i was at that game...even though murphy had some good numbers, he was getting beat the whole night. No Defense whatsoever, he couldn't even box out to grab that many boards. Same with Fish, on D he was always getting beat and i dont understand why monty made fisher guard turkoluo or however u spell his name. With fisher's mistakes and how he can never run the break, we could of lost it. I bet if we had baron, we would of blew this team away

Just watch the game, man.. Cohanhater, if you think you're a jinx, then you must love Cohan that much. Man I gotta get back to work. Luckily I type fast and it doesn't take me long to write what I'm thinking. Crap.
I can give you a little more background... I was born in Ohio and was a Bengals fan, but we moved out west when I was 4. Just before Debartolo got busted I decided that I hate Mike Brown and I go to about 3 to 5 49er games a year... I guess I'll start Cheering for them until Mike Brown either sells the team or croaks. I switched my Bengals Credit Card for a 49ers one... and look what happened. I'll test the theory out Friday.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting custodianrules2:</div><div class="quote_post">Well he's right in a way, Magic aren't that hot and they aren't a team we normally face since they are in a different conference. But Gohn glad you feel glad. We beat the Magic in a game where we statistically don't do well on the glass, we don't shoot better than 40%, we don't move the ball, we don't hit our free throws. Yet I can't help but feel sorry for ourselves that we're here giving ourselves a pat on the back because we're grateful for a win. I'm just not optimistic because we came off some seriously frustrating losses and we haven't proven we're ready to make a big run against our own conference opponents. Anything can happen though and I guess we should be glad to see some improvement if for only one game against an Eastern conference team. We should re-seed! Put the Warriors in the East Atlantic!</div> Yeah, I see what you mean. I doubt they make a big run during the big road trip coming up, just too many mental errors to win. But hey, the warriors are my favorite team and I want to see them win and do well, even though I feel the team is poorly built. There's not much I can do except support the team, despite the depressing situation they're in.

It's all about what we do in the long haul, unless we find some great foundation to build around. It might not be Baron or Jrich but we have to start somewhere and that doesn't mean starting over by wiping out everybody again. I hope the Warriors value each posession more when they have the ball, learn other ways to attack the basket when they can't push, and they continue playing defense but not overplaying or underplaying (all through the game). This team defense is just so streaky when certain "stay at home" guys are in there. Pistons and Spurs, those are my ideal teams defensively. They don't need to play zone.

We're better now than the sorry teams that used to lose in the 1Q. Those teams never really had a chance once they fell behind and fans went basically to watch the other team. It got better with Eric Musselman coaching the team, but the team didn't have the talent they have now and still ended up losing more. Nevertheless, this current team sucks and it will take more than one or two players coming back to get in the playoffs this season. That is out of reach because of its problems that haven't been overcome.
BTW... remember when they went on that winning streak earlier in the year... I was in India for work. Just another wrinkle to the Jinx theory.
I've come to the conclusion that if CohanHater ceases to exist *hint hint* the Warriors will not only make the playoffs but will defeat the Pistons in 4 games to win the NBA championship.
The good news is.. I'll be going on a 3 week vacation.. the bad news, not until August. I'll make sure to plan a March vacation next season.
