Warriors vs Sonics: We Want Our Mascot Back
Oklahoma City Thunder at Golden State Warriors, Oct 11, 2008 7:30 PM PDT
Warriors (W-L): 1-1
Sonics (W-L): 1-1
Time: 7:30pm PST
TV: None
Radio: KTCT 1050
The Warriors first home game this year comes against the mighty Seattle Supersonics. Even though it's just a preseason game I'm sure fans at the arena will be excited to see how the new guys, the young guys, and the old guy look. But many fans will be angry as 12 guys with Thunder on their jerseys trot out yet none of them will be doing flips, throwing out free t-shirts or walking on their hands the length of the court. Something is wrong with that. Like someone said in the comments awhile back, we should take the Sonics mascot now that ours has been stolen. It's not like Seattle needs him. Well at least lets borrow him for this game. Or maybe Thunder will make a guest appearance and show the Thunder how to be Thunder and bring the thunder.
Predictions
- Warriors win by 12
- Jax and Maggette combine for a whopping 35 minutes
- Anthony Randolph plays well except for his 3 turnovers
- The 3 headed PG of Dickau, Williams, and Watson remains a mystery

So in order for us to watch OUR Warriors play at OUR home, we have to go online to find a broadcast from the team that stole OUR mascot? How messed up is that?!?

Go Warriors!
Let’s beat them bad. Preseason or not, Monta or not. Let’s beat them and bad. GO WARRIORS! In regards to a recent post, I’m working on my attitude on becoming a Warriors fan. I hope that is better, and if not is it at least in the right direction?

The other poster was just messing around. He meant is as a joke since Warriors lose most of the time so you shouldn’t be too optimistic.

Do take back that mascot. They stole it. I used to be a Sonics fan ( I am close to Seattle in Victoria, B.C. Canada ) and now that they moved I hate OKC Thunder with a passion. I hope every team beats them and bad, And one more thing. GO WARRIORS! I feel bad about thte bad attitude in a post, and am doing what I can to make up for it.

Just got back from the game (left early)
Hendrix stole the ball twice and tried to go coast-to-coast twice and missed two lay-ups other than that he was solid.
DeMarcus nelson is good he had a big dunk in the 3rd quarter that had the crowd cheering.
Bellinelli looked good, his passing seems underrated though, he got a screen from Brandon Wright dribbled to the left and then with his right hand did a behind the back pass to Brandon Wright, Wright missed the shot though.
Ronny Turiaf looked good but he airballed a jumpshot 3 feet behind the freethrow line…another thing that Turiaf did was right after Damien Wilkins scored Turiaf passed the ball right back to Wilkins and Wilkins scored again (he was called for a technical cause Turiaf pushed him)
I was disappointed when Anthony Randolph was charged with the block and EARL WATSON got the and-1. Randolph 6-10/ Watson 6-1 i think he should have tried to block the shot…
Left early so i didn’t see Marrow play,
If I am wrong i will respond with a D'Oh

YOU DIDN'T MISS MUCH
w/ Morrow! He hasn’t done much in camp! As much as I’d like a good shooter on the team, it might be better to go w/ DeMarcus Nelson and Hendrix. I’d also consider Dickau since he’s a vet and serviceable. IMO probably better than CJ. CJ = YAAAAAAWN!!

OOPS
First thing Morrow did when he came in was turn the ball over and I don’t even think he had a shot attempt.

went to the game on saturday too.
DeMarcus was good. Got to move up to like the 8th row of mid court in the boo-gee area for a minute to see the dunk close up. That was dope. He represented Bud’s Burgers and the N2Deep Movement.
Marco was a stud.
Disappointed in AR’s performance, but I’m sure he’ll do better when the actual season starts. B-wright looked good out there and I liked how AR played at the same time with him for a moment.
Hope Nelie plays them together for certain matchups.
Hendrix reminded me of Adonal Foyle. He should be a beast with the boards and defense. It was a horrible site to see him go coast to coast on a couple fast breaks.
One thing i noticed while i was talking to my boy about how we don’t have Thunder as our mascot anymore, was…
[ dramatic pause ]
Where were the Warrior Girls? Did they all get laid off with Thunder NOOOOOOO!
Pwah!
They should be back for the regular season right?

demarcus and cj
demarcus nelson and cj watson were both solid tonight. a lot of defense, slightly above average passing, capable of finishing/decent scorers. i think the two of them can do a sufficient job handling the PG position while monta’s out. the only problem is that they can’t really create their own shot, but that shouldn’t be too much of a problem (i hope).
marcus williams on the other hand, im kind of disappointed. he was kind of slow, and only had 1 pass to sjax that was impressive.

by steelekord on Oct 12, 2008 11:47 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
I saw the game....
To answer everybodys question, the game WAS on the air….for people in Oklahoma City.
It was on KSBI-52, a really really crappy independent stations who is used to broadcasting High School football. The game is marred by frequent and comical technical errors and errors by the KSBI guys in studio. It’s obvious that they’re out of their league.
Durant and co. have played horribly in the Pre-Season, so it’s no surprise that Bellinelli looked good. The only guys who have really stepped up are Weezy and Wilkins.
http://nbaokc.blogspot.com/2008/10/pre-season-game-3-recap-warriors-122.html
There’s my full recap. It looked like for most of the game like the Warriors were on an open floor in practice. The Thunder would just let the Warriors spot up from wherever on the floor and hit a virtually un-contested 3. It looked like they were waiting for the Warriors to drive when they started missing 3s, but they never missed.
Bellinelli looked magical. I mean, he couldn’t miss! At all! Granted, we were playing the worst team in the NBA, but it reminded me of his last Summer league. The only guy who had real trouble with the Thunder was Big Al, because the Thunder defended them really well in the post. Whenever the Thunder had the ball, they tried to back down someone like Stephen or Big Al, and they immediately got double teamed and stripped or forced into a bad shot.
DeMarcus Nelson also looked really good. He was the only guy who could really outwit the Thunder defenders inside the 3 point arc and come away with a 2 without having to get fouled all of the time (ala Baron). If there’s one guy you want on your roster, at least from this game, it’s definately him.
I think the most telling thing of the game was the fact that P.J. kept getting stressed out, wiping his glasses, and shouting really loud. Nellie just sat on the bench and maxed relaxed.

The game was fun to watch
Good
1)Bellinelli—The guy shut Kevin Durant down effectively which I wasn’t expecting. His offense was great. HIt most of his shots and had some great assists.
2)DeMarcus—When he and C.J. were on D together they would swarm usually end up with the ball. His penetration was effective throughout the night too.
3)Turiaf—I was excited to see him start. He was full of energy on D and had some nice fadeaways.
The best thing was that it felt like I was watching great teamwork throughout the game. Nelly was able to use a rotation of mostly future bench players. AB and Maggette didn’t even play, and Jax was out after the first quarter. The team looks like its going to be deep this year.
Bad
1)Harrington had a real off night, and seemed to be struggling with a lot on offense and defense.
2) Wright—Defensively the guy did good. His running jump shots were all off just a little, and it looked like he had better shot options.
Why don't you all quit bitching and just talk Warriors Basketball.

Did you see how Marco helped Hendrix?
On this one play in either the 3rd or 4th quarter the thunders were inbounding the ball and marco jumped up and stole the ball. Like 4 seconds before that Hendrix was watching the inbounder and marco was guarding hendrix’s man and he tapped hendrix to guard the other guy than he went to guard the inbounder and stole the ball. Marco’s defense seemed to have improved a lot since last year.

Hey, FANTASY JUNKIE!
I was the poster that posted the idea that the Warriors should considering adopting Squatch as there mascot it help stick it to Bennett for having Thunder killed off as the Dub’s mascot. I was a die hard Sonics fan crushed by the lost of the Sonics. Anyways, I didn’t go to the game last night (even though I had season seats) because I could bare to sell Durant and Co hoop it up as the OKC Thunder.
Thanks to all the poster who didn’t or still don’t like how Bennett and Co plotted like that bitch in the Major League to build a losing team, claim they can’t compete and more to better city. It’s to bad Durant wasn’t Willie Mays Hayes and Jeff Green wasn’t Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn for the city of Seattle, thus propelling us to a miracle playoff run (ala the Seattle Mariners in 95) to say the franchise.
To those that care former NBA players Gary Payton and James Donaldson are working with the NBA on forming a group to bring a franchise back to Seattle.
