Sadly this is not Yao's year. (pic via www.fwallpapers.net)
Jump because it can only get better than Saturday night's sloppy, boring, and bad loss to the Trail Blazers in Portland!
Yaozers- The global and local influence of Yao Ming
It pains me that the hoops gods have not been kind to Yao Ming. Yao has been great for the NBA. Sure he hasn't always been the most entertaining player to watch with his slow pace and sometimes mechanical offensive moves, but more than being a great center, he has served as a great ambassador for the association. It is next to impossible for a non-soccer or cricket sport to cultivate any fandom in the Indo-China region where 3/5 of the world lives (okay I'm exaggerating the number there, but it's huge- overpopulation will do that), but thanks to Yao Ming basketball and the NBA are popular in China. Even here in the United States Yao has done a ton for Asian America. I remember in the Spike Lee joint Sucker Free City the main Chinese protagonist said to his kid brother something along the lines of "You can play hoops. You can do it. Yao Ming dunked on Shaq. Remember that."
I hope it's not the end Yao, but if it is thanks for the classiness- and I will remember the funk on Shaq.
Matchups
Coaching
Here's my bold statement of the day: Rick Adelman is the most underrated coach in NBA history.
Edge: Rockets
Point Guard
Until Stephen Curry comes back this is a point of weakness for the Dubs. The more time Monta spends at the point, the more the Warriors are playing to his weaknesses. Acie Law and Reggie Williams are not the answer as starters at the point either. For the Rockets the Aaron Brooks (a bonafide Warrior Killer last season) and Kyle Lowry (solid defense) duo isn't spectacular on most nights, but they're steady and they're good enough to get the job done.
Edge: Rockets (if Steph's gone)
Shooting Guard
Here's one debate that I'd like to resurface from the Warriors and Kings Northern California mini-rivalry (and when I say mini I really do mean mini because of its inconsequence in the larger NBA landscape): Monta Ellis vs Kevin Martin. They're both big time scorers (Monta 24.5ppg, Martin 23.2ppg) who have played on a lot of losing teams. Even though Monta is what you'd call a striker and Martin is what you'd call a shooter, Martin actually gets to the line much more often (8.5 FT attempts to Monta's 5.9). I've always found it a bit uncanny how Martin draws so many shooting fouls on jumpers. Watch him get to the line at least 10 times tonight and explode for 30 points. Monta should get 30 as well, but his will come from a less efficient variety. Truth be told, I'd trade Monta for Kevin Martin straight up, but that could simply be a grass is greener thing and more than that it probably wouldn't change much record-wise for the Dubs.
Edge: Rockets
Small Forward
It's Shane Battier versus Dorell Wright. I'll take D Wright Stuff this evening. He's more of a threat to score and he's already had 4 double-doubles this season.
Edge: Warriors
Power Forward
Luis Scola is another certified Warrior Killer. I'd estimate that David Lee is about 65% right now. 'nuff said.
Edge: Rockets
Center
Chuck Hayes is yet another Warrior Killer featured on this roster (actually now I'm starting to get scared). This 6'6 big man can randomly morph into Charles Barkley when he faces the Warriors. I have no idea why. I'd love to see Louis Amundson show us what's he got, but he seems to be coming back to form from injury fairly slowly. I was expecting Amundson to make Andris Biedrins expendable by this time of the year, but he hasn't.
Edge: Rockets
Bench
Once again, I just won't go there.
Edge: Rockets
Predictions
- Monta Ellis drops 30.
- Kevin Martin drops 30 more efficiently than Monta.
- Louis Scola goes off for 25-12.
- Dorell Wright gets a double-double.
- David Lee gets only his second 20-10 game of the season.
- The Rockets looked gassed on the second night of a back-to-back road trip.
- This game is not nearly as sloppy, boring, and bad as Saturday's outing in Portland.
- Warriors by 5.

Monta at point
def hurts us. we need to get the ball out of his hands if we want to up his efficiency. he used to score efficiently but its cuz he got many more easy buckets. i feel like he doesnt leak out anymore. he’s always coming back to get the ball. the only fast breaks he gets nowadays are from steals. david lee is a good outlet passer (well at least he tries) and we have some other people who can handle so leak out monta!

Curry is likely out for this game
He’s itching to come back for the @Kings game, but he might just take it off and give his ankle 5 more days to rest until the Christmas game this Saturday. Neither Biedrins nor Gadz practiced today. I don’t expect them to be available for this game, nor the @Kings game the next day. That way, they also have the whole week to rest up. At least Carney looks like he can play.
These injuries aren’t quite as severe as the ones we had last season. We’re not at the level where we’re anxiously waiting for X-ray and MRI results, and we’re not sending players to the hospital for surgical procedures while we call up priests and rabbis to try to get the players to heal faster. Even still, I’m getting an inkling of that “here we go again” feeling, at least for the next two of games.
well maybe, just maybe
this week of rest can end up in a nice christmas present for all of us. And yeah, in the past 3 years i cant remember if theres been a stretch of 20 games where everyones been healthy and played.

Rest That Ankle!!!
I know Warriors basketball is hard to watch without Curry (who am I kidding? it’s hard to watch with him too) but he needs to rest that ankle as long as possible. We’re not going anywhere this year (pending a blockbuster trade) so we might as well play it safe with our franchise player.

About Monta and Andris
Given the fact that your hate for Andris is beyond ridiculous by now and we don’t really have to take it serious in any way, I still am amazed how consistent you are with your gimmick here. Props for the entertainer in you.
If you really guessed that Amundson would make our starting center expendable you should start with basketball all over again. Even if you suggest putting Lee on center and let Amundson play 4 you cannot be serious with your assessment here.
Martin maybe a more efficient scorer but his defense is so atrocious that Monta looks like all defense material in comparison. This isn’t even close. So like Martin’s scoring chops as much as you want but you would never want him on your team if you plan to win a lick.
That all said, I like most of your post and I am no on the ABO hatewagon.

Sorry, I would never trade Ellis for KMart
His defense is awful
You know I spit technique to the freshest freak
Gimme a call you will see results in just a week
With the soul of a LOST HAWK
Is there a heaven for a Rap Cat, let's talk
Kevin Martin has an incredible skill
it’s called “getting to the line”
His 0.630 TS% is one of the best in the league. You know, only about 90 points higher than Ellis.
Monta's TS%
Is not that bad either in this season. Granted that Martin is better in this respect Monta still is the way better defender (really awkward to say something like this) and doesn’t get hurt that often (unless he mopeds of course). Martin has bones of glass.
So it is Monta over Martin for me.
"It really is a choice of whatever rotten fruit you fancy least." (Kelly Dwyer about NBA Franchise owner)
Is not that bad either in this season.
Ok, we must have different ideas of “not bad”. Monta’s TS% is 0.543. That’s about 87 points lower than Martin.
hey Evanz
how do you feel about the PER stat?

Around here...
Most folks around here don’t use it much because they feel it rewards volume scorers even if they have high scoring totals at the cost of efficiency. There is a technical flaw in the formula that allows this, but I don’t know what it is off the top of my head. Jae and others have posted about it quite a bit in past years.
the guy who created PER is John Hollinger
who obviously works for ESPN now.
The formula, itself, is incredibly complicated. I’ve never fully grasped all the terms, to be honest. It’s good to contrast PER with WP. The former overvalues volume scoring, but the latter probably overpenalizes it (from the analysis I have done).
this game is really a toss-up
We win if we play well.
That’s no lock though, especially tonight.
No Beans, No Gadz…Lee starts at C, Lou gets the nod for starting PF; Monta is going to run the point again..yuck
Go ahead and keep bashing Monta and his TS%…he’s really all we got though

-BayGiant11
Go ahead and keep bashing Monta and his TS%…he’s really all we got though
“All we got” in what respect? Are you saying he’s the only scoring option?
I’d say he’s definitely a reason to watch for entertainment value. As much as I get irritated with his judgment at times, he’s good for a couple get-up-out-of-your-chair plays a night.
At this point, my Warriors fan-ness is stretched thin
Not saying that he is our only scoring option…just kinda sick of watching his efficiency get shot down while Smart continues to rely way too heavily on him. I would love for Monta to back off and play wiser, but that doesn’t seem to be in the cards this year.
Monta may not be our only scoring option, but he is treated that way too often…I just think we as fans should give some credit to him for how often he is called on. That’s why I’m not so critical of his efficiency. And that’s also why I think it’s a tad unfair to bash him on it. Yes, we do have other options, but I keep seeing these other options defer the ball to Monta
My analogy is that Monta is like a sports car. You don’t take that to work every day (you want a nice, reliable, fuel-efficient car for that) and then complain about the gas mileage. that’s what is happening with Monta, we are just asking waaaaaay too much of him, and then he gets criticized for not carrying the team more efficiently

Interesting
I can agree with a lot of what you said there. It shouldn’t be a surprise that Monta isn’t succeeding in his current role. I do think he’d be playing better with a healthy Curry alongside him and a better coach running the offense. I don’t want to bash him, but he is still responsible for his performance out there. If he’s not playing well, and the team is deferring to him too much, maybe he needs to do something about it. Passing up bad shots would be a great start.
Yeah no big surprise with monta
But I guess that’s part of the disappointment, would be really nice if he stepped up his game significantly
Whatevs
Let’s get a win!!!

Thanks for giving a shout out to Yao
He is in fact one of the classiest players. And he gave support to Jeremy Lin.
Truth be told, I'd trade Monta for Kevin Martin straight up
Stopped reading there. Some fans we have.
Really?
Are you a Monta fan or a Warriors fan? I don’t think it’s unusual to hope for upgrades on your team’s roster. I agree with Atma that it wouldn’t be a big franchise changing move, but both guys are primarily scorers and frankly Martin has been much better at scoring for his career. Monta might be a bit more well rounded, but Martin is definitely the better scorer.
KMart is a worse defender than Monta
And Monta isn’t a good defender to begin with.
I really think KMart is a glorified Corey Maggette. Wow he puts up good numbers efficiently, and really doesn’t do much to help his team win cause every other aspect of his game is poor and more or less neglected.
Would I mind KMart? No, he’s good at what he does but I still think Monta has much higher upside as a player in a good team. Something we do not have.
Just my two cents.
Defense...
I agree with you on defense, but I think the scoring advantage would be bigger than the defensive liability. Martin also rebounds better and turns the ball over less, which are really important things to be good at. Monta is way more fun to watch, and I’m more fond of him, but I’d do the swap if it’s my job to improve the team.
I’d like to look into how big the difference in their defense is. Maybe I’d spend some time on Synergy watching some examples of how they handle different situations on defense. My general sense is that Monta is a bit better, but 82games actually has Martin as the better defender at SG by Opp eFG% and PER. It’s something I’d like to look into further before making a judgment, but I’m not sure the difference is as big as you might think.
When refs stop calling Martin's flops
his game SIGNIFICANTLY declines. He is not good at creating his shot and gives up more points than he scores.
Like "when" the refs stop calling Lebron's travels?
The Golden State Warriors, we make Free Throws look difficult!
by Badly Browned on Dec 20, 2010 7:11 PM PST up reply actions
See I'm just not ready to give up on Monta like you are
I am more than willing to trade him for a real upgrade, but I don’t see Martin as one. Might give us a more efficient offense but makes us even worse on defense. The difference in wins won’t be much if anything.
Moving forth, I really do think Monta on a better team will score even more efficiently than his 2007/8 season. Why? 2 main reasons…..
1) He is a much more versatile player than he was then. He can hit 3s, he gets to rim just as efficiently as a #1 option as he did as a 2/3rd., and in general he’s got more variety to his game.
2) Because he won’t be the focus of the defense. I’m aware Monta won’t ever be Durant, Lebron or a lead star. But how many of those are there really? Now could you imagine Monta opposite a Lebron or a Dirk Nowtiski. The guy teams gameplan for. No one in the NBA can stop Monta 1 on 1. It’s only now when he’s got double teams and total focus he turns poor.
To sum it up….. I’m tired of watching this franchise continually trade more talented players for ‘safer bets’. NBA is the most talent driven of all the major leagues. Aside from Detriot in 2004, can you think of team who has won without a combo of top 10 players in nba, often top 5.
Hmm...
I’m not talking about giving up on him. We just don’t agree on how good Monta/Martin are.
I wouldn’t be upset if we swapped those players, but I wouldn’t be all that excited about it either. It doesn’t sound like you really comprehended my posts.
ok
I get what you’re saying now.
I guess I just disagree that KMart would do anything to make the Warriors significantly better.
Actually...
I don’t even know if it would be significant, but I do think he’s a bit better. The funny part was Monta scored amazing tonight, but his defense looked worse than Martin’s. Kinda ironic considering our discussion.
by olympicmike on Dec 20, 2010 10:01 PM PST up reply actions
ha
Truth.
I also think KMart has less upside, which might be a ppoint we disagree on. Warriors won’t be a playoff team/deep challenging team without a superstar. I doubt either of these two players give us the gift of a ‘sup-a-sta’ but Ibelieve Monta in the context of a better team where he is the number 2 option would be better.
upside...
I tend to think as both guys as a finished product.
I’ll repeat, I would definitely rather watch Monta though.

Predicting a loss.
Unlike us, the Rockets are actually playing well.
Disagree with a lot of what you said, whether it benefited us or hurt us.
Mainly:
Monta v. Martin
Wright v. Battier
The Lakers have a bigger chance of missing the playoffs than the Warriors have of making them.
rockets
won seven of 10 games this month, including four of the last five
won 10 of the last 11 meetings with Golden State

Monta v. Martin matchup
Someone pointed out to me that the Rockets have steadily been going downhill (or just tanked in general) after they acquired Martin. I guess it really is a grass is greener type thing: Monta a tad more efficient, while Martin is a little bigger, gets to the line more…
In the end I’d still probably take Monta. If this Warriors offense got any less dynamic I’d shoot myself.

How do you figure? Martin is way more efficient, and it’s not even close.
Not going by stats or anything
Martin is known around the league as a volume scorer, but I guess Monta is a volume scorer with a slightly higher FG%. Monta perhaps not the greatest distributor, but better than Martin in that department as well. I equate both guys as being black holes but Warriors homerism still makes me slightly value Monta over Martin.

You should look at them...
Maritn is not known as a volume scorer… Monta is.
On average, it takes Monta more shots to get the same number of points as Martin.
If you want to know who scores efficiently, just look at TS%. It won’t tell you everything about a player, but it will definitely tell you who is more efficient. Unfortunately FG% doesn’t tell you how many of those shots are worth three points, or how often that player gets to the line.
True
Still thinks TS knocks players who don’t shoot the 3 regularly like Monta

I’ll actually give this game to the Dubs in a surprising effort.

-Monta turns it over a lot again because we lack a PG (thanx Larry!). Also Kyle Lowry is an excellent defender
-KMart will go for atleast 30 points. Atleast 15 fta’s
-Reggie will take advance of KMart’s terrible D and put up 20
-Dorell will hit atleast 5 three’s and I’ll regret not starting him in fantasy tonight
-Scola will go above 20/10
-Chase Budinger will kill us off the bench.
-Udoh with block of the night, and as great as it will be, Fitz will ruin it by talking about it 4billion times.
idiotic statement of the day/week/month/year/millenium.....
I was expecting Amundson to make Andris Biedrins expendable by this time of the year, but he hasn’t.
untold levels of fail in that sentence
Predictions
- Monta goes for 30, 5 ,5 and 5 (turnovers)
- Ekpe plays 10 minutes and gets a block
-Reggie goes for 30
-Kmart goes for 35
-Lee and Scola both play terrible defense
- Hayes gets a double double
"There is nothing like a wise phrase or quote to help convince others that your decision makes sense." - Anon

Yeah these sound pretty solid
Maybe not 10 mins for Ekpe though &
Maybe more than 5 TOs for the Monta

- not playing Lee at Center, even on Portland game when they have no true center
- not playing Udoh, at all
- not playing Lin, at all
- playing Monta as PG
- play Law more than Lin, even when Lin has better per minute stats
- playing William as PG
- not playing William as SF in small ball, where William score lotta points when he plays SF (and make Law looks good). Smart played 0 min William at SF at Portland game.

what does it mean?
Well, among other things, it means we don’t shoot or defend very well, we don’t go to the line enough, we foul too much, and our defensive rebounding is poor. Our offensive rebounding is good and we force a lot of turnovers, but those two factors are not as important to winning as shooting well and defending well.
Bottom line: we need players that shoot more efficiently and defend better.

The players can’t even run decent fast breaks or shoot free throws, it’s almost expected they can’t run basic half court plays really lol.

Wow so many names are coming back to me right now…
noooo
if i was a bandwagoner i wouldn’t like the Warriors right now, lol
One of my favorite teams was with Larry Smith and Chris Mullin
In the playoffs, seemingly every year against the Jazz, We put Larry Smith on Karl Malone and Chris Mullin on Mark Eaton

I think Reggie made a mistake on that loose ball
Once Battier had the ball, Reggie should have returned to a defensive position instead of try to reach around for the steal
I like how Monta's learning to draw contact
How can you want to trade this guy. He adds to his game every day. If we had a star and he was our #2 option…. 50+ wins

any trade for a star would more than likely include Monta though

Getting back to an earlier topic...
It’s only one half, but to my eye Martin’s D has looked much better than Monta’s.
Fouls
Monta looks scared to pick another up, even when he drove in a couple times on a fast break he purposely pulled away from the defender

"If you're ever in a fair fight, then your tactics suck." ಠ_ಠ
If it's fouls...
he’s not handling it very well. If you have foul trouble, you stop gambling, but you still have to keep good position on D. You can’t let your guy get by you that much. We are actually lucky it hasn’t hurt us more.
Every year, Ekpe sends the IRS a photo of himself, crouched and ready to attack. Ekpe has never had to pay taxes.

Lets take the positive from this game
Ekpe Udoh looks like he has a TON of upside. I’m incredibly excited to look at future lineups involving him. Also knowing that if we lost Beans, we have at the very least a legit big man who can fill up the lane, block shots, board and post up. We know that he is a big part of our future and we have to learn from this loss.
Shut up, just shut up. You had me at "cure for Cohan".
Yeah another losing season
it’s good to have Udoh’s development to look forward to
honestly though
If we packaged Biedriens with BWright and others we could get a legit star to put alongside some young talent

Smart needs to adjust his planning to the players he has
It’s all well and good to say you want to make the team more defensive, but when all your talented players are liabilities on defense and skilled on offense, you might just want to plan your strategy around that. It takes time and transactions to transition from a running team to a conventional team. Heck, the Suns couldn’t really do it when they tried and they had more talent.

The crowd at Oracle is amazing. I wish we could get that for a Monday game.
I love Curry as a player, but I have to say I’m glad he wasn’t playing tonight. Ellis was quite enough. How the man makes so many contested 22ft shots, I’ll never know. The D wasn’t even that bad most of the time.
Udoh is going to be just what you guys need. He’s the real deal on defense and the boards. He doesn’t need to score except cleaning up garbage – he’ll get 12-14 a night just off that.
