For all of you in San Jose, I called the Britannia Arms in San Jose, and they will be showing the game today.
Well... that's the last time I set foot in the Brit when the Warriors are playing. That was a horrible performance.

I'd love to see a statistician come up with the Jack-production to win-loss record comparisons.
I think winning and losing has more to do with our D. Scoring is fine, but we can't seem to hold down opponents like we used to during that run. Then there's also shot selection. I figure if we get less minutes from Harrington and play some guy that wants to score inside and can finish inside, we start to win more. I know Memphis was an inferior team without an elite big man, but it's one example of how the warriors can punish guys if the shot distribution is evenly spread and guys like Biedrins and Wright are playing around the hoop rather than launching threes and missing point blank shots.

Even against the Hornets this is when the Warriors were dominating. If they are not doing this, then they have to depend on clutch shooting and they haven't been getting any of that from anybody other than Ellis and Baron. Jackson, Barnes, Harrington, are ice cold. The worst thing is that Monta will be super hot and they'll decide to totally ignore him. I don't get it.
