This game can go either way. I'll bet my money on the Nuggets considering they probably have better rebounding and they have massive homecourt advantage. (The altitude up there is hard on any other running team besides Denver). I bet the Nuggets can destroy us from the foul line if we're not careful. They could ride the free throw bonus into victory.
Offensive rebounds: Nuggets-13 Warriors-0 Once the Warriors cool off they are going to get blown out if they dont start hitting the glass. Biedrins picking up his 4th foul in the 2nd doesnt help either.
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/odds I guess Rudeezy's right. We'll get blown out on cue once we get sloppier and lazier on D or more tired out. At least the statisticians think we'll lose for sure.
Was anyone surprised though? I made a prediction before the season started that it was mediocrity all the way except for in the case that the last seeded playoff teams were also mediocre as well. Then it could go either way. But now, we just have no second chance rebounding or any form of inside scoring to compete each night if those shots aren't falling or if we can't run it out in transition. We also don't play defense like the other running teams do. And as far as offseasons go, was Mullin unable to do anything because of the deals he signed in 2004 or was it because of something else? It sure seemed like Mullin sat on his hands in the offseason when he could have been immediately putting a team around Baron back in 2005. Give him a strong center on the low to at least back up Biedrins. Maybe getting Magloire would have been helpful. I dunno, not too many effective big players these days, but there's still other big men that could be more useful on the defensive end than Dunleavy or Murphy. If we had more big man depth we'd probably be a little bit better, but setbacks to guys like Taft and (maybe) Zarko make things difficult. Plus, we had no choice but to draft big man projects since most big men who come into the league get snatched up before the 8th or 11pick. NBA ready, fundamentally sound players with nba bodies go quickly. Which is why I hoped we tried to tank early and avoid ourselves being stuck at the 8-11th again. We need a top 5 pick in a deep draft IMO. Even if it's a crapshoot, we'll probably find some interesting player that'll give us what we need, if it's a deep draft.
Wow seem like the warriors do nothing but shoot threes and miss while the other team just shoots threes and makes them
I'm about ready to bag this season. Did anyone actually bet on the Nuggets? If they did, they must be rich now. If anyone bet on the Warriors, I recommend Gamblers Anoymous.
I don't think gambling is 50/50 chances of winning like this team wins or loses. You have to bet according to the spread (i.e. the outcome in terms of the final score). Doesn't matter if you bet on who won, you have to know the final score and be accurate about it.
Yeah, I knew about the spread. I think it started at +9 this morning and went up to +9.5 at game time. It still was easy money for the people who bet on the Nugz. Shoot if I knew that, I would've bet my house on the Nuggets and would be crying in my drink my new butler made me now while CR2 would be crying in his beer and Carter in his apple juice .
Hey guys, I saw the stats for tonights game and noticed Kelenna Azubuike has been playing well as of late. I kind of wish the Rockets kept him, but we are already stacked at the SG position. I am thinking of adding him on my fantasy team, but I am not sure if his play as of late is just a fluke on account of I don't get to see many GSW games. I want to switch him out for Chucky Atkins (his 3pt shooting lately helps my team), but I could use a couple of extra blocks. Is he consistent with his 3s, and will he continue to get at least 1 block for every 2 games? Thanks in advance.
I can't get down on a team that hasnt had its highest scorer all season. HAs relied on bottom of the barrell players like BArnes that should have been washed out of the league. Has had the worst luck in injuries of any franchise i have ever seen. BArnes has been playing consistently bad that what is the point .... he is the derek fisher of this season.... aguy who makes stupid mistakes every game.... is soft.... i mean what is with the football passes into the stands and the soft fouls and why is he always the inbounder.... he had three players open early in the 4th and tries to force it to Ellis for a turnover... but why he really reminds me of fisher is his on court demeanor.... he acts like he is the man.... like it his team ..... thinking shot first ...shot second .... and man the refs thing.... can we get a call.... or how about a no call.... biedrins is backing away...doing everything possible to avoid his third foul..... and camby gets a call when isnt touched.... 3 on ab.... ab gets no respect..... on the offensive end he gets hammered and rarely gets to the line while he cant breath without getting a call on himself oh yeah .... i was making a positve post.... hey Powell looked great.... and we saw AB and powell together briefly...
AZ is gonna get one more game of decent minutes and then J-rich, pietrus comes back ....and soon aftter.... fingers crossed....baron..... which means ....i wouldnt pick up az for fantasy after this week
<div class="quote_poster">iLL PiLL Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Wow seem like the warriors do nothing but shoot threes and miss while the other team just shoots threes and makes them</div> Well, more like GS misses and it's 1-and-done, while when the other team misses they get 3 or 4 more opportunities because GS can't clear the boards. I guess when you have four guards and one forward on the floor that can happen...
Someone sign Kelenna Azibuike to a freaking max contract. The stuff on J.R. Smith was absolutely nuts to top off his 20 something point performance. That guys my new my favourite player. It's a shame that the Warriors season has gone down the drain... Yet again. I'm a Raptors fan, so I can somewhat relate.
The Warriors have a terrible road record, 8 guys dressed, No Davis, No JRich, against a healthy Denver team... Why would anyone be surprised or shocked in any way about this one? Right now, all the team can hope for is that the all-star break gets here and the guys can heal a bit
