OPEN THREAD: Warriors vs. Clippers -- Preseason Game #7

Warriors (W-L): 4-2 (preseason)

Clippers (W-L): 4-3

Time: 7:30 PM PST (KNBR 1050)


Nellie's announcement of the starting lineup last week was a strange turn of events, further cementing his unofficial moniker as "the joker."  But things get even weirder this week.  Maybe it's because we're getting close to Halloween? Anyway, things get even cookier as we hear that Nellie is going to sit ALL the starters...

...for tonights final pre-season game versus the Los Angeles Clippers that is.

Baron Davis, Andris Biedrins -- your new internet blog buddy, and Kelenna Azubuike will sit for this evenings game allowing Stephen Jackson and Monta Ellis some extra burn.  

Perhaps this is an opportunity for the second team to get a chance to gel together on the courts.  Or perhaps this might be an opportunity for us to get a better look at, Al Thorton, who's been lighting it up -- on the offensive end at least -- during this preseason (who I also thought was going to be a bust but now think is perhaps the ROY), creating a better wing combo with Corey Maggette than anything Wing Stop has to offer (bu-dum-ching).  On that note, they just opened a new Wing Stop down at Pacific Commons in Fremont for all you Wing Stop fans (or is that super old news?).  

At any rate, who cares about this game...its all about GSoM Nite II at the Warriors' home opener!  See you all there!

Predictions:

* Warriors by 11

* Monta only has 5 turnover this game to go with his 19 points

* Frankie Munoz is in attendance, but since he is less relevant now, doesn't get to sit courtside anymore.


Update [Atma Brother #1]: Warriors win their final preseason game 109 to 103.

End of Pre-Season
It would be nice to finish the pre-season at 5-2 and get another win on the road, this time against the Clips to get revenge for our 99-89 defeat at Oracle Arena. I hope that POB and Pietrus can foul less and that Monta can commit less turnovers with the regular season starting soon.

However, being 4 days 'til opening tip
Get your Notorious POB fix in now while you still can!
-
Monta is up to the proposed 5 TO's from just a moment ago sitting on a nice 2. Got his 20 points, ripped 5 steals, dished out 7 assists, grabbed 5 Rodman's and there's still a quarter to go.

Half-Time
Listening on NBA Audio League Pass. Warriors leading Clippers 61-47 at half-time. Monta leads all scorers on 13 ahead of Croshere, Pietrus and Mobley on 11. To go with the 13 points (4-8 FG) (4-4 FT), he has three steals, three rebounds, six assists and just two turnovers. The Warriors have shot 55.3% as a team so far with tidy shooting from Perovic (3-3), Croshere (3-4) and POB (3-4 with no fouls).
It is going pretty well so far even if it is a pre-season game. Hopefully we can win to finish the preseason 5-2 rather than 4-3.

That last stat
is the most encouraging:  POB ended up with one foul in 23 minutes.  Even though Kaman went 8 for 9, this is the first time in many games that POB has avoided foul trouble and played with confidence (note also the 4 for 4 from the foul line).

2 for 2
from the line in crunch time.

Haha
thats 1-1 from three. It looks kinda confusing the way I formatted it.  Sorry.

Also pree added on his live blog that Monta was showing good floor presence barking orders and running the team with poise.

I wonder if he's barking back at
Sam Cassell during any back and forth banter (trash) talk as well.

by back2back51s on Oct 26, 2007 9:25 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah
I would pay good money to hear what some of these guys say to each other during the game. lol.

is the yahoo box score correct??
did the Warriors just put up 46 points in the third quarter??

and Croshere has 11 points in 0 minutes of play?? Amazing.

by jlagace on Oct 26, 2007 9:35 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Looked kind of messed up
the whole way. Saw it stopped in the start of the third with the clippers scoring 11 zip then it reset later as 1-zip from a FT. Checked NBA.com and it was also the same.

46 in one quarter is like that Suns game in the Spring 1st Qtr, lights out!

And I don't see that Java thing they used to have during Reg Season games, "Live GameChannel," Saved a pic from that 40+ quarter of the Suns gamechannel screen since it was that crazy.

I hope I'm wrong
but did i hear something about Ellis rolling his ankle or something right at the close of this game?  

by Anomaly on Oct 26, 2007 10:17 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Yeah,
What's the deal with that?  The webcast had tech difficulties and I missed what happened.  Can anyone post the 411?

Monta is walking around in the locker room under his own power. so i doesn't sound like it was a serious roll
AARRRHHhhh!!! DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU GET CARLA?! DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU MESS WITH THE WARRIOR??!!!!!

Yeah
You can be signed up to whatever team I'm playing on. You could make my crappy play look good, I would have had ten assists tonight if I was there to feed you the rock. =P
