PrintGolden State Warriors at Chicago Bulls, Dec 11, 2009 5:00 PM PST
via www.zacharys.com
This is about all I know about Chicago. Damn good pizza.
Warriors: 7-14
Bulls: 7-13
Tip-Off: 5:00pm
TV: CSN Bay Area
Radio: KNBR 680
Blog Buddy: Blog a Bull
What's wrong in Chicago? I don't really know and I don't really care, but I certainly hope they don't figure it out until Saturday. This is a game the Warriors shouldn't lose even if they're playing on the road. in fact, this road trip isn't looking too bad. The Warriors get to face 2 teams with worse records (Nets and Sixers), one team with a near identical record (Bulls), and another with a slightly better record (Pistons). But in the grand scheme of the NBA, this game means absolutely nothing to anyone else other than Warriors fans and Bulls fans. It's like a Kings-Raptors game in the middle of the season, nobody cares. It's all about jockeying for lottery position.
It cannot be understated how bad the Bulls are right now. They've lost 9 out of 10, 7 of those losses were by 14 or more. Heck, they lost to the Nets! That should count for 3 losses. I feel a coaching change coming on. When your team gets blown out so many times in a row and you don't have too many injuries, the players have quit on you.
Betcha didn't expect that after hitting the jump. That one always makes me laugh.
The Warriors are still banged up. Andris Biedrins' osteitis pubis is not healing as soon as we thought it would. Ronny Turiaf's less fun injury name, sprained left knee, isn't healing very quickly either. I'm starting to question Tommy Abdenour's abilities. That's right! Tommy Abdenour, not Cohan, Nellie, Rowell, Monta is the reason for the current state of the Warriors. How long has he been with the Warriors? How many times have we made the playoffs? Why is it that we have so many injuries this year and last year and guys take so long to recover? Raja Bell didn't get surgery while with the Bobcats, but as soon as he comes here, boom, surgery. Someone should be held accountable! I think Tommy is the final scapegoat unless we're going to blame the cheerleaders, waterboys, and entertainment. This has nothing to do with tonight's game except that I'm still waiting for our "franchise" center and best backup (dancer) to play again before 2010 hits. How much better would the Warriors be if they replaced MIKEY with ^^^^?
Back to the game:
- For the game, I'm looking forward to seeing Monta check Derrick Rose. Monta's defensive effort has really improved so I'm interested to see how he handles Rose who's bigger and stronger than Monta.
- Joakim Noah has been playing quite nicely. He's averaging a double double with nearly 2 blocks per game. I don't like him much, but I'll give him his props.
- When will Anthony Randolph start over MIKEY? Last year when Beans got hurt, Randolph stepped up and played well. He hustled and worked his tail off. This year, I don't feel like he's playing with that same fire. He's turned it around recently ever since he came back from injury, but I'm still waiting for him to be more than a backup.
- It seems so long ago that Corey Maggette played so well in Boston. He's reverted back to the old Corey. Moreover, he's reverted back to the same Corey Maggette we've seen his entire tenure with the Warriors. He's not playing any better or worse than he was last year, it's just that Warrior fans are getting tired of his game. For me, it's not so much that he takes jumpers, it's that he's a black hole and he plays with 0 defensive intensity. It should be Corey MEgette.
Predictions
- Bulls gain more ping pong balls, Warriors win by 8
- Monta with more turnovers than assists, but also drops 32.
- Mr. GSOM Night 8's shot is not affected by the wind in the Windy City, 6 three balls.
- Anthony Randolph looks like he's been holding back tears for years now. No longer. He finally cries after having to look at Joakim Noah.
- Noah grabs 15 boards.

Weirdness with the game thread
I have no idea what happened with the game thread prior to this one. It was an old version that somehow didn’t let this one post.

Midwesterners
would be very disappointed by your usage of Zachary’s as representative of Chicago’s pride and joy. “It’s too healthy” a former Minnesotan told me about Zachary’s… HA!
Haha I know. I have never been to Chicago though I do eventually want to go there. Next to watching Ferris Bueller’s Day off, Zachary’s is as close as I get.

Let's hope Morrow plays better
He had a horrid game at the nets. We need his scoring.
As for AR starting – this is deliberate to keep him out of foul trouble early on. Plus once beans comes back in a couple (lets hope!) I hope AR goes back to starting at the 4 with radman backing him up.
This is another game we "should" win
and I would expect Monta to get more assists and look for others, especially since MT2 says Monta looked tired and worn out yesterday. Not to mention we have a back to back tomorrow, so it’s REALLY important for Monta to find his teammates.
Somebody PLEASE dunk on Noah tonight...
I really want somebody to give Noah a facial tonight…I dont know why but that guy really bothers me when he’s on the court. Maybe its the pony tail or the flopping like Vlade Divac in his prime I dont know. I really would like to see somebody on the Warriors dunk on him Baron Davis over AK47 style…LOL
God Willing...
Could be his cockiness "act"
The same thing that had his teammates giving him a time out he carries into the game. To me he’s putting on an act, trying to act all “ghetto” when he isn’t. Weather that’s true or not I don’t know it’s just my perception.

Game Predictions
- The Chicago Bulls defeat our Golden State Warriors, 106-105.
- Monta Ellis leads the way with 29 points and has more assists than turnovers.
- Vladimir Radmanovic collects more rebounds than Joakim Noah.
- Luol Deng has a big game for the opposition.
- Because we’re playing the Bulls, there will be at least one Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen reference by our very own Bob and Jim.

At Anthony randolph crying…anyways we really should win this game, they don’t have a good scoring big man that will kill mikki Moore and they play crappy defense. The only guy on their team that is even legit is rose and he can’t single handidly win the game for them. I wish I could look at the starting lineup tonight and see this:curry,Ellis,morrow,randolph,and hunter but I know I’m gonna have to see the dreadful “Moore” in the lineup(I don’t care if he had 16 last game either). But anyways If we were at home i’d say we win by 20 but since were on the road I say we win by 5-10. LGW

You do have to wonder about Abdenour at some point.
This is a good test: the Bulls are struggling, but they are at home, and not so untalented that they can’t outlast a team that plays stupidly. Smart, Monta et al will need to make good decisions to win tonight.
Ladies and gentlemen, your Golden State Worriers.
Accuscore fun
We have a 41% chance of winning this game. Has anyone ever checked Accuscore’s accuracy on predicting games?
No idea on the accuracy overall
But that sounds right for this game. The Bulls are good at home (5-3) and we’re bad on the road (3-9). Advantage Bulls if both teams play ‘normally’.
@worldblee on Twitter.
Not very accurate on picking games
At least for baseball when I tracked 784 games they predicted last year. I think they are much more useful for predicting short term stats for live betting. Such as: Lebron James scored 84 points in 3 quarters, what are the odds he will get over 100 for the game? Stuff like that.

Chicago Pizza
Lou Malnati’s pizza pie is what Mikki and co. will go out and get to celebrate their win over the Bulls tonight. I’d like to see Joachim Noah get posterized, I’d like to see Mikki waving a towel from the bench, I’d like to see Monta really take care of business with Rose, and I’d like to see Randolph keep working in the direction he’s been going in. Hopefully the ballsharing will continue for us…. I also predict a very good game from C Maggs. He’s from Chicago, remember… I think his game tonight might make some of us stop booing…
Can't tell me NOTHIN'.
Noah
I’m sure there are some out there who still think the J-Rich trade was a good one. But regardless of how you feel about the trade itself, the Warriors decision to have Charlotte draft Brandan Wright instead of Noah was insult to injury (or in this case, injury to insult). This decision made little sense then and in hindsight appears to be a major disaster. Even with Biedrins and Turiaf, this team could use the rebounding, shot-blocking, size, and tenacity of a player like Noah. No matter how you feel about him personally, his attributes would have been a perfect fit on this Warriors team. Warriors management got so excited about the ability to drop Richardson’s contract and were seduced by Wright’s “potential” that they failed to do their due diligence and draft the right player, not the Wright player.

-Monta Ellis will be absolutely mediocre tonight with 20 and 6.
-Derrick Rose bounces back and blocks Cj Watson
-Anthony Randolph learns to be consistent,puts up average stats.
-Keith Smart goes nuts and gets ejected.
-Our Golden State Warriors wins by 5 thanks to Morrow’s 4 bounce back treys.

Unfortunately I'm at work and can't watch the game
But who is guarding Rose? and how effective a job are they doing?
Pretty good half
Not much defense to be seen, and our half court offense is not much to speak of, but good hustle for the most part. Doing a good job on limiting turnovers and exploiting those of Chicago. Maggette is playing great. Good boards by him.
@worldblee on Twitter.
Randolph
is really really good -when he does basic things well -rebounds blocks and no bad shots taken -under control hustle

His good shooting percentage comes from driving and making close shots. When he’s fouled, it doesn’t count as a miss.
He’s something like a 36% jumpshooter. That’s a decent percentage for three, but it’s unacceptable for long twos.

when he misses it becomes a higher percentage shot for the other team because he doesnt hustle bad b/c he is complaining to the ref or it is a jumper miss which turns into a fast break…

he makes bad jumpers. we lost the game because, well, we were unlucky.
either team could’ve won it.
if you want, i could make a list of what i don’t like about the players , so you could stop being annoyed, irritated, unhappy about us “picking on corey”
Seriously
who’s blaming Corey?
Are you serious right now? Look in any damn game thread and it’s like Maggette is a rapist murderer.

if you reread what they wrote
they don’t appear to dislike him, just that he takes some terrible jumpers. (the warriors can so do without)
and it’s not part of his game.

Maggette is 60%+ from close range and is about 36% from range, and 20% from beyond the arc.
If he took less jumpers, he would be a more efficient player.

Based on statistics, you’re wrong.
Not counting this game. Maggette’s shooting 36.3% from 15-ft up to just under the 3 pt line. (20-55).
Monta is actually shooting worse from that range at 33.6% (46-137).
Randolph is even worse at 28.3% (13-46).

took me awhile to do the math.
Monta last 5 yrs (in other words, for his career) has shot long 2’s at a 39.5% clip (396-1002).
Maggette last 5 yrs has shot long 2’s at a 39.8% (386-971).
so how is he a FARRRRR better at jumpers?

and yet he has shot almost as many as Maggette and at a worse %.
i’m not a Maggette fan either, but before tonight his TS% is .578 this year. Monta’s is .519 and AR’s is .513.
if you’re going to bitch about Maggette’s long 2 point jumpers, don’t be a hypocrite and point that finger solely at him.
by homer simpson on Dec 11, 2009 8:37 PM PST up reply actions
Randolph is still figuring things out.
Monta is usually a better jump shooter.
Maggette is a man who made his career getting to the foul line, so we expect him to do that.

He is finding a spot near the top of the key, but all the defender has to do is take away that spot. AR has difficulty creatng his shot.

I'm just sick of this no Defense and no Rebounding team we've had for the past decade
The last time when we played with defense and rebounding was with Al Attles and we went to the WCF 3 times and won the whole thing once.

you don't think it lack of ball movement?
i swear in the 4th, they would bring the ball up, one pass, shot. odd that Corey was the receiver. from the corner too.that’s CJ’s place!
Ball Movement is a problem
But the Defense and Rebounding are the biggest problems and Nelson and Co. play a huge part in that. I have never believed in small ball and I will never believe in it until its a league wide staple.

let's say that even with our starting lineup, can we rebound?
with Moore? for some reason, Moore doesn’t rebound well. Actually, it’s because he’s out setting screens…
I forgot to mention the injuries.
And AR starting. With Biedrins/AR in we definitely will close that huge, league worst disparity in rebounding. It also allows us to clog the defensive paint.
But even with AR healthy, he doesn’t get minutes due to him shooting himself in the foot and the silly coaching.

Also, start of OT, Moore concedes the tipoff!?
That is reason alone to have Randolph in there to start the OT period. You are willing to automatically concede the first possession in order to play Moore? That is completely irrational.

Yeah, if we play Chris Hunter in our rotation
We can actually play 2 Gs, 2 Fs, and a center all the time. If we wanted to. Instead, we try the small ball every time. Small ball is great when it gives us an advantage, but when you get killed on the boards, it hurts you. It’s not Maggette, it’s not AR not playing enough—we play too small and have no halfcourt offense. When games are close, we fold.

is that injury serious? by serious I mean will it affect his vertical?
I'm not doctor either...
but the kneecap has nothing to do with his vertical,sure it might slow him down a little bit but it’s not like he can’t jump anymore.
I’m certain that it won’t affect him at all,though.
