OPEN THREAD: Clippers vs. Warriors

by dj fuzzylogic on Apr 12, 2008 10:02 AM PDT in Previews Comment 222 comments

Warriors (W-L): 47-32

Clippers (W-L): 23-56

Time: 7:30PM PST tip off

TV:CSN Bay Area

At this point, will and skill alone can't get the Warriors into the playoffs.

Sitting at 47-32, one game behind the current 8th playoff seeded Denver Nuggets owning the tie-break and not to mention the Warriors during the season, the Warriors needs more luck than picking a four leaf clover, rubbing the belly of a buddha statue, and a billion heads-up pennies could bring combined. Since halfway through the season, tonights game counts as much as the game before and the game before that one... basically the Warriors need to win and the Nuggets need to lose!

This is all very possible still considering the fact that the Warriors are playing the injury-plagued LA Clippers and Denver is playing against Utah, who loses at home about as much as Patrick O'Bryant gets off the bench. Translation: Never. Lets hope today is no exception.

The Clippers just got Elton Brand back only to have Chris Ka(ve)man go down for the season. Only five games into his season, Brand already looks like he's in game shape and rhythm. I worry that Brand alone will somehow will the Clippers to a win. But I guess with Maggette potentially out, this team looks nothing more than the NBDL team, the Miami Heat. I guess summer-league came early for quite a few players this season!

Predictions:

* Warriors by 3
* Monta Ellis has 27 points
* Azubuike nets 8 points, but when it matters most
* Al Thorton scores 40 points
* Quinton Ross is tonight's official Warrior Killer

What are your predictions for the game? Big things popping? Little sh... stopping?

there's hope yet - ya, we'd need some big help but Denver is not a juggernaut

Good find

this gives me even more hope!...Go Utah!!!, Go Houston, Go MEMPHIS?!?!?!?!? 4-0!!!!

Let's see

what mindset the Warriors will come out of the locker with. They'll either come out fighting and die trying, or they've already mentally mailed in the season. I'd love for them to finish the season 3-0 and reach 50 wins. If Denver doesn't choke, we don't make the playoffs with 50 wins, that's just another chip on the shoulder for us Warriors fans.

I will be at the game tonight

And yelling as loud as at any other game.
My predictions:

Baron hits 33, 10 dimes and 7 boards
Jackson gets 22
Monta gets 27
Beans slaughters Kaveman and pulls down 16 Rodmans.
Warriors win by 23 in a never close one.

Bringin' down the house, we believe style.

Who's all going to the game?

I'm going to be up at Club 200 so I can watch the Jazz vs Nuggets and our Dubs game. I don't like how the arena only updates us once during the whole duration of the game. That, and I get too nervous not being able to see what is going on.

by Golden Boy on Apr 12, 2008 10:02 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs

Warriors got me depressed

And they had me stressin the last 2 weeks. If we miss the playoffs, it'll hurt because we're so close and got so many wins. Missing the playoffs during that 12 year drought was ok, since we SUCKED; but to miss the playoffs even though the team has 47+ wins??? That's like getting straight A's or B's for a whole school year and having them becoming F's on the very last day, just because all the other students had slightly better grades. I know, it's a corny analogy but whatever.

Anyways, go Warriors and go Utah.

Better Analogy

Just wanna put out a better analogy: Getting straight A's and still not being able to get into Harvard medical school...LOL. Yes, let's hope the Utah score holds up and we beat the Clippers.

Maggette

Rotoworld has Maggette as "probable" for tonight's game.

http://rotoworld.com/content/HeadLines.aspx?sport=NBA&hl=97470

Still, Baron should be able to abuse whatever sorry PG the Clips throw out there (Dickau or Smush). This is a tough matchup for us though, cuz Brand, Thornton and Maggette all like to take the ball inside. Hopefully we can pack in the zone and have active hands.

Is Artest a post-up rebounder?

I'm already aware of his scoring/defense capabilities, but is he a pf? If he is and he's a constant rebounder, I think he may just be the missing piece to the puzzle. Assuming of course that Monta, Biedrins, and Baron come back. I normally wouldln't go for Ron due to his stuid outbursts during games, but maybe for who's available, that's who we should get.

Go CLIPS.

Beans slaughters Caveman? Dude...looks like as a warriors fan you'd AT THE VERY LEAST know the competition your team is playing against? The Clips don't even have Kaman! If your team is just as clueless as you are...look out...you just might lose. Poor warriors...a team that gets 50 wins and STILL WON'T MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. Nellie was right...you should not have given up J-rich. And for what? ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING. What a stroke of genius by your organization....NOT.

Question for Cynthia

I know you're just trying to get attention, but I do have something to ask. Fresh off choking from a 2-0 Finals series lead vs the Heat, a 67-15 season went where?

by Golden Boy on Apr 12, 2008 2:16 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

The J-Rich Trade

You call one of our fans "clueless", yet you yourself is a clueless person as well. You say the J-Rich trade is bad when you don't even know the benifets that we received from that trade. You also failed to give credit to the fact that the team is much more successful without him. The trade was a great move because we now have a lot of money to use on resigning Monta and Biedrins; plus we got a pretty good prospect in return. Had we not given up Richardson, we would have A LOT of problems with our cap space and we would not have any flexibility in that area.

And you say "Nellie was right". What exactly did Nellie say about Richardson that makes him "right"? If I recall, both Nellie and Mullin were happy with the trade.

Last year with J-Rich = 42 wins
This year without J-Rich = 50 wins & more money

We did fine without him this season. It's just that the Western Conference is way too good this year. And thanks for the heads up about Kaman not playing, we apologize for not knowing about a team who rarely anyone follows in the first place.

looks like someone is still mad about last year. Cynthia, get over it. Even if we don't make the playoffs, we still won. NObody in this site will disagree with that. YOu visit GSOM more than your mavericks blog site----thanks for the compliment. You are jelous of our community. GSOM rules NO:1

On a side note

Jason Richardson' Bobcats have a chance to really put the #8 seed away from Dunleavy's Pacers. JR is up by 5 at half time right now. I don't know if a Pacer's lost will knock them out of the playoff race, but they're chances will be slimmed to near 0.

I want to comment on Houstons game with Denver

Does anyone else notice the need for Houston to beat Denver in tomorrows game to secure home court advantage and take a giant step forward in the rankings... Especially with San Antonio playing the Fakers?

If we go 3-0, we will be in the playoffs... I see it very clearly.

Utah is beating Denver as we speak. Houston has to win tomorrows game and are on a roll. When Denver starts a slide of losing, they usually lose two back to back.

Go Dubs.

lol

if we actually end up pulling this off and make the playoffs, it shows why all the other games were such a microcosm of our situation. we're in the driver's seat for much of the season (we're in the driver's seat for the all 3 quarters) we let up at the end of the season and the other team catches up to us, putting us in a precarious situation, (we let up in the 4th quarter and the other team makes a game of it, leading by a couple of points with under a minute left) then all of a sudden everything goes our way and we are victorious by the skin of our teeth (then all of a sudden we hit huge shots and get big steals to seal the deal at the end of the game) either way go warriors, i don't think any fan has it better than we do, no matter how many more wins the other teams get, we've been in such a miserable situation for so many years that even an 8th or 9th seed and the exciting way the warriors play makes me more grateful to be a warrior fan than if i enjoyed any other team.

Daydreaming thoughts

if somehow denver loses to houston and we beat phoenix and make the playoffs, do you think Nellie is going to play the underdog schmoe thing again? That we're just lucky to be here? Any chance that could keep the Warriors playing loose and free like last year?

2 consecutive possessions

where Baron gets fouled and there's no call, then a Clippers player does the same thing and gets the call.

I swear, some of these games whenever the Warriors are about to go on a run the refs stop their momentum.

by belilaugh on Apr 12, 2008 9:05 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

Yup

Baron got a major bump, and no call. Brand lowers the shoulder as Biedrins is backing up and it's a blocking foul.

by VDubs831 on Apr 12, 2008 9:08 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

I saw that too

can't believe that wasn't called. That bump was hella obvious

First

time yes it was magical. We were hitting on all cyclinders. Jackson and Harrington shot us to victory with their 3s. Second game was during Ellis' magical 60% shooting month in which he generated buckets at will.

Both of those ingredients are missing this month.

Not exactly

From my memory, Shaq got into foul trouble early and pretty much didn't play a significant amount of minutes. They run us out of the building, and Amare was unstoppable.
