OPEN THREAD: Game #69: Warriors @ Jazz
Warriors (W-L): 32-36
Jazz (W-L): 43-23
Time: 6:00PM PST tip off
WHEW!
Let's keep this party rolling! Tonight we look to stretch our 3 game win streak to 4 as we face off against the Jazz in Utah. With the regular season coming to an end, our boys are in a dogfight with a handful of teams for that coveted 8 spot.
EVERY. GAME. COUNTS.
That being said, we certainly have some obstacles ahead of us. Our next games after this? The Wizards, The Lakers, The Spurs, The Suns, and a partridge in a pear tree. We're going to have to take this one game at a time.
We all know that this Jazz team is no laughing matter. Sitting atop of their division and comfortably in the playoff race; not only are they are not only a problem for us tonight; if we have things our way they'll be a problem for us later.
It's time for our talent to shine. Tonight, along with the next few games should set the stage for how we are going to close this regular season out. Who knows, we may end a certain drought along the way...
Vegas Odds: Utah by 7. Honestly, I see where they are coming from. We're in Utah's house (actually temple), and they are coming back from a long and disappointing road trip. But I think Vegas is underestimating our hunger.
Big picture? We need this game WAY more than the Jazz. And as long as our squad realizes that, I smell an upset tonight.
GSoM Prediction: A very hungry Warriors by 4.

Warriors by 1
Maybe Nellie can try that 1-2-2 zone again. It stunned and confused the Jazz big time earlier in the season. Jax at the top of the zone with his crazy length and smarts could be just the trick to collect the W tonight.

jazz by 18
jazz by 18. warriors get within 7 at one point, but then mehmet okur drains a 3, then pietrus turns the ball over at the other side, and harpring hits an easy J to ice it for good.

I'll have to wait for an Eminem tour called "Not being re-re-re-retarded" or something before I can make a nice snappy comeback though, I guess.

yep, the word "most" is still a superlative. For a second there I thought the rules of English changed overnight, but it looks like it's still safe to call this the MOST retarded thing I've ever heard.

I won't gamble
I'm just happy that we're still talking playoffs. I've been a DIE-hard Warrior fan since Sleepy Floyd's 29 pts in the 4th quarter, yet I've honestly given up on this time at least twice this year. I agree with most of you, a win tonight will give them team seriosu confidence going into the playoff push. A loss tonight won't do any damage to our overall playoff hopes. The real important games are the ones against the elite at HOME. If we win today, that would be gravy. Having said that, I'd love to take this one.
Hey Utah fan, still having nightmares about 1987 and 1989 first round playoffs disappointments? Karl tried to elbow Bol out of Salt Lake but Manute's swats got in the way each and every time.

KARL WHO?
If you watched KARL's game as much as I did when JORDAN and the BULLS ripped their hearts out in the finals, you would have noticed how he shifted his pivot feet all the time! He never got called for it, but it was pretty obvious. One other move he did great was catch a pass around the free-throw line, while taking 2 steps w/o dribbling the ball. Now that takes skill to travel the same way all the time!
Anyways, I just "loooooooved" KARL MALONE, so I must apologize for my outburst!
The W's will match up great against the JAZZ. BARON and MONTA will shut down DERON. BIEDRINS and AK47 are a squash! HARRINGTON out rebounds BOOZER. JAX covers OKHUR in deep range, and goes deep on him on the other end!
WARRIORS BY A GAZZILLION!!!
Okay, W's only by 25: 103-78!

Dude the refs made some bad calls
Refs went on a power trip in the 4th...
That kind of offiating is just the thing to stop the Warriors. Grind the game to a screetching halt. Great for Utah though.
Sigh. Rough 4th to sit through. This just means we have GOT to come out and rock the Wiz at home. The playoffs are looking a whole lot farther away now. Funny how one game can do that. Lol or maybe im just down becuase of the loss.

Watching that last 3 minutes made me sick. I want to punch a Harpring. . .and a ref.
Maybe I'll find some city league game tomorrow, any sport, and just heckle the refs just to take out my frustration for this game.

I think that is mostly your answer
yes we do
I did watcdh the game as I watch them
The Warriors for the most part run and shoot 3s
This is a big reason why they don't get to the line
Don't get me wrong there were bad calls in this game but still they lost the game with their shooting in the second half and not being able to stop the Jazz
