Lietuvos Rytas.
We knew this day would come. All we could do up until now was practice as hard as we could in order to be the most elite basketball machine we could be. But was it enough?! Are we the Warriors that we need to be to beat our most feared team of all teams that happen to come from Vilnus, Lithuania and has bred Basketball powerhouses such as Sarunas Jasikevicius, Sarunas Marciulionis, Robertas Jacvtokas and (dare I say it?!) SIMAS JASAITIS?!!!
That’s right. Don’t step to Simas lest ye be served.
JUMP!!!
Dyam! Well played Lietvos Rytas!
Warriors (W-L): 3-2
Lietuvos Rytas (W-L): Uh… Did you know that Lithuanian folk music belongs to Nordic music branch which is connected with Neolithic corded ware culture?
Time: 7:30am PST
TV:
Radio: Nah.
Well it turns out that even though this is a meaningless preseason game, we at least have an excellent opportunity to broaden our horizons through the magic of Wikipedia. Did someone say Fun Facts? I THINK THEY DID!
- Did you know that Kareem Rush played for Lietuvos Rytas for the 2006-2007 season?
- Lietuvos Rytas’ home county,
- Guess who is from
Whelp! That’s all I have to say about that. Go forth Warriors and serve the Rough Rytas. Remember, if you don’t pull this win off…
…it doesn’t make a hell of a lot of difference...
Predictions:
- Warriors by 7.
- Someone named Sarunis plays.
- Many names are pronounced incorrectly.

Glad to be wrong
It looks to me like CSN Bay Area is showing Women’s Volleyball at that time. If the game is televised, I would love to be corrected.
Go Warriors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

probably
i m the only one on this site who knows anything about Lietuvos Rytas and Lithuania as well
i can count how many times Lithuania was Euro champon or how many Olympic bronze they’ve got (traditions i mean)
add some educational vid about Arvydas Sabonis where he is dunking over opponents, flying better then Superman and etc. (that was before multiple surgeries on his legs and before NBA)
but actually -who needs it
today W’s will meet team which budget is less then Biceps and Belinelli salary combined
so W’s +22
PS -Hash -you forgot about Zydrunas Igauskas and Linas Kleiza
build a team & destroy the roof and

I was at the San Francisco Center mall on sunday at footlocker when all of a sudden the entire Lietuvos Rytas team walks in. I knew it was them because they were all wearing their Lietuvos Rytas matching warmups, and there were a couple guys 6’9’’+.

The bases were drunk, and I painted the black with my best yakker. But blue squeezed me, and I went full. I came back with my heater, but the stick flares one the other way and the chalk flies for two bases. Three earnies! Next thing I know, skipper hooks me and I'm sipping suds with the clubby.

i wonder if at their training facilities, they have those cool punching machines that dial out 1850, 1990, 2045, and 2150 every time they hit it. and that funny looking oblique twisting machine that looks like one of those braces to keep some people from moving their neck. like office space, hahaha

This is a template for the the real season and that they wouldn’t get much time to pla.

Just got home from the game.
We are definitely deeper than last year.
Azibuike is a BEAST, Wright is All-Wright, and Randolph is a BEAST.
Ok, I have used beast too much, but it was an entertaining game to say the least.
And my girl, Alexis, the cheerleader was in quite nice form tonight. JK

50 + comments for a game that wasnt televised and had no audio, we are true die hard fans. im looking forward to those who went to the game and seeing what they said about tonight, im glad harrington only played 17 minutes. hopefully that’s the trend. i smiled a bit when i saw how many rebounds demarcus pulled down. harrington was right when he said that he plays with the mentality of a 7 footer. the -15 didnt make me smile so much however. wright has excellent touch, if he gets more aggressive he could average 18 points a game easily imo.

3pters
Man, Lietuvos Rytas sure love to chuck up 3pters. We should draft some!

Went to game
Great game tonight. Nelly surely experimented with the lineup. The last 5 minutes had Randolph and B. Wright out together. They looked to have a friendly but heated competition…..at one point B. Wright should have passed to Randolph for an open dunk but tried to jack up a contested layup instead.
Other thoughts.
-Jack attack was insane from tonight. Hitting them from all over the continent as if he was the original European sharpshooter
-Demarcus Nelson was wild @ point…gotta slow down and pretend to be a leader
-Am I wrong but did Maggette look semi-out of shape? He looked better last year when he was torching Warriors.
-Biedrins showed a nifty little skyhook in the paint
-Warrior dance team was lookin fine.

Randolph
Randolph was running around like a chicken with his head cut off. True he had a wicked followup dunk and a couple of scores where he shouldn’t have but his D was terrible. In time he will be awesome but he looked far less comfortable than B. Wright…after all it is rookie preseason
by Biedrins Delight on Oct 21, 2008 11:01 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
wow
anything else about the apparent comp between wright and randolph? what else did you notice that made you say that.
by Bigben777 on Oct 21, 2008 11:10 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
No Drama
I shouldn’t have said heated although they are battling each other for playing time. Things should get interesting though come mid-season when Randolph is ready to take a leap.
I hope Nelly plays the two skinny, pogo-sticks together a bit more.
If B. Wright bulked up more (Big if)…randolph, biedrins nd wright would make a deadly frontcourt
i guess thats all i have on that..
by Biedrins Delight on Oct 21, 2008 11:16 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
thanks
did randolph display any handles? how comfortable can you imagine randolph being a 3 next to wright as the 4 and biedrins as the 5? does that frontcourt look like they would clash too much?

Great game last night i was there!
It was a great game last night here is the review from my seat.
Bukie- Great job, he made shots, played wvery solid. he will make a bigger name for himself this year! the dunk will be on the highlight reel he woke us up last night!
Maggette- Good, I expected a lot more from him he needs to work on finishing after getting folued! It seemed that he lived at the line. O by the way gotta make your shots if they send you to the line! And the T you got in the third was not needed the ref jumped the gun on that one! By the way welcome to Oakland!!!!!!!!! SJAX had your back!
Sjackson- Awsome night 30 pts need I say more!!!!!!! He was leading the team as well which I really like to see more of this year!
Turiaf- Great energy, but nelson will have his hands full trying to convert that to great play. He missed a lot of assignments and did not make many shots. Great block through, I saw the light!
Andre B- Good game, very solid nelson was just making a lot of changes during the game.
Bwright- Awsome game, but he needs to learn to move without the ball. Other than that I say we have a Garnett caliber player on our team in a few years. He’s tall, he’s long and he looked much better than last season!
AR- he played ok, he was just trying to do way to much on offense, he reminds me of Lamar Oden in his young days. On defense he seemed very lost! Thats whay he was pulled from the game after just getting put in! The kool part was that sjax went and sat with him on the bench and explained everything he was doing wrong! Again great leadership!
AND I SAVED THIS ONE FOR LAST
Demarcus Nelson- Dont let the numbers fool you, that man is going to be a beast!!!! Mark my words I know I have not been on here long enough (posting that is) to be a trusting word. Let this be the measure of my knowledge of the game! He rebounded, he played great defense and my only knock against him is he was pushing himself a little to hard. If he was just to slow down and take his time picking apart the defense, we would be able to close the door on the talks of the point guard position!

My recap
I was at the game too. Here are my takeaways going into the season:
1) Brandon Wright might not be a waste of space after all. He’s been consistently good throughout the preseason, and he looked great again yesterday.
2) Jack will be Jack again this year. Hoisting fast break 3’s one after another, as long as he stays hot. Getting the crowd pumped. Playing good D. He’s really acting like the leader of this team. At one point in the game, Maggette and a player from Lietuvos Rytas got into it and there were double T’s given. After the play Jack went over to the guy on the other team and made sure he was all good.
3) This team really has no point guard. Nellie refuses to play Marcus Williams (DNP-CD yesterday – ouch) and both Demarcus Nelson and CJ Watson are really more like undersized combo guards than true point guards. Evidence of this yesterday – Lietuvos Rytas out-assisted us 27-21. On offense, the Warriors are all fast-break or isolation plays. If we have to play a slow-down team like the Spurs and run a lot of halfcourt sets, it’s gonna get ugly.
4) Other players that stuck out to me as looking really good: Buke, Bedrins, and Randolph.
5) Defense: they blew their defense rotations a bunch of times last night. If they don’t get that fixed before the season starts, it will be trouble. Some of the rookies and even 2nd year players looked lost on defense more than once. On the flipside, they have 4 legit shotblockers on this team now: Bedrins, Turiaf, Wright, and Randolph. Also, Harrington’s defense looked better than last year, but Maggette’s defense was awful. Hopefully it’s a matter of not giving 100% effort for a preseason game.
My bottom line: this team should be aiming for .500 during the first 1/3 of the season (without Monta). If they can do that, I would call it a huge success.

My recap
I walked away with a Baron Davis swingman jersey and a warriors shirt from the store for a total price of 23 bucks. Add that to the free bart parking, free toll on the bridge (my brother doesnt have license plates yet, and 5.60 for two tickets, and I would say it was a damn successful night. Anyone else take advantage of the amazing sales at the Warriors store?
My pictures never show up here, so this is my new Signature
