PrintGolden State Warriors at New Orleans Hornets, Oct 5, 2008 4:00 PM PDT
Well at least we don't have this as our mascot!
Warriors (W-L): 0-0
Hornets (W-L): 0-0
Time: 4:00pm PST
TV: None
Radio: None
Not much to be excited about these days in the Bay Area. Our Niners are a Cinderella team in a Twilight Zone episode while our Raiders are lead by the Grim Reaper himself, so they can't be any better.
No, now we can all jump up for joy for the NBA preseason is about to begin! Our beloved Warriors will face off against the Hornets today at 4pm. Am I excited? Heck yea! We don't have Baron, we don't have Ellis ... but who cares. It's fun going back to being mediocre. That way I can dust off my sarcasm and cynicism.
But one shining star I am excited to see is Corey Maggette. We'll be talking about him all season, but I've been a fan of his since he joined the league. Now I'm excited to see him in a Warrior outfit. I'm also anxious to see how much Randolph, Wright and Beans have progressed on the off season. I expect big things this year.
They can take the "believe" away from our franchise ... but they'll never take it away from me. I do believe in this upcoming season. I really do!
YaoButta's Predictions:
- Hornets up by 20 points in first half but Warriors win game by 4.
- Beans and Wright both collect double doubles.
- Ellis sits on the sidelines wearing an over sized polo and hat.
- We have 27 comments tonight =)

Hey Everyone, no TV for this game… national, local (SF or NO) or international… nothing… I hope we are lucky enough to get at least a Yahoo Game Channel for this game!
F**K REFS!!!
yay!
jackson scored the first 2 points!
cj with a foul on paul!
Audio too
Through NBA.com, we can at least listen to the N.O. audio broadcast. 11 to 4 Warriors right now! I believe!!!!! :0)
looks like
williams sprained ankle wasnt dat serious since hes playing
LOL
The Hornets mascot in that picture is mocking Monta!
DAMN!!
A game of this magnitude!! It´s the most important game of the season so far!!! I want to know the score!!!! hahahaha
F**K REFS!!!
every time
they say wright i am wondering if they are talking about julien wright or brandan
lol
lol………. julian wright is doing so much better than brandan
turiaf
Seems to be doing what he does best – rebound, drawing fouls and some scoring.
Checking in
So I’m at this game and I have to say that I’m bored
Plays with a fire
If only you could hear how loud he is .. he roars whenever he grabs a rebound
Hey pree!!
I miss your great articles!!
Yeah… maybe thats something we were missing these last few years…
F**K REFS!!!
There's no energy
That’s all .. tough to inject enthusiasm into preseason
Living in LA
I can attest to the energy he brings .. you guys will absolutely love that guy and the dancing that made him annoying with the Lakers will make you love him .. he be getting hyphy always
Yea
I’ve been on a break on Warriors stuff .. season coverage starts on Wednesday/Thursday for me .. expect more as we go
everyone who has played has scored
Hope that the bench won’t suck?
It won't
Mullin wanted depth .. and he’ll get it in January
Cj Disaster
Does his job once again. Lots of turnovers and no assists :(
On the other hand Marcus Williams is doing well.
Hornet's commentators
I know it’s just the preseason, but holy crap these guys are AWFUL. They could learn a lot from listening to our boys Tim Roye & Jim Barnett…

Randolph
isn’t strong enough to guard good Pf’s… keep him at the sf :/
wow
where did the warrior’s D go in the 3rd qtr?
by EternalWarriorsOptimist on Oct 5, 2008 5:52 PM PDT reply actions
i want
I want belinelli to heat up and lead the team to victory
hmm
If turiaf can continue that level of play hes a bargain
weird
does turiaf have more assist then our pgs?
Yup
Turiaf got 7 assists, Jackson and Williams have 3
then he lets ryan bowen beat him
and gives up a wide open layup.

Ryan Bowen better run out of the arena after the game
or those announcers are going to make sweet, nasty love to him. Their man-crush is obscene.

I guess they seem a little over the top to me. Or maybe I just miss Bob, Jim, and Tim.
Yah, different style. Making bad jokes with eachother and the color guy yelling at Hornets'
players to play the right way.

I hate listening to annoucners from other teams. Their always so biased, especially the Spurs announcers.
GSwarrior
Have you ever heard the Spurs announcers before? My god, they’re horrific. At least Bob and Jim are capable of recognizing talent of the players from other teams.
by Five Ten Entertainment on Oct 5, 2008 6:32 PM PDT up reply actions
Spurs announcers
Are no were near as bias as the Lakers TV announcers, they are tied for the worse announcers with the Celtics announcers, ……………give him a Tommy Point.
yea but
cmon.. saying i hate listening to announcers from other teams is so naive. announcers from other teams ARE suppost to be biased so its really stupid saying that when fans from other teams could be saying that from our announcers as well. just my opinion.
Morrow
would be a hero, if he had hit that 3 ball :(
His magic is gone
he peaked in Summer League. Even Don Nelson said he’s cooled off in practice.

8 more...
man… gotta tell you, this season without Jrich, Baron, Monta, with all that WE BELIEVE spirit gone… I´m not very hungry for Warriors Hoops, I just hope we play with passion and dont go back to those 20 points blowouts every night
F**K REFS!!!
We Believe was meant for breaking the post season curse, which we did. I think it’s time to put down We Believe and come up with something new.
I agree with you
I was just refering to that team chemistry we had… it was beautiful to see Matt Barnes with the Mohawk, Baron and JRich bumping chests, Stephen hitting 8 threes in a game… just that… I hope we win it all this season, I´m just not that hungry as previous years…
F**K REFS!!!
yeah
Take a look at the Atma’s last post if you haven’t seen it yet, it’s crazy. Helps to relive the whole We Believe moments that took place during the playoffs.
Don’t forget about Paul Wong, the guy who started the whole “We Believe” movement.

I miss Paul Wong! He was my hero!! hahaha
F**K REFS!!!
are you serious?
That team was capable of doing A LOT of damage, they were only a good big man away from being contenders.
What you just said, that’s like saying that the Warriors are back in the lottery after they took a “vacation” by making the playoffs. I guess the lottery is the Warriors’ true HOME.
by Five Ten Entertainment on Oct 5, 2008 6:39 PM PDT up reply actions
well yeah
I wouldn’t be surprised if we missed the playoffs this year.
It’s just that the guy said that the 2006-2007 Warriors were just to make us happy for a while, before we would start to suck again.
That’s where I said that the Warriors making the playoffs was just a “vacation”, and now the Warriors are back home in the lottery where they belong.
by Five Ten Entertainment on Oct 5, 2008 6:44 PM PDT up reply actions
I was so angry
this week when I read that we didnt resign Baron because of Rowell… These 2 guys will forever ruin all the We Believes that might happen here
F**K REFS!!!
yeah
For some reason, this team doesn’t feel like “it was meant to be”. You know what i’m talkin bout?
The 2006-2007 Warriors that made the playoffs were a team that was meant to be. They were a great group of guys that found their niche within one another and were made to be together as the underdog team. The Warriors that we have now feel too random.
by Five Ten Entertainment on Oct 5, 2008 6:36 PM PDT up reply actions
Clearly we need Ryan Bowen, the greatest player ever, not named Chris Paul
Then will you believe?

by bloodsweatndonuts on Oct 5, 2008 6:38 PM PDT up reply actions
In fact
it was the -2007 half of that team that came together. Ah, the memories of the BIG TRADE that eventually put us in the NBA post season history books.
also
It was the memorable run and how we made way into the playoffs. The Warriors making the playoffs was shocking enough. It was how they were surprisingly good and owned the 6th best team in NBA history… that was the crazy part about the Warriors that year. Everyone was like, “WTF! I thought the Warriors were a sucky team!?! Hold on, they got celebrity fans too? Damn, this team is pretty entertaining!”
by Five Ten Entertainment on Oct 5, 2008 6:47 PM PDT up reply actions
And dont forget
that we came 1 missed FT by Pitrus from stealing a game in Utah… if we had won that game… maybe…. we would have gone to the West Finals!!!
F**K REFS!!!
don't forget
Baron also stepped out of bounds during that last minute as well. And in Game 1, Jackson missed a three that could have tied the game.
The Warriors could have EASILY had the series at 2-0 or 1-1 heading into Oakland for Game 3.
by Five Ten Entertainment on Oct 5, 2008 6:51 PM PDT up reply actions
That would have happened
if only Houston could have beaten the Jazz back in round 1.
yeah
I think the Warriors would have owned the Rockets that year. That would have been a GREAT story too. A bunch of “small guys” beating out a tall player in Yao Ming. The Warriors would have ran Yao out of the building. It would have been possible, since Yao isn’t quick and athletic to hang with the Warriors like Carlos Boozer was.
And imagine if the Warriors advanced to the WCF against the Phoenix Suns. OMG, that would have been CRAZY.
Warriors in the Finals against the Cavaliers. I think the Warriors would have a chance against those Cavs.

That would have been
a TOP 3 moment in my life along with Italy winning the Soccer World Cup in 06 and the day I met my wife!
F**K REFS!!!
oh yeah
the thought of stephen jackson being a “leader” of a team pulling off an upset, that’s something to remember. everyone thought jackson was just a worthless thug, jackson proved them all wrong by shutting down dirk in the playoffs and making those crazy three’s. jackson was a distinguished player in that series. along with Baron being the top performer in the whole NBA Playoffs.

And then there's Dirk
who received his MVP at home. When I get really bored, sometimes I google search for news articles that criticize Dirk’s “performance” after the series.
yeah
The sucky thing with that series, is that a lot of people don’t give the Warriors a lot of credit. I’m not being picky or anything, cause I know the Warriors still get recognition from that series… but it feels like people are saying that the Mavericks got eliminated because they straight up sucked, not because the Warriors were “a really good team”.
by Five Ten Entertainment on Oct 5, 2008 6:55 PM PDT up reply actions
You know why they say
the Mavs sucked instead of the Warriors were good? Because most of them had money on the Mavs! :D
omg
I remember Mavs fans before the series started. They were so CONFIDENT.
I was on some forum and there were countless people talking about how the Warriors wouldn’t be a challenge of any significance to the Mavs.

you serious?
dude I was looking for Warriors playoff games during the 2007 offseason. I was planning on doing a video of their playoff run. I only have games 1 and 6.
A crazy moment in that series was in Game 3 of the series against the Mavericks.
THE WARRIORS DID A FASTBREAK WHILE FIGHTING FOR A LOOSE BALL.
LOL that was hilarious. Both teams were scrambling, Baron Davis tapped the ball forward while he was falling down, J-Rich dove for the ball and through it behind his back as he did a 180 as he was falling down, and then Monta got the ball and got fouled while attempting to lay it in.
I swear, if Monta made that shot, that would have been one of the GREATEST plays in NBA Playoff history. The thing that really made it special was that one of the announcers (I forget who) literally jumped out of his seat and SCREAMED while the play was going on. When he jumped up, his mic came out of his headset and you can hear a bunch of static as the mic fell to the ground. I think that’s the first time i’ve ever seen a play make an announcer go so crazy.

Highlights
Marco 5-10 from the field, 2-3 from 3
Buke: Standard Buke line: 50% shooting 12pts
Andris: Good lord, 19min, 9 pts, 8rebs 4-4 fg
Turiaf: 7 assists?
Randolph: 3-5 fg, 6pts, 6 rebs, 4 TO, not as bad as the announcers made it sound, but they said he was overmatched on defense.

The thing with the Warriors now
When Baron was on the Warriors, I wouldn’t worry whenever they’d lose a preseason game. I would just be like, “Yeah this loss don’t matter, Baron and J-Rich are bouta beast it up when the regular season starts”.
Now, with this loss, I don’t know what to think. I look at the boxscore and can’t really find a player who I have confidence in to carry the team to wins. It’s whatever though.
by Five Ten Entertainment on Oct 5, 2008 6:53 PM PDT reply actions
Yea
This team doesn’t seem to have that one leader/star player. Sure, Monta is good, but not a “leader” good.
The Time Is Now! Win Warriors Win!
Biedrins
He might evolve into the leader type of presence. I’m not sure if he will on the floor, but in the locker room, he definitely can be that type.
Monta
If he was on the team, able to play, then I would be confident. I can trust him scoring wise.
Jackson is a great leader, but he needs another leader to keep him in check and take pressure off of him. Guys like Tim Duncan and Baron Davis were able to do that.
by Five Ten Entertainment on Oct 5, 2008 7:06 PM PDT up reply actions
action jackson???
a leader? good luck with that. The last time he was a leader, the hawks were still at the bottom of the nba. sorry to say this, but it be blessing if we find a good leader this season. We all know Monta is a dumbass and Action Jackson won’t gave a damn if the team is losing.
by warriorfan4life on Oct 7, 2008 3:04 PM PDT up reply actions
i see what you're saying
but to be honest, i take at least a little comfort in the fact that we’re about 20 miles deeper than we were last season. do we have a single game changer? no. but with a little faith and nellie magic, we can be excited for a cohesive unit from 1 to 5, and all the way to our 8th or 9th man.
yeah
I forget that we’re deeper this year. I guess it’s just all the new names that got to me. But whenever we’re stuck in a game (assuming that Monta isn’t playing), I can count on Maggette to get to the line. Other than that, i’m not sure who can be able to score at will like Baron was able too. We can count on Jackson to make clutch shots, but for some reason I feel like he was only able to hit a lot of those shots last year because the defense was also worrying about Baron hitting a big jumper.
Last season we would see Jackson or Baron going for the big shot. Now that Baron’s gone, we can’t live with just one clutch jump shooter (Jackson)… the Ws will most likely get in a situation where Nellie will set up a play for Maggette to do something for the win. Hopefully Morrow or Belinelli become some sharpshooters that we can count on.

Recap
Hey guys I just wrote up a recap on my new blog. Wanted to get your guys’ thoughts. I know its a shameless plug and everything, but Its as deep an analysis as you can get considering the game was only on the radio and its the first game of the preseason. So for those of you who missed the game, i got you covered, and for any1 else id be glad to discuss :)

i wasn't expecting any new uniforms
When you make a change on a uniform, it usually takes 2-3 years. I just wanted to see what the new guys look like in the Warriors attire. Thanks for the link, though.

Oh haha
I misread your first post. Silly me.
Good game, mostly
Stinks that they didn’t get the win, but give the team a little more time to mesh and I think we’ll be fine this season. We have too much talent to think otherwise.
I wasn’t expecting the loss to be this close. Given that the Hornets were playing rooks that may or may not make the team (I’m assuming), the new Warriors still hung in there. Gotta give ’em credit for that.
After all that WE BELIEVE
chat we had here… if anyone is interested…
