Postgame Quotes and Stuff from warriors.com recap
Keith Smart
On tonight's game:
"We didn’t have the necessary energy that we needed to play at a very high level tonight. So we’ll move on to the next game. You see the Hawks athleticism on television. They play at a high level, they’re battle tested, and they’ve gone through wars. I think not having enough size hurt us tonight. Nevertheless, we were in the game for long periods of time, but quick shots and turnovers cost us."
"Another thing that hurt us tonight was turnovers, and the time they happened. In addition one time we took five straight jump shots on five possessions, and we turned the ball over twice as well. The timing of the offensive rebounds and turnovers is what hurt us most."
On play of Monta Ellis, Stephen Curry and Dorell Wright:
"Some nights (Monta's) just not going to have it. Guarding bigger guys will take some of his energy on nights like this. But Dorell (Wright) played well. But Stephen Curry being out for a long time hurt him with his conditioning. It’s like pre-training camp all over again. They’ll get there, but I think we’ll be on a positive note by the end of the road trip."
Monta Ellis
On tonight's game:
"We made a few mistakes, but we were still in the game and had a chance to win. They hit a couple of shots at the end of the game. I wouldn’t contribute it to a lack of energy. They just made a few plays at the end of the game. Dorell played wonderful tonight and had a double-double. We just didn’t give him any help tonight. We have to have more of a team effort. Even when our shots don’t fall, we have to do the little things."
Dorell Wright
On his performance:
"It was important for me to pick up for those guys. I was hot. They kept going to me, and they kept finding me. The Hawks jump all over the place. Usually it’s one guy you have to worry about, but tonight we had to worry about several. We just came up short. That’s all."
Stephen Curry
On tonight's game:
"I tried to fight though my sickness and push the tempo. Coach did a good job managing my minutes so I would have enough left for the fourth quarter. Atlanta is really patient, and they forced us to make decisions and while we tried to force them to shoot some tough shots with the shot clock winding down, (Mike) Bibby made a couple of big ones for them."
Interesting Tweets
(after the game)
gswscribe: If only Dorell Wright had some help tonight ...
heimy25: @gswscribe Before this season started, did you ever think you'd be saying that?
gswscribe: Never! Lol RT @heimy25: Before this season started, did you ever think you'd be saying that?
Notes
- David Lee's elbow still "looks" bad, but "feels" better, almost no pain. He does not yet have full strength on the arm though.
- Stephen Curry was playing through flu-like symptoms. He said it might have set his conditioning status back a little bit.
What's next?
- The next game @Bobcats will close out the calendar year of 2010. Be aware that the game starts at NOON, Pacific time.

I completely missed this game. :(
The boxscore tells me that Horford and Smith dominated while our best interior defender played 5 minutes, and our team allowed way too high of a FG% to have a chance on the road. My guess is that the game was pretty boring to watch as well, Atlanta games usually are.

No idea
why Brandan Wright even got minutes. Is Smart even serious about winning?
Why was Curry randomly taken out. Keep him in, let him get a rhythm offensively.
Did you read Curry's quote above?
“I tried to fight though my sickness and push the tempo. Coach did a good job managing my minutes so I would have enough left for the fourth quarter”
Sigh, this is what sucks about early games
Nothing’s available yet. So I’ll check back in an hour or two.

sprained his ankle…might be out when we play the Hornets.

WHYYYYY
Why did Smart keep on yo-yoing curry?
Why did Carney play 0 minutes?
Why did B-Wright play any minutes against a team with this kind of interior? Especially at center…
Why did Law get 0 minutes?
Why don’t we have a new coach yet??

also
why do we keep starting Amundson? Should be pretty clear that Udoh along side Lee gives far better results.
At least let Amundson fight against the backups…he gets destroyed against starters.

Why would any loss surprise GSW fans when its the same way in losing
turnovers, mistakes and poor offensive plays/schemes/judgement.
As far as the coach
He does not play certain people enough while over-playting other people. We know he is trying to find units that click, but sometimes, it is better to not have this mental idea that certain players are better than they really are.
B Wright = BUST
Carney = Never could be considered a “has been” cuz he never was that good to begin with.
Amundsen = why the heck is he still on the roster when D-League players are better?
Udoh = from what I have seen, play him more with the 1st unit.
Reggie Williams = needs more minutes and needs to be way more aggressive
Monta – quit being stupid and choking when it counts
Curry = needs to play, play and play
D. Lee = over-rated and over-paid
Biedrins = Never gonna “pan out”
Damn, Wish GSW landed Amare……….No college player can even come close to AMARE, not even that LA Clipper kid….
We'll have to see what Larry Riley does about coach.
BWright = Could have had Joakim Noah. Could have had Joakim Noah. Could have had Joakim Noah…
Carney = What u get when u trade 2nd round picks for cash
Amundsen = Solid defensive backup @ C
Udoh = Needs to play more for conditioning and b/c he’s doing well
Reggie = Trade him and Bell to Chicago for Ronnie Brewer to help with perimeter ‘D’
Monta = Our best player who uses physical play to make up for low b-ball IQ
Curry = Needs to get back in shape
DLee = Does better without Biedrins
Biedrins = Trade bait for Dwight Howard in 2012
Amar’e = Never would have agreed to come to GS. Same with Melo. Same with any top tier FA until GSW make playoffs
Blake = I rather have DLee for the Warriors, but would rather have DLee and Blake more

How are people criticizing Lou?
He played probably his best game in a Warrior jersey (offensively atleast)
because those people didn't see the game
Lou was great today, D Wright is also great. Curry, so many stupid pass and turn over. However, I like having Curry on the court because he keeps finding D Wright with open three, and allows Lou score tons. I think Curry will do much better if he focus more on passing than shooting. AKA, be more like Nash. Once Curry pass enough, he will find more open shots for himself because D has to assume he is passing.
B Wright was doing okay too. We just don’t have the size when we don’t have Beans and Gaz.

Curry
Curry only had 3 turnovers and 12 assists. And since he’s returned from his injury, he’s had 10+ assists in each game he’s played. He definitely needs to cut down on turnovers, but so does everyone else on this team. All of our starters had multiple turnovers except Lou, who didn’t play that much.
Well, there is always tomorrow. I will be watching Reno playing, at least they are wining
Tomorrow Lin & Whiteside .vs. Ebanks. Should be as exciting as playoff! :-D

Smart
had some bad rotations tonight. He keep taking Curry out when he was having a good 1Q along with Amundson. Carney didn’t play, Udoh didn’t play enough, and Vlad was in too long

"It’s frickin’ Sisyphean to be a Warriors Fan."
Also although
Curry had a few bad decisions, I like seeing the 12 assists. He wasn’t shooting the ball particularly well but he had a nice floor game and has been a better PG since coming back averaging 10 assits the last 3 games

Sad but not surprised
I stopped watching in the 3rd quarter. The hawks are a pretty good team. Seemed like once they got the lead early, they just kept us at arms distance.
Really makes Charlotte a must win game though… This road trip sounds rough. I am braced in crash position and looking forward to a nice string of home games
flying dunk for a 6'10, back flip, THEN THE NAP GESTURE!

What are you smoking?
And are you selling?
Seriously, no way we beat the Heat and Magic

I know Curry is passing but he needs to pass more
especially in pick and roll. Still seeing pick and roll and he takes the shot instead of passing. He needs to pass earlier in pick and roll. He always too late to pass and ends up a turnover or a difficult shot for himself.
by ILoveWarriorsGirls on Dec 30, 2010 12:26 AM PST reply actions
Turned it off in 2nd quarter
Can’t stand early games. I’m not in a mood to watch Warriors until 7:30
Who really expected a win tonight?
The Hawks are a good team, and they showed that tonight. Their frontline had us beat right from the tip off, scoring at will, and stopping penetration on the other end. Udoh looked a little lost out there, so was pulled. Amundson did a commendable job and really should have gotten more minutes. B. Wright made an appearance, but had little impact on the game. Monta didn’t look good at all; his ankle seems to really be bothering him. We’re going to need him on this road trip so here’s hoping he gets better soon. I’ve been really impressed with D. Wright’s play over the last few games. It’s like he’s reading GSOM. I’ve almost forgotten about how much I want Iguodala on this team.

The reality is that most teams would lose in Atlanta when missing both their centers.
This was a winnable game, though. We just make too many mistakes.
Sittin in my scraper watchin Oakland goin wild, ta-dow!
encouraged
by the fact that this was a winnable game. In Atlanta. Without our centers
still…we need to start picking up some wins, this bobcats game is huge

Scoring inside
Alarming fact is that Smart does not have the idea of improving our scoring inside. It is nice to have our wonderful guards, but in the end basketball is about scoring inside. Brandan and Udoh are both very high draft picks. They are talented. But it should be at least some efforts to develop their inside scoring abilities. Instead even Lee tries to score more from outside. Throw away this Nelson’s playbook. Play basketball.
Alarming fact is that Smart does not have the idea of improving our scoring inside.
What low post scorer do we have? Only David Lee and he’s NOT a back to basket player. Monta is probably our best post up player, which really says it all. We don’t have a post game.
Atleast with Lee in high post, we either open up lane for penetrators like Monta, Curry, Reggie or he can run the pick and roll and finish
Ekpe for ROY
Ekpe would be a real contender for ROY at this point if it weren’t for last years injury of that cheater Blake Griffin. Yes, I said cheater: watch the games – I’ve never seen such a cheater in post 90’s NBA basketball. The fact that he gets away with it really pisses me off. Anyway…

I wouldn't go that far, but who knows. Larry Riley's pick of Udoh is looking better and better. Udoh finishing ahead if Cousins is a possibility.
But he needs to get on the court. Play him!
