PrintHouston Rockets at Golden State Warriors, Dec 3, 2009 7:30 PM PST
Warriors: 6-11
Rockets: 10-8
Tip-Off: 7:30pm
TV: CSN Bay Area
Radio: KNBR 680

Okay, shake it off. That last game against the Nuggets can be easily forgotten, time to move on.
The last time the Rockets came to Oakland, they won on opening night (GSOM Night 7) with their superstar-less roster. They shot 46% from 3 and had 14 steals. Will this time be different?
The Warriors have a few things going for them this time:
- The Rockets have one of the toughest back to backs in the league - Clippers on Wednesday, Warriors on Thursday. Talk about a house of horrors. Just kidding. Both teams aren't so great, but at least they're not this team. Ouch. 0-18.
- No Stephen Jackson.
- Monta Ellis is playing the best ball of his career. I had questioned whether we'd ever see the old Monta after his accident and less than stellar play earlier this year, but I think he's made quite the statement recently. Honestly, I'm more impressed with his defensive effort every game more so than the offense.
- Chuck Hayes is an excellent defender, but he really has nobody to defend down low on the Warriors. That's how you neutralize a great defender!
- Hopefully some of Ron Artest's halftime beverage habits from his Chicago Bulls days transferred to some Rockets players (for this game only of course).
- It's Hardwood Classics night! The Warriors always play well when they break out the alternate jerseys. Nothing like putting San Francisco or The City across your chest to make you play better.
Questions
- Will someone contain Aaron Brooks? He had 12 assists the last time these two teams met. If Monta's guarding Brooks, who's guarding Battier and Ariza?
- The Rockets love to shoot the 3 - 4th most attempts per game in the league. If they get hot like they did on opening night, this game will be tough. Someone has to close out and get a hand up to make it tough to shoot those 3's. Ariza, Battier, Brooks and Budinger will bomb away. Watch the Rockets ball rotation as well. They'll whip it around the perimeter for open 3's. Can the Warriors keep the Rockets from getting hot outside?
- Inside, Scola knows how to score in all sorts of different ways. Will anyone be able to keep him under control?
Predictions
- Warriors win by Monta (8)
- Monta scores Monta x 4
- Anthony Randolph falls on the floor 5+ times
- The Warriors help Scola and Landry look like the next great twin towers
- Anthony Morrow for 3,3,3,3,3

I wonder who Monta will be guarding tonight?
Brooks or Ariza? Whoever he’s NOT guarding will be the Warrior killer tonight. Pick you poison…
WARRIORS BASKETBALL!!! Patiently waiting for a title...I may be waiting for a long time...
strange jerseys
Don’t know if others have this response but its as if I hate them and love them at the same time. Kind of like a lot of throwback seventies clothes – bell bottoms, for example.
The shorts are WAY too long for 1970s unis.
If you want real throwbacks, you gotta do the Stockton Special.
Agree
Like I said in another post it’s like that dog that’s sooooo effing ugly and pitiful looking that girls find them irresistibly cute.

answers to questions above
1. Steph Curry – your assignment is to lock up brooks! even though you’ve had some so-so games of late, use defense to get you back into the right frame of mind and the offense will follow. as for ariza and battier we may need to throw radman’s, morrow’s, and magg’s six fouls each at them to slow them down.
2. They whip it around the perimeter? perfect scenario for curry, monta,and cj to get some steals then! Dubs suck at closing out on threes, so they need to focus more on making their own threes and getting back on offense
3. Scola solution – trade him to the warriors between now and gametime!
Hmmm
Chris Hunter vs Scola
Moore vs Landry
Curry vs Brooks
Monta vs Ariza
Maggettee vs Battier
CHOOSE YOUR WINNA!
Curry’s gonna get burned by Brooks…

Ball Movement
If we can move the ball around consistently then we should have a few warriors wonders to choose from.
I'm getting a Slurpie
If the Warriors get to 7-11 (record) tonight – I can’t wait!!

I’m gonna do the same.
But I might just get an ICEE from GEMCO since it’s throwback night.

Yeah, most of the old GEMCO stores were reopened as Target stores. I hadn’t thought about BEST in a while either. How about Service Merchandise? Nothing like walking into a store picking something out of a catalog and waiting for it to come down a conveyor belt.

Is Anthony Randolph playing tonight?
I would hope he rests his ankle for at least a week. Even 2.
Good prediction for Morrow…fant junkie.
I’m going to go with 3,3,3,3,3,3,3. lucky number 7. I think he sets it off on fire tonight since he got enough rest and good eats.

Tonight's Warrior wonder
How could you leave CJ off the tally? He completely changed the momentum in the Pacers game and set the stage for the big comeback.
I say foul the hell otu of brooks
Curry and CJ should play a really tough defensive scheme against brooks and just wear him down physically. They have 12 fouls to use up and they should use all of them.
He cant be pushed around all nght and make passes and then play defense
Monta can try to guard Ariza, and we can use up all our big man fouls on Scola if he gets hot.
Make Brooks a VICTIM
Trade for Matt Barnes and let him throw Brooks into the stands.

I’m weirded out by the players’ heights in that photo.
If Monta is legitimately 6-3 (and I think he is — he looked a hair taller than BD when they played together) then Curry looks about 6-4, Morrow looks 6-8, and Randolph looks 7-1. Is that image ’shopped, or have the two Anthonys been taking growth hormones?…
There will be no extra point!
I believe
this was the original.
Monta and Morrow must have had solo shoots
This is Kristin Kreuk, now zip it. - GTTM
just heard on KTVU that nellie is out again for this game.
still a little woozy they said.
smart lovers rejoice?
That wouldn't be surprising
I read that he gets dizzy if he stands up too fast. Also, he might not make the 5 game road trip if he can’t handle these next 2 home games.
I feel bad for smart
When we saw him coach last year at times he went with regular lineups but hes stuck with nellies lineup with moore
Rookie: "Why did you bench me?"
Nellie: "You're a rookie"
can you really blame nellie for forcing smart to start that lineup?
it’s not like nellie had a choice when starting those guys, nor does smart have a choice now.
Carl Landry
Is gonna have the game of his life tonight
Not if we
just send him to the free throw line!

Monta looks like he’s lacking in energy, though he has 10 points on 5-for-9 shooting. Rockets 39, Warriors 34, 8:36 left in second
I think he’s deflated a bit. He wants more help and doesn’t like the Rockets tough defense.
Welcome to the Pit of Despair! Don't even think about trying to escape.
Hunter doesn’t look like a good finisher around the basket so far
Welcome to the Pit of Despair! Don't even think about trying to escape.
not yet
but then, the rockets are pretty physical themselves, can easily mess up hunter if he’s not used to it
If the warriors arent going to get defensive rebound...
we have to punish them on the break off their turnovers and off made baskets. It will make the rockets be forced to get backed instead of swarming the glass

im past tht
but its true… the moment we went back to the dubs of old ppl wrote us off including refs
Rookie: "Why did you bench me?"
Nellie: "You're a rookie"
it was the right play to make
battier just fell down
Actually the first one should have been a no call
or a blocking foul because if Ellis had shot the ball he had already had the ball out of his hand therefore a blocking foul and the second one Battier was clearly moving therefore it should have been two blocking fouls.
Of course this is because David Stern likes incompetent officials! At least the replacement officials would have made the correct calls!
come on though, 7 turnovers
he looks off. he said before the game he was feeling sick. and he doesn’t get one minute of rest in the first half?

Look at what school he came from! Duke! There’s no question that Battier knows how to flop.
I think Ariza is having his best shooting night % of the season. Or, at least since last time he played the Warriors.
He is only shooting 38% FG for the season.
If Bochy coached the Warriors Bengie Molina would start every game at PG.
He needs at least one more great offensive player to complement him. He’s not a do-it-himself type guy.
Welcome to the Pit of Despair! Don't even think about trying to escape.

The thing is
What do you do with that call? It’s bad to have it, its worse to take it away. If you don’t have the “Charge off pass” call then you get guys going down the lane like offensive tackles, taking out a defender right after a pass. This, at best, would change the game for the worse. Worst, it would lead to a ton of injuries.

Hmmm. The only negative +/- on our team right now?
Moore and Maggette.
Anthony Morrow — possibly the best shooter who ever lived, anywhere in the world.
And … undrafted.
There will be no extra point!
Probably on any other team where you need to be at least mediocre on D Morrow would not have seen the minutes he needs to show off his shooting. His D has gotten better this season but it still sucks.
by Badly Browned on Dec 3, 2009 9:15 PM PST up reply actions
Yeah that still amazes me. I guess the only explanation is that the scouting report on him was that he was just a shooter, but didn’t accurately gauge just how good a shooter he is.

that's what i heard too
that people thought he was a stand still shooter and nothing else, which I think was true back then
Yeah, you really have to give him credit. His college coach wasn’t kidding when he said he was a gym rat. We all heard about how Randolph was working out during the summer, but I think it was Morrow who came out with the positive results.

I end up guarding 6’3 players because I am short…. But the funny thing is… I dont BACK DOWN!!! Not like the warriors…. I use my BRAIN and move my FEET on defense. I know i cannot rebound over them so i BOX OUT… i mean really???? all i am asking for is a conscious effort… the rockets are not a good offensive team, but they play hard unlike the warriors, and use their HEADS…
Or give him another big to play alongside
And don’t try to make him create offense 1-on-1 every time. That’s not his game, and Nellie should know that.

Ok so we play extra small
and the lead is gone.
Coincidence?
its not mags fault
its stupid nellie playing him @ center… seriously.. is it so hard to play with 1 big?
radman big inside rebound
morrow with a clutch 2
I want Landry and/or Battier

played too many small guys, played Monta too many minutes, and didn’t go with what worked for us—Hunter and Radmanovic were working. It’s like we’re subbing Monta for Sjax—putting too much on his shoulders and depending on 1-on-1 plays too much. We have to pass to win. And have a team capable of playing defense out there.
When the Rockets went on a run, Nellie made no adjustments. We’ve seen this too often. It doesn’t work.

How the F*bleep*K does Morrow only get 13 shot attempts in the game?? Am I going insane?
Man. One thing I have realized so far, is that Curry is T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E
I would much rather have Johnny Flynn or Jordon Hill… They grind and give it all they can… With Curry on the floor its like playing with 4 players on defense… He cant handle the ball, too small to rebound, and is slow as molasses, and telegraphs his passes. He is the biggest piece of crap, that I have ever seen “labeled talent”. Budinger was drafted wayyy after curry and is making an impact..Why? Becuase he plays HARD. Why are Flynn and Evans doing well? Because they play HARD. I would much rather see Curry go to the Bobcats than Law. At least Law attacks and play defense. Curry came as a shooter, and guess what??? He is one of their worst shooters!!! Why even draft a 2 guard when you already have one!!!!! (Monta)… Pure ridiculous…

He’s not a godo teammate he has maturity issues and let’s not forget he would not fit in nelson’s system anyways. Lastly, after his rookie contract expires there’s no chance of resigning Jennings anyways because all he cares about is money not winning.
how do you know this?
from reading an online blog somewhere?you take the best player available and he was

Rookie: "Why did you bench me?"
Nellie: "You're a rookie"
I don't see all your games, obviously
Curry looks like a very good rookie to me, with Rookie being underscored. Unfortunately, he’s on the wrong damn team.
He needs to be the guy coming off picks on a big tough defensive team. He needs a little help against bigger guys on D. This isn’t the worst sin – so do a lot of guys. But since you basically already HAVE his game two or three times over, I don’t get it.
He’d make a great Bobcat, for example, or would do very well on the Magic, Cavs, Spurs, or Mavericks.
nellie
I usually don’t hate on nellie but I’m sorry… the isolation plays for this team dont work because we have no1 that can draw a double team. The isolation play to maggette is by far the worst play in the play book. AND WHERE THE F&^$k WAS HUNTER IN THE 4TH QUARTER? guy was huge in the 4rd on the boards and on D but no, Don never plays him. f$$k this S%$it

curry? maggs? dont say morrowcause nellie thinks 13 is enough

Nellie: "You're a rookie"
This sort of thing happens often against the Rockets.
Its actually part of the plan – give a guy who is a high volume shooter a lot of not so good looks. Usually it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
What I am saying,
Is that Curry is not a first round pick… He does not show the desire or passion or hustle that the other top 10 drafts picks are displaying… Jennings, Evans, and Flynn have already come into leadership roles… Thats what you want from a top pick…
Stephen Curry
Is that Curry is not a first round pick

Flynn hasn't taken over the leadership role....
And K-Mart is out so Evans is forced to carry most of the offensive load. Not all rookies come into the league as superstars. Give it time.

I understand that it was a stupid move at the end of the game....
But we’re missing players that would’ve came in handy down the stretch. Its hard to stay consistent when your logging heavy minutes night in and night out. Fatigue will set in at some point.

were winning by like 12 i think. better team didnt win. worser team lost it

Yeah, we probably just wasted the best game Radman is going to have.
by samuraaaaiiiiiii on Dec 3, 2009 10:17 PM PST up reply actions
Rad didn't take a shot in the second half...
It boggles my mind, because he was so hot in the first half.
Why don't we give Morrow 30 shot attempts per game?
We’d win every game.
We’d win more, almost certainly.
That last play call, given how gassed Monta was and how poorly he was playing, was just inexcusable. Even if he didn’t travel, absolutely no good could have come of it.
Just go away, Nellie.
There will be no extra point!
by Sleepy Freud on Dec 3, 2009 10:21 PM PST up reply actions
listening to St Jean's analysis
that last play could be the result of CJ’s inexperience in final play inbounding. I believe Nellie said the final play was supposed to go to Radman. St Jean said Radam could have tried to shoot over his smaller defender that way, or kick it back to the inbounder, CJ.

I thought I was turning the corner
Till this game…
Once again he displayed poor ball security, had a poor shot selection, and add another tally to his anti-clutch games.

THe Rockets defense rattled him.

Either way
The ball should never have gone to him. There were 3 other guys (IIRC) on the court who are more accomplished 3 point shooters.

you can't blame him (although I have...i think i'm over it)
for he has stomach pain. Problems? whatever. Nellie is playing him too much. Plus, it’s Nellie that doesn’t recognize that Monta is terrible at clutch. Then again, I’m not sure if Curry is any better.
Curry has had fairly solid clutch play, like the Mavs game.
I would have rather had that ball go to Morrow.
by Reverend_Randy on Dec 3, 2009 10:23 PM PST up reply actions
that was the only game I could count.
perhaps the best offense gave in a Q. A least his shoots was falling in that game.
Curry tends to play pretty under control in the 4th. I don’t know that he always makes the difference, but he usually gets a little smarter in the 4th, it seems.
I don’t know, I’d still rather have him take that shot than Monta.
by Reverend_Randy on Dec 3, 2009 10:29 PM PST up reply actions
Yea, I can't
But I’m still waiting for him to turn the page from moped-gate, as with many other Warrior fans.
The biggest gripe I have with the Warriors is the lack of Defense and Rebounding, Monta isn’t even close to those two issues.
One of the few to have appreciated Cap'n Jax. Do well in NC, get that 8th seed!
Conductor of the "We're Back!" Bandwagon!
that's because of the size of the guys!
defense has gotten better. and they are rebounding better. even the guards are trying to hustle (i say guard, because last season, they weren’t hustling enough)
Haha good one with the Guards
But yea, Nelson is almost up there with the rebounding and defense, since he never plays normal lineups and only cares about offense. But whether its the players faults, the coaching staff, or a team effort. We will not win at all, more so re-enter the playoffs, till we go back to fundamental basketball in playing defense, rebounding, and protecting the ball.

Well, he always has poor ball security, which is a bad thing when he is our dominant ball handler.
by samuraaaaiiiiiii on Dec 3, 2009 10:22 PM PST up reply actions
One good thing
Monta’s poor game in Denver last night got everyone else involved in the offense and it really seemed to carry over to tonight as a nice team effort.
If Bochy coached the Warriors Bengie Molina would start every game at PG.
that is why they should keep the lead at ALL times

i know what killed us.
the fouls in the first few minutes, leaving the Rockets in the bonus. Then the iso plays by Monta and Corey. Corey’s D. How many basket did Laundry make? The misc. TO.
But, then again, small ball didn’t help the cause. Really, Corey at the Center? Even Moore isn’t that good at the C.
Corey at the Center

Vlad was a better bet to defend Landry.
But honestly, almost no one has stopped Landry this year. You’d hear more about him if Scola wasnt a Rocket. (Glad he is though)
Takes me back to the Ellis vs Fisher endgame
To this day I still don’t get why Nelson ran a High School stack inbounds play.

He had assistance by the refs, Nelson, Ellis, and the person he stepped on to help them. Was not the sole reason why we lost that game.

Vlad’s line isn’t too bad either:

Another good thing.
The Warriors really seem to be getting better at a nice pace. They still have bad games, but they are nowhere near as awful as they were coming into the year.

i wonder if there is such a thing as good Monta and bad Monta
I think he needs to know when to give up the ball and realize that the other team isn’t going to let him score. Esp. during clutch.
Maybe instead of a stomach problem, he got a fever.
i agree with this
we’re playing more like a team. now it’s a matter of experience

Monta seriously needs to do some ball handling drills......

but he needs to protect the ball on crossovers

hes handling too much him handle/

Does it matter when half the time they just run Monta and Maggs isos?
by Badly Browned on Dec 3, 2009 10:34 PM PST up reply actions
to be honest
it only really happened in the 4th
oh, and the passes before the end of the 2nd Q. those were back to back plays. exactly the same plays. and exactly the same offensive fouls.
Yeah, we played so much better ball in the 3rd which we totally scrapped for Monta/Maggs isos in the 4th

I just checked and the Nets play
the Bobcats tomorrow, then the Knicks, then the Bulls, then us. So, what are the chances they don’t beat one of those other teams first? This probably isn’t worth pondering too long, but I sure as hell would hate to be the Nets first win. Talk about stigma.
The chances of us playing them still winless is very high
thay lost 18 straight i wouldnt bet on them winning one of those next three games. so we’ll probably be their first loss

I know somebody is going to have to be their first loss, but damn, that would really suck. The Knicks are probably their best hope of a win out of the group before us.

on to some good news, at least Hunter appeared to have a good game.
(of course aside from Vladimir and AM and Curry. I have to say, when Curry shots less, I’m more happier. I guess I just don’t trust his shots just yet)

Why was CJ guarding Brooks at the end
If monta is our best defender why not put him on brooks? CJ had shown consistently that he coundnt stay in front of him so why keep him on him????
by scraider3 on Dec 3, 2009 10:37 PM PST via mobile reply actions
i think he was guarding Trevor or Shane.
Curry was guarding him earlier in the 3rd, and he make like two huge threes.
Monta was on Ariza, and Ariza is their best player.
by samuraaaaiiiiiii on Dec 3, 2009 10:39 PM PST up reply actions
Probably would have gone against CJ regardless. Statistically (now that Acie is gone), CJ has been their worst defender in terms of opponent’s stats on the perimeter. and only AB & Mikki have given up more production.
Still can’t believe they turned down a 1st round pick (& anthony johnson) for this guy even though he’s stated he doesn’t want to be here and is desperate to leave (who turns down years & money for a 1 yr deal?).

i know i should be nice
but is it me, or when Corey is on the floor, and the ball doesn’t get pass to him, he appears to be lost.
on these post game replays
morrow had a nice enough crossover to get away from battier on that last morrow lay in
doesn’t seem to bother grandpa Nash & Hill and the rest of the Suns or the Knicks. wasn’t like it was a huge problem in the 50s to 80s when everyone was running.

Nellie lost this game
NO PLAYER should be blamed!
Monta was sick… a good coach would have rested him tonight because of the stress coming up for the team.
In the end, why Monta? Why not Morrow for three?
Even if we didn’t win, it would have been a lost with dignity.
Next is that bad call… I thought they had replay now. I didn’t see CJ touch Brooks.
Well I'm outtie

Am really trying hard not to laugh at that…
well, in my book that translates to We Lost…but by 2 points…how did that happen? did we miss a play or something?

I never see any GS games here on the East Coast. All i saw were bottom line scores and was damn optimistic. Apparently that was the wrong idea
