New Orleans Hornets at Golden State Warriors, Oct 29, 2008 7:30 PM PDT
It's gotta start somewhere right?
Warriors (W-L): 0 - 0
Hornets (W-L): 0 - 0
Time: 7:30 PM PST
TV: CSN Bay Area
Radio: KNBR 680
Finally! Game day is here. After watching other teams playing in the posteason, going through a wild ride of an offseason, trying to get excited about summer league, and covering the preseason games, the Golden State Warriors' 2008-2009 season kicks off tonight! Despite all of my pessimism towards the team's chances of success, I'm excited for another season of hoops. And I'm especially excited for GSOM Night 5 tonight. I hope to see lots of you around, wearing the Tony.psd designed Nellie shirts - this one's an instant classic.
As far as the game, hit the jump for some thoughts and predictions...
The Baron Davis Era officially ended in late June of this year when he opted out of his contract and shocked everyone by signing with the Clippers. Back in 2005, when Chris Mullin made that huge trade that brought the Warriors their first superstar in many, many years, it put this franchise back on the NBA map. There was a newfound respect for this team, this franchise, and this city. No longer were the Warriors a push over, they had someone who could take over a game and steal a win if you weren't careful. Baron Davis became the face of the franchise and overnight, us fans felt a new buzz, a new energy, a new hope. Baron would bring change. And change he did bring.
But Baron's gone now and it is now unclear who or what will define this franchise. This opening night game against one of the West's elite teams, the New Orleans Hornets, will be the jump off point for whatever era these next few years will be defined as.
The only thing that's clear to me is that something will define these next few years. Whether it's a good thing or bad thing, I have no idea. I'm nervous that we'll be going through another playoff dry spell. Hopefully that doesn't define these upcoming years. Here's who could define the franchise next.
- Will it be Monta Ellis, he of the low-speed mopeds? He's the highest paid on the team and Rowell and Mullin sure paid him to be the face of the franchise. But I now have serious doubts about his decision making skills off the court.
- There's also Stephen Jackson, the loudest personality the Warriors have. He's the heart and soul of this team and the leader both emotionally and in on court play.
- Corey Maggette? Can he step up his game?
- Or will it be one of the left-handed big men - Biedrins, Wright, or Randolph?
- Al Harrington? Uhhhh no. Not after asking to be traded.
- The obvious answer is Nellie, but you just never know how long he's going to be around. In fact, from 2 years ago until he retires could be known as the Nellie Era.
Tonight's game is scary. Chris Paul vs DeMarcus Nelson or Marcus Williams scares me. Heck, Chris Paul vs them both at the same time scares me. David West scares me. Peja Stojakovic scares me. Adding James Posey scares me. The Hornets are better than last year. The Warriors? Not so much.
Here's what I am excited about for tonight. I'm excited to see Corey Maggette playing for the Warriors rather than tearing them up. Oddly, I'm excited to see Ronny Turiaf play. We finally have a legitimate banger inside to muscle up on the opposing bigs. I'm excited to see if Brandan Wright or Anthony Randolph will pan out and not be complete busts. And lastly, I'm excited to see how the two veterans, Stephen Jackson and Al Harrington respond to being the leaders of such a young team and what's looking to be a very difficult road to the playoffs.
Predictions
- Warriors by 1
- Jax, Maggette, and Al drop 20 points each.
- Biedrins starts off the season strong with a double double
- CP3 terrorizes the Warriors guards

ya
pretty psyched about this game. Kinda sucks that we have to play such a superior team on opening night but hey, you never know. Here’s hoping the fans revert to our 2006 season and make it incredibly difficult to win in our house, particularly tonight when we’ll take any help we can get. What were we 31-10 at home in 06? lol, the team sure looks alot different but the fans are the same. Go Warriors

good game
Look how we started last year without our Capitan Jack. I just hope we don’t start the same way without M. Ellis. I am stocked to watch DeMarcus Nelson guard Chris Paul. It will be a good game no matter what the outcome will be.

question
You said that you seriously question Monta’s actions off the court. I’m not trying to say that what he did wasn’t very wrong, and that he shouldn’t be punished, but how can you say that have doubts about his off the court actions? Unless I am mistaken, this is the first time anything like this has happened with Monta, and I seriously doubt it will be an issue in the future.
by bayareaballa on Oct 29, 2008 12:41 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
ehh
unless CP3 is playing a really off game, we not taking this game. Action Jackson being the best player on the team? I kinda know what his stat is going to be: 8-22, 20 pts, 2-6 on 3’s, 4 rebounds and assists, 4 TO. This isn’t going to be pretty to watch. So when is Monta coming back again…I rather him have the ball rather than Action Jackson.

Since we’ll probably be havin a game like portland had last night (blow out), you think we’ll see any Anthony Randolph? Couldnt hurt, and then if he makes a free throw or something we’ll having bragging rights to Randolph over Oden as better rookie lol.

I have to tell you guys this
Last season… coming from a magical run the previous season, I was ultra excited about the season opener (which we ended up being blown out by the Jazz). I had my Warriors jersey, my WE BELIEVE wristband, and everything else…
This season with Baron gone, Ellis hurt, AL wanting out and with an undrafted PG starting and guarding Chris Paul, I´m really not excited.
I will watch the game, I will root for my Dubz, by I really dont have any expectations for this season, I think it will be a rebuilding and retooling season. I just cant see us in the playoffs and that is depressing after the WE BELIEVE run of 2007.
F**K REFS!!!

I wouldn’t count on Ellis or Biedrins to lead this team and I don’t know anything about Maggette’s leadership. With Ellis and Maggette, Jackson doesn’t have to be much more than a 3rd option and occasional 20-point scorer/setup man- and that’s exactly what he was born to do.

Does anyone else feel like Nelson drew up that last play to send a message to Harrington?
Having a feel for Nelson’s character and his pension for making “points” to players during court time, I can’t help but feel he gave this play right to Harrington (as opposed to Buike or letting Maggs drive; Hornets would’ve been all over Jackson and he would’ve missed regardless) to either hurt his trade credibility or boost his ego as a team player here.

Oh, and I know Nelson hates Marcus Williams but Jack at the point is horrific. Horrific. Demarcus didn’t get nearly enough burn and CJ is injured.
I’m still not sure why Nelson is THIS down on Williams
by so ill so d0pe on Oct 29, 2008 10:28 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
well, he's not alone
2007-08 season: Williams is what I call a basketball narcissist: He keeps calling his number despite horrid percentages and bushels of turnovers. If he ever decides to chill out and become an actual point guard there’s enough talent here to turn into a real player, but who knows if the light bulb will ever come on.
It’s hard to overstate how harmful Williams’ me-first offensive tendencies are. He used a ton of possessions and used them horribly, ranking in the top third of point guards in usage rate but sporting the third worst turnover ratio at his position and a sub-50 true shooting percentage. He ranked 58th out of 71 points guards in pure point rating, even though, theoretically, he’s supposed to be a natural point guard.
About the only positives were his improvement to 38.0 percent on 3-pointers, which would make him a useful spot-up guy if he’d stop trying to drive 1-on-5 so much, and the sixth best rebound rate among point guards.
Scouting report: Offense isn’t Williams’ only problem. He was out of shape and was routinely blistered by opposing point guards last season, which is why 38-year-old Darrell Armstrong was able to eat into his minutes even though he was about the only player in captivity who made worse decisions than Williams at the point. New Jersey was phenomenally bad on D with Williams playing, giving up 9.0 points more per 48 minutes than with him off the court.
A left-hander with a great feel for the game, Williams actually could be pretty good if he decided to be a pass-first player. Scouts compared him to Mark Jackson coming out of college — yes, seriously — and if he gets in shape and gets his head on straight, there’s still an opportunity for that caliber of player to come out. But he’s a poor finisher and only a middling shooter, so if he’s trying to score 20 a night it’s not gonna work.
2008-09 outlook: The Nets traded Williams to Golden State for a lottery-protected — heck, lottery embalmed — first round pick that might not even be a first when all is said and done and likely won’t be theirs for at least a few years.
He’ll begin the year with the backup point guard job, just as he did in New Jersey a year ago, but I don’t expect Don Nelson to be any more tolerant of Williams’ selfish play than Lawrence Frank was. If he can get in shape and focus on passing he’ll have a nice year, especially since Monta Ellis will be out of the lineup at the start of the season; otherwise he might find himself again kicked to the curb for a veteran retread with a fraction of his talent.

It’s not what this team needs, but all of the “true” points, or people destined to handle, at this point, are going look for their own shot.
This is going to be a long haul without any semblance of a point guard.

This is ridiculous.
You can’t rely on Jack for 48 minutes and expect them to be productive. I really hope that this is not an indication of how the season will be. It’ll be a long season.
But still there are some positives to take. I like the scrappy-ness on D. Although i didn’t like the fact that they SWITCHED ON EVERY PICK. I think they’ll get burned later in the season. I think the rebounding is definitely improved this year (when AB doesn’t foul out that is). Jack is definitely the leader on this team. But still, he can’t play for 48 minutes. Maggette played real well tonight, except for that late defensive rotation on the game winning basket by CP3.
Al needs to get his offensive act together.
Kelenna looked good, although had a tough shooting night.
I’m still indifferent about DeMarcus Nelson. He doesn’t really look like a PG out there. Although he did have a nice play to AB. But still too many turnovers and getting caught up in the air.
I wish i could see Friday’s game. ahhh.

Jack’s minutes should be seen as less of an issue in relation to his role as the “point guard.”
Someone needs to be bred, or step up, to act as solid play maker for the next two months.

Game Recap
Biedrins was a beast in 30 minutes. 14 points 10 rebounds 5 offensive
only downfall was him having 0 blocks and shooting 4-10 from the line.
Al should play a little bit more down low, he shot 5-17????!!!!!!
Jacks didn’t do that bad of a job initiating the offense.
Turiaf with 4 blocks? talk about interior defense!
Maggette is definitely going to be a major help on our team FT percentages.
HAHA & I actually thought Nellie would play some of the rookies, or at least Bwright and Marcus.

only guy i was surprised didn’t play was Wright; but i think it had more to do w/ Al’s whining about minutes and trade demand more than anything else.

Brutal ending, but a very good performance overall… anyone who comes out of this game thinking the team will be terrible wasn’t playing close attention.
We’re never going to be a good rebounding team and we’re never going to be a good defensive team, but we looked better in both areas tonight. Maggette, Azubuike and Biedrins all looked really good… Jack looked good before he (understandably) ran out of gas… Turiaf did his thing well.
Al was bad — even rumors aside, he really had a game that summed up why he’s not useful to this team. We should move him for any backcourt player we can find whose contract doesn’t run longer than his… anybody who Nelson would trust enough to give Jack a friggin’ break from time to time. I wish Nellie would give Marcus Williams a shot, but it’s not like the guy’s track record is above reproach… if he wants somebody else, fine.
To me, the most worrisome aspect of the game was the zero minutes played by Brandan Wright. Fitz and Barnett were talking like he’d have a big presence this year, but he sure didn’t tonight, and I worry it’s because of Nellie’s preference for shooters. Our three best players at the 4 and 5 are Biedrins, Wright and Turiaf. If Nellie won’t ever play two of them at the same time, he’s hamstringing the team for no reason. Will be interesting to see if Nellie can find some flexibility on this, in his old age.
Overall, though, I enjoyed the game as much as one can enjoy a last-minute loss like that. We continue to be a likeable, entertaining team, and we’re a team with some big upside… our biggest weaknesses tonight (too many minutes for Jack, the presence of Al) are things that can be addressed. It would be extremely premature to say we can’t make the playoffs… we’re not a lock, by any means, but we sure look like a legitimate team.

technically
nellie played both Andris & Turiaf together for long stretches.
i’m thinking (or hoping) he threw Al a bone. we need his trade value to at least be high enough to get a rotation player in return.

True… they were both on the court for 6-8 minutes total, which ain’t much, but ain’t zero, either.
I hope you’re right about Al. For a variety of reasons, we should move him as soon as possible.

Agreed
We did WAY better than I thought we would have, especially against the Hornets, who are among the top 5 teams in the NBA.

Exactly
He isn’t used to the atmosphere, since Nellie didn’t even play him last season.

AL
CAN play down low, just not in the Warriors offensive system. He isn’t quick enough to finish plays in the paint at the pace we run. Anybody remember how good Al was back on the crappy Hawks?

is it really necessary for Al to dribble behind his back every single effing time….

geez
can somebody please tell me how wright could have hurt us more than harrington did?
Our bench is deep, wright got minutes in the preseason and I think he delivered. Nelly is straight up manipulative and shady.

one thing that i could see
is that Wright would probably be even more physically overmatched against West than Harrington.
another is Al provided floor spacing for Maggette & Kelenna’s drives and post ups.
b/c of injuries to Monta & CJ, we’re actually not that deep either. other than Brandan possibly picking up 12-20 minutes, no one else is a candidate to really help us for sure in terms of winning.
this is all conjecture, but i’m guessing the real issue is that nellie doesn’t know what he’ll get from those guys. considering all the road games we’re gonna have early on, and believing this to be a winnable game, he rode what he thought would pull the game out.
whether that’s right or wrong is a matter of judgment. anyway, it’s just one game. i don’t expect Marco or Marcus to play, but Wright should be getting 12-20 mpg.

not to beat a dead horse...
on a positive note. How exciting and close was that game? We stood toe to toe with the second best team in the west, and to think we didn’t even have Monta!! I can’t wait tosee what the team can do when they gel even more so. I think Corey And Ronnie showed that Warrior heart too!! Here’s to hoping Monta comes back in full strength. We’ll be unstoppable!

sigh
close game. It was kinda funny to see some in game matchups…. but we just came up short. We need to execute in the end and play team defense.
brb, going to ORACLE

some court observations....
Maggette’s guns close to Buike’s , if not bigger
Jackson can’t initiate fast break offense….lol
DeMarcus has something in the tank
brb, going to ORACLE

damn
another heartbreaking loss. biedrens needs to step his free throws up late in the game.
by J2daZ on Oct 29, 2008 11:39 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
ppl
we got some problems here.
Action Jackson need to stops playing pg. 5 assists with 5 TO. He can’t create a fast break for shit. He should just throw up 3’s and play D. He shouldn’t be the ones taking the final shots of the game either. Maggette is a better scorer and he should be the one taking the last shot of the game. we have more problems to deal with it, but I’m too lazy to lists them all.

This got me thinking
What’s up with the depth we were talking about all summer long? I know the starters gives us the best chance to win, but if we don’t use the bench forget about getting to the playoffs. Our guys will be burnt out by then. Where is Marco? This got me thinking about the 07 draft. Why didn’t we draft Rudy Fernandez instead of Marco? Marco was drafted at 18th by the Dubs and Rudy was drafted 24th by the Suns and then traded to Portland. All the mock drafts had the Warriors taking Rudy with the 18th pick and then out of nowhere they drafted the Italian sharpshooter whom I have never heard of prior to the 07 draft. To make matters worse we could of drafted Marc Gasol over Lasme. Marc Gasol had a decent game tonight, 12 points , 12 rebounds, and 2 blocks. That is just poor drafting by the Dubs. We could of had depth.

In Defense
I bet no one was complaining about nelly when we were matching them pt for pt throughout the game making the matchups he created seem genius. I BET no one was questioning who should have the ball in his hands when he knocked down the 3rd qtr buzzer beater…
I know most of you guys were on Jax pointforward hype train in the preseason
I know most of you guys were questioning if not hating the fact we signed Mags
I know most of you guys thought we were either gonna suck bad or do hopefully do as well as we were the past 2 seasons.
So wtf? Shut the the hell up and let Nelson do his thing and Stephen run the damn show. We were pt for pt with ONE OF THE BEST TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE!
ps. If Al hit the shot you guys would be saying the exact opposite.
