Game #4: Warriors @ Grizzlies - The Battle for .500!
Golden State Warriors at Memphis Grizzlies, Nov 3, 2008 5:00 PM PST
We could be looking at the next Three Amigos for the Warriors
Warriors (W-L): 1-2
Grizzlies (W-L): 1-2
Time: 5:00 PM PST
TV: CSN
Radio: KNBR 1050
The Grizzlies also have a young team led by Rudy Gay and rookie O.J Mayo (two guys I wouldn't mind having on the Warriors). We should be able to win easily however those two could create some matchup problems on the offensive end and with Marc Gasol in the middle this could be an interesting game.
- Warriors win by 8
- The Three Amigos each score over 15 points a piece.
- Rudy Gay scores 25+ points
- Al Harrington asks to be traded during half time. Nellie sits on him.
LET'S DO THIS WARRIORS!!!

well
We either win tonight and lose on Friday. Or we lose tonight and win at home during Filipino Heritage Night. I prefer the latter.
Of course, I’d love for them to win both games instead of just splitting! But that’s asking a lot.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I was the first no vote this morning.
My foresight will be gratifying when the warriors lose this.

the warriors should easily win this one
coming off a nice win on the road and after two close games against good teams, the warriors should be playing with enough confidence to beat the young grizzlies. we may have the youngest team in the league but our starters are all veterans, hell even the 22 year old Biedrins is a seasoned vet now
i second warriors by 12
never
say we should easily win anything. when it comes to the warriors we do everything the hard way. we earn our win ha

F**K REFS!!!
Wright sucks guys....sorry to tell you....
Is Turiaf hurt?
Why has he had no run througout entire half?
There is a reason why BWright doesn’t get run…..He is awful.
Are you watching the game?
Or are you just looking at the play by play?
Member of the "Stop calling him Beans" movement
Wright was playing good
marco just trash at d
And that is why Bellinelli can't get any run.....
Simple asssignment of not keeping an eye on the man you are guarding….
He can’t do it. He leaves Mayo alone to spectate a dunk attempt by another player and Mayo ends up with an easy open jumper.
Turiaf must have been a late scratch.
Harrington must think he is Iverson
because he is taking a TON of shots this season. He already has 10 shots in this game. Just through the first three games he is shooting 17 a game with only 37% success rate. Last year he averaged 11 per and the year before 14.
Was he given the green light to showcase him and get some trad action going?
Mags is gone...
Hamstring again….
We’re in trouble tonight.

I hope Maggette
Comes back in the second half, cause Jackson will just try to make up for his absence by shooting twice as much. I want to see Anthony Randolph have his debut in the DIRTY SOUTH!!!!!
NO...Jackson needs to shoot more...
he really needs to come out of his shell and shoot the ball a bit more. He should start way behind the 3 point line.

What is it with Duke players that can’t hit free throws?
We were up 5 with 2 minutes left in quarter now were down 5.

How does our team????
Not score a FG in 4.5 minutes to close a quarter….against this team of non defensive players????

Are you a New Warrior fan? lol you ask these questions, and we’ve been playing like this for years.
using a 6 man rotation,

This is pathetic basketball by the warriors. They are sucking on defense, and are just going 1 on 1 on offense. They need to take it to the paint and finish.

tell me why we still playing harrington and maggette?
seriously, I thought Nellie’s all about the best lineup. You telling me that’s the best we have tonight?
They both can’t buy a bucket and you can tell Maggette is not himself, I haven’t seen him take a shot from inside in awhile.
you can thank rowell for that,
we got a young developing team trying to develop and we just extended a coach notorius for not playing or developing youngsters
i love nellie as much as the next guy, but this is ridiculuos, a 7 man rotation and still losing, come on nellie,

Amazing how this team scores eight points in eight minutes, goes down by 11 and Nelson somehow thinks his offense isn’t lacking.
Even if we all can admit Marco, Brandan and Anthony won’t pull out this win, what makes anyone think Corey, Al or Stephen can?
Don Nelson, a real thinking man’s coach over here in Memphis.
Nelson must go
the sooner the better!Why can’t Randolph or Marco or Wright or Williams get a chance while we are torched right now
cant happen,
rowell is going to get rid of mullin, and he has to keep mullin to keep the ‘fans’ happy

Im a being dead serious,
I would trade our roster for Memphis’s roster. Theyare way under the cap with some great pieces, Conley, Gay, Gasol, and Mayo. And some decent bench pieces in Warrick, Lowry, Milicic, and Critteton.
Anybody else agree?

ok
but still, cap room and some intruging young players(gay is great and i bet mayo will be too)
we got biedrins and ironically a coach who hates big men, a solid jack and maggete that nellie is trying to use as superstars, buike and ronny are solid, al is disgruntled, and a bunch of young guys that nellie either loathes or will not play…..
and our franchise player may or may not ever get his speed back which made him the player he was…

fixing coaches is easy,
you can fire ivaroni in middle of a game and not think twice about it
with nellie you have to be more delicate bacause he is a legend and of the worried fan backlash espicially with the mullin/rowell dynamic

lol if we trade rosters
Our starting lineup would be:
PG: Marco Jaric
SG: Mayo
SF: Rudy Gay
PF: Hakim Warrick
C: Darko Milicic
Off the bench will be:
Quinton Ross, Lowry, and some Gasol and Buckner
Oh and forgot...
then you’ll be drooling at Memphis’ lineup….
Starting lineup will probably be the same but then you’ll see Wright and Randolph more often.
CJ
Buike
Randolph/Belinelli (depends on who’s playing better)
Wright

hey!! its 1-4 its too early to get sad
moped will be back
well i feel you for that
but they just got lucky that’s all..
The other thing I hate so much about Nelson is
he does not have a single play for Andris.All we are watching is one on one post up and jumpers.
Pass it to beans.
And maybe we win when our shooters suck.
Something has to change
That was almost unwatchable. I didn’t see any set plays the whole 4th quarter, it was all contested jumpers that missed badly. It’s everyone’s fault. The players should realize that shots aren’t falling and drive to the hoop. Also, Nellie should see that we can’t hit the broad side of a barn, and run plays to get to the rim. I would rather have watched us miss layups than watch that shooting display.
it wasn't "almost" unwatchable
it WAS unwatchable. i had it on dvr and turned it off with about 3 minutes left in the fourth. i don’t even know how i lasted that long
WOW
How did we lose to the Griz. Boy, Monta needs to get his ass back

For those that watched the game
I’ve been wondering if another of our problems is that we don’t have a team identity. Does that sound right?
nah, don't let the comments fool you. typical W's loss.
Memphis packed the paint and dared us to beat them from outside (i think they were called for 3 illegal defenses). we shot 3-20 from 3 pt land. end of story.

Well
We’re supposed to be a high scoring team that plays at a fast tempo right? That side definitely didn’t show up tonight.
However, we died by the 3.
We just don’t have Monta. We need him BAD. He always kills the Grizz. That’s probably why there was such a low attendance, his family didn’t bother to show up.
Well, what happens if marbury was playing instead of nelson
do we suck more??

It is obvious this team isn’t winning a championship. You either play to win now if you are a contender or play to win later if you are rebuilding. We are a rebuilding team that refuses to admit it. The young players looked horrible out there tonight. The only way to get them better is to play them. Not many players in the NBA are constantly game ready if they expect to sit the entire game the entire season.
So anyway, I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, the worst move we made this summer was extending Nellie. I’m sorry. He still has time to turn this season around if he realizes winning now is a lost cause, but I am very worried for the year after this one when he reverts back to his old habits to squeeze our franchise thin in order for him to achieve the wins record.
well if his time with the Mavs is an indicator, look at game 35.
that’s when a not yet ready Dirk began getting consistent burn for about 20 minutes a game.
i’m guessing he can’t wave the white flag in game 4. he’d lose all credibility with his veteran players. doesn’t matter with Al, but Jack and Maggette might be around for 5 more years.

same old W's story. opposing team packed it in and dared the W's to shoot from outside.
(grizz had 3 illegal d’s called – which is high)
and the W’s shot 3-20 from 3. really 2-19 (marco hit a meaningless 3 at the end) they did not shoot much better from 15-20. same reason as why we had trouble against the t-wolves last year.
