PrintUPDATE (2:55pm): Make sure to check out more good words over at Fear the Beard in Because you never know what's going to happen, that's why.
---------------------
For tonight's shootout I was accompanied by my man DT from the almighty Fear the Beard. We were tossing around over/under for tonight's game at 280 and 300. We didn't quite attain that level of Nellieball and Seven Seconds or Less, but that's just fine.
Just fine indeed.
Why? Because we got...
MOR-ROW! MOR-ROW! MOR-ROW!
REG-GIE! REG-GIE! REG-GIE!

Knicks 117, Warriors 128: "We are making the Warriors look like the Showtime Lakers."
JUMP- but not like you're jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge!
New York, New York
Let me get this out of the way. I LOVE me some New York.
Fine-art Friday: the art of agitation. [Fear the Beard]
DT always got the (as they say in NY) illest threads!
There's only really two places worth living in in the continental United States. The Bay Area and New York. Miami ain't so bad either, but honestly Miami probably already hit its peak with the first Bad Boys in 1995.
Not those bad boys!
Around the Association: 2009-2010 Detroit Pistons: The Return of the Bad Boys
Even CSI Miami and Horatio probably peaked last season. (They're still very good though.) So that leaves us with the Bay Area and New York.
30 Wins or Less without Amare Stoudemire, Shawn Marion, and Steve Nash.
Broadway comes to the Roaracle:
- Poor David Lee. How do you put up 37 points, swallow 20 rebounds, and drop 10 dimes and not win? Lee is an All-Star. He's Troy Murphy on steroids. He's a game changer. He's a keeper. If Donnie Walsh and Mike D'antoni are foolish enough to let him go this summer, then let's hope the Dubs get creative (okay who am I kidding?) and snatch him up. David Lee is the man. This cannot be disputed.
- Milk Carton: Tracy McGrady. Seriously who is this imposter and what have you done with the real T-Mac? Quite frankly (and keep in mind I'm a HUGE McGrady fan) I don't think he's anything more than a 10th-12th man in this league at this point. I really, really hate to say it, but right now his name is bigger than his game. PLEASE prove me wrong man.
I have no idea who this is.
- Some things never change. Al Harrington still cannot finish around the rim. I honestly think the man just doesn't have NBA quality ups and it's gotten worse with the "few" extra pounds he's put on.
- Speaking of not being in great shape (and I hate to bring this up), but T-Mac has put up a "few" extra pounds.
- Do you realize the Warriors almost surrendered not one, but TWO triple doubles tonight? David Lee got his fair and square, but don't forget Danilo Gallinari's 29-8-8.
- I'd like to nominate David Lee for the Warrior Killer Hall of Fame. He OWNS the Warriors like Larry Ellison will in just a few short months! (see Polling GSoM: Who do you want to be the next owner of the Golden State Warriors?- Larry Ellison, Mark Mastrov, Group from China, Ice Cube)
Bill Walker is visibly upset after not being tonight's Warrior Killer.
Hey, it can happen to anyone on any given night.
From New York to the Bay!
- Stephen Curry struggled shooting the rock, but you'll get no complaints from me about his performance tonight. His passing, capped with a crazy-phat-stoopid-dope (more mid-90's NY love) behind the back left-handed pass to Corey Maggette on a fast break for any easy dunk, was simply incredible tonight. The best part was the 5:1 assist to turnover ratio (which I harped on in the last against the Utah Jazz). Phenomenal job steering the ship tonigh Kid Curry- or should I say Captain Curry?
- Ronny Turiaf almost single-handedly brought the house down tonight in the first quarter. His 5 monster swats and 2 rim shaking dunks (which probably should have been called T's for hanging on the rim) were just powerful. Turiaf has had a sub-mediocre season and the injuries haven't helped, but I really dug his energy tonight. It got EVERYONE excited. I think it even made LeBron James more excited to ditch the midwest for the bright NY city lights too.
The timing on the high fives isn't always there for the fellas, but the effort is ALWAYS there.
I can appreciate that.
- Anthony Tolliver and Devean George chipped in some solid minutes tonight. Can't knock the hustle.
- REG-GIE! REG-GIE! REG-GIE! It's simply uncanny how he just keeps scoring the ball at a ridiculous rate. 11 for 13 overall for 23 points? Thankyouverymuch.
Back-2-back games for the man we all love. My WW goes to Anthony Morrow and his 35 points. AMMO's scoring was so multi-faceted today that I don't even know where to begin. From downtown, taking NYK's to whole, posting them up, putting up a floater on a fast break where he was the centerpiece = MONEY.
Pick your poison.
Is it just me or every time it's my turn to handle the post-game coverage AMMO goes Chocolate Rain? I'm the best thing to happen to him since the Knicks' defense!
Anthony Morrow on helping Warriors head coach Don Nelson get the coaching wins record: [AP]:
"I just want to be able to do that for him," Morrow said. "He gave me a chance in this league. I want to be a part of history."
Yes, players really don't like Nellie. (sarcasm for the haters)
PS: LeBron go 2 NY. Life will be good. Just ask Akeem.

Anthony "booty bump" Morrow was great tonight
This win was really fun, I got to see it in person, sat right behind a Knicks fan so that was funny, walked by Larry Riley after the game, Nellie needs 1 more to tie. It was overall a great game. Also I’d like to spend a year in NY, sounds like it would be fun living out there for a while
We all love the Warriors..
We all hate Cohan as an owner of this franchise…
Been in both all my life
The bay is the best, but NY is still NY… can’t get my jazz fix out here, gotta go back there to see some!
DUBS!!
the world capital for jazz is NY
but with Yoshi’s and the sfjazz festival (virtually year round w. two ‘seasons’) ‘round the bay here, it’s more than good. did you catch Tyner playing with Ravi Coltrane and Esperanza Spaulding in Jan at yoshi’s? how about the performance of the Haden Liberation Music Orchestra between Obama’s election and nomination? did you know that one of the few performances of the Rahsaan Roland Kirk ‘Great Black Music’ quartet w. Tyner, Elvin Jones, R.Carter went down at the Paramount in oaktown?
Whew!
I thought we were talking about the Utah Jazz at first. Thank goodness it wasn’t!

Reggie shot 11-13
According to this Boxscore. Almost perfect!
Other notes:
Curry had a negative +/- for the game, as well as the rest of starters, including Maggette and Reggie Williams.
If it was not for Morrow sun hot shooting, we would have lost. He came in off the bench in first half and that is when we got the lead going into half-time break. Then starters came back and squandered the lead, particularly Maggette and Curry. Once Morrow got back into rhythm, we started rolling again.
CJ played very aggressive defense all game, which does not really show up in stats.
I hope they sign Morrow for next year, we will need that kinds of offensive showing next year. I caught a bit of Utah-Lakers game afterward, if Utah had Morrow they would have been a championship material.
Haha I was gonna say...
The recap said 11-23…..and that’s not really that good.
So let me get this straight... Maggette is the healthy guy.

Yeah well...
Reggie Miller hasn’t been scoring on his “jokes”.
11/23
looks like a line ellis would have cept prob 26-30 points instead of 23, but yall clown on him for it while cheerin others
Haha. 11-23 for 26 pts does sound like Monta line.
11-13 for 23 points is a Reggie Williams line.
Helps to read the boxscore before leaping to conclusions. Even Atma Bro sometimes makes typos.
Season TS% among Warriors scoring threats…
Maggette .619
Williams .607
Morrow .602
Curry .560
Ellis .518
There will be no extra point!
Glad I caught this game. Been missing so many recently… but when we play the Knicks it is always a must-see because there will be at least 220 points by the end of the day.

Did anyone else notice that David Lee had a negative +/- yet Toney Douglas, Gallinari, and Bill Walker had a positive one? Or that Tolliver had a +28 on a night where he seemingly dissapeared? Strange night…
Well
Tolli led the way so we only got killed on the obards by -4 :D
So let me get this straight... Maggette is the healthy guy.

From the Knicks blog
Bill Russell started the game for the Warriors, inexplicably wearing a “Turiaf” jersey. He was spotted driving to the game in a silver DeLorean traveling at 88 miles per hour. He recorded 5 first-quarter blocks and a couple nasty dunks. He was seen leaving the building following the first quarter.
lmao!

Read the whole recap from over there, it’s comic gold.
I give pressure the reach-around.
by bloodsweatndonuts on Apr 3, 2010 1:25 PM PDT up reply actions
He gets off his shot in multiple ways and it always seems to go down
He seems like he is slower than everyone else- except for when he chooses to be quick
He moves great without the ball and makes nifty passes now and then
He isn’t a great defender but he’ll sneak in his hands for a strip or a block
He is INSTANT OFFENSE when he comes in the game
He shoots an impressive %
He plays like the gym rat that he is
He is a SF but can run the point
Who am I talking about?
Reggie Williams?
No, Chris Mullin – anyone else see the similarities?
I know this is a stretch – Mullin is my all time favorite warriors – but watching Reggie last night reminded me of him
A couple differences
Reggie Williams is much more articulate. Mullin talks like he’s recovering from a brain injury which was caused by inhaling the fumes from the glue that he used to glue half of his jaw shut. Mullin is even inarticulate if you just grade him against other professional athletes. It’s about time someone gives him some credit for that impressive feat.
Reggie Williams has more than a 2" vertical, but that’s just cosmetic. Mullin could finish around the rim in a variety of ways without jumping very high. You’d think he could have have helped out his BFF Harrington in that department.
I give pressure the reach-around.

You forgot “lefty”!
There will be no extra point!
by Sleepy Freud on Apr 3, 2010 11:50 AM PDT up reply actions
"lefty"!
I’m with you 100% on this one. Mullie was a total Pinko. A real Troskyite. This man was all about redistributing the hard-earned personal wealth of loyal American Chris Cohan to those who would otherwise not have been able to obtain it on the free market. He was building his own little Red Army with the likes of Patrick O’Bryant, Mike Dunnleavy & Derrick Fisher until he was discovered, tried and executed by true patriot, Robert Rowell.
Let’s hope you’re wrong about Williams though, he seems like a fine young man.
I give pressure the reach-around.

WOW!
Mullin was the greatest Warrior of all time.
Let’s not let his less than impressive run in our front office diminish his stellar success as a player
This isn’t about his unique brand of on-the-court smooth cleverness or his inconsistency as a talent-evaluator.
This is about exposing Un-American activities. Is it a coincidence that he directly funded Adonal Foyle’s political foundation by paying him to play basketball. Really? Have you seen Adonal Foyle play baskteball? Yah, ok. It has nothing to do with communism. Quote from Astalinal Foyleski:
“I started Democracy Matters to help students fight for progressive change by standing up to big money interests corrupting our democracy. I hope you will join me in the fight to change elections and change America.”
I rest my case.
I give pressure the reach-around.

Mullin was the greatest Warrior of all time.
So he was better than Wilt? Stats do lie?
Lights please, lights please, turn off the lights.
by Skeptic con Urquell on Apr 3, 2010 9:46 PM PDT up reply actions
Greatest Warrior I ever cheered for
Wilt before my time. I loved Mullin and still remember the night he was drafted. Wilt was obviously more dominant – but I only count those I saw play – not based on statistics.
Interesting on Al Harrington from the Knick's blog
It was announced at the beginning of the game that Al Harrington would be out for the Knicks and Monta Ellis would be missing for the Warriors, cutting the game’s ball-hog rating from a 1,000 to a 12. Unfortunately, the number skyrocketed to 5,000 when Harrington actually stepped onto the court in a display of impressive horribility (just made that word up). Al shot 3 of 12 against his former team (whose crowd booed the hell out of him every chance it got) for an astounding -25 in the plus/minus column. Jesus, Al.
It’s a pretty funny recap.
I give pressure the reach-around.
