W2B follows the NBA - via the Golden State Warriors

[Kuzzy Powers]

Jarrett Jack was a good Raptor. Real pro. Was Calderon's backup and never complained. Just went to work ... kinda like Calderon is doing now with Kyle Lowry, not complaining, just playing.

I remember when T.J. Ford and Calderon were sharing minutes at PG for the Raptors and reporters were trying to start some sort of rivalry between the two. It never worked. The two ate team meals together, were fast friends and didn't fall for the rivalry thing.

Yay! My Raptors won tonight.

Sorry for the thread derail ... Raptors won't win for another month, so it'll be a month till the next derail.

You're lost here.. there most definitely was a sense of rivalry between TJ Ford and Jose, thats why they had to move TJ Ford.. they both wanted to start and one had to go. TJ hated Jose cutting into his minutes. In interviews from the last year or so he says he wishes he swallowed his pride and handled the situation way differently.

I have to admit, my eyes bugged-out looking at the Warriors record in today's paper. I'm glad for Mark Jackson, and especially David Lee. Hated seeing him go. He was one of my favorite Knicks, total work horse.

Ya, Lee has really stepped up his game the last month. Probably playing the best bball he has ever played. Confident with the ball, getting off some great moves, and playing some good defense.

Really big game tonight for the W's although you might not know it considering the Lakers record. But for the teams psychie, we really need to beat the lakers tonight. They have totally owned us historically, and we absolutely need to beat them when they are in a down year, and we are on the upswing.

Just to show you the lack or true believing in the team by experts, Lakers are the road favorite in this game (could be beause we are on back to back factoring in as well). We really need to win this game regardless.

Really tough loss for the team. Needed that game for the pyschie since the Lakers have owned us 33 of the last 38 games. Were in a great position to win that game and blew a sizeable lead in the last 10 min.

I'm still pretty excited that are record is where it is at right now. If someone would have told me 2 months ago we would be 18-10 without Bogut and Rush I'd say that couldn't happen.

But one issue still is the play of Klay and his use by Mark Jackson. This team really goes as Klay goes, and his inconsistency to hit wide open shots is a problem. In the 4th qtr the Lakers put 6'2 Nash on Klay basically daring Klay to start knocking down shots and he couldn't. He also missed a key layup as he usually does, this one was down the stretch, by trying to go reverse layup for no reason, again as he usually does.

The problem lays in the fact that Jackson has given Klay the green light regardless of the shot selection. He has free reign. YOur putting alot of responsibility on a 2nd year player who still doesn't really know what a good shot is. Some of the shots Klay takes are just awful. So he misses awful shots of course, then gets down on himself, then misses the wide open looks. His box score may have not looked bad, but watching the game it was a different story. It really gets messy, and those of you who watch warrior games know what I'm talking about. Then of course it shows in his defense and Artest is lighting him up with 20 and a key three pointer that Klay just stood there. I know Klay is a streaky shooter and gets hot, but his chance and the teams chance of better play will happen if Klay takes better shots.

If Klay can just take better shots, starting getting more consistent, he will become that key shooter everyone thinks he can be.

I would really like to see the W's take this back to back with the Celtics tonight. That would put us in good shape next week for the 2 game Clipper showdown. We really need to win one of those games to stay ahead in the season series after taking the 1st game with them.

Blake Griffin, 2/10, 10 points

A Clipper blowout to start this tough stretch, can't ask for better than that.

I was sold after the 7-1 road trip, but this win was perhaps the most impressive statement yet. This team is for real, I picked a fun one to follow.

Blake was 4-12 in the first meeting vs. the Warriors. We are doing a great job defending him.

Great game by all last night. Great energy from everyone. Loved Beans 3 blocks in the 1st qtr pumping up the crowd. Lee and Curry remain consistant, just need Klay too be more consistent. Barnes developing will really help the starters and take pressure off Curry and Lee. Landry and Jack doing what they do best off the bench. Really liked the toughness of the team inside tonight. They did the same thing against LAC in the first meeting this year too. They won't back down inside to them. In the past, we were way too soft inside and let teams pretty much throw us around.

Looking forward to the rematch Sat night. W's lead the season series 2-0. Both games have both been pretty heated and alot of trash talk, should be fun.

10 of the next 11 games are against teams with records over .500. Yikes !

You gotta give Klay some credit when it's due Godspeed. Guy hit 5 threes including multiple in the 4th to ensure the blowout would stick.

I've said this team goes as Klay goes. If he stays consistent, we become a very solid team. As much as I liked his offensive game last night M.Barnes and Crawford were torching him repeatedly on defense.

Big game tonight ! Warriors v. Clippers Game 3 .

[godspeed]

Poor effort, and poor energy from the warriors last night. Clippers really wanted this game and probably needed this game for the season series.

[godspeed]

Warriors hung tough last night, but we just do not matchup well at all with Memphis. Just no way to matchup with Gasol AND Randolph. Doesn't help when our coach he loves closing games with a small lineup complicates the matter.


Spurs, OKC, Memphis will most likely dominate us all year.

[godspeed]

My patience with Klay is just about used up. The mistakes he makes out there lead other teams to runs. Two very bad turnovers on back to back plays that gave the Nugz all the momentum in the 4th. His turnovers and inability to knock down wide open shots hurt the momentum. Meanwhile you have Barnes he is improving every game, not making any mistakes, yet will not get klays minutes in the 2nd half. Really frustrating.

ANd the way this team just chucks up shots on offense, with Jackson just chilling on the sidelines, gets me pissed. Please coach these guys up and do your job. Call time outs on runs. Have the right personel out there. When we are playing good teams we need a gameplan and some in game adujustments and strategies. And where in the heck did Draymond's minutes go????
