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.

Stephen Curry: Is going to become the best pick and roll guard in the NBA since Nash and Paul. His work last night with Chris Hunter was incredible. If Curry can find the seams against the best defense in the league, working with a D-leaguer, what can’t he do?

Curry to Watson: Warriors 108 Hawks 104

“Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.” – Silvio Dante, quoting Michael Corleone.
At 6:05 of the fourth quarter, Stephen Curry received the ball under his own basket, looked up court and threw a 70 foot chest pass that hit a double-covered CJ Watson in the hands for a layup. This sensational play capped a 16-0 Warriors run that tied the game at 95, and sent the Oracle into delirium. And thanks to the good folks at Golden State of Mind, the Thaiblonde and I were right in the midst of the madness. We were eight rows back behind the backboard jumping up in joyous disbelief as Watson caught the ball over his shoulder and layed in the reverse.

Pre-Game Jitters: Spurs
December 16, 2009 · Leave a Comment
After that last road trip, my jitters are getting bad. And now my computer is shrieking non-stop that the Warriors are in trade talks! Horrors! Is it too early to hit the Lagavulin?
What I need is a home game against a nice soft team like… the Spurs? The same Spurs that took a shellacking against the Suns last night, and are going to come into the Oracle mad as hornets and with their ears red from a Pop tongue-lashing? Instead of a nice restorative Scotch, I’m being served a double oy latte. The Spurs are a +5 road favorite against the Warriors tonight. Oy. Oy.

Monta vs. Kobe! The Lakers invade the Oracle tonight. We’re hoping that the newly super-charged Warriors can get an upset win, but let’s be real, all eyes will be focused on the battle of one-named wonders. Can Monta do to Kobe what he did to Brandon Roy?

Corey Maggette
The Warriors’ sixth man could be getting set for a big year. After a year in Nellie’s system, and hopefully injury free, I expect Maggette to start this year as fast as he started last year slow. (more…)
