    The warriors came off an amazing win against the Magic.

    Let's hope the warriors don't get too three-happy against a good rebounding team.

    Magic win was nice but man we made a TON of jumpers. This team is terrible reliant on shooting. Almost all our J's went down after the 1st Q but that won't happen most nights.

    I'm shocked nobody has posted a thread about the Magic game. So much drama! One of my coworkers said he was going to the game with a group of his friends. It was going to be the first NBA game for one of those friends, and my coworker was concerned that friend was going to be let down, because my coworker expected the Warriors to get blown out. He didn't want his friend's first NBA game to suck. Well, after that game, I wouldn't be surprised to find out he's hooked, and looking for season tickets! lol

    Anyway, I hope the Warriors don't play down to the level of the T-wolves (again). I also am tired of seeing them dig such a big hole and have to climb out. I'd like to see the W's play from the front for a whole game, so they can get used to it, and then do it more.

    BTW David Lee did a hell of a job against Dwight in the 4th Q and overtime. Wonder why he can't do that more often.

    Udoh was destroying them on defense and then doesn't get in until garbage time with 3 mins left in the 4th. Screw you Smart.

    How the hell were we the team to stop Love's double double streak?

    Anywho we ended up blowing them out. Good win I suppose.

    Does anybody know what the deal is with the starting center spot??? Why did Udoh lose the spot? I thought he was doing as well as can be expected. He's definitely superior to Biedrins in every way besides rebounding.

    No fuggin clue. Smart gave him the starting spot for what like 2 games then arbitrarily switched back to Andris. Udoh's numbers looked like crap for a starter but, as always with Udoh, he was certainly more impactful than Beans out there on the floor.

    Some other observations:

    - Monta only played 28 minutes which is impressive. Could come in handy tonight in Sac (though when does he EVER look tired, even on back to backs where he plays 42+ a night).

    - Al Thornton is horrid.

    - Lee with another good defensive performance? What the hell has gotten into him lately.

    - Is it just me or did Wes Johnson get crappier since last year at Cuse? Everyone knew he wasn't going to be creating his own offense lik a Kobe/Bron/Wade but he was a deadeye shooter in college and a tremendous slasher and finisher. Hes reverted into being a 3 pt shooting specialist who doesn't shoot it from 3 that well.

    - AR was fugging lost out there lol. Dude looks like a long shot to ever be even close to starting material in the NBA.

    - Johnny Flynn also looks horrible. BTW Ridnour impresses me every time I see him now. Hes been shooting well from 3 pt range the last two seasons or so and its really completed his game IMO. He'd be a GREAT backup but not alongside Curry/Monta.

    - Reggie Williams played only 9 minutes. Fewer than Vlad, Al Thornton, Lou, Udoh, and Acie Law. On the one hand maybe it was a reason our defense was so good. That said, Thornton is a god awful defender and even with his flaws Reggie is the most capable bench player we have. Digging a bit deeper on this, hes averaging a season low 13.3 mpg in March. In 4 out of the 8 games this month hes played 9 minutes or fewer. Wonder what the future holds for this guy. He does appear to be having a down year yet hes shooting 47% from FG and 44% from 3. Seems like the team may be better when Law/Vlad get those minutes though. His defense is awful but he can score, he just isn't a tremendous go-to option and doesn't get a lot of touches.

    Yeah, it sounds like an excuse, but Udoh is truly one of those players whose impact is not reflected by the box score. There is no stat for forcing your counterpart into poor shots, which to me is his biggest asset. Aside from the specific man that he's guarding, the entire opposing team is forced to shoot way more jumpers when Udoh is in...without him, it's a frenzy of shots in the paint. That can't be objectively measured, and I fear that's why it goes underappreciated.
