Stone Soldiers

I researched this after the game, and I wasn't sure about what I found, but MT found the same thing. In Keith Smart's interview, he mentioned that they called themselves Stone Soldiers. This is a reference to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Shi Huang Di, the First Emperor of China. These were life sized statues created and placed around the emperor's tomb to protect him in the afterlife.

In my research, I could not find any legends, stories, or myths about the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, only how they were created. So I'm not sure why the Keith Smart decided to call themselves Stone Soldiers. I presume that since these statues are supposed to protect someone in the afterlife, they themselves are "undead", like mythical mummies and skeletons. Thus, when you try to kill them, knock them down, etc., they keep coming back. So imagine if you had such an army coming at you that won't quit. That sounds a lot like what Smart described about the Warriors.


Stone Soldiers. Hey, this would make a nice Tony.psd poster concept, don't you think? Oh, Tony!.

Monta is even sounding like a leader Monta

When Ronny and Andris back we will be real good if we keep this up. I don’t really want to talk bout it but imagine next year when our young guys have another year under there belt? Monta by then will be ridiculous (hopefully…. most likely) Curry’s confidence will be sky high, Morrow will continue to become more complete, AR will become more mature as a player and more polished. Then we get Buike and Wright back as well. I smell the P word in our future.

Next year??

I don’t know about you guys, but I am very inspired after the last two wins.

With the team playing as they are now, and Beans, Ronny and CJ coming back soon, there is no reason to lose hope for this year. For the first time all season, I am convinced that this post-Jax team can hang with anyone.

I’m not saying we’re going to dominate for the rest of the season, but I see no reason to rule our Warriors out of the 8 seed just yet. Still early my friends!

You're right

Everything you said was true but I hate that we as fans always talk about ‘next year’. Eventually, it’s gonna have to turn around and be ‘this year’. Once Nellie’s out of here I think the beginning will start. He’s a Warriors legend but he’s not helping this team to grow. But since this is a Warriors blog, everyone who reads this probably already knows that.

Morrow’s play was definitely amazing tonight: 27 points on 9-16 shooting, plus 6-8 on triples, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals. Monta also had a great game, but he had a double-double in points and turnovers. That alone is enough to make me cringe a little…

But I hate to feel that coming into the next game tomorrow some of these guys will be a little weary. Ammo and Ellis have played all 96 minutes in the last two games, and Curry’s been logging heavy minutes as well. Here’s to hoping Maggette and CJ come back sooner rather than later.

I don’t care about Maggs he just probably try to take over when we are down specially on the last minute of the 4th then ending with a turnover. He is good in scoring but finishing the game not so much. I don’t see any clutch in his personality.

RadMan a poor man’s Harrington?!? Yea, in Al’s dreams. Radman looks to be a much better all-around defender and rebounder, and a better passer (that wierd backcourt pass behind Monta not withstanding). Most importantly, RadMan appears to understand what a good shot is, something that Al has never even considered.

Vladdy v. TMNT

They’re basically the same guy.

Radmanovic, career
.535 TS%
10.0 reb%
9.8 ast%
1.8 stl%
1.1 blk%
13.0 tov%

Harrington, career
.521 TS%
11.1 reb%
10.5 ast%
1.8 stl%
1.1 blk%
13.0 tov%

Both are 29 years old (Harrington is nine months older). Main difference seems to be that VladRad, perhaps thanks to Kobe, seems to be aware that he’s complementary role player and doesn’t act like an obnoxious whiny little diva who deserves star treatment.

Final verdict on the “blockbuster” Dunleavy/Murphy deal: garbage in, garbage out. I’m thrilled to be finally rid of all four of them.

The only guy in that trade who I wouldn’t mind on the Warriors, ignoring contracts, is Murphy. He always seemed like a good guy, is as productive as ever, would likely embrace a complementary role, and could probably teach young AR and BW a thing or two about the PF position…

Murph always had a great attitude and scored points and grabbed boards. If it wasnt for the injuries or contract, he would be great on the dubs.

Thanks. They actually have freakishly similar numbers, don’t they? Your point about the role-player vs. star/diva is critical and insightful. RadMan has taken a lot of heat for being a “space cadet” (Phil Jackson), but he seems like a fairly intelligent player.

Whoops! I misposted Vladrad’s steal and block numbers under Harrington. TMNT’s should be 1.6 steals and 0.7 blocks, a shade below Vlad’s (which maybe confirms your theory that he’s a better defender). They do actually have identical 13.0 career TOV%.

No, it’s actually nothing like that. Physically, Harrington and Vladrad look kinda different. Statistically, in terms of what they contribute on a basketball court, they’re very close. What exactly bugs you about this? (If you reply, please try to express yourself in the form of a coherent declarative sentence or two, rather than a misplaced analogy?)

Warriors were ahead when Curry was taken out in the first half after picked up hi second foul. With him out the team immediately started playing badly and fell behind until after Curry came back on the floor.

I had to choose Monta as the Warrior wonder, despite his TO’s and the fact that his +/- was lower than Curry’s. He plays so hard and carries the team, taking the pressure off of them. His defense is superior to Curry’s as well. I give him his props.

by samuraaaaiiiiiii on Nov 25, 2009 4:23 AM PST up reply actions  

I'm hella proud of our dubs tonight!

I was at the game tonight in my The City jersey reppin’ hard! We were able to stifle Dirk a bit at the beginning by having guys come over for some quick weak side assistance on the big German. Dirk did however make us pay once, late in the game, by swinging it to Barea when Dirk was doubled. Vlad was putting in effort on D. In my opinion, he appeared to be doing all that he could with his limited lateral mobility. He had active hands and continually gave Dirk different defensive looks, unlike Mikki Moore who is a liability on defense. Drew Gooden took Moore to school relentlessly early on. Yes, Mikki Moore is really is as thin as he appears on TV, the dude looked about as bulky as the hotdogs that the Mavs sell! At one point, I was contemplating breaking his leg and using his calf as a toothpick to get some crap out of my teeth. Aight, i can’t even hate on him, he is a hard worker, I just cringe every time he squares up for a jumper.

I was so proud of Monta’s relentless attacking of the painted area, as well as the effort on the defensive end collectively by all players. Randolph coming over to change shots was key factor for the dubs in pulling this one out. His ability to alter shots by the use of his length coupled with his athleticism will be crucial if the Warriors want to start making the D-word a consistant participant in their games.

I noticed that after Randolph got called for a foul, Vlad-Rad came over and whispered some pointers in his ear. Nice to see some veteran leadership by Vlad, hopefully AR will learn some intricacies about this league from the seasoned Radmanovic. He shouldn’t learn to outlet the ball to the Mavs bench tho…

I loved Curry’s confidence to continually make forays inside and finishing with tear-drop floaters and AR oops. The dude is raw as hell. Sure he gets his passes deflected too much, but I can live with that, considering all of the plays that he is able to successfully complete. He’s unselfish and he doesn’t try to do too much.

We were about to get screwed over when Anthony Randolph fired up a trash fadeaway with a second left on the shot clock, but i made sure to get the refs attention that it nicked the rim. Luckily, the refs got together and reversed the call and we got the ball back and were able to score. This turn of events was a pretty big deal. Instead of being down 7 without the ball, we were able to score and were then down only 5 at a critical stage in the third quarter.

Why didn’t Hunter see action? Are we saving him for tomorrow night?

Warriors fans were only about 8-10 deep in the arena tonight. At least, that’s how many people i was able to spot with any GSW gear. Thankfully, our team’s resilience and heart pulled us through for the tough win. Y’all can’t even understand how relieved I was when Curry hit the floater and three, followed by Monta’s icing bucket. I felt as if my sacrificing of my vocal chords had payed off. All of the people sitting around me that I had pissed off all night were forced to file out of the arena wondering why their boy, Dirk cannot overcome the reoccurring nightmare that shows up from time to time known as the Warriors.

Shout out to Monta for responding to our cries to “attack!”
Shout out to Curry for the sick court vision, and clutch play down the stretch. We have a Nash-esque passer on our side. Who knew?
Shout out to Jim Barnett – my dude
Shout out to Ammo for tossing me his stanky ass sweaty headband. I am honored to own an artifact that symbolizes ammos effort on his Tech receiving, 3-point wetting, stank-faced, career night.

All in all I am so happy that we finally have a team (so sad that Bell and Buike are out). How much of a cancer Jackson must have been. What a shame.

Raja Bell just got traded to Oaktown and immediately opted for surgery. Vladimir Radmonovic just got traded there, too, and rumor has it he also opted for surgery until Golden State doctors told him they weren’t going to fall for that ol’ trick because there is nothing wrong with him. And why didn’t all the other Warriors play? Well, I’m told a bunch of them are going to claim the same injury as Andris Biedrins, who is listed on the injury report as suffering from "Osteitis Pubis.’’ And I’m pretty sure it’s some sort of an inside hoops joke because I believe Osteitis Pubis used to play in the old ABA.

We finally shed that last night and saw a lot of good scrambling defense, fighting over screens, and intelligent helping which caused turnovers.

What I like best about this team is how purely exciting they were last night. Monta’s drives, AMMO’s shots with defenders in his face, Randolph’s windmill dunk, Curry’s floaters, and all the steals. I also like how Radman finishes with a dunk whenever he is in the paint. He uses his size the way a big man should when going to the hoop.

footnotes for Shi Huang-di a.k.a. Qin Shi Huang

considered the “first emperor” because he conquered rival kingdoms, unified the area under his Qin state, but also instituted reforms and standardization that were passed down to subsequent dynasties. Among the entertaining fictional film depictions of his life and times that are readily available with English subtitles/dubbing: “The Emperor’s Shadow”, “the Emperor and the Assasin” (dir. by Chen Kai-ge, one of the greatest in Chinese cinema), and two that are more fantasy-oriented, “Hero” w. Jet Li and “The Myth” with J.Chan. Chan portrays an archeologist, and he had access to the actual site of the terra cotta army excavation to use in his film, so the actual artifacts, modern extras depicting the soldiers of the time, and computer animation are all used to give the “stone warriors” a prominent place in the film.

Some of the smaller kingdoms that preceded the Qin empire used actual people, animals, usw. for funerary offerings/sacrifices, so the emperor’s megalomania had its progressive side in this aspect too—he could greatly expand the scope of this afterlife attendants at a lower cost.

And then there’s Curry…. Every time Curry left the floor the Warriors started losing and every time he came back the Warriors jumped ahead.
Curry and Monta both were turning the ball over in the first quarter, but one of them regained his composure and took care of the ball for the remainder of the game.

just to be accurate

In the first qtr, the one who regained his composure was Monta, who singlehandly kept the Warriors afloat with a series of scores. Curry did himself no favors by being tentative, telegraphing his passes, resulting in a lot of Mavs deflections, though many were tracked down by us. Curry was also on the floor in the 3rd qtr when the Mavs went on their 14-0 run.
