Mark Jackson
On Tonight's Game:
"Got to give our guys credit. Ish (Smith) is a guy that was on the streets a week ago looking for a job and here he is playing...counted on to make plays. He did an outstanding job. Had seven of our first 10 points he made mistakes but he's' not playing for a coach that's going to cuss him out and yell at him. I'm going to nurture him; I'm going to love him. He responded, he really gave us some quality minutes and gave us a chance to win this game. Brandon Rush was outstanding...again. Rebounding, scoring and taking advantage of matchups. At the end of the day the thing I love about him the most is that he'll never put himself in a position to make a mistake offensively. He knows exactly who he is, and plays to his strength. It's a great, great win for us."
On Defending Carmelo Anthony:
"This is going to be strange to hear, but we are a defensive team. It's a shocker. Great players are going to come in against us whether it's home or away and they are going to have great nights. It's our job to make it tough and not hold our heads down. Follow the game plan, understand what we are willing to give up and if a guy scores 40 it's going to be 40 on our terms as opposed to on his terms. Ultimately, we did a great job paying attention to the game plan and the strategy. If a guy heats up it's up to me and the coaching staff to make the adjustments. Our guys did a great job of competing. For the first time, since I can remember, the defense has given a chance to win a ball game. The way we defended in the first half put us into position to win the game in the second half. "
Monta Ellis
On Playing Defense Well Early in the Season:
"We had enough training camp to be on the same page. That's our focus, to play defense. We are just going out there and getting the job done. That's what is keeping us in the game and getting a win versus NBA teams like this."
On Flipping the Switch in the Fourth:
"It was like something came down and twinkled on me. My teammates and coaches just said keep going, our defense is keeping us in it. Great players come in and close games. That's what they wanted me to do. I came out and made couple of shots, got everybody else involved and we won the ball game."
Brandon Rush
On Being Labeled a Defensive Team By Coach Mark Jackson:
"I think everybody is buying into what Coach Jackson is talking about and giving a lot of effort in the defensive end. We are getting big stops and getting out running like we do."
On the Opportunity with the Warriors:
"It's a fresh start for me and I'm taking full advantage of it."
Dorell Wright
On The Difference Between Game 1 to 2 and 3:
"We know we can be a good team. I think a lot of jitters, playing on Christmas with everyone watching but we don't want to use that an excuse. We let the game go in the fourth quarter but now guys are buying into the system and really trusting each other. That's what it's about, trusting everybody. That's what makes good defensive teams when you have four guys behind you that you know who will be there if you get beat. Guys are buying into the system, playing hard and winning feels good. A lot of guys in here won 36 games last year; we don't want to go through that this year. We want to make the playoffs and be a contender."

Notes
- No interesting notes to add tonight.
What's next?
- The last home game of the homestand and the last game of 2011 is on New Year's Eve at at earlier time of 6:00pm against the Sixers.
- My guess is that Stephen Curry will be back in that game.

"I'll have to look at the tape" - mike singletary
REALLY Liked
tonight’s performance… I think the major thing I noticed was the turnaround of this warriors club from the 1st half to the second half. Last season, we would NEVER have done this well defensively with the Knicks and we did not have a B Rush / McGuire bench that plays such great defense. But our defense kept us in it, and the Warriors all made a great rebound in the 2nd half. I really think Jackson and Malone have respect and have the Warriors players believing in defense.
However, I am not ready to proclaim this a playoff team until they accomplish ONE THING. They need to take this defense and hustle ON THE ROAD against other teams. If they can perform well on the road (which we don’t know if they will because they haven’t played one yet), then this is a playoff team for sure. Historically, in the past couple of years the road has been very unkind to us…
by Warriors Fanatic on Dec 28, 2011 10:29 PM PST reply actions
However...
I have to say that if they win AT SAN ANTONIO for the first time in that building… then I’m entirely on the bandwagon (given that there’s no major injuries…). San Antonio Spurs have had our number in the past… and beating the Spurs on January 4th would make the Warriors look REALLY good…

Wooohooo!
Loved seeing Rush play so well – finally we have depth!
Loved seeing Chandler, Carmelo struggle – great job on defense!
Great job by Ish as well, and nice job by Monta coming back strong to in the fourth.
If we can play defense like this all season = playoffs!
Yeah baby!
Maybe you are not ready for the the kool aid just yet, but you better go put a mug in the freezer so it is all nice and frosty when you are ready.
Man - this kool-aid is really good! What did you put in it?
well done
Am a blazer fan but no blazers tonight, so watched your game.
Nice to see an up and coming western team give those east coast prima donnas a thrashing!
Some say GSW has a shot at the playoffs this year and I can believe it. Knicks will probably make the playoffs but only because you can be a C- team in the east and still make the playoffs.

you know melo and amare is better than that. they missed wide open shots. i know we’re not the West, but believe me the knicks would make some noise if they were in the West also. but tonight was ugly, sloppy b-ball.
Yes, I am a Giants fan. Now that we got that out of the way....

THANK YOU!!!I
I’ve been wondering how we could find his videos, now that they are private.
Some Thought
1 – Kwame. Do Not Lay up the ball. JUST DUNK IT.
2 – Dorell – Stop with the Pump Fake. All it does is ruin your rhythm and at this point the only way to trick your defender would be to go up and shoot in one motion.
3 – As nice as Monta’s 4th Quarter was, this team needs Curry running things.
4- Brandon Wright will be starting at the 3 pretty soon instead of Dorell
4 – Jackson is rubbing off on this team. They are COOL under pressure!
uh...
Brandon Rush

Dorell plays too timid sometimes, when he has the potential to be a star.

They were pretty bad actually
but expect them to be a lot better vs you guys. I wouldn’t take much from this game, except ways to encourage them to play badly, but those are already known.
I think you’ll be fine, considering how the defense has been pretty good in 2 of your 3 games so far. You’re just going to need to execute on offense.
http://nbawarriors.wordpress.com/
Agreed
Our offense has not been doing too well, but I’m hoping our offense will get better as we play more games.
Proud to be a brony.
Gasol was better yesterday, and your bench looked pretty good
but it was the Jazz, so hard to take anything from that.
Easiest way to beat them would definitely be just making your outside shots. We didn’t, but they seem very uninterested in closing out on those, but rather clogging the paint.
http://nbawarriors.wordpress.com/
I'm a huge fan of Monta Ellis but..
I just don’t believe he is understanding/ or is happy with his “new” role on this team run by Mark Jackson.
Barring the 4th Qtr ressurgence, he had a horrible game. I believe the fact he is not longer seen as the “alpha dog” of the team, it is seriously affecting his confidence and hence he is playing a lot worse and being detrimental to the team as well. We saw this in the first 3 qtrs and also for long stretches of the clippers game.
MJ has to work out how to get the best out of Monta Ellis. He is hugely talented and can destroy defenses and turn games very quickly as we saw late in the game. I think MJ did well today. I want to see how he deals with Monta when the whole team including him is having an off night. That might be the real test.
Till then, well done warriors…. Im watching on league pass from down here in Australia and theres a feeling that this warriors team has enough in them to win these ugly games- something we werent able to do in the past!
Great acquisition in Rush. He’s already achieved more than what Lou did all last year!
I really like Ish Smith. Besides his quickness, He also gets in the opponent’s face and can be quite annoying. I would like to see him used more often in the future.
What a game, guys. Great effort.
Monta is just a knockdown shooter. I look forward to him playing more PG in the future.

The worst part about this game is that people might think Ish Smith, Brandon Rush and Dominic McGuire are good players.

lol, they're not terrible
they’re just not starter material
Brandon Rush is a good player
I don’t know so much about Ish or Dom, but they both looked very good tonight. They’re only here to fill their roles, so I don’t see any reason they can’t be good all season.
http://nbawarriors.wordpress.com/
Brandon Rush looks like a solid player
McGuire is fine as a defensive minded backup.
Ish…while has been decent scoring, does not look like the back-up point he is supposed to be. Much better suited to the bench.

He pushes the pace very well, on offense and on defense
kind of a havoc guy. scoring and passing are alright, but it’s really his speed. it gives us a new gear on both ends
http://nbawarriors.wordpress.com/
He is very fast
Doesn’t seem to be the type to run an offense though. So, not the kind of guy I’d like as our backup point.

klay seems like more of a liability so far
hasnt done anything much to prove his worth for more PT
Yeah
klay looks like he’s still adjusting to NBA speed.

gg fellas, that was a bad showing by my team
i liked our defensive intensity, but hated our offense. without a true PG(read, B.Davis) there is no one currently on our team with court vision. Melo might have the most court vision out of anyone. so we may look like this many nights, especially when both melo and amare are off on the same night.
good luck going forward, i’ll be rooting for you and mark jackson.

yeah, you had a bad game definitely
hopefully tyson and carmelo realize they still have something to prove before they parade around the court like they did on sunday
no offense, but they attitude they had disgusted me, and I expected better from both of them (who I have always liked)

I hope they get their heads in the right place, cuz if they do, I think they might be the only team in the East with a chance against the Heat the next couple years. I’m not a fan of easy playoff paths for anyone, and if the Knicks don’t challenge, that’s what the Heat will have.

Great game. They need to run more after rebounds though!!!!!!
Btw, since Monta has been rocking Jordans this season. Jordan Brand should sign him!!!! It would be a good for him and his publicity. He would get more recognition. =)

Beans again was only used in short spurts
He was eating up boards, offensively I think he scored once off a cut if I remember right, or it was after a offensive board, not sure. Lee’s defense was decent enough, once or twice he left Amare open for a jumper but he only really hit one where he was open . He guarded Amare quite a bit and did alright, he got dunked on though
RIP Al Davis
Beans scored on a cut
And even managed to put the shot up in fairly heavy traffic

solid.
not a lot of playing time, but incredible hustle when he was out there
I think I finally see why his minutes are so limited. Mark Jackson wants to only use him when he’s at full energy, so he can be everywhere, rather than tire out and stand around.

Yeah, i saw no foul trouble and like 8 rebounds in 12 minutes lol.

i actually kind of like it
and he and kwame weren’t all that needed because chandler was in foul trouble all night.
keeping your big men fresh is a big luxury. look at the Lakers with Pau the last couple seasons, especially with the times Bynum has been out. he just gets so worn out.
i really don’t like Fesenko the player, but if he helps keep our bigs fresh even against the teams with better big men who don’t get in foul trouble, it may end up being a good move
http://nbawarriors.wordpress.com/
Also Udoh
He stats don’t show it well, but he came in and essentially just took the ball away from the Knicks everytime

lees defense was good on amare. held position and forced jump shots
got over-matched a couple times, but that’s expected, amare’s just more athletic in every way. other than that, Lee was pretty good on D

So at the game in the first half I loved Ish and I felt like he and Rush kept us in it
In the 2nd half Rush went off, everyone was praising him and Kwame with McGuire shut down Amare and Melo, Rush wasn’t too shabby on defense either or on the boards. I honestly didn’t notice Monta was so dominant in the 4th, I knew he improved cause he was going to the rim and hit two big time 3’s that made the place explode but I had no idea he was that dominant
If we had Curry I think we would have won by 20+ easily, it was dominating in the 4th. I also didn’t notice Andris had 7 boards in 14 minutes, he’s doing work. That was an incredible win. But oh man that Monta 3 from the top where he just stared his man down RIGHT after Dorell’s 3, oh man.
RIP Al Davis
man the knicks defense sucks
how many times did the warriors just go find Bibby and then catch him on a switch? Or Amare floating around the 3 point line while Monta and Rush drive the lane? I mean Lee had so many open lanes off those monta drives.
warriors effort, loving it, i dont care how good they are or how dumb the knicks are but when you punk Amare and Melo into settling for 20 footers every other play, you are doing something right. hopefully the knicks half-@—— effort doesnt skew with the barometer of the Dubs performance tonight. but then when i realize their offense cant get much better because their point guard situation will not improve much and they struggled to defend the Paul Pierce less Celtics who dropped 102 on them and went down to New Orleans who held them to 79 without Eric Gordon i think we can say that the defense is working
they got sucked up in the clippers hype game 1

okay but the hornets did not have gordon
jarrett jack and carl landry went off. besides jack, landry, and kaman, who do the hornets have for offense? we know monty can coach defense but the celtics are the epitome of defense
the knicks nearly blew that game to them and the c’s even though a little ragged should have had more rhythm than game 1

warriors.com mp3s. David Lee, Charles Jenkins tweet. Matt Steinmetz article on why the Warriors HAVE to be a defensive team.
Udoh
wow, playing at pf where he should be, he was all over Stoudemire! I was really happy to see Udoh play him strong! it was awesome, the jump ball he tied Stoudemire up with was great!
Then finally at the end of the game we saw his offense, which was looking real nice.
What I like about this game was the fact that in the blowout youn’gins got to play (in a winning game) and thus less time for ME8…
Be patient
There might be hope yet for Monta. Check out what Adam Lauridsen wrote about his response after Jackson benched him—and I think the last sentence sums it up:
Accountability — Monta Ellis had a complete meltdown in the first half and change. He couldn’t hit a shot, wasn’t creating on offense, kept losing his man on defense and refused to run out on shooters. The low point probably came when 87-year-old Mike Bibby crossed him over. Mark Jackson finally pulled the plug four minutes into the third quarter, with the Warriors down by 8. Ellis shuffled to the bench, head down and shoulders slumped. Jackson immediately went down the full length of the bench and turned his back on an entire possession to talk to Ellis. Only those on the bench know what he said, but Ellis had the next seven-and-a-half minutes to think about it. (Side note: there were strings of three games under Nelson and Smart when Ellis didn’t get seven-and-a-half minutes on the bench total.) When Ellis returned, he was a completely different player. The Warriors first three baskets of the fourth quarter were off beautiful Ellis assists. Once he got his teammates involved, his own shot started falling. He played within the flow of the offense, re-committed on defense, and gave the team the final boost it needed to secure victory.
This is exactly how coaching is supposed to work. Players — from stars to scrubs — are supposed to play in a certain way, with a certain intensity. When they don’t, they’re supposed to sit. Mark Jackson, to his credit, finally sat Ellis for his mistakes. The Warriors gave Ellis a nice, long break to think things over — despite the fact the Warriors were already missing their other star guard — then gave Ellis a chance to redeem himself, to demonstrate that he had learned from his mistakes. Ellis seized the opportunity. His fourth quarter performance was easily the best basketball we’ve seen from him all year. I was skeptical of the Jackson/Malone power-sharing when the Warriors hired their coaches, but this game shows the best-case scenario for how it can work. Malone comes up with a great Xs and Os strategy, Jackson manages the basketball personality issues from a position of former-player credibility. An extremely well coached win from start to finish.
Thinking about it long term, if Jackson can truly break Monta’s bad habits and mold him into a crafty distributor, then we really know this back court is going to tear it up this season.

yeah I read this
right after I posted lol
but I’m high on Monta, I like him, and not to cause debate, I think I’m partial to him over Curry. but that’s just my opinion…
also, my mistake Udoh’s points came at the end of the 3rd, awesome post and hook followed by being high in the post and doing a great spin move to a layup!!
Also if Brown dunked more often than being soft, Udoh would have had a great assist in the 3rd. His vision seems good too, and his passes are crisp, and unlikely to be lazy passes to be picked off.
Could be related to the wrist injury being alleviated.
I think I’m partial to him over Curry. but that’s just my opinion…
No worries. I want Steph to succeed because, well, I want him to succeed anywhere he goes. But do I think/want Steph and Monta to succeed together and turn this franchise around? Absolutely. And I don’t see why not. Steph can stroke it from range and spread the floor with his shooting, and Monta can slash and penetrate, finding open guys. It seems both of them are finally getting the hang of it.
Agreed on Udoh. I hope he can continue growing the way he has this offseason. He really impressed me in the few minutes he played tonight.
This pleases me to no end, especially after the Keith “Monta-Do-You” Smart era. Monta coached correctly is an actual All Star level offensive threat.

Hogwash! “Mark Jackson is one of the worst coaches in the league”—Atma Brother 1
I'm the soul brotha' like no other!
Oh come on
Cut AB1 a little slack…he’s been on this board since the beginning and he’s seen his fair share of frustrating games/game threads. Can you blame him for not being a little skeptical when a guy with no prior head coaching experience comes in to guarantee a return to the playoffs? And remember, these guys haven’t played a road game yet, let’s see how they adjust to that.
At the end of the day, as cynical as it’s easy to be sometimes with this team, everyone in this community wants to see a successful franchise take the steps necessary to compete for a championship. Like I said: patience—with the team and with each other.

NO!
You assume how Jackson will do/be and you make an ass out of you (u) and me… he’ll gladly take the flack as I’m sure he’s rooting for the dubs, it will subsist later in the season.
And if spiderman ever taught me anything is that with great power comes great responsibility, so if Atma says something people are going to take notice.
makes me wonder did Jackson really plan from the start to do the Ish-Monta switch in the 4th
or did monta’s poor play and rush’s explosion during Monta’s benching spark something in him to make the change in the 4th?
