RECAP: Warriors 108, Timberwolves 115 - Warriors lose again...

Big_trouble_in_little_t_medium

Kurz: Everybody relax, I'm here.

Yep. The Warriors lose by 7... again. (2 nights in a row) This one was another winnable game against the 2nd worst team in the NBA: The Minnesota Timberwolves! (no disrespect, the records on paper) Forgive me for sounding upset, not only am I down with the flu but I have a wedding to attend at 10am tomorrow (who gets married at 10am?!) I could have been resting up, but watching this game was unbearable. We really needed this one, but nobody really showed up guns blazing, and when they did, it was a little too late.

More Big Trouble... after the jump!

Star-divide

Al Jefferson... He's gonna be an All-Star.

Some Facts about the game...

• Al Jefferson had 32 points and 10 rebounds against the Dubs.

• Ryan Gomes (who looked like an All-Star against the W's) scored 13 of his 21 points in the 3rd quarter. He also had 10 rebounds!

• Kevin Love also added 19 points and eight rebounds.

• Yup... we were out rebounded, out hustled and out gunned...  again.

• Jamal Crawford was 3-12 shooting for 11 points. We really needed him tonight.

Some positives: Jackson scored 25 points along with 7 assists. Biedrins had 18 points with 13 rebounds, but got sloppy. 6 Warriors were in double digits but it just wasn't enough.

• Actually, a lot of our folks were mad sloppy on the floor: 15 Turnovers! (6 by Jackson) and out rebounded 50 to 39!  This was a tough one to write...

Azubuike showing off that rare emotion!

 

Some Thoughts from GSoM Readers: (We feel your pain...)

• "Dang! Kurz has the warriors first 5 of 7 shots so far!" (from myself)

• "If a loss to the 2 worst teams in the league doesnt cause a staff or roster change, we are forever screwed" (from "Thizz-a-lot)

• "Man, CJ again messing up the fast break" (from IQofaWarrior)

• "Well this is our typical 3rd quarter.... bad defense… Cj kills 3 fast breaks... we get outrebounded by a lot... we sit and watch plays instead of guarding someone... we don’t swing the ball... we go down by 10..." (by Shooter1525)

• "Hang in there Warrior fans..." (by Romesdavidwood37)

No doubt this was a tough loss. There were some positives but that negative production from our players overpowered some of the good stuff that came out of our squad. (Kurz over Randolf starting?!?) It isn't gonna be an easier task... come Monday, We take on The Jazz.

Wow, it's nice to hear that Kurz did well

It seems like it’s impossible for anyone on a Warriors roster to be totally worthless nowadays. Too bad this season is already over….

Its just kind of embarassing

to loose to OKC and Minnesota back to back. Kurz starts over AR, and AR gets 0 mins. This team is a complete debacle.

What is the status of our petitions to fire Robert Rowell and have Chris Cohan commit Hari Kiri, or at least sell the team?

we dont get moved from the bay

nellie's a loser

so these kinds of games will only keep occurring (until the last few weeks of the season when the games are meaningless, and nellie the fraud feeds the mindless masses more ‘hope’ for next year, thus keeping his job). ONLY his firing or death will improve the situation.

I Pose A Serious Question...

Will we ever see Jessica Alba at a warriors a game? (not including a clipper vs warriors game in LA)

by lowchi on Jan 3, 2009 1:09 AM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

heck

will we even get a hot girl or someone famous int here anymore? Mistah Fab don’t even go anymore :(

So I don't have a signature well these words would do! Who knew that upgrades can have downgrades too!

Why does Nelson insist on playing a garbage

undrafted rookie over a first round, lottery pick that has a very high ceiling?

Nelly has wet dreams about starting Monta at center.

because

he got his money already and does not care about winning anymore.

Randolph is perceived to have a high ceiling, but he’s presently sitting on the floor. Randolph is shooting an abysmal percentage from the floor and turning the ball over at an alarming rate.

hmmm who else does that sound like?.....

but no, im sure these past two games were all part of Nelsons play. I think its obvious; if we play AR we might lose…

Woohoo

One of my comments got mentioned on the recap!

Anyway, it seems that the only hope left for this team is Monta coming back. Perhaps he will be the one to spark some fire. The team we have right now looks tired, uncertain, and rhythmless. It could be the insane road schedule we have had so far. It could be the trade rumors are getting into everyone’s head. Most likely it’s just that our pieces don’t fit together well, so everyone’s out of rhythm, and as a result, we suck as a team.

to the laker game with a sign that says

RANDOLPH > Nellie

Warrior Wonder: Me for not giving up on the W’s completely, though I’m really, really tempted to

by heavyccasey on Jan 4, 2009 1:18 AM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

nellie's a loser

but don’t give up—just wait until march and april, when, after being totally eliminated from the playoffs, nellie-ball will win a bunch of meaningless games.
thus, all the mindless drones who blindly believe in the blackmailing, ego-tripping, overrated, scumbag that is don nelson, will have fresh hope for the 2009/10 season—which will be a 37-win season. congratulations, and what a coach that guy is.
