Keith Smart
On Winning A Low-Scoring Game:
"Like I saw all the time, at the end of the year the bottom line is going to be did you win or did you lose? It was good that we won a close game. It got tight, and we made some plays. But I was proud because we couldn’t make a shot, could not make shot. Yet we were up by one point at halftime. Our defense was really engaged to take away paint scores from this basketball team (Utah Jazz). I just thought the way we rebounded, and you have to rebound against this team to have a chance because if you don’t they will eat you alive on the glass. I thought the way our two big guys have done it thus far this year, they rebound the basketball."
On The Team's Defense:
"We have a saying D.T.W. Defense travels well … We weren’t down by 10, 15 points. Our defense kept us close. At some point somebody is going to make a shot, we’ll get to the foul line and that’s what we did Opening Night. And we knew that was going to be a high scoring game without Yao Ming, and yet to come back in this game and know we would have to defend the paint and if we did that we knew we would have a chance to win the game and we did that."
9:11 min: Keith Smart at the podium
Monta Ellis
On The Upcoming Road Trip:
"This is going to be our biggest test right here when we go on the road. We have five games in seven days so it’s a big test for us. It’s the first time we’re going on a road trip and there are some winnable games. We just have to play like we did tonight. Also continue to play hard as a team with scrappy defense and come out with a successful road trip."
On Coach Smart Emphasizing Defense:
"We have been focused on defense for the past few years. It’s just that we have more guys that feed into it and guys that are willing to play defense. Coach continues to tell us to play defense, even though our offense wasn’t going well tonight we stuck around with our defense. At the end of the game we made shots and made plays and won the game."
Andris Biedrins
On Winning With Defense:
"I think it says a lot. That’s what we’ve been practicing since training camp. It’s finally starting to pay off. Like coach said at half time we were only shooting 32 percent but we were up one point and it was due to our defense. Defense would get us the lead. I thought everybody enjoyed that. We could win with our (defense) because it was not our night for our shots to go down."
On Playing Alongside David Lee:
"It’s been real easy since training camp to play with each other. We understand our roles on offense and defense. We will always help each other. It really feels like we have been playing with each other for a long time. He makes my job easier."

DWRIGHTWAY1: Yooo Bay Area #gsw fan!! Nice Win 2nite. We def made it Ugly out there!! We got key stops!! 4-1 ill take it. Big road trip ahead!! Lego
Notes
- Monta said that the coaching staff has been focused on defense for the past few seasons. The difference is now we have guys who are willing to play defense.
- From the podium interview, Smart said he had an agreement with the players that whenever he yells at somebody, it's not personal.
What's next?
- Road trip! Our first road trip of the season is a tough one. Five games in seven days, with 2 back-to-back pairs of games, will be a really good road test. Next game's on Sunday afternoon.
- Don't forget to turn your clocks back Sat night/Sun morning.

How many boards did Biedrins end up with? Was it 20 or 21? That’s why he gets my vote.
I believe that ghosts are like dogs. They just do things arbitrarily.
20 boards, zero turnovers, plus some very, very tough D, plus one restaurant quality post move to the hole v. Elson (though he didn’t convert the and-one). He definitely gets my vote.

Bean's boards
Was a great example of why great rebounding is also part of good defense. It limited the Jazz chances for 2nd chance points, their calling card, and instead we were the team getting those put backs
Yes voted for Elson!
"I tell him straight, 'If you're going to lead, you have to be the first to practice. You have to come in, get your work down and be prepared for practice,' " assistant coach Keith Smart said. "He needs to figure out why he is having stomach problems and he's got to watch how LeBron (James), Kobe (Bryant) and D-Wade (Dwyane Wade) work. He needs to mimic that if he wants his teammates to speak volumes about him." -Keith Smart on Motna Ellis

Love it.
This is encouraging. The cliche is: when you’re a good team, you can win in a lot of ways. The truth behind that cliche is: when you can play defense well and limit opponent eFG%, you can survive a lot of miscues. The Warriors played defense tonight like a playoff team. I was (and still am) thoroughly impressed.
by Spider Jerusalem on Nov 5, 2010 11:02 PM PDT reply actions
Great game
Curry and Beans were huge obviously. Tonight was the first time this season that i’ve watched the entire game. Even though tonight wasn’t his best game, D. Wright looks like a great addition to this team.
veddy good!
Very impressive win, the mentality in the locker room must be very strong at this point because, in short, they are earning these wins by finishing strong throughout the 2nd half. something we couldn’t have said last season.CREDIT TO BEANZ & LEE TANDEM 35 BOARDS COMBINED! hell even gadz had 6 boards in 12 minz. holdin’ it down at the oracle so far! 4-0! lol
KeWzEe
Gadz looked pretty good tonight, too. Liked the way he threw it down and it was obvious that his strength and size were operative in a big way.
The Golden Glow is the only way to reach the upper level.
I'll give Gadz this...
He is much more athletic and mobile than I thought he was. He plays hard, and gets after it out there.
I think it gets in opponents’ heads to have a big, strong manly man push them around a bit. Gadz can do that a few minutes a game. He’s a pretty good role player.
The Golden Glow is the only way to reach the upper level.
Yeah...
I think he’s a perfectly serviceable big body to fill in for Andris for about ten minutes a game. I’d rather have Amundson healthy, but he’ll do for now. He’s impressed me, and exceeded my expectations so far. I’ve enjoyed his hustle, and his aggressive D, but his rebounding will have to pick up, and he’ll need to get his fouls down, but I don’t see any reason to think he can’t do those things.
No question. Vlad went up for a mid-range jumper, and my knee-jerk comment was, “Miss.” He did. He is sucking it up again. I thought he was pretty good at the beginning, when he first got here. Then he sucked. They chalked it up to injury, but now I think he just sucks. He’s in a constant slump.

I don’t know how you gather so much good content so fast. I’m going to go to bed before all these awesome links keep me up all night.
Oh, I've develped a pretty good system for it

I’ve never really utilized RSS feeds but it seems like a very smart way to gather information.
OMG Andris Biedrins is shooting 0% on free throws for the season.
Where’s the dedication? He played such horrible defense that Al Jefferson couldn’t contain himself from sucking. He fouled out with 3 fouls. What a horrible player, and his 20 rebounds were meaningless and he just stole them away from our only “big man” David Lee!

[Biedrins] On Playing Alongside David Lee:
“It’s been real easy since training camp to play with each other. We understand our roles on offense and defense. We will always help each other. It really feels like we have been playing with each other for a long time. He makes my job easier.”
This is like basketball erotic literature to me.
The Golden Glow is the only way to reach the upper level.
"Now I [Andris Biedrins] can go help and I know somebody will help me, too," said Andris Biedrins, who had 20 rebounds. "That was the main thing. I was getting mad all the time because I always went to help and I was disappointed that a lot of times guys didn’t help me out. But David (Lee) is always behind me and he keeps talking, saying ‘don’t worry about your man, I got you.’"
From: Steinmetz: Is Something Screwy in Warriorville?
More basketball equivalent of erotic literature. Good stuff.
The Golden Glow is the only way to reach the upper level.
Curry lifted the Warriors’ struggling offense down the stretch. He nailed a pull-up jumper at the 2:35 mark to break a 72-all tie. He then came up with a steal and went coast-to-coast, spinning away from Kirilenko for a scoop layup and a foul. His free throw put the Warriors up 77-72 with 2:11 left in the game.
Moments later, it was small forward Dorell Wright hustling and coming up with a loose ball with 1:15 left in the game, which led to an Ellis jumper for a 79-74 advantage with 54.8 seconds left.
Still, after a layup by Jefferson, the Warriors found themselves needing one more basket. And guess how they got it? A putback by Lee.
(From Marcus Thompson recap) And some more. I was so freakin’ pumped at Curry’s steal and coast to coast. I’ve never been that excited at any sporting event ever. Ellis and Lee’s contributions at the end were freakin’ awesome as well. So much fun at the game!!

Dorell Wright really struggles to create his shot. I don't know why, he has great burst and handling for a guy his size.
by GovernorStephCurry on Nov 6, 2010 12:11 AM PDT reply actions
I thought his handling looked pretty shaky close up (I was in the third row). He’s not that quick with the ball in his hands, honestly. He’s very long, and it takes a lot of strength and explosiveness to make up for the leverage issues, high center of gravity and such. He lacks that somewhat, although, as I said, his ability to anticipate and/or his basketball IQ really are impressive.
The Golden Glow is the only way to reach the upper level.
Yeah i sat row 5 tonite but i saw him row 3 on opening night but I think his handle is very nice for a 6'9 dude.

Yeah, for a 6’9" dude, it’s fair, I’d say. He’s quite coordinated, but he’s not too quick with the ball.

LOL That’s funny. My buddy didn’t make a lot of noise this game. I was surprised. We had a couple of Jazz fans in my row, but they weren’t drawing attention either. I had a freakin’ blast. I was yelling to Al Jefferson (jokingly and not so loudly that he would hear), “Go back to Minnesota!” when he messed up. ha ha

Yeah that's a nice section. I prefer sideline club or corners. I can't really sit anywhere else cause i'd rather watch at home on HD haha.

I was joking about his hair: “The Dark Ages called! They want their hairstyle back!” What a defender, though. Scary good.

Crashing the boards was definitely the key to the game.
A Nellie ball squad would have just run back immediately after clanging a missed shot. This time they aren’t giving up on plays so easily. David Lee’s tipin with a minute left in the game was worth his gi-normous contract.

Seriously though, Beans for WW. If this were last year, we would have been down by 20 before we got any semblance of offense back. Beans gave us defense and tons of rebounds tonight.

Monta
Despite his poor shooting, 7 steals, and almost all of them lead to easy baskets.
How often does Deron Williams have 8 turnovers?
Still Beans for me
We shot 37.6% from the field last night. However, we had 11 more offensive boards and kept the Jazz from establishing an inside game.

GSoM neglecting defense :D
Al and Millsap hit the boards hard as well. Not as hard as Warriors but still.
I really think getting DWill to turn it over 8 times is your win there. 5 to 6 turnovers he doesn’t often commit. 10 easy points you don’t score. In a game where shooting is awful you have to consider this.
5 to 6 turnovers he doesn’t often commit.
Well, 16 times last season. And 4 tov another 21 times. An average of 3.3. You can’t expect 8, but you should probably shoot for 4 or 5 if you’re a ballhawking team like the Warriors.

On a side note … did anyone watch the Utah broadcast and see the comical poll question “who’s the second best PG in the NBA?” The announcers explained, in a totally earnest tone, “we know Deron is #1, but who’s #2??” LOL. (Strangely, Rondo beat Paul handily in the poll).
Not sure if the Jazz announcers are homers or cretins or both but newsflash: Paul is #1, and it ain’t close. Rondo, Kidd, Nash, Billups and DWill can duke it out for #2 — my vote goes to Rondo. DWill may secure #3 as the other guys age, but then Rose, Westbrook, Curry, Wall, Holiday and co. are all coming on fast…

Also, for all his size, Deron is a pretty awful rebounder — nowhere near as good as Paul or Rondo.

Point guards rebounding is nice, but if you’re not great at it, I can live with it. You can always have other people on the team to take care of most of that.
The Golden Glow is the only way to reach the upper level.
A rebound from a guard counts just as much as one from a big man. Upgrading (?) from Deron to Rondo gets your team nearly 2 more rebounds per 36 — about the same as the upgrading from, say, Zach Randolph to Dwight Howard.
If rebounding is a non-issue, what’s so special about Deron’s size advantage?
There will be no extra point!
by Sleepy Freud on Nov 6, 2010 12:33 PM PDT up reply actions
I didn’t say it’s a non-issue, but it’s not hard to make up for. Plus, if you’re playing one one of the best rebounding teams, it’s even less of a factor. Will Rondo necessarily get you 2 more rebounds a game? Because if Rondo doesn’t get it, there’s a good chance another Celtic will, isn’t there? It’s not a 100% that the opponent will get it, if Rondo doesn’t.
Deron’s size advantage is good for defense in general, of course. He’s a more versatile defender, able to defend 1’s and 2’s. Who, for example, is going to post up on him? How effective will push offs be against him, as opposed to a lighter opponent?
On offense, who is going to push him around? Who can he not post up on, if he chooses? Deep in the playoffs, who can plow through physical defenses better? There are a lot of advantage to being as big and strong as D. Will is.
The Golden Glow is the only way to reach the upper level.
I buy some of your points about the advantages of size, but your point about “making up for” a teammate’s poor rebounding is pretty much nonsense, imo. Why did Riley make such a point of getting a bona fide rebounding beast at PF instead of Maggs/Tolliver/Wright? Why didn’t we just ask the other players to “make up” for the 2-3 rebound shortfall?
DWill’s mediocre rebounding is what it is. If it were better, he’d help his team win more. It’s one of the reasons he’s nowhere close to as good as Paul, and possibly not as good as Rondo (though it would be nice if Rondo learned to shoot just a little).
Deron’s also not as efficient a scorer as Paul, or as good at taking care of the ball, or nearly as good at forcing steals. Basically, to say Deron is the best PG in the league — or even worse, to assume it, like those Jazz announcers — is totally wack.
There will be no extra point!

It’s different with a rebounding big. They’re the ones getting the defensive rebounds right next to the basket, the ones that require muscle and height. Guards will get rebounds that go astray more. In my opinion, those rebounds can be made up for. You get diminishing returns from good rebounders, as has been pointed out in the past.
On offense, it’s Paul every day of the week. But in some circumstances, I’d say having Daron might be to your advantage, depending on the match up.
The Golden Glow is the only way to reach the upper level.

They do the same thing with Kobe. I think almost all the broadcast teams do that, especially Boob Fitz.

I was surprised also.
When the poll was playing, I actually blanked out & was thinking who could be ranked #1 if Chris Paul is an option. Then I see Paul isn’t even considered the second best PG according to their list & realized Jazz fans are not as sane as I thought.
LOL I was watching that stream at that time but instead my already low opinion of Jazz fans was just confirmed. Not that they are necessarily bad people or whatever, but c’mon…seriously? Homer much?
Having the poll in itself is ridiculous, but then to vote Rondo ahead of Paul by a big margin? I just hope that was a bunch of idiot kids texting in votes and not real Jazz fans. Harpring seemed to kind of disagree with it and said to “consider how good Chris Paul would be in Boston” so I’m hoping that maybe a lot of Jazz fans do know what’s up. But you don’t really have to “consider how good Chris Paul would be in Boston” you just have to watch him play.

The one thing I haven't read about
was why Keith Smart pulled Biedrins out early in the 3rd, and then subbed him back in a few minutes later.
Interesting
but it looked like he actually sat back down on the bench for those few minutes.
by IQofaWarrior on Nov 6, 2010 12:27 AM PDT up reply actions
Felbot gave an alternatve answer to this question
But there was one thing that Keith Smart did in this game that pleased me enormously. It was when he removed Andris Biedrins from the game a scant minute into the third quarter, in order to take care of business. And at 10:25, on the Warriors first possession after his insertion, Dan Gadzuric took care of business. He ran to the free throw line and intentionally flattened Raja Bell. Oh yes he did. And then Andris Biedrins came back in.
Thank you, Keith Smart.

The rebounding is so incredible
I almost teared up. Beautiful basketball. So this is what a well-coached team looks like!
Wow, we are THIRD in the Western Conference
The only time I see that in the past was in preseason.
what about that one season when we started 12-6?
I don’t think it ended very well…I’m wary of good starts.
Let's see
that would be the 2005-06 season. We finished 34-48. I think that was the season where Baron wasn’t getting along with Mike Montgomery. And yes, our season could also fall apart later on, especially if teams start to figure out how to beat us. But for now, it feels pretty good. Cautiously good, anyway.
by IQofaWarrior on Nov 6, 2010 12:38 AM PDT up reply actions
By the way, I strongly disagree with people picking Curry over Biedrins and Monta. Monta, for example, had excellent defense against a much tougher defensive assignment in D. Will. D. Will had 8 TO’s, while Monta had 7 steals. He also had 4 rebounds to Curry’s 1. While Curry was awesome in the 4th, and that was incredibly exciting, we wouldn’t have been in the game at all if it wasn’t for Monta. He did so much work. Biedrins, of course, played with a huge heart, pulling down 20 boards. Incredible game for all three, though. Such a great game.

Just saw as many highlights...
….as i could of this game since i didn’t watch/go tonight.
And can someone who saw it, or preferably was there, tell me their impression on Coach Smart’s getting into Lee’s ear? What was that about?
From not seeing the game and knowing for sure, i really liked seeing Smart feel his coaching oats right there. I’m guessing it was defensive related with Lee.
And from the other games, i’ve liked Smart’s sub patterns. He’s not stubbornly sticking with guys because they’re “his guys,” he’s going by need (how much starters are struggling or in foul trouble, or just not matching up,) and he’s going by hot hands staying in. Nothing worse than a formulaic coach, and Smart seems not to be that. Good thing.
I think it’s really important for a new coach to be able to yell at players. As they know, it’s not personal (and Keith Smart is such a nice person off the sideline you have to know that.) Smart has to establish being his own man/coach early on, and even if it’s just public perception, it’s good. I’m fairly sure Lee understands and is cool with it.
I think Keith Smart yelled at him
for not making his shots, or maybe not running back or something like that. David Lee yelled back at him too, possibly saying something like “I was fouled”. That’s the best guess I have based on what I’ve read. Whatever it was, both Smart and Lee knows it wasn’t personal.
From the post-game transcripts
Lee
He told me I needed to finish inside. I told him I thought I got fouled. We had it out for a second. He knows how much I respect him.

You know, looking at the highlights by gumbyorpokey right now
I have a feeling it was more of a mistake on the defensive end. Keith Smart didn’t get up and yell until David Lee left Jefferson in the midpaint to help Gadz guarding Millsap under the basket. That gave Millsap an easy pass to Jefferson for a midpaint floater.
My guess is that Lee was NOT supposed to leave Jefferson and was NOT supposed to help on Millsap. The fact that Keith Smart hopped up so mad and called timeout suggests that Lee made this or similar mistake several times, or that the instructions were so clear and straight forward, that Lee’s mistake was blatantly obvious. This makes more sense to me because the alternative explanation is that Smart got upset at Lee over just one mistake, and that doesn’t fit what I think I know of Smart’s personality.
i think what made smart angry
was that lee’s disappointment with the no call affected his defense. That and the body language he displayed afterward. You can’t have one of your leaders pouting during defense, or getting late to rotation while arguing a call

I watched it on DVR (after watching it in person), and it was a botched dunk attempt. Lee was open, took a pass, the defense closed in and fouled him. Lee missed the dunk and yelled at the refs. Smart, to me, appeared to be mad at Lee partly for blaming the refs, when Lee should have made it with or without a foul.
The Golden Glow is the only way to reach the upper level.
that's what I thought
I haven’t watched it again, but I thought Lee was angry about a foul and didn’t take well to Smart laying into him at that time.
I am so glad to hear they are all adults and can move on. I’m sure the press and fans reliving every detail can make that hard, but we finally seem to have leaders with emotional intelligence on this team. Yeah.
Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
Thought it was because Lee didn't get back on D because he was complaining for foul
Remember the Utah announcers bringing it up (was watching utah feed). During the game, they mentioned Smart yelling @ Lee this is the NBA & you’re not gonna get every foul & run back for D.
Lee was just blocked & upset he didn’t get a foul call & delayed running back on D.
Lee yelled back at Keith Smart
After the game, Smart said he didn’t mind that Lee yelled back at him since his players “are grown men”. As long as they respect each other, he doesn’t mind.

There were about 5 or 6 occasions where I just said, “SHUT THE HELL UP FITZ!”
The whole getting surprised that we’re actually playing defense and outrebounding teams when we’ve been doing it for 4 of the last 5 games now is kind of annoying
'Like' my band. I mean, it'd be awesome if you did that.
Haha, only 5 or 6?
Maybe it’s just me, but I think I’ve had about all I can take of Fitz. He does a pretty good job I guess, but he’s always stepping on Jim’s job as an analyst. All the stuff I used to find somewhat charming or clever is just annoying now.
I’m not going to sit there and allow him to ruin a night of basketball for me, bit I agree. Honestly? I was sick of him when I found out he was just a Warriors organization mouthpiece. Now everything he says FEELS more homer than it did before, and I can’t listen to Fitz and Brooks at all.

"I tell him straight, 'If you're going to lead, you have to be the first to practice. You have to come in, get your work down and be prepared for practice,' " assistant coach Keith Smart said.

He needs to mimic that if he wants his teammates to speak volumes about him." -Keith Smart on Motna Ellis

And Reggie still hasn’t heated up. And Lin may be able to provide something at backup PG, maybe not til later, maybe not too long.

According to Keith Smart at the podium
He said BWright hadn’t been back to practice yet, so he wants him to have some practice time first. BWright would be going “straight from the bed to the floor”.
Curry's play the entire possession in his And1 basket was awesome.
He fought through two hard screens, got shoved a bit by Raja Bell and slipped, still ended up coming with the steal. Run the length of the court, and got the And1. Beautiful.

Dude, that’s what I absolutely loved about that play. Raja Bell tried to get into his head, and he got into RAJA’s head instead. Brushed his weak garbage ticky tacky dirty play off, left him, stole the ball, and made his whole team look silly afterwards. It was honestly clutch as hell.

Anyone else notice there are more..

Between Curry and Lee, throw in a Monta and some Andris, Dorell…men like the exciting brand of ball they play, women think they’re hot (and if they’re really fans, also like the exciting brand of ball they play.)
If the Warriors aren’t careful, they’re going to be the darlings of the league again here soon, but with a PR goldmine twist. If women hoops fans had a vote of “best looking starting five in the NBA,” i’m pretty secure in my manhood to say the Warriors would likely come out close to first place, if not there at the top.

-Lee being vocal and being hungry…it’s contagious.
-Gadzuric lending a BIG hand.
-We had more second chance points than the opponent?! WHU?
-Keith Smart standing up, yelling and actively coaching ALL 48 MINUTES.
-Monta, in a subtle way, let Curry do his thing in the 4th cuz he knew his own shot wasn’t hot tonight.
LGW.
I really don't remember the last time we won a slow, ugly low scoring game
It is VERY encouraging to see the team to win the track meets and the grind-it-out games.
Good rebounding will do that for you.
Winning a game this ugly is AMAZING
I don’t like to watch basketball like this, but it’s such a huge sign for the team to be able to hang in these games. In the past, we’d fold and let Utah pound us.
Maybe the Giants have inspired them
I have to say, this is the best Warrior TEAM I have seen in a long time. They may not have as much talent as the We Believe team or the 48 win team, but man, you have to love the way they play. If they could add a quality back up point, like CJ, insert you own swearing here, I think they could make some noise this year and battle for the last playoff spot. But just as I liked this years Giants team much better than the 2002 Giants, I like this team, including Keith Smart, much better than some past teams. And does anyone here think Don Nelson could have won the game last night the same way? Beans would have only played 20 minutes and had 10 rebounds.
This team seems to have a lot more talent than the we believe team to me...
by GovernorStephCurry on Nov 6, 2010 11:50 AM PDT up reply actions
We believe had talent and depth
We Believe team had an all-star level Baron, Beans was playing even better than he is now, Jackson had an amazing year, Harrington and Richardson were rounded out a very talented team. I believe that Curry will have a much better career than Baron, but Baron was as good as any point guard that year. Jackson was a 20 5 and 5 guy, plus good defense, D-Wright, as much as I like him, hasn’t done that for a year. Monta came off the bench and J Rich average 18. Beans was a double double machine that year and was a little more active. I hope he gets back to that. Only area that I think is improved this year, talent wise, is David Lee. And the We Believe team had a much deeper bench. But, much like the Spurs, I think a talented team like this one, can be better than the sum of their parts because they play like a team. I really think we have a shot of doing something special this year, not winning the championship special, but I think we can make the playoffs, call me crazy.
They may not have as much talent as the We Believe team or the 48 win team, but man, you have to love the way they play.
Really? Right now it’s looking like they have more talent than that team. Certainly a better starting five: Dorell + Lee is looking like a substantially better pair of forwards than the We Believe team had.. Monta is playing the best basketball of his career. And I’m not at all convinced that Baron was better than Curry. (The primary edge I’d be inclined to give Baron would be his sense of the moment, but last night Curry seemed to understand that vey well.)
And Biedrins seems to be playing much better defensively, despite the early-season fouling problem.
a quality back up point, like CJ, insert you own swearing here
[dang.]
I don’t really think of CJ as any kind of a point. He’s averaged 3.8 assists per 36 over his career — that’s like marginally better than David Lee. He’s a small, efficient scoring tweener guard who can’t really guard anyone (though he does force some steals). From what I’ve seen of him on the Bulls, he looks pretty crappy. With all due respect to onlxn: I’m totally OK with not giving 3/$10M (i.e. Dorell Wright money) to CJ Watson.

You might be right....
Reggie isn’t a back up PG, though he is good at having the offense run through him a few times a game. I just remember last year, in our system, CJ was a spark off the bench. He played the passing lanes well, brought a lot of energy, was a shoot first point guard, but he as a good ball handler for 15 minutes a game off the bench. He could initiate the offense. It is possible CJ was a product of Nelson’s system, seems like Morrow isn’t playing as well in NJ, but I still would feel more comfortable with him on the bench instead of Charlie Bell or Lin. Lin won’t be ready for another year or two.
I think Reggie does fine as a backup for both Curry and Ellis, as long as either Curry or Ellis are in. We’ve also seen Jeremy Lin do some interesting things coming in, due to his energy and apparent BBIQ. In road games, I think he’ll play a few minutes every game.
Also, CJ isn’t doing so well for the Bulls this year. I think we’re good without him.
The Golden Glow is the only way to reach the upper level.
Yeah, I know it’s the road, but looking at the competition, I’ll be mildly disappointed if we go 3-2, and very disappointed with 2-3 or worse. I’ll accept a loss on the back-to-back v. Chicago, but win the rest, please.

You can't win every game you "should" win on the road.
But yeah, a lot of these games are looking winnable. I agree with you that 2-3 will be pretty disappointing.
Can you believe we are talking about being disappointed with a 2-3 road trip?
This makes me a very happy Warriors fan. Last year, we would hope they would come home with one victory.
Games like this show off the non-basketball side of Lee's acquisition
No doubt Coach Smart played a role in this too, but Lee’s arrival has definitely helped bring a culture change to this team. One thing you never heard about Lee when he was a Knick was that he ever gave less than 100% effort at either side of the floor. It looks like this is rubbing off on his young teammates and came at basically the perfect time. Monta is finally maturing, Curry is dealing with increased expectations in his sophomore campaign, Biedrins confidence was in tatters after Nellie. The change reminds me of when KG was traded to Boston and changed the whole image of the team (Pierce and Allen gaining reputations as solid defenders for the first time of their careers, accelerating the development of Perkins and Rondo, and Glen Davis actually gaining a career). If Lee’s effect is anywhere close to that on a team that is much younger, GS could be pretty dangerous over the next couple of years.
No comparison, Kevin Garnett is a 7 foot center who can hit jumpers from 3-point range
David Lee is a scrappy 6’-9" power forward. Idk why the GM would pay so much for him.
Believe it or not, there are plenty of 6-9 forwards in the NBA who can hustle and crash the boards. He does not come with the low post moves or defensive shot blocking that would put a franchise over the top. He’s a great rebounder … but that’s about it.
Believe it or not, there are plenty of 6-9 forwards in the NBA who can hustle and crash the boards
Yeah, but not very many who do it anywhere close to as well as he does.
Also not very many who score with the combination of efficiency and volume that he does.
And not very many who pass as well as he does.
Yeah, rebounding, “that’s about it.”
Kevin Garnett is a 7 foot center who can hit jumpers from 3-point range
LOL. Kevin Garnett has made three 3-pointers total over the past three years. Count ’em.
David Lee is a better offensive player than today’s Kevin Garnett — straight up. He scores at a higher volume with better efficiency, and is just as good a passer.
You’re talking out of your [hat].

Exactly. It remains a mystery why people keep insisting upon the relevance of a team with a mobile MedEvac full of players (including Biedrins), a rookie PG, a miserable Monta, a forward tandem of Maggs/Tolly/Devean George, bad uniforms, a clueless owner, and a lazy drunk head coach with personal grudges against half the players.

An MT2 article that brings more details about what Lee and Smart were yelling at each other about.
great add that says a lot about both Lee and Smart
we are super lucky to have both of them – so glad we dumped Nellie
Not to hate, but can you imagine how AR would have responded to Smart tearing into him like that in the middle of a close game if AR screwed up?
Also, if Smart is telling his player to be men, take criticism like adults, play hard for 48 minutes and don’t let the drama linger – maybe this explains why BWright may not be his favorite warrior at the moment
excellent link, thank you for adding
Short dialogue blurbs were so informative. Smart & Lee both come across as winners. So happy to have such quality guys to root for.
A little late, but added
