GAME THREAD #24: Warriors @ 76ers - Will the 76ers show the Warriors some brotherly love?

Golden State Warriors at Philadelphia 76ers, Dec 14, 2009 4:00 PM PST


Sog_monta_150_medium

(It's sweet to see Monta giving gifts out during the holidays, but lets hope he and the rest of the Warriors can give us fans the gift of a win tonight)

Warriors: 7-16

76ers: 5-18

Tip-Off: 4:00pm

Happy Monday Warriors nation. 

It's the beginning of a new (work) week.  It's the holidays.  The San Francisco 49ers are playing Monday Night Football. 

Not only do you have variety, but if the Warriors are sucking, you have options for other entertainment during the evening.  Unless the Niners are sucking, too, then, damn, we're out of luck.

The Warriors are at the end of their road trip and just in time.  They're facing the Philadelphia 76ers, who struggling equally.  But crappy teams, sans the New Jersey Nets, seemed to find a way to break out of their funk.  Will the Allen Iverson versus Monta Ellis showdown tonight be like watching mirror images battling each otherDerrick Rose seems to think so. 

Who will come out on top? Click for some predictions.

Star-divide

The Warriors are severely undermanned and under-talented.  The 76ers, on the other hand, are somewhat more talented on paper, but with some mismatching parts.  Which is the bigger problem though?  The Warriors lack of depth looks like its become a bigger impediment than ever, especially as it forces Monta to dominate the ball leading to unforced turnovers. 

Allen Iverson has been pretty average since rejoining his former squad, but I can guarantee that he will temporarily break out of his funk for one night to show us some of this:


Predictions:

  • Warriors by -7
  • Monta Ellis has 34, but also 9 turnovers.
  • Stephen Curry has 15 points and 7 assists
  • Elton Brand plays like he's in his twenties again: 28 points, 19 rebounds, and 4 blocks
  • Allen Iverson gets tripped up for the 3rd game in a row, this time by Monta on a crossover.

(Monta Ellis this time around?)

What are your predictions for tonight's game?

Warriors have more wins than the Sixers? That’s surprising for some reason.

It's hard to predict any WIN this year

Even if it is the Sixers. Hopefully Beans & Turiaf come back soon so we can start to really gauge where we’re at. But even then, we still wouldn’t be fully healthy with Buike & Wright gone for the season. Come to think of it, with all that said, as a Warrior fan everything is pretty normal right about now.

I'm not sure what to predict for this game

I’m worried that at some point, the players will give up after all these frustratingly close losses. Perhaps the players are holding out hope that the return of Biedrins and Turiaf will make them better. In any case, I’m going to go cynical and say the 76ers will break their 12 game losing streak on us.

On another blog, I posted a comparison of Iverson’s career stats to Monta’s ‘09-’10 stats, per 36 minutes. (Not trying to troll for hits; I just can’t get the damn formatting to work over here. I’ll list the most salient points below.)

The conclusion: the Iverson/Monta comparison is extremely troubling if you’re a Warriors fan. Monta is playing like Iverson has over the course of his long career, with three major exceptions:

- Iverson passes much better (5.4 AST/3.1 TO to Monta’s 4.5 AST/3.8 TO)
- Iverson scores more points (23.5 to 21.7) with roughly equal efficiency (.518 TS% to .521)
- Iverson’s defensive numbers are better (105 Def Eff, to Monta’s 109)

Iverson has long been an overrated player… only in his best seasons has he surely been even one of the 20 best players in the league. And we’re not even comparing Monta to Iverson’s best seasons; we’re just comparing him to Iverson’s average performance, weak seasons and all. Monta still comes up far short. In fact, even at his brickiest, most turnovery worst, Iverson never had a season as ineffective as the one Monta’s currently having.

Moral of the story? Monta Ellis is not very good at being Allen Iverson. Let’s hope he reverts to being Monta Ellis.

comparison that we Dubs fans should find deeply troubling. Iverson was never quite as good as his reputation; by BBR’s Win Shares, he was never better than the tenth-best player in the league, and only one of the league’s twenty best players four times… very good, but thanks to his misses and turnovers, rarely great. And yet he rates much better than the current SuperMonta, passing much better, scoring more often and just as efficiently (a career .518 TS% to Monta’s current .521), and sporting better defensive peripherals (not shown here). And remember, we’re comparing Monta to Iverson’s average season… his best years are obviously better than this. In every year of his career, including last year, Iverson rated as more effective than Monta does this year. Iverson did enough good things to make up for all his misses and turnovers. Monta currently doesn’t, and that’s one of the biggest reasons we’re so bad so far.

Simply put, Monta Ellis is not very good at being Allen Iverson. Let’s hope he reverts to being Monta Ellis.

PER 36 and Def Eff. is a stat for PER lovers

Monta isn’t really as turnover prone as people make him out to be. He’s not even in top 10 of PG’s in TOR.
+Are you really arguing that Iverson is a better defender? Pretty much stopped reading there.

by onlxn on Dec 14, 2009 4:18 PM PST up reply actions  

Interesting

I’m guessing the main reasons are:

1) Both players need the ball in their hands to be successful.
2) Neither player is great at staying in front of quick guards and certainly cannot guard larger, stronger guards.
3) Neither player ever played with an elite big man (Dikembe Mutombo is borderline).

I have a feeling Morrow finds his stroke and confidence this game.

Ideally I would love to see the 2 Anthonys, Curry, and Maggette all score 20+ tonight. I would also like Monta to be the reason for all their scoring. If Monta could get around 12 assists tonight, or dare I say around 18, and the above mentioned scorers find their offense, we could be poised to string together a bunch of impressive victories. We play the Spurs, Celtics, Suns, and Lakers all coming up. These games luckily are not in a row, nor do I expect us to win them all, but if we could somehow win 2 or 3 of those games mixed in with solid wins over other teams, we could get to .500 by the middle of January.

Back to reality, Morrow is gonna find his stroke tonight, which should give Monta another 2-5 assists. I don’t see anyone else finding there’s unfortunately. I just hope we see AR with Hunter for at least 15 miutes. CJ comes thru with solid offense again, Warriors make me happy and pull off the W by 8+ points.

bob was using one-line comparisons of iverson and monta as being similar players. Bob then called AI a 10-time all star. I immediately thought that the next line Bob will say is “Monta, ZERO time all star”.

I really dislike when Fitzgerald says the opponent has made everything like we are helpless and it just wasn’t our night. They are shooting 52%. That’s not everything. Stop blaming it on being unlucky, blame it on us not being good enough, or something closer resembling the truth. Because according to Fitzgerald, almost every time we are losing, it is because the opponents are having the night of their lives. The common denominator is us though.

Curry should be left on the bench for the remainder of the game

Since Smart started playing CJ most of the game, the Warriors have been losing.

God, this is going to be a tough decision, Niners versus Warriors. Warriors are fighting back just enough that they could make it interesting. They are not leading, so they probably won’t have the third quarter collapse mentality. I predict they fight back and then collapse in the fourth because they can’t close. So maybe I should just watch the Niners, unless it gets out of hand.

Take out Monta’s shooting, and no one is really having a bad game shooting. But then again Iguodala is having a bad shooting game too. So, it balances out to them having a much better supporting cast than us (at least in our current state).

by IQofaWarrior on Dec 14, 2009 5:23 PM PST reply actions  

I hate how Nelson/Smart ride their main guy regardless of how horrible they're doing. That's how you get coached out of games.

Last season they did it with Jack, tonight its Monta. Monta hasn’t been doing anything. Morrow looked like he found his stroke. But they took him out for Maggette. Monta can’t get it going, he’s hurting our play, so why play him? Morrow should have played half of Monta’s minutes.

Also, Mikki and AR have been our best players, why not play them together? Just because you plan your rotations before the game doesn’t mean you should stick to them, adjusting your pregame planning in accordance with the players that are performing is how you coach.

I’m just sick of Nellie and Keith using our lack of talent as a reason not to coach. “We don’t have the players to be good at defending and rebounding, so why try?” That’s a horrible attitude. I’m just glad Keith looks like he wants to coach, its too bad he can’t.

I wish Rick Barry and Nate Thurmond would coach us. They were both better players than Nellie, I’m not sure anyone understands the game better than Barry. Plus Nate could show our big men how to be successful with a lack of size by being smart players. If we want our players to fulfil their potential, we need new coaches.

Rusty Simmons

Anthony Morrow is 2-for-3 for five points, showing signs that he’s breaking out of a 6-for-25 road slump. When asked about Morrow’s shooting woes before the game, Vladimir Radmanovic said, “Maybe he’s sitting next to me too much.” Radmanovic made only 11 of 40 shots during the first four games of the trip.

If Randolph is having a bad game, I could understand keeping him out. But he almost singlehandedly brought the Warriors back to close to being in it this game, which is something. I don’t understand what he has to do. It’s like they are saving him or something. I don’t see the long term benefit of punishing him with no playing time even when he is playing well. Save that for the games he is not playing well if you want to employ that strategy. Taking him out when he plays bad should motivate him. Taking him out when he plays at all should tell him there is nothing he can do.

that's because

Smart refuses to play Hunter and Randolph. Heck Randolph’s presence in the first half got the Warriors going, but where was he to start the second half? On the bench! Hmmmmm! yes you can blame Smart!

are rookies usually this terrible on offense?

then again, by shooting, wouldn’t he throw off the defense…since he’s streaky.

Curry’s actually shooting pretty OK, overall — he has a better TS% than Jennings or Flynn, and much better than Teague or Holiday…

by Shells on Dec 14, 2009 6:38 PM PST up reply actions  

double team on ellis

and/or clogging the paint so he can’t drive at will should have been anticipated weeks ago, with counter measures developed. There are several obstacles to developing the counters, one of which is Ellis’ limited capacity to anticipate and envision both how the defense is sagging on him, and where his ‘mates are moving—he often just expects/demands they clear space for him to dribble. He has yet to develop consistent and smoothly functioning screen and rolls with the 4/5’s, which would force the defenses to alter their schemes. [and that means a slow re-adjustment when Biedrins and Turiaf are able to resume]. The other retardants to moving the ball away from the double teams and congestion are the limited passing/handling ability of both M’gette and Morrow, who put in the most minutes at the 3, and the under-utilization of Randolph. In sum, the offensive woes combine the weaknesses of Ellis, depending on him as the main guy, deficiencies in his “support”(another reliable scorer other than the unbalanced M’gette is sorely needed), and lapses of initiative on the part of the coaching staff.
