Pre-Game Jitters: Cavs

Shaq v. Turiaf’s knee?

Lebron v. D-league call-up Cartier Martin?

Hickson and Varejao v. Vlad-Rad?

Hmmm. On paper, this game looks like a train wreck in the making. But I’m not ready to write it off before it happens. There are several positives for the Warriors in this game. Beginning with Don Nelson. Nellie has found some great game plans against teams like Phoenix and Sacramento lately, and I have a feeling we’ll see some more creativity out of him in this game. He’ll be matched against Mike Brown, in my humble opinion one of the worst coaches in the NBA. His GM seems to share that opinion, having forced an offensive coordinator down his throat in the off-season. Continue reading →

Monta Ellis, Superstar: Warriors 108 Kings 101

Posted on January 9, 2010 by feltbot| 9 Comments

Mysteriously, for most of this game Sacramento played very little of the double and triple teaming zones that the rest of the league has been been employing against Monta Ellis. And for most of this game, Monta made them pay the price with ruthless efficiency. Driving the ball again and again, Monta scored on 15 of 29 attempts and got himself to the line for 8-8 free throws, on his way to 39 points.

Gut Check: Warriors 107 Timberwolves 101

Posted on January 7, 2010 by feltbot| 11 Comments

The Warriors stumbled over the finish line last night, nearly obscuring just how much better they are than this ridiculously bad and mismatched Timberwolves team. The Warriors lost their legs in the third period, but were able to dig deep in crunch time to preserve the win. A gritty performance on a road back-to-back in Minneapolis in January.

Cheated: Nuggets 123 Warriors 122

“Fair is foul, and foul is fair.” — Macbeth I,i.

Bill Spooner, Jason Phillips and Mark Ayotte are the three refs that cheated the Warriors out of this win tonight. If they are going to take it on their shoulders to change the outcome of an NBA game in the final seconds, then I think it’s only right that they get full credit. Continue reading →

Big Again: Warriors 103 Celtics 99

Posted on December 29, 2009 by feltbot| 8 Comments

Back to back games with a real NBA center available. Back to back games in which the Warriors looked like a real team. Back to back great wins against two of the best teams in the league.

Coincidence? Virtually every Bay Area sportswriter and blogger, not to mention every NBA writer on the planet, has been telling you that the Warriors are a mess, and that the problem lies with Don Nelson. He’s washed up, he can’t communicate with today’s player, the league has caught up with him, he’s destroying this franchise.

Pre-Game Jitters: Celtics

Posted on December 28, 2009 by feltbot| 1 Comment

The Warriors are +5.5 home dogs to the Celtics tonight, in the return of Andris Biedrins to the Warriors lineup (it’s really happening, right?). This line seems curious to me. The Celtics are one of the best road teams in the NBA, it is true. They had won 9 road games in a row, and 13 of 14, until they lost last night to the Clippers (on a BDiddy last-second dagger. Oh, the memories…!). On the other hand, consider this: The Celtics are without Paul Pierce. They are an old team, and they are playing a back-to-back on the road. It is the third game of their road trip. Their starters played heavy minutes last night in a close game.

Just Short: Hornets 108 Warriors 102

Posted on December 23, 2009 by feltbot| 13 Comments

This much was made clear by this game: The Golden State Warriors have passed by the New Orleans Hornets in talent. They are the better team. All that is needed now is for the Warriors to get their team back.

In this game, the short-handed Warriors were playing on the road on a back-to-back. They played a 7 man rotation, while the Hornets got contributions from 11 players. They played their power forward at center, their small forward at power forward, and a back-up point guard at small forward. And they gave the Hornets everything they could handle. In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that the depleted and undersized Warriors couldn’t keep the Hornets off the boards, they may well have won this game going away.

Big Man Blues: Grizzlies 121 Warriors 108

Posted on December 22, 2009 by feltbot| 6 Comments

Let’s just call this one B minus two. B as in Beans. The Warriors are counting down the games until their starting center returns to action, and they never missed him more than they did on this night. Because with Biedrins in the middle for this game, the Warriors might very well have come away with the win. Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph steamrolled the Warriors front line for a combined 55 points and 27 rebounds, and came within one of fouling out both of the Warriors “centers,” Chris Hunter and Anthony Randolph.

Pre-Game Jitters: Grizzlies

Posted on December 22, 2009 by feltbot| 4 Comments

The Warriors are +7.5 road dogs to the Memphis Grizzlies? Wow, when is the last time you saw a Warriors/Grizzlies line like that? Unfortunately, I can’t find much fault with it. This ain’t your grandpappy’s Grizzlies. This team has a loaded starting lineup, and they are really starting to play. In the last three weeks, they’ve beaten the Mavs, the Cavs, and the Nuggets at home. Impressive.

GSoM Party 118 Warriors 109

Posted on December 19, 2009 by feltbot| 2 Comments

The Thaiblonde and I rocked the GSoM holiday party at the Oracle last night. It was great to meet up with the whole crew of GSoM for the first time. Great group of guys, great Warriors fans, great writers. And I also met Dan Turman of Fear the Beard fame. So cool. Awesome time. Thanks, GSoM!

Watching the Warriors play was only the second most fun thing I did at the game, so I’m not going to drop a recap. I did notice a couple of things out of the corner of my eye, though:
