i think i broke my hand

if you watched this last game you have to be upset as a warriors fan. they play well the whole game (almost), jackson finally starts playing the way we all want him to. crawford finally finds his stroke. maggette only has 1 airball in the entire game (impressive right), but then as we get nearer and nearer the end of the game the warriors get colder and colder, and hand present after present over to the heat. in this 7 game losing streak im really not sure if the warriors are trying to let the other teams win. tonight was the most frustrating and pathetic. here's ultimately what went wrong in this game.

rebounding: 

the warriors had 36 rebounds in the game

beasley, marion, and haslem nearly equaled this.

the warriors have to start boxing out, its simple. numerous times i have seen crawford or whomever run down the court after a miss only to see the guy he was defending get the rebound. biedrins can't do it all by himself. this is where i like randolph on the court, hes aggressive and goes straight for the rebound, nelly dropped the ball on this one, if randolph was on the court at the end of this game i can almost guarantee a different result.  i dont know how many second chance points the heat scored, but i dont want to look at it, its an embarrasing number.

corey maggette:

maggette needs to stop shooting threes, its simple, hes super efficient everywhere but the three point line, cut the three pointers and his fg% and efficiency increases

inbound plays:

the play at the end of the game where biedrins threw the ball away was his fault, i think he went braindead for a couple of seconds. but nelly should have called the timeout to draw something up.  ive seen this happen 3 times in the season now and this is not something that should happen past hs basketball. just threw the ball and the game away because of a mental error.

overall the warriors showed promise in this game, they started to gel offensively, it wasn't all iso's. they were sharing the ball and it made the game a whole lot better to watch, defensively we played alright, didn't allow 50 free points like in previous games, but the warriors proved tonight that they are possibly the worst closing team in nba history.  it has happened too many times all because of mental errors, inexusable.

if they want to make any sort of run at the playoffs, though it looks improbably now you never know when monta comes back, they're going to have to learn how to finish games especially against mediocre teams like the heat.
