OPEN THREAD: Game 51 - Warriors vs Wizards

by Fantasy Junkie on Feb 11, 2008 1:58 PM PST in Previews

Warriors (W-L): 30-20

Wizards (W-L): 24-26

Time: 7:30pm PST

TV:FSN Bay Area

Radio: KNBR 680

Wow, this is a like Warriors reunion month. First, Jason Richardson makes his way back to Oakland, then the Warriors sign a former #1 draft pick who was banished a long time ago, then the Warriors played against their former #1 draft pick, and now two more popular former Warriors come to town, Gilbert Arenas and Antawn Jamison. It's unfortunate we won't see Agent 0 tonight because he's always a joy to watch, but nevertheless, we'll still get a chance to watch Antawn's shotput shot and reminisce about his back to back 51's.

Jump!

Is this Jamison from years ago or Jamison (free agent) next year?

Is this Gilbert from years ago or Gilbert (free agent) next year?

This offseason, wouldn't it be crazy if the Mullin decided to go out and sign Jamison and Arenas, both potential free agents, to bring them back to the Bay?

Back to reality...

The Wizards are, to understate this, struggling. They have lost 7 in a row and 8 of their last 9. But it's okay, they haven't really changed their playoff position as the 6th seed in the East. No really, how do you go from 24-19 and to 24-26 and remain as the 6th seed? Here we are as Warrior fans worried that our team won't make the playoffs if we are 10 games above .500. Meanwhile, in the alternate basketball universe, the Eastern Conference, the current 6th-8th seeds are under .500. It just makes me believe that if the Heat got super hot and finished 24-9 they would have a shot at the playoffs. A team with 9 wins right now, still with a chance to make the playoffs.

But I digress. The Wizards just aren't playing well and it certainly doesn't help to have Caron Butler out the last 3 games and 6 of the last 8.

The Warriors on the other hand have been winning quite a few games, 7-3 in their last 10, 11-5 since January 7.

Recently, we've seen the emergence of one of our young stars. He's been going absolutely nuts and is literally carrying the scoring load on this team. He gets so many easy buckets in transition with his speed and can create his own shot. He's led the team in scoring the past 3 games and in 5 of the last 8 games. He's led the team in rebounding in 2 of the last 4 games. To say I'm impressed is a gross understatement. I'm amazed and astonished by his recent streak of hotness. Check out the quotes from the Kings game:

Nellie:
"That guy is incredible, he is an amazing player. They were blitzing the screen and roll and taking him (Monta) out of that so we really had to get him the ball by other means. He has the ability to smell out openings when they were zoning and he makes great cuts and then they fouled him. But it wasn't an easy night, we weren't able to gear our offense to set him up and he still comes up with 34 points. The turning point in the game for us was when we started to post up their smaller guards and drew double teams and that kind of got us rolling a little bit when it was quite a struggle. When Baron has a game like this we normally don't win it, so Monta had to have a big game and he did."

Andris Biedrins:
He was great. He really stepped it up, especially when B.D. (Baron) got his sixth foul and we needed somebody to step it up. Monta did a tremendous job on the offensive end and that's why we won, because of him.

Al Harrington:
Monta is the MVP. He's been playing incredible, shooting at an unbelievable percentage and when you're playing like that he doesn't want to miss any days, any practices, anything...he wants to keep that going definitely.

With BD not playing in his All-Star caliber form of late, someone had to step up to keep this team afloat, and Monta has done that. I'm not sure Monta can keep up this torrid shooting streak, but if he can continue to hit the boards (around 5 per game) and keep the assists up (around 4), we're seeing the emergence of a young star.

Tonight will be no different. He's going to tear it up, nobody on the Wizards can keep up with him on the break and nobody can stay in front of him. Let the hot hand roll tonight!

I can already here the 3's raining down from the arc - I just hope I hear the swishes.

Predictions

Warriors win by 5
What's wrong with Baron? Nothing tonight. He puts together his best performance of Feb.
Monta stays red hot and shoots "only" 80% from the field
Jamison scores 30

i have a feeling monta will feel pressure to be the go to man and falter.

hopefully my pessimism is the polar opposite of what will happen.. but my prediction about the bulls beating us was right :(

by saintdee on Feb 11, 2008 2:56 PM PST reply actions

No Predictions

You can't predict anything with this team. We beat good teams and lose to crappy teams. No rhyme or reason, they're just looking for their next dice game, see if they can hit a hot streak.

by WilliamVanLandingham on Feb 11, 2008 3:12 PM PST reply actions

probably

though getting crushed on the boards and positive turnover differential are two things you can usually count on.

by the evil monkey on Feb 11, 2008 7:36 PM PST up reply actions

That line

Warriors by 10 seems high to me. Not that I think the Warriors will lose, but I don't think it will be a double digit victory.

I doubt Baron will have a bad game today, I think he'll make some adjustments, shoot less if they aren't falling and feed Monta. I would like to see Webber shoot his jumpshot a couple times early.

by belilaugh on Feb 11, 2008 3:13 PM PST reply actions

mmm

actually this is one of those games we win. we win 2 lose 1. So theoretically and based on our history this season this is one of those we win. We should lose the one against PHX

Oh and is there any new news about the rumors of Mr. "Tru Warier" himself? Oh and GSoM is OFF THE HOOK! YEE !

portland

i agree that we should be rooting against the rockets. i don't believe portland will be able to put together a better second half then what they did in the first with that absurd win streak of theirs. i think we should be looking at denver and houston as the teams were competing against for playoff position.

why does this happen. First Jackson hits his wall for 4-5 games then picks it up since the hornets game. Now Davis hits the wall.. hopefully this won't last long. We can't afford a no show from a captain for long

Key to the 1st half

is Monta's terrible defense. It's his man who is scoring over and over again almost every time down the court. Just like on that last screen that he didn't go over. Monta has emerged as an offensive force of late, but I wish I had taken notes on how many of these Duhon-type possessions have come against his defense.

by Bucky on Feb 11, 2008 8:42 PM PST reply actions

monta's giving mason too many good looks. he's a legit warrior killer candidate if we lose this game.

I thought the

five day rest was gonna be good for Baron, but then Webber came back. I think he's still feeling the effects of all the playing time. OZ was right, Baron not going to the all-star game was blessing in disguise. But until then other guys need to help carry the load.

hm?

sure looks like Baron is just not playing with much enthusiasm. Baron didn't play the full 5 days. Jackson said he played like 2 or 3 since he already knew the plays. I think getting passed up hurt Baron more than we thought.

warriors

got my hopes up than 4 quick points and we're down to 14 again

by saintdee on Feb 11, 2008 9:01 PM PST reply actions

Maybe not as bad as we think

You know, we are playing a typical Warriors basketball game: shooting 50+% from the field and a surprisng 50+% from the 3 pt line...

We know we aren't a very good defensive team, so we need to stop pretending like our defense is surprising today; we're losing big because of one main reasons:
1. We keep FOULING and they keep making FTs. They have 11 more free points off FTs than we do, which is a pretty substantial number in a half

Also, They have made 9 out of 14 threes for a ridiculous 64% clip... I think the odds are they will cool off a little bit, if we go on a small run and we bring the lead down to say 8 going into the 4th, I really like our chances.

Granted we need to play smarter more fundamental defense, but they will fall back down to earth. Baron will pick it up, he almost always does.

Ways to kill Warrior momentum

Call a timeout
Draw a foul
(half-joking) Run a pick and roll/pop.

I am demanding an unreal performance from Baron in the second half, he is a major reason we are in this hole and he would be a major reason we'd get out of it.

he's basically taking andris' minutes and b/c he messes up our flow baron and jax have been playing like 44 minutes a game.

their offense is 100x better posting baron or jax than it is running that princeton offense w/ zero shooters.

by WarriorForLife on Feb 11, 2008 10:12 PM PST up reply actions

EXACTLY!

The Warriors are very capable.

My thinking is that those games were do or die games since they were in such a big hole, they brought defensive intensity the entire night because they played with urgency.

I think that right now, they are picking and choosing spots to play defense, which is not entirely on the players, because if I'm Baron and I know that I'm going to play 40+ every night the entire season and I would likely be needed for a stretch run (not to mention I've been injury prone in the past), then I would probably pace myself as well.

That's why I think a little substitution would go a long way.

I hope

this game is a microcosm for the Warriors season. Starts off terrible (0-6), Warriors make a run to get the game back to respectability (8th seed), Warriors then make mini runs put are kept on the brink of elimination (still 8th seed), play very well down the stretch and get to down by two with Jack shooting FTs (playoffs, light at end of tunnel is there, but dim), then the Warriors simply will themselves to the win (championship).

he's good enough so he probably won't eff up, like by turning it over or stepping out of bounds.
