Around SBN: Nevin Shapiro Vows To Bring Down Miami

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

If you told me 2 weeks ago that we'd be sitting here at 1-2 without Ellis and Baron Davis, I would have said "Sounds about right". But after watching all three games I've come to appreciate the fact that we don't look that bad. In fact, with the last win against the Nets, I'm starting to believe we might have a shot at this folks. Then again, I've already started to drink as I write this preview and it's not even noon.

Bottom line, we lost our first two games by a small margin to some pretty good teams. We kept both games close and it seemed as though our young team couldn't put them away. But last Saturday we came back and beat the Nets on the road thanks to the dynamic trio of Jackson, Biedrins, and Maggette. All of them scored over 20 points and I'm hoping this could be a start of something big. Something better than the all time great comedy of the Three Amigos!

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.

 YaoButta’s Prediction:

  • 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.

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

can

anybody make an outside shot?

by Larry_Smith on Nov 3, 2008 5:50 PM PST reply actions  

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.

by PokerWarrior on Nov 3, 2008 5:50 PM PST reply actions  

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?

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.

If we can’t blow this team out on our home court (shooting at least 45%), then we’ll never compete against bad teams.

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?

Gay, maybe is a great piece but the others arent, Conley? Cmon now….

gasol

Only looks legit against the Warriors. Against everyone else, he’s a aaiiiighhht center.

by disguy on Nov 3, 2008 7:26 PM PST up reply actions  

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…

But remember

You’re going to have to switch up the coaches too. Those rookies would be struggling for minutes.

by disguy on Nov 3, 2008 7:32 PM PST up reply actions  

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

by warriorsscore110 on Nov 3, 2008 7:34 PM PST up reply actions  

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

by lightz0ut on Nov 3, 2008 7:36 PM PST up reply actions  

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
Turiaf

he does not have a single play for Andris.All we are watching is one on one post up and jumpers.

by Andrew7744 on Nov 3, 2008 7:27 PM PST up reply actions  

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.

by bayareaballa on Nov 3, 2008 7:33 PM PST reply actions  

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

it unfair,

i got so used to lottery ball, a few highlights and watching other teams in the playoffs. then we make the playoffs, i drop out of college for the semester to get playoff tickets and i start thinking that we can actually be a legit nba franchise, and now we are back where we where when brian winter was our coach

i cant take it, im going to grab a some more beers watch some monday night football, and try my best to forget about this franchise for the night atleast

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?

by IQofaWarrior on Nov 3, 2008 7:38 PM PST reply actions  

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.

by the evil monkey on Nov 3, 2008 7:41 PM PST up reply actions  

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.

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.

and i guess

Turiaf, Biedrins, Kaz, are considered vets too. oh and let’s not forget Moped. though shutting it down for the year might be a good thing for his overall health.

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.
