Oh boy. We've officially gone from bad to worse. After getting destroyed by Kevin Durant on Sunday, the Warriors have had a few days to sit and mull over their 5 game crap streak. Hopefully they've also come up with a game plan to put up a good showing against Houston, because this is a team that we haven't beaten in our last 9 meetings.
In short, I'm not expecting our little streak to come to a grinding halt tonight.
Well put Nellie.
Warriors (W-L): 13-33
Rockets (W-L): 25-22
Tip Off: 5:30 Pacific Time
TV: CSN, CSNHD
Radio: KNBR
Blog Buddy: The Dream Shake
Maybe there is hope. Houston does sit at the bottom of their divisional rankings (as do we) so technically this is crap on crap violence, right? I mean, ignore the fact that despite their rankings they still have a winning record after coming off of a dismal January. Also ignore the fact that their record still keeps them in the playoff race while our record, well... um... sucks.
So what do we have to do to win this thing? Well, one key would be to stop Luis Scola from embarrassing us like he usually does. For some reason, whenever we have matched up with Houston this season we've made this dude look like an All-Star. Secondly, yes, we need our scorers to produce. Defensively, we just aren't the team that is going to stop Houston from dancing in the paint on us. While that isn't exactly acceptable, the best thing we can do is make sure we are taking them down bucket for bucket. This means Steph, Monta, Maggs... everyone needs to have a relatively hot hand.
Let's cross our fingers here. This is a team we should be able to beat.
Should...
Predictions:
- Scola bags 15+ pts, 10+ boards
- Curry goes 20+ pts, 5+ dimes
- Turiaf gets mistaken for a homeless man, responds by getting 3+ swats
- Warriors by 1.

Anthony Morrow aka @BlackBoiPachino named to Rookie/Soph game for D.Rose
Also read: Derrick Rose to Miss All-Star Weekend’s Rookie Challenge/a>
Rose is excused because he had activities on all 3 days.
Think Morrow is the replacement because he’ll be there already for the 3pt contest?

Morrow can’t hang with Curry…especially with a recovering knee.
This is Kristin Kreuk, now zip it. - GTTM
All we need now
is for Morrow to be named a 3 pt shooter, and Monta to be named an All Star replacement for CP3, and life will be good. For that weekend.
Maggette
Is maggette playing or is he game time decision?

Game Predictions
- The Houston Rockets defeat our Golden State Warriors, 111-101.
- Monta Ellis leads the way with 29 points.
- Stephen Curry collects four steals.
- Luis Scola kills us on the glass.

Rockets!!!
Man you guys are crazy if you think the Warriors are going to pull this one out. We own the Warriors and to be quite honest, you caught us at a time where we desperately need a win. I’m liking the Rockets big tonight cause they know they need this one badly against a team we should definitely beat.

no way no how! i know my rockets, i’ve been right about all our games on this horrible homestand, and i’m happy to say i’m predicting favorably for us tonight! gl though, warriors are my 2nd fav team due to the fact they destroyed the mavs a few years back.
You aren’t the only one that thinks the Dubs will lose. 66% of people that voted in the poll agree with you and this is the Warriors’ site, which shows that confidence in our team isn’t exactly high right now.

Last year in Houston
One of my favorite Nellie moments came last year during a game @ Houston. Nellie was so drunk that he let Turiaf foul out with 10 minutes remaining…IN THE 3RD QUARTER!!
I’m sure we can expect similar quality coaching tonight.
maggette wil be OUT tonight
reported by CSN pregame
Thanks for the update IQ.
But…BLAH. this sucks.
Go Warriors still.

Morrow on the pregame show
he’s asked when he’ll be back. “soon”
I voted for "within 10"
But what I really mean is:
Get down by 15-20 in the 3rd, hang around there until the middle of the fourth, and put on a good 15-5 run in the final 6 minutes to make it a 7 point ball game at the buzzer. Go Warriors!
You have been DFiBrillated.

I thought Cartier was gone
so that we can have Karl
i know
it sucks that we no longer have cartier, who was supposed to be maggette’s backup, and now we need a maggette backup
Cartier is gone
because you are only allowed to give a guy two ten day contracts. After the second you either sign him for the reminder of the season or bye bye.

but that’s okay because it’s usually a good thing.

i know, he’s had some funky passes, like a weird left handed one in the last game, but they work!
i was listening to knbr last week and some nobody was getting an interview and he said
in typical fashion that the warriors will always shoot alot of three’s
we don’t even shoot alot
