Warriors (W-L): 18-47
Lakers (W-L): 41-13
Tip Off: 7:30 Pacific Time
TV: ESPN
Radio: KNBR
Blog Buddy: Silver Screen and Roll
It's mid-March, the Warriors (18 wins) are the 3rd-worst team in the Association and the Lakers (18 losses) are on their romp to the Finals. The Lakers, on the road, are 8-point favorites and the over/under is 223.5. So, let me get the two biggies as it would pertain to a normal game preview out of the way: Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry? They struggle against the Lakers...
Curry has averaged 13.0 points on 34.8 percent shooting - including 2 of 16 from 3-point range - in the three games, while Ellis averaged 20.0 points in two games - 5.6 less than his team-leading average.
And secondly, Kobe Bryant is in town, on three days' rest. But do we really care about this game? Does it matter to us if Kobe scores 30, 40, fifty, against this Warriors defense? Against D-Leaguers (btw, kudos to Reggie Williams for getting his 2nd 10-day contract)? Nah, let's talk about something else. Something bigger. Something we might really care about.
So anyways, back on Friday, Kobe had his 7th game-winning shot this season, victimizing the Toronto Raptors. Of course, once I heard he had as many game-winners as the Nets have wins this year, I had to google around to see if he had as many career game-winning shots as Michael Jordan. The results seemed to conclude that Kobe has more game-winners than MJ, although I have not found the definitive blogpost anywhere, that would look like an indisputable, credible study. There are many forums out there that talk about this, and the discussion -- not that I'm bringing up anything that's revolutionary -- is quite divisive. With that, I present this poll which is the part of the thesis of this post (disguised as a game preview, as it were!)...
Why 34 years of age or older for this poll, you ask?
Well, here's my theory. MJ was born in 1963. By the time there was general consensus that he might be "out of this world", it was about the 1986-87 season, when he averaged 37.1 ppg and became the only player other than Wilt Chamberlain to score 3,000 total points in one season. This was the year before he ended up on the path towards getting beat up by the Bad Boys for three consecutive post-seasons. By the time he was unanimously accepted as a champion and not poo-poo'ed as a "ball hog", it was hugging his first trophy, after beating the Lakers in the 1991 Finals.
But being a mere champion versus being the Greatest Of All Time are different things. Unless you were a devout follower of MJ or the NBA, the realization that he could possibly be the G.O.A.T. could not have set in earlier than after MJ recorded his third straight title. After all, the Pistons had won two in a row prior to the Bulls' run of two in a row. People knew Isiah Thomas was great, but he certainly was not being considered the greatest point guard of all time, even after title number two.
At the same time, I would guesstimate that avid NBA followers start watching games intently and intelligently no earlier than age 16, if not, then 18 and maybe even more-so at age 20 assuming you went to college and spent your freshman and sophomore years adjusting to the rigors of higher academics, dorm life, and the like.
It should come as no surprise that such claims are heavily influenced by my own experiences. When I was sixteen, I was busy trying to make the varsity high school team. I liked how Magic Johnson played when I was a middle schooler, and I tried to emulate his dribbling and bullet passes, but really, how do you emulate that when no one's even taught you the fundamentals of how to play the game? Back in the day, the fundamentals were taught in high school.
So while MJ was tearing up the league at 37.1 per every other weeknight, we were busy in practice. He was certainly not on TV all that much -- hard to believe now, isn't it? So while I was 17, I knew what MJ could do having watched him drop 63 on the Celtics in the 1986 playoffs, but I wasn't necessarily watching him all the time. And even if there were such a thing as TNT back then, how could I possibly have the basketball knowledge to translate what he did on the court to what I did on the court? I couldn't intelligently process MJ. It wasn't until college when I had near-unlimited time at the university rec center, when the defending champion Bulls were on WGN, and when I could study the man's footwork and see how fundamentally sound he was. So, that's why I say, at age 20 you're probably ready to intelligently follow the NBA.
Therefore, doing the math, there is no way you could possibly comprehend MJ being the best ever, then relate that back to the years that you saw him play leading up to that, unless you were at least 16 years old by the end of the first three-peat, the 1992-93 season. That puts your birth year no later than 1976.
As I was researching this post, I started with that now-pivotal day: December 2nd, 1987. Not that I knew the exact date as I do now, but I knew what had happened that day. This is because other NBA stars would talk about it years later (someone, please YouTube that!), in VHS montages such as Come Fly With Me. I wish I could've seen this game live.
Incidentally, Phil Jackson was not his coach at the time -- it was Doug Collins. So whatever Phil has to say about MJ, remember, he didn't witness all of his amazing feats, particularly those that involved attacking the rim with almost reckless abandon.
Early in the game, MJ receives a post entry pass while John Stockton is guarding him. MJ spins around and immediately jams it before the help arrives. Someone in the stands says something to the effect of, "Pick on someone your own size!"
Later that half, MJ is on a fast break and posterizes 6'11" Mel Turpin, in similar style to what Vince Carter did to that 7-foot French guy. As he goes back on defense, MJ turns to the fan and says, "Is that big enough for you?"
So all of these things that Kobe does, I can't help but translate it back to MJ. Could Kobe have done that? Perhaps. I'm just not sure he has the showmanship. The ability to turn a detractor into a believer. I look at Kobe and everything he does, I know MJ could have done those things too. I watch highlights of MJ and I'm not so sure Kobe can do what MJ did.
As it turns out, YouTube led me to this longer nine-minute video of MJ highlights from that game against the Jazz. Made me miss him so much. And I really never saw any of his regular season games until the 1992-93 season, when WGN was thankfully part of the cable package...
But the thing that tips the scale is this studious rendition of the same game. By total happenstance, YouTube led me to this analysis of MJ, put in today's context of NBA rules, using the same footage from that game!. Excellent work, in my opinion...
To be fair, Kobe probably agrees with me. In fact, he's friends with MJ. GQ recently did a great interview with Kobe...
He doesn't give away much. Even when it comes to fairly innocuous info, he clams up. He won't say what he and his friend Michael Jordan talk about. ("That's sacred sh_t.") He won't let his personal trainer be interviewed. He won't divulge his special recipe for Cream of Wheat.
I do have reservations that the poll voting will obviously be skewed against Kobe, this being a Warriors blog and all. But for those of you who are making a rare visit to this site, please know that the Bay Area in general has plenty of Kobe fans. I run a weekend basketball league with over 100 teams and at least 50% of our people love him and have glowing things to say at the gym.
Well, I hope I've at least lit enough of a fire for you that we'll turn this here game thread into more than what it would've been otherwise?!...

Boy, if we somehow pull out a win
There will be great celebration in the Bay, guffaws will ripple through the rest of the NBA, and heads will roll in Laker land.
Yeah, right. They have size, we don’t. I expect Hunter to get few minutes again (unless it’s garbage time), so the Warriors can open up the paint. I expect this game to be over at halftime or midway into the 3rd.
Game Predictions
- The Los Angeles Lakers defeat our Golden State Warriors, 118-107.
- Monta Ellis leads the way with 27 points.
- Anthony Tolliver hits a few three-point field goals.
- Andrew Bynum posts a double-double.
- Jordan Farmar has a monster dunk and five assists.

Farmar isn’t going to do anything but turn the ball over.

Morrow, Curry, Monta or CJ Watson will score 37 points tonight.
Lakers defeat us 115-37.

Much as I adore Jordan, I think his claim to Unquestioned GoAT is probably a bit overstated. In my hoops-viewing lifetime, I’d probably rate him #1, but I’d group him in a Fab Four with Bird, Magic, and LeBron. And if we’re talking about impact on wins, I’d throw in Shaq, Hakeem and Duncan (though as big men, they kind of deserve a different category). Kobe’s pretty clearly the next tier down from that magnificent seven, imo — even if Gasol, Odom, and Bynum help him grab his 5th and 6th rings.
So yeah … mark me down for “I’m over 34 and I Heart MJ…”
There will be no extra point!

LeBron hasn't done much in the league to warrant him in 1st Tier
Kobe is fringe 1st tier, but I’d have Duncan in that 1st tier possibly with Shaq. LeBron at this point in time (Early for his career) hasn’t warranted a spot up there over the games greats.

We have to have Russel and Chamberlain in the discussion.

Not even close brother...
Russell wins every time.

Okay so first things first.
MJ is unquestionably “the greatest” until further notice… or Kobe finishes his career with more championships, lesser players around him, and better competition, and more "Top Ten " type players going to the Hall Of Fame.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate on Kobe, and I’m not an uneducated basketball fan. Kobe could end up being a “Top Five Player” someday…but not yet;
Consider……..
Jordan played in a much tougher era, battled with incredible teams with incredible players, and played with less of a supporting cast, outside of Scottie Pippen, on his teams. I don’t think it is even realistic to compare the two because of the watered down teams, players, and the league getting really soft, in my opinion.
Secondly, if any of you want an excellent education and read about the NBA, you absolutely need to read “The Book Of Basketball” by Bill Simmons. You thought you knew hoops? Shit….i have been following the NBA for 30 years since the age of ten, and I’m still learning about all kinds of crazy shit!
Side note: If you do get the book, you will love the part about Vince Carter, and the part where he discusses “The Secret” with Isiah Thomas. Go Dubs!

Kobe could end up being a "Top Five Player" someday…but not yet;
I’m really not sure he can at this point. Too old, too many minutes, too far to go. Excellent player, but has always been overrated, just doesn’t produce enough to get into that conversation.
Also, can you elaborate on the Simmons book? I generally can’t stand Simmons, but heard things like “it’s the moneyball for basketball!” and other things that intrigued me. Picked it up in a bookstore one time and started reading through “The Secret” chapter, couldn’t get past a few pages. Really wasn’t doing it for me….but, I’d like to think I have an open mind….so make the case for it!
by Missing Barry on Mar 15, 2010 7:41 PM PDT up reply actions
It's a great read but you have to be willing
to sink your teeth into it. Just wait till you get to the part of the “Pyramid” and Simmons ranking the top 95 ballplayers of all time, current to the times.
I love all the great info he provides and some of the references and footnotes are hilarious! Highly recommend it!

Lol, Did You Expect Anything Different In Your Vote Results?
One of those under-34 votes that pick Jordan over Kobe is none other than….Kobe! MJ is, so far, the all-time greatest.
The over-34 contingent is still pitching a Kobe-shutout, though Skeptic could change that…

Would love a win today even though I don't share the same hate towards LA as many of you.
Don’t see it happening though.

The poll.
Well now we know that despite being somewhat youthful, most of this site knows it’s basketball. ;-)
"I could be chasing an untamed ornithoid without cause."
… or at least has this specific area of basketball figured out. Somehow “Jordan>Kobe” is one of the few areaa in which all the GSoM fringe movements (“Monta>Kobe”, “Kobe>LeBron”, “Steve Nash sucks,” “Al Jefferson rocks,” “gay marriage sucks” etc.) can come together. Kumbayaaa…

Just want to throw something out there...Ellis-Curry-Williams
Just fantasizing for next year, but this trio has averaged 25+ points in every league that they have ever played in! Imagine if they gel together, with Ellis-Curry in the backcourt, going for 50 (at least) every game, and Williams at SF, capable of adding another 20-25, while taking some heat off the backcourt! With a good power forward and healthy center, they could run anyone to the ground, and beat them with the long ball as well. Hmmmm….could be awesome!
Turner > Williams
Curry, Ellis, Turner sounds awesomer, and yes I know awesomer is not a word.

If I remember right, if you have two syllables in a word, it’s a judgment call to use the “er” suffix or adding “more.” Both are correct.

Maybe, but sometimes one sounds correcter.

I must have missed where Williams passed Azubuike, Morrow, and Maggette (plus conceivably Turner, Johnson, or Aminu) on the SF depth chart. I mean, the .639 TS% is pretty, but can we let this guy get more than 7 NBA games under his belt before anointing him part of any future “trio”?

Just fantasizing , Sleepy...no offense intended
Some players, though, have done it at every level, so it is not all that far-fetched. You don’t need too much imagination…just watch them play. Curry led the NCAA in scoring, and people still had doubts! Williams led the NCAA twice in scoring, the D-Leaue in scoring, and some of us have no doubt that he cold ass kick butt when give the opportunity…lol Of course, he is currently, last on the SF depth chart…..lol
OK, Sounds good!
Ellis-Curry-Williams+Turner…..(Williams at SF is pure scorer, led the NCAA 2X, and D-league)….spell some relief off Curry-Ellis…. a triple-threat capable of 30 on any given night! Awesome!
Monta game winner anyone?

keep cheering for the warriors even when the score says otherwise.
and if we do somehow win… rub it in their faces… make sure you say “BoO yAh!” a bunch of times
Suggestions to deal with rowdy Faker fans?
Pretty much all the “Zombieland” rules apply, I think…
• Cardio
• Double tap
• Beware of bathrooms
• Cast iron skillet
• Travel light
• Get a kickass partner
• Bowling Ball
• (Don’t) be a hero
• Limber up
• Avoid strip clubs
• When in doubt, know your way out
• The buddy system
• Check the back seat
• Enjoy the little things
• Swiss army knife
etc…..

Why be scared?
Were the same age and they dont really mess with someone like us. If they do just ignore them they just want attention
We all love the Warriors..
We all hate Cohan as an owner of this franchise…
I am stting in Europe waiting for 0530, local time...
I wish I could be there with you….I stay up all night on game nights; tonight it is a 0530 AM game here, in the blue Med….that’s half of it…then, I have to patch through channelsurfing or some other internet site, and watch the game usually in slo-mo (no cable here)…during the course of the streaming broadcast, my German advertising friends will do all they can to disrupt the stream, so, more often than not, I will sit by aol fanhouse as the game winds down, waiting for 30 second updates….Go Warriors!
PREDICTIONS
- we get out boarded by at least 10
- pau and bynum each get a double double
- monta scores 24 and curry scores 23 with 7 assists
- kobe scores 35
- we lose 115-101
We all love the Warriors..
We all hate Cohan as an owner of this franchise…
fantasizing...
Curry-Ellis go for 50, Williams for 20, Maggette-Morrow 25, Tolliver-Watson-Hunter 25,
-we win 120-115
OK, CALLED IT CLOSE, BUT NO CIGAR...
We got 121, not 120 (problem is they got 124, lol)…Let’s see how we did: Curry-Ellis did not go for 50, they got 42 (dreadful shooting night for Ellis; s—- happens)…..Williams did not play, but Hunter got 22 (Nellie played Williams 4 minutes/saved the rookie?)…. Maggette-Morrow did not get 25, they got 21 (Morrow didn’t get much time)…Tolliver(14)-Watson(9)-George (13) got 36!!!…and made up for everyone else. Heck for one lousy bounce on the rim, it might have been a different outcome…still, we gave the Lakers a run for their money.
Predictions:
-Warriors outrbounded
- Pau gets ejected for complaining too much
-Bynum struggles against the quicker Warriors
-Kobe struggles from the field
-Warriors win 108-100
I'm too in love with Evan Turner to care about the outcome of this game..
But a heap of my mates go for the Lakers, so bragging rights would be nice for once haha..
GO WARRIORS!
is this game both televised on ESPN and CSNbayarea?
which one do you guys prefer to watch when both are available?
I like JB’s color commentary, but Fitz can be annoying at times.
On ESPN, they’ll probably be biased towards the Lakers, but its interesting to see what the national telecasts think of the Warriors and the players.
Telecast
It will be on both channels, yes, and I’ll probably watch the local one.

They love Steph, they like Monta, they are surprised about how many d leaguers we have, and usually were that other injured team other than portland even though were more hurt
We all love the Warriors..
We all hate Cohan as an owner of this franchise…
they portray monta as if he’s a star because they just look at PPG. They think steph is the next nash, and that nellie is a good coach…they know nothing.
Marc Jackson and Fitz should both just shutup for once so i can enjoy a telecast.

Monta and Steph both have great games. Because im gonna be a lil" high and I don’t want to watch a borring game.
It's just a plant, it grows in the earth, and if you happen to set it on fire there are some effects...
Hunter is gonna have a big game
4 points and 2 rebounds!!
He’s averaging 3.7 and 2.5 on the season, and can’t seem to find his way into Nellie’s regular rotation, despite the absence of Turiaf and AB.

Hunter’s +/- has been sporadic. He’s had some strong games with some strong stats and some really crappy games. So I don’t know. I’d like to see him play more consistently, before he gets the minutes necessary to get his numbers up.
Welcome to the Pit of Despair! Don't even think about trying to escape.
what did paul pierce say into the camera?
I could not understand him. He said, “Welcome to the _”

WARRIORS WILL WIN
the bay will celabrate another gsw win and stephen curry will have a triple double and fisher will be slow throughout the game and the GSW will win.
Fisher actually did a good job on Curry last time..
Smothered him, Steph couldn’t do anything about it and had a terrible game …
Was that the first time he was defended by Fisher?

Prediction
The Warriors play well enough to win the game but the referees decide they should lose.
The only things that can save us from this:
1) Monta hits a game winner
or
2) Dick Bavetta is reffing.
Hooray for the riff between gasol and Kobe.

I was watching the Lakers game last week (against the Heat or Magic) and in a close game, the last seven plays drawn up by the Zen Master had Kobe with the ball in his hands, running the offense, and not passing. I would be pissed too if I was Gasol. They pay him $17M just to get rebounds and watch Kobe?
Why do we have to be 34 to vote for MJ?
I pick MJ no doubt, but there is no choice. Whatever, I pick MJ anyways. I remember watching him when I was little when he played the Warriors a couple times, and I remember watching him in the playoffs and the finals in my velcro nikes, trying to be like mike. And of course you can’t forget Space Jam lol. Kobe has always tried to be like Mike. I could recognize that right when Kobe I first saw Kobe play. MJ is the greatest of all time and Kobe has modeled his game after Jordan, but will never be as good as MJ.
o never mind there is a choice
My bad. I should have looked at the poll better without just taking a glance.
There shouldn't even be any comparing going on
Kobe immitates Jordan’s moves and plays. It’s obvious to everyone. He doesn’t have his own identity. But I pick him as 2nd best. Guess who number 1 is.

Kobe has always been pretty much a wannabe. While he was younger he probably looked in the mirror and immitated Jordan everyday to try and perfect the immitation. That’s why I I have never really liked Kobe as one of my favorite players. When MJ came out of the league, I never drew to Kobe. I liked guys who were high fliers, but guys who had more of their own style like Tracy McGrady, Ray Allen, Vince Carter, KG, Duncan, Gary Payton, Grant Hill, etc. MJ is my favorite of all time no doubt. I never became a big fan of Kobe because he is a copy, plain and simple.
stupidest poll ever
I don’t care how old you are, if you voted for Kobe you should slap yourself.
Thing A
Agreed
I’m 18, barely watched Jordan with the Bulls and I didn’t even have to think twice.

- i love cj watson and hunter
- these refs suck

This is the first time we actually get calls vs a playoff team.
Awesome first half!
Hunter had the best offensive hlf of any of our centers all year. If he keeps it up, maybe he can be a guy that we can rely on down low for points.
Derek Fisher
15 minutes
0 points
1 rebound
1 assist
0 steals
2 fouls
I’m pretty sure I could put up that line if you put me in for 15 minutes. Is there a more ineffectual player in the NBA?

wow. I knew Ellis was selfish, but passing up an open Morrow (one of the best 3 ball shooters in the world) on that last play was something else.
P.S
Stephen Curry P.E.R = 15.
I think it was more of an instinctive get to the line and shoot thing
Wasn’t thinking of anything else

Of course, on tape that's one thing that Nellie will want to point out
But it’s a matter of hindsight being 20/20
yeah
I don’t expect monta to check if morrow is open, if a defender is anywhere near him, or if any defender is near the passing lane all in the matter of a split second, with the clock running down.
by IQofaWarrior on Mar 15, 2010 10:26 PM PDT up reply actions
I beg to differ
Looked to me like he made a great play but the shot just didn’t fall. Grabbed an offense rebound with 3 Lakers closer to the basket, did NOT throw up a useless 2, raced to a wide-open spot behind the 3 pt line and threw up a shot dead on line that bounced 4 times before it trickled off with no time on the clock. You wanted him to slow down, look to see if anyone is open, give the defense time to react, etc.? I don’t think so.

i thought he played great regardless of shooting, also he was very clutch
We all love the Warriors..
We all hate Cohan as an owner of this franchise…
Who says Monta and Curry can't play on the same team?
Monta is a very good compliment to Curry’s floor game. If only he got more foul calls.

believe me
you’re preaching to the choir. Amen!
Ellis-Curry can work
Just means we need at least one dominant guy in the front, is it AR or Wright? We have no idea
So let me get this straight... Maggette is the healthy guy.

Kobe is such a cocky dude
He acted like this game was nothing and like the Lakers were going to win all along. Trying to demean the Warriors becuase they play fast. He’s just mad because he got outshined by Curry.
and monta aboslutly harressed him
hopefully other teams will take note on how monta played on him and can shut him down in the playoffs
How to beat Lakers
1. Play fast
2. Don’t turn the ball over
3. Make Kobe work
4. Don’t get outrebounded by 31.
Just a little bit

Wow. Definition of a hard-fought loss. Painful medicine, but really the best-case scenario.
Curry’s last two games…
64 points (14-23 2fg, 10-17 3fg)
11 rebounds
19 assists
5 steals
2 turnovers
+ heaping amounts of outrageous ballwashing by the Toronto and ESPN announcers.
How do you like me now, o-n-l-x-n? ;-)
There will be no extra point!
I thought Ellis’s last shot was great. Clutch rebound and great attempt. It was one of his best last second tries ever.
Welcome to the Pit of Despair! Don't even think about trying to escape.
I agree. Didn’t mean to deprive Monta of love. Besides shooting horribly, he played a fantastic game.
There will be no extra point!

I take my frustrations out...

Why are you frustrated?
Curry is only going to get better. All of our injured players are coming back next year and we’ll probably get a top 3 draft pick. The future is bright.
Agreed
Looks at how Hunter was tearing it up on the pick and roll with Curry, AR and Wright must be salivating at what they can do with Curry

dubz
had 5 turnovers TOTAL. if we had ONE player in there to grab some defensive boards the game could have been a lot different with the crappiness the lakers brought tonight
We're playing how the Suns used to
Just play so fast that you can’t make a playmaking mistake. Curry as point really helps us.
im sorry but this puts to rest the monta/curry thing in my mind
they can obviously work and monta guarded kobe incredibly well and it shows he CN guard 2’s. if he shot like how he did the last 2 minutes we win this
We all love the Warriors..
We all hate Cohan as an owner of this franchise…
If he hits 30% of his shots, we win this… :,-(
There will be no extra point!
by Sleepy Freud on Mar 15, 2010 10:26 PM PDT up reply actions
i am actually feeling a lot more optimistic now...idk if thats a good thing haha
but the last couple games with curry handling and monta off ball have been alot better
Isn't this what we have wanted all along?
Monta rocks playing the 2. However, you can see that he cannot jump as high as he used to in that alley-oop play and the tip-in attempt.
19 dimes, 2 turnovers from our point guard the last two games (oh, and 64 points…)
There will be no extra point!
by Sleepy Freud on Mar 15, 2010 10:29 PM PDT up reply actions
The Warriors would have won this game if they had another healthy big or two
These last couple games can give us some hope heading towards the end of the season, and it shows that they are a playoff team when healthy.
I really wish you all had won...
thanks for at least making the L@kers look bad. Valiant effort. I kept thinking if you just had one reliable big man

Imagine if we had a player with Gasol's size and skillset
Championship baby!
Well...
He’s not getting along so well with Kobe these days…anything’s possible
didn't gasol just get extended on his contract?
he’s stuck in LA for a while
by IQofaWarrior on Mar 15, 2010 10:31 PM PDT up reply actions
I was thinking Nate Thurmond or Ben Wallace or even Reggie Evans
just to cut down on 2nd chance points

i actually think this is a game monta should look at and feel good about
as long as he knows that his shooting is better than that, everything else was great
10+ assists, 1 to, and great defense
Monta looked pretty happy today
It was a fun game and he will probably make note of how well the team is doing in the locker room interviews.
It shows that even if his shooting is off that he can contribute in other ways on the floor
11 dimes in nothing to sneeze at.
Great D but Kobe still managed to score 28 on 50% shooting
by Richboievans on Mar 15, 2010 10:30 PM PDT up reply actions
Monta has to feel good about the ones he caused. That’s good stuff.
Welcome to the Pit of Despair! Don't even think about trying to escape.
I liked the one where he basically stepped over kobe to get the ball
that was sweet, and then went the other way and hit a 3.
yeah but ill take that with the 9 turnovers
cas that probly gave us 10, 15 points taking kobes game down a lot
I’d rather see him lose it and play the rest of his career with a chip on his shoulder.
There will be no extra point!

I want him hungrier. Like, Jordan hungry.

ESPN
is doing their best to pimp Curry. It’s awesome.
lets see..
how these coupe of games go. analyze the backcourt situation. see if they can be effective. one thing is clear tho..they have to build around chicken curry. dudes a ball player
Alright, lets beat the hornets!!!!!!!!!!!!
we have a good shot
curry for roy..
can happen. but i see tyrekes stats and they dont lie. tyreke and curry are gonna be both stars in their own rights.
keep this lineup
I think they should stick with this “big” starting lineup for the rest of the season. It gives Curry and Ellis a chance to simulate what next year could be like with Randolph/Wright in there, and maybe another big.
agree - seems more important than getting Tolliver minutes

Night folks!
It’s 1:30 AM here in Hotlanta. Gotta say nighty night.
Combine Beans rebounding with Hunter’s offensive output tonight, and we have our center!
So let me get this straight... Maggette is the healthy guy.

we woulda won if beans was playing
wouldnt of givin up all those boards
Girls love the whole Euro thing
If the guy can snag boards and broads he’s the most popular dude in that locker room
Beans is already the richest man in Latvia, he get’s all he wants ;)

interesting looking at the +/-, not that it is a great indicator
all starters with (-)‘s and all bench players with (+)’s
best starter was curry at -9 and best bench was cj at +13
just shows what a flawed statistic it is
Curry was a monster tonight. CJ played really well too though
by Number22Drew on Mar 15, 2010 10:42 PM PDT up reply actions
Obviously, like most statistics, it’s flawed if you use a one-game sample size. Monta shot 22% from the field tonight.
There will be no extra point!

Dont we average like 100 shots a game?

PROGNOSTICATING VS REALITY...
fantasizing… Curry-Ellis go for 50, Williams for 20, Maggette-Morrow 25, Tolliver-Watson-Hunter 25,
we win 120-115 happens)…..Williams did not play, but Hunter got 22 (Nellie played Williams 4 minutes/saved the rookie?)…. Maggette-Morrow did not get 25, they got 21 (Morrow didn’t get much time)…Tolliver(14)-Watson(9)-George (13) got 36!!!…and made up for everyone else. Heck for one lousy bounce on the rim, it might have been a different outcome…still, we gave the Lakers a run for their money.
OK, CALLED IT CLOSE, BUT NO CIGAR… We got 121, not 120 (problem is they got 124, lol)…Let’s see how we did: Curry-Ellis did not go for 50, they got 42 (dreadful shooting night for Ellis; s—
I am under 34 years old, and my vote is Stephen Curry.
