OPEN THREAD: GS Warriors vs Wacktown Kings - The Final Battle of NorCal

We_still_believe_tiny by R Dizzle on in Previews Comment 669 comments

Golden State Warriors at Sacramento Kings, Apr 5, 2009 6:00 PM PDT


Norcal_medium

We want the Bear!!

Warriors: Almost 30
Kings: Almost 20
Tip-Off: 6:00 PM PST
TV: CSN
Radio: KNBR 680

The Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings don't have much of a rivalry and neither is heading to the playoffs, but they sure have a knack for playing entertaining games.

Gee, thanks ESPN.  I'm sure all Warriors and Kings fans appreciative of the kind words. 

Either way, as my friend IQofaWarrior summed up very nicely the other day, we may be down and out, but even the lowly Warriors can beat the Kings with a 7 "NBA player" rotation. 

We might not have Brandan Wright, Stephen Jackson, Andris Biedrins,  Corey Maggette, Marco Bellinelli, or Jamareo Davidson (how many times have I went off on that rant before?) but we might have Monta Ellis.  And we definetly have Rob Kurz.

Gots to see the positives yo!

3 more games yo...3 more games and we'll hti the magical number of 30 wins. 

Alright, enough.  In the wordes of my main man Don Nelson,

 

"You never know where your wins are coming from and where your losses are coming from, I think that's the lesson tonight," Warriors coach Don Nelson said.

Star-divide

R Dizzle's Predictions

  • Warriors by 1234567890
  • Kings commit 0987654321 turnovers
  • Kevin Martin scores 50 points, racks down 20 rebounds, and 10 assists
  • Anthony Randolph with another double-double
  • Halfway through the game, I decide to drive to Arco Arena and punch the Kings announcers for being such BIG HOMERS (sorry, I had to)

I'm not saying people hate or dislike em

But, Fitz is a huge homer at least compared to JB. But, sometimes they say silly and obvious stuff like “That’s what you call the triple threat position”, “That’s a 3”, and so on.

And lastly, the worst homer announcers are the Celtic ones. Tommy whatever I think.

this has nothing to do with the game today, just wanted to say...

i met Marco Belinelli at Niketown SF yesterday. i just shook his had and told him to stay with the team, to which he was kind of like,“…meh.” maybe he didnt understand me, or maybe hes dissatisfied. who knows.

Lets Go Warriors, Lets Go!

As meaningless April games between bad teams go, I think this is actually kind of a big one for us. These are two teams that certainly have each other’s attention, and we could use a road win just to remember what one feels like. Here’s hoping for another good effort.

"We Deserve"

by YaHeard on Apr 5, 2009 5:19 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

yes, i actually reserved time for that one

and it sucked for the Suns. It was guaranteed to be over when the Mavs made that 3/4 court bank shot at the halftime buzzer. This is similar to our loss to Denver late last season, but at least we put up a fight. The Suns are going to be out of the playoffs, like we were. Poor Barnes has to go through this disappointment for 2 consecutive seasons.

I think Kevin Martin is out...

According to the Kings SB Nation blog, some user said he heard K mart wasn’t playing today. Hopefully that’s not the case for Monta

Do you Wazzel?

monta out tonight

andris biedrins will be “available” as the 8th guy, so it’s another 7 man rotation
