OPEN THREAD: Game #25: Warriors vs Magic

Warriors (W-L): 7-17

Magic (W-L): 18-6

Tip-Off: 7:30 PST

TV: CSN, CSNHD

Radio: KNBR

 

 

 

Dwight-howard_medium

Uh oh...

The good news: Dwight Howard might ride the pine.

 

The bad news: We’ll probably still get aced.

 

Let’s be honest. This is going to be pretty. I mean, I’m not trying to be negative here, but we are going up against one of the Eastern Conference elite. Even without the presence of Dwight, they still have a squad that can do some damage.

Let's Jump, shall we?

Star-divide

Okay, I’m not saying we’re not capable of stopping them. It seems, (believe me I am keeping our subpar record in mind here), that each of our last few losses have given us a small reason to continue to believe. One or two players light up and in the end, we’re left with “too little too late” and at least 1 reason to believe that something is developing.

 

We saw it on Saturday against Denver with Kurz. We saw it on Friday against Houston with Randolph. Rewind past our previous two wins and look back the Spurs to see a decent spurt by Wright; perhaps the only positive aspect of that evening. Look back a bit further to our first Houston game and we see Maggette and SJax with good showings.

 

Here’s an idea… what if, like, all of you do that at the same time?!

 

Obviously this is unrealistic. Mainly, if not for other reasons, from an NBA rule perspective. I mean, if 8 players have been allowed on the court this whole time, I seriously call Nellie’s coaching style into question. And every other coach in the league. Except for Phil Jackson. I hear he’s some kind of minimalist.

 

My point is at one period of time or another, virtually our entire roster has shown top caliber potential. We just seem to be missing one key item that ironically separates the good teams from the bad teams.

 

Consistency.

 

It doesn’t matter if Dwight plays tonight. What matters is that we finally get our rhythm together. What matters is that our boys live up to a better caliber of ball as individuals and as a team. That’s really all that matters!

 

Well, okay. Maybe Dwight playing matters a little bit.

Predictions:

 

  • Dwight rides pine. Why risk aggravating his knee over a 7 and 17 team?
  • SJax  - 25+ pts and 5+ dimes.
  • Biedrins – Double Double (this is getting to be more fact than prediction, isn’t it?)
  • Jameer Nelson embarrases us.
  • Warriors by 1.

Flu bug

Steinmetz on exmainer.com The flu bug bit Jack. He’s a game-time decision tonight. BWright and Turiaf are expected to be in tonight.

Whoohoo!

Morrow might get some consistent run and we’ll get to see what Randolph has up his lanky sleeves tonight (hopefully).

Why

flu shot only prevents a few forms of teh virus…typically the more deadly strains

by DeepS on Dec 15, 2008 5:33 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not true

Flu shot: Your best bet for avoiding influenza

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), when the match between flu vaccine and circulating strains of flu virus is close, a flu shot is between 70 and 90 percent effective in warding off illness in healthy people under age 65.
 
In some cases, people who get a flu shot can still get the flu, but they may get a much less severe form of the illness and, most important, they’ll have a decreased risk of flu-related complications — especially pneumonia, heart attack, stroke and death — to which older adults are especially vulnerable.

Let Crawford take his place instead: Marco/Crawford/Buike/Bwright/Beans

Kurz if bwright is out, or perhaps even turiaf.

CJ can backup marco, morrow crawford, etc.

Hashish my friend, I am sure you might have noticed

the last few games we have been without some of our best players. hard to win with a D league lineup. Now I will go on record as saying if we have our players back and DHoward does not play we will blow them out.

Without Dwight Howard, they beat Utah (no Boozer though). Just sayin…

Hard to argue about the potential we have. It’s just frustrating to see our record get flushed while the bugs get worked out.

by Essential on Dec 15, 2008 5:24 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Answer to your question....

I have an idea about how to get all our guys clicking on all cylinders. Get rid of a few of them.
This is obviously not a realistic answer, but…
I am an avid Warriors fan who is stuck here in Walla Walla, Washington going to school, so I’m forced to stream play-by-plays and read boxscores instead of watch games (but I’ll be home friday and get to see the games then! and 10th row seats to dubs-fakers!).

Anyway, my opinion based on reading boxscores, is that we have a trend of Randolph gets 12 and 10, then plays 4 minutes the next night. Belinelli scores 15, gets a DNP next game. We simply have a ton of young talent, and as much as Nellie is a mad scientist, he can’t possibly make 25 minutes of room for our vets, plus Beans, Randolph, Belly, Wright, Watson, Kurz, DMarc (when he’s back), and Morrow. and a healthy Monta. So he (and I’m not blaming him here), plays some guys for a few minutes. If they give him a reason to keep them in, he does. But these guys are young. I really don’t think that Anthony Randolph can prove his worth to Nellie in the first 4 minutes of EVERY GAME. Furthermore, being young and lacking confidence and experience, it’s got to be a shot to these guys to play great one night, and not play the next. They’re too young and inconsistent to only be good when called upon. That’s what veterans like Robert Horry are for.

There’s just no physically possible way to get these guys the minutes they need to each be successful every night.

by bradyk2 on Dec 15, 2008 2:17 PM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Quite right… you can’t develop ten young players at once. Ideally we’d be able to package a couple of these guys plus one of the three warty vets for a defender of some sort. Problem is, most of these guys are either too intriguing to give up on (Wright, Randolph) or close to worthless for trading purposes (Marco, Morrow, Kurz).

The two guys that might make sense to move are CJ and ‘Buike. Don’t get me wrong — I really like both, especially at their prices, and I wouldn’t want to see us lose either. But they’re playing well enough so that other teams would at least be aware of their existences, and neither gives us anything we couldn’t get from someone else (Watson will look kinda redundant with Monta’s return). They’d make for good sweeteners in any sort of deal.

Sadly, though, I’m guessing they don’t fix the roster anytime soon, as Nellie seems to enjoy shuffling the deck every night. It’s the exact kind of thing that started killing us in ‘94-’95: the team’s refusal to identify and focus on their best players.

by onlxn on Dec 15, 2008 2:39 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Exactly

I almost wish we could package Buike, Watson and Kurz to get Pietrus back. Sounds odd, but it seems like Mickael has learned consistency, and having a role. We are in dire-need of a lock down defender, and a 3-point shooter, and Mickael seems to have stopped the stupid mistakes, and accepted his role in Orlando. He would be great on this roster doing just that.

But I agree, I would hate to see anyone go, but it does feel like we should send 2 or 3 youngster and maybe Maggs somewhere for either a 3-point shooter/defender, or an actual center/defender to back up Beans.

We just can’t develop all of our young guys (by young guys I’m obviously not including Goose and Monta), it’s not possible. furthermore, I love having all the youngins on our team, but I like each enough that I feel he deserves his chance to get consistent minutes, and they obviously can’t all do that, so I’d like to see some go for them personally as well.

I feel like the crucial ones to keep are Randolph and Wright (at least one of them), and Bellinelli. Randolph and Wright because their potential feels sky-high, and we need big men, especially athletic ones (and shot blockers), because they fit our system. Belly because we need 3 point shooters, and he’s really proven to be a facilitator/play-maker, which Nellie would love to work with. I would love to see us trading ball-handling duties between Belly, Monta, Crawford and SJax.

Azubuike and Morrow are great, I love them (I’d be so sad to see Buike go), but they are what we already have an excess of. Decent shooting, athletic scoring guards. We’ve got 5 of them already, not counting those two. 8 in all if you count Watson. Speaking of which, I love Watson, he has been one of our best players, and is so tough and has so much heart. But I really feel like there’s no room on this team for a PG, unless he’s up to BDiddy’s standards. This team, especially with Monta, Jax, Belly, and Crawfish, does not need a ball-facilitator, unless they are a superb creator like Baron was. otherwise, I’d rather see a Monta/Crawford/Jackson/Randolph/Biedrins (that’s throwing Maggs out of the equation) lineup, than a Watson/Ellis/Crawford/Jackson/Biedrins lineup.

Speaking of Monta, he only has 2 games left on his suspension. Any word on when he’ll actually be back?

by bradyk2 on Dec 15, 2008 3:17 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

The Pietrus idea is interesting. I don’t know that I’d actually want him back, but the thought of packaging three guys like that for a defensive-minded rotation guy is a good one.

I think Watson’s fine on offense, actually — he distributes some, shoots some, generally seems to fit the flow. The main reason I don’t think Watson’s a great fit for the roster is defense. With Monta at the point, and Crawford possibly playing some minutes there, you’d ideally have a backup who plays killer defense. Bringing in another good scorer who gambles and gets lost on defense seems like overkill.

Really, the only young guys we absolutely have to keep are Wright and Randolph. Marco and Watson and Morrow all have their pluses, but I can’t see a real breakout for any of them. Azubuike’s good, but he seems to have hit a fairly solid ceiling, so I don’t think moving him for value would haunt us. Only Wright and Randolph have the potential to haunt us. I hope they both keep getting enough minutes so that Nellie never forgets about them again. Randolph’s not a good player yet (and might never be), but better that he’s out there showing off his stuff than rotting on the bench and getting traded for no reason.

by onlxn on Dec 15, 2008 4:26 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah

I’m not sure MP2 would work, but that idea. We have a versatile enough roster to accommodate any position, since everyone can play 3 positions on our team. Having a perimeter defender who can make 3s would be great.

I agree with everything you said about Watson, the only thing I worry about is our identity. The reality is, when monta’s healthy, Nellie is going to want Monta handling the ball sometimes, SJax handling it sometimes, Crawfish handling it sometimes, and Belly handling it sometimes. I’m afraid we just don’t have a chance of being consistent if we always have a different point.

And I’m not willing to get rid of Bellinelli until he shows that this hotstreak is just a fad. Right now he’s looking like the Mike Dunleavy that Nellie dreamt Dunpoopy would become.

by bradyk2 on Dec 15, 2008 10:00 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

why?!?!?

we don’t need a SF. bottom line, lets quit with this redundancy…its played out already! we need nothin more than to get rid of a few vets…namely corey “brainless” maggetti. its not that he’s a cancer, its that he has less talent than he thinks…much like a certain player recently extended. only upside to stephen jackson is his attitude, heart, and for some reason this season his passing mentality at times. anyone else notice he lost his confidence in the three?

Little Ex Warrior action

MP2 is gonna go off for 24 pts, hitting 4 3’s from that corner spot, only stepping out of bounds twice

Folye will dunk on Biedrins in his 2 minutes of play

Without Jax, the team steps up. Marco goes for 24, Kurz gets 18 and 10, Biedrins 12 and 14, etc etc.

The pop ups on this site are starting to piss me off.

i love the dubs

i don’t care that we are 7-17…I’m officially in the tank hoping we lose and get a top 5 pick. I want to see all the youngins get 30 + minutes tonight and play hard and hopefully we lose by a point or two but Randolph goes off for 30 and 10, Marco for 25 8 assists and 5 boards, and Morrow for 42 points. I want Turiaf to get 9 blocks.

I love the Dubs!! Go Magic!!

by JimBarnett2KevinGarnett on Dec 15, 2008 5:13 PM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

to be honest...

we really need a top 2 pick…Griffen or Rubio obv would be perfect for the dubs. We need Griffen more but Rubio would set us up at PG for the next decade and we could start trading the excess wings for a PF knowing we got the 1 and 5 taken care of for the next decade with a whole bunch of 2’s and 3’s.

the 3,4,5 picks start getting murky…it’s a weak draft and we desperately need a 4 that can board and defend the thick boozers of the NBA. I don’t really see one in this draft. The only big guys worthy of a top 5 pick in this draft other than Griffen are B.J Mullens and Hasheem Thabeet and I’m not sold on either, but I must admit, I havn’t seen them play much.

If we are going to take a Pg/Sg I’d honestly rather take Stephen Curry than Jrue but could you imagine Monta and Stephen in the same back court? It would be like having two Monta’s except one can shoot the 3. It would be really fun to watch but would continue the current theme of redundant talent.

by JimBarnett2KevinGarnett on Dec 15, 2008 5:28 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

if we gonna tank the season, we need rubio. bottom line is we already have a power forward that I trust in b wright…yeah, hes thin, he gets pushed around, and he makes dumb mistakes, but i can really see him doin some great stuff with the warriors if he gets the minutes. as far as a passing presence, im glad the dubz are tryin to move the ball…but the passers we got just arent that talented, best passer we got is craw, who has stated that he wants to be more of a pure point guard, but i just dont see it happening, especially when we are losing a lot

rubio got the talent…and from what i hear he droppin in the draft cause of an injury (sounds a lot like monta, not second round in this draft, but same type of situation)…

i hate losing…hope we can find some chemistry that nelson feels is worth sticking with soon

when he come back, the dubz will be stronger, i hope he doesnt take too long to adjust…i dont think we can trade magz yet, jus stick him on the bench as a 6th man, will be really good for the team which i know he cares about!

This is an ugly, ugly game and the coaching is entirely to blame.
A lack of any sensible rotation is absolutely horrific and insulting to the players with talent that get left behind in this absurd rotation.
A lineup of four guards that have nearly identical games should draw attention to coaching.
Leaving Jackson on the floor at 1/10 shooting should indicate some flaw in coaching strategy.

At this point I hope Brandan Wright gets traded for another swingman so he can play on another team that will appreciate him.

I was watching it in HD out in the living room, now I'm back in my room.

Anyway, why is Jackson still playing? I mean 1 of 10? wasn’t he like that for the last 3 games?

Thank god Dwight Howard is out, this game would’ve been over from the beginning.

Anyway, let Jack rest till his “injury” heals. Trade Maggs for a pick or expiring contract (but do not resign for like 6 years 60 Mil lol)

Play BWright. Play AR.
This is the line up I want to see.
Ellis/CJ
Crawford/Marco
Randolph/Morrow
Wright/Bukie
Beans/Kurz

NELSON SUCKS

first of all why is the leash on jackson so goddamn long?! take him out when hes not doing good, or atleast tell him to not shoot and distribute.

SECOND:
why do we have 4 guards on the court while the magic have hedo whos 6-10, rashard whos 6-10, and gortat whos 7-0. we will never be able to develop an inside game for as long as those guys are on the court and we are most definitely not “out shooting” them or “out quicking” them, not to mention our sucky defense. what nellie needs to learn is when his “small ball” game isnt working, you cant be so stubborn and stick with the game plan….put wright, randolph, kurz, turiaf, biedrins or whoever in to switch things up for godssake!!!!
