GAME THREAD #6: Timberwolves vs Warriors - Battle of the Bottom Feeders

Ooooookaaaay. So much for starting hot out of the gate. Remember, this was the easy part of the schedule. It's going to get a lot harder soon. You know I didn't want to make the playoffs this season anyways. In fact, I didn't want the Warriors to win 20 games this season. Whatever. Stupid Laker fans, it's their fault. And Al Davis's fault. And I blame Bush. And Tim Kawakami. Actually, it's the economy. I blame it all on the economy.

So many questions, so few answers: Is Don Nelson tanking already? Is John Wall that good? When is Stephen Jackson going to get traded? Can we trade for Chris Bosh even if he doesn't sign an extension? Will he even be any good playing for this cursed franchise? If you could trade all the Warriors for all the Clippers, would you do it? Do vegetarians eat animal crackers? Can fat people go skinny dipping? How does a thermos know whether a drink should be hot or cold?

GAME THREAD: Game 4 - Warriors vs. Clippers - The battle for the back of the pack rages on!

In reality, in the young season, it's probably too early to cut anyone out of the playoff picture, and after netting our first win on Wednesday, things seem much more upbeat than they just two days ago.  Still, history suggests that this isn't a clash of titans, and the Clippers' rapid accumulation of 4 losses against a lone close win over the visiting T-wolves on Monday won't shave away too many doubts about where they'll wind up come season's end.  But they play 'em for a reason, and expect plenty of drama to be had.

OPEN THREAD: Game 3 - Warriors vs. Grizzles - This Sucks

Memphis_grizzlies_v_golden_state_warriors_06rbnv906t6l_medium

Grizzlies: 1-3

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Editor's Note - Let's be real here.  This season is getting off to a terrible start, nothing seems to be working out, and nobody really wants to discuss our losing team.  Yes, we're playing the "lowly" Grizzlies, but let's remember that they beat us in EVERY game last year!  Don't believe me?  Check out herehere, and here.  So what if Rudy Gay didn't get an extension is now going to be an unrestricted agent at the end of the season?  Nobody wants to hear me break that down and our "potential" of getting him over here...Straight Outta Vancouver has that locked down.  Howza bout we all sit back, take a sip of that Golden Drink, and enjoy my silly creative writing?

OPEN THREAD: Game #2 – Warriors at Suns: Start the season right, take two

Out.of.my.way!

 

Suns: 1-0
Game Time: 7:00pm
Radio: KNBR 680
TV: CSN Bay Area

 

 

Disaster is not upon us. Losing the first game of the season does not end all chances for a successful season. It is a long season and one game against the Rockets did not answer all the questions surrounding the team. But we do know a bit more about our squad than we did Wednesday at 7:29pm. We know that Monta can still score and looks to have the mid-range shot and the quick move to the rim. We have seen Curry against real NBA competition when a game mattered, and the kid looked pretty good. The offense ran well with him driving the show and final seconds aside, there's more promise than doom while he's playing. Beyond that, Jackson is still Jackson, Maggette is still Maggette and neither seem overly concerned about those often unfortunate facts.

OPEN THREAD: Game #1 – Rockets vs Warriors: This is the Year

Update 1:45pm: The Bay Bridge is closed today so there's going to be a lot more traffic on 880 and on the streets. To get to the arena on time, either take BART or give yourself lots of extra time to get to the game.

Warriors: 0-0
Rockets: 0-1
Game Time: 7:30pm
Radio: KNBR 680
TV: CSN

You can count on two things at the beginning of every season, an in-depth and entertaining Warriors season preview from GSOM (part 1 (players previews) / part 2 (team preview)) and tons of fan optimism. Fans think their team improved over the offseason or are genuinely excited to watch specific players with potential. Not many fans dread opening day because reality has not yet slapped them across the face. Royals fans, Raiders fans (snicker), Clippers fans and yes, Warriors fans are all guilty of hoping that this is the year.

"We have to get back to being the hunters. The guys who were here last year should still have a bad taste in their mouth."

—Coach Byron Scott.

Ruh roh.  Me thinks Hunting Season starts tonight.  What better way of bringing momentum into the regular season than to beat up on the lowly Warriors?

Sigh..

But first, let's take a step back.  It's the final preseason game and what have we learned?

Most likely nothing. 

EXCEPT one thing.  Stephen Jackson has taught me many reasons why I should no longer make him my "favorite player." Nuts to you Stack Jack, nuts to you.
