PrintGolden State Warriors at Atlanta Hawks, Dec 19, 2008 4:30 PM PST
At least were not THAT guy
Warriors (W-L): 7-19
Pacers (W-L): 15-10
Tip-Off: 4:30 PST
TV: CSN
Radio: KNBR 1050
Alright fellas, second game of this road trip and let's try to look at the Brightside tonight. If my boy FJ has the strength to look at the positives from our loss to Pacers, then I too will find it in me to stay content with the Warriors of the 2k8-2k9 season.
Let's take a gander at the positives for tonight, shall we?
1. The Hawks are a young team. We should be able to beat a young team.
2. The Hawks are coming off their worst shooting performance of the season. Doesn't mean they still can't go down.
3. We've lost 4 in a row. That's 5 less than our longest losing streak of the season so far.
4. The Hawks are coming off a 88-85 loss to the Boston Celtics. As my good friend put it, "they're still shell-shocked."
5. The Warriors are 25th in field goal defense. NOT LAST.
6. After the loss on Wednesday, the Warriors have given up over 120 points for the 6th time in 10 games. NOT SEVEN.
7. The Warriors rank 2nd in the league in scoring. That means that we can score a whole bunch. Nevermind that the Hawks have kept their last 12 opponents under 100 points, that's really not an important point.
8. The Hawks have won 4 out of the last 5 against the Warriors. NOT ALL 5.
9. I'm sure Anthony Randolph and Brandan Wright aren't upset over the trade rumors. Especially AR after being called out by Nellie today.
10. Ain't no feuding going on in the front office. Everything's just peachy. Our players and coaches are down to give 100% every game from now on.
I don't know bout all y'all but looks like we got this one bagged up.
Jump for the Predictions!
Always a Warrior.
R Dizzle's Predictions:
- Warriors by 1.
- Beans = double double
- Our great defense on Joe Johnson keeps him under 10 points.
- We only give up 35 points in the first quarter.
- Brandan Wright gets 6 minutes of play. (This one might actually happen.)
- Instead of watching the 3rd quarter, I spend my time trying to think of something creative to write for the recap.

Hawks score 70 by half time,

Good One
My pick is Zaza Pachulia to have a monster game. If a guy named “Borat (Gortat)” looked like the second coming of D. Howard, then it’s only appropriate a guy named “Zaza” will post up numbers that will have people talking like he’s the next Kevin Mchale!
22 pts. 16brds 5blks 2 treys
Ship it!
by Being Mr. Jennings on Dec 19, 2008 12:18 PM PST up reply actions
hmmm
actually Zaza is good center -i’d say better then Turiaf (for example) he doesn’t do anything excessive just doing his job (box out rebounding post up elbow shot) and he is good @ it
but Biedrins is better 4 sure -though if AB is only W’s big on the floor then Zaza will became pretty zazzy

My guess is B Wright. I think the frustration of not getting PT and all the swirling trade rumors will finally boil over. I can see him bitch slapping Nellie the next time he gets yanked from a game.

Nellie is a typical genius
At his best, he can get water from a stone and make magic happen. At his worst, he’s a pig headed eccentric that is destroying the franchise. Two sides of the same coin. Unfortunately, we’ve got the bad side at the moment.
I wonder what it was that started the feud? Nellie is so big on performance and on not making the wrong “mistakes.” If the Garnett rumors about Mullin’s blown cell phone call were true, maybe Nellie got so furious with that mistake that he can’t forgive Mullin, kind of like when he wrote off Barnes after he almost blew the win in the Suns (?) game last year (when he drove the lane and threw up an air ball instead of handing the ball to Baron to run out the clock).
woohoo
this will be some great and memorable game
W’s +57
Their stupidity is actually entertaining
by Skeptic con Urquell
Surprise Surprise
But I like a big lineup tonight:
Crawford
Azubuike
Jackson
Biedrins
Turiaf
Ronny should guard Al Horford on the inside, and Andris can play Marvin Williams. W’s can take advantage of that match-up. I’m not sure who can effectively guard Josh Smith, but both Wright and Randolph deserve a chance at some point in the game. And I like a combination of Jax and Kelenna on Joe Johnson. Hey, at least neither PG plays D.
i agree they go big
but the lineup gona look like this i think
Crawford
Belinelli
Jackson
Turiaf
Biedrens

i hope we lose
so nelson will get fired.
When Maggette missed those consecutive shots in a span of a humming bird’s flap,
Crawford simply looked at the bench and said, "Are you serious?"
We will, this is going to be a crushing defeat
the way this team played against the Celtics the other night we’re DOOMED…. Go LOTTERY!
It's all about the killer cross-over baby!
Is Mike Bibby jewish?
he totally looks like it with that ’fro
R DIZZLE MAN...
You really made me happy tonight with the Mookie Blaylock picture!! Thanks for that! I never thought I would see anything related to Mookie after all this years here.

might as well put that line up in to entertain us

I have nothing particularly against Rob Kurz but I hope Wright and Randoplh get traded – for anything. I just think Nellie’s relegation of them under Kurz is insulting and demeaning. Their talents could go to much better use on any NBA team; they deserve at least that. If Nellie won’t play them then let them play on a team that will at least give them a chance.
Isn't that why
Belinelli didn’t play last year?

I´m not watching the game but the Yahoo Game Channel
is only updating: Running layup by Hawks, driving dunk by Hawks… no interior defense… geez! Is that correct?

On yahoo they have the Hawks with only 1 made fg from a jumper
all other points were dunks or layups

i just
started watching. is jackson not playing?
all he does is produce when in
that should mean something, wright?
what happenened to passing
bring in MB and AR
we need to change the lineup!
as much as i love crawford, he needs to get a break right now
lets do:
bellineli
morrow
wright
beans
turiaf/randolph
That´s enough
WE WILL LOSE ALMOST EVERY GAME… but please… START WRIGHT and let him play 35 MPG… please… no one is better at the 4 than him on this roster right now! PLEASE!
F**K REFS
asdf
Crawford sucks, Kurz tries but he’s not good and Buike is CMaggs in the making, please put in Randolph
I am getting so mad with nellie
HE NEEDS to play Anthony Randolph he is a straight beast
Wow, BWright missed them both
he usually has a good ft stroke
asdf
WHY can’t Crawford be a passer first and scorer second, he could be so much better.

On that replay
that was a NICE pass from Marco to Turiaf after the resteal
this fast game is favoring warriors
but based on looks of atlanta coach, i don’t think they will let it go like that in the 3rd.
Wright and Turiaf
they come into the game, we start winning, the Blazers stop scoring. coincidence? I think not. Go defense

Be yourself, because everybody else has been taken.
then we can get rid of maggs
and keep buike for cheaper
If I could start with this team from the scrap I would keep Monta, Andris,Wright,Marco,Morrow,Turiaf, Randolph
and maybe Azubuike(before he found his soul mate Maggs) play them for two years under some serious coach and add them a couple draft picks and solid vets(role players) along the way.
But for this to happen we MUST collect some money and buy a couple of mopeds to Jack,Maggs and Crawford so we can avoid those contracts when they broke the legs badly :-)
I'll take Nash & Manu before him

as long as we either don't have to hear his voice
or the warriors give him a vocal chord transplant to sound less whiny
Avery has really proven nothing
then taken a team that was already good and add a little D
Flip has taken a bunch of unwanted toys right out of a Christmas special and turned them into a winning team with out a super star.
Are you talking about the Flip
That had KG, Spree & Cassell in Minnesota
or
The Flip that Had Billups, Hamilton, Wallace x 2 & Prince?

the minnesota gig was a while back
and he turned really good players in bullips, hamilton, a head case wallace, an undersized wallace (what has he done lately) and prince in to a champion caliber team.
yeah I’ll take him over Avery
I'm Confused
because it sounds like you combined both of them but it doesn’t matter anyways.
The Pistons had a well established team that had Rick Carlisle and Larry Brown coaching before so they were still the same team.
With that said, neither Coach has really proven anything correct? Except that Avery focuses on D a little more which is exactly what we need right?
Be yourself, because everybody else has been taken.
by The Dedication on Dec 19, 2008 7:09 PM PST up reply actions
no I'm just saying
I don’t recall much of the Minn days and the Pistons became good after he took over. And I do remember that the Pistons also played pretty good D
Turned them...
…into a championship caliber team instead of… a championship team? They won two years before his inaugural season, and made the finals the next.
with the same line up?
humm, me thinks I will have to rethink this, my history may be a little muddled.
I still like Flip over Avery though and that’s just from what Ive seen of them both in resent years
Oh Ok
So you just like Flip more than Avery even though they (Detroit) downgraded and Avery took Dallas where Nellie couldn’t….. Hmmmm….. Thats cool though, we all have our preference.

It was a

What situations are there?
a) Play really well, then bomb in the fourth quarter
b) Play really well, then bomb in the third quarter
a) Not play well at all
tomorrow should be
a must win situation. the schedule doesn’t get much easier after tomorrow.

I am starting to like maggs more than him – his inconsistent shooting is annoying.
But hey, we are an injured young team. If only we had a coach with an rebuilding mindset.
Flip Saunders!
I will always be your fan JRich. Good Luck
NO
maggs is way worse for our team than crawford
crawfords still adjusting to our team, and he wont really shine until ellis is back…
ull see why crawford is amazing soon enough
maggs is just a black hole on offense and a terrible defender…his offensive style is so bad for our team, the way we play…hes a halfcourt player that never passes
