PrintGolden State Warriors at Phoenix Suns, Feb 10, 2011 6:00 PM PST
It's hard to catch the road runner when you screw yourself over.
Golden State Warriors (23-28) @ Phoenix Suns (24-25)
TV: CSN Bay Area / Radio: KTCT 1050
Tip-Off: 6:00 pm PST
Blog Buddy: Bright Side of the Sun
With the taste of defeat against the Suns from Monday still fresh in mind, many Warriors fans are clamoring for revenge against the Suns in tonight's rematch. After all, they embarrassed us on our floor, so it's only fitting that we embarrass them on theirs. The only problem is that much of the Warriors embarrassment came from themselves. They did not look sharp, they were out of sync with each other, and couldn't hit a shot to save their lives.
So if the Warriors want revenge tonight, the first thing they must do is... show up for the game!
A few notes taken from what little I can still remember from the last game:
- Show up for the game.
- Watch out for Channing Frye at the perimeter.
- Show up for the game.
- Keep sticking Udoh against Gortat.
- Show up for the game.
- If your shot's not falling, go to the rim.
- Show up for the game.
- And the last, but greatest point: Show up for the game.

I'm definitely going to be watching more of the Celtics/Lakers game.
I’ll only be paying real attention to this one when that one ends. Also maybe during TNT’s halftime.
I'm looking forward to the Warriors being led to the playoffs by Monta Ellis AND Stephen Curry.
Now that ladies and gentlemen

It's a fan that likes basketball more than any one team.
And because that game I’m watching is actually a good one.
I'm looking forward to the Warriors being led to the playoffs by Monta Ellis AND Stephen Curry.
thats about the worst thing I've heard all week

Um...that would be just as likely to be said by a "true Celtic fan."
Plus, I’m on the Warriors blog talking about the best game on TV this week (when I could be at SS&R if I was a Laker fan).
I'm looking forward to the Warriors being led to the playoffs by Monta Ellis AND Stephen Curry.
I think I am officially...absolutely... addicted to WingStop.

why do people like that?
he doesn’t even get the ball on post ups.
makes other team stay on perimeter
his length is a force

yea that would help if he didn't kill all our spacing on offense
the problem is he does, as an SF.

Monta's
4th long 2 of the first Q. One was “excusable” but really not since it was Monta who held the ball doing nothing so long he had to shoot it.
I have no issue if he’s already feeling it, but he isn’t. I have no issue if the clock is running out, but it wasn’t for most of them (and again, the one that he had to shoot, it was him who waited too long.)
Why does he do this? Why is he not talked to about it? The coaching staff is wayyyy too easy on him, way to positive over being real.

I got an idea
How about a nightly highlight clip of the officials’ worst calls? Like ESPN’s top ten, only it’s the top ten of the NBA’s most laughably ridiculous calls.
The Warriors would have 4 of the top ten every night, and they’d frequently get number one Most Ridiculous Call of the Night.

Yep
And this should be clear to management. They need tougher, smarter, better defensive players and they need to act at this deadline, there’s no need to “see what we have” any longer. (Don’t make ANY trade, but there should be ways to improve these areas. Gortat would have helped, by the way.)
Completely not showing up like this, something they do quite often, is a sign of mentally soft players. Add to that an over the top nice guy/positive parent/cop/coach like Smart, and voila. There’s no fear or repurcusions. Only Smart’s glued on smile and nice guy approach.
Not saying they should win this, on the road, on a back to back, but the lame effort and lack of understanding other teams tendencies is alarming (not getting out on shooters, not leaving non factors on O for those shooters etc. It’s like many fans know the other teams tendencies better than our players whose job it is to know this stuff.)

Thats cool.
I think either point has validity to it regarding the FO and Lacob make drastic moves or “see what we have.”
At this point, I wouldn’t mind whatever happens. I’ll be cool with either decision because I believe in Lacob at this point. He has proven to me that he really cares about the team and about winning.
I think the problem fans have is that they are mentally damaged from the past. Understandable.
Who wouldnt right? rooting for an organization that hasnt brought a championship since 1975.
I have a different outlook on all this. The New Dubz Era started this season. So, I wont carry a chip on my shoulder because of Warriors past.
Move on.

Fair enough
I don’t even demand a ring (although that’d be nice.) I’d settle for simply being a contender from time to time. I’d settle for being a well run club that has a realistic shot.
Few teams win it all (it’s easy with so few players per side to dominate like the Bulls, Lakers etc. Lot’s of teams have never won, or haven’t for a long while.)
That said, i will NOT be OK with them standing pat this dealine (unless there just was no deal to be had. They absolutely should have an idea by now of what needs to be done.)

Word. All good man. we got different mentalities.
I aint gonna say you are wrong because I have been criticized by friends who are Laker fans and Spurs fans and WINNING TEAM fans.
Honestly. I want to tell them to STFU.
I am not the owner. and even sometimes its not ALL their fault. Yes. they are a lot to blame but everybody else in the organization is to blame.
Everyone is ALL ABOUT BLAME HIM! BLAME HER! BLAME THIS PERSON FOR THIS AND THAT.
how bout u quit your fuckin bullshit talk and quit blaming others.
Consider the situation. do what u can to correct it. and remember to work as a team from the coaches. players. all the way to the top.

Realistically, what teams out there are really going to be willing to tank it and/or made trades? Especially with the incoming CBA negotiations and a possible 2011 lockout.

All of their bad D
gets magnified by all their bad D.

he would be one to keep if his contract weren't that big
but with the new CBA coming and all, it’s gonna kill us
He and Curry are keepers
And i’ve been hearing “untradable” and “that contract’s going to kill us” for years. I’ve seen worse, way worse.
This trade deadline is huge. Let’s just hope the team is on it and new ownership is showing some balls behind the scenes.

I stated that last year.
Lee was a player doing good on a terrible team, the only “good” player. But hell people’s excuses were “HE WAS AN EASTERN ALL-STAR”
Now we’re stuck with a backloaded 80 million contract for a player who is defensively one of the worst in the league, has virtually now low-post game, but is one of the best cheerleaders in the game.

No, he was definitely playing better last year.
He was deserving of all star bid imo. This year he’s just been much worse. Injuries aside, there is something off.

Um..i'm not sure. Maybe
I think that was the season they acquired B. Diddy, right? If so, they only got into the playoffs at the end of the season when they went like 16-8 or something after they got him.

So, do all of you postive patties get it yet?
Don’t call us “haters.”
Understand that “hating” and being critical serve purposes when it is CLEAR the head coach (and for years the owner) isn’t very capable of seeing things thusly. (Could someone knock that oblivious, smiling, naive smile off Smart’s face please?)
There’s no accountability. Sorry, but it’s human nature to respond more to a tough ass coach.
Being heavily leaned towards positivity and being nice all the time gets you what you see. In general, sure, being positive in life is a good thing. But we’re talking about a whole culture of DENIAL in Warriorland.
If the new ownership really wants to be winners, they’ll drop this DECADES LONG bull of positivity over objectivity/haterism/realism.

Also,
I’m not just talking about the coach. I’m talking about all the people who call anyone with an idea a “hater.” We do this to hopefully create the idea in ownerships mind that SOME OF US aren’t just going to keep paying to watch this crap until they DO SOMETHING.

Not to put it on Smart, but he doesn't put the team in a good position to win
He plays Monta way too much, puts guys like Vlad and Amundson in when BW and Udoh should be get way more pt, and Biedrins should come off the bench. Once in a while he needs to get furious and tell them to play some f%&#*@g defense.

If he could just accept...
…that he’s a squeaky clean anti-hip guy from that background and STOP trying to be cool, that’d be a start.
Few things are as cringe-worthy as Fitz and his incessant, hyperventilating, voice rising attempts to sound with it.
I swear, even though he’s gone, Cohan’s reign still haunts us. Fitz and the fact they got the uni’s wrong once again (they’re OK, but how come, if the throwbacks are so universally loved, the team doesn’t just go back to them? Instead they try to fuse a sense of the classic with the new, and they fail on both accounts.)
But aside from the minor issue of the uni’s, that Fitz and his overly selfconscious style has been here all this era-O-futility….it’s fitting and telling.
Time for the new owners to bring a whole new culture to the team. New coach, new announcers (keep Jim, i’m cool with that.)

I used to listen to KNBR but simply cannot anymore. Rod was cool when he started, but now he’s kind of had too much of Fitz wear off on him. Now he too just shuts down good points by callers.

But you credited Fisher just because he plays the same position.
Fisher was RARELY guarding Rondo. When he did, Rondo was able to get into the lane.

No.
Kobe guarded Rondo for most of the game. It was a team strategy to let him shoot. Kobe basically gave him a ton of space and helped the rest of the team defensively when Rondo didn’t have the ball.

It's true
He’s not going to keep players out of the paint. He doesn’t weigh anything. But there’s nobody quicker on their feet. He should always win that battle to the spot, but the refs call him close.

Because as you know, Monta isn’t a PG.

So, do we wait until our Gs issues are widely exposed and/or Monta’s value is taken away due to injury risk style? Or do we trade him now, while his value will likely never be higher, and we can take care of all these issues the best?
by supersugarCrisp on Feb 10, 2011 8:20 PM PST up reply actions
He’s PGish. His passing and ball handling have been improving. If he keeps working in the off-season, he could be a good PG.
I’ve always been an advocate of trading Monta before Curry, because Curry has the BB IQ, handles and leadership to be a great PG in this league. He’s also more clutch in the 4th.
Monta is a tweener and more easily replaced.

Iggy’s also an underrated passer.
Very true. He’s averaging 6.0 assists to 1.8 turnovers this year. That’s a better ratio than Steve Nash. He ain’t perfect, but he’s pretty much the textbook backcourt mate for Curry (assuming we want to keep Curry).

Lin’s jumper is so ugly! at least he is explosive when he gets to the rim….um, wait. Let’s give him time to adjust to the NBA, he’s only 29yrs old.
Well
Looks like the Nuggets aren’t having such a hard time with the back to back.

I dont know about anyone else, but I think this has been a fun game to watch with the bench in. I’ve missed B. Wright and think he’s the most entertaining to watch and Udoh… oh, boy. He’s goin to be freakin’ GOOD. I want an Udoh jersey.

yeah, way better than last Suns game. At least we get to see Udoh, BW, Lin played.
And they are doing pretty well.

Vlad has been struggling and B. Wright really did contribute. When we have problems scoring, B.Wright can help. He needs more experience, and he’ll make a crazy good 6th man on offense.

I hate Keith
and I hate the other players for not getting Brandan the ball on the floor
Yeah, that frustrates me, too. B.Wright’s scoring efficiency is awesome. If we didn’t have Ellis, B.Wright could come in regularly and become the focal point of the offense. The dude doesn’t turn it over and can just ball on offense.

AR too
But seeing Ronny dance on the sidelines was gold. His shotblocking along with AR’s always got me out of my seat.

Um
1. AR in doghouse.
2. CJ overpaid for little used backup.
3. Turiaf injured (surprise.)
4. Morrow strictly a 3 pt specialist, yet NJ starts him (likely to validate the signing.)
5. Buike still out.
Hey, i love Azu and Turiaf, like Morrow and CJ. But once their price tags went up, see ya.
Those were the right decisions. You can’t just long for past players since we’re losing. You can’t just assume they’d make a difference, especially when they’re ALL not really doing much, if anything.
I mean, wow, come on, all you have to do is look this stuff up or follow hoops to know they’re not doing well in their new homes.

The trade is still a tossup for me
The financials make me hate the Lee trade. His sweet D is just a kicker.

Does not the fact...
..that he’s good everywhere but D, and a solid character that’s not going to ever quit on you….
…make it so once we add D elsewhere you could see Lee as a good piece?
That’s how i see both Lee and Curry. With a better fitting team, all of a sudden their efficiency and team play become contagious and valuable.
by supersugarCrisp on Feb 10, 2011 8:31 PM PST up reply actions
Forgot to mention post-offense,
I’m sorry, but a big that can’t provide D or a low-post scoring option irritates me. Lee definitely can grow on me, but the fact that we’ll be paying him 15 mil+ for his last 2 season scares me, especially with what he has brought to the table thus far.

Fair
But of course, the disclaimer that there aren’t many low post guys out there.
Also, since Lee’s arm healed, he’s been very efficient. Which leads one to believe that would have started sooner, much sooner, if not for that injury. Sometimes it’s not an excuse but a physical reality.
And Lee’s very good passing allows you to at least throw it into him, keep the D honest, then he can kick it out for good shots (like he does.)
Not perfect, but his salary isn’t THAT high and as we build around him i can see it working (as long as the new leadership has the right vision.)
I cannot wait for this trade deadline.
by supersugarCrisp on Feb 10, 2011 8:43 PM PST up reply actions
He’s had a great influence on the culture of the team, in my view. He’s good for Biedrins, especially, making him better. He’s better than just his stats, in my view. Plus, his rebounding really, really helps on defense. He sucks so badly in some respects on D but he does that.

9 boards combined in 55 minutes LOL

He is already our best post defender. He needs to work on stamina and on the glass though.

B.Wright had 2 blocks, at least. Helped make up for his lack of boards. Udoh actually had decent rebounding. Seven boards in 30 min.‘s is nothing to sneeze at, considering the other aspects of his game that help us. Plus, he really showed me something last night on offense. He really shows flashes of brilliance. The dude will get better!! I’m psyched about him.

I think B.Wright could have come in earlier to harass Frye. His length can really help against him, and Frye isn’t so huge that B.Wright can’t match up.
