W2B follows the NBA - via the Golden State Warriors

[Warner2BruceTD]

The Warriors lost to a clearly inferior Kings team, thanks to dreadful shooting and a little bad luck. These two things will kill you on the road, even against a woeful team like the Kings.

Down double digits, GS tied it at 56 in the third. Roughly five game minutes later, it was 72-56 Sacramento. And so the second comeback began, led by Jarrett Jack, who this team has to find more minutes for.

Klay missed a big three that would have cut the lead to four with about 6 minutes left, but worse was the put back by Leee that rattled in and out. To that point, the Warriors had about a half dozen shots that literally went through the hoop but somehow popped back out. Crazy.

Sacramento saw their lead cut all the way to two with 1.3 seconds left, thanks to some horrible offensive possessions. The Kings offense basically consists of a high screen with 5 seconds left on the shot clock, followed by sloppy drive. That, or as Matt pointed out in the chatbox, one pass followed by a bad jumper. There is no flow, there is no plan.

The Curry three ball at the buzzer, from half way between the half court line and three point line, hit back iron. Fitting end. Warriors didnt deserve this one.

2-2

Except for the charge Curry drew on CP giving us the win vs. LAC, Curry's season has been AWFUL so far. Dude is getting lit up on defense, and his offense is even worse. He can't hit a shot, horrible shooting games. Dude is even missing free throws. And to top it off, he makes AT LEAST 3 lazy passes a game that results in turnovers. I don't like his effort or his body language either. And I NEVER will see Mark Jackson fire anyone up ever. Which is weird, since the guy was the exact opposite as a player. But as a coach, Mark Jackson just watches with his hands in his pockets. He will mix in a clap every so often. But god forbid the guy ever coach anyone.

No Carl Landry to save us last night. The Warriors best offensive sequences occur when Bogut is on the floor. Otherwise this offense is complete and utterly lost.

Frustration is starting to set in a little for me, because this team is not playing up to their ability level.

 

[godspeed]

Finally a good complete game played, especially for the starters. I hope you were able to catch the game warner. Curry finally found his stroke, and for the first time did not look lethargic and had some energy. Landry continues to be the team MVP. He gets so many tough baskets.

 

[Bomberooski]

That was a real fun game to watch last night. Big Klay Thompson fan from his days at Washington State and I'm starting to really enjoy watching Andrew Bogut!

On the other side I really really like watching Kyrie Irving play.

 

[Rudi]

Ya'll got lucky Kyrie Irving had FOOD POISONING yesterday and that Varejao didn't play. No one to match up with Lee/Landry. And CJ Miles shouldn't be on an NBA roster.

I do NOT enjoy Varejao but he would've won that game for the Cavs

This may come to a surprise, but as a Cavs fan I have hated Varejao for years. Like I honestly can't stand the guy. But he is a key part to this team, and without him they are atrocious. He missed a majority of last season and that's why the Cavs only won a handful of games.

Why didn't he play last night?

 

[Rudi]

Bruised right knee. It came as a surprise to me...I didn't even know he was banged up, then I seen the Cavs beat writer tweet 30 mins before tipoff that Andy wasn't playing. And Zeller broke his orbital bone which really sucks he will miss awhile.

David Lee and Jarrett Jack were both very sick too. Lee was getting IV tues night and and weds and said he was on his death bed. He was vommitting all day, had a high fever and was dehydrated. Dude still wanted to play and ended up having a good game. Props to him.

When Bogut is at full stregth this team will really start to get strong. But it's gonna be another month of minute restriction and no back to back games for him. Bogut does so many of the little things, great passer, great defender, makes everyone around him better. He is fun to watch. The Warriors are at their best in the little time he is out there.

 

[JimLeavy59]

Too bad he can't stay on the court without getting hurt.

 

[godspeed]

Bogut being shut down for at least a week

He feels he is not 100%, and doesnt want to be on the court and is frustarted. They are not regarding this as another injury or setback. Just that his ankle doesn't feel strong enough yet.

Whatever he is giving us, is way better than any center has ever given us..lol.

Festus vs. Dwight Howard tomorrow.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Bogut has been fantastic in his limited time. I think if sitting now means he can get to 100% later, its a good move.

Also, for all of the talk of Curry's shitty defense, he sure makes a ton of great plays late in games.

Curry was always really good at drawing charges. He showed this Weds as well. But regular on ball offense he struggles. Case in point the Kings game. Isaiah Thomas quickly got Curry for 9 pts in the 1st qtr. Then Jimmer of all people came in and got him for 5 quick pts. Then the Aaron Brooks down the stretch for the kings completely destroyed Curry and basically made every shot. An ill Kyrie still got Curry for 28 on Weds.

Don't get me wrong a really like Curry. But NBA players are not respecting his defense at all. He needs to improve his defense and turn up the energy levels like players do playing him on defense.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

I can't believe how badly this team is still shooting. It's becoming a trend.

Ya, real ugly start to the season. So lucky to be 3-3.

God forbid Jackson tell these guys to drive, dish, penetrate, and have some form of offense??? NOPE, just chill with your hands in your pockets dude like you always do. Just hoping are new GM Myers, whom I actually like, cans this dude once and for all. He can't coach, and he isn't coaching them. None of these guys are getting better. It's all one on one, jumps shots, or mixed in the occasional pick and roll from Curry and Lee. And that's it.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Oh boy. What a debacle.

Jackson basically killed Klay Thompson in the presser for allowing the missed FT's to stay in his head, and for not fouling Gallinari. He didn't say so, but I think he ran that play for Thompson in double OT to try to give him some confidence back. Still a terrible decision, because Thompson was the coldest hand on the floor. And the non play at the end of OT1 was a disgrace. You have to get a shot off in that spot. Awful, awful stuff.

"They dominated us on the boards"...yeah, well, that tends to happen when you refuse to play a big man for most of the game.

The funny thing about that was, it wasn't that bad. I remember checking stats during the first part of 1st OT and it was 53-47. It finished 65-54, in due to large part of the Warriors chucking horrible shots, missing free throws that occurred at the end of the 1st OT and into the 2nd.

Denver is the #1 rebounding team in the NBA at 52 rebounds. We are #4 in rebounding at 45. So both teams were over their average obviously because of 2 OTs and atrocious shootings on both teams.

Most of the time his post game interviews are as bad as his coaching. He makes no sense, and then always throws some of his taglines and catch phrases in there. His favorite answer to interviews is "This is a process". However he never details what the actual process he is talking about for any of his answers.

 

[godspeed]

Warrior beat writers are reporting that after the Loss to the Nuggets, Klay Thompson immediately left after the game, left his street clothes in the locker room, left the arena, and drove away still in his uniform,,,,HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
