OPEN THREAD: Game #49- Warriors vs Bulls- Turn Back the Clock!

To: Chuck
From: GSoM
Hey Charles really liked it the first time around!
Warriors (W-L): 29-19
Bulls (W-L): 19-29
TV: TNT
Radio: KNBR 680
Time: 7:30pm
Before you make the jump don't forget to sneak in your last minute entries for the CWebb Contest for a chance to win the GSoM Crew's pair of lower bowl tickets to watch the Golden State Warriors vs Washington Warriors next Monday night at the Roaracle.
Boy did I luck into this game when the GSoM Crew were dividing up the games to cover. I'm sure you remember the thriller at the Roaracle last time TNT was in town: Recap: Warriors 121, Nets 119 - An Emotional Rollercoaster. Tonight's game most likely won't be anywhere as close of a game as that one, but it's going to be even more entertaining. Here's what I wrote about this one in this week's Counting W's piece over on The W Column for FSN Bay Area:
The Golden State Warriors, Don Nelson, Chris Webber, and Charles Barkley all on national television. I don't think it gets any better than this! The last time this happened it was the 1994 NBA Playoffs 1st Round matchup between the Warriors and Suns. I can guarantee you that Barkley will not be going off for 56 points this time around.
As far as the game this isn't going to about the sub-.400 Bulls vs the .600 Warriors. It's going to be about the Dubs coming out in full force and putting the whole hoops nation on blast for the recent Baron Davis All-Star snub. This team understandable feels pretty disrespected after getting no representation in the entire 2008 All-Star Weekend, but that's just more fuel for their fire. Nellie's crew thrives in the role of the underdog and this week's TNT NBA Thursday is just the beginning. This team wants the whole world to know that they're a force to be reckoned with. It's a big statement game, particularly for Davis, Stephen Jackson, and Chris Webber who wants to show everyone he still has plenty left in the tank. If I were the Bulls there's a million other places I'd rather be than Oakland this Thursday night.
Here's another historical twist to this game. The Warriors will be starting their #1 overall pick (via trade) from the 1993 NBA Draft in Chris Webber. On the opposite frontcourt the Bulls will be starting the Warriors #1 overall pick from the 1995 NBA Draft in Joe Smith. Seriously, this game is just one big fairy tale. You couldn't ask for a better set of storylines.

Doc Nellie and Chris McFly ain't no bull!

I cant wait for tip off!!
2 games into a long winning streak! I can feel it.
C-web Or J- Smith?
Who's better right now? today?
Who's the better addition to the warriors? I say C-Webb just because of his passing ability in the half court.
by jiggah70 on Feb 7, 2008 5:59 PM PST up reply actions
I dunno...
Joe Smith's having a great year, so I'll have to
However, I heard that Joakim Noah will get the start tonight vs. CWebb. It should be a good test for Webber's strength and stamina.
Is the dude in your avatar
As for your question, Joe Smith. He's a great offensive player, even today, and a great 6th-7th man for some big man scoring/rebounding off of the bench. A shame he's stuck on struggling Chicago. Meanwhile, Webber didn't exactly put up fantastic numbers playing for Detroit so....for right now, he's below, but he could prove us wrong in the coming weeks. Great question, though.

Rest
Okay, they can make fun of Al all they want
So even if they think think Korver is a better shooter to call that an insult to Korver is just wrong.
Meanwhile the Warriors continue to struggle early against bad teams. I thought they had turned the corner in the NO game, but it looks like the five day rest came at a bad time.
it should be working

"That's why Baron is Baron." -Bob Fitzgerald
Lost It In the First Quarter
Too often the Ws don't come to play at the start of the game.
They say that
Barkley will use this to explain
Biedrins hasn't been finishing, Barnes hasn't been producing, Baron and Jackson didn't produce. Ellis produced the entire game yet we didn't give him nearly enough shots. Baron should not have 24 shots if Ellis is 11-12.

I'm sick of watching the team come out with no energy in the beginning of quarters. Baron and Jax played like sh*t tonight. Only Monta (11-12, 25pts and Biedrins (12pts,18rebs) bothered to show up.
Why

And ze wiener tonight iz Chris "why doesn't he start at pg for the bulls over kirk heimlich" Duhon.
It's also another one of those nights when ex warriors come back and destroy us.

Seriously though, a blind man can see that the Dubz (mainly harington) got manhandled by our former #1 bust.

Do you know his season average?
CWebb is undoubtedly the answer but I forgot the question.
Bad coaching??
Ellis was playing and shooting the ball well, but why doesn't he get him the ball more?
Barnes and Pietrus together does not make a good mix, because they are too much of a liability on both ends of the court. Am I the only one seeing it?
Starters are playing rusty, why not play your bench? i.e. Buke, who is a consistent shooter
Just shows that we need more of an inside presence, and another defensive stopper
