Well, that was quite the wasted opportunity. The Warriors overcome a mostly awful night and still had a chance to win at the end. But Monta bricked a gift of a look, leading to a tough loss in terms of both the game and his trade value.

Of course, if they hadn’t dug themselves into a 15 point hole with less than 8 minutes left, their impressive run over the closing minutes could have made the difference.

So I guess in terms of positives we can appreciate the contributions of both Carney and Radmanovic off the bench, and the fact that Lee didn’t have the worst +/- of the night for the first game in a while (Amundson barely edged him).

But other than that, this was a weak performance in a very winnable game. In fact, I’m starting to wonder if Mike Singletary has taken over this team: the offense is uncreative, the players make stupid mental errors constantly, and the staff never outcoaches their counterpart (and regularly gets pwn3ed on that front). As the Kawakami’s of the world will (rightly) note, the Warriors can’t blame injuries when they lose to a team that has clearly outdone them on that front.

No excuses: the Warriors should have won this game. And the more they miss these opportunities, the more the case for blowing up both the roster and the coaching staff is being made.

Postscript: I guess the hype about Udoh was just that, hype. A DNP-CD on a night where Biedrins was out and Amundson was basically in foul trouble from the opening tip? I get that the Blazers represent a relatively small matchup, but to not even make it off the bench makes you wonder just how ready this guy actually is.

    Was there actually even any hype on Udoh outside of Warrior’s PR staff and Fitzgerald? Dude has managed 1 RB in three games even if those games were limited minutes. Disaster of a pick that just about everyone besides the Warriors could see coming. I am also leaning towards blowing the whole thing up. Smart seems like a nice guy but this staff is just not cutting it. I wouldn’t even mind seeing a mid-season blow up because there is no way this team makes the playoffs let alone make a playoff push into the later rounds.

      I saw Udoh play in the tournament and thought he looked awesome. Best player on the court for Baylor, and played really big. I don’t take too much from his on-court performance so far since it’s been so sporadic; I missed the first two garbage time appearances, but when he played the other night they were keeping him in the high post the whole time. Hard to grab rebounds when you’re 15 feet away when the shot goes up. So I still have hope, but would like to at least see him get some extended run to get in a rhythm before closing the book on him.
