Poorly Constructed: Thunder 116 Warriors 97

Posted on April 11, 2013 by feltbot| 53 Comments

I think we can all agree after this fiasco that the one team the Warriors don’t want to see in the playoffs is the Thunder. They simply match up horribly against them. In this game, the playoff-ready Thunder ruthlessly exposed every major hole on the Warriors’ poorly constructed roster.          Continue reading →

Bogut Check: Jazz 97 Warriors 90

Posted on April 8, 2013 by feltbot| 129 Comments

It’s been difficult to recap Warriors games recently. Not just because I was out of town, but because we’ve entered the silly season. That time of year when many bad teams have simply given up, and many good teams are resting their stars, and fantasy league owners are asking themselves questions like, “Should I start Lebron James?” Most of the games the Warriors are playing right now, and will be playing up until the playoffs, are meaningful only to themselves.

This was not such a game. I’ve had this one marked on my calendar as a game that could serve as a benchmark of the Warriors’ progress, because both teams needed it, and both teams wanted it. And, in what has been an extreme rarity in Warriors’ opponents this season, Utah was at close to full strength. Continue reading →

Home Cooking: Warriors 105 Pistons 97

Posted on March 14, 2013 by feltbot| 76 Comments

Nothing like a couple of home games against wretched teams to cure what ails the Warriors.  The Knicks without Amare and with Melo on one leg, and the Pistons without… eh, it doesn’t even matter who they were without. They’re the Greg Monroe Pistons. Soft as a marshmallow, and about as quick as one too. Continue reading →

Klay in the Clutch: Warriors 87 Kings 83

Did either of these two home wins against the wretched Toronto Raptors and Sacramento Kings inspire you with confidence?            Continue reading →

I See Dead Centers: Sixers 104 Warriors 97

Posted on March 2, 2013 by feltbot| 100 Comments

What do the Philadelphia 76ers have in common with the Golden State Warriors?

Both of them have over $13 million in dead center stinking up their benches. Both of them have GMs who were suckered like amateurs into giving away valuable trade assets for corpses.    Continue reading →

All Eyes on Curry: Celtics 94 Warriors 86

Posted on March 1, 2013 by feltbot| 53 Comments

I’ll get to Curry in a moment, but I want to mention first that I thought these were two amazingly competitive efforts that the Warriors gave on the road against the Knicks and the Celtics, two of the better teams in the Eastern Conference, regardless of record.

Particularly given the fact that they didn’t have David Lee in either game. Continue reading →

Jack: Warriors 100 Timberwolves 99

Posted on February 24, 2013 by feltbot| 51 Comments

Once again Jarret Jack put this Warriors team on his back and gave them the inspiration to gut this win out. Came in with the Warriors on the verge of getting blown out of a 12:30 start in a February road game, immediately called his own number on three straight threes — burying all three — and dragged his sluggish teammates right back into the contest.    Continue reading →

Nellieball Beats Spurs: Warriors 107 Spurs 101

Posted on February 23, 2013 by feltbot| 31 Comments

The Spurs were quite obviously ripe for the plucking in this game. This was their 8th road game in a row, of their annual 9 game “Rodeo” road trip. They were on a back to back, having waxed the Clippers last night in Staples in an emotional statement game. Old man Tim Duncan is essentially playing on one leg, having just returned from a seriously wrenched knee. Kawhi Leonard has a sore knee that forced him out of the previous game. Stephen Jackson was sitting out, having just returned from a personal tragedy.        Continue reading →

A Season on the Brink: Rockets 116 Warriors 107

Posted on February 13, 2013 by feltbot| 71 Comments

I agree with Jim Barnett that the Houston Rockets are “a better basketball team” than the Golden State Warriors. I don’t know how you could come to a different conclusion if you watched their last two games, a 31 point blowout in the Rockets gym, and then this, a decisive 9 point margin on the Warriors home floor, with James Harden barely able to contribute in the second half after badly spraining his ankle.         Continue reading →
