Warriors

After a great win at home versus Portland, the Warriors came back and pushed Oklahoma City Thunder to the brink. But they couldn’t finish the job and ended losing to them, 120-109. The Warriors played rather well but after a 14-3 run in the late fourth quarter, the Thunder pulled away. Statistically, the Warriors played excellent. They shot 47% from the field and 43% behind the arc. But once again and it seems to be a recurring theme, the Warriors lost the battle of the boards and the battle of shooting free throws. They shot 18 less free throws than [...]

This Friday night the Warriors are at home to take on Kevin Durant and OKC Thunder at Oracle Arena in a showdown of Western Conference foes. With the Warriors recent struggles this will surely be a tough game, but with Stephen Curry now back in the lineup this might be a better game than people are expecting. Through our ticket partner TIqIQ, you can essentially pick your price via the TiqIQ “make an offer” feature from Score Big. For Friday night’s game, a “1 star” seat that usually goes for $50+ (after all the shipping and handling fees) can be [...]

Not a good start to a six game homestand. Two losses with four more games to go. And these were supposedly the easy teams. Well I suppose if you count as Sacramento as an easy win, I wouldn’t take it for granted. These losses could have been wins and the Warriors could be closer to .500. Good news is that Stephen Curry seems to have shaken off a lot of rust and came to play. He finished with 18 points while David Lee continues to provide mediocre production. He had another nice double double with 13 points and 10 boards [...]

Nothing has changed. Monta Ellis continues to be the hot hand and the consistant for the Warriors. Literally taking his team on his back, Ellis led the storm back as the Warriors tried to knock off the hot Indiana Pacers. Too bad George Hill decided it was time for him to step up. All night, Ellis burned him. He played great defense, but Ellis had better offense. Basically, last possession for the game and Ellis makes one mistake. Hill took advantage and converted a three point play which sealed the game. Both teams played ok. There was a lot of [...]

Another night game, another loss. After coming off a two game road win streak, the Warriors were bounced from their winning ways and sent packing with a loss. Statistically, the Warriors were pretty much even with the Nets. I mean come on, the NETS!!! They are offensively talented right now and I don’t think that they are very good on defense. The one big area that the Warriors had problems on was boxing and rebounding. The Nets out rebounded the Warriors 45-25 with the Warriors giving up 16 offensive boards. That with the combination of shooting only 67% from the [...]

@ Charlotte (L) 112-100 @ Detroit (w) 99-91 First two games of a four game road trip is done. The record. A do-able 1-1. A convincing win against the Pistons and a poor showing against the Bobcats. With a team that is somewhat reliant on the 3pt game, it is difficult to win when you shoot 20 threes and only make five, while the other team shoots 13 and makes seven. Statistically, the Warriors dominated almost every category including 25 fast break points and eight steals. But they gave up 38 points in the first quarter and did not take [...]

Magic (117) – Warriors (109) Dwight Howard broke Wilt Chamberlain’s record of free throws in a game without actually trying. The “hack-a-Shaq” routine became common throughout the league, once it was widely known that Shaq couldn’t be relied on in the end to make free throws to seal the deal. Howard, similarly has this same reputation. Though he connected on 21 of 39 free throws, his free throws are usually up and down depending on the game. Lucky for the Magic, he was on last night. As for the night, Howard finished the night with 45 points and 23 rebounds. [...]

Well, limited big men just got more limited. Kwame Brown was diagnosed with a torn pectoralis major, the chest muscle that attaches to the right shoulder. He had hurt it in the fourth quarter during the outstanding win against the Miami Heat. His surgery should be soon and he’ll be out for three months. With a shorten season, this could hurt the Warriors a big time. Andris Beidrins was already out, but his return now maybe rushed with the lack of big men. Brown was the best interior defense and provided the Warriors with a defensive presence that was needed. [...]

Wow. By far, last night’s game was pretty good. I mean real good. The crowd was great. People started standing with five minutes left in the fourth quarter and never sat down again. It was a good 45 minutes of standing, cheering, jeering and screaming. The Miami Heat have sustain as one of the most hated teams in the NBA and anytime anyone beats them (as the Warriors cane back from 17 points down to overtake them in OT with an impressive, 111-106 win) the feeling is great! It’s a marquee game, even if its against a lesser opponent. And [...]

Back to back games are going to be rough, even if you’re a young team. But the Warriors did come out and play. Coming in from LA the night of/morning of, the Warriors were bound to be tired. And if they were, they didn’t show it. The game was a great defensive battle until the fourth, when the offense decided to catch up with the D. Statistically, the Warriors did ok. They shot 41% from the field, hit 36% from the three while hitting 92% (22 of 24) of their free throws. But, they did lose the battle of the [...]
