PrintWin or lose, today is going to be a good one!
For years, the GSoM community has been an excellent source for all news Warriors. Fueled by the knowledge and dedication of its readers, GSoM has become an incredible community; one that the writers are sincerely proud of.
But like any good community, it is our social responsibility to ensure that we are contributing, as well as consuming. It seems only fitting that we have this opportunity on a day like today - Martin Luther King day.
"An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity."
- Martin Luther King Jr.
Warriors (W-L): 12-29
Wizards (W-L) - 8-31
Tip-Off - 1:00pm PST
TV: CSN
Radio: KNBR
Today is first GSoM Kids Day. Thanks to enormous assistance by the Golden State Warriors we were able to reach out and offer tickets to today's game to children from a number of Bay Area youth organizations who would relish the chance to watch their favorite team at the Oracle Arena.
Today's organizations include children from Bay Area Youth, Youth Speaks, Oakland Children's Hospital, Dream League, Be A Mentor, American Indian Child Resource Center, and Healthy Oakland. Sincerest thanks to GSoM friend Chris Murphy from the Golden State Warriors as well as enormous props to Fantasy Junkie for running point for all of us on putting this great project together.
While today promises to be a great time no matter what, a win would certainly be the icing on the cake. After all, we are matching up against the worst team in the NBA. But if I learned anything, it's that the Warriors are the most unpredictable team out there. A team that could win against Boston, and lose against...
Well let's just go out there and seal this one up, shall we? C'mon Warriors! DO IT FOR THE KIDS!!!
Predictions:
- GSoM Kids have a GREAT TIME OUT!
- Caron Butler goes for 25 plus
- Antawn makes some ugly shots.
- Monta's debut? Not yet.
- Warriors by 5

No Marco/CJ probably
And obviously no monta/bwright. So still down 3 starters.
Our best chance is if we can keep our TOs down and rebound well. Last game Maggs was the rebound king, lets hope he can continue. As for TOs – Sjax will have to be more careful.
Their rookie big man will do some damage...
only to have it all forgotten when AR dunks on him and his giant ears
W's by 5

Were gonna finally see Marcus play
I’m sure Marcus will get plenty of time today and jermareo davidson… It’s going to be fun to see what these guys could do. I think Morrow is gonna go off tonight too. Interesting to see how our bench will beat these guys.
Who will play the 4?
Will AR start or maggs? Or possibly even Kurz? Or Nellie Forbid, Turiaf?
prolly maggs, nelson loves MaggVSjamison

AR will start imo
You know I spit technique to the freshest freak
Gimme a call you will see results in just a week
With the soul of a LOST HAWK
Is there a heaven for a Rap Cat, let's talk
anyone got a link for the game?
Looks like is isn’t on CSN.
It is on CSN here
Comcast Cable shows the game on the CSN channel.
Another Benefit to Working At Home
Take laptop to couch and answer emails while watching the warriors. Warriors better win to make me not feel bad about not working hard. Of course, we tend to beat good teams and loose to bad ones…
Yeah, except Mondays is our weekly meeting days at 2pm
That’s why I’m screwed today. Oh well, that’s why there’s scoreboard watching.

I'll need to wrap up my conference call by 1 so I can be ready for tipoff
It’ll be like the end of the Southwest commercial where the two guys have non-refundable tickets and run out on the meeting.
Rated-R Predictions
- Our Golden State Warriors defeat the Washington Wizards, 120-112.
- Marco Belinelli doesn’t give Jim Barnett the pregame rubdown.
- Andris Biedrins grabs 16 rebounds.
- Antawn Jamison goes nuts.
- Nick Young finally has a bad game in the month of January.

I hate you youngsters

Link?
Anyone have a link to the game? Sucks being stuck at work.
No but I wouldn't be surprised
if Monta is NOT back yet, because they don’t want to rush him
Wizards and Thunder in a row!?
only the warriors couldnt look at that as a ‘gift’
Warriors by 1
Roaracle comes to life again and we take the lead in the final moments after coming back from 23 down! oh wait that was last season….
F**K REFS
wow. crawford with 5 points already!
Basketball Fant points!
and oh ya…Go Warriors!

Here in Brazil we have a day
similar to MLK day. Its called Zumbi Day.
This Zumbi guy was a former slave that escaped from prison and formed a great rebellion against the government. So its called the Black Conscience Day
F**K REFS
live stream?
anybody know where I could stream the game live?
Monta WANTS to play but Warriors won't let him...
Hopefully he plays against the Thunder, it’s not like he got injured during a BASKETBALLGAME,(except his lie), only way he can get it injured again is if he gets on a Moped again..
he aint playing the Jack ive come to loath...
he must have got my e-mail
NICE
i love the offiating tonight, they arent callin ghost fouls on AB
How's our team's energy today?
Do we still look like a cohesive team like the past few games?
Not as good as the hawks game
Not too much ball movement, but the D looks better.
Maggs is owning the game
Scoring with ease, setting up morrow. 3 asts already
I'm sorry
could you repeat that for me? I didn’t read you right. Did you just say Maggette and assist in the same post?
by IQofaWarrior on Jan 19, 2009 1:47 PM PST up reply actions
Morrow not getting passes
He was free on at least 3 plays (his defender was away from him, helping in the inside because of maggs) and no one passed to him. A little bit too selfish playing going on here.
see so morrows off, but they should get him a few looks everygame early to see if he's going to be Clippers game crazy
but the great thing about him is that, he can still get rebounds, tips, and his D is getting better
AM needs more open looks to get started
Then he’ll be able to score from shots that he creates on his own.
Small collapse coming
Not taking good shots. Beans with 0 pts too, which is unusual.
Morrow – man, his D closes out on him really fast when he gets the ball. He needs to move a bit more.
True...
They need to get him coming off some screens. He seems to float out by the three point line a lot to stretch the D but he is good enough offensively to run some sets for.
Thing 2
Antawn makes a nice handbag for Corey
Something for Corey to bring with him when he’s visiting the key
man our "big 3"
plus Monta! + AB having a normal point game! we might got somthing
Too many guards
Marco at pg, ellis at 2, so who takes the 3rd? Sjax or jc? Unles JC is our pg and marco backs him up?
Cause the 4 needs to be bwright or AR and maggs can backup that.
Marco won't start
I think you have it right with JC starting and Morrow/Marco/CJ along with Kelenna being the backup guards. We’ll have 12 guys who can play in the NBA: JC, Monta, Jax, Brandan, AB as starters, Morrow, Marco, CJ, Kelenna, Corey, AR, and Ronny off the bench
The PG position will be interesting
Not sure who is better, marco or jamal. Marco had some nice playing before his injury. But I guess having too many pg prospects ain’t a bad problem.
true, we need a PF or a center, cause we could slide turiaff to PF
a dominate anyone of those.
kinda getting me hopfull for next season!
i wonder how many of them we’ll trade in the off season for more project players
jamal has an opt out chance
A lot of people say he will take it to get a long term deal. A contender could look at him as a great 6th man. So he may be gone.
maggs
3 reb, 3asts and leading all scorers with 16
He might be getting 6th man awards soon.
Jason Terry got that on lock
but i was thinking the same thing, but warriors get no respect. Montas award blew me away
wow
when’s the last time we were up double digits at the half?
CJ
I like that that he is suited but hasn’t played yet. Keep him as an option, but try not to so he can heal.
TMNT
4-13 fg 1-6 3pt today (they did win though)
Sure looks like that trade benefited us.
Mankinds on the TNA wrestling show now, poor guy...
thats like the D-league of wrestling
theres the Jack i know
he just lost the ball like a kid dribbling the ball for the fisrt time
Another mini collapse
Now it is time to uncollapse.
Man AR starts getting it going, and now hes about to come out...
while Jack continues to turn the ball over
At least he can feel good when he goes to the bench
Hopefully he’ll come back in again and have good confidence
yeah but thats the thing, he doesnt get let back in.
he gets a certain amount of time, and gets taken out. He played poorly first Qrtr; take him out.
He plays well 3Q; taken out.
Jack was slashing and getting inside the first half
now hes chucking,
Maggs continues to hussle
Asts, rebounds, drawing fouls.
I liked AR’s play too, but having maggs is awsome too.
"Force" warriors TO?
nope, we just pass them the ball too much
Even though we are up...
wassup with the 8 TO’s in the 3rd?
(you guys notice the Wizards had 3 and Dubs had 7 at one point?)
37 37 37 37
lol.

LOL.
No reasoning. Its a long story, but basically it started as a random number and turned into a weird crazy obsession. I see that number everywhere now. LOL.

nice lay-in by Jack
Nelly has wet dreams about starting Monta at center.
Morrow!
I have a feeling he may be a Most Improved candidate next season
how can you not love this kid
hes a humble, hardworking kid. thats one thing most undrafted kids got in common, not taking things for granted and working their ass off for a spot on the team (like buike did)
word man. LMFAO
I was hella crackin up. AB had good defense on him and made him Moded.

Playoffs still possible, but a We Believe-type push is going to have to happen.
Nelly has wet dreams about starting Monta at center.
Oh damn.

Good sign for rebuilding season
Playing good at home. Develop chemistry, get healthy.
now beat thunder
To make up for the lose against them
not happy with the defining moment they chose
Should have taken that awesome 70 ft drive to the basket, after which barnett had that great comment – “Its the holidays and the freeways are empty”

yeah they was just saying he made some "bad" choices
it was hella awkward how they were trying to avoid saying what happend while saying they feel for him. lol i was waitng for kenny to say somthing bout a BJ lol
Anyone see the NBA on TNT ad where Barkley says he's "1,000 percent innocent"?
They should play that clip every time they show his mug shot
lol
at least we proved we’re not worse than the worst of the east. WE STILL BELIEVE 10TH SEED!
LMAO
Crawford plays All 48 minutes in a 21 point victory… Marcus Williams gets none… Its not Marcus’s fault anymore, not being in shape etc… that’s strait hatred for mwill from Nelson
Craw is gonna be burned out soon
He played 60 minutes in that 3 OT game and he’s been consistently logging 40+ minutes.
to add to dc's comment
even if Monta & CJ were out for the year, i doubt JC getting burnt out is going to be much of a concern this season.
most times, non-playoff contending teams play nothing but young players for the last 10-15 games anyway (see the Warriors after and before Nellie – or any other bad team. if you stuck around, that’s when guys like Diogu exploded statistically for us. a recent example – that’s why Sessions came out of nowhere last season.

Anyone watching Suns @ Celtics?
Suns are getting slaughtered. Down by 24 in the middle of the 2nd qtr. Matt Barnes only 2 pts off the bench, JRich 0 as a starter.
Just got home from SFO
I missed the game. I’m just happy we did not lose to the Wizards.
I will always be your fan JRich. Good Luck
It's a BLOWout
