I watched two thirds of the Warriors – Rockets game last night before turning the channel. There was a Milwaukee Bucks game on.     Continue reading →

Yes! : Bucks 120 Warriors 98

Posted on March 16, 2012 by feltbot| 69 Comments

Yes!  This is what we’re supposed to be rooting for, right? Getting Joe Lacob his lottery pick back? If not, I’m confused.             Continue reading →

Burn the Memo: Celtics 105 Warriors 103

Posted on March 14, 2012 by feltbot| 93 Comments

The scrap-end of this Warriors team has apparently not gotten the memo. Don’t they know how badly Joe Lacob wants his lottery pick back?         Continue reading →

Two the Right Way: Warriors 111 Mavericks 87 + Warriors 97 Clippers 93

Posted on March 12, 2012 by feltbot| 125 Comments

Did the Warriors win these last two games because they suddenly decided to play with energy?  Because they suddenly felt like competing?

Or was it because of something else?       Continue reading →

Top-Down Incompetence: Grizzlies 110 Warriors 92

Mark Jackson did everything possible to lose this game, and in the end he succeeded in spectacular fashion.  He spoonfed this loss to his Warriors team.  Continue reading →

The Running Game Returns: Warriors 120 Wizards 100

Posted on March 5, 2012 by feltbot| 60 Comments

Obviously, this game settles nothing in the debate over what ails the Warriors. It was the Wizards, one of the most wretched teams in the NBA, if not in NBA history. I like precisely one player on their roster, Trevor Booker. (He’s currently on my injury-ravaged fantasy team, competing for minutes with Mr. Nightmare.)

Did the Warriors three point shooting return because the first two shots went down? Because the law of averages dictated that it had to return at some point? Because the Warriors were inspired by the Return of the Prosthetic Son?  Because they were playing against the Wizards, and the worst perimeter defense in the league? Or because they knew they were playing against the Wizards?

Or was it because for the first time in the last 6 games they actually pushed the tempo, found an offensive rhythmn and got open looks?   Continue reading →

Fire Mark Jackson: Raptors 83 Warriors 75

I shouldn’t bother to write anything about this game. I forgot to record it and only caught the 4th quarter. But I can’t help myself.

Here are my game notes, derived chiefly from the box score:    Continue reading →

The Mark Jackson Disaster: 76ers 105 Warriors 83

Posted on March 2, 2012 by feltbot| 40 Comments

After this blowout loss to the 76ers, Mark Jackson once again threw his Warriors team under the bus.  ”We didn’t come out of the locker room [at halftime] with the right mindset,” said the Preacher.  For once I might have to agree with Jackson.  The Warriors came out of the locker room with the wrong mindset entirely.

They came out of the locker room with the wrong lineup, the wrong philosophy, and the wrong gameplan.                Continue reading →

Walk This Way: Warriors 85 Hawks 82

Posted on February 29, 2012 by feltbot| 47 Comments

Two Warriors games, one a 24 point blowout loss to the Pacers, the other a gritty 3 point win against the Hawks.  Notice anything similar about these two games?

How about the Warriors offensive output?  An average of 81.5 points a game. Continue reading →

Monta FTW: Warriors 106 Suns 104

Posted on February 22, 2012 by feltbot| 117 Comments

Great, gutsy short handed win in Phoenix tonight.  One thing that’s never mentioned is that it is really difficult to win on the road on the last game before the all-star break.  This Warriors team, no matter how they are struggling, always plays hard.  Always has played hard, even when they were down to 6 man rosters in Nellie’s last couple of years.  That’s a credit to Monta Ellis, first of all, and Curry and Lee now as well.

Quite a few recent themes of mine surfaced in the play of this game.  Let’s run through them, starting with Monta’s game-winner:    Continue reading →
