SB Nation: Bright Side Of The Sun | Bay Area | Arizona
It's the 69th recap of the season so bust out your best Tootsee Roll like the 69 Boyz....
To the left, to the left, to the right, to the right
To the front, to the front, to the back, to the back
Now slide, slide baby slide, just slide baby slide
just slide baby slide, come on come on... and JUMP!
Nothing to Tootsee Roll about Unfortunately
There's really not much to say about this Warriors outing against the Suns.
The Warriors suck.
We could analyze the Warrior player performances individually, but what's the point? This roster is flawed, coached very poorly, and honestly boring to watch right now. The Suns roster is mediocre, but at least they're smart, savvy, and entertaining (something the Warriors can't even claim anymore).
Problem #1: Too Many Turnovers
As a team the Warriors combined for 21 turnovers. Look up and down the boxscore. There's a lot of blame to go around.
This pastry is killing us!
I don't know about you, but the Suns home white jerseys and the Warriors road blue jerseys look different enough. There's no excuse for that. Way too many interceptions.
Problem #2: Poor Shooting
The Warriors stunk up the joint. 42.2% shooting and under 100 points against the Suns isn't going to cut it. Remember when Warriors vs Suns was a Wild Wild West type shootout? Sure the Warriors still lost a ton of matches to the Suns post-WE BELIEVE, but at least the Dubs came out swinging, which brings me to another point...
Problem #3: Lack of a Top Tier NBA Coach
Hey the Warriors had one of these, but the bandwagon fans and histrionic local media ran him out of town because he wouldn't play the likes of Anthony Randolph, Brandan Wright, Patrick O'Bryant, Marco Belinelli, etc. Now the Warriors are left with a very solid assistant head coach who has oddly anointed Monta Ellis his savior, would rather play Acie Law than Stephen Curry way too often, and has a bizarre aversion to playing to the strengths (namely the pick and roll) of the best power forward (David Lee) this franchise has had since Chris Webber in 1994.
The Warriors suck.. and I'm honestly not sure when they won't anymore.
Dorell (that's 1 R and 2 L's) Wright stepped up big in the second half of this game. DWright had a pretty nice statline too with 30 points, 6 boards, 2 assists, 1 block, and 2 steals.

Did anyone see Butler vs. Pitt?
Reminded me of the Nugget game last year where Monta fouled JR Smith at halfcourt like an idiot hahaha.

That was a very interesting and kind of lame ending. Mental errors galore.
The Jimmer is averaging 30 something a game, which is crazy. I’m sure he wants to play in Utah to be mentored by Stockton. That kid will be freakishly good, if he is. Very interesting that the Cougars beat Gonzaga. Well done.
The playoffs are coming! I'm so excited to see who we're going to draft in the... uh.. playoffs.
BYU is a joke though.
I can’t really root for a school that suspends someone for having pre marital sex. that’s so unbelievably archaic…it’s like a midevil rule or something. Joke of a school.

Yes, I’m sure Brandon Davies’s bishop was peeking in his window and had bugs planted all around his house.

I heard his roommate snitched on him

That’s not what I heard. I heard he confessed to his bishop.

Yeah, I don’t know. I know that BYU students go to BYU, so that they can be in the BYU environment. If someone snitched, perhaps it was to protect the integrity of the Church and maintain that environment, which we Mormons really do value. Also, I don’t know that someone did “snitch” nor the circumstances surrounding the alleged “snitching,” assuming such a thing did occur.

To each his own. I think midevil rule would result in him being impaled or something. Not being able to play BYU basketball doesn’t seem like torture to me. He’ll live. He agreed to the terms of the honor code prior to playing ball there and willingly submitted himself to the disciplinary action. That’s an honorable man. I respect Brandan Davies for that.

medieval* not midevil ha ha…

Davies expelled the midevil out of him. Literally.

Maybe the Ws can grab him for the midevil exception…
There will be no extra point!

I question his intelligence for submitting himself to such intrusion into his personal life.

Seriously.
What sane person would ever go to BYU to spend the years 18-22 of their life in chasity, alcohol/caffeine free, and bible worshipping madness. That would suck.

Except for that small detail that Monta didn't come in physical contact with JR Smith
He should have given him more space, but technically, Monta played almost perfect defense.
