OPEN THREAD: Warriors vs Kings - The Battle Rages On.

Kings (W-L): 36-41
Time: 7:30PM PST tip off
TV:CSN Bay Area
Vegas Odds: Golden State by 11 (source: yahoo.com)
Despite our loss in New Orleans on Sunday morning, we were fortunate enough to witness Denver fall short on their matchup to the Sonics, keeping us tied for 8th place (technically 9th due to the regular season record) with matching win-loss records.
We were lucky. That may not be the case again.
It's time to find out what kind of team we really are. Will it be fortune that allows us our 2nd Playoff berth in two years? Or will it be us taking matters into our own hands?! Tonight we will truly see which path these Warriors are going to take.
JUMP!!!
We cannot rely on Denver losing anymore. Especially because while we are facing off against the Kings, a team that handed us a loss on March 18th, Denver will be facing off against the 23 and 54, completely eliminated from Playoff contention, Clippers. Translation? We have to assume a Denver win. In fact, it would be great if the Warriors just went ahead and made this assumption for the rest of the season.
...with the exception of this Thursday's game of course.
That being said, we should keep in mind that we ourselves are playing a team that is eliminated from Playoff contention. Given this fact, it should be interesting to see what kind of minute distribution the Kings give to their franchise players like Ron Ron and Martin. Hopefully they decide not to put their money players at injury risk and, as a result, show a little Northern California love to their boys in Oakland!
I suppose that would be too easy, wouldn't it? And if Warriors history has taught us anything, nothing comes easy. Nothing. The fight for the 8th spot in the West rages on!
EVERY. GAME. COUNTS.
Predictions
* Warriors win, Denver loses.
* Warriors win, Denver loses.
* Warriors win, Denver loses.
* Warriors win, Denver loses.
* Warriors by 8.
GSoM Fun Fact: After this recap, I will have written on every Kings game this season. Total coincidence.

Wow judging by the comments and poll
Can't be anymore annoying than seeing all those purple jerseys at oracle when the kings come to town .
people from sacramento
Oh about the game?? Well expect Francisco Garcia to be the 2nd coming of George Gervin, K Mart as Reggie Miller, John Salmons as Carmelo Anthony and Shelden Williams well... as the caveman from the Geico commercials.
Keys to a Warrior win: BY NOW, THEY SHOULD KNOW WHAT TO DO, AND HOW TO DO IT TO WIN. It doesnt take an expert. SHOW THE F UP W'S!
First one to 100 wins.

I am looking for a birthday present for my girlfriend. She says she wants a pink Monta Ellis jersey. I have been unable to find one anywhere. Does anyone have any idea where I might find one? She swears she saw it somewhere but I am coming up empty. Thanks.
On another note I just looked at the Kings board. Brad Miller is out for the rest of this year, and Artest might be out for this game as well.

Also, we're already looking at Denver, check out Carmelo's recent games. The guy is a beast. He turns it on early in the first, and absolutely never lets up. He has to be the best mid range shooter in the game.
13-17 tonight for 36 points.
I don't think Iverson has been shooting that well lately, but he's always a threat late in games.

there is less of a correlation
Frankly, the article you pulled on the Premier League is more persuasive.
that's interesting, I must admit
I do know of studies on 82 Games and other places that determine that the single biggest advantage home NBA teams get is the FG% on outside shots. This seems to suggest that the familiarity if the home floor and the shooting environment is the largest contributor to home court advantage. At least in the NBA, the percentage of referee calls does not suggest any significant bias. None of the other "hustle" stats (rebounding, steals, blocks, etc.) seem out of the ordinary at home versus away either.
I must admit the article is intriguing and I thank you for bringing it to the table. I'm a little hesitant to apply that study to NBA basketball, but I will definitely consider it.
here's a basketball related one for you
warriors dont fish they hunt!
by VonteegoCummings on Apr 8, 2008 11:11 PM PDT up reply actions
Um, did you actually read that abstract?
- The results if the study were inconclusive. Sorry.
- Like the other studies I cited, it mentioned that outside shots are more affected by home courts.
- Doesn't make the case for a crowd (i.el "social participation") has a definitive effect on performance. The hypothesis that the crowd made a difference was not proven.
- The studies were done in an amateur environment, not professional ones.
- The advantage applies to better teams rather than poor ones further lower the probability.
Nice googling there, dude.

played hoops in collge
my point is/was -- it that crowd participation is overrated. fans think it is more important than it really is. I do not believe that a home crowd can significantly impact the results of a professional basketball game. it certainly cannot claim any credit for a victory. I totally stand by that and your basketball crowd study link substantiates that.
a telling quote
"...playing at home increases familiarity for the players and thus makes the tasks they perform more dominant."
Home teams know the rims, the building, the lighting, the shooting background, etc.
Kind of my initial point.

by VonteegoCummings on Apr 8, 2008 11:46 PM PDT up reply actions
it is still the environment
They play at altitude which is difficult for sea-level teams. That is why they have exaggerated home court advantages. Not the level of intensity of their fans.
They have the most dramatic home court/road team records because their athletes are accustomed with the oxygen levels in their environment. Each team has some similar, but less dramatic home court advantage because of the familiarity of their home surroundings.
P.S. sorry about your crack about your intramural hoops team. That was a little out of line.
no problem
This might be a stretch but is it a coincidence that our home record this year is not as good as last?
maybe because the fans last year was more into it?
warriors dont fish they hunt!
by VonteegoCummings on Apr 8, 2008 11:54 PM PDT up reply actions
suffice to say
But still, it is impossible to say how much. And other factors simply must be considered when factoring home court advantage,
I will cede your point somewhat. You have made a very good point re: adrenaline and its role in the body and its role during loud and stressful situations. These definitely apply to loud home crowds. You have my respect, Vonteego.
you're a better man than me, Vonteego

READ THIS!!!
NBA timebreakers for the playoffs go like this (and we all know the Nuggets and Warriors currently have the same record)
1) Head to Head
Ok, Denver leads this 2-1, but the W's have a chance at making it 2-2, so...
2) Conference Record
Nuggets 28-20
Warriors 27-21
With a "W" on Thursday, they are identical at 28-21, so...
3) Records against teams at or above .500
Denver 20-22
Warriors 20-23
