The best point guard in the world?
Warriors (W-L): 25-55
Jazz (W-L): 52-28
Tip-Off: 7:30 Pacific
TV: CSN, CSNHD
Radio: KNBR 1050
Blog Buddy: SLC Dunk
The Utah Jazz are in town, and they mean business. With two games left, they are tied for Phoenix for the fourth seed and homecourt advantage in the first round. They are also tied with Denver in the loss column for the Northwest Division crown and the third seed, out of the Lakers' bracket. So this game obviously carries huge significance for the Jazz. Which is one reason why the Warriors are +6.5 point dogs in their own house.
Can the Warriors compete with the Jazz in this game? Perhaps more importantly, should they compete?
Jump for answers!
A lot of Warriors fans have been rooting for the Warriors to lose games to improve their playoff seeding. I think that's fool's gold (except when Tim Duncan is in the draft). In most cases, I believe, teams should continue competing and working to improve, and let the lottery chips fall where they may. And that appears to be the Warriors' mindset. Their victory over the Thunder in the last game, with nothing on the line, showed that if management intends to start tanking, the players haven't got the memo.
Even if the Warriors show up for battle, its an open question whether this game can be competitive. Utah has owned the injury-depleted Warriors in recent years. The Warriors have had no answers for either the inside dominance of Carlos Boozer, or the outside artistry of Deron Williams. And the Jazz are startlingly effective at holding down Monta Ellis and the Warriors' guards. In his last seven games against the Jazz, Monta has averaged 12 points on 40% shooting. In his lone effort against the Jazz this season, it was even worse: 6 points on 2-14 shooting. Clearly the Jazz know something about defending Monta Ellis.
They're not too bad at defending Stephen Curry either: he's turned the ball over 14 times in his two meetings with the Jazz. For the Warriors to compete in this game -- before they even consider their battle in the paint with Boozer and Millsap -- Curry and Monta need to solve the Jazz defense.
Here are the signs that will indicate early whether the Warriors intend to bring their A-game tonight: 1) Turiaf plays, for absolutely no reason, on the knee that will require surgery after the season; 2) Don Nelson, not Keith Smart, coaches; 3) Maggette takes the challenge against Boozer and Milsap; and 4) Monta takes the challenge against Williams.
Predictions:
- Tank, schmank
- Turiaf plays
- Nelson coaches
- Tolliver shoots 6 threes, making.... 3
- Monta scores more than 12, and shoots better than 40%
- Stephen Curry has fewer than (14 divided by 2 =) 7 turnovers
- Warriors win by one*
- *(trademark AB1)

It’s time for some game predictions:
- The Utah Jazz defeat our Golden State Warriors, 122-108.
- Monta Ellis leads the way with 26 points.
- Keith Smart coaches the game.
- Deron Williams, Carlos Boozer and Paul Millsap post a double-double each.
- C.J. Miles hits three three-point field goals.

You're prediction for the final score seems realistic.

A good hard close loss means everyone wins. The players feel good that they held their own against a playoff team, and the Warriors tie themselves with the WIzards and Kings for 3rd/4th/5th.

There's a good chance Minny would be willing to let Love go this offseason
since they like what Darko brings defensively and he compliments Big Al better than Big Love. I’m thinking if we get the third pick and Minny is below us they may be willing to take Maggs and Wright plus our #3 for Love, Gomes, and Hollins + their pick. What you guys think? Basically it’s having Cousins/Favors or Love. We can’t count on Wright being healthy and Love is still on his rookie contract so he’s cheap for next season.
It’s possible but highly unlikely that the Wolves would want to get rid of Kevin Love, by far their best player, still on his cheap rookie contract.
It’s possible but highly unlikely that the Wolves would want to take on Maggs’ contract.
It’s possible but pretty unlikely that the Warriors will be picking ahead of the Wolves.
When you multiply that many “unlikelies,” you end up with something more like “so remote as to not really be worth discussing.”
That said, I’d obviously love to have Love. I’d basically trade any combination of our players excluding Curry and Randolph for him.
There will be no extra point!

What channel is the game on? (comcast)
It’s not showing on 40, or the other basic cable channels.
Sometimes it’s on 410, but the guide shows 410 as “signoff”
Gotta set up the tivo (ain’t technology grand!)
Have to see the last two games, because this is gonna be a long summer

Yup 410
damn Tivo data provider sucks, checked it on the comcast guide on their box and it looks like it
thanks….
All this talk of trade, draft picks – it IS gonna be a long summer
And we haven’t touched on whether Monta will pull a Capt Jack move. Or whether Andris will get his head straight.
A decent pick of a big man, and everyone gets healthy AND both of the above get their head straight – it’ll be a fun time next season…

Does anybody else think that as long as we get a top 5 pick and the Nets, Wolves, Kings, and Wizards are the other 4 teams, we will be able to take either Cousins and Favors no matter what?
If the lottery pretty much goes according to the percentages, the Nets would most likely end up with either Wall or Turner, Wolves don’t need a big man, Kings will probably get one of them if they stay in the top 5, and the Wizards already have Blatche and McGee so they would probably go after a wing player, or Wall if they get the chance. Just a thought.
LGW...still.
Lehhhh Go!

Real talent evaluators like Jim Barnett would pull the trigger on a trade for a real PF and C like Lee for Randolph, Biedrins and the pick without hesitation.
by Hundredthousanddollarpluswhipmaster on Apr 13, 2010 5:38 PM PDT reply actions
No they wouldn't
David Lee isn’t a top talent. And again, the trade is impossible to get done the way you have it written.
by Reverend_Randy on Apr 13, 2010 5:40 PM PDT up reply actions
last game Barnett said that the Warriors must get better defensively and more importantly must get rebounds on offense and defense! I agree with him 100%! The Warriors must make a trade this offseason for a legit PF or C to win playoff games!!!!!!!!
by Hundredthousanddollarpluswhipmaster on Apr 13, 2010 5:44 PM PDT up reply actions
David Lee is a third tier talent
good offensive player, horrendous defensive player.
He isn’t as good of a rebounder as Andris. Randolph could be the legit PF that we need. We could draft someone like Cousins, who I’m not huge on, but he is a legit center.
Again- we couldn’t make that trade the way you have it written out.

Trading 2 of our most productive big man
and a top draft pick for David Lee will get us to the playoffs? That just doesn’t pass the sniff test.
It’d be one thing if you were trading a really unproductive player for David Lee, but you’re trading 2 good players and a draft pick for him.

he’s worth more to them than he is to us, so he wouldn’t actually be worth trading for

Meh, Lopez is a’ight. Good shooter, pretty crappy rebounder, meh defender, seems like a bit of a douche. I’d rather have Randolph, straight up.
There will be no extra point!
by Sleepy Freud on Apr 13, 2010 5:59 PM PDT up reply actions
Good scorer, good passer for his position,
I thought he was a slightly better rebounder than he actually is.
by Reverend_Randy on Apr 13, 2010 6:05 PM PDT up reply actions
Haha. Presumably you’ve discussed this with Barnett? Do you “guarantee” it?
I like Lee, but before AB’s regression this season (possibly due to injury), Lee and Biedrins were pretty comparable players. Lee’s more polished offensively, but Biedrins is longer and more active defensively. Beyond Lee’s excellent defensive rebounding, he’s a pretty terrible defensive player.
I’d marginally take Lee over Biedrins, but not at the cost of Anthony Randolph and John Wall (since you didn’t specify which first round pick, I’m allowed to turn it into whomever I choose, right?) Indeed, I’d rather have Randolph or Wall straight up than Lee.
And again: your. silly. fantasy. trade. is. not. possible.
There will be no extra point!
by Sleepy Freud on Apr 13, 2010 5:51 PM PDT up reply actions
Is the game gonna be on the regular channel tonight?
Because I see the giants game in that slot.
I dun even want Curry to play..
We all know what he can do.. May aswell rest him until next season when he might actually good bigs to work with………
Plus if he’s out, we’ll definitely lose lol.
The Poll
Makes me real sad… we know we always get bad luck in the draft, just root for wins always!!!!
Meh...
We really have nothing to prove the last 2 games.. Over half of our roster isn’t playing, we have 2 d-leaguers who probably won’t even be here next season and heck, we might even have a new coach aswell…
The only thing that makes me sad if seeing our guys in suits on the bench wishing they could be out there playing.
We don’t always have bad luck. We just don’t usually finish low enough to be in realistic position to have good luck.
Just to reiterate, as the #3 worst seed, we had a 96% chance at a Top 5 pick. No need for luck. Had we just avoided damaging victories in our last three games, one of Wall, Turner, Cousins, Favors, or Johnson would have been a Warrior for at minimum the next 4-5 years, at a bargain-basement price.
Last year we finished 3 games behind the Knicks, and ended up with Stephen Curry. It makes me a little sad that 167 Warriors fans would have preferred that we had won a few more meaningless games down the stretch and ended up with Jordan Hill.
There will be no extra point!

Why don’t you do it when it counts huh? We want a good player in the draft to replace your washed up self. This could be his last couple games of his career, so he wants to mess it up for us lol.

I have never witnessed so much backlash towards a Bay Area media member (Bob Fitzgerald) by his peers. Kawakami continues to bash the “TV Announcer,” Damon Bruce craps on the “other show” everyday, and now even Matt Steinmetz, who is on the same broadcast time (pre and post game), tweets in response to Fitz’s “free one” comment re: 2-1:
“@MSteinmetzCSN There is no “free one” when it comes to first possession of a 2-for-1. It’s a wasted possession. Period. "

The person who writes for fools is always sure of a large audience.
Typically, a player's stats don't just fall off with tiredness like that
If his numbers from the first half the season regarding finishing around the rim were as good as 08, he would have to have been truly abysmal and forced a lot of drives in the second half.

Oh, and the other variable that's different from 2 years ago
we had a team that REALLY spread the opponent’s defense out to the 3 pt line, so it’s easier for everyone to finish back then. This season, the opponent is more packed in the lane.
by IQofaWarrior on Apr 13, 2010 10:10 PM PDT up reply actions
We have a pretty good team for spreading the floor this season
Curry, Morrow, Reggie, Tolliver.
The biggest reason is probably that Monta just isn’t nearly talented enough to be the first or second best player on your team.
It’s also possible that he lost some explosiveness with his injury. IIRC, it was a pretty bad injury.
by Reverend_Randy on Apr 13, 2010 10:12 PM PDT up reply actions
Well, we didn't have Reggie or Tolliver for the entire season
and I do agree that Monta should not be the “best” player. Definitely the 2nd best or the 3rd best is a good spot for him. As for losing some of his explosiveness, due to his moped injury, I can see that. There are so many differences and changes between this season and the 07-08 season, that I still find it hard to judge him right now. If Monta is still with us next season, I’ll judge his talents then.

if hes the 3rd guy, if we get ET thats what we may need, AR maybe as well
The person who writes for fools is always sure of a large audience.
From what I see about Evan Turner
I don’t know that he can be the first guy.
I think we might be able to get an upgrade somewhere by moving Monta. If we get ET, it would be better to play him at his natural 2, which moving Monta could create room for.
by Reverend_Randy on Apr 13, 2010 10:28 PM PDT up reply actions
Well, that's a front office problem
who decided to pay Monta $11M a year, though that was also before Monta mopeded himself. And it doesn’t help that $9M is being paid to a center who’s afraid to look at the basket. Right now, that’s pissing me off a lot more than Monta’s contract. Even though Monta may be inefficient this season, and might not make the best decisions, he’s taken on every challenge head on since the Jackson trade.

The person who writes for fools is always sure of a large audience.
That could be a part of it, but it’s not just the dunks. I think he lacks a fundamental understanding of what it takes to win basketball games. He’s basically not good at anything these days except hoisting up a whole crapload of shots. I hope he can get better, but right now he’s just awful, and he’s now had a complete full season of awfulness.

Haha. Who said he was slow? Fact is, he’s a much worse player than he was two years ago: much less efficient scorer, much worse rebounder, much worse at taking care of the ball, much worse at helping his team get wins.
Some part of this is probably the loss of BD … some part of it, I fear, is that he can’t rely on his crazy explosiveness like he used to.

3/4 things you said are affected by him being moved from the 2nd option to first and playing on the ball
The person who writes for fools is always sure of a large audience.
Yeah, that could well be affecting things, but he has in large part chosen to be the ballhogging pile of suck he’s been this season. And if all he is a 6’3" two guard with a crappy perimeter game and pretty finishing skills, that’s not a lot .. and certainly not worth anywhere near $11M. Right now Reggie Williams is a much better player.

dont rule it out.......................
The person who writes for fools is always sure of a large audience.
True. But it’s at least partly his fault that he’s regressed so horribly. The sad thing is, I don’t think he has the slightest clue how bad he’s been this season. I’m sure he looks at his 25ppg and feels self-satisfied. I don’t think he’s a lazy player at all, but I am starting to think he’s dumb as rocks, and not ’cos of the slow drawl.
A bit of overreactivity here — it’s a game thread after all — but honestly if we could dump his horrible contract for a $10M bag of balls with an expiring contract, I really think it would be a net positive for the team going forward.

The person who writes for fools is always sure of a large audience.
Well, a lot of things for him has changed this season
and he’s learning a whole lot of new things and responsibilities, so right now, I just don’t know how much that learning curve is affected his game and his rhythm to the game.
Remember when Curry started the season, and we thought his shooting was as volume shooting bad as Jamal Crawford? To Curry’s credit, he worked through it and looked great shooting by midseason. So right now, I can’t eliminate the variable that Monta’s going through his learning curve and that’s affecting his game and making him look bad right now. Next season, if he’s still here, will be the true test.
by IQofaWarrior on Apr 13, 2010 10:27 PM PDT up reply actions
Curry is a rookie
This was Monta’s 5th season. Their situations aren’t all that comparable.
by Reverend_Randy on Apr 13, 2010 10:28 PM PDT up reply actions
Yes, but this is not Monta's 5th season
as a playmaking guard. Also, Monta has not had to be the leader and tell his teammates what to do in previous seasons. So in a sense, Monta is a “rookie” to his new responsibilities. That’s the element I’m thinking of for this season.
by IQofaWarrior on Apr 13, 2010 10:38 PM PDT up reply actions
I get what you're saying
but Monta isn’t still in that “tremendous upside potential” stage of his career. Curry was expected to get better. Maybe not this quickly, but better nonetheless.
by Reverend_Randy on Apr 13, 2010 10:40 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah,
and that’s why I think next season will be critical to judging Monta’s talent level now, especially after the moped accident. By next season, he should be more settled into being the team leader straight from training camp. With that variable removed, and with more players to keep him from playing too many minutes and not having to carry the team every night, then we’ll see if he settles down and gets into a groove with his game. If not, then he’ll definitely need to be traded for a lesser contract.
by IQofaWarrior on Apr 13, 2010 10:47 PM PDT up reply actions
Next season will be critical for a lot of players
We need to find out once and for all if Curry-Ellis can coexist in the backcourt. I still want to see what they can do with a legitimate NBA front line, and if Ellis can get rid of the chucker mentality he seemed to pick up this season. That TK Q&A with Monta was very telling, as Monta even says that he feels he has sometimes let his teammates down as their leader.
Probably more importantly, we need to find out exactly what we have at the 4 and 5. Will Beans make a comeback and is Randolph the savior everyone believes him to be? What about the Forgotten One; Broken Wing, aka Brandon Wright. Next year should be exciting. :)

Yeah
but I’m just saying his minutes aren’t actually that outrageous. He’s second in minutes per game. The guy he’s behind, Gerald Wallace, is still going strong. Rudy Gay, the third place guy, is still doing fine. Stephen Curry has played way more minutes than him and he usually does okay. Durant leads the league in minutes player and he’s still amazing.
A better excuse would be that he’s coming off of being sick and therefore not in game shape, not the minutes he’s played this year.
