OPEN THREAD: Game # 17 - Warriors vs. Magic

-Dubs score 37 in 1st quarter
-Howard gets 20 boards and a frustrating 20 pts (will say shoulda had more)
-Turk & Shard shoot the Magic out of this one
-Monta makes a top 10 play of the night
-Dubs by 8, with another 4th quarter lock down job
-Magic fans across the net will complain about how their team saved their worst shooting night for tonight.

Best duo since...

At any rate... woohoo, vegas actually gave us the edge on this one... this after a gimme bet when they only gave the sonics 4 points.

I thinks this game will tell us a lot about our team that we are not completely sure about. Phoenix, and Houston are two very diff teams that allowed us to see what we were made up, and the Magics are definitely another one of those teams that has a different combination that can potentially be deadly for us. I cant wait to see who Nelly throws out on the court to start and how we fair.

Go Warriors.

Through thinNthinN?

• Foyle is garbage. He averages less than 10 minutes per night. The Orlando coaches aren't gonna play him because some people in Oakland actually like the guy as a player. He isn't getting a double-double or outscoring Howard.
• Biedrins didn't produce offensively against Orlando last season, though in one effort he did have 15 boards. In that game, Howard went for 30 and 25(!) and the W's lost.
• HOWEVER, that game was before The Trade.
• I like the idea of putting Big Al on Howard.
• As stated above, this isn't a "statement game." They don't play statement games in early December. It is, however, a good chance to see the Warriors play one of the better teams in the East, and a good road team, and see what they're made of in this still early season.
• Orlando only shoots 0.3 less 3's per game than the W's and they score 103+ per game. This should be a high scoring affair, which is exactly what the W's want.

Note: Howard 3pts/ Turkoglu 8pts/ Lewis 4pts
The Warriors are beating themselves with a very poor shooting .353 against Magic .511. Hope the Warriors will find their range.

IOFHWEOIHFEOIYIPEEEEEE

YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

lol go warriorssssssss

Stephen Jackson is on fire, we have the ball and clock on our side and that's the best shot you can take? Our WORST 3P shooter on the floor jacking up  a shot several steps behind the arc? GO TO THE RIM

ATTACK THE BASKET

yeah, he's the future

great effort all around though, but its stupid we didn't win that

Cap'n Jack tried too hard and in process turn over the ball 4 times in OT. Well, you can't win them all.

that has absolutely nothing to do with it

i don't care if the score is tied, or if we're down 30

there is no scennario where the QUICKEST guy on our team and WORST 3P shooter should be jacking up a prayer like that

NO Excuse NONE i dont care what the crap intangible isht you believe in

there is only ONE basketball play to make, and that is to take a shot at the rim and get fouled, you only need to hit 1-2 to win it
