Warriors vs Bucks in China
Milwaukee Bucks at Golden State Warriors, Oct 15, 2008 5:00 AM PDT
Update by Fantasy Junkie: I am an idiot. Yi was traded to the Nets this offseason and yet I still think he's on the Bucks. Oh well. I'll leave it up. Just pretend that it's Richard Jefferson in the photo and it's a homecoming for him because he's really Chinese. I guess it's still the preseason for my preview skills.
Warriors (W-L): 2-1
Bucks (W-L): 0-4
Time: 5:00am PST
TV: ESPN Classic, ESPN 360 webcast
Radio: None
The Warriors kick off their two game road trip to Guangzhou, China to face the Milwaukee Bucks. Hopefully players from both teams take advantage of this trip and take some time to learn about a different culture. Given the time constraints though, it'll be hard to take in a whole lot. At the very least, Monta should learn how to ride a moped from the people in Guangzhou.
Anyways, It's a homecoming for the Bucks' Yi Jianlian. He should be excited to once again be playing in front of his home crowd. I wonder how many people are wearing his Nike Hyperdunks.
If you want to watch the game, you'll have to get up early. Game starts at 5am and will be broadcast on ESPN 360 webcast. For those who prefer to not watch the game, enjoy those ZZZZZ's.
Predictions
- Warriors win by 16
- Yi Jianlian wishes Mullin and Nelson traded up to get him instead of BWright. Yi makes Mullin and Nelson wish they had too.
- Bucks regret hiring Scott Skiles.

good one! :)
This was the most frustrating post during the offseason – Yi from Bucks to Nets and then back to Bucks.. :) I was totally speachless. However, it’s early morning here and I can say, that you made my day FJ ! :)
P.S. No sarcasm!

It's ok, FJ.
Everyone makes a Mullin-esque mistake every once in a while. It happens to all of us.
I’m gonna see if I can record the game on my DVR, to watch later on in the day when I get home.

But I usually get home around 4pm and i’d rather watch it at that time, instead of waiting 2 hours for the 6pm replay. Plus, the Presidential Debate is on at 6 as well.

Yi.
Yi hasn’t even looked all that impressive so far, looks like role player at best so I don’t get all of the hype. There is a reason why Mully/Nelson shot down the Yi rumors over the summer because frankly he isn’t all that good. I’ll take Brandan Wright anyday…

What did we learn from this game?
If you play Kurz more than 20 minutes, YOU WILL LOSE!!!
CJ- Just doesnt have the dominance or court presence
Morrow- Still lost out there, but a good shooter
Bukie- Man among boys
Wright- Needs to take a breath out there, head not in it, all physical ability
AND THAT WAS OUR STARTING 5 TO END THE GAME against the Bucs starting 5 with Ridenour Bogut and Alexander (who caught fire) at the end of the game. Im not discouraged, I would have hoped our bench could have cleaned up a bit better and shown a bit more poise. It was like a pick up game out there… CJ with the bad drive to end it (not his game) and Morrow shooting WAY too quick on that shot (really?? running pull up with 6 seconds to go? WOW…. have fun on the bench buddy)
Wierd lineup for Nelly all game with the half squad mentality, not giving a lot of guys who need to show playing time (Marcus, Dicau) more playing time. I can understand why he pulled Randolph (did never recover from the travel schedule).
And btw… thanks for showing up Marco. 0-6 tonight… niiiiiiice

Did we actaully have more points?
At least it doesn’t count. But early in the 4th the Warriors made a shot and there score didnt go up. I believe they added the points to the Bucks score instead. A couple mins later they add a couple points to warriors score out of no where. They actually kept going up and down with their total for a little bit and decide on just adding two points to the Warriors total. But they didn’t take any away from the Bucks. Then a couple mins later, the Warriors again make a basket and they don’t add the points to the Warriors score again.

This was the only time
Warriors games are broadcasted for me at a convenient primetime slot (game started at 9-ish) and probably one of the rare occasions that Basketball TV here in the Philippines puts out Warriors games. Most of the time I’m in school when it’s live so I always catch reruns of games which I already know the outcome to. So naturally, after being away from the Bay for a year, I was damn excited to finally see how the new rotations/experimentations Nellie would throw out in action.
I’ve just been reading this blog, and more so now that I’m away from home for college. I was never a bandwagoner with the Warriors, I had actually gotten into Warriors basketball during the old Run TMC days, but moved on to idolizing Michael Jordan as any normal 8 year old did. Especially with Space Jam. Anywho, I’ve been following the Warriors two seasons before We Believe season started. Anywho, I decided it’s about time I start posting stuff up. I’m just kinda pissed about today’s game and wanted to talk about it.
Kurz played 20 minutes with 1-6 shooting, but I guess having the most rebounds (8) for the team that night could be something? No. Not really for me. Buike put up 7 rebs and 24 points. Nice. And what’s up with Belinelli? 0-6 shooting? DeMarcus if I think I heard correctly, tried to play the point for a little in the 4th, guess it didn’t go to well. I went to high school with him in Vallejo, but I only knew of him, haha.
Probably the only positive side to this game is the fact that Jax, Biedrins, and Williams didn’t play, Harrington got 12 minutes in, and Magette only 20 meant that a starting lineup of a good mix of bench strength were able to hold their ground, at least for a little while. I think Nellie is gonna start those three next game and bench Kurz, Dickau, and Hendrix the whole night. Next game Warriors will definitely win by 16 or more. Biedrins is gonna kill Bogut.

What this game proves is if we play all of our back up agianst their starters we will lose.
If we wanted to wint he game Nellie would have played our best players and we would have won going away. Look at the minutes the Bucks played their starters? Hell they must have thought it was regular season game. We are the better team no doubt about it.

impressions
I watched the first half so far, and had a couple of thoughts. Demarcus Nelson had a rough start to the game, but seems to be a very good defender, at least better than we are used to having at the point guard. I think having he and CJ as point guard will work fine. I actually thought CJ Watson did a good job running the offense, and pushing the ball up the court even though he struggled offensively. Azuibuke is still a stud. He is great at knifing into the lane, and the game seems to come easy to him. Maggette gets to the line, even if he flops. I like having him and Buke in the game together, it makes us a stronger more athletic team.
