Well, I've got plenty of bad things to say about tonight's game, but it kinda seems silly seeing as I don't think anyone expected a great performance tonight. Was the coaching still bad? Sure. Was the bench still weak? Yup. Do all of Sleepy's list of 'almosts' from last night's recap still stand? Yes. We didn't really learn anything new about this team tonight. So what should we talk about?
We may not have learned anything new about the team, but that doesn't mean there weren't any surprises...Yes, there are thousands and thousands of uses for corn. All of witch I will tell you about right now!
The Bad Surprises:
- Steph Curry goes down in the second quarter after re-injuring his right ankle. I won't pretend to be a doctor, but as many could tell by my pre-game predictions, I wasn't all that comfortable with the condition of Curry's ankle after last nights game. With all the wheels coming of the wagon right now would it be a bad idea to just rest him until he's right?
- Vladimir Radmanovic was the only Warrior with a positive +/- tonight. I think I just threw up a little.
- Matt Bonner blocked two shots. No, really.
- The 'old' Spurs looked like the youthful WE BELIEVE Warriors, turning 21 Dubs turnovers into bushels of fast break points. I guess that one shouldn't really be a surprise, but I still can't get used to it.
The Good Surprises:
- Reggie got his groove back. One thing this team has been sorely lacking so far this season is scoring punch off the bench, and tonight Reggie Williams reminded us that he can score in bunches. Let's hope that tonight's performance is a sign of things to come. His 31 points helped the Warriors hang around longer than expected. Not that it mattered.
- The Warriors out-rebounded the Spurs. Not that it mattered.
- Tim Duncan only dropped 8pts and 5reb on us tonight. Not that it mattered.
- The refs actually called the same amount of personal fouls on the Spurs as they did the Warriors. Not that it mattered.
No Surprise:
The Spurs delivered a beatdown, and despite the Warriors hanging around for most of the game, it never really felt like the outcome was in question.
Reggie Williams
With 31 points on 11-16 shooting, including 8-10 from beyond the arc, I think it's safe to say that Reggie was in full effect tonight. Good job Mr. Potato Head. Not that it mattered...
So what did matter?

Harrison Barnes
"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

What will we do with Irving?
Waste a lottery pick on a 3rd guard for us? We don’t need him

Keith Smart takes the best pictures
It’s like he’s always ready with an awesome pose. Can’t wait for the next reaction to a bad play or call!

I think Reggie and Amundson are looking like the 6-7 guys right now.
Reggie in good form, Lou with the good energy.

I hope...
Curry isn’t the next Grant Hill, Tracy McGrady, Alan Houston, etc. I think you catch my drift.

I believe
The NBA schedule makers set certain teams up for losses and certain teams up for victories on purpose. Just because there are two teams in Texas doesn’t mean they need to be played on back to back nights. The NBA knows what it is doing.

maybe we can get the ONE pingpong ball....
not that we wouldn’t blow the first pick, but it would at least be exciting….basketball in the bay sucks….30 + years
Trade Sabean...

Don’t forget that DLee was out for about 10 of those games and we were rolling pretty good before he went down. We need to wait another month before making a final decision :>)

the schedule is bleak
right through 5 Jan.— two or three wins perhaps in that stretch. Lee appears in need of rest and rehab for the arm and is hardly likely to get much before mid-season. Without the five starters healthy the bottom of the descent could be in the realm of Death Valley, and serve to motivate the new owners into some dramatic changes/blunders.

i HATE to say it's time to tank...
but the results that we all want can only be gotten with Harrison Barnes or a blockbuster trade
Being a Warriors fan is like cutting yourself... without the cutting
i might even be onboard with renting Nash

i agree.. the wagon wheels are all falling offf right now DARNIT, whooooaaaa (slows the horses down to a stop)
hey CURRY….! get back here.. take a seat for a month… we are gonna tank now and we need you to get fully healthy so u dont COMPLETELY screw ur ankles up for life.. (or at least for our championship run in 3 years) (not to mention any trade value u may hold for us) ..
LIN…. you will now pull the wagons.. we will see what and who you REALLY are.. AND it will only take us one month to evaluate u too…. yes… thats right.. we have alot of eyes on u mate like hawks.. and not to mention some guys who excell at stats and WHAT NOT. show us what you got.. and make it snappy and impressive..
ELLIS! congrats ur not gonna get the scoring title this year.. and we arent gonna wear u out.. you will now only play 20 to 25 mins per night.. we dont want u hurtin ur self .. just keep ur stock value high and ur sharpness SHARP.. thats all good bye.
uDOH! get over here.. its time that u show us what u got… u are gonna play 35 mins a night for a couple weeks til we feel u can handle 45 a night.. for the rest of the year.. then we can make some decisions on what u willl do for us and where exactly ull fit in..
beans… u will fill in behind udoh for ten mins a night… the rest of the time u WORK ON UR FREE THROWS AND UR BABY HOOK and one back to the basket move thanks SEE YA.
Lee MR Lee.. you YOU you….. 25 mins a night… not a minute more.. we are tanking… SMART will take the heat for u and say he is trying to tweak our rotations to see what works best for us… dont worry bout ur stats just think about ur millions ur gonna make and be ready for next year… in the mean time LEARN HOW TO D UP BETTER.. and also meet with curry and ellis for one hour EVERY day and talk nothing but pick and ROLL
REGGIE.. was that you?? do u think u can do this more often ?

GADZ.. 40 minutes a night.. at the 4 and 5.. u may be here next year.. u may not.. but make the most..
SMART… hahahhah MR smart… you need to do what ur doin.. and do it worse… if u get slightly worse it wont look obvious.. it just wont…. admit it ur a decent guy but just not nba caliber coach.. dont feel bad.. there is only 30 in the world… ur not gonna be one next year… unless we should feel that tanking is our best option for one more year…. DONT GET any bright ideas.. or ingenious rotations or game plans..
LOTTERY BALLS u will obey us.. u have been very bad lately ….. maybe for the last ten years bad…. you WILL do what we want this time.. for once…. yes… u willl …. or u will be saught out and burned, heated up til u pop, stepped on, dragged to the bottom of the ocean till u implode, if u dont do what we say u willl DIE.. and be replaced..

Not just the length, but the misuse of ellipses and random capitalization that makes it hard to read. It looks like you don’t use any other punctuation.
I'll sell this vacant lot and settle down in a place I've only read about in books about Miles Davis.

Are any of the mods
going to fix the open thread? I want to read the rest of PMC’s preview.
