Postgame Quotes from warriors.com's recap page
Don Nelson
On Tonight's Game:
"It was a good win for us after last night's game. Our spirits really took a kick in the teeth after last night's tough loss. I was really proud of the way our guys performed on the backside of a back-to-back. Any win is good for our team right now, but a road win on the end of a back-to-back is really nice."
On Forcing Turnovers:
"We had a lot of deflections and steals, but only had five turnovers ourselves at the half, so we were taking really good care of the ball. When we take care of the ball, we're able to run our offense and find the hot man. When it got close we needed to keep running our stuff and get good shots and that's how we withstood their late run."
On Ronny Turiaf:
"Ronny was good tonight. I didn't want to play him too much and have him get tired. He's nursing a bad knee. I wanted to bring him back with seven minutes to play, but we definitely needed him with five minutes left. He's definitely been our strongest center all year."
Corey Maggette
On Tonight's Game:
""Yeah it is a nice feeling. We came off a tough one last night. It's real good to come in here and get one (a win)."
On Taking Care Of The Ball:
"It's always a big key for us that we don't turn the ball over. We're a run-and-gun team. If we can stop turning the ball over, and get up and down the court, more possessions, that would give us more opportunities to score the ball."
On Creating Turnovers:
"Yeah. We have the league's second-leading steals guy in Monta (Ellis). He did another great job tonight. He had 5 or 6 steals. CJ Watson as well."
Stephen Curry
On Tonight's Game:
"Defensively we played pretty well against the triangle offense. Their posts got a lot of buckets late, which brought them back into the game. We had a cushion for much of the game that allowed us to be in control. It was a great performance by us."
On Winning On The Road:
"Yeah, we don't want to have that same feeling of defeat back-to-back. We play a very good team in Sacramento on Friday. I think this is big for us to come in here and get a win on the road."
On The Key To Keeping The Lead At The End:
"Just continue to attack. Make winning plays. We always talk about the fourth quarter is winning time. You have to make plays to win. It's the NBA. Anyone can make a run. You have to combat that run with stops and scores, and I think we did that tonight."

My Notebook
- After tonight's game, the Warriors have finished half of their road games for the season.
- If the Timberwolves were a good team, I think this back-to-back from Denver to Minnesota could have been considered another "scheduled loss", as the Warriors had to travel through a time zone and lose an hour while playing back-to-back.
What's next?
- A 7 game homestand with no back-to-backs starting Friday. That means more local coverage, so more articles and videos for you, and more work for me. Oh wait...
- The next Warriors Weekly Radio Show will air on Thurs Jan 7th at 9pm, KNBR 680. mp3s should soon follow on their web page.

In my opinion,
We played an excellent all around first half both defensively and offensively. But I think we played a horrible second half. Im happy we won and all, but the Warriors do this way to much. In the NBA, you cannot settle for leads no matter what team you are playing and the Warriors have done this numerous times as of late. You have to keep pouring it on and taking good shots.
Corey seems like a great guy
He’s been playing lights out for a while now, and I really hope that the Warriors keep him because he is a great influence on the younger guys and plays hard every game.
way to make it interesting, guys. i don’t enjoy seeing a 19 point lead slip into single digits in the time it takes me to make a sandwich. great first half and solid finish (on offense in particular), but no lead is safe when you’re the golden state warriors.
heart of a champion, will of the warrior.
i feel like this could be a good homestand
we always seem to play cleveland tough, the kings could be hard, jennings is not dropping 55 again, idk bout the heat, and revenge against denver
nice one

Haha
and then there’s Turiaf’s “Get that sh- outta here! … Whoo!”
You know
I can’t help but rewatch those 2 Turiaf highlights, and it made me realize: He’s a guy you’d HATE if he was on the other team, but absolutely LOVE on your team.
In 24 minutes
AR had 15 points, 5 boards, 3 blocks, 0 turnovers, 1 steal and a +/- of +12. Imagine what he could do with some real minutes.
Rookie: "Why did you bench me?"
Nellie: "You're a rookie"
15 points, 5 boards, 3 blocks, 6 turnovers, 1 steal and a +/- of -12?

One of those blocks belonged to Curry. Curry blocked it and AR could have just grabbed the ball out of the air but he swatted it out of bounds like King Kong instead and got credit for the block.

Fine 2 blocks
Big whoop that’s still really good.
Rookie: "Why did you bench me?"
Nellie: "You're a rookie"
He's still a kid wait a couple of years. For me personally AR is doing amazing things for his age
Just think of how good can he be and then make a corelation wit consistence and I think he will DOMINATE.
You conveniently left out the fact that he shot 6/15, consistently failed to draw fouls at point blank range (doing his wierd corkscrew thing instead of initiating contact), and did a subpar job of boxing out his man. I like the kid a lot, and his one handed putback dunk towards the end might have sealed the game, but let’s not pretend he’s the second coming just yet.
Sittin in my scraper watchin Oakland goin wild, ta-dow!
People should just relaxe and enjoy his growth.
Of course if he makes these mistakes consistently let’s say three years from now then we can be concerned but still he will be good bench energy player so I say it’s a win win situation considering he was 14 pick in the draft. BUT if he starts to make those little things like boxing out not jumping on the slightest eyebrow pumpfake and controling himself on both ends, then he will be a beast leke KG or Bosh.
Almost seems to me like Maggs intentionally dissed Curry.
On Creating Turnovers:
“Yeah. We have the league’s second-leading steals guy in Monta (Ellis). He did another great job tonight. He had 5 or 6 steals. CJ Watson as well.”
He seems pretty knowledgeable about Montas’ stats. So, I figure he probably knows Curry is the leagues fifth-leading steals guy and should realize that Curry also had more steals in this game than did CJ.
Quit making the theiving Wall Street Fat-Cat Bankers even richer.

Uh
he said some pretty nice stuff about Curry too.
“Steph has been doing a great job. I mean for him to be a rookie, he’s very mature. He knows how to play the game, he does the right thing and that’s why I like him man. He’s gonna be a wonderful, wonderful player in this league and the only thing he can do is get better. All we can do is keep his confidence up.”
Sounds pretty nice to me.

ditto here, Captain!
Curry is also quickly becoming my favorite Warrior to watch because his style of playing basketball is sooooo pure. It really is poetry in motion when he is leading the break and he has Maggs on one side and Monta on the other. These guys are forming a rather formidable 3 headed beast and the more they believe in themselves and lead by example, the more wins and respect they will start to see as well.
And props to Maggs…he has been playing some of the best basketball of his career in the last month. He always had the talent, he just needed to bring it out and he is finally healthy! {Knock on wood……} Go Dubs!
Zeigler to Geren…."A-Rod? He’s my bitch." -alox
like when he tries to do too much while dribbling and passing and turns it over?
yeah I love that purity

And if I think of a player who is the most comparable to Nash I think of him first
Bobby Knight knows talent.

Added Rusty Simmons story: C.J. Watson still confident
By the way, you do good work. The quality of the main “recaps” have been sorely lacking around here. Having your Web Links recap is much better.

Thanks
I just go out and gather what I can find and bring it here for everyone to read and watch.
Agreed, nice job IQ
In regards to Supafishal’s comment, any idea why the quality of the “recaps” has really dropped off since last season?

I love the JB interview with CM...
at the end….
JB’s comment about CM considering being a Decathlete…and Corey was like…
“I’m sorry …wha???….?”..
I can just imagine the instant thought through his head…‘hey did Jim just call me a dick athelete?’… LOL.. seems like a superb fella and rightly proving the doubters wrong…
"Better a Has-been than a Never-was. But better a Never-was than a Never-tried-to-be"
That means more local coverage
This is a welcome blessing. Watching, and especially listening, to the away feed is excruciating. I do have to say though – the T-Wolves commentators were giving Nellie a lot of props for being the innovator and NBA hall-of-famer he is. Consistently saying what a good coach he is. It was a welcome break from reading the Fire Nelson rants on this website.
Flame away!
John 8:44 -Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.
yeah, i definitely enjoyed them talking about how nellie should be in the hall right now. good stuff.
the t-wolves broadcast team is actually pretty good from time to time. they tend to have a weird fixation on guys from minnesota (a lot of minnesota sports writers and commentators fall prey to that), but for the most part, i like listening to them. their halftime guys are another story entirely, but for the most part, they’re good.
heart of a champion, will of the warrior.
download for Minn game?
Does anyone know where I can find a free torrent download for this game?
Please…
