Gamethread #65: Golden State Warriors v. Toronto Raptors -- D-League meets the Euroleague

Hmmm. Any D-league mascots available?
Raptors (32-31) vs Warriors (17-47)
Tip Off: 7:30pm PST
TV: CSNBA | Radio: KNBR 680
If there is any drama to this game, it's that Toronto needs it bad. Fighting for the eighth seed in the East, Toronto has been swooning badly. They've lost seven of eight, including the first two games of their West coast road trip. Tomorrow night they play Portland in the Rose Garden, and they know in their tiny lizard hearts that they're going to lose that game too. This is a game they need. Toronto is going to come out with everything they've got.
But if history is a guide, so will the Golden State D-Leaguers. Jump for matchup mayhem!
Can the Warriors hold off the Raptors? Well if you think Anthony Tolliver and Corey Maggette against Andrea Bargnani and Chris Bosh are good matchups, then definitely! Bargnani and Bosh are allergic to the paint, so it is highly likely that Nellie leaves Chris Hunter on the pine for this game, as in the Portland game.
Hey, Colangelo, I'll give you John Wall and two houses on Maui for what's his name, number four.
This matchup, which looks horrible on paper, may actually be better than it looks. Certainly better than the Aldridge and Camby matchup. Neither Bargnani nor Bosh defends the rim well, so Maggette could have a big night charging the lane. And Bargnani is notably averse to rebounding, so the Warriors lack of a frontline may not be as costly on the boards as in recent contests.
It is at the guard matchups, though, where the Warriors have the chance to inflict some real damage. The Raptors point guards Jack and Calderon are not known for defense. Curry may have some breathing room for a big night.
Rookie DeMar DeRozan is the Raptor's lone DeFensive DeSpecialist. He should get the D'assignment on Monta Ellis, and may trouble him with his length. But on the other hand, he's not a threat to do much damage on the offensive end. In fact, one of the best things about the Raptors lineup is that they have several players that Anthony Morrow can actually defend. DeRozan is one, and Hedo Turkoglu is another. Turkoglu looks to run the team far more than he looks for his own offense.
And then of course, there's Marco Belinelli, who's making a bigger indentation on Jay Triano's bench than he did on Don Nelson's. Belli's shooting 40% in 18 minutes a game. Anthony Morrow can guard him too.
Predictions:
- Monta Ellis stays out of foul trouble, and goes for 30.
- CJ Watson makes more threes than Marco Belinelli.
- Bargnani wants no part of Corey Maggette charging down the lane. Mini-Malone for 25-8-5.
- Devean George makes more threes than Marco Belinelli.
- Stephen Curry looks for his shot aggressively, and breaks out of his slump.
- Anthony Tolliver makes more threes than Marco Belinelli.

Prediction
Ellis and Curry reveal their new super secret technique which they have been practicing on since the beginning of the season; something so amazing and mind blowing that, before today, would only have been possible in a japanese cartoon.
Poll Question
I think you have “best” confused with “worst” over there.

Game Predictions
- Our Golden State Warriors defeat the Toronto Raptors, 112-106.
- Monta Ellis leads the way with 26 points.
- We finish the game with only eight players.
- Chris Bosh has a monster double-double.
- Sonny Weems kills us off the bench.

Prediction.
There will be no Filipinos attending the Roaracle tonight.
(I wonder how many warrior fans are going to show up tonight.)
Is there a way we can move the Warrior game to a 1pm tip off? That would make my LIFE today.
[ calls up David Stern ]
Romes: Hello D? Change the tipoff time for the Warriors vs. Raptors to 1pm today. It’s okay if its a short notice. The Pacquiao vs. Clottery fight will be conflicting with a 7:30pm game time. Change the time now you punk.

By the way sam23. You were right about Marco Belinelli.
He hasn’t blown up to be a superstar stud in Toronto as I predicted.
Hi I’m a dumb dumb!
I’m hella moded and I just want to admit that.
I still think with players like Marco, if you are patient with him and give him an encouraging opportunity, he still could be a very good player.

Well, he has played well for Toronto….Triano just decided to bench him for much worse players in Weems and Wright about 6 or 7 games ago.
It has nothing to do with his play…Triano has been playing an inept lineup lately with Bargnani getting over 35 minutes constantly, and still playing Wright, and Derozan, when they have shown their ineptitude on offense and defense. Many statisticians have pointed out that Marco and Amir Johnson should be getting much more playing time, but Triano continues to play his terrible lineups.
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!

Meh...
I’ve watched a number of there games and Marco seems to take a lot of ill-advised shots there.
He’s also very inconsistent. He’s a great passer but other than that and defense, he brings nothing else.
by Richboievans on Mar 13, 2010 3:08 PM PST up reply actions
bench him for much worse players in Weems
Weems is just as good of a player, if you take defense into account. Toronto needs less offensive firepower and more tough nosed defenders like Weems. I don’t think Triano is a bad coach, the problem is their over hyped over rated general manager.

It wouldn't surprise me
if the Raptors try to pull a 2-3 zone after seeing the Blazers do it against us. In any case, we’re 3 1/2 games in front of the Pacers right now. If we somehow pull out a win, it won’t hurt our lotto standings.
The only players I see having problems with there Match ups are Curry....
and whoever is guarding Bosh.
Jarret Jack is an aggressive point guard that attacks the rim relentlessly and Bosh is just a monster on the boards.
Derozan has troubles with small quicker guards so Monta should have this in the bag.
Other than…….GO MARCO!!!!!
Jarret Jack is an aggressive point guard that attacks the rim relentlessly
but he can be easily distracted with a tub of popcorn.

Hedo Turkoglu's contract is horrilbe.
He is signed until he is 35 years old, at over 10 million a year, what was the raptors thinking???
WELL...
- Warriors do it big all the way til the start of the 4th quarter.
- 1+ dunk & 1 made jumpshot by Chris Hunter…and attempts to sink in a 3 since he knows Bargnani will, and you know Big Smooth wants to.
- Marco kisses Jim Barnett on the cheek, Andris surprisingly shows up to invite Marco to a European Union afterparty. Ronny & Vlad are already dressed up anyway.
- Belli takes over the 4th, makes a no-look assist to Devean George for a dunk, Roaracle goes wild…Marco immediately gets subbed for Jared Jack.
- Big night for Morrow.
- Dubs get a surprised injury exception and bring in Manny Pacquiao to replace a foul-troubed Monta. He’s so fast he makes it in time for his fight in Dallas. PacMan makes 4/4 treys, 3 assists, 2 steals, 1 autograph signed, and an awkwardly-classic post-game interview all in the 4th to win it for the Warriors. Duh, he’s the Warrior Wonder of the night.
- Curry starts partying with Filipinos. yi yi.

Only explanations for Tolliver
He’s tired from playing all these minutes. He’s “out of rhythm” from banging all night against Bosh. He’s not used to finishing inside with NBA level players. He needs time to develop it, like CJ’s inability to finish fast breaks. Or, he just sucks inside.

Calderon is a super good shooter
and a pretty good passer. That’s about it.
by Reverend_Randy on Mar 13, 2010 9:20 PM PST up reply actions
that's an offensive foul on monta?
looks like the guy just fell over
Yes really
He’s up in the air when Mr. Calderon flopped should have been a block
Those are just your homer eyes
Calderon absolutely beat him to the spot.
Look- I dislike the refs as much as the next guy, but it’s lame to use it as an excuse all the time. At some point, we have to let the team take responsibility.
by Reverend_Randy on Mar 13, 2010 9:26 PM PST up reply actions
Its the defintion of the rule
Calderon may have been there before Ellis but Ellis was making his shooting motion by going up in the air, by rule it clearly states that is a blocking foul. Ellis didn’t dribble into him, Calderon flopped.
I know the rule
I still think Calderon had it. I know you don’t want the team to ever have to take credit for a foul, so I’m just going to have to agree to disagree.

Flynn
I think he’ll develop into a solid point guard. It just looks really bad right now because they have had arguably five other point guards who are better in Curry, Jennings, Collison, Lawson and Holiday.

Flynn is the far superior player to Rubio
Regardless if Rubio played in the NBA
Rubio is better at running the point
Flynn is a bad passer and inefficient scorer.
by Reverend_Randy on Mar 13, 2010 9:49 PM PST up reply actions
What?
That’s a dumb thing to say because Rubio hasn’t played in the NBA. It seemed pretty unanimous, though, that he was the better prospect as opposed to Flynn.

No its not dumb
Flynn is a bulldog whereas Rubio is a poodle.
People said the same of Curry. You can be undersized and be great. Besides, Rubio is a project. No one assumes he’s got an NBA body yet.

That’s right… he is rather long. I had forgotten. He’s supposed to be skinny, though.
Welcome to the Pit of Despair! Don't even think about trying to escape.
Yeah, but he's 19.
He should get a little bigger.
by Reverend_Randy on Mar 13, 2010 10:00 PM PST up reply actions
I don’t think anyone here has seen enough of Rubio to judge exactly how good he is. (And I’m pretty sure that goes for you, too, genius). From what my Spanish friend tells me, he’s had a very solid year for such a young kid.
Flynn, on the other hand, has played 66 NBA games, and has shown himself to be an inefficient scorer, mediocre passer/ballhandler, and poor rebounder. Likely the worst among his PG-rich class so far.
There will be no extra point!
by Sleepy Freud on Mar 13, 2010 10:07 PM PST up reply actions
Timberwolves
Well, I can’t really explain what they did. I guess if they had the chance to draft Curry and Evans, things would have worked out. Unfortunately, they could have only had Curry and they thought Rubio and Flynn were better. In the end, maybe they could have had Flynn and Evans if the Kings had taken Rubio. If the Kings had taken Flynn, they’d be stuck with only Evans.

rebounds and played some good defense.

Guys what did I miss?
I was watching the boxing game. Man, this Pacquio fight was the most boring boxing game I ever saw in my life. Clottey didn’t even win a round in imo, waste of money and time. Can’t wait for Mayweather aka MoneyMaker vs my boy Sugar Shane Mosley who I think can beat the crap out of Mayweather and should have fought against Pacquio long time back.
Waaaarriors
Oh, glad I didn’t watch. No surprise that Clottey didn’t even win a round. That was the wrong fight, wasn’t it?
Welcome to the Pit of Despair! Don't even think about trying to escape.

I wish I watched this game, I will never watch anymore Pacquio fight until he fights either Mosley or Mayweather, my GSW won, I even sold my tickets for cheap price

Well, now ya’ know. Pacquio is hell incarnate for opponents. Too fast and skilled.
Welcome to the Pit of Despair! Don't even think about trying to escape.
I had a stream of the fight going too
I just turned it off, Paquio is just in a different league than the guy he was fighting. His opponent just curled up in a ball and threw a punch every 10 seconds. Pac just threw punches as fast as he could with about 10% landing the entire time and he won.

There’s no question that’s the way it should be. Ellis is a 2. Period. He developed a little bit of passing skill, but his ball handling is just not up to par at all. His passing is also not worthy of a starting PG.

Curry is a leader. I don’t think Randolph will ever be a leader, either. He may become great, though. If you can get a 100% surefire perennial all-star for an potential perennial all-star, you do it. (unless the perennial all-star is old, which Bosh is not).
Welcome to the Pit of Despair! Don't even think about trying to escape.

Does he even care right now? I see big numbers from him but he didn’t help his team much tonight.
by brutusbrutus on Mar 13, 2010 10:04 PM PST up reply actions
I think it will be there especially with Curry
Who can find Morrow. If Ellis raises his 3 point percentage up it makes it tough as well he went what 5-7 tonight?
I don't see Ellis ever being a 40% 3pt shooter
the best part of his game is his quickness. If he could get passes from curry while streaking towards the basket and then dish off himself as he gets double teamed that will be deadly. The only problem is he hasn’t consistently found the open man this year. Ellis could very well get better at that as tonight he did a fine job, unfortunately for Ellis he dished it to Tolliver, lol.

I think he can continue to improve his 3’s. The trend has been up so far. I don’t see why it shouldn’t stop. People have to play off of him to keep him from driving. He has great opportunities to hit 3’s.

like 37-38. Above average, not elite. Or he could just continue being average.
by Reverend_Randy on Mar 13, 2010 10:08 PM PST up reply actions
I’m not too worried. He’s become a threat from the 3 point line, which is great. He’s strong offensively already, even without a great 3 point shot. He only needs to be pretty good from out there.
Welcome to the Pit of Despair! Don't even think about trying to escape.
I agree
he doesn’t need to become elite, nor do I expect him to become elite.
by Reverend_Randy on Mar 13, 2010 10:14 PM PST up reply actions
37-38% sounds pretty optimistic for a guy who’s 30% career and 32.3% on the season. I appreciate that he’s putting more air under his threes than he used to, but to me his form still looks much more suited to the 15-18 feet jumper than to the 3. Just too much legs or something…
There will be no extra point!
by Sleepy Freud on Mar 13, 2010 10:31 PM PST up reply actions
Yeah
I meant to say that I think his absolute top production from 3 would be around there.
