Blog Buddy: Denver Stiffs
Warriors fans know that going into Denver and walking away with a win hasn't been an easy task in recent memory, but thanks to some key Nugget injuries the Dubs had an opportunity to make it five losses in a row for Denver, and they took advantage. Thanks to some impressive performances from Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and others, this one was basically a blow out until Mark Jackson sent in all the young pups late in the fourth quarter and watched them let most of the big lead slip away. Hit the Jump for some Quarter Notes and tonight's Warrior Wonder.
Quarter Notes
- 1st Quarter: All Steph all the time. Last time against the Thunder it was Monta who came out with guns blazing, but last night in Denver it was Steph's turn to take over the game early. The basket looked huge for Steph as he dropped in 15 of his 36 points in the first. Also of note is that Andris Biedrins chipped in about seven and a half minutes that didn't totally suck, including two nice blocks. Sigh... I wish that wasn't something of note.
- 2nd Quarter: Cue Kenny and Chuck "What kind of party is it? It's a BLOCK PARTY!" If Andris was the one to send out invitations to this particular brand of neighborhood gathering with his two blocks in the first, then I think we can safely call Ekpe Udoh the host of the party. Udoh blocked four shots in the 2nd (he finished with five) and challenged many more. Soon everybody was getting in on the action. Dominic McGuire and Dorell Wright both had blocks in the second quarter, and Steph even blocked poor Al Harrington when he tried to go up for a lay in. This was exactly the reminder Al needed that he can't finish inside, so he quickly retreated to the three point line where he drilled one to keep the game close.
- 3rd Quarter: This is where the Warriors made their run and took over the game. The starters came out of halftime sharp and went on a 23-5 run. Steph Curry continued to fill it up, and Dorell nailed three long balls as well. When the dust settled the dubs had outscored the Nuggets 37-20 in the third and pushed the lead to 13.
- 4th Quarter: If there was any doubt about the outcome of the game early in the fourth quarter it was put to rest when the line-up of Curry, Thompson, Rush, Udoh, and Lee went on a 12-2 run about four minutes in. Klay "the Kloser" Thompson stole the show again in the fourth by almost single-handedly carrying the load on offense with his 14 fourth quarter points. This kid is making me a believer. His shooting is as good as advertised, but I've been surprised at how well he moves without the ball, and he's definitely impressed me with his ball handling. He's not just a floor spreading stand-still shooter like Rush or Dorell. He can find ways to get open, and take advantage when the defense closes hard on him.
Rotation Sensation Revisited
It could just be because of Nate Robinson's injury, but I like the way coach Jackson has been mixing up the line-ups more since the loss to the Kings. There were a number of effective line-ups that blended the strengths of the starters with the bench, including that Curry, Thompson, Rush, Udoh, Lee unit that made the critical run late in the game to close it out.
Finding an Identity
Being a "jump shooting team" might carry with it some negative connotations, but it seems like the Warriors are continuing to embrace a perimeter oriented identity on offense, and it seems to be working for them. The Dubs just don't have the talent on the roster to play a true inside-out game, so they have been doing the next best thing in using their three point shooters to space the floor and stretch the defense. This has been opening up the pick and roll game for David Lee, and creating lanes for penetrating guards.
They haven't totally embraced small-ball seeing as there are still two big men on the floor the vast majority of the time, but there have been some key, if somewhat subtle, changes. First of all, the floor spacing in general is much better than it was earlier in the year. We haven't been seeing shooters clump up on the perimeter as much, and the off the ball movement is much better. They've been playing more effectively in the sets with Lee at the high post with shooters coming off down-screens. Putting all that pressure on the defense to keep up with shooters moving without the ball has been paying dividends, and creating opportunities all over the floor. Another key has been getting into early offense. There is less dribbling down the shot clock, and more attacking when there is an early opportunity. It seems like things are starting to flow more naturally on that end of the floor.
Wardell Stephen Curry II (that's for you MB)
Steph had one of the best games of his career finishing with 36pts 7ast 7reb 2blk (yes, two blocks) and only one turnover. If he keeps this up he might just end up being as good as Jeremy Lin.

Yeah Wardell, WW! Didn’t catch the game. Was over when I got home. Looks like a good W, though Denver’s reeling right about now. Watched the second half of the Kings-Thunder game. Fun game to watch, a lot like our game against the Thunder, but with a slightly better outcome for the NorCal team.
Don’t look now, but Curry’s at 23 points/9.5 assists the last 4 games. Maybe Lin’s excellence is so amazing it’s inspired Curry across the country?
yeah, I'm one
he is definitely starting to look more and more promising

Some vindication for Evanz...
…. I believe the Curry, Klay, Rush, Udoh, Lee line-up is the one he’s been advocating for for a while.
Start ’em!
How so? Every time I see him mention Klay, it is a derisive comment. He can’t bring up Klay without opining about how Leonard is so much superior. Udoh played very well, but he needs to do a better job on the boards. A little offense would be a nice bonus too.
you don't follow me on twitter?
if you did, you’d hear me say plenty of good things about Klay recently
J-RIDAH: Its not 1 player in this draft better than Monta or Lee. Anthony Davis is no different than Al Farouq Aminu. Andre Drummond could be good but he is not impressive at this point at all besides his size. This draft is hella overated.
(JaVale) Mcgee is better than anybody in this draft.
I don’t have a Twitter account, but I’ll take your word for it. I’ve been on your blog a few times though—it’s good. From what I’ve seen, most of the things you’ve written about him have been unflattering. For instance the exchange with the Spurs blogger you posted on here where you said drafting Klay ahead of Leonard was a decision that would haunt the Ws for years to come. You’ve also compared Klay to Kyle Korver, which was intended as an insult. You aren’t the only one to make these comments, but you sorta stand out. I’m glad he is starting to convince you that he has some talent.
When you advocated a Curry, Klay, Rush, Udoh, Lee lineup was it because you thought it would be a good one or because you thought it would be the best one for tanking?
he thought it would be a good one
"Anthony Davis is no different than Al Farouq Aminu." - J--Ridah
Me: So who (from the 2011 draft class) compares with (Anthony) Davis?

"Anthony Davis is no different than Al Farouq Aminu." - J--Ridah
Me: So who (from the 2011 draft class) compares with (Anthony) Davis?
J-Ridah: Biyombo
Yeah, basically my take, too. I can easily see him being a rich man’s Korver – a bit better on D, and a bit more rounded on O, but ultimately fairly similar players and even if Klay is better, it won’t be a huge difference. I think Korver might be a bit underrated, I actually think his D might not be that bad.
by Missing Barry on Feb 10, 2012 4:17 PM PST up reply actions
Nothing, but he is seen as a one dimensional spot up shooter off the bench. It’s not bad, but it is basically saying he is a very limited player. It’s not a compliment.
Do you expect Klay to turn into much more than that?
by Missing Barry on Feb 10, 2012 4:11 PM PST up reply actions
Yes, I think he has a good feel for the game. He already plays better D than Korver. I think he is gonna be a good, well rounded player with a much higher ceiling than Korver. Calling Klay Kyle Korver is like calling Leonard Dominic McGuire because they both play good D.
On the other hand, Klay’s averaging under 3 assists per 36, 3 rebounds per 36, 2.5 turnovers, and over 5 fouls. I’m also not sure his D is better than Korver’s at the moment – easy to look better than you are by comparison when the rest of the team sucks at D….
by Missing Barry on Feb 10, 2012 4:36 PM PST up reply actions
I’m not saying he is there yet. He has showed some flashes of what he is capable of doing, and has steadily improved as the season has progressed. I think he is focusing on what he does best to get PT and help the team win. If he tried to do too much, he’d get criticized for that too. Right now he might be comparable to Korver, but he’s only been in the league 25 games, while Korver’s been around for ten years. It’s gonna take some time before he fully develops his game.
by Pippen on Feb 10, 2012 5:42 PM PST via mobile up reply actions
Of course. I don’t disagree with any of that. The big question ultimately is just how much is he going to develop? I think he has a long way to go if he’s going to become a complete all-around player…so we’ll see.

Has Klay made Monta expendable yet?
by Anonymous1337 on Feb 10, 2012 4:23 PM PST via mobile reply actions
Well, neither Morrow nor Reggie apparently made Monta expendable, and I would say both of them were better as Warriors than Klay has been so far. The good news is Klay is just getting started, seems to have a bit more potential, and is a couple years younger than they were. Definitely not convinced he’s ready to be a starter, and I’m not sure yet if it’s even a good bet he’ll ever really be a solid or better starter.

Hilarious
How this has turned into a Lin Open Thread.
Anyway, Curry was on KNBR around 5ish today. Tom brought it up the same concerns I had with him during the Thunder game which helped lead to the loss. Curry deciding to double Ibaka and leaving Cook wide open for the 3. Also, the two following turnovers (bad pass & travelling). Curry admitted it was a mental lapse on his part leaving Cook open.
Hopefully he learns
He’s been having those lapses all season

This is what Keith Smart said yesterday about Lin when he played for him
“Oh, yeah, because he had a skill already,” Smart said Thursday. "He had an aggressive skill on both offense and defense — offensively getting into the paint and getting to the basket; defensively he would get himself into place for a steal or a rebound, and he didn’t back down from guys.
“The things he didn’t understand was going to the rim in traffic. How far did he go when the long guys are waiting for you there? On the pick-and-roll, when do you make that pass? The skill game wasn’t there yet, but the little things that you knew would transfer pretty quickly — an incredible work ethic, the way he approached the game from the film studies and from listening to coaches — and you put those to what he already had, and it was just a matter of time with him figuring out the game.”
So let’s see if Lin learned what to do in traffic.
I think he's learned a little
You know, it’s cool that he worked on his stuff despite having his career in question. Now all he needs to do is improve his left

Linball has arrived! First "quality" team he is playing, and has over 20 already.
And everyone knows they are going to him…
Matt Barnes close up of his neck We Believe tattoo
I sort of miss him. I used to like him a lot.
Well
if the Knicks are down 10 with less than 2 mins to go and Lin leads them back to win the game, then yes…it would rival Tebow Time.
Lin’s been able to keep his team in control the entire game which is crazy impressive.
Good point, I was talking about taking a losing team and going off on a winning streak.
Lin has been very strong every 4th qr of the last 3 games, and has been a difference maker at crunch time. That also reminds me of Tebow’s late game heroics (though not always coming back from behind).
except...that lin doesnt suck for 90% of the game

And the nice thing about Lin, he doesn't have an ego
if Carmelo and Amare come back and dominate the scoring, Lin won’t care, as long as he plays and sets them up.
I can't remember where I read it
but I read that DLee gave Lin the keys to his NY apartment so he didn’t have to sleep on his bro’s couch.
just thinking the same thing
Man, with the Kings and C-Webb, he was good. Sort of sad to see him in this condition…
I am feel mean spirited saying this
but Lin’s success is bitter sweet to me.
like a slap in the face wake up call to Lacob and Smart?
by PIRATEWARRIOR on Feb 10, 2012 7:22 PM PST up reply actions
I see it this way
He couldn’t have found that success with us. There wasn’t a total vacuum at the point guard position for the Warriors. Even with Curry’s ankle problems, a rookie coach (nay two rookie coaches, including Smart) was not going to put this undrafted, untested player in. Our team was never as desperate at the guard position. He still would’ve been a good bench contribution, probably would not have gotten Nate, but he seems to vibe on the confidence that’s come from his strong play. Strong play that he never would have been able to access with us.

true, good points!
Makes me feel a little bit better. I guess I am just jealous, to be honest. I really, really want that kind of success for the Warriors on a national level. I just do. I’m greedy- I want it all for the dubs!
Also
One of Lin’s breakout games came during a really sorry showing from our guards against the Kings…so yeah, the sting’s there. Lin completely outperforming Curry…ouch.

I know the shooting coach he was working with
during the lockout. His name is Doc. He coaches the girl’s bball team at Pinewood HS. I’m sure he’s mad excited for him right now
Oh I see... Yeah probably too much publicity.
I’m not surprised by the choice. Doc coached Lin’s old prep coach, and Doc emphasizes shooting mechanics extremely heavily in his coaching style with the girls team, which is why that team generally makes the most 3s every year.
Kobe 8-23, Lin 12-20 lol!

I’ve been extremely disappointed with the last several coaching decisions. I wanted Nellie to stay his last year and develop the 2010-2011 not ready for prime time players. I wanted Smart to be given more than a one year trial with that uninspiring roster. I get the front office’s insistence on winning now, but they have to realize that the team as currently constructed *cough*whyisn’tRileybeingheldaccountable*cough* is in no position to win now.

And, Lin tears up our current backcourt....that would be very hard!
No doubt he will score once he get up against our big guys inside!

And to think, the Warriors sent him to the D-League
I mean, I know that you can improve there, but this much in this little of time???? No way. He had this bottled up, just waiting for an opportunity. I think he would also have been just as thankful for a spot on our bench with a breakout like this. He really seems like a genuine guy.
I have to wonder how the other Warriors are feeling now. On the surface they will say they are happy, but I bet they all secretly wish to be in his shoes right now.
Lin’s success sort of makes it look like the only thing holding him back was being on the Warriors.
