Dude's tall.
Warriors (W-L): 19-49
Grizzlies (W-L): 36-33
Tip Off: 5:00 Pacific Time
TV: CSN
Radio: KNBR 680
Blog Buddies: Straight Outta Vancouver
I'm sure Memphis' coaches are talking up the importance of this game to their players. But in reality, Memphis' playoff hopes are already all but extinguished. They are currently 5 1/2 games behind Portland for the eighth playoff spot. I can't see them catching either Portland or San Antonio, can you? Nevertheless, Memphis has been playing hard, winning 7 of their last 11, and we can expect them to have this game circled. The decimated Warriors should have their hands full on the road back to back.
Jump for matchup madness!
All that?
The chief interest in this game for Warriors fans lies in the look it affords us at OJ Mayo and Hasheem Thabeet, the two players that Don Nelson, errr.... Larry Riley, is reported to have turned down in a trade for Monta Ellis. Due to a neck injury to Marc Gasol, Thabeet has been getting minutes recently. And he has looked a lot better than he looked to start the season, averaging 9 points, 9.5 boards and 3 blocks in 28 minutes in his last two games. Nellie will of course try to pull him out of the lane, and run him off the court. A job for Anthony Tolliver, at center.
OJ Mayo is having a decent season, averaging 18 points on 46% shooting. But I'm very curious why so many people think Mayo, at 6-4" and with serious defensive deficiencies, is a better fit to play alongside Stephen Curry than the 6-3" Monta Ellis. I just don't get it. Monta Ellis is a far better defender than OJ Mayo.
Here's another thing i don't get: Forget about Kelenna Azubuike for a moment. Is OJ Mayo a better player than the 6-6" Reggie Williams?
Unfortunately, I don't think we'll get to see Monta guard Mayo much in this game. The short-handed Warriors will be forced to play small, barring a miraculous return of Rony Turiaf, which means Maggette on Zach Randolph, Monta on Gay, and Morrow on the only player on Memphis who doesn't need guarding, Mike Conley.
Which means either Curry or Watson should start the game on Mayo. But look for Reggie Williams to get plenty of time. That's the guy I want to watch. Playing OJ Mayo.
Predictions:
- Reggie Williams gets more minutes than Anthony Morrow.
- Reggie Williams gets more points than OJ Mayo.
- Three Warriors finish with 5 or more fouls.
- Don Nelson gets tossed, oh.... mid-third quarter.
- Monta Ellis back-to-back 39 point games. Unless Curry plays, in which case 35 points.
- Anthony Tolliver shoots 9 three pointers, making 4.
- Hasheem Thabeet gets very, very tired.
- Warriors by 1 (trademark: Atma Brother #1).

For once, I appreciate the back to back
so we can quickly erase that abomination we saw last night. I later found out that the Spurs were coming off their own complete disaster in Orlando, so that explains some of their extra ooomph. Doesn’t excuse our poor play, though.
Let the tanking continue!
My game prediction:
We will make Thabeet look like the 2nd overall pick he actually is.
So let me get this straight... Maggette is the healthy guy.
"Winning is not enough. All others must lose." - Larry Ellison
Game Predictions
- The Memphis Grizzlies defeat our Golden State Warriors, 114-106.
- Monta Ellis leads the way with 27 points.
- Stephen Curry sits this one out.
- O.J. Mayo posts a double-double.
- Marc Gasol blocks four shots.

OJ Mayo
Will not get a double double he’ll be lucky to have 5 rebounds by the end of the night.
Ignoring salaries, hype, etc., Reggie Williams >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> OJ Mayo. It’s not even close. The only thing Mayo is better at is turning the ball over.
There will be no extra point!
LOL,
and when I say that I really mean that I laughed out loud at your ridiculous post. You also said in a previous post that Anthony Morrow is a better player than Monta Ellis. Keep over analyzing stats and not watching games… You take Morrow and Williams and I’ll take Ellis and Gay.
Reggie Williams over OJ Mayo? It’s not a shock that not 1 of 30 gm’s or teams think that what so ever, atleast for me.

Sleepy will take two of the most efficient scorers in the league, while you will take two of the highest volume, low efficiency, blackholes in this league that will make around 25 million a year combined. I think Sleepy made the right decision.
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!

Anthony Morrow is our best shooter. Why dont we have him shoot every single time we come down the court? No seriously he has our best chance of making the most points per shot and most point per possesion. Have him fire every single time. Every time we have someone with a lower ts% shoot has been a wasted posesion, right?

Also,
SF prefaced his comment by saying salaries aside. Still I would rather have Ellis and Gay on thier contracts than Williams on second 10 day contract (he wont be in the NBA come Monday, despite his ‘effiencent scoring’) and Morrow on his near min wage.

@ WS110: I don’t remember saying Morrow was “better than” Ellis, but it’s nice to know you’re keeping track.
I have to say, man, not just ’cos of the rather prick-ly tone in which you called me out: I have noticed a distinct drop in the quality of your posting here over the last few months. I mean, your writing style was never great shakes, but it seems like you used to spend more time making cogent, interesting points and less time sneering, LOL-ing at other posters and generally being a whiny little drip.
In the interest of improving your True Posting Percentage: would you care to explain what exactly makes Mayo a better player than Reggie Williams?
There will be no extra point!

So, should we expect hes out again?

by Cpt. Jack in the Box on Mar 20, 2010 3:43 PM PDT reply actions
Yeah, this was written last night/this morning
so it’s not up to date as of this moment. If he still had to “jump” on it to make progress, my guess is that his ankle won’t be 100% today, so I’m not expecting him to be in. If he does show up tonight, he really really really better be 100% on that ankle.

Sasquatch right now is leading Northern Iowa
Over Kansas. If Turner is gone that’s who the Warriors should draft. A true big man 7’0 280 who can shoot the ball.
Monta Ellis is a far better defender than OJ Mayo.
I don’t think the difference is huge, whether you believe Monta to be better than OJ or vice versa. Mayo also has better potential because of his relative size. Mayo is also 6’4", 6’6" wingspan, 210 lbs compared to Monta’s 6’3", 6’2" wingspan, 180 lbs. Mayo is definitely not an ideal sized 2 guard, but he is closer than Monta.
OJ Mayo is having a decent season, averaging 18 points on 46% shooting.
He’s a three point shooter, so his FG% underrates his effectiveness. His TS% is .550, which is actually pretty good.
I don’t think he’s a perfect fit for the team, but I feel like I’m here early enough that it’s okay to nitpick on some of the details.
by Reverend_Randy on Mar 20, 2010 3:48 PM PDT reply actions 1 recs
Monta has his beat in pretty much every statistical category
When you look at the points, assists, rebounds, and steals. Mayo does have the ability to be a better defender than Ellis because he’s stronger, but Mayo has yet to show that.
Can someone prove to you, that per minute stats are better ways of evaluating players, rather than misleading per game numbers?
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!
Even Ellis's
Per 36 minutes stats are better.
per minute stats...
are absolutely bull.
It’s just predicting that players will put up those number of stats if they had those minutes,while per game stats are already proven.
by Cpt. Jack in the Box on Mar 20, 2010 4:10 PM PDT up reply actions
Per minute stats are just as “proven” as per game stats. Do you also prefer your baseball numbers “per game”?
There will be no extra point!
by Sleepy Freud on Mar 20, 2010 9:08 PM PDT up reply actions
Do you also prefer your baseball numbers "per game"?
Well, Yes? A whole game is a lot more meaningful than a partial game, just like actually playing someone for 36 minutes is a lot more meaningful than projecting what someone could possibly do in 36 minutes if he had the stamina to play 36 minutes when he’s barely able to play 18 minutes?
Lights please, lights please, turn off the lights.
by Skeptic con Urquell on Mar 20, 2010 10:49 PM PDT up reply actions
“Projection” has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion. Whether per game or per 36 minutes, we’re talking about events that actually happened.
Last I checked, the most used and useful baseball metrics were given per at bat, or per plate appearance, or per nine innings, not per game. The reason for this should be pretty obvious to any thinking person. A l’il hint: it’s the same reason per minute numbers are generally a much fairer and more useful way to compare basketball players.
The “stamina” argument is pure BS most of the time. Unless you’re dealing with a slug like Eddy Curry, the average NBA bench player is an elite athlete who is not going to get gassed playing 30-40 minutes of actual hoops out of a two-and-half hour game. Further, it’s been pointed out many, many times on this site that NBA players’ per minute production tends not to vary much depending on minutes played (assuming reasonable sample sizes). C’mon Skep: after 3-4 years on this site. you still wanna spout this nonsense about stamina and “projection”? Have you really learned nothing in your time here?
There will be no extra point!
by Sleepy Freud on Mar 21, 2010 8:39 PM PDT up reply actions
Not really
Two stats that OJ has Monta beat in: Turnovers, true shooting percent. I’d rather have 18 PPG at 55 TS% than 25.5 at 52 TS%, especially from scorers.

Williams or Mayo? Who cares?
This season the Warriors don’t seem to care what semi-warm bodies they heave out onto the court to simulate a live basketball team, so thinking ahead to next year I’ll take Azubuike or Raja Bell in the Williams/Mayo spot. After that, Maggette as a short-minutes sub (for offensive changeup only). That puts Reggie Williams far down the list – the 9th or 10th man onto the floor. Reggie does seem like a well-rounded player, unlike Mayo – or Maggette or Morrow. That last bit could change with enough time around the Warriors, of course. In any case, Williams is an easy choice over someone with the defensive skills of Morrow, who should be superglued to the bench until he PROVES he can stop a kitten.

I don't think it's realistic to cut Vlad
Bell has an expiring deal, there are only 13 games left in the season. Vlad has over 1 year, 14 million left.
Bell won’t be returning

yes, and no….it was worth it to rid us of captn ass
and hes a nice guy and can shoot and is an expiring we can use next year
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!
good player > nice guy who cant play
and i dont really think he can shoot anymore :/, and we wont use that money for anything we already know this
We all love the Warriors..
We all hate Cohan as an owner of this franchise…
i think he can still shoot
i agree that tolliver is better, but its not like we should cut vlad.
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!
than vlad shouldnt be in the rotation
and george > vlad and i dont want to cut george right now… so you know where im goin with it

thats why you cut bell
hes never going to play for us
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!
meh, dont really care either way
but raja is a better influence for the end of the year an gives a lil leadership right now

It's nice to have Raja around

Durant should definitely become a better rebounder
James is fine cause he does other things not just score the ball. Carmelo should be a better rebounder as well.
Durant is about as good of a rebounder as he ever needs to be.
Gay, Durant, Melo and James are all way above average position rebounders.

why all the hate when he's been great
he’s showing that he’s a threat everywhere even at the 3 point line. his % this year is very respectable, better than other superstar scorers like kobe, wade, melo, james
Come on Steph, Conley is nothing
dont’ let him drive on you
Don't get me wrong
he isn’t good or anything, but he is quick and athletic.

way to bring something to the table rocky
thabeet is looking like a very promising player
maybe not #2 pick material
but he looks like a good player
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!
Since when?
He went to the D-League? Thabeet is going too take years and years to develop.
so…going to the d league doesnt mean hes bad
it was because they had two guys in front of him while competing for a playofff spot
and he needed minutes
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!

and morrow and tolliver!!
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!
Morrow
Was never a D-Leaguer he was an undrafted rookie. Tolliver is a small forward with size who can shoot the ball and on occasion take it to the basket.
Tolliver is not a small forward
that’s insane.
by Reverend_Randy on Mar 20, 2010 6:17 PM PDT up reply actions
So you think
Tolliver’s a power forward at 6’9 240? Maybe. Have you ever seen Tolliver with post moves? If Rudy Gay is a small forward why can’t Tolliver be? They’re both 6’9
Tolliver doesn’t have the lateral movement to be a SF. Never happen.
Welcome to the Pit of Despair! Don't even think about trying to escape.
And Tolliver doesn't have the strength to play
Power forward.
Where is Rudy Gay listed at 6'9"?
Brandon Bass is a power forward at 6’8".
Magic Johnson was a point guard at 6’9". If Magic is a point guard why can’t Tolliver be?

dont even argue with him
he just makes up things so he can be right
one of the worst members in this community
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!
Bass has at least 10 pounds on Tolliver
He’s also built differently as well.
True
Let’s put it this way then Tolliver may not have the lateral quickness to be a three but he also doesn’t have the strength to play the four either. He’s in between.
He did 21 reps on the bench press at the combine
that sounds like he’s reasonably strong.
by Reverend_Randy on Mar 20, 2010 6:30 PM PDT up reply actions
But
Most of the power forwards in the league today got at least 10 pounds on him.
like whom
he weighs around 245
i doubt the average pf is 255
your full of it
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!
Like whom
The guy you’re seeing on the court right now Randolph, Mention already Bass, Tim Duncan, Amare Stoudemire, Glen Davis, DeJuan Blair, Drew Gooden.
Just to name a few.
Notice all those players are guards
Who’s primary responsibility is too score.
Yeah cause
2.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks for a number two pick is just great. How about this a second round pick in DeJuan Blair is having a better year both scoring and rebounding and the concern was Blair’s knees.
When Chase Budinger is nearly averaging the same amount of rebounds as you there’s a huge problem. Thabeet was never worth the second pick heck he should have even been drafted in the first round.
He has a long ways to go before he even makes a dent in the league.
you are so annoying
use per minute stats once in a while…until then, you arent a respected person in our high iq community

this run coincided with maggette and monta ballhoghing
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!
Right
Cause tolliver’s nice little pass to Williams was dropped out of bounds. The run started because the Warriors do not play defense! Oh and if Tolliver is so strong why is Corey Maggette guarding Zach Randolph?
because hes playing center
and has to guard their center
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!
That's right
Cause Thabeet is a scoring threat right? That the Grizzlies were going to go into him. Who are you fooling? The only other center the Grizzlies brought in was Darrell Arthur. A player actually smaller than Tolliver, and Tolliver got owned.
This all starts back to the pathetic defense to end
the half! Allowing an easy three pointer by Mayo! Guess we’re stuck with Nelson for another year!

no
unless MT2 got duped. Looks like the Warriors are going for keeping healthy bodies. Looking at how Hunter’s ailing right now, it ends up being a good call.

Don't know whats worse
Having Don Nelson still on the bench or Bob Geren as manager.
4 Grizzly starters have more rebounds then our whole team
One of the few to have appreciated Cap'n Jax. Do well in NC, get that 8th seed!

well you watched our 3rd quarters before right?
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!
that doesn't matter
i don’t know what happened in THIS 3rd qtr. Who played well, who didn’t.
by IQofaWarrior on Mar 20, 2010 6:55 PM PDT up reply actions
The clue is.....
Defense. There wasn’t any being played by the Warriors. Just like San Antonio, Memphis got any shot they wanted.
that sound about right
there’s too much arguing going on in this open thread. i should just ignore it for the rest of the game

but not as good of a spot up shooter.
by Reverend_Randy on Mar 20, 2010 7:13 PM PDT up reply actions
the shots today are actually distributed evenly
6 players with 10 or more shots
This team is garbage because we don't rebound or defend
I hate this

Iq, am i right that you can sign as many d leaguers at a time that you want?
so maybe we can sign kurz to a 10 day contract to give us some size with hunter out now
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!
correction
he is really playing for mad ants
-damn -i’ve heard he got contract in greece
WTF FTW!
by Lat We N Trash on Mar 20, 2010 7:17 PM PDT up reply actions
i don't know all the rules
the rules that i know is that you cannot sign more than 15 players on a roster unless you get an injury exception, which you have to reapply every 2 weeks or 10 days or something like that.
by IQofaWarrior on Mar 20, 2010 7:15 PM PDT up reply actions
oh, i heard you could sign as many 10 day contracts as you wanted
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!
nope, the limit is 15
i think the rules are different before the trade deadline, but i don’t know exactly what they are. For right now, it’s 15 only, unless you get permission from the NBA for 10 days for injuries
by IQofaWarrior on Mar 20, 2010 7:17 PM PDT up reply actions
I know you can get as many as 2 simultaneous injury exceptions

we seriously need like 2 or 3 more…this …isnt fair
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!
There aren't any good D-Leaguers left

kurz…or benson
its better than reggie williams as backup power forward
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!
and george as back up center
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!
George or Maggette at the 5

he may have banged knees or something
whatever it was, he tried to play through it, but he was really wincing, so he got pulled out
by IQofaWarrior on Mar 20, 2010 7:28 PM PDT up reply actions
Raja Bell
Is going to be waived. Im actually disappointed even though i really never saw him play. But i don’t get why we want to keep reggie williams over raja bell
It's just a plant, it grows in the earth, and if you happen to set it on fire there are some effects...

guys
ILY tolliver
is there any other player in this league who has the burden as the only big on the floor for his team
especially considering he was in the d league, this is a huge responsibilty
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!
this is a huge responsibilty
especially since he’s not very big

this would be a huge responsibility for howard or bosh
and we’re talking about giving this role to tolliver
i wish him the best
i doubt he doesnt come out of this stretch without an acl tear
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!
i don't get your point
are you tried to say that it’s huge responsibility to be NBA player?
WTF FTW!
by Lat We N Trash on Mar 20, 2010 7:34 PM PDT up reply actions
to be the only big man to play any minutes at all.
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!
haven't you seen some w's games?
it’s pretty tough thing to be a big 4 nellie team
and while i love the effort my heart bleads when i see rebounding numbers for 2 last games
WTF FTW!
by Lat We N Trash on Mar 20, 2010 7:39 PM PDT up reply actions
Well when you're playing out of position
Anyways its hard as well.
so why is this blame on tolliver
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!
I'm not blaming him
but if he was truly a four he’d be in the paint not up top taking 15 foot jumpers all the time.
naw -i don't blame him really
just being sour
WTF FTW!
by Lat We N Trash on Mar 20, 2010 8:07 PM PDT up reply actions
In a way I kind of hope Turner has a kind of off tournament so that he could slip to us if we get #3
Well according to Kobe
Turner should be the number one pick.
and the girl wanted it

why dont we just fire nellie so he doesnt have to endure the pain
Nellie needs to go! but while we suffer....John Wall or Evan Turner please!
You know the reason why
Cause Mr. Cohan and Mr. Rowell want too see Nellie get the wins record!
can we do something about these spammers?
like blocking there network?
We all love the Warriors..
We all hate Cohan as an owner of this franchise…
seriously they just keep coming

Wait,
people picked Reggie Williams over O.J. Mayo?
on a game that highlights monta's scoring efficiency, unselfishness and steals
there are still haters whose argument and point of view will never change. even in the face of growing evidence that he can work well with curry, and that he is adjusting, and playing off the ball more. we still have people claiming he is nothing but an inefficient ballhog. that is incredible to me. who is going to step up when curry isn’t a 100%? without monta the warriors suffer more. even when he is efficient there is still hate. he is a product of golden state. he won mip a couple years ago. did you expect him to do anything else but try to step up after all his old teammates were shipped out. now that curry has shown he is capable of leading the team, has he shown an unwillingness to play with curry? no. he is still playing great and helping the team win. those who want him out were never warriors fans. how they can claim otherwise is beyond me.
Those who want him out are people who are just haters....
Or just want a legit PF/C in return but that just seems like wishful thinking to me.
I pretty much agree with everything you just said though.
