Ugh, Maggette back at 4. CJ Watson gets the start. I've had enough of CJ Watson. He just went for a steal on Finley in the post. Finley went up for the dunk. I've also noticed CJ is starting to take a lot of jump shots. I don't want CJ taking a single shot. In fact, if he has an open layup, I want him to pass. LOL. That's how much I think CJ sucks.
3:42 in first quarter, Crawford brings the ball up with Morrow wide open on the wing. What does he do...chucks up a 3. Biedrins get the rebound and then the offensive foul. FFFFFFFF
Ugh... Forget defense, even in offense, it has been horrendous. I watched about 11 minutes, and I saw 10 offensive sequences when one guy catches the ball, dribbles it for a while and just shoot the ball without any consideration of passing. Just once, I actually saw the ball moving. Even in playing ground, I saw better ball movement...
Did you just see Maggette? He missed the 3, got the rebound, had two open players but opted to take a jumper...and missed. 1 for 7. You've got to be kidding. I think I saw Crawford look at Nellie and said WTF. The Spurs are basically toying with us. I think the USF Dons could probably beat the Warriors right now.
Lol, yeah I saw and I shaked my head. We are finally moving a basketball, but then, that doesn't mean we are actually making a basketball. Great defense by Warriors once again allowing Parker to go coast to coast in like 3.6 second. I think Crawford was in half court when he scored.
It's not just Maggette. It feels like every Warriors players think they are superstars and they are entitled to shoot the ball whenever they catches. Absoulte selfish basketball in offense will cause lazy defense, because nobody thinks they are involved in the ball game. Of course, Spurs are having open jumpers all night, and we are at the mercy of them missing some of jumpers...
Biedrins can have all basketball... through offensive rebound. And, that's pretty much what's happening. Sad...
Jeez. I just got home and missed the game. Good thing. I was listening to Kings basketball for a bit when they mentioned the Warriors. Someone said the Kings and Warriors have the same record, but the Warriors are a worse mess. This is a team being mauled by the Denver Nuggets saying this and Kings coach Reggie Theus' job could be in jeopardy. OTOH the Warriors give their head coach Don Nelson an extension for two more years. The Warriors have become the laughingstock of the Pacific Division in less than two years after making the playoffs.
The struggles of the Golden State Warriors continued Saturday night in San Antonio as the oldest team in the league defeated the youngest team in the league 123-88. The Warriors were coming off of a loss to the Houston Rockets, and the Spurs made sure that the Warriors losing streak remained. Golden State has now lost nine games in a row. "It is getting old, man," Corey Maggette said. "But we just got to keep playing. Hopefully one of these days, it's going to really click, and we can really find what we need to find. It's tough right now but we've just got to stay together." Maggette struggled, making only one field goal on ten attempts giving him 6 points and 7 rebounds. Stephen Jackson left the game in the second quarter to rest his sprained hand. The Dubs had a season low 11 assists to go with their 11 turnovers in the blowout. The Spurs showed that they were still a defensive power house by holding Golden State to only 37 percent shooting from the field. Were there any bright spots for the Warriors in the game? Brandan Wright led the team in scoring with 13 points and looked ready to play unlike most of the team. None of the Warrior starters played over 31 minutes and Don Nelson threw the towel in early by letting the youngsters play extended minutes in the second half. Tim Duncan led the Spurs by scoring 20 points and grabbing 13 boards in 20 minutes of action. Tony Parker and Michael Finley both helped by scoring 17 points each. Don Nelson praised San Antonio after the game. "We had hoped to play the Spurs when they were injured," Nelson said, "but we didn't make it in time. We played badly tonight, and they can always make you look worse than you are." The Warriors catch a break on Monday night when the visit the Oklahoma City Thunder. Hopefully, that will be the game were the losing streak finally ends for Golden State.
Blow this team up and sell off the parts for bulk. What a disaster. I would trade anyone and everyone on this team right now, including Monta, for one legit superstar and one roleplayer who can shoot. We have nothing. This is just unwatchable.
Matt Bonner > Corey Maggette Spurs' bench > Warriors' starters I know we are all DIE HARD Warriors fans. I watch EVERY game available, usually after work on DVR. Tonight was the first time I deleted the recording before halftime. There was obviously no point in watching the second half. This is first for me as a fan. There are no bright spots. Beidrins is actually not a bright spot because I just feel bad for him, having to watch him try to play with these dickheads Jax, Mags and Crawford. Poor guy. I hope he doesn't refuse to play for GS anymore, because he's the only starter worth keeping. Keep Beans, Randolph, Morrow and Wright. Liquidate the rest.
BTW, it looks like the Maggette shots above made some headlines (sorta): http://www.ibabuzz.com/warriors/2008/12/06/post-game-tid-bits-at-spurs/ http://48minutes.net/2008/12/07/thoughts-on-game-no-20-spurs-123-warriors-88/
