Golden State Warriors (3-8) vs Detroit Pistons (3-9)
TV: CSN Bay Area / Radio: KTCT 1050
Tip-Off: 3 pm PST
Blog Buddy: Detroit Bad Boys
There's a lot more that could be said about just how ugly the Warriors' 112-100 loss to the Charlotte Bobcats was last night.
Put simply, they looked like a team struggling to find answers to solve the fifth worst offense in the NBA. And that's putting it relatively nicely. Coach Mark Jackson wasn't so kind about his team's performance, according to Marcus Thompson II: "We let them do whatever they wanted to do."
And the game was no more watchable than it was encouraging.
But the reality of this year's compressed NBA schedule is that teams have to just put games like that behind them and move on. That's what we might hope to see from the Warriors this afternoon as they take on the Detroit Pistons today, less than 24 hours after last night's debacle.
This is a Pistons team that just broke a six-game losing streak on Friday night by beating the Bobcats team that beat down the Warriors. So yes, they just beat the team that beat the Warriors. But no, they're still not that good.
Key statistic: Offensive rebounding
In terms of offensive efficiency, there are only three teams in the NBA worse than the Bobcats. The Pistons are tied with them. Yet the Pistons are an above average offensive rebounding and have beaten their opponents on the offensive boards pretty badly in all three of their wins, including wins against the two below average offensive rebounding teams that just beat the Warriors (Bobcats and Magic). That could be one significant difference between the Bobcats and Pistons for the Warriors today.
The main culprit is Greg Monroe who is averaging nearly 4 offensive rebounds per game and is .8 total rebounds away from averaging a double-double. Jonas Jerebko led the team with 4 against the Bobcats and another of their top rebounders - Jason Maxiell - didn't even play due to coach's decision.
The Warriors are thin in the post right now and missing the defensive rebounding presence of Kwame Brown, but they need to find a way to battle inside.
Predictions
- The Warriors are 2-2 (wins vs Chicago & Miami; losses to Charlotte & San Antonio) when they turn the ball over less often (i.e. have a lower turnover rate) than opponents. The Pistons have the highest turnover rate in the league as of right now (16.3%) at the league's slowest pace (87.2 possessions per 48 minutes). This will be the fifth game that they have a lower turnover rate than opponents. That is, if the Warriors are truly the defensive-minded team that they claim to be and were decidedly not last night
- Monta Ellis will make more than six shots tonight. Really, he has to if the Warriors expect to win games given the current state of affairs. But that aside, he got a number of good shots last night against the Bobcats' defense that just didn't go down. The Pistons are no better a defensive team than the Bobcats.
- The Pistons will give the Warriors trouble on the offensive boards today and the Warriors will find themselves in foul trouble once again.
- Ekpe Udoh will play more than the 11 minutes he played last night - possibly due to foul trouble - to beat this team and he will have to rebound well for the Warriors to win this one.
- There's not much more to say about Greg Monroe's performance so far this season than what Zach Lowe of SI.com has already said. At some point in today's game, there's a good chance he'll make us wonder what could've been had we drafted him.
Ultimately, what I want to see is the Warriors showing up and just turning in a better performance than they did last night. That should happen because they can't play much worse than they did through three quarters last night. But with the quick turnaround and the Pistons capable of controlling the boards against the Warriors, this could be a 2-3 possession loss in Michigan.

first!
if more serious
-they should not just simply win this game
they must destroy Pistons in any component of game -no excuses
in other way there is no difference who is W’s coach -MFJ Nellie Smart or MickeyMouse
Even if you do succeed most people wouldn't notice anyway.
-Johnny Bravo is my role model -i m pretty
I don't see a happy ending for this road trip
The Warriors have four games in five nights, and just lost the first one to a bad team.
If you're watching a blowout, you can pass the time by counting the double teapots.

I have a prediction
We will have 50+ mentions to Greg Monroe in the comments. Most of them will be complaints about how we could have drafted him.

Would u be so surprised? Monroe is going HAM this year.
"I thought it was going in," Warriors center Chris Hunter said. "It looked like the invisible man tipped it away at the last second."
"He's chicken curry right now. He'll become beef curry a little later on."

Monta (1st), Lee (6th) in minutes/g in NBA; how tired are they? Hope Curry plays; though, he is not ready.
Leage leaders: Monta dropped to 6th in PPG (23.9), and 9th in A/G (7.7); LEE moved up to 6th in RPG (11.0), and 16th in PPG (18.6). A silver lining in a dismal situation….
not really considering how many minutes they play
Do a per 36 comparison (among players who play at least 20 minutes a game average) and monta and lee drop badly in both of those categories. People need to understand that per game means nothing if you’re playing 40 minutes a game. So if I can score 10 points in 18 minutes a game versus another guy who scores 10 points in 36 minutes a game, then obviously hes much better than me…
Yeah, b-ball 101...but not too many players can give you those 40 minutes when you need them to do so night in, night out!
and Monta is doing that, again, for the second year! We cannot win without him doing that, even at a lower efficiency than he is capable of if he had some decent pieces underneath and around him. Everyone knows that about this team, and defenses are keying on him! So, I’ll take Monta, any day!
Its a little more complicated than that
You’re right from a pure stats perspective, but minutes matter too. From a team perspective, you have to compare what’s happening when the statistically better per-whatever player is off the floor vs a starter that stays on. If a player can deliver for 40+ minutes without apparent fatigue or fall-off, its a big plus, especially with teams with weak benches, like the W’s.
I'm pretty sure we always lose to the Pistons at Detroit...
The last time I remember us winning was when Baron came back from Knee surgery and we started our We Believe run.
Let’s win the next 3 road games! GO WARRIORS
GSW '12 CHAMPS!
It isnt his fault
Ekpe is a decent player, but Monroe is better

Maybe but Biedrins can’t be expected to give starting center minutes, so another option probably needs to be thought up.
by sexymotherfakir on Jan 15, 2012 3:32 PM PST up reply actions
He’s an offensive liability because of his shying away from contact and he’s a defensive liability because he picks up fouls too quickly.
by sexymotherfakir on Jan 15, 2012 3:35 PM PST up reply actions
other than last night his fouls haven’t been much of an issue this year. his offense isn’t all that important either
He also really hasn’t been asked to be the man this season either. I suppose I’ll be higher on him when Curry is back to get him some easy touches.
by sexymotherfakir on Jan 15, 2012 3:41 PM PST up reply actions
why would you ever ask biedrins to be the man?
thats stupid
"Anthony Davis is no different than Al Farouq Aminu." - J--Ridah
his job is to play good defense and rebound the ball
and he’s been doing that very well this season
"Anthony Davis is no different than Al Farouq Aminu." - J--Ridah
By the man I mean, “the main center.” Kwame and Udoh seemed to be getting the majority of the minutes down the line in most games. And yes, when he’s on the floor he plays well but he’s also not playing large minutes either.

you cant just argue each player that we drafted against the best player from that draft that was still available.
"Anthony Davis is no different than Al Farouq Aminu." - J--Ridah
the only time you can really be upset is when you go against the consensus pick
and then the consensus ends out being correct.
"Anthony Davis is no different than Al Farouq Aminu." - J--Ridah
Oh obviously
that’s not what I’m suggesting
But Mike Dunleavy > Amare Stoudemire? In what world?

he spelt stoudemire wrong
and for some reason i was thinking damon
"Anthony Davis is no different than Al Farouq Aminu." - J--Ridah
salim and amare arent really arguable
damon could be argued either way
"Anthony Davis is no different than Al Farouq Aminu." - J--Ridah
of course in all the confusion
i was thinking damon was drafted the same year, and that dunleavy is still playing while damon isn’t lol
"Anthony Davis is no different than Al Farouq Aminu." - J--Ridah
that's why i was more confused
damon was drafted in 95 lol
yeaaa
the past 18 years (minus 1) of warriors suckage have all kind of melded into what i remember as the same time period
"Anthony Davis is no different than Al Farouq Aminu." - J--Ridah
my bad
i didn’t know it was spelled with an “e”. but who did you think i meant? damon stoudamire?
and as far as hindsight, while it might be somewhat, dunleavy was yet another redundant pick that didn’t fill any sort of need. amare would have at least been some size that the warriors always need
the general idea i have when evaluating draft picks
is that if you go against the consensus pick, you better be right most of the time. can’t blame someone for going with the consensus because most other talent evaluators saw the pick the same way. if you go against the consensus, only for the consensus to be right, then it was a terrible pick.
"Anthony Davis is no different than Al Farouq Aminu." - J--Ridah
and it has yet to be played out, but i believe we made 2 bad first round picks in the last 2 drafts
"Anthony Davis is no different than Al Farouq Aminu." - J--Ridah

They’re putting in effort today.
But this is just bad basketball – their offense is completely stagnant. No ball movement whatsoever. They just can’t win like this.
I agree with Evan – they need to be shooting threes, but the way to get open threes is to get the ball moving and forcing the D to rotate so shooters can set their feet and get open shots.

Andris Biedrins
A) Worst contract in NBA history?
B) Biggest waste of amnesty in NBA history by not cutting him?
C) Largest waste of talent in NBA history?
The guy will never shoot over 40% from the FT line again, he bites on every single fake or pump fake 100% of the time, can’t finish at the rim, can only score on dunks, and his help defense is pathetic.
His teammates and closer friends on the team (D Lee) are even getting tired of his act and it is starting to show in their body language on the court.
I never thought I would say this in my lifetime but Kwame Brown may have been the most important person on this team.
I dont get it
when we still have Kwame, Monta gonna drive and dish to Kwame. But Monta never do a drive and dish with Beans

Have you considered the times he fails to put the shot up and passes it back out? Because I think, given the times he actually goes to score, he is a better finisher than Kwame. Kwame however, is more likely to get the shot up when he has it, and usually, Biedrins’ missed opportunities inside end up with us taking a bad shot because the shot clock has dwindled down.
http://nbawarriors.wordpress.com/
Monta's fired it inside to him a number of times this season
I feel he puts too much trust in him, considering how many Beans has bobbled
I wouldn’t trust him to finish either.
http://nbawarriors.wordpress.com/
Not shooting over 40% from the FT line isn't the problem...
It’s the fact that he shies away from going to the FT line. He could at the very least get the other team in foul trouble.
by sexymotherfakir on Jan 15, 2012 4:20 PM PST up reply actions 1 recs
Yes it is a problem....
If he were to go to the line 10 times a game that would be 5 wasted possessions.
At most maybe 1 or 2 made free throws out of 10. So we swap 5 possessions for 2 points at most?
It’s not worth it.

But we get their center in foul trouble
we struggle to score inside against good defensive centers. More than most teams
http://nbawarriors.wordpress.com/
That's assuming..
That he doesn’t score and turn any of the foul attempts into attempted three point plays. And it would help us get in the bonus which would allow our quality free throw shooters get to the line more, something we have a problem with.

Not stating the obvious but.....
The Warriors really messed up by selecting Udoh over Greg Monroe. I just dont understand it. If we had Monroe right now we would not be discussing Biedrins at all as he would be long gone from our team. Monroe would have been our starting center for years. Makes no sense to me, honestly its beyond frustrating.
dorell always seems to be thinking “what’s the softest way i could attack the basket possible right now?”
Dorell good pump fake
drove to the lane…
and missed 3 layups :/
lucky for Udoh to be there

This is an example of where I'd say the Warriors are a "better defensive team" this year despite a low DRtg
They’re able to string together stops to help fuel runs.
We’ve rarely seen that in the last decade or two. The effort and energy is there if not the consistency. That’s an improvement.

LOL get that hyperbole outta here man. Lee has finally started showing up the last 4 games.
I’ll give him the benefit that he was sick the first few though, but there has been a major difference with his offense, he’s not going up as soft anymore. Just cause we don’t get on our knees and praise him like he’s JOBU does not mean he’s getting hated on. We’re 4-9 we should be critiquing this team.

-Keith Smart
See thats why I dislike most Warrior fans that post on message boards. Dissing a dub comes as natural as jacking off to them, however giving any Warrior besides Steph props for his play means your on your knees.
Well then you're just more of a homer than I. I've seen the years of suck this team has held onto.
What makes this year different than the last 16/18? Monta turning into DWade of 05’? Curry getting bionic ankles? DLee becoming Karl Malone?
If you read what I say, than I think you’d find it’s quite fair. I give him props for good play, get on him when he sucks.
I’ll give you this: Monta and Lee aren’t the reason why we suck right now, but they could be the reason keeping us from getting better.
"I thought it was going in," Warriors center Chris Hunter said. "It looked like the invisible man tipped it away at the last second."
"He's chicken curry right now. He'll become beef curry a little later on."
-Keith Smart
How is it fair when the vast majority of the board wanted him amnestied? The best big we had in 2 decades and ppl want him amnestied. It has nothing to do with being a homer. On GSOM the common thing to do is compile on a dubs flaws instead of magnify his pro’s. Being negative about players is the norm here. Anybody giving props is considered a homer or fanboy. If u wanna fit in here just diss everybody besides the golden child.
I don't think the Warriors deserve the benefit of the doubt with their personnel decisions until we see some success.
The injuries hurt yes, but we’re not even a deep team. Had they built up some depth maybe we wouldn’t have to play Monta and Lee 40+ a night. No one sans a handful of HOF caliber guys can bring it every night with high efficiency.
Our problem is we’re not a talented team in a tough Western division and we don’t have enough depth to survive the plethora of injuries. Add to the fact we have a rookie head coach who thinks hack-a-everybody is a successful strategy even while ahead and well, you don’t get much to be happy with.
Our defense is certainly somewhat better, however we can’t stop fouling to save our lives so maybe that skews some of the numbers. We’ve gotten slightly better as a rebounding team at least, but still not enough improvement for a team that by and large we know what they’re capable of.

Monroe looks like he's forced to play basketball and he's clumsy on D. With that said his market value is much bigger then Udoh is.
So still a bad choice by Riley.
The way I view the Udoh/Monroe debate is like this. Monroe woulda been the smarter pick to make and at this point he is easily more valuable in a trade than Udoh is. However, you would be looking for a defender like Udoh as soon as you see what you have in Monroe. Defense has to count for something. We cant knock DLee for being all offense and knock Udoh for being all defense.
Nice to see a win
A little worried about the pick though… but I’ve come to accept that the Warriors will lose it in a very Warriorlike fashion

agree, but, it was a nice bounce-back win. The big surprise is we dominated INSIDE!
Wright, with as many team-leading offensive rebounds as UDOH (3 each), and steals (3 each), and a team-leading 11 rebounds! Lee, with his highly-efficient scoring and 2 blocks (!). Our big men got 43 rebounds (10 OR) to their 32, and our big men outscored them in the paint 48 points to 32! BIG SURPRISE for me inside!
The good teams in the East aren't the ones the Warriors seem to have problems with
Hung with the Magic, crushed the Bulls and Knicks (though I don’t think NYK sniff the playoffs this year) and rallied to beat the Heat. It’s overlooking the bad East teams and the entire Western Conference that’s been a problem this year for the Dubs (in fact, I don’t think they’ve beat a single team from the West yet…).
Wow was he seriously 3-13 from the field?

I see where you're coming from too.
My opinion is that i’ve seen enough of this team to think that they’ll never make it over the hump. We already can see we aren’t players in FA and we don’t have assets to trade. With Curry’s contract extension coming up we definitely won’t have the ability to get another marquee player.
Cap space I don’t value as much, but the assets you can get through having cap space is what I’m interested in.

-Keith Smart
agree that we maybe could have amnestied biedrins. but who would our center be then today? kwame with 1 arm?
There aren’t many big guys available and we already tried to overpay for 2 that were.
As far as cap we have enough to sign a max next year. whats the problem? Even if we had even more space there is little evidence that any big name center would sign here.
My plan would be to not focus on FA.
Get assets through trades by getting creative and getting involved in 3 team deals where we help them facilitate a deal. I dunno. Just break the mold of the Warrior MO of watching from the sidelines.

-Keith Smart
perhaps you are right but let's look at the past 2 years.
in 09 we picked the 2nd best player in the draft. the only way we could have gotten a better player that year is if we got the 1st pick for griffin, and even if we tanked harder than we did, the 1st pick would not have been anywhere near guaranteed.
in 10 who would you tank to get? wall? turner? cousins? the front office recognized that it was a weak draft and we got a player that could play a role defensively. it seems like he is getting there. and being ‘all in’ would not have solved our current problems. look at wall’s team today. who else in the draft is an allstar?
im not arguing that tanking doesnt work. it certainly does but you need a bit of luck as well to get the 1st pick. and luck that the pick does turn out to be as an all-star.
from our draft position in 09, 10, it looks like we’ve drafted a whole lot better than other teams.
Wall's team suffers from immaturity, and lack of leadership.
Plus they have two guys who have precious little BBIQ in McGee and Blatche. Although Blatche is worse, at least McGee has elite length to challenge shots. He does disappear for periods though.
Washington is young, but outside of Wall and McGee their players aren’t very good.
In 2010 my plan would’ve been to get Cousins. After that my pick was Monroe then Paul George. Who says that class was weak?
Had we made the right pick in 2010, we’d have a few young intriguing guys like Curry, Monroe or George, and probably still land the #11 next year for Klay.
That’s a lot better than Curry, Udoh, Klay.

And i'm not saying Wall is "good" yet. Talented yes, but he hasn't delivered on his jump shot.
And his defense isn’t at Rondo’s level to have that kind of impact yet.

I hope so, although offensively so far he's been...err..horribad.

or, Reggie/Vlad. Forgot, we gave them up. Still, winning the inside battle was THE surprise of this game!
Rebounds:43-32 POINTS IN THE PAINT: 48-3something!
I know
Monroe is great on offense, but bad on defense. Udoh was still the wrong pick though.
If you're watching a blowout, you can pass the time by counting the double teapots.

Well, time will tell. Udoh had to overcome the Smart experiment, as did all of our first full year men. Stymied their growth!
I am seeing some good things under Jackson. He is really it for this season!
Has anyone ever watched a game on Comcast OnDemand this season?
I don’t see today’s Warriors game on there
all right, thanks
guess i’ll have to fill the post game links blind – without watching the game

Naw, I have no problems doing it
I just wish I knew how the game went so I don’t come up with a dumb title or poll question.

A team win! Everybody was rebounding and looking for each other!
Forgot to give kudos to B. Rush for his efficient contribution. TOs still a problem, but not as bad. Great bounce-back win. Whatever Major J told them, they responded, though severely depleted and on the road!
I was also watching the Udoh vs. Monroe matchup.
When Udoh was on defense and Monroe was on offense in one on one situations, Udoh stopped him twice while Monroe scored once.
In one on one situations in which Udoh was on offense and Monroe was on defense, Udoh scored once and Monroe stopped him once.
Just food for thought.
Kwame was the perfect fit. It’s too bad about his shoulder.
