Warriors killer

He kills us, but is shooting 39% on the season

I wonder why he shoots better when he is against us...

most people shoot better from the field against the warriors

being on the kings that actually is good

He was shooting very well until he got hurt. Then his shooting fell off a cliff.

Curry is becoming a more consistent passer

Good, expect it from a PG!

Eh

His assist to turnover ratio is still about 2:1, his career average

phew, though Curry was holding his hand/wrist

ouch

Wow, Monta and Curry both in pain

Psychic link

sympathetic reaction..

can we get an injury timeout COach?

Nate, take the charge

Kings fast break on our miss

that’s how i wish we played

Nate the rebounding microwave

and the and-1 microwave

David Lee gets credit for that offensive rebound...

he gets a lot of those actually. Where someone just taps it to him.

aren't rebounds supposed to go to the player that tapped it?

or is that only for controlled taps?

only controlled taps

in 2K you get credit for tapping it tho…lol

never understood why players take dumb fouls like that

Ooof, Lee should have seen the help defense coming

lets get klay in the game

+1!

i admit..i thoguth he sucked...

done a 360,…he’s the next kobe thompson..

block party

so weak inside...

TWSS

im sure that weakness he shows all the time transfers into that setting as well

Udoh did everything well, including a pump fake, but whoooooooooops

He's no Greg Monroe

Does anybody have another link?

My online stream crashed.

Torukine - February 4, 2012 reply

Well my stream goes down as we continue to collapse. Time to watch some UFC. I’ll catch you guys after the game when IQ puts up his links as usual.

wtf x 3

Lee jeez

lol

That's unbelievable.

UnbeLEEvable.

5 point swing

jeez...

really hard to watch so many lazy passes

need a link please

stream crashed

LOL wow

Monta seems to be daydreaming..

doesn’t seem into the game…boneheaded play after boneheaded play

could say the same about anyone not named wright

leeeeeeeeeeeee wtf

inexcusable is used way too much around the Warriors

to bad its almost always deserved

Monta butterfingers

He was double teamed, but still, that’s bad

Can we go all bench again please? This is disgusting

Bring in the bench!

where's the hard foul?

no easy layups

what is going on?

were just handing them the ball at this point

Kings are trapping

yeah, on one play, Monta had 2 defenders, AND 2 more defenders further back ready to stop a drive

It's up to him and Curry to make the right pass

This is when a “true” PG would be nice

no question about it

that really shouldn't result in all this...

were just making terrible passes all over. we’re not taking our time at all

offense looks disjointed atm

WTH???

The game isn’t even on the radio tonight? No stream, no radio. argh….

It’s for the better.

It's on KNBR680

I heard the 1st qtr driving home

weird....

…I just listened to both 680 and 1050 and they were talking about football…

do you mean online, or over the air with a real radio?

Online...but it should be the same.

Nope

NBA doesn’t allow its games to be broadcast on radio online (unless you buy a subscription or something)

I see.

Yeah if you listen to it online you won't hear anything

NBA has rules about online radio

ppl dont respect old school AM radio

hipster fm sports radio stations

What?

I just want the game to be on.

monta with the ball in his hands = TO

bring in klay..bench monta

It's not even good defense, they're straight up handing the ball over

4th: Dubstitutes time

return of the 3qc. haven’t seen it in a while

Turrible

any links

anyone?
link?
pleeease

try sportlemon

http://www.firstrowsports.eu/watch/105875/1/watch-sacramento-kings-vs-golden-state-warriors.html

Working for me now.

Not sure I want to see us fall apart, though....

so hard to watch

playing straight up terrible basketball

ekpeudoh20 - February 4, 2012 reply

horrible just plain horrible

Almost seems like other teams want Monta to shoot a 3 at the end of quarters.

No one, even the warriors, turn it over like this

I bet theyre tanking

Bobbita - February 4, 2012 reply

Curry needs to man it up and get back in for his team

Hit to the midsection, goes to locker room and sits out rest of quarter. Play right after that Monta takes a vicious screen to the face and ends up out of bounds, takes a breather and gets back up.

you have no idea what really happened

unless you are psychic and a doctor….. meh

of course i know what happened, i watched it happen

He goes for block, he takes knee to stomach, hes done for quarter.

Players should only get paid for wins.

Bet they’d stop not caring then.

he went to the locker room lmao

why just catch your breath get back in there lol

Okay, this is kinda our season, if we can beat this shit team and be 9-12 and maybe contend, ill take it

if we cant, i dont want to see us win any more games.

kinda our season?

how do you figure?

If we can't beat the freakin Kings, just tank. If we can, 9-12 doesn't seem so bad.

hense kinda our season lol

oh i get what you mean

Kings defense very tough there

Very chewy

thank you Klay

Klay is good enough to draw an initial double team bringing up the ball

But Kings left him wide open for the 3

Is Jimmer hurt?

i believe so

love klay

never hated then loved a player so much

Thompson is money.

Evans/Thornton=1 TO...Curry/Monta=8 TOs

lol Lee just put Cousins on his ass

Udoh nice box out on Cousins, leading into a Cousins foul

Cousins is going to get a Tech soon

That's what i was thinking too.

Warriors need to talk to him a little so he gets ejected :)

Klay needs more minutes

Klay needs more game

what more can he do?

he makes every 3 he takes..been passing the ball better…don’t understand your comment

He's a very nice catch and shoot player.

nah..he's been expanding his game lately...

been taking it to the rack…penetrating and dishing..he is evolving

He's not consistent beyond the catch and shoot

Which is to be expected of a rookie guard

you are right...

he is not consistent ..but i think he is showing way more game than just being a catch and shoot player….he just seems to be getting more confident each game and shows a little more development to his game each game….and thizz is right…he was getting more minutes early in the year when he didnt deserve it and was bricking everything…now is the time to reward him

Seems like he was getting more minutes early in the season when he was bricking everything

too much robinson right now

no foul for Nate?

They have not called anything all game

This game is......

Tanktastic

pericles31081 - February 4, 2012 reply

where is curry!!!!!!!!!!!

took a little hit

Do we know he didn’t hurt his hand/wrist?

Udoh weak side block party

damnit, i wish they sold those bobbleheads in the online team store

It feels like the Warriors can sneak out a win

Kings aren’t that good

we can only hope for a Kings collapse trying to close the game

kings are thinking the same thing about us

Circle of life

neither are we.

Better than the Kings though

warriorsablaze

link works
good lookin out!
been looking all night

sneaky nate

It's going to go into OT with Klay hitting a Vlad like 3 at the buzzer.

Thus boosting Klay’s confidence and making him forget about the preseason fail.

why does mj keep the starters out for 6 minutes during the most important quarter?

every game

Because the bench outplays them

Yup...

…if the starters don’t have the offense going…they are worse than the bench.

very true

but i like how monta plays during the 4th but not the last possesion of the 4th q lol

Cause Bench has more chemistry and better defense than the starters.

They play more cohesively.

Klay, team as a whole, EXECELLENT defense

Dom with the Tyler hands

or is it tyler with dom hands?

hahahaha

Dom with the block

Klay with the help steal

Wut wow

LGW

Oh man, Hayes shoulder

LET'S GOOOOOOO

DUBS!

Are you kidding refs

of course, Tyreke gets the call when he's swarmed with defenders

Now the whistles

5 Point game.

Warriors are acting like its 15. Play and put some effort into the game.

put in BEANS 5 rebounds 3 BS come on

bs foul

Man, our D is so much better with the “big 3” out of the game….

put in the starters!!!!!!!

Monta and DWright look like there night is done

klay 3!

Oh Klay....

KLAY!!!

Curry on the bench doesn't look to be in pain

Klay Allen with a 3

Bench making a great comeback

GREAT defense on Tyreke

wooo!

Warriors!!

Nate the cleanup!

down 2 only! clap clap clap

Klay Miller

LGW !!!

OMG

What did Udoh do to get a foul call?

He existed

Yeah I didn't see any foul there.

he showed up

udoh gets a worse whistle than beans

That was horrible, are these refs afraid of Cousins!?

Cousins went to the Ginobili school of flopping

Geez

The refs have not called ANYTHING all game, no need to criticize them for one call

It's ok

He’s gonna get a big head and get T in a sec.

anybody know Curry's status?

ekpeudoh20 - February 4, 2012 reply

hes fine on the bench

but looks like the starters wont come back in

According to reports he twisted his ankle walking back to the locker room

curry got injured i just started watching

that was a question btw

Kings have no answer for our bench unit

how many more games can this thing go on

whats with Cousins and falling down all the time

Gravity's a B#$%h

LOL

hes a flopper like derek fisher

Wow Nate…wow

Nate the great!

NATE ROB 3

PRAYER

Nate: I MAKE TOUGH SHOTS

Whenever I actually want Fitz to whine about a foul call he never does

holy smokes

Warriors good defense to swarm Cousins

Wow Ref Down

lmao dubz bench knocked the ref out?

better call a charge motherf***!!!!!

robby robbinson doin work

Just give Klay the ball.

Rush hour BLOCK!

DOM!!!!!!!!

KLAY 3!!! WOW

KLAY DAGGGGGARRRS

333333

KLAY + NATE!!

Klay Allen!!!!!!!!

i heart the bench!

Klay Thompsen, don't leave him wide open

I am worried the bench will run out of gas at the end

KLLLLLLLAY BRYAAAAAAAANT

KLAYYYY

So we make our bench the starters, then trade our starters for a great bench!

Me for GM

you for gm

+

so behind, just saw the ref get taken out

Good things are coming for you!

KLAY MILLER!

Awwww, Klay

Klay Richmond

NATE JORDAN

NATE JORDAN

BRANDON RUSH DEFENSE

BRANDON BOWEN!

BraNDON PAYTON

Too much passing

Nate the thief!

Rush Hour JAM

BRANDON RUSH THROW DOWN SMACK DOWN

NATE + RUSH !!!

If I'm Keith Smart, I call a timeout

And ask my guys, are you really gonna let this bench run you over again?

OH MY

Nate deserves more All Star talk than Monta or Curry

lol rush barely jumping high enough

lol I though he was going to miss

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP

huge play

Flag on the field, Excessive Celebrations

this isnt the no fun league

its the national bribe association

ROB BY ROB

this ain't your moma's old warriors

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO

haha, nifty little saying by Fitz

the Brandon CRush

Nate Archibald

wait? huh?

Haha

Nate “Tiny” Archibald!

n8 the gr8

WOOOOOOOOOO

bojangles408 - February 4, 2012 reply

Bench outplaying the starters again

this would be funny if we pull this on the Thunder on Tues

hopefully Westbrook decides to pull up for 15-20 long twos

Like Philly and Denver...

…it’s one of those situations where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts…. our starters are the opposite.

Brandon Wilkins

wtf is going on LGW LMAO

The reason why the Warriors bench is beating the Kings

They are playing much more cohesively, and they are defenders. The Kings don’t have good enough players or aren’t playing cohesively enough to break

to break that bench

kings are just a bad team

hehe

yeah, but you wouldn't think so back in the 3rd qtr

NATE HAS BEEN FCIN AMAZIN

this

UFC stream went down so I came back. NateRob doing work? Awesome.

You’re going to miss the main fight??

Nah I’m trying to get the stream working again. Until then, I’ll bide my time with some basketball.

Diaz-Condit is gonna be an amazing fight… wouldn’t miss it even if the Warriors were on the verge of making the playoffs.

Are you on first row sports? It’s working on there

Got it working again.. just in time for the fight! WHOOOOO!

Nice!

Oh man that staredown… intense!

where would we be without Nate..?

jpees - February 4, 2012 reply

tanking

I think the team just flows better without Lee in. Props to the bench though. I don’t want to diss them.

Warriors defend Tyreke like opponents defend Monta

really? out of a timeout?

eh i guess that was the kings timeout

Ooof, Nate forgot to check the clock

That was pretty big

Trade Nate!

Nate Hardaway puttin in work

setting up Klay Kerr and Brandon Worthy

Cousins another flop

get outta here dude

Cousins flopping just running back

nail biting time!

give the ball to Klay

lol @ thornton jumping up and down wide open

good thing tyreke has tunnel vision

Yeah, that and he's being swarmed by our defense

so im guessing Tyreke bulls his way down the lane on this next play?

Klay Majerle please

smh

Warriors will get last shot

Do we see Curry come back in?

nah

NO

the bench has earned the right to lose the game

Like I said before, Klay makes the Game Winning Shot/Game Tying into OT shot.

You heard it here first.

actually, i take that back

MAYBE, if they want more shooters on the floor

Tyreke still has the same court vision he had in high school

klay for last shot

Bring in Vlad!!!

He isn't on the Warriors..

lol

lol need the Cousins choke sign to activate Vlad Rad

the warriors destiny lies in the hands of Klay Thompson

Wow. J Lin had 25, 7, and 5 tonight

he lit up deron williams.

who needs Baron ?

Jeremy Stockton...

where have u been? its all over

Lin > Stockton
Nate > Curry
Klay > Monta

*

Lin > Deron

Jeremy Paul

Jeremy Havliceck

LGW DEFENSE

anybody catch kevin love stomping luis scola in the face when he was on the ground.

wut? there goes that all star selection

Where can I see that?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1yjlnYjido

oh wow, that was deliberate

its the beard

youtube me

cmon dubs

DEEEEEEEFENSE.

Leave jason thompson open..cover everyone else..

stupid foul, c'mon team

Wow.

Nate TOO aggressive, got a foul

Klay for game winning shot.

GO KLAY.

darn it..miss your FT's John Salmon's.

so many offensive boards

story of the night.

FML

A rebound WOULD have been nice..

Ooooof

that was a basket interference

wut

on tyreke's shot

looked like interference

Oh I thought it was the FT

so appropriate

omg that dude courtside looked like Nate Dogg

Even our bench cant board

fuck

So we beat Utah on the boards

and lose to Sacramento on the boards

Lets go Klay Lets go.

Lets go Klay lets go.

I say again, do we bring in Curry now?

yeah, i think so

something is wrong with nates leg he keeps grabing it

i think he tweaked a groin

he has been stretching the last 4 or 5 mins during breaks

down 3, who do you put on the floor?

Klay, Rush, Curry, ???

Monta Klay Rush Dorrel

id go with klay rush curry dorell and monta

if they want to go for 3

going for 2 would be a better choice though

actually scratch monta, throw nate in there

Watch Monta come in

Klay to tie

Yes

like i said before Beans shoulda been in

BRING IN CURRY FOR THE 3!!!!!!!!!

yeah

klay, dwright, rush, curry

this^^^

Quit feeling on yourself Nate

im feeling Rush for the last shot...

Dorrell was having a great game

Shame to have benched him

Beans for the 3, calling it now.

15 seconds is enough time to go for a 2 and foul again

or should we just go for 2?

im surprised there are still Kings fans tho lol

most of them are soccer moms tho

STEPH IS SITTING?!

Maybe he's injured

domonic maguire better not be in on this play.

Curry staying out?

Curry and Klay

Dorell in the corner because he’s not a screen guy

No Monta WOW O.o

curry for the diversion

hit Klay in the corner

WTF BRING IN FUCKING CURRY

Klay from the corner!!!!!

Nate with the drive and kick!

KLAY!!! OMGWTFBBQ

GIVE IT TO KLAY MILLER

I CALLED IT

I CALLED IT LIKE AN HOUR AGO

lol sorry

got excited ahaha

KLAY ALLEN

KLAY!

KLAY MILLER

KLAY KLAY KLAY KLAY

wow great shot Klay

but ALOT of time on the clock

Maybe they were going for a quick 2, but the opportunity for the corner 3 appeared

Klay tied it..I knew it.

KLAY MILLER

KLAY IS KLUTCH

KLAY JORDAN

KLAY KERR!!!!!!!!

“i’ll be ready Nate Jordan”

Klay is pretty good

can always count on sacramento to leave the 3 open to stop the 2 when theyre up 3

i dont think many other teams would have done that

PRESEASON PRACTICE PAID OFF!!!!

Monta's job in jeopardy

THOMPSON TIME!

KLAY MILLER

ack, subject lines please

my bad, facepalmed myself as soon as i posted it...

B****es on my d*ck cuz I'm Klay Thompson

subject lines please

That movies so scary

screw grammar, overtime!

really?

is this necessary

DEFENSE GO GO

now we lose on an offensive rebound right?

no foul...good defense.

DEFENSE CMON

DEFENSEEEE

KLAY IS WOW

Klay was wide open

Thornton left him

4 guys guarding the paint when they are up 3

GET A REBOUND!!

GET A REBOUND WARRIORS

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

we going to OT pysche

OVERTIME

cmon warriors

let’s gooooo!

Wow OT

overrtime! yes!

lulz keith smart iso

only monta can execute that!

not quite

Somebody on the Kings DID come up to try to set a screen

KLAY KLAY KLAY KLAY KLAY KLAY

Tyreke with his patented contested off balance long two

Tyreke Ellis

lol

OT

OT we should have advantage right ?

Bench is gassed

Dom needs to hold Defensive clinics for the Warriors

lol

gsw_fan

certainly did call that
and with the potentially even better call, jerry west may have in fact picked the winner i doubted for a long time

BRING IN STARTES KEEP KLAY IN

So question for overtime

Bench or Starters? And if bench do they have the energy to go another 5 at this pace?

bench

let’s see how they do for a couple of possessions

mix it in

maybe curry and dorrell and see where it goes

I think the bench has to be a bit tired.

Hopefully starters get some PRIDE

OT

GET COUSINS TO FOUL OUT WE WIN

That might help the Kings actually

haha he is a bafoon

its funny watching him play

ot baby!

evans

happppppy to have him shoot it
only monta or durant or kobe makes a shot with footing that bad

soooooooo..... that was completely awesome

NATE

Marcus Thompson @gswscribe

Close

Robinson went to locker room holding his groin area

So that's why he was clawing at it all game

oh no, Nate got them crabs

yeah he tweaked it in the middle of the 4th, you could see him trying to stretch it during every break

waiting for someone to say:

“suck it up! come back out of the locker room and play you pansy!”

:(

That blows

TWSS

I just figured out what that stands for

Yeah same lol

i now officially stop looking at kawhi leonard and alec burks box scores...

KLAY KLAY KLAY KLAY KLAY

i say curry, klay, rush, lee, udoh

AmaruEternal1989 - February 4, 2012 reply

can somebody send me a link to the game? its sunrise here in croatia my eyes are red but i want to see this big win,hopefully

YAY OT now i can finish my pizza

Nate can't play, so it will be Monta

and Curry

WHY NO NATE?!

NATE>>>> STEPH NOW

injured

starters so fresh

too much dribbling curry

please take stef out

+1

Yeah, damn him and his double-double and 4 steals

and his fouls and tos and jacking up 3s and bad defense

when hes not on fire shooting, hes not doin much else

other than getting assists and stealing the ball you mean

Of course, now they call weakish fouls

dude klay has become freaking awesome

his shots go in, hes rebounding and playing defense

i guess that text message i sent him worked.

Klay everything but the finish

steph in no rhythm at all

Generally whoever makes the first shot of OT wins.

Oh no.

oo thats a big one and hurts

Curry definitely out of shooting rhythm

CMON STEPH!

practice shot

Curry you are shooting us out of the game.

Please leave.

curry sucking

so many things I could say

but I won’t. I’ll hold myself back

Put Nate back

Forget the groin!

forget... the... groin

ouch

curry bad ot

Oh great, now Udoh wrist

isnt that his same wrist he injured last year

yep

o no

How many injuries can we have in one game?

Come on..

Injuries mounting up

Send in Chris Hunter!

Chris Hunter ftw

and Cartier

get curry out im not trusting him right now

Curry just lost us the game

Well Mark Jackson lost us the game, steph shouldn’t be in. He’s been awful

no Nate Robinson

Okay when Monta shoots us out of games, its Monta's fault.

But when Curry shoots us out of games, its Jackson’s fault?
No.

Well when Monta or Steph is playing horrible and the coach is running iso plays that result in bad shots

for that same player, it is the coaches fault

Warriors Fanatic - February 4, 2012 reply

Robinsons back

GET HIM IN THE GAME

HES HURT

in the locker room

wow curry..

steph bricking everything from everywhere

He wants a house

well i think he made half of the new kings arena already

Why is Rush on the bench?

seriously

he missed like an open jumper…badly

3 foot jumper too

bench is probably tired though

You effin better call that a shot

Frustrating

Monta 3... nope

game over

So our starters are just going to brick everything

of course not

we get worse calls than the kings..

Are you kidding me.

OK, that's game on that lucky shot

why is monta shooting?

jesus christ curry.........

steph your a noob

one handed pass. keith smart is laughing his * off

Funny how you guys show up only after Curry does something bad

agree

Funny how you so sensitive to any Curry comments ..

Acie Law is laughing his * off too

we’re gonna go scoreless in ot aren’t we

THE BENCH > STARTERS

TRADE ALL THE STARTERS AWAY

no T?

ofcourse have monta and curry shoot every basket after not playing the 4th q

starting backcort has been terrible

Usual

off thompson..looked like it

HEY MARK WAKE UP UR BENCH IS PLAYING BETTER

Sell high on CUrry

Knee jerk reaction…… But still

let's sell all of our starters and rebuild

on 2k i kept only monta and wright and wright is coming off the bench

lmao

Knee jerk? Is that what you call it when you hate on the guy for years?

i never hated on him for years

just never bowed down to him as the savior

Smart pwning the Dubs this year

Curry wants better teammates so he's going for the tank

I see Marcus touching that

..

Monta + Curry → 10-30 from the field, 9 turnovers

They're both too smart to keep shooting right? No? Oh, right.

And we shafted CP3 for Curry.

Nah

CP3 shafted us for The Brown Skies of LA

No

CP3 wasn’t staying. Curry is a very good young player. Just not a passer

Klay Thompson and DWright should be in alongside Monta

Steph really???

CUrry's been Bad..

but so has monta …why does he get a pass?

monta shouldnt be in at all either

exactly

Klay/Rush/Dom 2-3-4…

where Capt Jack when you dont want to put a point on the floor?

Curry is NOT a PG

He is a SG with above average passing

Curry cost us this game.

Mark Jackson did bad lineup, he runs no real plays

not really

lack of rebounding

this 2

Kings got a good share of offensive rebounds

+1

monta shot okay most of the way, just some dumb arse moments

No

our backcourt fails. curry is horrible. trade

chemistry wise the Warriors have a very poor starting 5

they just dont go together at all

bench chemistry > starters chemistry

JEREMY LIN> CURRY

Why do we care? The best option for this team is to tank and keep the pick. They aren't going anywhere this year.

LOL...all the curry haters....

MONTA has sucked just as much tonight

i like curry but he came out with no energy at all

Bot him and Monta were terrible...

turnovers …bricking everything…more turnovers…daydreaming…awful game by the starting backccourt

shhhhhhh...!!

I love Curry

he is just not a PG. He could improve, but passing isn’t a skill you can easily improve on in the offseason.

naw

monta shot better most of the time and was at least aggressive

Game over

They’ve been stuck on 102

Hey, Nate IS back in

What a true warrior

Too late

soon enough to get him more injured in a lost game though

lol

Why are we paying Lee so much money to sit the entire 4th and OT.. over dominic mcguire. I wonder what Lacob has to say about that.

I agree.

Warriors Fanatic - February 4, 2012 reply

Ok....

Mcguire guards Evans…. TOUGH JUMPER
Monta guards Evans…. BLOWS BY FOR A LAYUP
Seriously Monta’s defense there… ugh

curry is our PG? really? he is horrible.

Monta has been just as bad tonight. Or are you ignoring that?

Curry shot us out of it when it mattered the most.

Thus, he gets the heat.
Normally Monta gets the heat for this.

I say bull. The entire game is important. A missed shot early in the game is just as bad as a missed shot late in the game. Either way it’s a possession wasted with no points. They both shot horribly tonight.

Get used to this happening a lot.

Mark Jackson has never coached at any level, times like these show it

Bingo, what a horrible, horrible hire.

well it's a horrible hire if you wanted to make the playoffs this year

I’ll give him 2 years at least before i go that far

I mean there were better options. This hire stinks, why bring in a broadcaster who sounds like an idiot a lot of the time?

Bryan Shaw was available… cmon…

I'd rather Jenkins than Monta/or Curry in

YES!!!!!

where the hell has he been? PLAY HIM JACSON!!!

We needed composure, and that's a great word for him; composed

Dom with a nice/lucky pass to Klay at the baseline

monta

can not play d

klay thompson mvp

everyone else!

Btw not having a Center on the court for over half the game is beginning to discourage me

the best center is Jeremy Tyler but MJ doesnt trust him yet

he's terrible right now

not even a true center

just a bigger body

yeah real conundrum they have with that "center" position

when you have to consider him the best option to play in major minutes because the 9 million dollar a year man can hit a 5 foot layup or free throw?

Great defense!

TRADE EVERYBODY!!!!!!!

Badly Browned - February 4, 2012 reply

lol jump ball

Haha Klays face when he shoots free throws

Klays gotta change his facial expressions

every time i see his face i just want to punch it

I wonder how much of that was why a lot of people hated him

he does have a very punchable face

Blew the call again.

Refs are terrible

Curry out for Nate.Good.

Why?

cause nate played better

lmao ya fucking right

seriously?

Curry was crap tonight, Nate lead the comeback

curry had 11 and 9 with 5 to’s and went 4-14

nate had 20 and 4 on 8-14

3 minutes too late

Curry suck!

Shells - February 4, 2012 reply

Oh no not Shells!

Mcdonaldo is gonna hate you too :)

clever

did you learn to change peoples names like that last year in second grade punk?

Calm down

first of all – Curry is playing out of position. Put him at SG as a secondary ballhandler but not a primary ballhandler

Why do you always instantly defend farid? when he insults my name even…

Because I AM farid

dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

where are you every game until Curry starts to play bad.? you just lurk here until it’s time to trash Curry – nothing but a freaking parasite.

dagger

Jim is so freaking annoying

We suck.

Trade everyone

game over...

haha

refs have been pretty good tonight but damn, that one was terrible

fuck this shit

good night

Shells - February 4, 2012 reply

Mark Jackson has no idea what he's doing.....

Couldn’t’ve we hired him as an assistant coach for smart instead??

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa hes an idiot

hes all talk and by talk i mean talking non sense hands down man down crap

we lost the game

when he sub ellis and curry. bad night for those two guys so why bother putting them in since we have better chance winning this game with our bench. id say bad coaching decisions.

stepN30 - February 4, 2012 via Android app reply

I think he just gave the starters a benefit of the doubt. They start for a reason.

Had the bench sucked in OT, people would have complained about leaving Curry and Monta out. It goes both ways.

i guess you are right

the starters failed us. Trade em’ all!

Curry sucks. Trade him.

lol you sound like a knicks fan

just because he had one bad night u just call trades.

uhh no...

trade monta..at least you got a replacement with Klay waiting right now…

you can get more for curry

for the rest of the way we could start monta and klay at guards. couldnt hurt us anymore us currently

Curry for Brandon Jennings

ew

Jennings has actually been pretty good this year. He is finally shooting at an acceptable clip and he’s passing a little better so far this season.

downgrade

LOLNO

i wouldnt even do cj or nate for jennings

Curry is good at basketball. Calm down, it is one game.

belilaugh - February 4, 2012 reply

its becoming to common

the terrible to’s and nights where hes a 0 without his shooting

Fine.

Calm down, it is one injury-ridden, condensed schedule season where Curry is shooting an uncharacteristically low percentage from 3 point land, and probably from free throw land as well.

belilaugh - February 4, 2012 reply

injuries okay

but i dont need to use that as an excuse for a guy supposedly here to guide us. his ankle has looked fine the last few games, and if its really an issue. its definitely time to move on

Curry did not cost us this game

rebounding did

ding ding ding!

I’ll say it again, not having a Center for over half the game is beginning to discourage me

when is kwame coming back...the team can't do without him.

Truth...

We seriously have no rebounding.

Could have gone without Curry jacking up 4 straight bricks to start the OT, though.

+1

That was a nice run

by the bench in the 4th. Although, that 24-sec violation by Nate was a killer. We had the ball twice tied at 99 and they forgot how to run any plays.

Too bad Curry had to shoot like crap in OT.

disguy - February 4, 2012 reply

Hey guys, we might look back at this game and be happy that we lost when we get Harrison Barnes lol

i like your thinking

lol

I loath losing to the Kings.

The team is better with NATE running the point. he can actually stay in front of his man, he can penetrade, he can TAKE CARE OF THE BALL

I don't appreciate all the Curry trashing

His passing has been an issue ALL YEAR. But he is a great shooter on a rookie contract. He is our future.

He sucks.

He is one of the top shooters in the NBA

and he’s pretty young

LOL what future is that? A PG who cant pass, who cant penetrade who cant guard? Thats a horrible future.

Thats like NASH who cant pass a nd cant penetrate. its Effin ridiculous..

No, see

Curry is a SHOOTING GUARD. And he could penetrate if his ankle would heal properly

Its anyones guess if and when that will even happen. and Curry guarding SGs would be game over right there. its laughable

Monta isn't any better

and if we got a good PG who could defend, we could switch the matchup

LOL monta is definitely better at guarding SGs than Curry. Not even close.

this

monta is stronger so he can at least stand a chancce in the post if he feels like it , cirry not at all

Look

If we could get a good PG who could defend, then it would all be fine

Thats asking too much. Klay is fine as our SG of the future.

Monta is a bench player soon. Curry is not the future. He still has value to net us something decent in our positions of need PG and Center.

golden state currently 6th worst record

keep the starters together!!!!

where are all the curry haters...

when he is putting up 32..and then 28 and 14……Curry was terrible tonight…But monta was just as bad…Dorrel, Klay, and NATe were awesome….rebounds killed it…turnovers killed it ….Curry did not lose the game by himself…Monta did not lose the game by himself…stop your agendas.

monta was not just as bad

he shot better most of the game til OT and at least went harder and looked like he cared.

curry was invisible most of the way

Monta did not shoot better. he turned the ball over more. he didn’t get assists like curry..

but… hey, at least he looked like he cared.

Are you serious? Monta had 5 TO, 3 ast. 4 reb and was -17

Curry did shoot worse but also had 9 ast. and 4 steals. He was also -11 and played 8 minutes less then Monta.

6 of those assists came in the 1st qtr

at least half of those were off easy passes to wide open guys , its not like he creates for anyone on all of those. curry also had 5 to’s

he played less minutes cause he got hit, a hit which shouldnt have cause him to go to the locker room, he screwed up OT pretty bad and for someone who we rely on as a big part of the future he must try and grab the reigns of the team at some point and it has never happened . hes a shooter, he needs to shoot, not fade away into the background

But still less negative then Monta on the night only -11! That was horrible game for Curry standards but only slightly below average for Monta.

We need to Trade Curry while teams still drool over his efficiency.

We need a better PG. Nate is better than Curry at the PG role.

ya Nate robinson as your starting nba pointguard is going to get real old real fast...

trading curry is a terrible move…

And trade Monta too while we’re at it. Klay has been better than Monta in the SG role.

At least Monta could come in as a 6th man. Curry is best used as trade material at this point to grab us a reall baller.

Can we just agree when Curry costs us the game?

People have no problem putting the blame on Monta.
But when its Curry, Monta played a role in it too. Curry shot the first three(?) shots of OT and messed up everything…
If Monta did that, blame would be all on Monta.

Rebounding cost us the game

Dude we had a chance to win.....at the end of the day it was Curry's poor OT shooting.

He just kept jacking up shots and missing them terribly.

if we had rebounded at ALL

we wouldn’t have to rely on curry jacking up shots

there probably wouldnt have even been an OT

Staticlysmic - February 4, 2012 reply

curry + rebounding

people have trouble blaming curry cause hes a 3rd year golden boy high draft pick

I like Monta over Curry, but when Monta costs us the game, I won't blame it on Curry.

Just take the reality. The “future of the team” (Curry) is not really the future. And if it is, well then our future sucks.

but he didn't...

they got outrebounded 55-36…curry was 4-14 with 11 pts 9 assts 5 turnovers…terrible game…but monta was 7-17 with 5 turnovers…terrible game..but neither of them single handedly cost the game….you get outrebounded by 20 on the road you aren’t winning

Curry messed up when it mattered the most, OT. Thus, the game is on him.

I am really tired of everyone being so high on Curry all the time and Monta getting all the flack. Yeah they both sucked, but be honest. Curry messed up this one. I am not afraid to pin the blame on Monta, I just call it how I see it.

when it mattered most...

curry sucked in over time, missed the first 3 shots…but why was that mattering most more than the 3rd quarter when they went down 11…when there was turnover after turnover by monta and the bigs couldn’t get a damn rebound….plus no one else made anything with 3 minute left in ot and warriors down 5 after curry missed teh first 3…i saw monta miss a fadeaway and then a 3 right after when the game was still within reach…its obv you have an agenda against curry and are too biased to have your opinion taken seriously

Its obvious that you have an agenda as well.

Face the facts, we went into overtime, he lost us the game in overtime.

It’s unfortunate that their are people who seem to live to only bash on either Curry or Monta. The crowd that doesn’t even post until one of them screws up.

I don't have a problem pinning the blame on either of them.

I am just tired of people bashing Monta every time..

last season I think there were actually a lot more people bashing Monta. Seems to really have switched heavily towards Curry this season.

They both have been terrible this season.

Monta’s not his usual attacking the basket guy. Don’t know whats wrong.
And Curry does not seem like any kind of future for the Warriors. + His ankle messes things up too.

He deserves it. Its up to him now to show us how good he is and he has absolutely failed time and again.

This guy either shoots well so we forget all his deficiencies, or he shoots poorly and is completely exposed.

3rd year players need to show lots of improvement

especially a supposed franchise player who holds more value then rondo or CP3….

Curry is a GOOD player

He is just put in a bad position because he has to handle the ball so much

thn why is he supposed to be our pg?

Because we have NO TRUE POINT GUARD

I have talked about this all year – the Dubs need a real point guard.

curry is the perfect 6th man

just a good enough ball handler to be a sub combo guard and a shooter. but really nothing else

He's not a sixth man. He's too good a shooter

He is a starting SG who probably needs help on defense if he starts on SG. But that can be solved with better team awareness or a good perimeter defender to take the load off him

He's too good a shooter

?? Plenty of great shooters come ff the bench

Curry is above those shooters though

He shoots so damn efficiently. Plus he’s has vision (just not enough to be a PG). If he could come off more screens and force the defense to make a decision it would be great.

Korver?

He’d be so dangerous off the bench where he doesnt have to worry about being a floor general

Korver can't create his own shot

Curry can.

Curry was put into bad positions

how dare the warriors ask their PG to handle the ball often

Trakrunner - February 4, 2012 reply

He's NOT a PG

If you look at his career his turns the ball over way too much. He is a shooting guard who needs to shoot more.

dude i would love it if they use him like ray allen...

i dont feel comfortable with him as PG…

a ray allen who cannot defend or penetrade. lol.

Guy had 9 assists and 4 to. (and 4 steals mind you)

How dare he not handle the ball well…!

Anybody notice Cousins foul in OT was changed to a lose ball foul on Thompson.

Would have been his 6th

*loose

Yes I did

but whatever, Warriors didn’t lost because of that

Because it was in OT, I probably agree, but we lost because of Cousins effort on the glass

I'll go ahead and blame Mark Jackson

Cousins had 5 fouls. He should have told Udoh to take it to him and get him out.

disguy - February 4, 2012 reply

Yeah, true.

ugh

I blame MJ because he keeps screwing everyone’s minutes. Can’t just keep having completely minutes.

no we need a center

beans is still garbage. no kwame. udoh can play great d but WE CAN’T REBOUND. and we keep giving up second shot opportunities and it’s ridiculous. cuz even if we play a good fg percentage, turnover free, solid 3 pt shooting game, we get killed on boards and it leads to a loss.

and where did wright go?

Bench was playing well

Besides, it’s either him or Rush unless Mark Jackson wants to go small

we did go small and it got us back in the game

nate, klay, rush, dom, udoh

5’9/6’7/6’6/6’8/6’10

Well that unit was playing well

So Wright wasn’t coming back

go small

Mark Jackson is NOT A GOOD COACH.

he was probably trying to think of a new catch phrase during the game.

Benched with the rest of the starters. Just lazy coaching imo.

rush out

ellis in? seriously?

stepN30 - February 4, 2012 via Android app reply

Yeah, that made no sense at all. Curry, Ellis and Lee were garbage and Dorell was fantastic. He shouldn’t have had to ride pine because of our pathetic “big three.”

the micro 3

even facetiously, Lee doesn't deserve to be in the 'big 3'.

None of them do.

(Except maybe Curry) :-)

Rebounding cost us the game

But the bench pretty much gave the starters a chance to win it in OT and they blew it. Horrible game for both Curry and Monta, this ain’t just “one” game Curry will continue his telegraph passes and unable to penetrate, basically useless if his shot ain’t falling. Monta with his bad shot selection and decisions at times when games on the line. They combine for 10 TO, and 2 FT. Where was Lee? Lacob hypes him so much so we can bench him entire 4th and OT when we can’t get a single rebound so we can play Mcguire. Jackson also putted out a terrible Lineup to start OT. Curry, Monta, Klay, Mcguire, Udoh equals no D, no Reb, and Curry missing 3 or 4 shots straight to start it.

have a rec sir

9 assists 4 TO…….. oh never mind… I give up lol

that's not a good stat line for a PG

That’s a 2:1 assist/turnover ratio

9/4 is acceptable, especially for Steph. 4-14 shooting is not.

I agree that his shooting was the problem tonight

but it’s not like his passing hasn’t been a problem

For sure, but this is a game thread: we’re supposed to act as if this the only Warriors game we’ve ever seen!

All I want

is a point guard who can average a 3:1 assist/ turnover ratio. I’d even take a 2.5:1 assist/turnover ratio

Curry shouldn't have been in the game in OT

We lost for a lot of reasons, but he just shouldn’t have been there. He didn’t deserve to be, and Nate did. Nate played through his injury phenomenally, and Curry walked around like he had just been shot. I’m not even sure if Monta should have been there, but Steph really should have been on the bench. I think I would have actually preferred to just continue with the bench on the court. They played way better than the starters did.

We suck at rebounding. We suck at holding on to the ball. We’re pretty bad on defense. We’re pretty damn good at most other things, but that doesn’t matter when you’re as terrible as we are at those 3.

i dont think any of the starters deserved to be in..

but the bench was gassed and nate had an injury or else he probably would have been in….something happened to his groin at the end of regulation and he couldn’t go

he came back part way through OT

a groin injury like that only gets harder to play on the more you sit.

maybe they were gassed, but that wouldn’t explain having 3 of them still on the court to start OT

i dont mind

ellis or curry in ot…but together? no no no….

stepN30 - February 4, 2012 via Android app reply

the bench clearly outplayed them

so why not? the results were not good in the second half when either of them were playing

we went on a huge run WITH THE BENCH

we tied the game back up after being down 3 WITH THE BENCH

the starting guards however built that deficit and commandeered the overtime into an ass-whooping by the KIngs

Curry, Monta, Klay all playing together is a terrible lineup. Not enough shots for all, no defense, can’t rebound.

i hate mark jacksons post game interviews too

i hate him i hate him i hate him i hate him

He makes a weird breathing noise! "ooohhhhhggmm"

Yeah I know

why did we never hear it on TNT

sounds like hes having trouble breathing and is gasping for air all the goddamn time

its annoying

outrebounded 55-36

wow.

how the hell did that idiot tool dmc get 20 rebounds?!

how the hell did that idiot tool dmc get 20 rebounds?!

Cause he was guarding by power forwards

True

Mark Jackson still thinks Kobe is the best player in the game.

Yeah, maybe that’s not how he really feels, but it’s not like he shows me any evidence of understanding metric stats, efficiency, or anything other than PPG.

I don't know what it is,. but Curry doesn't seem like he has any drive.

Nate played through his groin injury. Curry left like he was dying or something. I just don’t see any heart from the kid. Even Monta, no matter how badly he gets hit, tries to play through everything.

Ive thought that for a while now

His rookie year he looked like he really cared , this year he seems bored

What are you talking about? Curry flies around the court like a crazed little kid every night. No one plays with more energy than him.

No one plays with more energy than him.

Wow. Really?

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or you're watching another game.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt and hope that you are just being sarcastic.

i dont think he's bored...

i think the ankle injury is haunting him…he seems to be playing scared and hesitant..you can see it on his contested layups…he is missing all of them right now…

No chance for all star game, did not make the cut for olympics, too scared to ever drive and go up strong cause of ankle etc.

ohcleverhansyou - February 4, 2012 reply

Yeah

It was frustrating to watch as a fan how frequently he went down on that ankle. It must be so much more frustrating for him. It’s got to be getting into his head.

On a positive note...

The logo knew what he was doing with Klay Thompson …What a pick @ 11…wow I’m excited for him…he is going to be GOOD

Unfortunately we already have a bunch of shooters

the problem is not whether he is good or not, the problem is that he does not fill a need. Now we definitely need to trade one of our shooters.

yup

He is a great shooter on a team of shooters. He doesn’t play better defense then most of them, doesn’t rebound as well as most of them, and can’t create a shot for himself as well as most of them. But he is young and has the potential to get better

That shooter is Curry. Reason is Klay has all the tools and speed necessary to stay in front of SGs, unlike Curry.

Klay isn’t also standing on a glass ankle that will sooner or later shatter.

i think Klay's development = monta expendable..

because steph can actually play pg….klay is a legit 6’6..having a pg/sg of Steph/Klay wil lbe lethal.

You still believe Curry can play PG? Im dumbfounded.

are you kidding?

of course I do

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

He lacks the basic skills that a PG needs, thats taking care of the ball, thats passing accurately, and thats being able to penetrate in order to create openings for teammates. How many times has he failed to do the above>?

even during one of his worst performances of the season..

he’s one assist away from a double double…steph is a pg.

Thats like Using Monta's assist count (which is close to Curry's) as reasoning that he should be the PG. NOT GONNA HAPPEN. CANNOT HAPPEN.

Look at his turnovers

You aren’t supposed to turn the ball over that much as a PG. The “top” PGs usually have a 3:1 assist to turnover ratio. Curry has a 2:1 assist to turnover ratio, which is awful for point guards.

Exactly. We are in agreement there.

But that is a great ratio for shooting guards

so if he could just be a shooting guard… I’m dreaming, I know. This team has nobody else to handle the ball

i think he will develop his game / penetration...

he is just absolutely LETHAL from 3…never thought we would have a guy potentially better at shooting 3s than steph…but Klay is an ASSASSIN….he is showing flashes of taking it to the rack and penetrating /dishing…if he keeps getting better in those areas , he will be the real deal. Having good players, even at the same position, is a great problem to have.

Hasn't been that good so far...

Steph gotta show heart like Nate do. Them lazy ass passes aint gone do it. Nate stays out husltling him. Im starting to see why Smart benched him for Acie.

Okay I admit I have been bashing on Curry today,

but lets not get too far ahead of ourselves. lol

Curry no matter what > Acie

Curry shooting lefty > Acie

agree

I want to see his competitive fire. I want to see him WANT to win! Someone get him Mike Singletary as a life coach!

The film room will not be kind to Curry.

What's that supposed to mean?

Curry had an abysmal game..

but it’s pretty unfair to bash him and let monta slide…Monta absolutely killed the team at the end of the third with his turnovers…both he and Steph had 5 turnovers a piece…that is just unacceptable…cannot have 10 turnovers from your starting backcourt especially on the road…combine that with a -20 rebounding disadvantage and I am shocked they were able to not get blowup out / take it to overtime.

blown out

lol no one EVER lets Monta slide on anything

it's pretty obv by this thread that it's the other way around..

everyone calling to trade steph when Monta had a terrible game too

i havent looked thoroughly

but I didn’t see anyone say to trade Steph. I saw people say he had a bad game.

I for one said to trade Steph. lol

scroll up...its there

so 1 guy?

you said everyone…

Yeah but a bash Curry thread is a rarity on these boards

With that being said, Curry did not lose this game alone I agree. But you saying Thompsen is legit after a couple good games when into a 66 game season where he has CLEARLY had more awful games then great ones….

And you criticize others for agendas?

believe me...

i’m not saying he’s a guarantee for anything…I was just like everyone else trashing on Klay when he was bricking everything…bUt i’ve done a 360…I really really like what i’m seeing from him lately…could he turn out to be terrible? absolutely…but I just have a feeling that he’s going to be a good pick…he’s too good of a shooter not to be good in this league…he has an elite shooting stroke.

I'll say it again

He has had absoltely ABYSMAL shooting games this season, more so then GREAT shooting games.

So what have you seen that makes you think “he has an elite shooting stroke”?

The past 5-6 games;...ever since the Cleveland game...

or 1-2 games before the cleveland game, Klay has played well every game barring one where he went 1-4 in like 10 minutes

so based on a 5-6 game sample size, Klay is an elite shooter

K.

Only problem with that is if you go by the first 5-6 games this season as a sample size, you could argue he should never shoot the ball again.

ya those are the first 5-6 game of his pro career...

it’s a little different to judge someone on their first 5 games o f the NBA…ever since he got over the NBA jitters, he has been lights out…and his stroke is lethal…i feel comfortable saying that.

Your are totally out of your mind. Every thread this season almost has been a bash Curry thread

Your are totally out of your mind.

can't see the forest for the trees?

is that supposed to make sense?

Nope

Let’s not forget how horrid Lee was too: 10 pts / 5 reb in 33 minutes, got like five shots blocked, let JT and DMC run totally roughshod.

Wow five shots blocked?

Well, the refs weren’t calling anything tonight. Lee isn’t a banger. Of course DMC and JT beat him up.

Well, it seemed like five. It may have been two. :-)

Either way, he looked small, weak and ineffectual.

He's not a physical player

Refs really hurt him tonight by not calling anything, though that did make the game more fun to watch because there were less stoppages

It means when they go back and look at the tape

Mark Jackson is going to have a lot to say to Steph

Like don’t shoot the ball anymore late in games. Never mind that you are a superb shooter or anything like that.

I don't think those are the things J-Ridah was referring to

or don’t make lazy passes?

Staticlysmic - February 4, 2012 reply

You ever see the movie Blue chips when the 1 guy on the team took money to point shave and the coach went back and looked at the film and realized he was half assing to keep the score close? Thats what its gonna look like Curry did tonight.

I gotta look at the film first

we need.....

javale mcgee

Staticlysmic - February 4, 2012 reply

No way

I’d take him over the pathetic group of big men we have…

From everything I hear, the guy is a head case

plus he’s bad on defense unless he is blocking the shot.

Mcgee is not a headcase.

Hell we definitely need the rebounding.

Things I notice tonight..

Tyler has butter fingers

so disappointing

what happened? Curry looked sad and depressed the whole time. I wonder if he is having personal problems with his wife pregnant? At one point he had a towel over his head and a hand up supporting his head facing against his team while on the bench. He looks lifeless. I hate how there is no rebounding. it really hurts to be so close and miss this one. klay was great and so were the rest of the bench. Warriors must make some changes, even if they keep the current roster.

he got hit on his peiwei

it hurts

ok

maybe you are right. i hope so. he is too young to look so sad and defeated.

He sort of looked like this with the blue towel on his head:

(Tinky Binky?)

LOL

this game felt like a "coach making a statement to his starters" type of game..

i feel like Mark jackson was more about sending a message to Monta/Steph/Lee by benching them the entire 4th…if he REALLY really wanted the W, he could have brought Monta/Lee/Steph back in towards the end of the game…but he seemed disgusted by the lack of effort, reboudning, turnovers and rewarded the squad that got them back in the game…reminds me of that game in Phoenix when Nellie benched Baron in the 4th , except that was a Must win game.

I think we lost the game because of bad rotation

MJ played too many minutes on startes the first 3 Qs

TO Machines are back

Curry + Monta = 10 turnovers

how can this be fixed?

i am truly amazed each and every time they turn it over. these seem like extremely simple errors that are elementary in nature and should not happen so often. is it a mental thing? are they overly confident? they think it won’t happen to them? WHAT IS IT? I really want someone to explain this to me. i can understand once in a while, but constantly seems like more but I am not sure what it is? are they just not skilled enough?

ohcleverhansyou - February 4, 2012 reply

I wonder the same thing

His passing has had flashes of brilliance. But he has made that one handed pass again and again for three years. What. The. Hell.

So many lazy pass from Monta tonight. Feel like he made more than 5 TOs.

I don’t think it is fixable, they are TO machines!

doesn't lazy get embarrassing at some point?

what is so frustrating is that we all know what they can do. maybe they see their passes as good? surely some coach on the staff can point it out to them if we amateurs can see it clear as day.

yeah, MJ needs to get upset and kick his butt when he does it the first time

seriously, else Monta will think it is okay.

Klay played such good D tonight

he was great!

i am so happy for Klay personally. I have loved him from day one. i knew he would perk up. i hope that he can still be happy about his individual accomplishments tonight. i know he is very hard on himself and has trouble with emotions. hopefully his dad or brother will call him and praise him. i think klay suffers from being overly self-critical. he is his own worst enemy. i just get that sense from him through interviews and body language. he has some issues with his dad, i think.

curry

wants to leav gsw and go to charl and that is what will happen!!!

hope not...

either means Charles Jenkins is our starting pg in 2014 or DJ augustine and Boris diaw are future warriors

If they give us their next 2 first rounders that can definitely happen.

Why would anyone want to go to Charlotte?

because they live there?

grew up there?
all of their family is there?

Hometown?

Steph saying he would like to play for the Bobcats at some point in his career

maybe that is what it is

homesick and just over the bay area? i really have a feeling it has to do with his wife. she may not want to be so far from her mom and family when the baby arrives. i just have a hunch what he is struggling with is personal, but it is just a hunch. each loss affirms his desire to just go back home. think about it- this is the first time he left home as he played college nearby where he grew up.

this might be just too much of a change for him without the pay off of enough wins.

His wife aint feeling the Bay.

oh. i knew it was something like that.

I was thinking about what a bad team that is

Then I remember what team Curry plays for now and it makes more sense.

Trade . . .

Monta. For every good thing he does, there are 3+ more things that cost us possessions. I know it was not his fault for this loss but in the overall scheme of things, we need to get rid of his isolation plays. Those isolation plays simply do not work for a weak defensive-rebounding team. Also, we should have stayed with our bench, granted they might have been tired, they showed way more emotion and desire to make plays that counted. Though, they also committed stupid turnovers . . . sigh what am I saying? sigh the life of a Warrior fan. sigh x2

There will always be isolation plays

Sometimes the clock will run down and someone will need to create a shot

I don't remember seeing a ton of Monta iso this game

I don't either. I think hes talking about iso plays in general, but at the end of the day, someone at some time has to take those.

Yes

iso plays in general. I just don’t think he’s strong enough to be an isolation player against a starting five. Now, put him in iso’s against second unit, now we are talking. In short, I would have Monta and B.Rush the first of the bench – together. Instant offense and pretty good D from B.Rush. Win-Win situation. I would probably get crap for sitting Monta but I honestly think it will win us more games. Monta against a second unit on any team.

depends who it is for...

i would probably wait but start playing klay 20-25 minutes a night to see how he improves….but you got to get something decent for monta…he is one of our few big assets that if we were to trade him, must get something better than middling vet/cap space/young non-impactful talent (Jonny Flynn types)

I was hoping to see Curry + Klay at backcourt in overtime

.. make more sense than putting Curry + Monta at backcourt since Monta can’t stop Evans. And, what’s up with benching DW in OT? I thought he is hot??

It is MJ’s fault.

Speculation on my part

Jackson decided he wanted to go with bench cause the starters (other then Wright) were playing poorly. He kept Wright out in order to keep chemistry among the bench unit. But ya….Wright was lethal the first quarter I think it was a bad call by Jackson

first half I meant

I was talking about during the OT

Doesn’t make sense to put Curry and Monta bad with DW is hot. Curry, Klay, DW makes more sense.

no

nate klay and wright or rush makes more sense

Nate was hurt

I can tell..

Nate pulled his muscle or something at the end of 4th.

then why did he play in OT?

Nate? yeah, he played at the end of OT and made airball...

i thought your argument was he was out because he was hurt…

and that’s kinda what happens when you put guys that are cold onto the court, especially those with a groin injury that only gets harder to play with the more you sit on the bench

he was sent back in the last couple minutes of OT and played like he was hurt. another questionable coaching decision.

definitely

but groin injurys get harder and harder to play with if you’re on the bench. you have to keep moving. he should have been out there to start.

exactly. plus the chance of further injury.

Steph was hurt too...?

further chance for injury there

Nate was playing better, and if you’re going to play him at all, it’s best to not have him rest at all.

yeah, MJ shouldn't have done that

I guess MJ was hoping Nate is still on fire to save his butt.

he shouldn't have put Curry out there in the first place

Nate played most of the quarter hurt. He would have been fine.

I think Curry went in because Nate went to the locker room for a bit at the end of regulation.

did he?

i thought I saw him on the bench. I guess we’ll find out eventually

gswscribe said that Nate did go to the locker room holding his groin

but Nate came back out.

ahhhhh

yeah, Nate did

At the end of overtime, he can’t even walk straight. I have no idea why MJ did that.

saw that too although he is such a trooper he would never let on

at least he has some fire when he plays. it is inspiring to me personally, even if it does not result in a basket. he seems so into it. some of the others guys look so sleepy.

Pretty much what you said about Monta can be said about Curry.

I’m not opposed to trading either. Curry should get us something better though.

Warriors Facebook group has dubbed them

The “Dubstitutes.” Not sure how I feel about this branding of the bench squad. I guess it’s better than calling Lee-Ellis-Curry the “Big Three.”

Some TV announcer called them the dubstitutes a couple weeks back..

The Big Three: Only one may have a good game at a time, or all must suck. It is the law.

Pretty much what you said about Monta can be said about Curry.

True 'dat'

If trades are to be made...

it should be all of them.

I'd trade anyone on this team for a quality starting center

Truth

By the beginning next season I think Charles Jenkins would be better at the PG than Curry.

3 years of Curry and Monta as the back court. 3 years of losing. Time to blow everything up. One of them can stay as a mid salary 6th man.

I'm out...leave with my final points....even though it is minority of the fanbase on here...

Steph is a pg….I’ve seen enough of this team with Monta as #1 option…he has shown for 3 + years he can’t carry a team to the playoffs…time to hand the SG spot over to Klay and the #1 option to Steph Curry and see what they can do…there I said it…Trade Monta, he will never be an all star and this team won’t make the playoffs with him as the “franchise player”..Till next time, I’m out Curry haters and Monta Fanboys….GG SAC

keep

monta. Start him off the bench. Lethal.

Ok sounds good. Lets run the offense through Curry like we've been doing, and hope he makes a 180.

Im all seriousness, time is ticking for Steph Curry. He has at most the rest of this season to start taking better care of the ball and playing like a PG should.

As for Monta, no question, he is destined to be a bench player by 2013. A good one too.

I honestly think

He just differs to much to an other player (Monta).

Well, if we only play Curry or only play Monta

At least we can cut our turnover by 50%. Sounds like a plan

good math

hey if we play neither we won’t make any TOs…

oh wait, it doesn’t work like that

humm.. I think it works

at least the bench helped to tie the game on the 4th

oh hell

maybe it does work. i dont know anymore

Look! Nate + Klay played 23 minutes with 0 turnover on the 4th. Doesn’t that make life happier??

it did for a while

then steph and monta came back

did what?

make life happier

oh, you mean the life is happier part?

yeah… then Curry + Monta came back, more TOs!

make life happier?

jeremy tyler

i feel bad for him. i think he seems like a nice kid and was given extremely poor advice to skip his senior year and then go overseas where he did not do well. i think anyone would see that as too much of a gamble. senior year is important on a personal level, too, with graduation and getting a diploma. i am so shocked his parents gave the OK on that one. Dumbest move ever. now he has to pay with that for the rest of his life and has tons of basketball to make up for too. his butter fingers made me sad for him because i could see how hard he was trying. it was heart breaking.

Yeah

Honestly it’s better for a player to go to college and get the experience.

As a side note, apparently the NBA is talking about a rule where players can declare for the NBA right after high school, but will have to stay in college for at least two years if they don’t.

I think Tyler is too offense focus

Monta does lazy pass and Tyler does the lazy rebounding. It is not that hard to grab the rebound and secure it. I think Tyler just can’t wait to do offense move such as pass or shot the ball.

again with the theme of laziness...

i wonder how they can get rid of the pattern of being lazy. maybe it just has to come from within and if it is not there, it never will be. i am beginning to feel that way. i mean as a rookie, how can you be lazy? mistakes, yes, but lazy rebounding is just not good. maybe bad habits from the vets? i really want to figure out what is going on with these guys. so close but no cigar often is really just heartbreaking.

dont take this the wrong way. is english your 1st language?

dubzfan - February 5, 2012 reply

are you talking to me?

Yes, English is my first language. I am not sure what errors you thought I made to imply I was not an English language speaker. It is a pretty rude comment, either way.

picknpop - February 5, 2012 reply

he was talking to ilovewarriorgirls

see how his response is indented the same distance as yours? means it was a reply to the same comment you responded to. if it’s directly below yours and indented, then it is a reply to you

Brownie13 - February 5, 2012 reply

oh, ok. you are right. i didn't realize that about the indentations. thanks!

picknpop - February 6, 2012 reply

that sounds like a good rule to me

two years is a good amount of time to gain basketball skills, have time to mess up a little, and have some fun with friends and grow socially. although these guys get paid a ton of money, they do have lots and lots of pressure that is not fun to deal with no matter who you are. they need to thicken their skin in college where it does not mean as much as in the nba.
