PrintDAMN!
I did NOT see that coming. Based off of my Open Thread many of you can probably see that I share the same dejected feelings that all of you do when it comes to the Dubs. And last night being yet another loss means that it was certainly no reason to start popping bottles of champagne.
But Ellis dropping 30 and 6 dimes, Tolliver dropping 25 and 12, and Reggie blasting off with a career high 29? The Warriors hanging in with one of the big bad Western powerhouses, all the way until the bitter end? Shoot. I'll at least open a bottle of Martinelli's to that.
"That's right. We only roll Gold Medal in this club, son."

Jump it up and let's take a quick look at the rare treat of Warrior madness we saw last night!
"I wish we could've gotten the win but we didn't," Williams said. "The Suns' head coach talked to me and to be recognized helps me with my confidence and lets me know I'm getting my foot in the door and kind of making an impact."
Really dude? You have Nash, Stoudemire, J-Rich, AND Hill and you still want to poach one of our D-Leaguers on his career night? That's just greedy man. Let us at least have this man. WE HAVE 19 WINS MAN. NINETEEN!
..Sorry about that. Got a little carried away. But all props to Reggie for coming off of the bench like that. All indications are that he will be a powerful addition to our D-League empire for many games to come. Wonder Twin Powers Activate! Form of.... bulletpoints!
- Devean George makes me want to play an NBA2K game, turn on injuries, and keep playing until his virtual self turns his ankle. Then I feel a little better.
- Holy Monta, Batman! Buzzer beater threes, 6 dimes, 3 jacks, 30 points; Ellis is now averaging over 31 points over his last 4 games.
- Stoudemire over Tolliver.... that rim is still rattling.
- Chris Hunter made me think that we will one day have a big man. One day. One day....
- Tolliver got it done on all sides of the floor. Cleaning the glass, swatting the ball, and of course, a solid offensive showing. D-LEAGUE! *clap clap*!
- Amare is a BEAST. Can we trade our cheerleaders for him or something? I take that back. No wait, I don't.
Well, okay, a loss is a loss is a loss. It's unfortunate that with performances like we saw from so many of our guys tonight we still couldn't muster a W, but it is important to keep in mind this wasn't a match up against a team that would should have been able to dispatch of. Y'know like New Jersey. And... maybe Minnesota. Oh, and that YMCA team of 6 year olds I saw playing in the park yesterday.
Our squad would have WASTED those fools. High five! Anyone? Anyone?
...is this mic on?...
I'm giving it to Tolliver. While we saw some great stuff from so many of our guys (serious hat tip to Reggie for his career night), Anthony was getting it done on all parts of the floor. Next time Phoenix comes to town, they're definitely going to have the fear in their eyes.

To me, it didn't really matter if we won or loss last night.
The BEST news of the day came in the morning when I read that Chris Cohan is officially putting up a for sale sign at the Oracle. No win or loss could’ve outweighed the joy I felt after reading those dozen articles talking about it!
Love Warriors, Hate Cohan! - Sell the team! Save us Mr. Ellison!
exactly how I felt
The losses don’t phase me anymore after hearing the big news about the Warriors being for sale. The game was very entertaining even though we lost, and poor Tolliver =(
I love the way our Warriors are playing
Never giving up. Really inspiring.
Getting posterized is best thing for Tolliver's career
That dunk by Amare is all that’s being talked about here in Phoenix today. I’m sure it made all the TV highlights as well. Tolliver has certainly played himself onto an NBA roster already, but the exposure from that dunk is really going to give him more name recognition.
Quit making the theiving Wall Street Fat-Cat Bankers even richer.

Gentry talking to Williams
I was at the game, and saw Gentry put his arm around him and start talking. That was my first thought, he’s telling him he wants him on the Suns. Step off, Alvin!
I have a troubling question: WHY did we pick up Kobe Karl before Reggie Williams?
Welcome to the Pit of Despair! Don't even think about trying to escape.
According to Larry Riley on this week's Weekly Radio Show
He said something about Reggie Williams not doing all that well earlier in the season. He said his scouts kept following him and saw that he was getting better and better. So my guess is that at the time Coby Karl was signed, Reggie Williams wasn’t playing at the level he is today.

Tolliver's Post on FB About Amare Dunk
“I had nightmares! haha….but my response to that is…IM IN THE NBA! ;) Wat the didn’t show is grant hill tried to dunked on me earlier and I dikembe mutumbo’ed him! Hahahah.”
I think it is safe to say that Tolliver will survive lol
Haha good to know it didn't really bother him
I love Tolliver, at least he tried to block it… You just can’t stop Amare if he’s comin straight at you lol.. Too darn powerful!
Where’s the “tolliver” that posts here? How’s he feeling lmao
Gold Medal???
The only “Gold Medal” I know is the Chinese place in downtown Oakland. Greatest late night place eating spot in that part of the bay. Martinelli’s ain’t got nuttin on greasy Chinese food!
How Can You Say This?
Monta hit only 9 of 27 shots and went to the line at least 6 times; total 33 shots and only 9 makes. Who cares about the 6 assists. They lost because Monta feels like he is the only one who can score the ball. What about Curry, Morrow, and Watson who shoot higher fg% and can probably score more than 30 points if they took as many shots as Monta!
if ur gonna
count in the freethrow shots as attempts, why don’t you count the ones he made as makes?
Living for a magical 8th seed run
Curry somewhat lost t for us at the end of the game
He took some VERY questionable shots and I never say that about him.

I definitely
would not trade our cheerleaders for Amar’e haha. I JUST got my picture with Leah.
This is Kristin Kreuk, now zip it. - GTTM
Stupidest thing said by commentators all season...
By the Sun’s announcers last night:
" Brandon Jennings is a cross between Lebron and Wade."
Why will I not be shocked if this guy wins ROY while shooting 37%? There is a lot of scary mancrushing – that I don’t understand- directed at Jennings. Scary because of his fake game and his uncanny resemblance to Lamar Latrel.
Quit making the theiving Wall Street Fat-Cat Bankers even richer.

They were talking about Tyreke Evans.

" Brandon Jennings is a cross between Lebron and Wade."
you sure they didn’t say Brandon Wright? That makes more sense, at least Brokenwing is tall like Lebron.
Lights please, lights please, turn off the lights.

seriously...
Jennings is NOTHING like either of those players in any catagory (Defense, Scoring, Efficiency, Passing, Rebounding, Size) NOTHING…
You know I spit technique to the freshest freak
Gimme a call you will see results in just a week
