Blog Buddy: Liberty Ballers | Q&A with Mike Levin
Tonight the Golden State Warriors hope to ring in the new year on the Liberty Bell (the Sixers do bring that with them when they play on the road, right?). Unfortunately Monta Ellis is expected to miss tonight's game to be at home with his family after recently losing his grandmother. While Monta takes some time to deal with things more important than basketball, there is some good news on the court for the Warriors: Steph Curry is expected to return tonight!
Hit the jump for an update on Curry's ankle and a very early look at how this team stacks up in this very young season. In case that sentence wasn't enough of a disclaimer... WARNING: VERY SMALL SAMPLE SIZES AHEAD!!
Steph Curry, Back in the Saddle
You can check out the whole story here, but let me share a couple quick quotes that I found promising.
Curry took a flight to Nike headquarters in Beaverton, Ore., on his day off Thursday to work in the company's lab on a lower, wider shoe that will give him extra support. Team trainers also are trying a new taping technique for his oft-injured ankle.
While the shoe angle is interesting, I think a good tape job is likely to have a bigger impact on ankle support, at least in the short term.
"I wanted to get in the lab and see if there was something about the shoes I was wearing that maybe didn't fit my foot right or something that maybe we could do to put in the shoe to make sure I don't turn my ankle to the outside because I naturally have that rotation," Curry said. "They're still analyzing all the data that we collected. I changed to do a different style of Nikes for (Saturday), and hopefully that will help and I would think we found a fit that will allow me to avoid those injuries."
It sounds like they took a pretty intense look at Curry's mechanics. I wonder if we'll be seeing a sprain-proof Steph Curry signature snow-shoe coming out in the coming months.
Who are these Warriors?
As I've said more than a couple times, I feel like I'm getting to know this team one game at a time. I'll be the first to tell you that doing any kind of serious statistical analysis after three games is a pretty silly thing to do, but hey, I'm hungry for some numbers so let's do some not-so-serious statistical analysis. Bring your own pinch of salt.
Offensive Efficiency:
Last year the Warriors ranked about middle of the pack on offense (13th) and so far this year they are in the same neighborhood (16th). We've seen the offense click for short spurts, but this team hasn't yet hit their stride on that end of the court. Their defense should spring them for more easy fast break buckets, but they will have to find some reliable half-court options as the season continues.
Defensive Efficiency:
This was obviously a struggle for this team last season as they placed squarely in the bottom third of the league (26th) and it shouldn't be any surprise to anyone who's watched the games so far that there has been a significant turnaround there. So far in this young season the Warriors are in the top third, ranking 6th. We've seen this team do it in different ways, creating a ton of turnovers against the Bulls, and holding the Knicks to 40% shooting. I think getting a couple early wins with a banged up Curry will probably go a long way to getting this team to continue to buy in to the coaching staff's continuous preaching of defense.
The Power of the Free Throw Line
We know how important it is to get to the line, and we also know that last years team was horrible at it. They were dead last in Free Throw Rate, and second to last in Opponents FTR. That ugly combo made them last in FTR Differential by a huge margin. They were shockingly worse than any other team in the league. So far this year they are about middle of the pack in FTR Differential, and if they can continue to play aggressive defense without sending the opposing team to the stripe repeatedly, that would be a huge benefit to the team.
That's about all the time I'm prepared to spend looking at team numbers that are likely to change pretty dramatically as the season moves on, but after only three games against some pretty tough opponents I think there are some very promising signs. We'll continue to keep an eye on things, but I can't help but feel good about this team and what they've shown us early on.
Enjoy the game, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I don't think it's the shoes
I think it’s the way he moves. I’m hoping he’ll just grow stronger over time and learn how to compensate or figure out how to move without injuring it.
A specific shoe
For Currys motion cant hurt though

The Nike Center is amazing
I toured the center where they bring the athletes for examination as part of a sports economics class. There’s some crazy high-tech stuff in there that analyzes the way people move. They had us run on a track and then were able to tell us what our run pattern had to do with our various injuries, predicting my knee and ankle problems. If it is something that has to do with the way he moves, they can tell him exactly what it is. The shoe might fix it up. I got jitters when I heard he was in Beaverton, being up in Oregon I have to deal with annoying Blazer fans and almost never get to see Warrior games on TV.
If it does end up working
Hopefully Steph will send a 1lb bag of grain or something as a thank you to the family of the 7-year-old Malaysian girl who spends her entire 16-hour shift working on this special order.

Defense
I don’t claim to be an X and O guru, but it appears to me that a big difference is the bigs. They seem to be quicker in providing defensive help so far this season, whether it’s double teaming or getting in better position to challenge shots when guys beat the guards off the dribble.
Anyone else seeing this?

Kwame Beans could end up being an interesting center. 30 minutes, 10 points, 18 rebounds, 3 blocks, 12 fouls a game (to help get opposing bigs into trouble) for $14M a year. It’s not the greatest use of cap space, but its not an utter abomination.
The key to consistent winning in the NBA is having an offense that can close games out – and you need a guy who can create his own shot and draw defense because of it. That’s Monta in a nutshell. We had the offense last year – the question was whether we were exhausted by the time things counted because we had zero bench last year and to win it pretty much alway had to be a shootout. With a deeper bench, hopefully Monta, Lee and Steph are all around the 25-27 minute mark when they come in with 8 minutes to go to ice things. Not 35. And with a bench focussed on defense, we’ll be in the 70’s when that starts – not the 90s.
If Kwame Beans has helped get the opposing bigs into foul trouble, David Lee can really go to work in the 4th quarter, working off Monta and Steph. Monta slashing and dishing and centers not being able to go after Lee as he goes for two is a great advantage
Not a bad model – a whole lot of defensive pieces that can be combined a bunch of different ways and a closeout offense of guys who have played together and know eachother
by carbonchaser on Dec 31, 2011 10:14 AM PST reply actions 1 recs
isn't Kwame Beans at 16M a year?
Kwame = 7M, Beans = 9M?
A quibble, I still like your points.
Man - this kool-aid is really good! What did you put in it?

also this guy should be smart enough to understand what to do with all this drawn defense

Even if you do succeed most people wouldn't notice anyway.

SSSS (Speaking of Small Sample Size)
I’m interested to see how differently the team plays with Curry and without Monta after seeing the opposite last game. I think a lot of people around here have hypothesized that the team would be better by virtue of subtracting Monta from the equation and, to a lesser extent, allowing Curry to be the primary ball-handler.
My biggest concern is swapping out Monta specifically for Ish Smith. I have a completely unsubstantiated gut feeling that he is terrible on offense. He seemingly dribbles down a lot of shot clock without making any progress toward getting the team a basket. He’s like someone invented a machine that can magically transform 24 seconds into 12.
Man, I don’t care nothing about no Mike Montgomery.
by bloodsweatndonuts on Dec 31, 2011 11:40 AM PST reply actions 1 recs
I kinda liked what I saw of Ish. He comes on like a little sparkplug. Good to know he can backup at PG.
as for Monta, he has the athletic ability and skill sets to do anything he wants. When Monta penetrates and dishes off for an assist, he is unstoppable. When he gets into a groove with Curry, it will be a devastating backcourt. If anyone can blend that together, it appears a former guard like Mark Jackson can do it. I am already seeing signs of that happening. Backcourt cohesion and synergy is beginning to improve between these two deadeyed scorers. So is their defensive play.
"My biggest concern is swapping out Monta specifically for Ish Smith."
But would that actually be the swap?
Wouldn’t either Rush or Thompson be candidates as well?
Twitter: @NateP_SBN.
Re: But would that actually be the swap?
I hope not, but that is “my biggest concern” not my lead-pipe-lock prediction.
Wouldn’t either Rush or Thompson be candidates as well?
I actually think they’ll start Thompson to see if he can get his shot going early and, if he doesn’t, stick him on the bench and hope for a big lead so they can re-insert him in a situation where he won’t cause them to lose.
Thomson may be even worse since Ish plays defense and doesn’t shoot every time he’s open.
I m specifically concerned with swapping Monta for Ish because it might give the Warriros less of a chance to win than if Monta or or someone other than Ish were playing. I’m concerned about swapping him out for Thompson too, but hold out the semi-irrational hope that Thompson can start hitting his shots which would open up his driving and play-making.
Rush is great for what he is which is Deavan George 2.0, sans abs of steel.

it all depends on whether Binky can hit his shots or not. Splish has good handles will get him the ball .

My answer to that would be that he’s young, relatively inexperienced, on a new team, and was given extended minutes sooner than expected. Plus, don’t you dig his handles? I am really pulling for this guy to be a quality player just so I can see some flashy handles. We haven’t had that on this team for a long time.

Tonight's line-up?
Anyone heard any early reports on who will start tonight? Gotta be Steph, Rush, Wright, Lee, Andris, right?
I believe I read something about them starting Ish at PG and Curry at shooting guard...
…with Rush coming off the bench. Of course if that combination doesn’t pan out, I expect Jackson to sub someone in pretty quickly.

it would also swing curry to a position he can't guard

Yep, Meeks goes 6'4'/210, and can light things up quickly...
Turner presents a bigger defensive challenge for Steph. Same weight as Meeks, but four inches taller. We’ll see. Hard to tell from this matchup though, because Curry is not 100% speed-wise. Critical, when you are giving up some inches on the defensive end. I do not think Steph will have any problem scoring over both of them!

Going Small...
Anyone else surprised by how often Jackson is going small so far this season? Andris and Brown have played for a lot of short spurts, but they seem to get pulled pretty quick most of the time. We’ve seen a lot of line-ups with only one big and with Dominic and Wright spending a decent amount of time at PF. You’d think with Curry missing time, and now Monta being out, they would play the bigs more to allow Wright and Dom more time at the wing so they don’t have to play with three guards as often. Seems like Udoh, Andris and Brown could all handle a few more minutes out there.
Hey, it’s been working so I’m not complaining, but I have been surprised.
I think it’s more about adjusting to the opposing team. I know the bulls pulled their centers out first…

I dunno if he is out of game shape or just struggling early on, but the more I watch him the more I’m convinced that he should be a backup and not a starter, Even when he’s the only starter in with the 2nd crew he’s virtually invisible

Alsp Curry needs to stop getting in fould trouble
The team needs him too much for him to be missing minutes on ridiculous fouls, dude needs to clean that up
Ugh.
The ref needs to step it up. First foul of the game with 50 seconds left in the first? That’s sacrilege. Seriously. The refs have the quietest whistles in the league for the Dubs.

I know its only one half to analyze
But I’m mostly convinced that Monta works better with Lee than any other Warrior. Lee is taking alot of jumpers and iso plays
Without Monta
Sixers know they can trap and slow down Curry
jesus
udoh sucks, lee sucks, everyone not named curry sucks
And now Lee is complaining about not getting foul calls

i mean if you expect to dump it into lee and ask him to get buckets its not going to work
i agree though using P&R to get him in the high post and if he has the ball allow him the option to hit the jumper or pump and drive or find a cutter exploiting a bad rotation
of course Monta is the only guy that really makes this possible

Correlation is not causation. The Knicks game was pretty ugly as well until we got hot in the fourth.

I just don’t think that he should be traded because he brings a lot of athleticism to the table, the Warriors don’t have many playmakers

What happened with Legos, they used to be simple. Oh come on, I know you know what I’m talking about, Legos were simple. Something happened out here while I was inside. Harry Potter Legos, Star Wars Legos, complicated kits, tiny little blocks. I mean I’m not saying its bad I just wanna know what happened.

Biedrins has played only 9:12

if anyone's crazy

except
beans hasn’t played well the last 2 years
Then the question becomes
is Biedrins really playing as well as he appears to be? Remember, we were wondering why Nellie wasn’t playing until Nellie publicly called out Biedrins for hiding on offense. It would not surprise me if something similar is happening here.
by IQofaWarrior on Dec 31, 2011 7:58 PM PST up reply actions
possibly
but if jackson really cares about defense as much as he says he does i don’t think the argument can be made that the defense is better with beans (or kwame for that matter) off the floor
unless it's because the Sixers are scoring from the perimeter
And Jackson feels they need a more mobile lineup to defend the midrange/3s. That’s about the only guess I could think of.
by IQofaWarrior on Dec 31, 2011 8:01 PM PST up reply actions
not even just tonight tho
all year beans/kwame has made this team better when they’re on the floor
Then I have no other guess as to what Jackson's reasons are if he's not playing Kwame/Biedrins

I didn't say anything about shot blocking.
He doesn’t even contest shots, hand in the face, jump with his hands up, pressure the ball carrier. None of that, he puts in very little to no effort on D. It doesn’t take defensive skill to do any of that, just effort and heart. With all his hustle on O, he doesn’t use any of that on D.
"I'm not a big vegetable guy'' he says. -Tim Lincecum
Ah I got you
Yeah he’s not much of a player on defense. I do feel that he was more active on defense on the first couple games, mostly on pick and rolls where he would hedge hard and return to his man quickly.

Honestly...
This is the reason why I don’t believe in the Warriors yet and will continue not to believe (yet). To an extent they seem like the same old Warriors. Beat some quality teams and get destroyed by medicore ones. It annoys the hell out of me that they are down 25 when up 13 earlier (even though it was the 1st) and keep settling for jumpshots.They seem slow and aren’t the same Warriors that had great hustle on defense. It seems that Mark Jackson focused so much on defense that the offense is horrid and it has been for a few games already it’s just the defense over shadowed it before.
i agree with most of your points..
however, I would give the 76ers a bit more credit..they are above average …definitely not “mediocre”..they have kept all their parts coming off a playoff season…I know they are in the East but they are far from a bad team
by JimBarnett2KevinGarnett on Dec 31, 2011 8:09 PM PST up reply actions
The 76ers...
Didn’t they just lose to the Jazz and are 1-2? Personally compared to the Bulls and Knicks they are somewhat medicore 7th/8th seed?. I’ll give them credit for some of the nice 3 point shooting and shots they took but I also blame a lot on the Warrior’s defense. After they built a solid lead, Philly had no pressure so they could literally shoot some bad shots with no reprecussions. After the first 3 games I wondered if they could keep up the high energy defense (literally out hustled everyone in my opinion with all those turnovers) but as of today it seems to be they can’t.

Curry played well, passed the ball.
But guess what, players weren’t making their fare shots. It’s not Curry’s fault. When Curry was out, Monta played horrible, but the bench played good. Our bench didn’t play so good so it was a factor. Clearly our roster is not as good as people think if we lose Monta. Monta is clearly a miss and we need him.
What I would do is try and trade Monta and a few others for a serious player who Curry can complement with.
And for those bashing DLee, he just played a bad game. its not his fault that teammates cant make shots. He and Curry has the load on their shoulders. So stop it with the DLee Hate.

Big difference is that we won when we had Monta
And we lost when we had Curry. Losing Monta would not make much sense with what we know at this point of the season.

But still you can't look at just 4 games.
This season is 66 games long and honestly would you rather build around Monta or Curry for the future? Unless you think we are going to win a championship once we get rid of Curry I’ll be on board until then I think I’ll try to stick with Curry, if not both.
Losing Monta would not make much sense with what we know at this point of the season.
Well, as long as we’re going to totally ignore the six seasons before this one and base our assessment on a four-game sample size: what exactly is so valuable about a player who can’t make his shots at even a half-decent clip (.481 ts%), can’t rebound his way out of a paper bag (2.2 rebs per 36), and whose team is 18 points better on defense and 22 points better on offense when he sits?

curry made passes and was looking to pass. but players did not convert shots. Our offense was just horrible with the exception of Curry. Our bench is filled with Defensive players, thus our offense could not be had. Our starting 5 is clearly not offense oriented with Monta out.
So with that said, if we are looking to trade Monta, might as well find some good complementary players FOR Curry.

I said this last season and it looked incredibly true this game
Curry doesn’t make plays for his teammates. He’s great passing on the fastbreak and he can make the good obvious pass, but alot of the looks guys were getting were perimeter shots. Monta’s penetration creates dunks for Lee and Beans and/or creates putback opportunities. Curry had 4 assists and 5 turnovers largely cause his passes were to guys in jump shooting locations and not close to the rim.

Yup. That is one point I agree with you.
Monta drives and dish clearly makes plays for alot of our teammates. That is why the combo of Curry/Monta is so fucking deadly. But when Monta is out, our offense is anemic when players other than Curry is not hitting shots. That is not a knack on Curry because Curry does make good passes, but a knack on other players who are in the starting 5.

Let me rephrase
I’m not saying Curry is responsible for people not making jumpers. I’m saying the reason he doesn’t have alot of assists is because he relies on people to make jumpers to get them. He doesn’t get close to the rim looks for people. He doesn’t create dunks or putback opportunities
yeah i agree. that is monta's strengths.
That is one part of Curry’s game that will be very hard to add just because he isn’t “athletic” enough. If he can add that to his arsenal, then he would be the second coming of Steve Nash. However, I think Curry just played a bad game tonight because I think we all know how good Curry is and how he makes his teammates around him good too.

Happy New Ye...
so I’m not watchin the game, but from the stats and other games I have seen, I’m not happy with Klay, he seems more of a project than Jeremy Tyler…
Also, I think this team needs Monta, cause they showed they can win w/o Curry, but so far no Monta, no chance (again I’m not watching the game, at one point I saw Lee was 5-20, so I’m sure there are factors I’m missing, but people are quick to jump on Monta ALL THE TIME [or so it seems], and I’m not trying to start a debate, but maybe some should let off him a bit…)
and why so little playing time for Beans?
Based on this game Curry is as much point guard as Louis Williams..

Based on this game, the Warriors have no offense outside of Curry and Ellis.
That’s why you can’t base something off of one game.

You can't put that on Curry
He had to be the main scorer tonight because nobody else could make shots, not because he couldn’t get them the ball.

Ouch!
I changed the channel to watch Jeremy Lin squeeze in a few minutes against the Kings and next thing you know, the Warriors are down 16 points.
The Warriors looked like they need Monta to not only to score but to create shots of others. Curry by himself can’t quite do it all.

The warriors need someone besides curry to make a shot
Monta really has nothing to do with this.

We lost basically because not enough assists. Both Curry and Ish do not pass
TO and rebounds
are actually about the same on both team

Whoa. Curry made passes but players did not convert.
Ish is just ugh whatever. But Curry clearly TRIED to do all the good things and get players involved. But the offense was just shit.

Curry had some awful turnovers and people were settling for too many jumpers

Curry does not pass and still TOs

those turnovers were forced turnovers.
Albeit he did make those turnovers. He tried to pass. Saying he didn’t have enough assist is not whether he passed well, but is on whether players finished the play.

But yes I do agree with alot of you that Curry had a bad game.
But this game should not be a knack on Curry because clearly the whole team played horrible. 5 turnovers is just hideous.
curry & iggy TEAM USA buddies.
Dogging Curry
Curry did everything he could to keep the Ws in the game. Everyone else other than Beans and Rush just sucked. Honestly, this made me question Jackson’s coaching a bit. Why did Jenkins get no run? Why is Biedrins never playing?
The only people watching this game saying that Curry is the problem are people who want to defend Ellis. Did they not see Ellis try to give the game away for 3 quarters before playing well in the 4th on New York? I am not a Monta hater, but be real. We won the New York game because of Rush, not Ellis.
Philly is a good, deep, athletic team. We apparently do not match up well against that kind of team yet.
Alot of the people dogging Curry were dogging Ellis's first 3 quarters against NY
Reality, people have alot more problems dealing with criticizing of Curry then they do of Ellis. Ellis was getting absolutely roasted for his 3 quarters against NY on here. But you criticize Curry for having 5 turnovers, for not creating enough for his teammates, and its OMG HOW CAN YOU SAY SUCH A THING?!!?
…cause in this game it was true.
by kyzah on Dec 31, 2011 8:32 PM PST up reply actions 1 recs
I'm just saying
If you were watching the New York Game, I understand people complaining about Ellis because New York was only in the game because of Ellis’ horrible shot selection.
Watching this game, what stood out was Lee’s chucking and horrible defense, Kwame’s lack of offense, Dorrell’s offensive inabilities this year, and our new defense’s absolute inability to handle an athletic team. Criticizing Curry would not be in my top 5 complaints about the team tonight.
by pericles31081 on Dec 31, 2011 8:43 PM PST up reply actions
exactly. we should lay blame on what is clearly a deficiency.
Number one thing i think we need to focus on is the WING position. Dorell was a nice story last year, but watching this game, UGH he can’t create and dribbles way too much. Very indecisive and just not aggressive at all.

Forgot one of our biggest problems
Only Rush and Lee can draw fouls. Jackson should force the whole team to watch 2 hours of Maggette do the only thing he does well.

BLOW UP THE TEAM
TRADE EVERYONE.
extrabaggs
"Just your typical Giants scoring rally: A faceburger on the basepaths, two errors from the second baseman and a bases-loaded balk."
Reading the Preview of the Q&A of Liberty Ballers pisses me off even more.
The Warriors tonight literally proved everything he said incorrect.
"Mike Levin: The Sixers aren’t a good offensive team. " 107-79 when we have yet to go over 100
ML: A big man. Hawes has been surprisingly and hilariously awesome in the first three games but he’s got a limited offensive game and can’t do much of anything on the defensive end Hawes dominated us shooting amazing and kept our bigs from scoring
ML: Thad’s relatively useless in the post because bigger 4’s can out-muscle him and get anywhere they want to. I gave up mid way through the game but from what I saw earlier he was doing pretty well in defense.
1. Speaks volumes of our defense tonight.
2. Hawes has been working very hard off-season and looks in shape and locked in.
3. Thad is on my fantasy team, but he is soft on the block – speaks volumes of our front line poor post offense
Like I said earlier
Our defense has been exposed. I don’t know that it has been that greatly improved but we just out hustled everyone and I don’t know if we do that for 62 games straight as shown tonight.
I was wondering when the other shoe would drop
We don’t have a lot of great individual defenders, so we need to make it up with effort. That only takes you so far.
If you're watching a blowout, you can pass the time by counting the double teapots.

More reason to blow everything up if you’re going to proclaim yourself a “defensive-minded” team. We simply don’t have the personnel to play consistently good defense. Of our starters, four are inconsistent on that end, arguably atrocious, and our lone, relatively “solid” defender of the group rides the pine.
I would give them a few more chances
Even the best defensive teams have their nights. There still is the road and few other teams that I want to see how they do. But if they honestly keep getting blown out when their defense breaks down for just a bit then I’ll make some changes.
The thing is, what we’ve seen is basically what we’re gonna get. It’s not like our starters are all new to the league; aside from Curry, they’re all played in the league for over 6-7 years each. They’ve been around long enough and have shown that they simply aren’t good defenders. Nothing, barring some sort of miracle, is going to somehow morph our mish-mash of piss-poor defenders into a defensive power.
look on the bright side

Guys don't worry about this game. We're 4 games into this season.
We played without Monta (like it or not hes that important). We just need to regroup and take it game by game. The sixers are clearly a good team and we should never dispel them. They have real talent in each position and a good bench.

It's so funny how many will disregard players after a bad game.
Its not like Curry is continually a cancer of this team. If we want change we need to change from position that is clearly a mishap: the center position.

I agree we haven't been able to use a good PnR game with Curry and Lee tonight.
But we have had in the past 3 games even with Monta and Lee. This game was just a bad game. Lets just bring in the new year and lets play phoenix and hope we get a win.
Lets prove us all wrong and play a good game where we won’t be so nit-picking.

W’s never have been able to use any PnR game with Curry and whoever (and why exactly Lee -why not Biedrins who got good hands and great timing)
i dunno is it really so -would like to see Evanz bring up some Synergy data
but it certainly feels that W’s offense is limited
-everything is OK while 3pt shots are falling
goddamnit and W’s coach is ex PG!

They are a good team
But we made them look like contenders. Anyways I’ll believe in them once we do well on the road with Monta and don’t get blown out again. It’s not just this game either, the Clippers game was like this at the fourth quarter.
just like how Chicago and Knicks made us like Contenders?
The Clippers game was the first game of the season and a christmas game; Lots of pressure. Clippers were just better and CP3 proved it that he is THE PG. Our defense held up with the CLips for 2-1/2 quarters. But after that, we just sucked.

I'm okay with trading Monta
My problem with the “trade Monta” philosophy is, who do we trade him for? I thought Iggy for Monta was an okay deal. But I don’t think we should trade Monta for table scraps or anything like that.
Ultimately, Monta is an athletic playmaker, and he is worth more than what we assume he is worth. Yes, he turns into a chucker if you don’t keep him in check, but he is an athletic SG in a league without a lot of athletic SGs.
If you're watching a blowout, you can pass the time by counting the double teapots.

Monta for Dre is bad for us
We can’t afford an offensive downgrade since we only have 3 scorers
RIP Al Davis
I don't see how the Chicago and Knicks made us look like contenders
We out hustled them and had more energy. If you think back to Chicago they actually made a great come back down 16 I think and made it close to 9. If Derrick Rose played a little better I don’t know if we might have come out with the win. The Knicks had both superstars playing awful. So even though it is arguable we beat them convincingly we didn’t blow them out like the Clippers and Philly did to us tonight.
So i ask you.
what is the main difference between Chicago and Philly in terms of player contribution? Because to me we just played like shit tonight and seemed out of sync. We really missed Monta.
secondly, what can be done? Everyone, especially this season, has had their ups and downs. I.e. Knicks, Chicago, Lakers. All I’m saying is its too damn soon to be nit-picking on matters not that exaggerated. We lost to a good sixers team who clearly outplayed tonight. They exposed our defense.
This warriors team is just so unpredictable.

by bimmercirem3 on Dec 31, 2011 8:50 PM PST up reply actions
Unpredictable?
Like every other season. I’m nit-picking because if the Warriors remotely played with the effort they did the first 3 games and didn’t settle for plain jumpers when everything wasn’t going in then I wouldn’t be so disappointed but after watching tonight I’m worried how we’ll do on the road and the rest of the season every time our defense falls apart we seem to get blown out.
