OPEN THREAD: Preseason Game #2 - Warriors vs Lakers

I predict Brandan and Stephane to get some burn this game. I hope it is Nellie's intention to play the older guys the first game. Then play the Rooks the second game. Sort of as an observation game. Maybe he told the rooks to pay attention to the vets and see how they move in a live game. Then when it is their turn, they get extensive burn. Hopefully, even if we are getting blown out, he sticks with the Rooks instead of subbing in the vets. Like he did last game except he stuck with his vets.

Is it just me or did anyone else think Tierre Brown sucked that game. He had a couple nice drives, but he constantly was beat by his man on the perimeter. He turned the ball over as well.

I was impressed to see Croshere still got the hops. His shot wasn't falling but its nice to see his rugged interior rebounding and strong D. I love the hard contact foul that didn't yield an easy and 1 opportunity for Bynum. He went on to miss one of two free throws too! That kind of play did not happen enough last year. If you foul the guy, make sure he can't score as well!! hint hint Mickael!!!

Troy Hudson looked out of control at times early in the game, or maybe i just say that because he missed a couple of shots down low.

Belinelli looks awesome, but bricked badly at times. Get set dude! sometimes you have more time than you think.

Baron, SJax, Al all looked great. No need to comment there. I would love to see Baron dish double digit assists and have Jax dish out maybe 5 a game seems reasonable. i just want Al to do the dirty work down low. Be a crafty defender like Bowen or Horry. He may not get blocks or steals, but you can still be effective nonetheless.

AB, i hope your big toe is feeling good. I'd hate a nagging injury to be prolonged a couple months. He looked like his usual self out there. although i wish i could have seen him get more touches and a look at that turnaround jumper he's been working on.

Kelenna, man you look good out there. did you all see that drive down the middle of the lane into a Laker big man? He drove him back with body contact at least 3 feet! Strong dude. Makes me want to make a poster saying "J-RICH WHO?" (Okay i won't take any more shots at the jrich man love we have on this site. i promise. maybe)

POB, yes, POB. That acronym takes on new meaning now. Although just one pre-season game, its nice to see the warriors for once getting rebounds in traffic over guys like Bynum and Turiaf. Did you all see him change Kobe's shot at least twice and force Kobe to pass the ball out? i sure did. Awesome, he must have more length then people thought.

Brandan, Stephane, 19...oops i mean KOSTO, haha. get ready for your time to shine. did anyone see the warriors blog video, i believe it was day 7. when the warriors met with kids from Hawaii, brandan was shaking some kids hand and he must've been standing 10 feet away! no joke, his arms ARE AMAZINGLY long.

Look forward to listening to the game tonight. peace guys.

did you see monta acting like his normal self? hope he's feeling much better

Darn Tivo.  I should know better than to trust the "tv guide" say that an NBA game will take only 2.5 hours.  I let that slide and scheduled Monday's game anyway.  And wouldn't you know it, the darn thing stopped recording with 10 seconds left.  Frick!

I wonder if Nellie's playing mind games with Wright and Lasme by keeping them on the bench.  Rookie!  Like the POB treatment last year.

Click play on the second box.
It was showing LA news when I tried.

Supposedly the kid shows live feeds

thanks though!

go clips.  oh yeah, they ain't here.  oh well, some island scouting of lakes & dubs will have to do...

only 1 turnover.

oh, is he hurt now?

Gs 81 - La 68

3rd qtr 7:04

GS 88 - LA 75

sounds like he's been good at hitting cutters.  that's always a plus.

centers and PF's in the high post area, passing to cutting guards

POB with 4 assts

As I've said before...Nellie bigs have the responsibility to distribute the ball and facilitate the offensive play.

Very nice to see POB picking up and executing this concept.

Questions? Complaints?
