PrintGolden State Warriors at Los Angeles Clippers, Nov 15, 2008 12:30 PM PST
I'm going to put aside my anger ... and remember the good old days!
Warriors (W-L): 3-6
Clippers (W-L): 1-7
Time: 12:30 PM PST
TV: CSN
Radio: KNBR 680
When I heard in the offseason that Baron bolted for the Clippers, I wanted to hate him. I wanted nothing more than for Baron and Clippers to have the worst season possible. No matter how much he saved our franchise, I still had so much anger pent up that I couldn't muster any happiness for him to receive such a lucrative contract.
However, 9 games into the season I now look at our Warriors and the Clippers and I can't help but realize how all of this was just such a lose lose situation for everyone. The Clippers are the worst team in the NBA and though I thought I would be glad Baron is going through this, I'm really sad. Plus, our Warriors are in the "rebuilding" stage so in the end no one really wins. However, I'm not going to feel sorry for anyone who gets paid millions to play a damn game.
Today's matchup is big on drama and pride. Baron hosts the team who made him famous and wants to prove them wrong for not giving him the contract he wanted. The Warriors want to win to prove we don't really need Baron. Maggette wants to come off the injured list and show the Clippers they lost out on the swap. In the end no matter the outcome, it's not going to prove anything other than the highlight reels and that distant phrase we used to say ... "we believe".
YaoButta's Predictions
- Warriors win by 7.
- Maggette and Jackson have a big game. 20 plus points each.
- Baron Scores over 25 but shoots a low % by jacking up a lot of shots.
- Harrington gets traded for the Clipper Girls (God I hope so!)

WAIT FOR IT......
……“OMG! THAT’S THE PAST! BOOHOO GET OVER IT! WE’RE A NEW TEAM NOW! OMG STOP CRYING AND GET OVER THE PLAYERS LEAVING!!!!”
lol. But yeah, the Warriors were RUTHLESS on offense. All they needed was a dominant inside presence. I miss having the national spotlight on us, when the Warriors were one of the LAST EIGHT teams remaining in the NBA in 2007. I miss all those CELEBRITY FANS that would come to the games to watch the entertaining fast paced high octane offense. I guess Warriors fans can only have one playoff berth every 3-12 years. I guess i’m fine with that, rebuilding all the time.
I’ll still never forgive Tracy McGrady for allowing his Rockets to lose to the Jazz. It was Game 7, AND it was in T-Mac’s home court. The Warriors would have had a real good chance against the Rockets in the 2nd round instead of the Jazz. Yao is just way too slow compared to the athletic Carlos Boozer. And the Rockets barely had any depth that year, and the only other good big man on their team was Dikembe. Baron would have overpowered Rafer Alston. Basically we would have just had to worry about T-Mac and Head.
But yeah, lets get over it. lol. Because, we’re rebuilding again.

You remember that season?
The Warriors seemed to suck, everyone was hurt….
Dajuan Wagner wasn’t healthy enough to play. Ike Diogu was out for a month. Pietrus and Murphy both had broken noses. Dunleavy had a sprained ankle. Jason Richardson was out for 2 months because of a freak hand injury.
To make things worse, all the injuries to the team put to much pressure on Baron to play hard, and he ended up getting injured himself. He had to get knee surgery in the middle of the season and we didn’t really know when he’d come back. We thought our season was over. Another year added to our playoff drought.
On the bright side, Monta and Biedrins were making a name for themselves in the league. And out of no where, Chris Mullin makes the big trade with Indiana. The Warriors roster changed dramatically.
Jason Richardson comes back, and then Baron comes back ASAP after his knee surgery. The Warriors finally have a healthy team to work with. When Baron came back, the Warriors were about 7-9 games below .500 and only had 21 games left to go in the season. To make things worse, the Warriors had the toughest remaining schedule in the league. Don Nelson held a team meeting to try to get everyone’s heads together. The result: the Warriors go to Detroit and blow the Pistons out by over 30 points.
Next thing you know, the Warriors go on an incredible 16-5 run to make the playoffs. Barely anyone expected the Warriors to do anything in the postseason. Sure, the Warriors always do good against the Mavericks, but that’s just regular season. “The Playoffs is a whole different ball game, buddy”.
I remember being on realgm.com and all these fans from other teams were laughing at Warriors fans for thinking that they can beat the Mavericks. I had to make this video to get everyone pumped up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-CDRV4IR7w
At the time, it had a lot of views (it was on my old account that got deleted) and there were hella ppl on the comments section showing how pumped up they are.
and then blah blah blah, I just realized that i’m getting too reminiscent right now. LOL. ight ima just stop typing right now.
but yeah, Warriors surprised everyone. No one really knew about their 16-5 run. They just thought that the Warriors made it in regularly. Then you see the Warriors in game one making all these crazy three pointers and all these crazy shots and fastbreaks. They kinda shocked the league with that win, but it would only get crazier later on in the series. Baron had like 30+ points, 15+ assists and 8 rebounds in Game 1. He was the best player in the playoffs..
then blah blah ight ima stop typing now. getting too nostalgic.

aww and Matt Barnes
When he played for the 76ers, his coach Maurice Cheeks criticized him when he saw Matt practicing three pointers in practice. He told Matt that his game belongs in the paint and that he’s not a shooter. Matt only hit about 19 three pointers in his whole career before Golden State.
Barnes had no success. He was thinking about GIVING UP on basketball and wanted to join the NFL since he got invited to some training camps. He got that “Believe” tattoo to symbolize how he knows he can do better. He was playing in a gym, and fortunately for him Nellie was there. Nellie thought that Barnes might be a good addition to the team, and Matt ends up being the last player to make the Warriors roster.
And then you know the rest…
Matt Barnes thrives in the offense. In a game against his former team, the 76ers, Barnes proves his old coach wrong. Barnes remembered how Cheeks didn’t want him shooting three’s. Matt ended up making SEVEN three pointers against the 76ers in that game. After he made his 7th three, he looked towards the 76ers bench and grinned at his old coach.
He ended up being a KEY player for the Warriors, the first time he’s ever had an important role on a team. He only made 19 three’s in his career before GSW, but then he hit over 100 three’s in one season with Golden State, including big shots in the playoffs.
and then blah blah blah i’m being too nostalgic again. time for me to move on.

The asian guy that we all started seeing on TV during the Warriors 16-5 run. He helped give us fans hope, and once we made the playoffs the whole slogan just took off.

But yeah, another random thing to mention. I remember when Baron verbally agreed to sign with the Clippers, all of their fans were so happy. They all thought that Baron would join Brand to form a dynamic duo that would contend for a championship.
Clippers fans were on top of the world for about a week till Elton left, lol.

I think Oklahoma City has the Clips beat for the worst team in the NBA award.
Great video – I’ll always remember that #10 shot he made at the buzzer. awesome
this
would be the worst loss of the season….until we lose 3 more times to the clips.

"Baron Scores over 25 but shoots a low % by jacking up a lot of shots."
And then coach Dunleavy benches Baron for improvising too much.
not
to make things sound bad but according to nba live using 365 we are going to get smoked by the clippers by 30 :’(

are you serious?
That’s not really realistic for a game that advertises itself as a basketball simulation game. Sure, we might lose by 30+, but we’re not THAT bad. Not even the Pistons blew us out, and they just beat the Lakers last night too.
BTW, the Lakers are crazy right now. They lead the league in HELLA catagories. Number 1 in points per game, number 1 in opponent points per game. Usually when a team is one of the top scoring teams in the league, they’re opponents score a lot too. And when a team is a good defensive team but doesn’t score much, then they’re opponents don’t score much either. But with the Lakers, they’re number 1 in scoring and they beat they’re opponents by an average of 18 points a game.
So random, that’s why I love ESPN over TNT. I like TNT’s halftime shows better, but ESPN is MUCH BETTER when you’re watching the game. It has a more “sportsy” vibe to it, and they always bring up tons of stats during the game.

Great Video,
I was looking forward to that circus 3 pointer where he was also looking for the foul from Nowitski in the playoffs.
And the game winner against Houston.

Maybe neither
Baron plays in a different system now and can’t really chuck.
Jackson can’t afford to chuck three’s because the Warriors are missing a lot of their scorers, and that Jackson has to focus on doing other things to score. I’d rather have Morrow chuck three’s than Jack.

It ain’t about laundry, it’s about good people.
BD did a tremendous amount of positive work for the local community. Before folks diss the good man with cheap irrational shots, pause for a second and marinate on that.
Hoops-wise along with Nellie, J-Rich, Jack, Al, MP2, and Barnes, Baron put this sorry hoops franchise back on the basketball map. If it’s easy for you to forget that, well you probably weren’t around for the 12 years of suck.

Correction: Was a Factor
He was telling everyone; media (KNBR, newspapers), friends, teammates that he will stay. He ended up not doing so. Was it Rowell’s fault? Could be, but they offered him a contract nonetheless. If his intentions were said before the draft or before we wasted our Trade Exception instead of minutes or hours before Free Agency then we would’ve been better off.
Most Warrior fans keep thinking he was the key factor in our resurrection when in reality it was a bigger collected effort (And yes I know you stated others). He was here 1 1/2 seasons before we became “good” again.
And on a side note, Derek Fisher one of my personal faves, in my opinion he did alot more than BD did in the community in a shorter stint and no one cares lol. In fact, a good amount of Warrior fans hate him.
Hasheem "The Beat" Thabeet or Brandon Jennings. A Warrior in 09.
I'm one of them.
I can’t stand Fisher and the Fakers. I’m just now starting to cheer Turiaf. I thought Turiaf would be Fisher all over again. Garbage with us, than go back to the Fakers and be productive for them.
There ya go lol.
He was not garbage when he was here, he provided much needed leadership and was a starter at PG for us. He is one of the class acts of the NBA, but sadly he is/was under appreciated.

Chris Mullin was telling everyone; media (KNBR, newspapers), friends, teammates that he would not trade Jason Richardson. He ended up doing so. Was it J-Rich’s fault? Could be, but he worked hard and was a fan favorite. If Mullin’s intentions were said before the draft or before season ticket holders had to sign up/ renew then we would’ve been better off with a more reasonable price.
My point is it’s a business and Warriors fans can’t have their cake and eat it too so to speak. The Warriors trade J-Rich and fans are happy because “they saved money on the cap” (which is complete joke for a multitude of reasons). BD bolts The Town to go somewhere where he feels respected and financially rewarded with what he wanted and he’s vilified here by many. Why should Baron care about leaving the Warriors “better off”. They didn’t give him the respect or dinero he wanted. He doesn’t play for the Warriors, BD plays for the division rival LA Clippers. From his and his new team’s perspective the worse off he left the Warriors, the better. Look the organization didn’t care about Jason Richardson- they dumped him off to an expansion franchise. I don’t see many fans complaining about that, but for some odd reason I see fans complaining and pointing the finger at BD for the Warriors current state of disarray.
“It’s a business”.

I will bite at your troll attempt.

Italic part is true.
Bold part makes no sense at all, especially considering J-Rich couldn’t veto a trade.
Striked part doesn’t make sense either because we had a good amount of 2’s and 3’s to replace J-Rich (Monta starting at the 2, Jax at the 3). And I don’t get the reasonable price part.
And on to your non-troll part. I for one was not happy with the J-Rich trade, in fact most dubs fans were not happy either, but it did make sense since it created cap space. “Why would Baron care about leaving the Warriors ‘better off’”: Like I said, he told everyone he was staying, so we were not geared to replace him. The Warriors offered him what they thought he was worth and time will if Baron was worth the Clippers contract or a most likely cheaper contract extension from us. And back to the J-Rich thing, I think you are wrong in believing only so many fans care about J-Rich’s departure. J-Rich was cheered on his return to the Oracle, can we expect that from Baron? And yes I am pointing a finger, maybe not THE finger at Baron.
And no duh, its a business.
Hasheem "The Beat" Thabeet or Brandon Jennings. A Warrior in 09.
Not sure why it's a "troll attempt"
And no the J-Rich trade didn’t “create” any cap space. All it did was increase profit margins for Cohan and company for 1 year. It made no sense from a basketball standpoint or in the long term interests of this franchise. Don’t forget they traded him when his value was pretty low.
Like I said, he told everyone he was staying, so we were not geared to replace him.
Again that’s the organization’s fault/ blunder, not his. Not his problem, nor should he care.
It’s interesting you framed it as “we”, although sadly we don’t have much control over these things- it’s dangerously left up to the incompetent Cohan/Rowell combo. I’m sure we would’ve hooked him up with that reasonable deal that Rowell reportedly vetoed, but sadly we don’t have the power here.
And back to the J-Rich thing, I think you are wrong in believing only so many fans care about J-Rich’s departure.
I hope you’re right and I’m wrong there my friend.

Um…
Have you watched the Warriors this year?
Brandan Wright is really, really good. He makes much more sense for this team than J-Rich. And losing J-Rich allowed us to add Maggette, who’s at least as good (I think better, but it’s debatable). We essentially traded a year of J-Rich for a hugely promising young power forward.
I suffered through the twelve years in the wilderness just like you, and I loved “We Believe” as much as anyone. But this J-Rich talk is getting delusional. It was a great trade for the team, and is one of the reasons why this team’s future is bright.
"getting delusional"?
Too late.
Seriously though, “it didn’t create cap space”? How can you ignore the fact that it helped us to sign AB and Monta. Obviously Baron opting out changed the financial situation but dealing J-Rich when we did helped us to secure a guard who scored 20+pts while shooting over 50% w/ 4ast and 5reb last year and a guy who is averaging about 17pts and 15reb right now… read that again. We have a center who is averaging 17pts and 15reb… on the Warriors…. 17 and 15.
"...OlympicMike is clearly the Barack Obama of GSoM"-Sleepy
(Correct me if I’m wrong) There is nothing under the current CBA that prevented the Warriors from resigning Andris Biedrins or Monta Ellis (“thanks” the Gilbert Arenas rule which unfortunately came too late for Dubs Nation). It had nothing to do with cap space. I’m sorry but ya’ll have bought the cheap nonsense the Warriors PR staff wants you to believe.
Saying that the J-Rich trade “helped us” (funny how Warriors fans seem to think they actually saved money here or made the signings) the Warriors sign an immature liar right now doesn’t really help the argument that the J-Rich trade was a good one either.
I’ve said it countless times- trading J-Rich was fine. He was a fan favorite, but replaceable. However THAT trade at THAT time was just foolish.
But seriously— 17 and 15! Imagine what Boom Dizzle, J-Rich, Jack, and Biedrins would do to this league!

Imagine a 48-win team, with a roster that blocks Monta Ellis, a better player than both Jack and J-Rich. I can imagine friggin’ dinosaurs if I want. Why bother imagining a poorly constructed 6th seed?
I think the moped is the only thing blocking Monta Ellis, but jokes aside the starting 5 during We Believe:
- Baron
- Monta
- J-Rich
- Jack
- Al
Swap out Al with Biedrins and we’re good to go. Al would make a great 6th man and I bet his mood would brighten up with BD and JR around.
Why bother imagining a poorly constructed 6th seed?
I meed why bother with a poorly constructed 8th seed? Because the upset the #1 seed Mavericks!
Because it’s a hell of a lot better than counting lotto balls! But I really don’t think that team is just a 6th seed. VERY VERY entertaining team too.

True...
There was nothing beyond your standard NBA fiscal responsibility stopping them from re-signing AB and Monta (though it was not the Arenas rule, just standard Bird rights). The problem is that we would have been DEEP in the luxury tax. I know that doesn’t concern you but very few owners out there allow there teams to get into the lux tax unless they have a great shot at a championship.
I really do wish that we had an owner who didn’t mind paying extra to field the best team possible. I’m with you there. But we don’t. I’m not going to get all mad that he has the same directives that most owners do (don’t go into the tax). It sucks that they raised ticket prices again so I can feel your pain in that respect.
The thing that does concern me is that Rowell seems to fancy himself as a GM all of a sudden. Instead of vetoing Mullin’s moves he is just trying to do it himself now.
"...OlympicMike is clearly the Barack Obama of GSoM"-Sleepy
Good points
I don’t believe they’d be DEEP in luxury tax for more than a year as that silly Foyle contract would come off the books after 1 season, but we’d have to look at the numbers. I don’t buy the fiscal responsibility excuse when the Warriors are in the 5th biggest market and benefitting from the biggest ticket % price hike league-wide.
But here’s the thing I don’t get. I see Warriors fans criticizing Baron Davis for going to the Clips to take more money, but no one criticizes Cohan and crew for cutting costs and not caring about putting the best product out there possible. Why the double standard? If BD’s going to get criticized for getting his, then why doesn’t Cohan? “It’s a business”
Being a good fan to me means pushing your team to be the best. Cohan, Rowell, Mullin’s work- um, not the best.
Nevertheless, good conversation. I don’t mind being the one no one agrees with as long as it’s a respectful and entertaining conversation- which this has been.
by Atma Brother ONE on Nov 15, 2008 5:05 PM PST up reply actions
Double standard...
I agree completely on that one. You won’t ever catch me giving a guy crap for taking the money. I think that most of the guys who give Baron a hard time is just sour grapes. I can’t blame the guy for leaving especially given the circumstances.
As far as being deep in the tax goes, yeah if we didn’t sign anyone else it would only be for one year. But that’s not really how it works, there is the MLE every year and rookies getting new contracts and so on. How would we afford to re-sign Morrow for $15mil/yr (I’m joking I think)? Also don’t forget that by going into the tax you also give up your share of some of the revenue sharing from the NBA so there is really a double penalty.
"...OlympicMike is clearly the Barack Obama of GSoM"-Sleepy
But here's how I see it
The Warriors need to building a winning culture and that starts by making repeat performances to the playoffs. Financially that’s a big bonus in the long run as well. One year of luxury tax is nothing if you have your eyes on a larger prize.
by Atma Brother ONE on Nov 15, 2008 5:19 PM PST up reply actions
Just speaking of myself… I don’t begrudge Baron for going to the Clips. He should’ve. They offered him a lot more money than we did. He made the right call, and I genuinely hope it works out for him (though not at our expense).
I agree that you, that ideally you’d have an owner who’s willing to go deep into the luxury tax to improve a team. But how many owners are actually willing to do that for a team that’s not a title contender? Paul Allen and Mark Cuban, the two eccentrics, are the only ones I can think of. I’d love it if Cohan joined them in that endeavor, but I understand why he doesn’t.
As for “pushing the team to be the best”, I agree. But in my opinion, that’s exactly what the Warriors are doing. I believe they’ve given themselves a shot at a team — not this year, but in the couple years after — that’s significantly better than the “We Believe” outfit, which is why I don’t have much beef with Cohan/Rowell/Mullin.
You disagree… you liked the “We Believe” nucleus better. That’s all well and good, and you have legitimate reasons for feeling that way. But the people who disagree with you don’t care about the team less or expect less from it than you do. We all want the Warriors to get to the top of the mountain. We just disagree about the right path to take.
J-Rich trade bad = incredibly interesting and debatable topic
[Right now this year] “Brandan Wright is really, really good.” or “hugely promising young power forward” = delusional
by Atma Brother ONE on Nov 15, 2008 4:33 PM PST up reply actions
Brandan Wright has played extremely well so far this year, just as he did last season. Watch the games.
Brandan Wright is an efficient scorer and an impact defender. Watch the games.
The more Brandan Wright plays, the better the team does. Watch the games.
Brandan Wright is a 21-year-old power forward who shoots 55% from the field and blocks a shot about every ten minutes, which is as good a rate as anybody in the league. There isn’t a single team in the league who wouldn’t love to have a guy like that. I doubt there’s a single team in the league that would rather have J-Rich at his salary than Wright at his. That trade certainly hasn’t done the Bobcats any favors.
Brandan Wright is not and might never become a superstar in this league, but he is already an effective player at a key position, at 21 years of age. If that isn’t “hugely promising”, I don’t know what is.
I can’t even really tell if you’re a Warriors fan anymore, but if you are, get happy! Brandan Wright is good.
I doubt there’s a single team in the league that would rather have J-Rich at his salary than Wright at his.
Those would be the teams that aren’t playing to win now and have owners who are just cutting costs. Ahem, Cohan.
I like Wright although he hasn’t produced like I expected him to yet. To say that a guy who contributed 4ppg and 2.6 rbs in only 38 games last year “played extremely well” is well just incredibly homerish. His game against the Nuggets this year was fabulous, but the rest range from terrible to okay.
I’m not saying Wright can’t be a good player, but let’s chill a bit before we anoint him a future cornerstone. You’ve got to put together one whole productive season before that happens.
by Atma Brother ONE on Nov 15, 2008 5:16 PM PST up reply actions
Wright has played extremely well whenever he’s been given the opportunity… there’s nothing homerish about recognizing that. Whenever he’s been given minutes, he’s produced. He had great games against Minnesota and Detroit, in addition to the Denver game. He hasn’t been given consistently big minutes, but when a guy plays consistently well, that means something, don’t you think?
Also, winning teams don’t pay B-plus shooting guards 12 million dollars a year. If Cohan does open his wallet further at some point, I hope he’ll remember that.
Wright has played extremely well whenever he’s been given the opportunity
Well that’s the problem. He hasn’t earned that opportunity in Nellie’s eyes. I don’t think it’s a flat out “give him minutes and he’ll produce” case with Wright. As my man FJ noted earlier this week- it’s easy to just focus on the highlight blocks, etc from Wright and the young guys and not see all those terrible mistakes.
12 million for J-Rich (a big SG with 22ppg, 5rpg, 40% 3pt— in a slower tempo system + some intangibles) ain’t a bad deal at all.
Now 11 million a year for a guy who violated his contract riding a moped, lied about it, has still yet to make a real apology, is suspended for 30 games (averaging 0’s this season) and might never be the same player again (hopefully not though) is not a contract winning teams dish out. That my friends could determine the future of this franchise for the next 3-4 years unfortunately.

…though, that Don Nelson should be as open to scrutiny for his decisions as anybody else? As easy as it is to focus on highlight blocks, it’s similarly easy to fall back on Nelson’s recent and past career success and lose sight of whether his decisions are helping this team, and these players right now.
No doubt
Although I think Nellie gets way too much criticism from the media and fans who don’t as much hoops knowledge as this guy has in his (big) pinky finger. Where are all those folks who were whining about him not knowing what he was doing by not playing:
- POB
- Ike Diogu
- Kosta Perovic
Nellie could be wrong, but I doubt it. If/ when he decides to give Wright and others big minutes, I’d venture to say he’s doing it at the right time.

I agree that blocks aren’t the whole story, but I haven’t seen Wright mess up on defense. Randolph has messed up a whole bunch, and Nellie rightly called him out on it. Wright, on the other hand, has been holding his own quite well… he’s a plus defender. I think the spotty minutes Wright has gotten so far are more of a reflection on Nellie than Wright.
Mopedgate sucks, no question. But I’d still rather have Monta over J-Rich by a country mile. We’ll see how his comeback goes.
Wright's production
at this point he has played enough minutes that you can just add them all up and divide by 36 and see that if you played him starters minutes he’d give you bout 15pts 9reb 2.5blk on 56% shooting without turning the ball over too much. There isn’t really much doubt statistically speaking. As for why he’s not getting those kind of minutes, your guess is as good as mine, but to my eye Nellie seems to get a lot more aggravated when young players make mistakes than when vets do.
And as far as placing the hopes of your franchise into a young talented player and being let down. That has happened to even the winningest of franchises. Remember Len Bias?
"...OlympicMike is clearly the Barack Obama of GSoM"-Sleepy
There isn’t really much doubt statistically speaking.
I’d be careful about that. Wright’s numbers might not extrapolate well. Remember the more he plays, the more he won’t just be an X-factor (which he is now) and the other teams will have a better scouting report on him.
It’s especially problematic for players who have a fairly limited skillset- although Biedrins is putting up nearly 17ppg right now, so you never know.
Also remember he’d have to play a ton of minutes alongside Biedrins, which could actually hurt both of their point totals. The reasoning being that there’s no reason at all for opposing 4’s and 5’s who are all bigger than the Wright-Biedrins combo to EVER leave the lane. Just push them around and be physical with them Dare them to shoot a 7 or 8 footer, because they won’t. I have a feeling Nellie has avoided playing them together for long stretches because they make each other easier to guard.
I don’t think at this point in his career Wright can average 15ppg over the course of a season. Even in Nellie’s system. That’s just a lot of points.
9rpg seems reasonable though although it would cut into Biedrins’ gaudy rebound totals.
But don’t forget the fatigue factor (which is going to hit Biedrins in about a month or two- always does). I doubt Wright with his frame can continue his production rate playing heavy minutes at this level over 60+ games.
And as far as placing the hopes of your franchise into a young talented player and being let down. That has happened to even the winningest of franchises. Remember Len Bias?
Not really sure what you’re trying to say there, but if you’re even remotely suggesting that KG 2.0 will bolt for the Warriors in 2020, then it’s all about We Believe 2.0!
by Atma Brother ONE on Nov 15, 2008 8:01 PM PST up reply actions
The Wright/Biedrins non-shooting tandem is definitely a potential issue. However, in their (brief) time together so far, it’s worked out well, largely because Andris has been moving around a lot on offense, working pick-and-rolls with Jack and such. Both guys are quite mobile and active, which helps cut down on clogging.
Long-term, they’ll only be a really good pairing if Wright becomes a viable shooter. But he’s actually not a bad shooter… he has an okay midrange game. He hasn’t been taking jumpers because Nellie doesn’t yet draw up plays for him, but Wright isn’t a complete non-shooter like Biedrins.
Two things...
First:
You are right the rigors of a long season might wear on Wright. I’m not sure if he could keep it up at this point in his career but he is that caliber of player. He will get there sooner rather than later IMO. As far as rebounding goes IIRC JAE has shown in the past that who a player plays next to has little if any effect on their rebounding stats. Now the fact that neither of them can stretch the D on offense could be an issue until Wright improves his mid-range shot.
Second:
The Len Bias comment was directed at your statement that signing guys who make bad decisions (Monta) and put their careers at risk is not something that winning franchises do. I was just trying to say that even the best franchises can sign someone who lets them down.
"...OlympicMike is clearly the Barack Obama of GSoM"-Sleepy
As far as rebounding goes IIRC JAE has shown in the past that who a player plays next to has little if any effect on their rebounding stats.
Well it’s a little tough, because I can’t my hands on this worldly data set to do my own statistical analyses. I’m just not buying it though. As a Warriors fan I’ve been burned by the “T-Doubles” of the world.
I’ll try to find some time to write a post about this, but don’t you think Biedrins’ rebounding totals are inflated by the system and the terrible rebounders around him? Great rebounder, but 14.8rpg? Seems fishy.
by Atma Brother ONE on Nov 15, 2008 8:41 PM PST up reply actions
Well sure...
I doubt he’ll average 15 a game for an entire year, but he is still a great rebounder if you adjust for pace of play.
Just speaking anecdotally, I don’t see why having poor rebounders around him gives him a better chance of grabbing the board. He is competing against the other team not ours. How often do you see two guys on the same team fight over a rebound? Once every couple of games? I can’t think of a time that I’ve seen AB wrestle one away from another Warrior who would have held onto it had he been a better rebounder.
"...OlympicMike is clearly the Barack Obama of GSoM"-Sleepy
some intangibles?
He’s got all the intangibles.
No one made me more proud to be a
warriors fan than JRich.
He improved every season, Gave 110% on the floor, and felt bad when the team didn’t live up to expectations. We shoulda made him general manager instead of dumping him.

Are you talking to me?
If so, that’s offending. People who know me know that I’ve been with the Warriors since day one. Yes, I have been here for the 12 years of “suck.” I remember players we’ve had from the years of “suck” as well. Vonteego, David Wood, BJ Armstrong, Carlos Rogers, Larry Hughes, Billy Owens for a 2nd time, Donyell Marshall, Eric Dampier, Ricky Pearce, Rod Higgins, Joe Smith, Todd Fuller… Todd Fuller alone should say something. I hate bandwagoners, so please don’t ever put me in the same pool as them.

He and Jack need to be in together to hold on to this one…

I am sorry to keep bringing this up but...
Morrow is clearly better than Marco. He is so much quicker with his release and just looks more comfortable. I like Marco but he is outmatched by morrow
morrow
is our Monta now
brb, going to ORACLE
lol we have 90 pts at the end of the 3rd... nice
hopefully our final score isn’t something in the high 90’s or low 100’s
yeah though Morrow even hittin the shots with bad passes.
most shooters need a solid rythm pass
Thornton
bumps into Biedrins and he got a foul, we have players bump into Kaman 20 times and he only has 2 fouls.
wow
phantom foul on Beans. Can’t say I’m surprised.

they shoudl have called a backcourt violation on that play
just to make up for the bad call in the first quarter
Jackson and Beans got the double double

He was making his shots. Wish he drove more to the basket, but I guess foul trouble was an issue.
It's so weird to finish a Warriors game
and there’s still light out. I feel like I should be going to sleep soon.
i wonder if morrow could one day
be a great pure shooter like ray allen. i know thats high expectations but to score 37 points in his first start is pretty impressive
WE SUCK!
I’m done being a Clippers fan until they show some damn hustle. I would hold off on Morrow and wait until you see how he plays against other teams. We’ve been making random guys look like superstars in every one of our games thus for. Beno Udrih for 30?! Morrow goes for 37?!
this is utter BS. I’m disgusted. Congrats to you guys though. I’ll have to watch you against another team….we make every team look good.
I´m sad here man
I was rooting for Baron and the Clips, I´m even using my brand new Baron #1 Clippers t shirt, I really hope you guys put some chemistry together and start winning some games… best of luck man

Thanks we need it....
…..we were really optimistic before the season started, hopeful during the season, and then now I think a majority of us are extremely disappointed. Warriors are my second favorite team hopefully one of us makes it to the playoffs (I really doubt it will be the Clips right now).

doubt the Warriors will make the playoffs, so we´ll probably die together… just like the good ol days of Sucking!! hhaahha

hit at least 15 points with jackson, beans, n morrow all postin up double doubles. If that can make a warrior fan sleep good, iono what can. but of course we were playing one of the worst teams in the league.
lol
sounds like the warriors. We have a term called “warrior killers”
brb, going to ORACLE
Yeah
Funny….we call them Clipper killers.
Lets hope nba2k9 adds morrow
With an 90+ rating on 3pts :) Especially if marco is being traded
Indeed
I sometimes play him as PG because he is overrated in the game
he makes
everything in that game, hes almost rated as good as biedrins but its still a sick game. live sucks. 2k is really realistic
Except layups
He always gets blocked for me, so I always just shoot. Same with CJ
NBA LIVE 09 Likes the Clippers for some reason
They have us at 87 and Lakers at 89.
I shouold have gotten 2k9…
Warriors are underrated on 2k9
Though that is because we are without monta. buike is quite underrated in it.
in
live we ar e a 76 and they are a 82
So I don't have a signature well these words would do! Who knew that upgrades can have downgrades too!

Download the OS outsiders Roster file. They have him, though you may need to adjust some attributes after today. lol.

What?!
2k9 don’t update rosters like live. because at 12 am i’m going to have Morrow in my starting line automatically and would be able to hit any shot he wants. I love 365 though the game sucks and still makes dream cast games look good.

Props to Draftexpress
From this summer:
Anthony Morrow gets the nod for our "undrafted sleeper of the day" award, as he was able to drop 19 points in just 23 minutes of action, on a scintillating 5 of 7 from beyond the arc. Morrow was one of the best shooters in college basketball this season, hitting 45% of his shots beyond the arc playing in the ACC, so its not like this is exactly startling news. It is interesting to see how quickly he has been able to expand his range to the NBA line, and just how intelligently he moved off the ball finding open spaces for which to get his shot off. He kept things nice and simple all day long, sticking to what he does best, while also mixing in a little one dribble pull-up jumper from mid-range for good measure. He creates separation nicely and has a gorgeous text-book release.

Is it our broadcast? The csn bay area one?
We have some of the best broadcasters out there
Thoughts on Morrow and Monta
That’s going to be pretty great to watch (if this isn’t just the case of another Clipper Killer). Morrow spreads the floor, Monta can penetrate score or dish it out to Morrow for the 3.
God DAMN, that was fun.
Not sure where Wright was… maybe he pulled something, or Nellie was making some sort of disciplinary point. He should be getting 20-25 minutes minimum, and he should certainly be playing over Randolph. Yeah, Randolph had a fun move or two, but he looks pretty lost out there overall, and I don’t think his presence in the rotation really helps anyone right now.
Anyway, it was just the Clippers, but this was a strong performance all around. Beans did his thing, and actually showed off some pretty nifty passing skills. Maggette’s looking more comfortable, although his three-point is still mysteriously absent. Jackson passed well and kept the silliness to a minimum. C.J. actually did a great job off the bench, and kept his chin up even though his starting spot is gone for good. Everybody passed very well today.
I really liked the game ‘Buike had. He disappeared for long stretches, but caught fire late, and ended up having an effective performance. Given the sheer number of scorers on the team, it’s good that we have one guy who is content to fade into the background when his shot isn’t falling. Not everybody can gun their way out of a slump like Jack.
And Anthony Morrow… good lord. I mean, that was an almost historically efficient performance. He looked absolutely incredible, and showed off some stuff besides just his shooting touch.
It’s only one game. On the other hand, I don’t think there’s ever been a player who had a game that good who didn’t become an effective NBA starter or better. We’ll certainly find out how good he is, because Nellie’s probably writing “Mrs. Don Morrow” in his notebook right now.
Fun, fun stuff. We’ll see what the Warriors can carry over when they play a real team on Tuesday.
aright

Went to the game today
The arena wasn’t very full, but it looked like nearly half the fans were Warriors fans. Glad to see we could be heard on TV :)
Morrow was sick!
Saw a lot of we believe shirts on the telecast
Was the entire crowd cheering morrow or just the warrior fans?
how
long are those shirts going to be used before they wear out or get holes in them?

I was under a rock today
I just got the news about the game and about Morrow.
I’m blown away. Ridiculous.
I pray i never have to use a gun again...
...unless i'm at a strip club parking lot...
...and somebody tries to run me over with their car...
...But how often does that happen??
hey now mr. yaobuttaming....
to comment on your pre-game analysis, baron didn’t “bolt” the warriors. he was offered the contract he wanted and deserved, he accepted, and the idiot that is rob rowell vetoed the agreement that baron had w/ mullin and other management. we had him… and warriors president screwed us over. so don’t hate on baron… he always wanted to stay… i can only hope that you and the many other fans that don’t know this info will proudly stand up and give BD the ovation he deserves when he returns to the bay area in january. GO WARRIORS! …
p.s. i was at the game today @ staples, and all the dubs fans here were glad to see baron doing well… but of course happier to see anthony morrow going lights out and absolutely killing it.
How is saying BD "bolted" hating on him?
It’s just shorthand for “signed elsewhere” — a simple statement of fact. Your mileage may vary on the culprits and motives.

whoa whoa whoa... take it easy
i wasn’t implying that baron bolting the warriors meant yaobutta was hating on baron, nor am i disagreeing with you in regards to the definition of the word. i was merely letting mr. yao know that he doesn’t have to hate baron, as he claims he wanted to do so in the very first sentence of his report (and which i’m sure he doesn’t really). and i also know that a lot of “fans” dislike baron’s departure and will choose to boo him, and i just believe it’s unfair if they don’t know or choose to understand what really happened. … my mileage??? okayyyyy lol
Actually
Yaobutta’s been my boy for over a decade (damn we’re old) and I personally thought he was hating on his Boomness. Probably what provoked my rare guest(?) appearance in the open thread and what made me drop so many pro-Boom and down with the corporate machine lines. Haha. It’s all good.

"...OlympicMike is clearly the Barack Obama of GSoM"-Sleepy
Re-reading Yao's post
I think he was talking initial, gut reaction, not at all trying to lay blame on one party or another. It’s only natural for there to be feelings of betrayal, sadness, anger when your franchise player leaves, and for that anger to be directed at someone: either at BD, or management, or some combo.
Personally, I never resented BD’s decision, and wouldn’t ever dream of booing him. I think he’s pretty clearly got bigger career plans than just hoops, and that LA is probably the best place for him to realize them. But then, I also thought his opting out was for the greater long-term good of the franchise, so I didn’t have a lot of resentment/anger to deal with. I’ll never have anything but love for him and the life he breathed into the Ws.
As for the “mileage” line: like half the stuff I post here, I totally cripped it from JAE… ;-)

BD vs Sjax
Both played over 40 mins
Both shot 7-19 fg
Sjax was 1-7 3pt, bd was 3-10
Both 4 reb
Sjax 3 to, bd 2
sjax 10 asts, bd 11 asts
Baron shot more and hit more fts
Interesting fact: sjax had no fouls!
I was at the game.
I came in right when Jackson was hit with the technical. Morrow was unbelievable. Once he found his stroke, the momentum he carried boosted his confidence, and he was hitting every ridiculous shot. 37 points. Wow.
i was also at the game!!!
i was there from the start, and it didn’t take all that long to realize that morrow was onto something special. the warriors fans (who certainly seemed to outnumber the clippers fans) started going nuts everytime he hit a shot in the second half. when he had 37, we started chanting “Mor-row Mor-row”, trying to get him 40, and I could swear a few clippers fans chipped in too.
It was my first time at the staples center, and i must say, its a pretty sweet place. fill that thing up with warriors fans and it’d be game over.
Moreoh?
Dang, I had to frame in a new skylight so I missed all the game except the end. How did Moreoh get so many shots? what position did he play? How was his defense?

Not only did "A-Mo" score the most points by a rookie this year, eclipsing O.J. Mayo’s 33, he scored the most points ever by an undrafted rookie in his inaugural campaign. To date, that campaign includes only four games.
