RECAP: Warriors 88, Heat 96 - In Christmas Tradition...

'Twas the night before Christmas,
And last night we sucked.
The Warriors are hopeless.
Let's face it, we're... um... screwed.
In GSoM style,
Let's bring you all home,
Let's recap this madness,
With a Christmas Eve poem.
Yup. That about sums it up.
So light ye fireplaces,
And gather kids near,
We'll mourn for the Warriors,
And shed us a tear.
Send letters to Santa,
With requests for some D,
Or some offensive power,
So we watch with some glee.
We're hitting rock bottom,
This is more than a slump,
Let's figure this out,
Right after the jump.
On the heels of our loss,
From Orlando that night,
We should have entered Miami,
Prepared for the fight.
With Crawford on pine,
T'would be a challenge to score,
It was up to our young ones,
To take over the floor.
"CONTAIN WADE!" Smart said,
"WE MUST MAKE THIS A THRILLER!"
Instead we paved way,
For a new Warrior Killer.
Congrats Daequan Cook,
We give you our thanks,
With your draining of threes,
You now enter the ranks.
Defense. *Clap Clap*
So what are the goods,
From another defeat?
Fool ourselves again?!
Remain blindly upbeat?!!
Sure CJ made shots,
Wright and Randolph did too.
And despite many attempts,
We owe Buike a few.
But the sad truth remains,
Let's be realistic,
We aren't the Warriors of yore,
More like a statistic.
As teams look at their schedule,
And they see us on tap,
Mark a Win in that column,
Cuz we're playing like crap.
Hey, it'll never stop me,
From donning that orange!
It's Warriors for Life!
Something something something... door hinge.
On Friday it's Boston,
Let's play these guys tight.
Until then, Merry Christmas to all,
And to Nellie, a Bud Light!
In my state of disgust,
In this time of unrest,
Through the worst I must look,
And discover the best?
No answer, you do it,
Discuss who you see,
And may you all get for Christmas,
A Nintendo Wii.

No Crawford and even though they suck, SJax and Maggs. They all contribute 18,19 ppg.

yeah
I thought our defense was actually pretty good, we just forgot about Cook a couple times. The offense was terrible but that’s to be expected with 4 20 ppg guys out. They hustled and that showed on defense, it means they’re trying at least.

We did good for the youngest team without out 4 best players.
Our 1-1 defense is getting better, we just fail to close out on some 3pt shoots, while the heat stopped ours.
If we had maggs, we probably would have won this one, or it would at lease been a lot closer.

Read Ric Bucher's post...
… on how Don Nelson is savaging this team (again).

Wow
Bucher really talks up Randolph in that article. Sure he has potential, but better than Rose? That’s saying a lot.
I really hope the last part is true, that the minority owners are trying to buy out Cohan. I’m 99% sure new ownership would help this franchise.

it pisses me off when i hear people call AR a bust or below average, im glad to see him get some props
They all think AR is a bust cause they see him getting 2-3 minutes everyother game in the boxscores so figure their must be a reason for that…..and there is, Nelson

Duuuuudesss
i just saw jamal and marco in sf. did anyone else see them? i went up to them and talked to them a little…they are both super cool guys. anyway that made my day, it was an early xmas present for me
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?"
by gorillas on Dec 24, 2008 5:53 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
yeah i know it was crazy
i was just talking to my dad and said “what if i saw marco or biedrins walking around in sf?” because we passed this restaraunt near powell called “bellini” and what do you know? i turn around and marcos standing RIGHT there. hahaha it was seriously crazy and a huge coincidence. then i was just chilling in the westfield mall in sf…then i see jamal walking around. so i yell his name out and go up to high five him…he was a super chill guy.

I would be excited too.
I barely see any Warriors, although I know someone who hangs out with Monta almost all the time. Even has Monta’s number, haha.

yeah one of my friends saw monta at my local mall just a few days ago…kind of weird that he would be out here in the suburbs…

Yeah
Always weird to see a big name person at some random store in the suburbs, instead of one of the big cities here in the Bay.
My cousin saw Mickael Pietrus (when he was still a rookie) at the BestBuy in Union City. He was at the CD section looking for some albums to buy. haha.

thats funny i live near that union city best buy and i go there all the time lol. one of my friends said a while back that they saw pietrus rehabbing in one of their gyms in san ramon when he was injured too. so it looks like pietrus is just making his mark everywhere in the bay.

Warriors did pretty good with the players that they had
They were missing their top 4 scorers, yet the team managed to do pretty well till the end of the 1st half. It kind of got my hopes up to see how good the team would be if they were healthy.
Remember when we had a pretty good lead against the Celtics @ Boston? We gave that lead up, but if the Warriors stayed healthy they could have learned how to manage a lead.
It’s weird, cause the score was so low in the first half. The Warriors are a bad defensive team, that’s also the reason why they’re the 2nd highest scoring team in the league. Their defense is so bad that other teams can score at will on the Warriors, causing Warrior games to be so high scoring. But in that first half in Miami, the Warriors looked pretty good on D.

gor a game
with so many rookies playing, B Wright still only got like 9 minutes, I thought for sure he would have gotten major minutes. If we would have had even one of (Jax, Maggs, Crawford) in, we would have probably won, or if Beans had had some offensive presence.

good defense
but bad on offense
I will always be your fan JRich. Good Luck

When what to my wondering eyes should a'holler
but a downtrodden staff
and fifteen large dub ballers
With blustery driver, so cranky and long,
I knew in a moment it must be old Don.
More rapid than eagles his cursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now, Jackson! now, Buike! now, Mags and now Beans!
On, Monta! on Morrow! on, Ronnie and CJ
To the top of the key! to the high post!
Break into transition and let’s go coast to coast.
Down the court St. Don walked with a bound.
He was dressed all in a suit with his belly all round
But now his clothes were all tarnished with sweat and disgust;
And he yelled at his rookies that they were a bust.
He was chubby and plump, a right blustery old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave Cohan to know his team was in threads;
Then He sprang to his car and he flew to Hawaii
And left all his fans in their homes who were crying
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
“Happy Christmas to all, we’ll win 20 all right?”
“Next year anew, I’ll be gone, don’t you see?
And in eleven more years you’ll be begging for me.”
