So how much do you discount a win like this because of the competition? The Wizards have won a grand total of 1 game on the road this year, and for a while it looked like they might pick up #2 in Oakland. But the Warriors did a good job of taking control about half way through the final period, and even looked like a decent team while they did it.

Ellis looked great tonight with 37, 7, and 12, and his 360 layup was truly a thing of beauty. David Lee also brought it with a season-high 33 points to go along with 12 rebounds, and Ekpe played big minutes once against and even managed to snag a very respectable 7 boards.

Curry’s night was mixed, as he was hampered by fouls — yet again — and had just 4 assists to 5 turnovers. The bench was similarly unimpressive, providing just 11 points and only 48 minutes to spell the starters.

Now the competition gets tough again, starting on the road against the Thunder on Tuesday. The Warriors have put a nice little run together against two inferior teams, so once again we get to see if they can build off this sort of momentum and keep it up against quality teams.

Well, that had to feel good! The Warriors blew the doors off the joint in the first half, scoring a league-high 84 points before the break. Four starters broke the 20 point barrier, and both members of the starting backcourt were over +40 on the +/-. They shot over 60% from the field, and just a shade below that from three.

Sure, it’s the Raptors, and yeah they ran the score up there a bit by keeping the starters in with a nearly 50-point lead, but it was nice to see that this team can still put the ball in the basket. I just wish that they’d try to play this way more often this year — sure, you aren’t going to win championships by outscoring the opposition, but these Warriors aren’t going to win with defense and rebounding (the one stat they lost on Friday night) either and at least this style is a lot more fun to watch.

Another dreadful defensive performance in a season packed with them. The Warriors gave up 30+ points in all four quarters, and unlike in the season opener they weren’t able to match the Rockets on the scoring front.

A career high in points for Dorell Wright to go along with 5 rebounds and 6 assists, but that was about it in terms of good offensive performances. Curry continues to regress with a volume shooting night to go with 6 assists and 4 turnovers, while Monta had a similarly underwhelming game with only 15 points. Udoh got major minutes again in Biedrins’ absence, and did ok with 9 points on 4-7 shooting and 5 rebounds. The rebounding numbers are still light, but are up from the previously disastrous levels.

So the road trip mercifully ends, as the Warriors went 0-4 and are now 9-28 on the road this season. But hey, the Warriors are now tied in the loss column for the 9th pick in the draft!

Another game, another convincing loss — though this was one closer than I expected. As Adam Lauridsen notes, at least the Warriors kept things close enough to avoid garbage time and keep the Spurs starters on the floor through the end of the game.

Good to see Udoh step up his rebounding game, with 7 boards in a season-high 38 minutes. He also led the team in scoring with 15 — and from the sound of it (I didn’t watch) he actually showed off some nice moves.

Other than that though, the box score doesn’t provide much to get excited about, and in the team stats the Warriors were once again outshot, outassisted, and killed in the paint. Though I do need to give them credit for winning the rebounding battle, with boards well-distributed throughout the team.

But the end result was a loss, and now the 30-41 Warriors head to Houston to finish up the road trip. And looking at the remaining schedule, 3-8 does not seem out of the question for the rest of the season.

Thank goodnesss for March Madness!

Now much to say about this one: The Warriors got smashed from the get-go and never really stood a chance — and capped things off with perhaps their worst 4th quarter of the season.

Not even much to get excited about on an individual level. Udoh was perhaps the bright spot as he had a team-high -1 in 29 minutes, though his atrocious rebounding continues as he only grabbed a single board in that span. Of the others we’re watching here in the final weeks of the season Curry had a so-so game 11 points, 6 assists, and 6 rebounds, and a -8 that was decent compared to the rest of the team.

On the other hand, Thornton was a mess with a team-low -27 to go with 9 points and 4 boards — and no assists. Williams was a bit better at only -11, but not by much.

And hey, Jeff Adrien got off the bench! He matched Udoh’s rebounding total and got to the line 4 times in only 3 minutes. Can we please just play him a bit more to see if there’s anything there?

All in all, another forgettable road performance in a season that is fast becoming unwatchable — especially when there’s good basketball on other channels.

The Suns make it a perfect sweep on the season, winning the 4th and final matchup of the season. The Warriors started each half flat, and despite a nice offensive performance from Dorrell Wright they never really stood a chance. Now it’s on to Texas, where things definitely aren’t going to get any easier…

The Warriors blow a huge first half lead, not to mention a smaller lead in the 4th quarter. And oh yeah, the “future” of the franchise gets chained to the bench for most of the 4th and plays horribly when he gets in there. Fun!

In some ways, I’m glad that things are beginning to implode. Despite my pre-All Star break optimism (seriously, what was I thinking), the past few weeks of games have once again underscored how flawed this team is. If a late-season nose-dive is what it will take to send Smart, Riley, and Rowell packing, then so be it. The absolute worst thing that could happen would be for the Warriors to put a nice little meaningless run together here at the end and enter the offseason thinking that with a bit more luck they’ll be just fine. Because they won’t be.

Thankfully, I don’t think we’re going to have that problem — the Warriors next play the Suns at home, then a tough Texas roadie through Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston. I have a hard time imagining how they could beat any of them, which will push them over 40 losses — with plenty more likely to come…

Wow, what an ugly game. The Warriors got blitzed from the get-go and played incredibly awful defense throughout. The 10-point margin is hardly indicative of how bad they looked — it was just a late run by the scrubs that made it close (a run that was halted by an Acie Law brick on an open 3 that would have cut the margin to 7).

The rebounding was terrible one again, as the Warriors lost the boards battle 46-24 (no Warrior had more than 4). They also got destroyed in the paint, losing that battle by 28 as Dalembert had a career high.

Bright spots? Al Thornton had a solid outing, and looked unstoppable at times on his way to 23 points and a team-high +25. Ekpe also had a decent offensive turn, getting to double-digits at 10 points (but with a typically underwhelming single rebound).

But all-in-all this was yet another indictment of Smart. Part of being coach means having your team ready to play — especially in a back-to-back against a supposedly inferior opponent — and the Warriors were at the worst at the start of each half. Definitely looking forward to playing the coaching replacement game in a few more weeks…

Despite a somewhat shaky first half, this is the first time in a while where the Warriors won a game they’re supposed to win in the way that they’re supposed to. No last-second shot or overtime needed; the Warriors won going away and even got to enjoy being on the positive side of garbage time for the first time in a long time. They won every quarter, and held the T-Wolves to just 77 points.

The bigs deserve most of the credit in this one, as they frustrated Kevin Love and his frontline friends on the way to a +41 between Lee, Biedrins, Udoh, and Amundson. They won the rebounding battle against a team that bested them by 21 on that stat in their last meeting, and fueled the Warriors big turnover advantage by making Darko cough up the ball and generating 10 blocks (5 of those for Udoh). And, of course, ending Love’s double-double streak is a nice trophy achievement — one that should go in Lee’s case.

Another thing that stood out about this game was how ugly it was during the Warriors’ run over the 3rd and 4th quarters. It had a slow, plodding pace with a ton of whistles, but for once the Dubs were the beneficiary of ugly ball as they completely flummoxed the Timberwolves’ offense and got plenty on their own offensive end to pull away.

So, good to see a game play out the way it was supposed to, as the Warriors have been a bit lazy about playing up/down to their level of competition this year. But to win consistently you need to beat up on the teams you should, then steal a few against those above you. This was a nice step in that direction — and tonight we’ll see if they can keep it up with a road game against the Kings.

Exciting win for the Warriors, overcoming a huge deficit behind lights-out 3-point shooting. While you can’t count on making 21 3-pointers every game, it sure is enjoyable when it happens.

What stands out the most to me are the assist totals — 35 assists, 12 above their season average. Curry had 12, Monta had 11, and David Lee dished out 9. That’s a mark of great ball movement, and suggests that their great shooting was more than just a lucky hot streak.

Throw in an 18-point advantage on points off turnovers, and it was enough to overcome a typically lax rebounding effort (not to mention bad 3-point defense — we very easily could have been focusing on the Magic’s hot shooting from deep).

All in all, a fun win that cleans out a bit of the bad taste from the road trip. They’ll need to string together a few more of these sorts of performances against Magic-level teams in order to change the current verdict on the season, but for now we can at least savor a good win.
