OPEN THREAD: Game #1 - Warriors vs Lakers

by Hash on Nov 1, 2006 2:00 PM PST in Previews Comment 193 comments

Warriors (W-L): 0-0

Lakers (W-L): 1-0

Time: 7:30PM PST tip off

It begins. After going 5 - 1 in the preseason, the Warriors return to the Arena for their opening game. And who better to test ourselves against than the Los Angeles Lakers, a team who we lost against in every meeting during last year's regular season? Don't be fooled by the lack of Kobe tonight; the Lakers just came off a pretty decent comeback against the Suns. Shutting Odom down will be a big part of this game tonight.
Now is the time of Nellie. Let's see what you got!

Vegas Odds: Golden State favored by 6 ½ points. (Looks like Vegas has faith!)

GSoM Prediction: Warriors by 5.

when did Brand get traded to the Lakers

shutting down Brand shouldn't be a problem tonight...as a matter of fact I'll bet a million dollars that he won't score 1pt. against the W's tonight.
Just give you a hard time, i think you probably meant to say Odom and yes that will be the entire game plan...stop Lamar. He is all they have right now.

Let's Go Oakland! Gas, Brake, Dip.

from the horse's mouth

It's all about tonight!

Actually, not 100% - it's all about the next 20:

Nelson: "You can pretty well judge a team after 20 games or so," he said. "If we're not good after 20 games, we're gonna struggle. If we're good after 20, we'll have a shot."

Which corresponds exactly to the analysis earlier on GSoM by many contributors who've said that any realistic shot at 2007 playoffs resides in the first couple weeks of this gift of a schedule.

Warriors by 2: 116-114

Opening Game....

I paid $200+ for tickets to this game (plain $80 seats) and I'm ready to see the W's pick up a big 110-104 win in Don Nelson season debut....

by mightymadskillz on Nov 1, 2006 2:23 PM PST reply actions 0 recs

good luck...

I'm as optimistic as the next Warriors fan, but the Lakers will win by at least 10 tonight. Odom will abuse Dunleavy and Bynum will abuse Murphy.

ehhh

I'll give you Odom over Suckleavy but I can't see Bynum abusing Murphy. This kid just doesnt know how to play that game yet and Murphy's bball IQ will win the battle over Bynum's size. Brains vs brawns, mind over matter....or something like that.

by DaAzNJRiCh on Nov 1, 2006 3:30 PM PST reply actions 0 recs

Glad "The Arena" name is gone

Candlestick was classic. Jack Murphy (The Murph) in SD was classic. Wrigley Field. Yankee Stadium. Those are names that stick and you shouldn't replace, but "The Arena"? That's like calling a baseball field, The Ballpark or a football stadium, The Stadium. No, generic names do not work. It's hopefully a new era, and the ties to the arena and it's long long playoff drough need to go. I like "The Oracle" even though I don't like the company. And it may not be the greatest name, but it's a step up over The Arena.

by Fantasy Junkie on Nov 1, 2006 3:30 PM PST reply actions 0 recs

san diego

yeah "the murph" was like a cozy home. and of course that became expanded and became the the "Q"...qualcom....

also dont forget "the sports arena" on sports arena blvd...were the old san diego clips used to play. If you verture those hallowed walls you can see they did have some history there.... jimi hendrix, the beatles....last indoor concert i believe.... just before ending it all with candlestick.

and we now have cox arena as well as petco park

Prediction...

Should be a high scoring affair. I predict the Warriors win in a nail biter on a last second 3 by Anthony Roberson. The final score: 732-731. Nellie likes to run.

Seriously, Warriors win in by 8, 115-107. Go back to LA.

Lay the Points!!

I'll take 6.5 and put 2 units on the Oakland Warriors, home at the Oracle. I think Odom and Bynum (picked him up because of last night's performance) will get theirs. But the W's will outrun, outwit, outlast, outplay. Even if J-Rich isn't there I'm banking on an easy Warrior win because of Nellie ball and a back to back game for the Lakers should slow them down tonight.

by j richmark on Nov 1, 2006 3:48 PM PST reply actions 0 recs

Warriors Baby!!

Its a long season but I look forward to the new Nellie era.

Tonight, I say emotion carries the Warriors to victory by 4, 110-106, with Baron and Dunleavy combining for 45.

Lakers, I was impressed with Odom and Bynum last night but I don't think they repeat tonight.

"Odom will abuse Dunleavy and Bynum will abuse Murphy" Murphy can scare his man away with his mask but skinny little Dunleavey is pretty defenseless. Maybe Adonal could foyle the Lakers plans?

Bynum doesn't go for a career night again like he did last season versus our Dubs, high off of his active play from last night's game.

The arena is quiet as hell.

Its eerie. They might of toned it down purposely. But if anyone listening to it can tell me that that's how the crowd sounds in the Oracle, then that's crazy. The Ford Center is 10x louder when announcing the scrubbiest scrub. I sure hope they toned it down.

On a happier sidenote, Adonal is looking very stylish in his suit. Wheres his applause?

Nellie's playing a lot of zone, more than the 20% he said he'd play. After getting killed on the inside, I'm glad he switched to the zone.

The last 5 minutes of the half, Ike, Biedrins, and Murphy were all on the floor. I think Nelson sees his team's problems in the post.

Odom's just dominating. The Dubs don't have anyone who can match up with him. He's making it look easy.

15-7-7 and the 3rd quarter's not even over.

Lakers

Own the Warriors. Not much else to say here. BD has been far and away the best Warrior tonight. Ike has played pretty well and the effort from Beans is encouraging. Monta had a nice stretch early.

Other than that the whole team has sucked a big one.

Bad matchup

Nothing to be incredibly discouraged about in this game. The Lakers consistantly hand it to us because they don't allow many fast break opportunities/easy buckets. The 3rd quarter foul trouble was a death blow as it kept the game to a half court laker style game, inside of the wide open full throttle Warrior style. Better days are ahead.

by bigrobbieb on Nov 1, 2006 9:56 PM PST reply actions 0 recs

True

But what worries me is that there's no Kwame, no Mihm, and no Kobe. Odom only had to play 21 minutes and the Lakers have pretty much dominated this game in the 2nd half.

interior defense from foyle?! are you kidding me biendris and digou didnt play that bad. I mean yeah they made Turiaf look like Pau Gasol but then if Foyle was playing defense then he would make him look like Oscar Robinson. That was a sad game.

-make freethrows
-make opened 3 pointers
-stop fouling
-stop losing

This is a Kobeless laker team and we were suppose to win this game? Im scared to play the Blazers

Rhythm, my eye

They had to fly here coming off a hard-fought game against the run-and-gun Suns. We were tanned, rested, and ready. They were without their best player. Other than Odom, this was a team of borderline scrubs and benchwarmers. The game shouldn't even have been close.

Oh yeah, it wasn't close.
