RECAP: Warriors 99, Celtics 89: A Christmas Special!

Is Warrior Wonder because he epitomized the spirit of our team. Two years ago it was the whole league saying we couldn’t win, and that Stephen Jackson was a bumthug, and he showed them. This year it was 90% of Warriors fans calling for a trade, and he didn’t say a word, just came out with one of the best Warrior performances of the year en route to the best Warrior win of the year.

Also, I love Crawfish in the last picture, rocking the baggy jeans and velvety looking jacket.

And since you didn’t mention it, let me give props to Turiaf for stepping up big time. He defended the middle like Dwight Howard, hit 10 of 10 free throws, and brought a ton of energy and toughness to the game.

:D

Personally I think Marco drawing all the offensive fouls makes up for his turnovers.

I know a lot of people where hating the guy this year.

I never lost my faith in the guy because I knew, despite his limitation, the guy brings the intangibles. They could never win without him with this team. Its the exact opposite of Maggs and Crawford who are simply losers.

Better Love JAX because like him or not he is the only heart we got left.

Also I was wrong about Beli. I thought he was just not athletic enough for this league as I knew he wasn’t a pure shooter. I think its clear I was wrong. This kid has lots of athleticism and signs that he has the intangibles too.

Monta was at the Oracle Arena last night; his presence alone makes the team THAT good.

For some reason, (i’m going to sound like a fag for this) but mixed in with all my screaming during the game last night, was chuckling and laughter. I was going wild at that game, but at the same time I was laughing, because after all this is the Warriors we’re watching beating the Celtics. It was just hilarious seeing Marco Belinelli pwn those guys. We were playing without three of our 20 ppg players also.

In addition, the Stephen Jackson that I saw last night was the Stephen Jackson that i’ve been WAITING for all season. Many of you guys are like, “I never got mad at Jackson, I loved him all along”.

Sheesh, I was pissed as hell at Jackson all season until now. The reason why I loved him in that game is because he started playing his ROLE again. I was surprised that he wasn’t chucking up random three’s and bad shots earlier in the game (he’s been chucking all season long). He let Marco run the offense, and then when the time was right, Jackson started making the clutch shots that he’s known for.

That main post picture of Stephen Jackson.

I remember seeing him doing the “fist pumps in the air” thing towards the end of the game. The whole time I was like, “omg Jackson should do that longer! That would make for a great picture!”, and then when I saw flashes from the cameras I was hella excited, and knew I would see a picture of that on the front page of GSoM. hahaha.

I was 15 rows up for that game and I must say I did not see any of that coming. Some of my thoughts on the game:

1. Stephen Jackson played like he played last year. I credit this to the way he was used in the game. He was not the point forward (except for 2 minutes in the 3rd) Not being the distributor made him fall back into spot up shooting and tough defense. He did a great job on Pierce (despite pierce’s 21)

2. Marco Belinelli was a key to this win. He was like a fly on defense. You could not take yuor eye off of him becuase he was making plays on both sides of the court. He pissed off Ray Allen and got him fouled out with 7 minutes to play. He got to his spots and got offensive foul after offensive foul calls. He was great. Also I know he has been waiting for a coulpe years now to be center court pumping up a roarcle crowd… props to him.

3. Ronnie- Clutch free throws, great defense on KG. This man had to be the other factof in our win. Although he did not get 10 blocks… he was a stopped on defense and KG felt it. Capt. Ronnie was the man

4. Nellie- Thank you Nelli for settling down and coaching. For the first time all year he look animated and it was fun to see him.

The Roaracle————> This game showed the fans, the team, and the coaches what it is like when you compete. crawford said it best. “That was Crazy”. It brought back playoff flashbacks and hopefully that feeling can spark the team

I was soooo happy when the warriors won….that was one of the best games of my life!

Just rewatched the game, and saw that maggs (not in the picture very often in the telecast because he was in the 2nd row) did high five some people in the last few mins of the game. He was also clapping and standing.

he took so many hits that game. The Celts did want to push Marco around to get him agitated since he scored 11 and played well in the third.

Also I love how Turiaf played in that game.

As for turning point? maybe when Ellis comesback….Maggs? I do not know

Also I believe there was some no calls against the warriors during the 4th but it’s about time the refs get on our side!
