Golden State @ Minnesota


Supreme_dubz_2_medium

Do they have what it takes to be Golden State's Best Dance Crew?

Warriors (W-L) - 10-24
Timberwolves (W-L) - 6-25
Tip-Off: 5:00PM PST
TV: CSN
RADIO: KNBR 680

 

Alright! First game of the New Year and I wouldn't be happier than to have our Warriors set it off with a phat "W" for the 09'. Look who we're taking on, the 6-25 Minnesota Timberwolves! Then again, 3 days ago, we took on the 3-29 OKC Thunder and look what that got us - it gave them a rare win and handed us an unexpected loss! 

What's the atmosphere gonna be like tonight? Are our Dubz gonna play down to their opponents? Is our defense gonna show up tonight? Can Jamal Crawford drop it like it's hot and jack up some legit points? Will Rambo Belinelli prove (after a bad game) that Heroes never die....They just reload!

I'd like to call it an easy one for us but who am I kidding? I said that on Wednesday. We're going in there to match up against dudes like Al Jefferson, Kevin Love and Randy Foye. Shoot... Brian Cardinal might have a career night off the bench! I am optimistic that folks off our bench are gonna contribute greatly tonight like Azubuike (24 points in the second half, last game baby!) and CJ Watson with his consistent shooting. The same goes for Turiaf and Wright who I expect to see contribute on the defensive end.

 

Predictions

  • Warriors win by 1 (GSoM's long-running inside joke since 2005, lol)
  • Target Center Arena starts playing Rob Bass's "It takes 2" by the 2nd quarter
  • The Timberwolves forgot they were dealing with Rambo
  • Kelenna Azubuike comes off the bench and scores 24 points...again

So umm...

When is Monta due back? I believe the suspension was 33 games and this will be our 35th game. Anyone hear anything about his return?

Anyone hear anything about his return?

  He decided to buy a scooter and hit the road. I saw him leaving town with Jack Nickelson on the back.

didnt we just barely beat the Twolves last time, and that required a high scoring night from Jack

this could be another heartbreaker, Brian Cardnal WILL have a big game…i can feel it! And if Maggs plays he’ll score 20 somthing and we’ll have a whole bunch of people saying they never hated him, and we’re stupid for wanting him gone

by THIZZ-A-LOT on Jan 2, 2009 2:19 PM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

For Corey Maggette

it depends on whether he does more than just score. It’s whether or not he understands the team concept and share the ball and try to get everyone involved.

by IQofaWarrior on Jan 2, 2009 2:31 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

yeah

he could go for 30 points and we’d still lose

Here's a link to an article

boston herald. To me, I think he’s trying to motivate POB using his attitude. This is a funny line from the article:

“The development of the 22-year-old O’Bryant has been slow since he signed as a free agent last summer, and the team is essentially treating him as a rookie.”

This time of year (it’s fvcking freezing in NYC) I could eat pho pretty much every meal. I usually order the one with the rare beef that cooks in broth while you’re stirring it, but the shrimp dumpling one’s a strong second choice.

What’s your favorite place for pho, Tony?

NOOOOOO!!

WHENEVER WARRIORS BY 1 IS PREDICTED, WE LOSE!!! I understand it is some type of joke but the only games we have won recently is when we are predicted to lose big.

I’ll save Dubs nation a harsh defeat:

WARRIORS LOSE BY 17!!!

by reppin510 on Jan 2, 2009 4:50 PM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

It just basically

Win by 1. Means the author thinks we are going to lose. But instead of coming out and saying we are going to lose this game. Warriors win by 1 is just put up.
To not actually say our team is going to lose, when we think they will. But we all know what it means.

BIEDRINS SUCKS!!!

Yes, you heard me! He’s a defensive liability! How many f*cking 3-point plays does this loser give up?! He can’t set screens for sh*t, his freethrow shooting still sucks, he always leaves his feet on pump fakes, he doesn’t move his feet when shading the ball handler, and he gives up the most 3-point plays on weakass fouls!

Point is Biedrins is still SOFT!!!
