OPEN THREAD: Game # 50 - Warriors @ Twolves

Warriors (W-L): 23-26
Twolves (W-L): 22-26
Time: 5:00PM PST tip off
TV: FSN Bay Area
Radio: KNBR 1050
What's this? A chance to salvage this road trip with a win? A win tonight gets the Warriors to .500 on the road trip and 1.5 games in front of the Twolves for the 9th spot in the West. A loss puts us at 2-4 on the trip and back in the 10th spot. Sounds easy enough...
Kevin Garnett is a beast. I consider him to be a top 5 player, maybe #2 behind Kobe. I know his teams haven't made the playoffs all the time nor have they done well when he gets there, but he's one of the most talented big men around that can do everything for you. When I say everything, I mean everything. Score in the post, score from the perimeter, rebound, block shots, steal the ball, play excellent defense, pass the ball, shall I go on? Anyways, he's scary and I'm not sure how the Warriors will guard him and prevent him from getting 40 points and 20 boards.
The Warriors are coming off a big win in Indy and should be pumped for this game the problem is they have nobody to run the point. Monta is doubtful, Baron is questionable, and Sarunas is garbage. Nellie will have to be creative tonight especially if the Twolves bring some pressure. It could get ugly with lots of turnovers. Let's pray someone steps up.
Vegas Odds: Even (12:48p)
EDIT: ESPN's line is screwy and says Even. So instead, I'm going with Wagerline's +8.5 (2:20p)
GSoM Prediction:
- Warriors by 3
- KG is traded to the Warriors at halftime, puts on a Warriors jersey, and proceeds to tear up his former squad.
- I wake up from my KG dream.

you make him
hopefully, t-wolves dont run a press. i dont expect us to win this one w/o monta, but if we can keep the game close and limit our turnovers, you never know.
KG is the ultimate
by ZombieWarrior on Feb 7, 2007 4:34 PM PST up reply actions
exactly.
he's really the top #2 player in the league.
he'd be perfect on a team full of good players, bulls, pistons, clippers who have game finishers (ben gordon, chauncey billups, sam cassell respectively). or if paired w/ a mcgrady or kobe type.

ESPN is my bookie

warriors in a close one
by tadams1080 on Feb 7, 2007 2:28 PM PST reply actions
warriors by 7 pts
Foyle - 22 minutes, 2 fumbles, 2 pts, 5 RBs, 1 block
Bukake - 17 pts, 4 assts, 7 rebounds
Harrington - 24 pts, 8 rebounds
Today's GSoM Japanese lesson
Also, in Japanese, the word has a perfectly non-perverse connotation. Basically it translates as something like "the works" or "the whole shebang." At my local Soba restaurant, for example, they serve "Bukkake Soba" ...
OK, stop snickering, kids. I'm sure I have no idea what the other meaning could be. :-O
C'mon Warriors, give 'em the ol' "Bukkake"!
ha LOL!

Let's Go Oakland! Gas, Brake, Dip.
From wikipedia
... So let's hope Kelenna makes a big, um, splash tonight!
Sank you very mawsh
Seriously tho, is Soba a Japanese restaurant? If so, where is it located? Do you serve soft-shell crabs? I love those things although my arteries don't. I also love unagi rolls.
Soba = thin, buckwheat noodles
Sorry to say, my "local" restaurant's on the other side of the Pacific, in Tokyo. But there are a bunch of good places for Soba in the Bay Area: Ochame on 4th street in Berkeley is good, if a little upscale; and in SF, I used to get soba at Mifune in Japan Center (Sutter/Fillmore) before movies.
For unagi rolls: there are a zillion and a half good sushi places, obviously. Since this is kind of an East Bay site, I'll recommend Ta-ke Sushi near Lake Merritt: good prices, fresh fish, generous portions. Yoshi's at Jack London square is good too, though I kind of miss the old rickety place on Claremont near College.
On soft shell crabs: I'm no expert, but that place Crustacean on Fillmore was pretty great. Order it with the garlic noodles.
Back on the Azubuike: If he sticks with the team, we will probably have to find a more suitable nickname for him. Kabuki is too obvious, and Bukkake maybe just a bit too racy for a family site...
you said
Usually served in soup with various toppings (tempura, chicken, veggies, bukkake...) though sometimes
I certainly hope "it's" not what I have in mind that is put in the soup.
Back to Kelenna, yes, I agree I need to do some cleaning as this is a PG13 - err, a PG site. So how about simply KAzi or KAzu?
mmmmm....
I will def. check out those other spots you just mentioned though whenever i get back to Northern Cali.

by twelve years on Feb 7, 2007 7:50 PM PST reply actions
i ended up...
Yea, McRoberts sucks. Good college player, won't be a good NBA player. I think Hansborough is gonna be the better player. Both of them have nothing on Brandan Wright. He'd look good in Blue and Yellow! if only....
Just for fun.
Who'd win? GSW vs. University of Florida Gators?
THE BIG 3...
- Lack of free-throw attempts
- Too many three-point attempts
- Lack of rebounding
W's 16 free-throw attempts to the Twovles 26, and W's 26 three-point attempts to the Twolves 16. Although a good % from the free-throw line, once again they took more 3's than free-throws or even attempting to get to the line. They shoot only 23% from the three-point line. If you reverse that attempt line to 16, it would put their % to 38, which isn't great, but probably would have meant they would get to the line more or take a high percentage shot!
And as for rebounding...what more can we say?! The W's were almost out-rebounded by 20 boards! 20 BOARDS!!! KG or no KG, that's inexcuseable! We still need another BIG MAN to pull down more boards. I'm sure it doesn't help when you heave a bunch of 3's and miss, and the Twolves run it down first and get 23 fastbreak points to the W's 19, which is usually the opposite in most games!
The W's definitely have that "inside" presence, outscoring opponents INSIDE THE PAINT more often now, but it seems that we're getting run up and down the court! Hmmm...must be that thing they call DEFENSE that we're lacking!
The W's are still not at full strength, especially w/o their floor leader Baron out there, but the clock is ticking and we definitely need to stop losing to teams that could ultimately take our spot in the playoffs!
WATCH OUT FOR THE FEB. 22 TRADE DEADLINE!!! Who knows who else we can get!
GO WARRIORS!!!
Yes!!!
damn
Nuggets
Wow, so you're saying
The race for the third worst record
Philadelphia 17-33
Seattle 18-31
Milwaukee 19-30
Atlanta 18-30
Charlotte 18-31
Portland 20-30
Sacramento 20-26
New York 22-28
New Orleans 22-27
GS 23-27
New Jersey 23-27
With Sacramento, NY, New Orleans, and Atlanta all playing better basketball than us, we could start to move up that list quickly...
When we get the 1st pick...
