They do well to create a big lead, but once the road team comes back and has the momentum, the Warriors stop playing and just shoot around. When the game gets tense, guys like Jackson and Maggette start ballhogging and chucking, they don’t know how to play their roles.

It’s like:

1st half:
“Ayee! We’re hella raw, look at us scoring we got this big lead!”

2nd half:
“Aww, the other team caught up, things are getting tense now. Damn, it was fun while it lasted; i’ll just rush myself and chuck shots now”.

…to teach them how to position themselves and box out. Our bigs need cojones as well.

Or just grab Turiaff’s.

…the Cavaliers will have a season not unlike their last few; namely, they’ll ride their All-Universe star to the conference finals, and MAYBE win, only to be slaughtered by the West representative. No matter how good they may look in season against a majority of teams that can’t catch up to what LeBron James can do, they’re still a team that is trying to lean on fringe NBA talents like Wally Sczerbiak, Ben Wallace, and Anderson Varejao to be the sturdy role players all great teams have. I don’t trust Ben Wallace after he quit on Chicago (and frankly didn’t get as much crap as he should’ve for it), I don’t trust big men who’re more interested in flopping than bolstering defense, and I don’t trust Sczerbiak to do much of anything. The Cavs right now have exactly one player you can consider a surefire powerful playoff showing from. Mo Williams is a fine guard for their system, but he’s only slightly a plus player by PER. Ilgauskas has a very impressive PER for the year, and he’s under 30 MPG, but I’m skeptical of his physical abilities at this point.

Basically, I don’t think it has any chance of happening.

lol, that picture sums it up. If there’s that many people on him, doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out someone else is WIDE open!

Mainly becuase I live in the central valley and have to resort to watchin the boring kings. But I was able to catch the live feed of this game and boy was I shocked to see how horrible we played. There were things that I witnessed that I learned not to do in high school that the warriors were still doing on a regular basis. Here is my keys to getting our asses handed to us:

1. Box the F out. I can’t say this enough. We got killed on the glass. BWight got boards taken from him left and becuase he is jsut trying to jump over people. Just put a body on someone.

2. Defensive Rotation- We suck at finding guys to guard. A lot of teh O Boards we are giving up is becuae people are coming over to help but no one is coming down to take the open guy. Nellie needs to take a bigger look at his d becuase people are missing a beat there.

3. Find the Open Guy- Jax was throwing up crap after crap, then he would try to force passes. This 1on1 game does nto work without an allstar. We need to move the ball around the perimeter, find driving lanes, and get to the hoop. Teams are finding out very quickly that Jax always backs down and then kicks out (actual pass happens 1/5 of the time)

4. Draw the foul- Now I know playing a team like Clevland we are not going to get a lot of calls. But if you take it to the hoop enough you will eventually get some calls.

5. Protect the hoop- Big Z got to the hoop way to much. All you have to do is put a body on him and make him shot from 10 feet as apposed to 3 feet in. I credit a lot of this to the attention we were putitng on Lebron. We lost track of the big guy.

All and all Pretty Horrible- oh and by the way we have the slowest run and gun in the league at this point. We need to get our style back. We need ellis back. we need to get some steals instead of these blocks.

Lastly, I hop the Warriors shut down Harrington and have him wishing he never left. I hop C-Murder shows why trading him for Al was the dumbest move NY could of ever did… Cmon warriors

can we borrow baron for like 5games?

1. We aren’t getting steals…
2. That means we aren’t running it back on the opponent
3.small ball defense as usual gives up a lot of points but we offense last year with baron

jackson single handedly destroyed this team in the second quarter. the ball was moving brilliantly in the first, but then for some reason jackson thought he had to do nothing but pound the ball and force up wild shots. u know it was bad when u had fitz calling him out for it too. that set the tone for the rest of the game.
