OPEN THREAD: Game #23 - Warriors vs LA Fakers

warriors-lakers.jpg

Warriors (W-L): 12-10
Lakers (W-L): 13-8
Time: 7:30pm PST
TV: FSN Bay Area + ESPN
Radio: KNBR 680

Can you hear the drums? You know the pounding beat of the evil horde coming into town? Tonight we face the team I despise the most, the LA Fakers.  Yea that's right ... they're evil and it's only fitting that they come into town the same night "I Am Legend" opens up in theatres. Did you read that book by Richard Matheson (same author as `What Dreams May Come')? Well if you didn't, let me quickly paraphrase what happens in my own Golden State of Mind kind of way:

What's scarier, this or Kobe against the Warriors?

Chapter 2: Cornered in our house!

Let me begin my story by setting the scene where we last left off. 5 nights ago, battered and bruised by the vicious vampire gang in LA known as the "Fakers", our beloved Warriors retreated home. Finally, after some rest the Warriors were in their house ... and their house is known as the Roaracle! And this game of basketball ... well that's their only means of survival, life. (Are you digging the metaphors?)

It was nearing sundown and their adrenaline began to pick up. Anticipation beaded down Baron's face, symbolizing his desire to beat the evil Fakers, and lessen the gap on the standings. Warm from the shootaround, Baron rallied the team for one last hurrah in the middle of the court as time neared.

"Beans, you have to get the boards tonight, or else we're gonna die out there".

"I'm trying but that one guy ... Bynum ... he's pretty big and scary" Biedrins tried to use his accent to hide his fear, but it was as apparent as Nellie's beer breath.

"I don't want to hear no excuses man! Last time I heard someone give me excuses ... let's just say I was suspended for 7 games" Captain Jackson cracked a smile and a chuckle.

The mood was gloomy as Monta put his hand on Beans' shoulder for comfort. "They were vicious on Sunday, but now they're in our house".

"Can someone tell me where to find my shot?" After 3 hours of primping his uniform, Troy Hudson stumbled onto the court. "I've seemed to misplace it. Oh and why am I getting phone calls to do interviews for AVP? What is that anyways?"

Just then the hallway doors swung open and a chill blanketed the air. Creeping out, misguided souls wearing Laker jerseys appeared and their faces looked tortured and dark from the smoggy LA air. The Warriors stood defiantly as the ugliest Laker ... let's just call him "Kobe", walked towards Baron. With his fangs glaring he yelled "You and me Warriors. I can take you out single-handedly!"

"Oh NO he DIDN'T" Belinelli yelled as he snapped his fingers in a Z and contorted his head like a chicken.

Pietrus covered his eyes and shook his head in disbelief as he pulled Belinelli to the back of the group.

Barnes stepped forward looking to provoke the situation and replied "You might have driven us out of LA on Sunday, but this is the Roarcle! You are in for a beating tonight!"

So what happens next?  Will the Warriors defend their house or will Kobe and the Fakers take a bite out of the Bay? (Get it? Take a bite? ... never mind)
Stay Tuned to find out ...

Predictions:

  •  Warriors by 8.
  •  Captain Jackson holds Kobe to 25 points.
  •  Al Harrington has an impressive double double.
  •  Monta is the key factor to our victory tonight. 33 points.
  •  Hudson plays 18 minutes and we all keep asking why!?!
  •  Wright and POB play alongside each other for 7 minutes. WooHoo!


Update (Atma Brother #1):
Warriors Win!! 108-106

The curse against the Lakers is OVER!

Stay tuned for the Recap!

Monta's Status?
You included Monta in your predictions... but he's listed as questionable on more than one injury report update this morning.  Do you or anyone else know 100% sure that he will be playing tonight?  Besides wanting him in the lineup, I also got him for fantasy league and he's been playing fairly well for me, but if he's a ? mark still, I'd rather play someone else who is guaranteed to pay dividends.  Thanks in advance for any real updates.

by david240z on Dec 14, 2007 8:52 AM PST reply actions   0 recs

From my professional sources ...
I'm 100% certain I have no freaking clue. I have a feeling he'll be playing, and have a great game ... but looking at my past perdictions, I'm sure he won't even show up to the roaracle tonight!

Wow, that's a lot of help isn't it =)

Must-win game
losing this game means we just gave the Lakers a 4 game advantage and we all know they'll be one of the teams at the end claiming for those last couple playoff spots.

Also, you forgot on your prediction which unknown player blows up tonight. My prediction: Farmar.

T-hud sucks
i think kobe's gonna come in trying to do too much to prove that nobody can stop him like he was stopped last game.  That will be the end of the lakers.  plus the way the warriors laid an egg in the last game against the lakers they better be ready with energy.  I swear to god if i see troy "i got no balance" hudson tripping over his own feet in the open court again i'm gonna break my tv.  Is it just me or does t-hud just look like a drunk dude with no balance as he runs up the floor.  like that old snoop video where they drop him off in the morning at the end of the video and he can't walk straight he just stumbles towards his house. Also we need a better nickname for t hud than the one i just tried to give him.  you guys are much more creative than me. help out

dang
Don't be fooled by the score- we're playing HORRIBLY.

Defense:
HOW MANY TIMES has Ellis abused Fisher? Will someone tell Monta that wild flopping DOES NOT WORK on the perimeter? Can he grow some balls and shut down DEREK FISHER? To make matters worse, playing him at the 2 means Baron has to bang with bigger guys and take more punishment. Ellis is a liability, don't believe the flash.

Rebounds. Nellie finally grew a brain stem and played Al and Biedrins together, cutting down on some of the second chance opportunities.

Bynum? Will the guards please come back on defense  and BLOCK OUT? At least get a body on him? If Bynum is in the paint BE READ TO CRASH DOWN and stop the alley oop!

Memo to our pansy defenders: if you're gonna foul, FOUL HARD or get the f- out of the way!

Offense:
HELLO? DO WE HAVE A PLAN? HOw many contested pull-up jumpers have we taken? There is no excuse for a PUTRID half of offensive execution.

RUN SOME PLAYS.

We have gone to Harrington with success- GET HIM THE BALL on the elbow or the post. Keep going to it.

Move off the ball, cut backdoor, if you're dribble into traffic, SLOW DOWN, don't penetrate all the way, stop and kick earlier, knowing the lakers are waiting for us.

Jack? WTF are you thinkin? A bullet pass leading Mbenga, and then a drive-and-kick into the crowd. Please. We love your random isht, but SOME control would be nice.

Pietrus: YOU ARE NOT JORDAN. STOP PLAYING LIKE YOU THINK YOU ARE MJ. You do not shoot on offense unless it's a kickout corner 3.

NELLIE: GET PIETRUS AND ELLIS OFF THE FLOOR

Man, we are a NO-IQ basketball team

Nellie needs to earn that raise he got.

This game is flat-out ugly so far. Too many free-throws to get our running game started.

The FSN crew showed the graphic for the Warriors' ~84% FT for the past 5 games. We've been shooting horrendously for the past couple games. Are FT and FG mutually exclusive all of a sudden?

great
The team has heat up a bit, but three HUGE mistakes by Ellis:

Toward the end (JVG called it), unnecessary gambling  into the passing lane he wasn't gonna get into, Farmer wide open j.

With the score 67-67, Ellis leads a 2 on 1 break, misses Al or Azubuike on the opposite side, settles for a pullup- BRICK

A few posseessions later, with nothing apparently in his way, he loses the ball to Fisher, who dishes ahead for a breakaway layup for walton.

WHEN WILL THE STUPID MISTAKES END?

I can find another guy who can hit midrange J's- WITHOUT critical  mental lapses.

it feels really good to have the monkey off of our backs. The guys really stepped up late in the fourth. PROPS to Baron for not fouling out. PROPS to Nellie for not getting a tech on that "steal" then foul by Harrington, PROPS to Al for keeping us in the game. Seriously, for a stretch there, he was the only good thing going for us.
WELCOME TO THE GUN SHOW!

nman
that was SUCH a lucky win

i'll take it, but all the mistakes that we normally make only once or twice a game, we made a dozen times

i'm fearful for the future

but i'm happy since the jazz also lost

lucky win
wasn't in this season earlier some unlucky lose?
-i agree that 48% 3pts is more result of luck
but wins like this building a team and helping to players develop them game more cool minded and make better decisions

You know how the saying goes...
Tis' better to be lucky than good sometimes...

I hate it when the dubs show that they're good enough to win, but don't.  This feels good.  Besides, moral victories are for suckas.
Right?

Best duo since...

Baron throwing up the three fingers...
...after draining the shot, then he flashes them dead into the camera with a grin as it pulls into a closeup. He's so cocky he knew where his camera was, and damn if it didn't feel good.

just got back from the game
man, what energy from the crowd in the last few minutes. interestingly, there were was like 1 laker fan for every 4 warrior fans. a group of them next to us and one girl tells her friend, "luke walton is the HOTTTESST guy on the team. he's SO hot."

My favorite anti-Kobe moment
Jack slams Kobe's attempted shot out of bounds. And in the process makes Kobe strain his groin, leaving him useless  and the Lakers floundering for the rest of the game.

Mbenga vs. Foyle
Seeing Foyle blocking shots, saw a nice one against G. Wallace, and seeing Mbenga trying to take on that role (he played the stone hands part well in the first quarter) got me thinking: what are the major differences between the two?  Besides age, they are similar players, block shots, hustle, get boards.  So if Foyle hadn't been given such a bloated contract, would he still be around?  If Murphy hadn't been given ludicrous money, couldn't he be doing what Croshere does better?  Just a thought...

by belli nellie on Dec 14, 2007 11:59 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

the difference
is that we don't need to pay mbenga hella money

that picture is one I'll never get tired of looking at.  and that was one game I wish I could have been at.

matt barnes
he might get suspended a game or two for his hit, but i love it

The refs are gonna dick us and call all the tick tack fouls, you need to LAY SOMEONE OUT and make the other team PAY

Just like after Ellis got TORCHED by fisher all last game and this first half, he finally got one (yeah, just one) back on Fish by ripping the ball away.

Matt Barnes
I totally agree.  The way the refs were calling the fouls, you'd think we were playing in LA.  The play kind of looked dirty because of how Turiaf landed but I think it was just a good hard foul.  I mean if he doesn't foul him hard enough, Turiaf would have probably dunked it.

That was a
great game, very exciting especially when Baron hit that huge 3. Officiating was very questionable at best but for this once the good guys won. Fisher was flopping the whole game and got rewarded for his acting. That Barnes foul was pretty crazy.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
jus got bak to my dorm rite now and i (silently) went hella crazy for a sec wen i checked the score.  that's how the nite should end.  yeeeeeeeeee

quite a game by the dubs
another sweet comeback. i hope like crazy we get our shot back during the road trip.

man, is it just me or does monta just never smile during a game?? i'm rewatching the game right now and all the dubs players are cheering after baron's 3 put them up 4 but kid didn't even crack a smile. it's weird

baron = mvp

Great Team Win
Warriors pulled it out because Monta hit some big midrange shots, Al kept hitting without getting pissed about not getting the ball, because Biedrins stays active even without getting the ball, SJax played great D and still hit a couple of big shots and because Baron was the man in the 2nd half.

Best stats were THUD DNP and Pietrus 10 mins.  

Worst moment?  Al with a weak reach with 8 secs left and the W's leading by 4.  Why?  Doesn't anyone on the sideline say "no fouls"?

Still a great win.

Nothing better than "The City".
