What goes around comes around -- in more ways than one, but let's focus on how the much-maligned Cavs stumble into town with the injury bug. As Cleveland Plain Dealer beatwriter Mary Schmitt Boyer tweeted:
@PDcavsinsider: Varejao's in walking boot. He's out indefinitely. Gibson (ankle), Powe (knee) not here. Parker (back), Graham (quad) out.
Officially, list of Cavs injuries goes like this: Joey Graham (right quad strain), Daniel Gibson (left ankle sprain) and Leon Powe (right knee contusion) are out. Anthony Parker (low back strain) and Anderson Varejao (left ankle sprain) are questionable.
Udoh show?
Not too long ago, the Warriors were pretty decimated too. Now, it's the Cavs turn. And with Andris Biedrins still hurt, Varejao out, Powe hurt, does this mean a break-out game for Ekpe Udoh? I really hope Keith Smart can leverage the opportunity.
You like Jamison or Powe?
Random (perhaps insignificant) thought: I've been critical of the Warriors' youthful oncourt mental errors and general lack of girth from the roster's top to bottom.
I'm wondering, very superficially and without looking at any salary numbers, would Antawn Jamison (veteran-wise) and/or Le-Po (girth-wise) be a good addition to the Warriors' roster in some sort of deal?
Predictions:
- Big game for Udoh (aforementioned).
- Big game for Jamison, since he's coming back to Oracle where he hit for 50 two games in a row and with Boobie out, will be relied upon for more scoring.
- Big game for Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis. Who's gonna guard them?
- Dorell Wright cools down a bit. I don't know, just a hunch. The Cavs' small forward Alonzo Gee is not that bad.
- Warriors win by 20. Too much talent versus the completely depleted Cavs, which is the least-talented team in the NBA even at full strength.

With the likely loss of Vlad Rad at the end of the season, we will likely need a larger SF/PF would can extend the defense. Jamison would provide this, as well as a nice post game, which is absent from the play of Lou, Andris, and DannyG. We could really benefit from a consistent midrange scorer, as to not rely on Dorrell’s 3ball, D.Lee’s inconsistent midrange J, and Monta. Plus, Antwan would be back in the bay where we know he belongs (who can forget the 50-50 games). I think his game would benefit significantly from exciting GSW basketball – i hate to see him withering away in a terrible basketball city (after LeGrinch James stole hoops from Cleavland)
The point being – Antwan would look good playing GSW winning basketball. Period.
Jamison
for $15 mil next season?
no thanks, we just don’t need him that bad
I would take Powe (he makes less than $1mil/year) but with Lou on the roster, Powe feels kinda redundant. Would be awesome to bring him back to Oakland though

ok...but also a meteor could crush the earth by then too
or there might be a lockout
regardless, if we lose Lou, I don’t think we should struggle all that much to find another player of Leon Powe’s caliber (heck, we could even bring Adrien back)
my bet is that Lou will be back
If I need to convince him further, I will custom build a scraper bike for him

LOL@ Jamison coming back.
Not Worth it at all.
"I thought it was going in," Warriors center Chris Hunter said. "It looked like the invisible man tipped it away at the last second."
Do you think the Warriors ought to look at Jamison and/or Powe as possible acquisitions?
how about generally speaking I like both of them but don’t want either? Wrong time, wrong place.

Warriors better stay humble and play hard – this game will be a test of how well Smart preps his guys for a team it is easy to look past. You know, kinda like we did Detroit earlier in the season?
I like that point.
On paper we should win this game, its up to the coach to ensure a win pending an astounding Cavaliers performance.

poor Cavs fans
must be rough!!
I know the Cavs are probably looking for a win tonight, but I strongly doubt it.
This looks like a blowout win for us
Nice call on Udoh mr. Commish!
I would love to see him play over 25 minutes tonight

I see monta playing all the game as Smart tries to make sure we win this one and start the homestand well.
man, you wanna feel bad for the Cavs fans?
go check out thier blog…looks like most of the threads don’t even generate 10 comments
just a tough, tough year to be a Cavs fan.
Probably worse than it was for us these last few years because while we got AR (didn’t work out, but it was at least exciting) and Steph, the Cavs got nothin this year…just a big lump of coal from basketball santa

is it better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all?
Just imagine going from potential title-contender to literally one of the worst 2 or 3 teams in the entire NBA…that’s worth at least a decade of straight sucking, right there

Feel bad for the Cavs but
lets beat em down and steal their good players in one sided trades and cheap offseason pickups
Haven't seen enough Powe/Epke Odoh/Riley
Haven’t seen enough Powe or Antawn as of late. Have to see Powe’s health, read up on what his injuries were/are.
Like Antawn. Have to see both guys’ contracts again, too lazy at the moment.
This may not be the right place and time for talking up Epke, and i don’t want to jinx anyone, but the fact right now i am talking up Udoh instead of all of us seeing the beginnings of some rookie that doesn’t look good (which quite often in the NBA players who are players look good right away, not all the time, but i digress..) ….It’s HUGE for us.
Here’s a big fat WELCOME to the team Epke Udoh!! Again, i don’t want to get in anyone’s way of continuing to show great rookie feel for the game, calmness in the storm, smooth FT shooting, nice touch around the rim, good footwork and a willingness/brain to learn. (Not to mention athleticism and length.)
The difference between this, the positive reality of Epke being what sure seems to be a good or better player (even with a slight let down from how well he’s playing now, rookies will have their tough times) and the possible reality for the Ws and us right now had he been a dud, flop, bust, headcase, etc etc….. is a meaningful difference.
Good job Riley. A bit soon maybe, but i feel that good about Epke.
Ha
Excellent! Thanks for correcting me Sleepy Freud, i mean it.
Ekpe indeed. Just like it sounds!

Jamison has this year and another left for 13+ each, which means one of two things.
Cleveland will want to keep him because next year he becomes an expiring at 13 mil. This makes him a valuable trade asset as teams in the hunt for a chip would likely explore multiple trade scenarios to get him. Teams like SA, LAL, BOS, MIA, Orl, Chi, NYK, so on and so forth.
OR
Due to the pending decrease in the salary cap, teams will run away from a 13mil dollar contract for a player like Jamison. That’s too much for him, everyone knows it. So a trade for 13 mil in expirings this season may actually be what Cleveland is looking for. 13 mil off the books before the cap decreases, use it for FA’s.
So maybe Vlad Rad, and Gadz can get Jamison back in Oakland.
Normally i'd really like this idea
I mean, even his contract is valuable, Jamison’s i mean. And i like his game, him. Wouldn’t be the worst ever trade, but…
Where’s Jamison going to play? How are those minutes going to work between Dorell, Lee, Udoh with Antawn in the GS?
And we really need more D down low, not another finesse defensive presence/offensive player (who’s more of a garbage down low/outside shooter type player than low post scorer per se.)
by supersugarCrisp on Jan 7, 2011 2:23 PM PST up reply actions
Hopefully this can
be a blowout win for GS. Get off to a good start and never let up. It would be great to get our home stand off on a good note. Also hope Udoh can have a breakout game for us

Leon Powe?!
The only thing we get with Leon Power is Jason Richardson’s face.
Win win for both teams
Warriors can gain momentum at home by kicking it off with a thorough blow-out.
The cavs can add to their own self misery as they plummet down to the Perry Jones Sweep stakes or whoever would be future savior could be for them.
"I thought it was going in," Warriors center Chris Hunter said. "It looked like the invisible man tipped it away at the last second."
I like Leon Powe. Local guy who can score the basketball (gets to the ft line well) and rebound. If we didn’t have Udoh, Lou, or Brandan, I would definitely go after him in the off season. But injuries have been plaguing him.
I don’t see any point in bringing in decent or even good bigs, and we even have depth. Between Biedrins, Lee, Amundson, Udoh, B. Wright, Gadz and even Vlad, we’re fine. We already have those. What we need is another star.
As I side note, I’m excited to watch tonight. I love Udoh so much. More of him, please.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is Monta Ellis when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
I guess B. Wright, Gadz and Vlad will be gone next year… Still, I agree with the earlier comment that Powe is redundant with Amundson. Maybe we can bring Anthony Randolph back for cheap next year. heh heh
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is Monta Ellis when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

I predict we win by 7 points.
Dubz start off the first half with a 37 point lead.
Start the 2nd half overconfident and our beloved 3rd Quarter Collapse happens.
Down by 3 at the start of the 4th quarter.
Fun stuff. Go Warriors still.

Keith Smart...
…will be the key to this game. We’re obviousbly the more talented team tonight but it’s a matter of putting players in the right positions to get a victory. Sounds cliche’ I know but it’s true. They should go out there and give a 110% too.

I can't remember the last time the Warriors had what I would call a "favorable schedule"
I also can’t remember the last time they had a full roster at this point in the season.
The stars may have finally aligned for Dub Nation. Now if we could only get the refs to do US some favors now and then…
Monta going to the All-Star is about something bigger than just him
If he goes, he will help legitimize the Warriors and begin to resurrect the team image. But in order for him to get selected, the Warriors as a team are going to have to pretty much run the table during this homestand.
VOTE FOR MONTA!!!!!!!!!!

Its official.
We can make playoffs this year if this team comes together and plays as well as they did against the Hornets.
Houston is falling off very quickly without any bigs. Denver is as well, and will be out of playoff picture once Melo is gone. Warriors have a real chance!

Andris when he looks energized can be a good defender, he looks energized. I think him and Udoh should split minutes since they do different things . one is a rugged defender, the other a pesky one. 1 a great rebounder, one a below average rebounder (but developing), 1 gets steals the other blocks.. one has no moves in the post the other has many

Ok, let’s review. Lee plays with a nickel size hole in his arm, loves playing for Golden State, when healthy is a 20/10 guy, passes as well as any PF in the league, is a great team mate and when his guy gets hurt, HE GIVES THE PAYBACK taking the fine. Meanwhile, Randolph is looking like a complete bust in NY, Kelena is still injured, and Turiaf is playing ok. How did we pay too much for Lee?

Am a total homer to think they can go 14-8 over the next 22. They are healthy, 18 of those 22 at home, little easier schedule and they are getting used to playing together.
they need to
if they want any hope of sniffing the playoffs

16-6 over next 22 isn’t impossible. Lakers and Spurs being the most difficult. And the road trip after is long, but there are some winnable games on it.

vlad improved. reggie regressed. everyone else non factor
Reggie regressed???? Hard to figure your deduction...
Reggie scored a key three pointer and a key bucket in the fourth quarter….five points when they looked like they were coming back and had cut the lead to 9….did the same thing in the fourth quarter the last game…..hard to do, especially with reduced minutes and spot minutes due to healthy roster….
His three was an really awful decision
Even Barnett said it had better go in while the ball was in the air.
The Golden State Warriors, we make Free Throws look difficult!
by Badly Browned on Jan 7, 2011 10:24 PM PST up reply actions
Sure it did
Those two baskets do not mean he has not sucked major behind for the last couple weeks.
Reggie was supposed to be our 6th man, instant offense off the bench. He isn’t providing that right now, and he’s is an awful perimeter defender to boot.
The Golden State Warriors, we make Free Throws look difficult!
by Badly Browned on Jan 7, 2011 10:37 PM PST up reply actions
He has not been playing as the 6th man...
…the rotation has been changed and he has been backing the guards exclusively….his reduced minutes and spot use are testimony to that….says nothing about his game, or, the confidence of the Coach in his abilities….you may have noticed Coach Smart has used him in crucial 4th quarter situations to get the quick-scoring ability on the court when he needs it the most – to close out WINS! The reduced minutes only makes it harder for him to get going, because he is coming in cold….by and large he has handled it well and has delivered some critical points….
Not really
What else was Smart going to do since Curry got hurt. When healthy, Monta-Curry are our closers, as seen with Smart riding Curry and Monta in the 4th Qtr of the Hornets game.
It looks like Smart has now solidified Acie-Udoh coming in first to spell Curry and Biedrins. We actually played Vlad at the SF tonight, with Udoh & Lou being the main guys backing up our frontcourt.
Reggie will get minutes to give Monta rest. Tonight he did that, with Monta playing less than 38 minutes.A little ironic Reggie misses the wideopen treys he had but hits the 4th Qtr Trey with a defender on him.
The Golden State Warriors, we make Free Throws look difficult!
by Badly Browned on Jan 7, 2011 10:53 PM PST up reply actions
Check out his stats...he still shoots lights out, even coming in cold, with spot minutes...lol
…..by the way,,,,he has been used to spell mostly Steph and less Monta…..fairly consistently…..he is certainly not been used as a 6th man…..don’t know if you are watching the same rotations that I have been watching as they pertain to the use of Reggie….
He is third in scoring productivity per 36 minutes behind Ellis, and Curry.....
….and his True Shooting percentage is .576, with Curry, Team Leaders!
Every stat (per36) of his is down from last year with the exception of 3pt%
However, by regression, I was really talking about the last couple weeks. Perhaps “slump” is the more correct word? Reggie has been in a shooting slump. Sure, you could let him try to play it out of his system, but Reggie is not a good defender either. If he isn’t hitting shots consistently he is a negative on the floor.
Yes, he hit two buckets in the 4th quarter, but that doesn’t mean he’s out of his slump yet. It’s not even that Reggie has been aggressive and/or missing some tough shots. He’s just plain missing open looks that he should not be missing.

I also recall Barnett also said as the game was closing down that Reggie made a "key shot" of that three....
I guess no one knows better than Keith Smart how daring shots win games when they go in…..
I will say this
Reggie is due for a comeback game.
And our favorable schedule should do just that.

by Badly Browned on Jan 7, 2011 10:43 PM PST up reply actions
I do not think that you will see the kind of game you are talking about ....
….while Reggie is in this new role and the minutes that it avails him….the important thing is that he has contributed two, fourth quarter, five point bursts, at critical times, that secured two wins….so long as he can keep doing that, Coach Smart will keep him rotating that way….the kind of game you are looking for from Reggie materialized when Steph was hurt, and Reggie stepped in admirably over a four game stretch….I sure did love it though when Reggie, Curry, and Ellis were on the court at the same time….I believe we saw it in the 4th quarter against NO….
