OPEN THREAD: Warriors at Heat

Tiny by Hash on in Previews Comment 486 comments

Abby_medium

 Dear Abby,

I'm not really sure if I have a gripe here, but you've always been so trustworthy in the past. I feel as though it would be insulting NOT to seek your advice on this one so, rather than ask my friends, family, or anyone that I even vaguely know, I thought I'd write anonymously to my local newspaper for the answers that I seek to life's dilemmas.

My favorite basketball team sucks.

Crying_medium

Warriors (W-L): 8-21

Heat (W-L): 14-12

TV: CSN

Radio: KNBR

Tip-Off: 4:30 PST

I'll give you a second to recover from that. This is no doubt one of the tougher issues that has been thrown your way.

It's just that the team appears to be in shambles right now and I'm not sure what to do. Our star left us for another team. Our reserve star got injured (get this) riding a freakin' moped. And, truth be told, I'm not sure that having him back will even turn around our current situation!

Meanwhile, we're left with a roster of raw, young players who can't seem to string a respectable 48 minutes together. Seriously, you should have seen us against Orlando the other night. Nauseating.

My question is, is it time for me to give up? I've stuck with this team for years and, short of a miracle playoff run two years ago, all I've been rewarded with is 50 cent hikes each year in the prices of beer at the Arena.

Is all hope lost?

Signed,

Hurting on Hegenberger

JUMP!

Star-divide

Dear Hurting,

You were right to come to me with this. Truly no one can give you better advice on this matter than a random, possibly imaginary figure published in newspapers across the country.

My advice to you isn't going to solve your woes with your current team, but hopefully will give you a new perspective on the situation that will at the very least make tonight's game against Miami bearable.

If you aren't around during the bad times, you don't deserve to be around during the good times.

The truth is, no one knows where your team is going to be when Monta comes back and beyond that, no one knows where your team is going to be in coming years. Sure they can slide further downhill, but it that really going to be any worse than it is right now? But if there is a chance that some of this "young talent" starts to mature, you may look back on this season with relish. The year that your team learned to play together to pave the way for successful seasons to come. If that's all you have to hang on to, then cling to it! They need you more than ever now.

Your team needs to take this one game at a time. I can't think of a better statement than putting up a good showing against the Heat in their own house. Especially when Miami is home to the number 1 scorer in the league, number 10 in assists and number 4 in steals.

And yes. All three of those rankings belong to the same person.

Take it one game at a time, Hurting. One game at a time. And keeping some Pepto nearby doesn't hurt either.

Predictions:

  • Miami is 5-9 when Wade scores less than 30 points. Wade scores 29.5 tonight.
  • We allow less than 111 points tonight.
  • Morrow goes for 15+
  • Randolph gets 15 plus minutes.
  • Warriors by 1.

further predictions:

wright starts but get’s yanked five minutes into the game… is seen selling popcorn later in one of those paper hats.
kurz plays 42 minutes commits 5 fouls and scores 1 point. nellie says in post game interview—“he played real well”
crawford scores 50 after going 15 for 65 from the field 4 of 23 from the arc and 13 of 13 from the stripe after the game crawford says, “i need to shoot more.”
maggs drinks pina coladas from his LA crib, gets drunk and falls down the stairs.

Great read Hash

For one day atleast (until next September), I can just forget about the Warriors and concentrate on my school BOISE STATE try to go undefeated(screw the BCS) tonight at the Poinsetta Bowl.

But predictions for the game I will probably watch in a drunken stupor at 1 in the morning off my DVR,

Heat by 11
Randolph plays well again
Marco doesnt
Wade is unstoppable
Marcus Williams plays the last 4 minutes and trims the Heat lead from 19 to 11 and Nelson still has nothing positive to say about him

What is the status of our petitions to fire Robert Rowell and have Chris Cohan commit Hari Kiri, or at least sell the team?

by warriorsscore110 on Dec 23, 2008 1:47 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Haha

Classic read as always.

However, am I the only one who wasn’t disgusted last night? Admittedly I left before the 4th quarter, and the 3rd generally sucked, but I thought we played decently for quite a while, we just missed every single shot. But I noticed the defensive coaching play today. The Magic only were leading at halftime (and only pulled away in the 3rd) because they were making over 50% of their 3s. Yes, we left some wide open, but even then, Jameer freaking Nelson isn’t usually going to go 4-4 from downtown. I thought we did some really good things.

I’m looking forward to today.

I was also

Watching highlights of our playoff season on youtube(BBJ’s) that made me cry and wish times were still like that. What is we were like the 4 or 5 teams who have like 20+ wins and only 3 losses. I could only hope

C'mon

Stop being so pessimistic -— we’re 8-0 when we score more points than the opponent!

by heavyccasey on Dec 23, 2008 2:37 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

You were faster than me on this one hahaha

I was gonna post this now…

Starting Lineup should be:

PG: CJ Watson
SG: Marco Belinelli
SF: Kelenna Azubuike
PF: Brandan Wright
C: Andris Biedrins

With this lineup, I think we can win 10 – 20 games in a complete season in the NBA, and be D League Champs!

Randolph has the moves, but his jumper hasn’t been there all season. There’s no way he usually shoots with a set shot. It’s ruining his form. He should just work on out and unveil it when it’s ready.

Tips on watching the defense

How can I tell if the Warriors defense has improved under Smart and Moncrief? What should I look for?

by IQofaWarrior on Dec 23, 2008 5:16 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

look for better switches on the pick and roll...

and also taking charges… rebounds… and mainly their closeouts.

Last game they had a lot of dumb double teams which left some wide open threee for Orlando… I didn’t really like seeing that

by shooter1525 on Dec 23, 2008 5:18 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

who was it that was talking about if our defense improved....

well take a look at the second quarter for yuor answer.

This is the problem with the defense we run… We are in a strong help defense or a strong zone defense.. both are subceptable to skip passes and that is how you have a scrub named cook going off

Need a creator out there, and since we only have one on the entire team, we need to play him.

Or we could have two but Williams never plays so I don’t know if he’s capable. Still though, Belinelli should come in before this gets too ugly. No one else knows how to move the ball without his lead.

Seriously though people, what did you expect? This is what we will get if we play our young guys. The point of playing them isn’t really to win, it’s more to develop them to win later. Calm down. No one out there is a proven scorer, and if Belinelli is having a bad night, we don’t really have anyone who can create their own shot. This is what we will get.

have you noticed a pattern here?

nelson takes out players that have just scored the ball. wright scores, he gets taken out. randolph scores, he gets taken out. belinelli scores, and he gets taken out. way to get your players into a rhythm nellie.

are you kidding me? he has a handful of players he could play right now that arent d-leaguers or undrafted. belinelli, wright, randolph, williams, turiaf, etc. and instead he plays 4 players in the 4th quarter that were undrafted: morrow, buike, cj, and demarcus nelson. completelly irrational and stupid on his part.

our three point game...

Randolph and Wright

Should have been out there in the 4th, they both played well in spurts tonight. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but we really could have used Maggette’s selfish but effective ways tonight. We are playing defense, moving the ball, and hustling, the only problem is nobody can buy a bucket or take it to the hole the past two games. Maggette would have kept us right in the game (as long as he doesn’t shoot three’s) and maybe got us the win. The problem right now is the Warriors are going to have 4 guys coming back who all can help the team if they play with the right guys, but playing all 4 together is a disaster. Between Maggette, Crawford, Jackson, and Ellis, who is willing to come off the bench? Maggette would be the most logical, as he is a great scorer but can kill others games with his selfishnes. Will he do it though, especially with Maggette Bobbleheads, his huge contract, and his face all over the Warriors media? Probably not, seems like the Warriors have themselves in quite a mess…though I know Im not saying anything new. Just frustrated at the development I am seeing in some youngsters and knowing it will be stifled with the return of our injured 20 point guards.

I haven’t seen the entire game yet, but I notice when Andris doesn’t do well, (no double double) the whole team also matches that.

And humans, you forgot that we are without OUR four leading scores. Not one, not two, but all four. Imagine Heats without Wade, Cook…and whoever tops their chart. We’ll probably whipped them. Without a doubt.
