Game Thread #49: Thunder @ Warriors -- Durantula Returns

Oklahoma City Thunder at Golden State Warriors, Feb 6, 2010 7:30 PM PST

Ain't no Durantulas in the D-league.

 

Warriors (W-L): 13-35

Thunder (W-L): 28-21

Tip Off: 7:30 Pacific Time

TV: CSN, CSNHD

Radio: KNBR 

Blog Buddy: Welcome to Loud City

 

Two games after beating the Warriors 112-104 at their place, the Thunder invade Oracle for a rematch, as -4 favorites.  The Thunder are on a roll, winners of four straight, with three quality teams -- Denver, Atlanta, and New Orleans -- joining the Warriors as their victims.  Kevin Durant is playing out of his mind, averaging 32.5 a game over his last 23 games to challenge Carmelo Anthony for the scoring title.

The Warriors are on a bit of a roll themselves.  In the opposite direction.  The Warriors have lost seven straight, and are only 1 game ahead of the Minnesota Timberwolves for the title of second-worst team in the league. The Timberwolves. O the ignominy!  So why do I like the Warriors chances in this game?  My sixth-sense tells me that Don Nelson has a little change-up cooking, and the Warriors are going to bring the heat.

Jump for matchup madness!

 

Star-divide

 

At 6-11', with guard-like skills, Durantula is one of the most unguardable players in the league.  But the Warriors have an unguardable player as well, the player Corey Maggette calls Mr. Incredible, Monta Ellis.  Three games ago against the Thunder, Monta was still rusty in his return from injury.  He no longer looked rusty putting up 46 against the Mavericks in the last game.  I expect Monta to bring it in this game, on both ends of the court.  Nellie uses him to guard Durant, and this is a good choice.  The best way to slow Durant down is to disrupt his dribble and deny him penetration, which is something Monta excels at.  If Durant starts missing from outside, the Warriors are in business.

Jeff Green hurt the Warriors badly in the last game.  Anthony Tolliver couldn't stay in front of him, which pulled Biedrins and Curry off their own men to give help.  I expect Nellie to change something up here.  Tolliver's minutes have diminished in the last two game, also against athletic fours (Landry and Nowitzki).  Nellie might start Turiaf at the four, as he did against Dallas.  But at some point I expect him to go to Devean George.  George played great defense against Nowitzki in the last game, and also shut down Carmelo Anthony in the fourth quarter of a previous game this year.  I think Nellie calls for the Deveanator on Green.

F9f1bd469a292ef84a49117a48611d71-getty-90043443_lm027_warriors_thunder_medium
What's the matter, kid... tired?

Curry appears to have hit the rookie wall hard, starting with the game in Oklahoma City, in which he went 4-10 with 5 turnovers and was pulled down the stretch.  Curry will have his hands full trying to keep Russell Westbrook out of the lane.  Westbrook shot 17 free throws in that last game.  With two days rest, I think Curry will do better in this game, and the Warriors as a team will do a much better job staying in front of their men.

Predictions:
  • Mr. Incredible vanquishes Durantula.
  • Biedrins completes the opening pick and roll, on the way to his best game of the season. 12 boards, 3 swats, 2 made FTs.
  • Mini-Malone feasts on the Thunder's soft chewy interior.
  • Curry comes off the respirator.
  • The Deveanator shuts down Green in the second half.
  • Coby Karl gets more minutes than Anthony Morrow.
  • CJ Watson gets a layup blocked.
  • Vlad Rad rocks the sidelines in a hideous T-shirt and jacket combo.
  • Take the points, the Warriors win.

Really???

Why?

Tolliver is a better option than almost anything else the Warriors have at PF for most games. He’ll have his ups and downs, but he’ll be more serviceable than Radman or even Mags with big minutes at the 4.

Coaches will keep working with him and now he doesn’t have to worry about going back to the D-League. I think the kid will have some very good games…

Beast

Kevin Durant LOVES playing against the Warriors.

07-08 (rookie season):
Last game vs Warriors – 42 points 13 rebounds 6 assists

08-09:
Game #1 – 41 points 10 rebounds
Game #2 – 25 points 10 rebounds 6 assists
Game #3 – 27 points 12 rebounds
Game #4 – 32 points 6 rebounds

09-10:
Game #1 – 28 points 9 rebounds
Game #2 – 45 points 11 rebounds

They need to limit Kevin Durant, he’s just an animal especially this season.

i recall fitz praising Monta's defense on Durant time and time again....

lets be fair. Game #1 this year Durant shot 9 for 24. I’ll take that. Now fact we sent him to line 8 times shows the defense wasn’t exactly bruce bowen-esque. OVerall 50.8 TS%. but Durant which i’ll take.

It ws more greens 9 for 16, 21 points and 13 boards that killed us….

Game Predictions
  • The Oklahoma City Thunder defeat our Golden State Warriors, 114-103.
  • Corey Maggette leads the way with 28 points.
  • Stephen Curry gets a block.
  • Kevin Durant outscores Monta Ellis while shooting a higher percentage.
  • Thabo Sefolosha records a season-high in something.

Some Tolliver quotes about the contract

“I tried not to think about (my contract) when I was on the court, but it is kind of impossible,” Tolliver said. "I wanted it so badly that I let it leak onto the court. I was tight when I shot it and I tried not to make mistakes, because I wanted to stick around so badly.

“Now, all of that stuff is gone and can just play.”

he better hope so!

Prediction

-Monta goes for 40+
-Durant struggles but still ends with 25
-Tolliver continues to get worse
-Morrow make a few 3’s then gets pulled for Colby Karl
-Biedrins plays 25 minutes and scores 2 points
-And Maggette missed 3 or more layups while trying to draw fouls

and i light up my blunt and watch the warriors have another comeback attempt fall short

They should call this team Golden State D Leaguers

So we have CJ, Buike, Hunter, Tolliver, Morrow and maybe bring back Martin. Lol

I believe they are all undrafted. Golden State Undrafted! Doesn’t have that ring to it, though

Honestly, after all these injuries has anyone ever watched a game expecting a win? I simply watch them for entertainment (or lack thereof) and loyal fan-ship. A win is just a bonus. I am a realist and it would be false of me to expect a win out of this team in it’s circumstances.

by insanenthemembrane on Feb 6, 2010 9:42 PM PST reply actions  

that's a great outlook, kinda the same as mine

I watch to see Curry, Morrow and Randolph grow. I could care less about anyone else.

by Crashbranman on Feb 6, 2010 9:44 PM PST up reply actions  

hmm. on that replay

an example of Morrow not knowing how to move without the ball

i think that's why Curry wasn't playing

when the Thunder trapped Curry there, he couldn’t do anything

by IQofaWarrior on Feb 6, 2010 9:53 PM PST reply actions  

about 3 defenders shading him that time. that is the problem with 1 player and 4 D-leaguers

they can work well together

we need a 3…badly…a dynamic one…. or a top flight center, beans is good but we should look for an upgrade

I think

he means we’re going to trade Wright.

Fans aren’t going to like it because we traded away JRich.

 Yeah but Wright ain’t JRich so maybe they can fix it with a good trade? I’m thinking Wright has less chance to come back and haunt us than Rudolf does?

I’m not surprised considering his whole radio show is basically three hours of whatever he wants to talk about. For the most part, I actually enjoy it. He’s entertaining to me.

he sounded very hesitant about it. I noticed that in a previous game too. I don’t think Nellie likes Biedrins too much.

I think it’s funny that it says “Speedy Claxton, PG” and then it says “DNP COACH’S DECISION” in his stat box.

I dare someone to watch that game and argue that the Warriors’ coach deserves to keep his job. We looked like a friggin’ pickup team out there… Monta and Biedrins were key parts of a 48-win team two years ago, and now it’s like they’ve never even met. For God’s sake, why do we still watch these games?
