Keith Smart
On The Team:
``We still have to master not turning the ball over, but as long as we keep playing defense, I think we'll be all right. We're doing a lot of things I like on defense. I like where we are.''
Monta Ellis
On Playing 53 Minutes:
``It's no problem, because it's what I train for. Playing that much is nothing unusual. Games take less energy than practices. It's only the preseason, too. The regular season is when it really matters how much you play.''
Notes
- Tonight's DNPs were: Curry - ankle, Carney - sore knee, DWright - sore knee, Amundson - finger, Udoh - wrist.
What's next?
- That's all she wrote for the preseason. Soon the Warriors will have to decide if they want to keep Jeff Adrien for spot #15 or if they want to keep it open. The regular season starts on Wed, Oct 27, 7:30pm at home against the Rockets.

AFter reading that Steinmetz article
It looks like Smart’s decision was to play Monta and Reggie a butt ton of minutes. Not liking this back court situation much at all…

I think they're the only 2 players Smart can trust
to execute plays against the Lakers defenders. I’ll have to rewind and rewatch to see what Charlie Bell and Jeremy Lin did in the few minutes they were on the floor. But I have a feeling it wasn’t much.

We out rebounded the Lakers by 10+
And shot a better FG%.
If Curry was healthy and we didn’t run Monta into the ground, we probably have this game.
The San Francisco 49ers, inventing new ways to lose every week!
aside from everything, the warriors did well.
but i’m a tad bit confuse. last season, we were one of the worse rebounding team (if not the worse) and we still lost a lot of games. this preseason, we pretty much out rebound the other team, and still isn’t a .5 team. (given that of the games, twice we play the lakers in around LA) so what is our problem? and we really much suck on road games. really.
so would it be the lack of the three point shooting?
post offensive (is that correct wording?)
too many turnover (congrates curry, monta is in your league now!)
too many road games at the beginning of the season (obviously the league love us so much that aside from having tons of lakers game. [do the owners really care about revenue over wins?]
or is the questionable foul calls?
really, what is it?
or perhaps, maybe we really just suck?
please god, be nice to me. um. LGW…still.
20+ TOs a game probably isn't helping anything

A good chunk of it is Vlad, Gadz, and Bell
Seriously, Vlad cost us the game tonight – it wasn’t just ESPN being snarky. I wa really really hoping I would be able to say something positive about any of those three tonight. Sadly, after Rad got torched for 9 points in 90 seconds to tie the game……

just to make it clear
Rad scored 8 points and gave up 9 right there. He had 2 steals and 2 assists – and 4 turnovers. He was 3 for 10 from the floor.

I hear what you are saying but vlad’s defense was pretty solid for about 3 quarters. i think he just got too many minutes. He gives us good size when he plays SF. I would appreciate it though if he never took a shot.
Brown at SF had 18 on 6/9 in 26 minutes – Vlad played 30. ……. we absolutely lost the game at wing.

Brown has looked good to me in the preseason so far. It looks like he actually has a jumper now. He’s going to be VERY good if he can hit that consistantly. He’s already good on defense because of his size, quickness and strength. I hope the warriors make a pitch for him this summer. i don’t like him at SF but as a good rotation guard.
So where was DWright over the past few gms? Did he hit on Smarts wife or something?

Monta ran out of gas
He destroyed the Lakers for three quarters but went 1 for 10 down the stretch. He kept getting front iron on his shots showing was flat spent.
He was looking like the bad Monta in the 4th.
Plus there wasnt a lot of passing going on especially from Monta. With Curry out the bad Monta seems to be rearing its head up.
by Only In Fairfax on Oct 23, 2010 10:38 AM PDT up reply actions
Que?
With Curry out, Monta kept us in the game. His FG% was incredible to start. LIke Jtrosa said, Monta was gassed by the fourth. It’s no like he was bad Monta all game — just down the stretch, which is understandable. We literally had nothing else going offensively.

last season, we were one of the worse rebounding team (if not the worse) and we still lost a lot of games. this preseason, we pretty much out rebound the other team, and still isn’t a .5 team.
we traded good shooters for good rebounders. The trick is to find the right balance or find guys who can do both.

Reggie had a very good game.
Monta Ellis had a tremendous start, not a good finish. But overall, he was still very good.
David Lee had 16/14, but watching the game he didn’t seem like he contributed that much.
Overall, this game was a thriller. I know Lamar and Bynum are out and Pau didn’t play as much, but we won the rebounding battle….AGAIN!
Everyone needs to remember how much this win is worth
ZERO. It was an exciting preseason game, keyword: PRESEASON. The games mean nothing so just take it for what it is, a very EXCITING and ENTERTAINING game of basketball.
i think it means a lot
i believe this will give smart a lot of thoughts to make major (minor?) adjustments. perhaps make more plays for the forwards and centers, etc.
speaking of good game.
there’s also bad individual performance. How bad can Vlad be? Did you see Ellis basically playing with 1 leg?
Its ok he got to take the day off tomorrow maybe the next day
to get him going. But you can see he was tired during the overtime period

i'm sure he'll be fine.
but why risk anything? its preseason.
I’m not too sure Smart is the guy making decisions about Monta’s playing time.
I think it might be Monta who is the boss in that regards.

I think Smart is sending a message to Riley that he needs another point guard
It looks like for all the good moves Riley did to address the Warriors size and rebounding issues that he failed to bring in a point guard to back up Curry. I think Riley was planning on bringing back CJ but once he got the big offer from the Bulls, Riley failed to bring in someone else to take his spot. (I believe it was Lacob who said number 1 problem with Warriors has been a lack of a plan). An Earl Watson would have been nice or if somehow he can get TJ Ford out of Indiana that would be great.
It looks like Smart believes he has two guys who can play the point Curry and Ellis. Curry couldn’t go so Ellis played the entire game.
I don't know if Smart's intention was to send a message to Riley to get a backup pg
but that’s definitely the message being broadcast.

for the second time in 8 games Vlad blows a nine-point lead all by his lonesome, leading directly to a loss, and our problem is at backup PG?
Really?

I have no idea why you’re talking about Radman. This thread is talking about Monta playing the entire 53 minutes. What does Radman blowing a 9-pt lead have anything to do with Monta playing the whole game and us not having a reliable backup point guard to fill in for Curry?
by IQofaWarrior on Oct 23, 2010 12:20 PM PDT up reply actions
If Rad doesn't blow it
We don’t play overtime. Rad was subbed in for Lin who was net zero on his 2 minutes and had our only point, and had made fewer errors in that time than Adrien. Lin’s issue isn’t his performance, it’s that Smart doesn’t trust him.
Got it?

if you go by +/-, yes. If you go to the play by play and look at actual contributions and when they occur – which I do – at worst he nets 0 pesonally on that time, and was the only Warrior to score while he was on the court. I like Adrien, but he was a direct minus on a lane violation, taking away Lin’s second point (he did make the ft).
Let’s try it this way – if Lin’s preseason WP48 was 1/3 as good as it is, he’d still look like a very good point guard statistically. I think that’s more realistic. But nothing on the court has shown that he can’t play backup point quite adequately.

So if somehow we win the game
Monta would still have played all 48 minutes. So the issue of needing a backup point guard to fill in for Curry instead of Monta still exists. I still don’t understand what Radman has to do with Monta playing the entire game, whether it be 48 min or 53 min. That is, unless you’re implying that Jeremy Lin should be our backup point guard.

If BWright doesn't blow a WIDE OPEN DUNK
We dont go to overtime.
When Lin was in the game, the backcourt was Monta-Lin with Reggie at SF. Lin was subbed out for Radman when Lin had an unforced TO to the Lakers. After the sub, Reggie moved back to SG alongside Monta and Radman went to SF.

not unforced - steal by Blake
And where we were burned for the loss was at wing, directly over Radman. I’m not saying other players didn’t make mistakes, because they clearly did. But in that minute, it was
Radman travel
Radman foul -2 to Bryant
Radman blocked
Radman rebound
Radman turnover -2 to Bryant
Ellis miss
Brown hits 3 over Radman on switch
Blaming any other player at the end for the loss is blaming them for not being able to make up for Radman.

Lin was passed the ball and it basically bounced off his hands into the the Lakers
Blake got credited a steal, but it was unforced. It was also why Smart subbed him out immediately after that TO.

Unfortunately we have Gad and Bell who are taking up 2 roster spots and it appears as if they are worthless on the court.
I’d still prefer to keep Adrien. He looked really good in the preseason and and back up PG we get will be rubbish. We can’t afford a good one and Aaron miles is terrible.
Yep, but, they're not worthless in the accounting books
I would think that Riley has plans to trade their expiring contracts for reliable bench players, and that may include a reliable backup point guard. Or Riley might just let them expire and spend the money and the 2 roster spots next summer on free agents.
Whichever way Riley goes, we’ll have to suffer with Gadz and Radman on the bench for only this season.

Getting rid of CJ and Morrow were 2 really bad decisions! New owners and Riley only made 2 good decisions

that’s pretty awesome for an incredible preseason game
Our problem tonight was lack of 3s
not 3-pt shooters, but people who can actually play that position. As in Vlad is our 3rd string player and should be fourth on the rotation, with RW ahead of him if he has minutes available. We didn’t lose the game at guard – RW and Monta killed it. We did kinda lose it at the bigs, but not too badly. We were destroyed on the wing.

Vlad played so much because Wright and Carney are sore.
by duballers23 on Oct 23, 2010 12:53 AM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, for the most part
But a bigger part is that Smart appears to trust Vlad and Bell more than Lin. Vlad had had a good game for him to the point he collapsed, so in many ways I can’t blame Smart. Or I couldn’t if it wasn’t a consistent Vlad pattern – he did it twice in 8 preseason games. Personally, I would have left RW at the 3 and brought in Dre for Adrien first.
A great deal of Smart’s success will come from how well he can keep Vlad, Gad, and Bell off the floor. we’ll see if he can figure that out.
Baseball is a chamber orchestra. Football is a marching band. Basketball is a modern quintet. jazz, rock, hiphop, pop/ all about the beat./ still my revolution not/ til you dance through it.
With everyone healthy none of those guys should figure into the 9 man rotation anyways.
Dorell and Carney out meant we had Vlad and BWright play the 3 for us.
Curry out means we only have Monta and Reggie left as real quality backcourt players. Bell can play some defense, but hasn’t really brought much else. Lin is still a WIP, he was taking out because of his unforced turnover after all. However, Smart should have tweaked his rotations to get both Bell and LIn more playing time, so that Monta would not have been dead tired to close out the game.
Yes we have injured players right now, but our bench situation, especially in the backcourt, ain’t to thrilling.

It seems pretty clear to me
that Smart is trying to bring Lin along slowly. Don’t want him to get rattled. Nobody really cares if Radman loses his confidence. Might be a good thing the way he keeps jacking up the bricks from downtown. You could see Kobe getting in his head about it during the lineup for that one free throw.
Also, the announcers were talking about how Radman is a great practice shooter, but it just isn’t translating into the games.
Have the rains let up yet?
Can't they get rid of all 3 of them?
They are not worth having at all! THEY were not worth getting rid of CM’s contract!
A couple comments;
I think Jeff Adrien made the team. I dont have any smart reasoning behind it and im not even sure im confident about it. I wouldnt call it a gut feeling because that bs but im telling you hes got it.
Also Monta should handle the rock more often – play the one more often and curry play the 2 mas often. It should be split a little closer to 50 50. I like Curry better at the 1 but i see the benefits of having Monta there and i see the benefits of having Steph at the 2. Benefits that would benefit the team..in a good way. I said it. Its been said.

I think Smart realized Monta was burnt at the end of the game so he put the ball in Reggie’s hands and, to be honest, he didn’t do that bad. Semi-clutch if I may.

Reggie playing a reliable point, when needed, reminds me....
of last year, when I thought what a great closing unit could be having Reggie at the wing, Curry at the point, and Ellis in the game at the same time…triple kill opportunity….in fact, it would be a devastating trio, on the court, anytime…
I didn’t watch the game, sadly. What was with Brandan Wright’s +/-? He was at negative 23.
The Golden Glow is the only way to reach the upper level.
He played a good chunk at the 3 in the first half, guarding Kobe
And was subbed in when Beans fouled out.

When he only has 36 minutes of PT under his belt.
He was, understandably, completely gassed by the 4th quarter. You can see it in the pts per quarter.

Rebounding
The team totals on rebounding was a nice chance of pace. Offensive boards too.
Everyone is blaming Vlad, despite he actually had a decent game until the last 2 minutes.
Anyone else notice how we completely collapsed from the moment Biedrins fouled out? With Beans in, we fought from 87-85 lead to a 98-89 lead when Beans fouled out with less than 2 minutes to go. We all know what happened after that.
Sure hope Udoh and Amundson get better soon.

3-10 and 1-4 on threes….. right around his averages for preseason, which are .333 and .240. And I’m not sure where you saw the decent defense – he had more boards than usual. But this is Rad’s pattern….. he does, directly, lose you games.

Kobe absolutely destroyed BWright last night, he has less success on Radman.
Radman gave up points in quick succession in the 4th Qtr yes, but to say his game before that was garbage, at least when compared to what he has down in preseason up to this point, is narrow minded.

Ok sure
Let’s forget how integral Bean had been in the game, and to get fouled out. Let’s forget that BWright, in which not only did the team play worse overall when he was in, also missed the wide open potential game clinching basket. Let’s also forget that Smart worked Monta into the ground, and while he came off to a hot start, smacked of mid-2009 season form in the 4th Qtr.
Radman is not good yes, but to solely blame him for this loss is dumb.

Monta and Reggie's scoring
is the main reason this was a game at all. Along with Lee and Beidrins’ boards.

definitely
Even with his fourth quarter, Monta had a fantastic game – so did Reggie. I expected us to really suck when I saw the DNP list, but got very pleasantly surprised. We play very pretty ball when we’re clicking – even without Steph. That’s hella encouraging.

i think the guards were to be blamed for the loss
apparently they let the 3 pointer shooters opened. do we really need to help the F?
would that be conisdered failed assignment?
For all the talk about length and being long, Brandon Wright gets shots busted in his face on the regular, even D Fisher hit a jumper point blank range in B Wrights face, what’s length if he never uses it to affect the game…He’s a liability on the perimeter and gaurding the post…He’s getting too old to make these same mistakes

I think the problem with BWright at the perimeter
is that he doesn’t have any speed. If he gets too close to Fisher, or Kobe, or whoever is out there, they can speed around BWright and head for the hoop. So BWright has to space himself back a bit to guard the drive. As a result, his arm lengths don’t help him that much when he’s giving the shooter enough room to shoot. And if the shooters recognize that, they’ll just keep firing away.

Radman was miss city for most of the game - Reggie is 3rd PG option
I watch Vlad play and I see he tries on defense and is usually in the right position. It’s just his inability to hit the open shot or make an easy lay-up that kills me. I think he missed his first six shots and some of them looked pretty bad. His defense on Kobe was pretty good but, as the commentators said, it’s probably only because Kobe is not at 100%. I really hope during the season D. Wright is getting 35 mins at SF and B. Wright and Vlad split the rest.
I thought Reggie did an excellent job bringing the ball up and getting some time at PG. Clearly, better things happen when he has the ball vs. Lin or Bell. To me Curry is PG #1 and Monta is PG #2, but I was comforted by the fact that Reggie seems to be a very viable option as the 3rd PG. There is no reason why 2 out of those 3 guys can’t play together during every part of the game.
Beans had a surprisingly good +/- last night but his man-on-man defense is still very limited. It seems that when he really tries he ends up getting a foul. Also, when he and Lee are in the game together he still manages to pull most of the boards. If he could just be a more reliable stopper I’d be happier with his game.
Monta was ON FIRE during the first quarter. It was so much fun watching him swish shot after shot. I agree with everyone that playing him 53 minutes is ridiculous. Hopefully Smart can manage his time better during the season. If that doesn’t happen, I seriously doubt Monta will play more than 70 games.

I think we should buy out Bell
That’s the only way to open a roster spot and cut dead weight.

Only way we cut Bell
Is if we have a quality Guard to replace him with. We are severely lacking in that department right now.

Assessment after 2 TV Games
Living in LA I got to both pre-season games against the Lakers – Here’s what I’d say about the team:
The Good:
- Curry’s shot is already on
- Monta looks in good mode to play off the ball as a 2.
- Rebounding is better
- Lee is great scorer in the paint – much needed
The Bad:
- Offense hasn’t clue – Nellie will be sorely missed there
- Pick and Roll ain’t happening yet
- Team defense ain’t happening yet
The Ugly:
- OMG – Gadzuric and Bell are AWFUL. I’m not sure anyone is even going to want their expirings. If they’re not bought out, they should bet 13-15 and off the active roster. I’d rather have Chris Hunter than Gadzuric.
- Beyond Monte and Curry our guard situation is pretty bad (Williams more 3).
The best offseason move: David Lee
The worst offseason move: Letting CJ Watson go.
Our offense wasn't that great last 2 years
Lots of 1on1, etc.
It's been pretty average

Voted for Monta for...
his 41 pts on 30 shots, and, unfortunately, his 7 turnovers. Still trying to figure out how Lakers managed nine more shot attempts than Ws given GSW rebounding edge. Seems to have been statistical difference in game.
(haven’t read all comments yet; maybe sombody covered this)

GSW was -9 on the TOV differential last night

Because I vote for Lin everytime I login. And I’m Asian. But that’s not the main reason.
I also voted for Barack Obama … who graduated from Harvard.
Reading the comments above proves
the problem is the GSW front office and how they evaluate players!
