PrintGolden State Warriors at Orlando Magic, Dec 22, 2008 4:00 PM PST
Warriors: 8-20
Magic: 21-6
Tip-Off: 4:00 PM PST
TV: CSN
Radio: KNBR 1050
Wow a Warriors win! They're quite rare right now, so savor that one as long as you can. It just inches us closer to double digit wins before the new year. 2 more wins in the next 6 games should do it. Tonight, our fearless warriors head into Orlando, the home of Disney World and one of the strongest teams in the East, the Orlando Magic.
The last time I saw a Warriors-Magic game was exactly one week ago in Oakland. To be honest, I was disgusted and Hash wasn't particularly surprised at the outcome. So how much worse could it get? Well, Superman is back from his injury and they're back at home. But hey, we won't have to face that Martin Gortat fellow for 25+ minutes like last time.
Be sure to check out Ben Q Rock of SB Nation's Orlando Magic blog, 3rd Quarter Collapse for his update on Mickael "Air France" Pietrus, Adonal "Aluminum" Foyle, and Otis "Spunkmeyer" Smith.
Predictions
- Warriors by 1
- Crawford follows up his 50 point game with hopefully another 50 but more likely to be 12 (4-18 shooting)
- Marco keeps up his improved play with 18 points
- Nellie didn't think the Warriors should play big against the Magic the last game which leads me to believe that Brandan Wright's minutes + Anthony Randolph's minutes will be less than 10 (possibly less than 1).
- Dwight Howard. 20-20 points-rebounds (and eyesight).
Shameless plug: GSOM Night 6 tickets have gone on sale. Be sure to snap up these tickets for the first game that Baron returns to Oakland. Plus you'll get a free T-shirt designed by Tony.psd himself.

I hope to see some defense tonight and 2 big men on the floor
I will always be your fan JRich. Good Luck
woohoo
Lets shock the world by getting a win tonight!!! Go Warriors!

Yes!
Superman is back, so we dont have to get demolished by Gortat again!
Lets hope we dont get humilated tonight.
that should be the warriors new mantra
Predictions
Beidrins gets a double double animal style
Crawford goes 5 of 21
Marco continues to play well
CJ Watson screws up atleast 1 fast break
Randolph 2 mins or less
Wright 11 mins or less
Warriors loose by 14
What is the status of our petitions to fire Robert Rowell and have Chris Cohan commit Hari Kiri, or at least sell the team?

Mickey goes to a psychotherapist
Looking all depressed.
“What’s the matter?” says the Doc.
“It’s not me, it’s Minnie…” Mickey says, dolefully, and proceeds to explain the problem.
A couple days later, Doc calls him back and says, “Mickey, I’ve given Minnie a thorough psychiatric evaluation … and I’ve found nothing to support your claim that she’s clinically insane.”
Mickey says, “I didn’t say she was insane — I said she was f*cking goofy!”
OBAMA AMABO
Minnie
likes it Doggy Style?

I just want Crawford to become consistent
It’s no use throwing the Bobcats a knockout punch worth 50 pts the other day if he’s then going to end up throwing a weak jab worth 6 pts today.
If he can't hit those jumpers early
He needs to become a passer and drive to the rim. That game when he went 3-16 or something, all 3 field goals were lay-ups. He bricked every jump shot, and never went to the line. Horrible.
We killed the Magic the last time Howard played last season under Nelson’s beautiful strategy of having Biedrins keep Howard at bay and having the others get the rebounds. I am curious to see what Van Gundy will do to counter if we do it again. And I see no reason not to unless we want Howard to go 20+ on the boards.
don't forget Baron's Jinx @ that game
Dwight Howard reached out and touched Golden State Warriors point guard Baron Davis’ hand before stepping to the free-throw line after having made eight in a row. He missed the shot.
“Baron said if he touched my hand I’d miss my free throws,” Howard said. “Me, being silly, I touched his hand. He jinxed me. It worked.”
Their stupidity is actually entertaining

so -let's hope
that 3rd quarter collapse is true

LOL
WHO SAW THE PIETRUS NO TOBACCO COMMERCIAL HAHAHHAHAHA
Everything rhymes with Belinelli.....Right?
that was cool. and he's tobacco free
be the change you wish to see in the world.
Where was the foul?
we are bumped when we go to the basket every time and no foul but if we even look at them they whistle?F..k that SBA
Quit telling me I’m hating. His shot isn’t ready, so he is reverting back to this ugly set shot form. He needs to work on it in practice and shoot it when he’s ready. Which is clearly not now. He was not thinking about his shot in summer league, he clearly is now.
Don’t equate constructive criticism with hating, because they are two very different things.
what a fugly 1st half.
hope we can get it together soon
this sucks
I’m still at work, and will probably get off when the game is over.
Do we at least have 2 big men on the field at all times?
I will always be your fan JRich. Good Luck
look at how crawford plays defense. he has no clue what he’s doing out there! look at the positioning of his hands. his palms are up like he’s telling the o-player to stop!
these
refs are painfully bad
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?"
Where is the point in competing when you know you don't have equal starting position as your opponent?
It’s like they would give Michael Phelps 10 feet advantage just because he’s the best?!?
whoa
the way I read it, I guess I should just stay at work and not watch the game
I will always be your fan JRich. Good Luck
Well, they haven't given up
still hanging around at down 12
by IQofaWarrior on Dec 22, 2008 5:09 PM PST up reply actions
being down 8 feels like
winning a championship.
DAMN
i never thought that looking on Howard can be foul
Their stupidity is actually entertaining
by Skeptic con Urquell
well I just started watching when we went down by 17
so I am feeling good about being down by 8… but what was with the small ball switch for the final shot… it almost killed us on the other end with the o boards
We got clowned on those calls.
Turiaf/Beans might foul out in 2nd half
I'm already drunk....
What a boring half…I can’t believe we’re only down by eight with such a poor offensive half. Thank god the defense looks aggressive.

is it just me?
or does the magic look like our old “we believe”?
just demoralizing to be on the receiving end of this
kind of 3 point shooting outburst. But man it was fun when it was the Warriors doing it.
kurz...
he has no dribble left… why do you then climb on his back…
He wants a piggy back ride
how obvious does it have to be?
i hope nelson calls it a day and leaves the young guys for the rest of the game,
rest the others for 2maro
woot
I love how Nelson’s “emergency back-up plan” is always to go small… trotting out a lineup of Watson, Crawford, Morrow, Randolph and Kurz is a bad bad idea…
who else
do you want who’s on the floor taking a shot like that?

Fortunately, there's another game tomorrow
so the pain won’t last that long
on the bright side
just remember after every loss, its just one step closer to getting a higher draft pick…
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?"
Without 3 of our starters
We managed to compete for 2 qtrs. Man, their 3 pt shooting killed us. But hey, they are one of the best teams.
Question is can we beat miami, where we have more of a chance.
Miami
If we play the way we played tonight in the first half(but make some of the open shots) against a Miami team that guaranteed won’t shoot as hot as the Magic did, I think we have an alright shot to win. I can’t help but think Monta would provide some really needed stability and penetration to this young team that has shown some good growth, b/c at the time it is clear we just don’t have enought talent out there without Monta, Maggette, or Jackson to get us consistent points. I hope Maggs and Jax can learn to move the ball around like we have once they are back, I still think Maggs can be succesful here if he adjusts his game a little to play to his strengths and keep the ball movin. Though I wouldn’t mind trading both either
The positive
Always looking for the bright side. We do get to see a lot of good basketball cause we seem to always bring out the best in the other teams :>)
Hope everyone stays well and has a loving holiday, these games don’t really matter in the overall scheme of things.
