TV: CSN Bay Area | Radio: KNBR 680
The last four games have been tough on the Golden State Warriors and last night's loss to the Los Angeles Lakers was tough to watch due to the turnovers in the second quarter followed by poor rebounding in the third quarter.
As I wrote earlier while trying to sort through my thoughts about this young season, it's sort of hard to know what to make of this team right now - they've got a new coach, no real preseason preparation, and are now battling injuries. That's not an excuse for things like, oh...say... squandering fast break layup attempts, but it makes it hard to evaluate a team seven games in.
And yet they have to move forward with another game tonight that will hopefully make us forget the last few games.
Some predictions:
-
Monta Ellis will continue looking impressive as a distributor and Kwame Brown will continue catching the ball. I think this is a key for this team that the Warriors find some way to high percentage scoring opportunities. Ellis flying at you and capable of making good decisions is a good start. There's been a motion to call this phenomenon of Ellis dribbling and passing to Kwame Brown who catches the ball and puts it through the cylinder "M2K". It is up to you to experiment with this in the game thread.
- Klay Thompson will continue shooting well. Thompson is 5-for-8 from the 16-23 foot range over the last two games. The Jazz are allowing the second highest shooting percentage in the league (42.1%) from the 16-23 foot range, according to Hoopdata (don't pay any attention to which team is in third - we're talking about the Jazz here). Match made in rookie heaven.
-
Nate Robinson will please the home crowd. And then make them want to throw things. Possibly on consecutive possessions. He might also find it a bit more difficult to score with someone other than Steve Blake in front of him.
- Enes Kanter unveils his unseen skills that have been reserved for Jazz players in practice to this point.
- The Warriors will get beat on the offensive boards for the fourth consecutive game tonight. The Warriors are 24th in offensive rebounding differential and the Jazz are a team whose strength is apparently post play and getting to the free throw line. Not a good combination.
- The third quarter will be the turning point. It wouldn't be surprising at all if the Warriors go into halftime with a lead. It would also not be surprising if the Warriors squandered that lead in the third quarter due to Jazz rebounding.
- So it's hard to predict the outcome, but playing shorthanded against a team that can put up points in the post is not encouraging. I'm hoping for a win but, if not, a competitive game will do. My gut says Jazz by 6.
Jazz fans still holding a grudge against Mark Jackson
In case you had forgotten about Mark Jackson's forgettable stint in Utah, the folks at SLC Dunk haven't and they linked to a 2003 SI article by Ian Thomsen about tension in the locker room between Jackson and John Stockton:
Three members of the Jazz organization now understand why Jackson has been traded seven times in his 16-year career: They say that over a period of weeks, he succeeded in turning several teammates against Stockton by repeatedly remarking that those players would be better off if Jackson were the Jazz's floor leader. Other players rallied around Stockton, who, because of his quiet nature, was vulnerable to the locker room politicking...Jackson says his actions were in no way aimed at Stockton. "I'm a born leader, and if people take that as manipulation, then maybe they haven't been around leaders," he says. "I make no apologies for embracing people and talking to people and making them feel like they're important. Maybe in the past those stray dogs have been left on the side, but that's not the way I treat people."
That's not a glowing endorsement of a future head coach, but we'll just keep that tucked away in the SI vault from now on.

accurate breakdown
i dont see a way to be able to overcome the Jazz big’s unless the breakdown happens from their side
It's lonely being the only Warriors fan at UMass :(
I was surprised to see Bay Area news outlets praising Kwame's "defense" on Bynum
Bynum and Gasol pounded us on the boards. Kwame did nothing there – yes, he scored more than Bynum, but that’s all he did.
If you're watching a blowout, you can pass the time by counting the double teapots.
Samurai Champloo > Macross
I only saw a little of the game, but it does look like Bynum was held in check. He has been on a tear recently and it seems the Warriors slowed him down a little bit. 9 pts on 3-9 shooting is not very good. His 16 boards were good, but pretty much in line with what he has been pulling down recently. Overall, I’d say Kwame did a pretty good job on him.
Kobe Happened. He just found batteries to his time machine.

I really don't know why Mark Jackson wanted to undermine Stockton
The guy is a Hall of Fame point guard. Mark Jackson was 38 years old when he joined the Jazz – I doubt he was going to do much better

this is not true
Kwame’s Fg% is .484 this season -i guess it’s pretty not exactly ‘high percentage’
he’s career high on rebounds but his TS is around his rookie sophomore seasons
so D is where he belongs 4 offense here is other C who is better rebounder also
Even if you do succeed most people wouldn't notice anyway.
-Johnny Bravo is my role model -i m pretty
I consider layups high percentage scoring opportunity for a basketball team
But yes, point taken about Kwame. He did play better than he has over the course of his career last night though.
Twitter: @NateP_SBN.
That never works for the Warriors. They’ll play like S all season and then go on a winning streak at the end to lose the pick to Utah. Or they’ll finish with the sixth best record and have 2 teams jump ahead of them in the lottery.
I'd wager on us being really bad
Then going on a winning streak at the end. We love doing that.

Sullinger has to be Top-5.
Everyone else hasn’t gotten it going yet.
Davis
Drummond
Lamb
Barned
Sullinger
"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
Question for him is
how does he project in the NBA? His upside isn’t nearly as high, and he’s not very athletic.
I’m a Buckeye fan, but I don’t think he’ll be anywhere near as good in the NBA as he is in college.
http://nbawarriors.wordpress.com/
I see a big fat ass though. I say that as a good thing.
He’s got girth like some good big men do. He’s not a slug either. I could see him fall anywhere between Brandon Bass with post moves or Paul Millsap. Sullinger has legit post moves and some counter moves. Plus he has produced (although I haven’t checked him out recently).
I’d say he’s a solid 4 prospect. I don’t think he’ll completely wash out like Ike Diogu who also kinda looks similar. It’s still early I guess, but Sullinger seems like a high floor guy to me. Potential doesn’t come close to the first three guys on my list though. Barnes seems like a very young, and athletic role player to me.
"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
LOL his butt has a Twitter
I think his post moves work because they’re aren’t usually 7 footers out there on the floor. He shoots his hook shots very low and he doesn’t get off the floor quickly because of his weight. I could see him maybe where Elton Brand was, but I think that’s best option. I could also see him as a slightly better Big Baby. I think he needs to lose some of the weight and get stronger, more athletic. He has good touch, but when the PFs and Cs are all bigger than you at the next level, he’s going to need to go around or over them to use that touch, which I don’t think he’s capable of now.
http://nbawarriors.wordpress.com/
I'd have to look more into him then.
Can he finish with both hands? I thought his hands were pretty good and has pretty good footwork. I’m just most impressed with his array of post moves. If he has a knack for scoring it’ll show in the NBA. Just guessing whether if it WILL show is up for debate.
"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
Those are definitely his strengths.
I don’t think he won’t make it or be an absolute bust. He’ll be able to fill a role for sure. Just not sure if he’ll ever be good enough to be the top post-up option for a championship team/contender.
http://nbawarriors.wordpress.com/
givin that he has had only one good game so far and several "crappy" ones, there isnt much to suggest it

Trade Monta for another 1st round pick, shutdown Curry for a month and get a future superstar in the upcoming draft.
Thats what the Spurs did with The Admiral and they won numerous titles.

I don’t get it. I honestly don’t see this “looking impressive as a distributor” thing. I see Monta dominating the ball, and while he’s been doing a better job so far this season of dishing when he doesn’t have a shot, it’s still abundantly clear he’s thinking shoot-first. Everything gets stagnant, Lee is turned into a jump-shooter, and Monta puts up impressive per-game numbers if you don’t look too closely at the details.
It’s a slightly better version of the SJax offense, and not a successful winning strategy.
Monta isn’t really shoot first. He drives to lure defenders then dishes. Slightly better than Sjax? True and good comparison. Lee isn’t as aggressive as when he was a Knick, maybe because he got what he wanted; a big contract and he doesn’t need to step his game up as much.

Monta is totally shoot-first.
If he drove to lure defenses then dished, you wouldn’t consistently see him having by far the most number of shots on the team in games where he was the de facto initiator.
who do you want taking the most shots with curry out?
by Xtremelink on Jan 7, 2012 6:00 PM PST via mobile up reply actions
I want a functioning team offense with ball and player movement.
When Monta is the initiator, I want him initiating the offense first and looking for a shot second.
The team should be, for example, working much harder to get Lee good looks. They should be running pick-and-rolls with Biedrins. These things don’t happen enough when Curry is running the show, but they stop happening almost completely when Monta is.
i agree
You want the team to run a different offense fine, but with the current style, I would rather have Monta taking the most shots. Ultimately someone has to take the most shots and get blamed when they lose and get praise when they win.
by Xtremelink on Jan 7, 2012 8:17 PM PST via mobile up reply actions
he is only shoot first when people are stagnant, otherwise he's been looking to pass most of the time
he dominates the ball for 2 reasons, curry is out and hes the best option
Lee has not been going up strong at all , when he does dive hard he gets the ball and even when he doesnt we still try and feed him and it just doesnt work
RIP Al Davis
I disagree
The game where Curry got hurt was a great example. Lee was active and moving and getting a lot of shots.
Then Curry went down, and all of a sudden so did Lee’s shots. It’s not the first time I’ve seen that pattern, either – the more Monta is running the offense, the less active Lee is, the fewer shots he gets.
lee looking tired in the 3rd
every game lee seems to start out good, and then fizzle. mistakes, turnovers and no hustle in the 3rd and 4th quarters. maybe his conditioning isnt up to par.
would like to see udoh/kwame more and bring in tyler to spell kwame.
Monta passes the ball well when Curry is on the floor, but then the ball movement pretty much dies when Curry goes out. I guess Monta feels like he has to do all the scoring, but it’s still not good for the team.

Monta finds Lee
then watches him fail to dunk or finish at the basket. He’s not as good as getting it to Lee in the mid-range, Curry’s better at that, but Lee, in that San Antonio game was PASSING UP those jump shots. He tried to drive a couple times, and passed it back out even more. Like 200k said, he jets slow, tired, even lazy in the 2nd half. I think that was a bigger part of it than Steph going out with an injury.
http://nbawarriors.wordpress.com/
Lee is turned into a jump-shooter
He’s not very good at much else :/
I expect bigs to be able to finish easy baskets, and he can’t.
Obviously, Monta is score-first. He’s a shooting guard. Obviously playing more and more like a point, but his role on this team is to score. But there’s no one else to run the offense through, so he’s definitely on-ball more than any of us want. Given the circumstances, I think he’s been doing a good job of pretty much everything.
http://nbawarriors.wordpress.com/
I’m a little disappointed in Lee’s game so far, I was looking for a passing extraordinaire!! working the give and go with Monta and Curry, a little mixture of the Bird man even, well I guess if he don’t pan out we can just amnesty him?
Oh wait a sec, that option wasn’t important said Riley! yeah, in a pigs eye m8ty..

Look at his distribution of shots his last two years in New York, and compare then to his distribution of shots here.
I don’t have the exact number in front of me, but Lee started taking a much greater percentage of his shots from outside of 8 feet when he came to the Warriors.
It is, in my opinion, the primary reason why his efficiency went down dramatically when he came here. He’s a good mid-range shooter for a big man but he’s an excellent pick-and-roll scorer … and we just don’t use him that way.
The very reason he became overvalued
was because he became able to hit that midrange shot, not for his pick and roll game. If you look at his final year with the Knicks, he became pretty accurate from outside and added a dimension to the offense. He took about the same amount of long jumpers here as he did in his last season with the Knicks. The problem is not that he became a shooter – it is that he was never as good in pick and roll as people thought. He played as a center in New York and often went against slower centers, allowing him to score more efficiently. The power forward spot in the Western Conference is stacked – it’s much harder for him to go inside than it was in the East.

Samurai Champloo > Macross
+1
before he became a good shooter he was just a garbage man, it was when he hit jumpers is when he started breaking out and centers cant guard him in the east. Do you think an old Shaq really could stay with his Pnr or Pnp for example / or perkins? In the West players can stay with him
RIP Al Davis
Interesting. Lee does get roof'd a lot in games where he goes up against bigger players (almost nightly).
I was just wondering this the other day. I wondered if the fact that Lee went up against other centers gave him a big advantage offensively. Then when he goes up against smaller but quicker PF’s if his game suffers.
If the second part is true and we just got a PnP (Pick and Pop) big man without any defense and underwhelming rebounding numbers then we’re probably gonna suck for awhile if we don’t try and move him.

Not that I want to trade Monta, but this is the year to do it if they plan on eventually trading him.
We would lose more games (yes I know this sounds bad, but we need the young talent) and could very well keep our pick, and get some good young talent in a deal that included him.

This game affirms that Monta still plays best off the ball
instead of on the ball. I love the dishes by Monta when he drives as much as anyone but if there’s anything I’ve noticed it’s that his dishes are very last minute when he is in the air which is fundamentally a bad idea because it leads to more turnovers. People are just noticing that his passes are reaching his target a little better but he still isn’t a point guard. Curry’s passes are more crisp and on target when he drives and dishes and he can get by people like that because people respect his shot, whereas no one respects monta’s shot as much (and shouldn’t because it still is an awful shot).
his pick and roll passes arent in the air
its when he drives baseline and kicks back out and curry cant create for others like monta on pick and rolls. He throws lobs and 3’s out better though
RIP Al Davis
Curry's passes are sketchy as hell.

Nate shows up to use the pump fake
and then he shows how to kick to the open 3
It works when Nate does it (and when Curry does it)
because people respect Nate’s shot… Everyone knows monta wants to drive and not really shot the jump shot but hes not big enough to really get to the rim at will… Hence why Curry is better for this team and why Monta is limited. How come Monta hasn’t bulked up very much all his time here?
i KNEW Klay would miss that
right idea to do triple threat, at least

Monta, as well as he played at times,
has at least 3 plays on offense that are just WTH.
Need a little more consistency. Other than the missed dunk, though, he and the team were much better in the 2nd quarter.
http://nbawarriors.wordpress.com/
If he makes that dunk
we might finish with a 4 point lead, and him on fire going into the half. Now, we’re looking at a 1 point lead with him missing his final two attempts. Hopefully that won’t affect his mindset going into the 2nd half.

Everyone loves Monta’s drive and dishes but it’s always last minute dishes and no one really expects him to pass when he’s high in the air like that.

will Dwight even want to join a bottom feeding team?
by Monta THE Boss on Jan 7, 2012 10:02 PM PST up reply actions
well if we can get the number whatever pick...it could be an incentive to play for us.
if we can somehow lure deron to come here…i think it may be a more favorable destination than nets.
so assuming we tanked to get pick. we traded steph for dwight. dwight is now a FA and so is Deron, we try and sign both. Mostly unlikely scenario though.
sucks because i want dwight more, but its looking more as if we cant. but guess what, NJ sucks too lol so iono maybe deron wants to leave and Warriors may be a good destination if Dwight is already here.

if we trade for DH12 we wont be bad enough for a pick
wed have to win for him to stay and ave money to bring ppl in

well lets hope.
because our bigs are seriously being punished by more bigger dudes. dlee being molested is fricking messing with the frontcourt. kwame is lets face it, a good backup.

I agree
People who say tanking is stupid don’t understand that tanking is the only way for teams like the Warriors to acquire better players. We don’t have the trade pieces and we aren’t going to get a difference maker through free agency.

Exactly
A 2-6 hole is tough to get out of in a normal season, but especially in a shortened season. This is the best year to suck.

I hate to want our team to tank, but it's the only way they'll get better
Tanking and trading Monta for a 1st rounder (lottery pick) are our best shots.

thats an instant franchise player , we’d just have to keep him. i dont think were bad enough when we have monta and curry to get a top pick or good enough to compete so you need to try and clear cap and trade for DH12 and sign someone
RIP Al Davis
yup this i agree.
our best shot to get good is with dwight. yes tanking will help, but if we are talking about the gain, i would say dwight.

have to convince dwight that it'll be easier to make the finals in the western conference
most of the top teams in the west are falling off, while the east has to deal with miami and chicago.
Which is why he goes to the Lakers.

with a starting lineup of monta/Rush/hedo/dlee/howard…i think we can give okc a challenge.
all think hedo sucks super bad. but i think he can still give us something even though he is paid like dlee (super much).

Question.
Do we even have a draft pick for 2012 to tank for? Could of swore I read it was traded to Utah
if we finish somewhere near the bottom..i heard its 7th seed protected or something.

by doubleteapot on Jan 7, 2012 10:06 PM PST up reply actions
here's the kicker then
after we had traded the pick for marcus williams, it would have been lottery protected last year, top 11 protected this year, and top 10 next year. then larry riley decided to offer new jersey a second round pick and lower the protection on the pick so that we could trade our 2010 first rounder (which we ended out not even trading). so for absolutely nothing, we lost a 2nd round AND the protection has been lowered to top 7 this year, top 7 next year, and top 6 the year after that
I just realized we lost a draft pick for Marcus Williams.
Haha. New here?
Yeah, our first-rounder is top 7 protected this year, top 7 next year, and top 6 the year after that. If it’s not conveyed by then (which is pretty unlikely), it becomes two second rounders.
Most likely, we finish somewhere in the #8-12 range this year and cough up the pick.
There will be no extra point!

I don't understand why you would shoot the ball with one second left when you are down....
If they had shot earlier, they would have had a chance for a tip or rebound or what not…
So you think this is a playoff team?

doesnt mean that
but were likely not bad enough to get a significant pick for a star when curry and monta play together and it wont attract anyone to this team

We have played pretty stiffcompetition thus far.
Our first ten games were pretty tough, miltipliedby fact curry is out. Wait until we are 20 games in before being pro tanking.
Wow.
Stiff competition*. And multiplied *
well i wont advocate a tank initiative...but guess what, we suck so much we wont make the playoffs unless we get a game changer.

klay needs to ride the pine.
so does lee in the 2nd half
yeah don't hold the ball till 2 secs left
especially with us playing at home, at worst, if they had gotten the rebound off a miss, we could’ve fouled them and hoped for them to miss a FT and make it a 3 pt game…
i dont even listen to him
whatever he says goes out the other ear. Sounds like a whole lot of BS he is saying. Much like Mike Singletary.

Mark Jackson just said that Monta’s last shot was a “good look”. SERIOUSLY, PASS THE BALL the last possession and don’t wait until TWO seconds are on the clock before shooting it. That was NOT a good look Jackson and you are just deluding yourself.

What I don't
understand is that if good offense in basketball consists of good ball movement, why does that change in the last possession of a basketball game? At least to me, Isos are not great for getting “open” looks and ultimately will involve taking a jump shot/runner over a defender.
by Warriors Fanatic on Jan 7, 2012 10:15 PM PST up reply actions
they should at least set a pick.
find a way to get their best defender off of monta.

it doesn’t we have crappy ball movement all game and game to game and year to year.They just think folks enjoy watching Montay do his thang win or lose.

i will say nellie is more creative on the offense.
and has a way of winning down the stretch of the 4th. but in the first 3…we would be beat almost consistently. so i would pick a good defense in 3 quarters than a 4th quarter comeback.

the offense came out firing at th start of the 4th quarter with monta off the floor
i think the “monta has to do it himself” argument is losing some of its credibility
the offense was on the court against their bench...
you still haven’t realized that? I thought I pointed it out once.
http://nbawarriors.wordpress.com/
we shot 41%
and even though i generally hate +/- i will say this, all bench players were usuaully high + and starters low low -’s.
RIP Al Davis
Yeah, plus-minus in a single game sample is fairly meaningless, though. Klay (1-6 fg. 0 reb, 2 tov) led the team with a +13!
There will be no extra point!
