Don Nelson: Can we just take a moment to admire what Don Nelson did in his management of Hunter and Tolliver’s minutes? Rather than match up conventionally, Nellie used Tolliver at center to start the game, pulling Okafor out of the lane. If you want a reason why Tolliver scored 30 points, its because Nellie made him a focus of the offense going at Okafor, not David West.

Lone Star: Mavericks 110 Warriors 101
February 4, 2010 · 13 Comments
The Warriors lost their seventh game in a row last night, and are currently the third worst team in the league, by record. It is easy to get down as a Warriors fan watching this season play out, particularly when the Warriors don’t give much of an effort, as we saw in the Houston game. In this game, however, with the return from injury of Corey Maggette, and the return to dominance of Monta Ellis, we saw the return of the heart and effort that has characterized the Warriors’ play in this most tragic and difficult of seasons. As a fan, I can derive enjoyment from that, even if the result is a loss. (more…)

New Wave: Heat 115 Warriors 102

I’m depressed. It hit me hard when I saw the shots of the Warriors bench in the third quarter last night, that featured more empty seats than players in uniform. It looked like a shot of the crowd at a Nets game.
And that was before I got to watch Devean George at center.

Pre-Game Jitters: Kings
January 8, 2010 · 7 Comments
I’m really worried about this game. The Kings are a heck of a team. No, seriously. In two quick drafts, the Kings have gone from being one of the worst teams in the league, to becoming a playoff contender for years to come. Tyreke Evans appears to be a budding superstar, in the mold of Oscar Robertson. He’s averaging 20, 5 and 5 in his rookie season. Those are holy grail numbers for a veteran. He’s a rookie. (more…)

Gut Check: Warriors 107 Timberwolves 101
January 7, 2010 · 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. (more…)

The Warriors are playing the 7-28 TWolves in Minneapolis tonight. In their last meeting the Warriors won by 41 points, at home. Should be a cakewalk, right? (more…)

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. (more…)

Pre-Game Jitters: Nuggets
January 5, 2010 · 4 Comments
The Warriors return to the scene of the crime tonight in Denver. In their last mile-high game, the short-handed Warriors got blown out by 28. In this game, however, it will be the Nuggets who are short-handed: Chauncey Billups and the Birdman, Chris Andersen, are out with injuries, and Carmelo Anthony will be a game-time decision with a bruised knee. The Nuggets have been struggling without Billups, going 2-6 with him out.

Small Again: Blazers 105 Warriors 89
January 3, 2010 · 5 Comments
As the only team to take the court with actual centers, the Warriors figured to have the size advantage in this game. But that’s not the way it worked out. There is more than one way to have a size advantage in basketball. You can have it the traditional way, on the front line. But you can also have it the way the Portland Trailblazers had it in this game, at the wings. Portland used the size of its wing players, Brandon Roy at 6-7 and Martell Webster at 6-7 to dominate their far smaller Warriors counterparts. The Warriors wing defenders, Monta Ellis, Stephen Curry and CJ Watson, who all go 6-3 in their dress shoes, were completely helpless against Roy and Webster. Roy avenged his terrible performance in Oakland with a brutally efficient 37 points on 12-16. Webster went for 21 and 11. And with the help of these players and Dante Cunningham off the bench, the Blazers outrebounded the Warriors 43-36.

Pre-Game Jitters: Lakers

The Warriors are +11.5 road dogs to the Lakers tonight. This is a sucker line, and I wouldn’t look at it twice unless I seriously believed the Warriors had a chance to win. Which I don’t. If the Warriors lose competitiveness in this game, it could easily turn into a blowout.
