It's all potential from here
Forget the score. We lost.
The Jazz are one of the hottest teams in the NBA. The Warriors are one of the coldest teams in the NBA.
Sure we beat them 3 weeks ago at home. They didn't have Boozer or AK-47.
Carlos Boozer + Andrei Kirilenko + Mehmet Okur + Deron Williams, + Kyle Korver, + Paul Millsap = Bad Combo for the Warriors
The probability of the Warriors beating the Jazz last night was approximately 2%.
But that's not what's important here. Again, forget the score. I've got some math.
Deron Williams
Here's a mathematical question for you.
If you're Deron Williams and only score 6 points on 3 of 12 shooting, what does that mean?
You get 20 assists.
DW just kept creating for everyone on his team which is basically why they had 6, yes, 6 players in double figures. It was almost as if he said to himself, "I'm gonna try to set a new career record for assists tonight."
TOO BAD HE DIDN'T!
AND he got stuffed by Anthony Randolph.
Victory = Warriors.
Carlos Boozer
Here's another mathematical question for you.
If you're Carlos Boozer and you're coming off an injury and Anthony Randolph is guarding you in the first quarter, what kind of numbers can you put up?
10 points and 9 boards.
But ya know what? Forget about those numbers.
Victory = Warriors.
Mehmet Okur
Yet another mathematical question for you.
How many points can you score if Anthony Randolph guards you and you only play 26 minutes?
23 points.
Victory = Warriors (Unstoppable baby!)
Jamal Crawford
What happens when you play for 41 minutes, just got a game rest, and think you have to make up for the captain's absence?
You look like that.
No math involved in that one. Just thought it was funny.
Anthony Randolph
U = mgh
KE = (1/2)mv^(2)
Recognize those two physics equations?
If not, perhaps a few of these pics will jog your memory.
Got it yet?
The first equation was for potential energy. The second - for kinetic.
All that "potential" we have been hoping, searching, and talking about finally came out of AR and became "kinetic."
HE ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED THAT GAME.
Sure, he's defense was lacking early in the game and he was the reason Okur went off in the first, but he adjusted, and played with his head for the rest of the game. He hustled hard and played with heart all game. All those months of whining, firing agents, and complete silliness (lack of a better word there) finally paid off.
Future Hall of Famer? I'm not Lamar Odom, so I won't make such ridiculous claims.
Although in my "Fantasy Basketball" preview, I did say
AR comes down with 25 mins, 20 points, 10 boards
The box score says
26 minutes, 20 points, 8 boards, 4 blocks
Funny how my most accurate prediction was the one I said in jest.
Either way - I am impressed. Good work Randolph. Let's hope this continues well into the next 10 years.
Quick Hits
- Anthony Morrow played a respectable 25 minutes. Too bad it only came with one three pointer and 5 total points. Oh ya, and he was absolutely abused by Ashton Kutcher..I mean Kyle Korver by letting him score 17 points.
- Rony Turiaf - energy yes, producivity no. 6 points, 4 assists, and 2 boards.
- BEANS!! Gobbled up 12 boards. But foul trouble.
- Azubookeee with 13 point and 5 boards. But foul trouble.
- Jermareo Davidson with 3 minutes! WOOT WOOT!
- Rob Kurz with...DNP.
- The Jazz are a very deep team. They are going to be scary come playoff time.
- Wait, I think we could have used a player that was on the bench in a suit. What was his name?
KE = (1/2)mv^(2)
By the way.
x > y
112 > 104

excellent tanking game!
we get the loss and keep it super exciting AND see our future HoF (j/k, i can wish tho)
AR with the WW!! great game!
You know I spit technique to the freshest freak
Gimme a call you will see results in just a week
With the soul of a LOST HAWK
Is there a heaven for a Rap Cat, let's talk
i don't get the tanking
even if we lose the rest of our games, we’re not getting Blake Griffin. I would settle for Patty Mills though, if he enters the draft.

I should rephrase
We’re not losing the rest of our games. But if we lose many (enough to seem like we’re still trying) we’re not gonna be in the lottery.

You do understand that
every team that doesn’t make the playoffs is in the lottery, right?
Nelly has wet dreams about starting Monta at center.
i thought it was just the bottom 5 teams

no.

We're currently in the #7 slot
Which gets a ~15% chance of a top 3 pick.
We’re also only 4.5 games away from the 11th pick, which gets a 3% chance at a top 3 pick.
Get it? #7 is much better than #11. If we start winning games, we lose our draft slot.

Does anyone connected with the team know math? If so why do we have so many 2 guards?
If we luck into the first pick we’ll probably get another 2 guard!
Now wheres the rubbers? Whose got the rubbers?
I noticed there's so many of them
and there's really not that many of us.

They know math, they're just applying it wrong
2+2=4 does not apply to shooting guards and power forwards.

"Hold it. The Schwarzenegger Library?" - John Spartan after hearing Arnold became President, from Demolition Man
solid
the physics formulas reminded me i have much schoolwork to attend to, but would obviously rather read up on my GSoM. randolph played his ass off, and i’m happy he got some recognition for it. impressed by your fantasy stat predictions, no matter how jokingly they may have been intended. another fantasy prediction i read in the open forum came true: kurz with a HUUUGE double-double with minutes on bench (48) and high fives given (21). he came close to double digits in a few other categories: gatorade and towels given out (8 and 6 respectively)
i dont think we lost because jackson was out, we made up for him, esp in the turnover category. like 11 in the fourth?? no team can win a game like that.
Good recap...
That was an entertaining read.
BTW how long did it take you to find a picture of AR’s “block” on Boozer that didn’t show his hand coming up through the rim.
Thing 2
naw
you can tell his arm is in front of the orange of the rim

What happened to developing the youth?
At least half of the bandwagoners have suggested that instead of putting out the best team out there. Now that it’s happening… people aren’t quite as satisifed with the losing. I guess its because it doesn’t give them a reason to complain anymore.
by Mr. Monday Night on Mar 2, 2009 3:59 PM PST reply actions
yeah
I think there’s plenty to be satisfied with (Randolph) but I don’t know about not even suiting up Jackson against Utah. Why not just give him less minutes and announcing that you will do so? But I think most people could tell Randolph is the real deal so if anyone has to replace our best player for one game I’ll take him.

yeah those dang bandgwagoner fans!!!!!! Bandwagon fans ALWAYS want to develop youth and not go for the "win now" approach
stupid bandwagoners…. and their see what we have for next year ideas
RDizz
Props on the recap – great pics and nice style on the post. I was there and was happy until the last 5 minutes when the turnover parade began….
another thing that rankled me was the reffing. Whoever ref#64 was he sucked!!!
I was in the second row of this game (orange jacket opposite the Jazz bench)
The refs were getting ripped by the crowd, and rightfully so. There was some sloppy officiating.
Jack Relationship = Love/Hate, um Need/Don't Need
Last night’s game showed us that the Warriors can play for spurts without Jack, but then when crunch time came at the end of the qtr or at the end of the game, THEN we needed Jack. During those periods, we looked indecisive and doubtful, allowing the Jazz to score on us. I hope Nellie realizes this and plays Jack less. The game seemed to flow better overall without him.
Anthony Randolph, WOW. He was a monster force last night. Highlight after highlight, hustle after hustle. The Boozer rejection through the rim, the lob from Morrow, the play from Crawford to Turiaf to Randolph. We must chain this kid to the Warriors.
Speaking of Morrow, I think the game is too fast for him, at least on the offense, and he hasn’t adjusted to the pace yet. A lot of his shots looked rushed or forced. I love his energy, and I hope he’ll work his way into the game flow.
Next up, 4 road games in 5 nights, and Biedrins sits. JD time??? Maybe. But I’d rather have more AR please.
Am I the only one here
Who thinks of Randolph as (a young) Candyman…?

omg that has to be his new nickname
I though it was the Mop?
Now wheres the rubbers? Whose got the rubbers?
I noticed there's so many of them
and there's really not that many of us.

Hahahaha
Oh man, I totally forgot about that from the broadcast.
Bob: “If Brian Cardinal was the garbage man cleaning up the plays, Anthony Randolph is The Mop.”
"If Brian Cardinal was the garbage man cleaning up the plays, Anthony Randolph is The Mop."
Cardinal was the “custodian”, cleaning the floor cause he was always on it. Barnett said Rudolf should be the “Mop” then cause he spent more time on the floor than Cardinal.

How did you remember
exactly who called AR the Mop and Brian Cardinal the Custodian during the broadcast? I thought it was Bob, and I wasn’t sure what BC was called.
by IQofaWarrior on Mar 3, 2009 12:59 PM PST up reply actions
and I wasn’t sure what BC was called.
It not what you remember that matters it’s how you present it :>)
I think he actually called him the janitor but I remembered him as the custodian so I used that.
Bob or Barnett? Haha , I don’t remember cause I just expect everything that Barnett says to go in Bob’s ears and out his mouth.

This reminds me of the
E=MCvagina video on youtube.
Some of the plays in that game
Made me snicker evilly. cough Crawford to Turiaf to Randolph for the windmill cough
Too bad we couldn’t pull away with the W.
All your base are belong to us
Yeah those reffs were awful, i deffinitly dont think we would have won with different reffs
but man those guys looked absolutely lost at times
More math
What?!?!?!? 4 Warriors and only 1 Jazz player in a picture? No way! This has to be part of RDizzle’s fantasy basketball. Photoshopped!
4 Warriors
and notice how our guys are recoiling away from Rudolf, they don’t want to get wacked by the Mop.

Candy man?
Rudolf’s got that stickman body and always hitting the floor so he’s definitely the Mop.
Now if he would grow some nice long dreads the effect would be even better.
You wanna argue with Barnett?
