Postgame Quotes from warriors.com recap
Keith Smart
On Tonight's Game:
"We talked about just trying to work on what we need to do, and then still try and find the right mix to complement our starters. As we move through the preseason then move through the regular season, if they can play at a nice high level from both sides of the ball and keep us in games and find that bench that can kind of play and make plays to either keep us even, or keep us up, that’s what I’m searching for. Searching for guys that you can trust when we start getting deep into a season that you know that, he or the group, are going to give you something that you can trust every night when you go on the road, first on the defensive side to eventually just playing good basketball overall."
On Jeff Adrien:
"Well you look for players, guys who are coming in and trying to make a team and they have to do something to standout because they can‘t take a job from a starter, and they can’t take a job from someone who is contracted. So what they have to focus on is what can I do, and he’s asked that question. ‘What else must I do?’ And I said all you need to do is run and rebound and everything else will come out and work on your little elbow jumpshot. You give him a plan and he has followed through. But you know he has a good pedigree, he’s had good solid training and he’s a pro as a young player."
Dorell Wright
On His Performance:
"I felt good out there. Our main thing is to get stops on the defensive end. I am happy when we get stops like that and holding teams to a low shooting percentage. When you hold a team to 34 percent shooting you can’t beat that, you’re going to win a lot of games when you make an opponent shoot that low. I was really more impressed with that. When we play defense and you get long rebounds like that especially playing with these two little guys (Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry) there’s going to be a lot of easy buckets for me."
Jeff Adrien
On Tonight's Game:
"We played good. We started off a little slow but we picked up. You could see what happened when we came out to start the third quarter and we went on that run. We are just playing great basketball. Whenever we move the ball it’s a lot easier, teams can’t guard that kind of basketball when the ball is moving and screens are coming, its too much."
On His Performance:
"There were a couple more rebounds I could have got. Coach definitely knows there was a couple I could have got. I just try to give effort everyday, day in day out. Whatever it is, if it’s the weight room, video room or court I try to give a non stop effort."
On His Chances Of Making The Team:
"Even being the 15th guy you don’t know how much time you will get in the game but at least in practice you can bring it every day, day in and day out. That’s what I try to do. I might not bring in 15 rebounds every night but I will give effort. You can count on me for that."
On Coach Smart's Expectations:
"He wants me to crash the boards. He seen me knock down the mid range jumper but wants me to get better at it. I am always the type of guy where I take good notes from coach and I will work on it. So I’ve been just trying to work on my jumpshot with Coach Price."
Interesting Tweets
(after the game)
gswscribe: Smart blames himself for Lin debacle. Put Lin in game at a bad time, when intensity was up and pace was too fast. "I gave in to the urge."
(the next morning)
MSteinmetzCSN: Warriors waive Vernon Goodridge. Roster now stands at 16. #NBA #GSW
MSteinmetzCSN: He did. But Adrien was better. RT @JeffRScott: @MSteinmetzCSN I was there last night and thought Goodridge looked decent
Notes
- Keith Smart praised Ekpe Udoh for being a good student: studying film, paying attention, joining the huddles.
- Vernon Goodridge was waived by the Warriors the next morning.
What's next?
- Preseason continues as the Warriors face the Kings again on Tuesday at Arco Arena. Radio coverage will be KNBR 680.

I hate you, nba.com
They changed their video player app, and the current one doesn’t have an embedded video feature. Arrrrgh
We had 20 more pts in the paint them sac
Been a while since we could say something like that
Has it really?
I thought with all the fast break points we had last year we were one of the better teams in the paint?

I wish the NBA would air these games online
They would have no problem getting advertisements and it would be a way to upsell to league pass.
I'm trying something different to work around not being able to embed nba.com videos
I directly linked to nba.com’s highlight videos. Tell me if the links work or don’t work for you.
The highlights look nice, Monta and Wright's dunks were nice too
And DW’s pass to Lee was ultra sexy

D. Wright will be one of my favorite players this year
On another note. We might have a consistent starting line-up this year!! :)
i can remember one
in the @Mavs game where we won with 6 players. He had an alley oop throw to Randolph in the orangino highlights.

Dorell is looking like a stud. I’m really excited about him.
However, i’m getting the feeling Monta’s will still be on ball a lot this year, and this is pretty worrisome. But, it’s just preseason, nothing to fret about too much.

I dont get how Monta is still the primary ballhandler. If Curry was gonna be the primary ballhandler for the regular season he would be doing it now.
I don't get it.
It should be obvious the Curry be the main ball handler…. Smart, cmon.

I think Monta will be the primary ballhandler just because he is such a threat to drive defenses gotta pay so much attention to him.
I think Curry should be the primary ballhandler because he's not turnover prone and actually dribbles with his head up.
by Spider Jerusalem on Oct 10, 2010 10:56 PM PDT up reply actions
curry is TO prone...
That has been an issue for him
I wouldn't call Curry turnover prone. After a rough start his TO numbers were acceptable for the most part.
Not to mention his turnovers come while he’s creating offense for the entire team. Distributors with turnovers don’t bother me, volume scorers with turnovers do.
by Spider Jerusalem on Oct 11, 2010 2:02 AM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, they're both TO prone,
but Curry actually looks to pass. Not so much a knock on Monta. It’s just a role and ability thing- Curry is a flat out better passer than Monta.
I must look like a dork.
by Reverend_Randy on Oct 11, 2010 1:15 AM PDT up reply actions
this is false
Monta’s TOV% in his career is about the same as Chris Paul (i.e. very low). Where is this criticism coming from?
Well
Chris Paul has been the main ball handler and distributer his whole career.
Monta only started last year

by Badly Browned on Oct 12, 2010 10:09 AM PDT up reply actions
Monta's TOV% was not much higher last season than when he was playing more off the ball
and it was still relatively low (13.4%). Again, this is in the range of the top PG in the league, Chris Paul, who has a career 13.2 TOV%.
Not sure where the evidence that Monta is “turnover prone” is coming from.
NOOOOOO

Did we not learn anything form last year?
by Badly Browned on Oct 11, 2010 8:09 AM PDT up reply actions
It’s preseason, and we may be looking to sell Monta as a PG. If we can do that for the right player, e.g. Iggie, that’s good by me. (Not that I dislike Monta but Iggie>Monta.) Obviously, we’d have to throw something else in to make it work, of course.
All of that said, Monta didn’t turn it over this game and his +/- was excellent. Very solid game. If he plays like that regularly, I have no problem with him handling.
The Golden Glow is the only way to reach the upper level.
I hope he sticks around.
He was a super beast last night. 15 boards, 11 points, solid D. The guy is a banger, and he moves his feet well.

Good stuff from our starters. Initially, they had trouble hitting some shots but eventually got into a good rhythm.

We got more rebounds, wow
Two games in the row. Wish they continue this into regular season.
I am glad Smart took Lin out. He is not LBJ (yet). This is too much pressure from the fans. And why Kings tripleteaming him??

Jeff Adrian was in Beast Mode tonight
Definitely a good post presence on D from the bench. He’s got my vote for a roster spot.
7 O- Rebounds and a block in 22 mins as a SF.
Nellie is probably trying to come back out of retirement after seeing that.
by cybermaldonado on Oct 11, 2010 12:36 AM PDT up reply actions
I think he's got mine, too
if only because you have to look seriously at a guy who can create his own very efficient double-double while playing d, even in a preseason game. Reading his and Smart’s comments, I like a guy who asks the coach flat out “How can I make the team?”. I like a guy who pays attention to the answer and does it even better. And I really like a rookie who’s response to his double-double is basically “I could have gotten more boards.”

Decagon!!!!!
Do it…… VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!
As to the Pre-season games… DAMN……… hard not to get just a teensy weensy bit excited… I am liking what I see…
As to Smart…. doing ok….although I do still have question marks over his strategic thinking when having to react to a skilled head coach opposite him. An example of this it seems was playing Lin when he really should not have by all accounts.
But…we’ll see…and hopefully I will be proven wrong on Smart as the wrong choice for Head Coach.
Its a new dawn...its a new day...its a new owner ....for us!!!!! and I'm FEELING GOOD!!!!!!
According to MT2
Keith Smart “gave in to the urge” to play Lin, which he admitted was his mistake. So live and learn.
Now, I wonder exactly what the “urge” was. Was it just to play him, or was it the urge of the crowd? If it was the urge of the crowd, then the crowd expectations is doing DOUBLE harm right now. First, it’s harming Lin’s focus and concentration on the court. Second, it’s harming Smart coaching focus and concentration as well. In the worst case, we might just have to drop Lin later in the season just to get some sanity back in the Arena.

the "urge"
I’d imagine after Friday night when Lin came in to the biggest cheers of the night and performed well in short minutes he was probably eager to give him another shot in front of the home crowd and try to replicate what was a very special moment. I like that he publicly acknowledged that he didn’t handle the situation right. It would have been easy to say that it was Lin who cracked under the pressure. I didn’t see the game so I can’t really say, but it was a nice gesture for him to take the heat off of a young player like that. I do wonder, with all the reports of players loving Smart so much and getting so close to him, if he will be able to be detached enough to make the tough decisions when it comes to handing out minutes and handling player egos. It’s something I’ll be keeping an eye on anyway.

there were chants to get jeremy on the floor.
and apparently he did give on. at least smart listens to the fans…
Not sure that's a good thing in this case

you're so nice.
granted, i believe the lineup was reggie, lin, bell, and i forgot the other two. i think kings were still playing most of their starters…
round two on tuesday.
Like Smart said
Lin is still getting used to the intensity and timing of the NBA.
When he said he gave into the “urge” I wonder if he meant the urge from the fans. If that was the case, well, preseason is a good time to iron out those types of urges.

Matt Steinmetz tweets, waiving Vernon Goodridge
Call me a Warriors Fan but.....
I am really liking the whole vibe out there. When you see a highlight and it is not just Steph and Monta doing all the work. I am thinking it is going to be huge to have Lee there just because everyone else on the team can try to drive every time and then if they don’t have it, big dependable D-Lee will be there to take the pass and finish. I like it all…Uniforms, Team, Vibe, Owner?, Coach.
Watch out Western Conference the Warriors might just beat up on you. (going off last year when we would be the a good team with a below 10 man roster that had 4 new players on it then the last game….good things are coming)
I picked Octagon.
It was a shout out to Dr. Octagon aka Kool Keith. Who shares a first name with our coach-who i have faith in btw
And Posey is having amother great game.

I understand
People wanting Lin to do well, but chanting for him to come on the court like he’s some premiere player isn’t going to do anything to help. It put JLin, the other players and Coach Smart in an awekward position. It was kind of funny to hear people chanting for him to come in only to see him turn it over 3 times in a row.
Monta and Curry looked good together even though they both didn’t seem to be on fire.
One other thing: They would not have won without Adrien dominating the inside for those 20 minutes. The one block he had was sick, and was followed immediately by another that was incorrectly called a foul. Fun game!
Curry/Lee/Monta= Wins
According to the box score, Lin only had two turnovers. I know Marcus Thompson tweeted that he had 3.
The sequence where Adrien had two blocks in a row was awesome. I saw the bench of starters all get on their feet applauding, and then they were all shocked when they found out a foul was called. I don’t remember if the foul was on Adrien. I assumed it was on someone else who committed the foul on the ground on a reach-in.
Video of Lin against the Kings
Um..not sure what to say, I guess I’ll let the video speak for itself…

Lin not doing so good there, but it looked like mental errors. He was tryin’ too hard and puttin’ too much pressure on himself.
The Golden Glow is the only way to reach the upper level.
Yeah, his handle looked fine.
He needs to think ahead and decide the options before he makes a move
