It looked like we were sure to have a repeat of the last matchup between these two teams: The Hornets got off to a blistering start, opening a double-digit first quarter lead behind 60+% shooting. But something happened on the way to the blowout: The Warriors bench delivered!

Led by Radmonovic, and with solid performances by Lin and Udoh, they closed the gap from 15 to 6 before the starters returned — when Monta’s hot hand from deep helped them finish the comeback. A dominant second half later (the Hornets scored 32 in the opening quarter, and just 36 in the final two), and the Warriors won this one going away.

Solid performances all around — foul trouble limited Monta and Curry’s minutes, but Monta still led all scores with 21, while Curry had another nice PG game with 8 assists. Lee’s rebounding numbers were down sharply tonight, but he still chipped in 16 points and did a decent job defending West. And Wright was solid as usual, with 16 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists.

Now the Warriors face a tight turnaround with a game tonight against Utah, but at least they’ll be taking two good wins against solid competition with them. The team has been legitimately better since the Bobcats debacle, and while they won’t be getting to .500 by the All-Star break, if they could stay hot they could definitely come close.

Stat of the night: 2 offense rebounds for the Thunder.

Runner up stat of the night: only 59 field goals in the game for the Thunder. (Sure, part of that is their 28 FTAs, but it’s also rebounding and a lack of turnovers for the Warriors, not to mention avoiding and-1′s.)

There’s the whole back-to-back thing, but the Thunder is still a damn good team with two great players — and the Warriors did a number on them tonight. And if they had shot worth a damn it would have been a blowout.

It was great to see Monta get back in the groove with a team-high 33 points, but to me there were two performances that stood above him in terms of team need. The first was David Lee’s 23 points and 19 rebounds — someone must have been reading TK last night! And second, Stephen Curry looked like a true point guard tonight with 13 assists — several of them spectacular — and no turnovers to go with his 23 points.

Dorell Wright was flat tonight offensively — he’s the one I have in mind when I think of the Warriors missing out on a blowout due to missed shots — but he did a great job defending Durant and led the team with a +18 (while Durant had a team-low -11). Udoh was scoreless in 27 minutes, but he continued to play strong defense and grabbed 4 offensive rebounds while playing meaningful crunch-time minutes.

So all in all a quality win against a quality opponent. Nice bounce-back from the Phoenix debacle (part 2!), and hopefully something they can build on as they close out their home stretch with games against New Orleans, Boston, and Atlanta (sandwiched around a game at Utah).

Another ugly loss to the Suns, as the Warriors decided to repeat their Monday performance and make sure this game was out of reach by the end of the first quarter.

Only silver lining was extended run for Ekpe Udoh (and, to a lesser extent, Brandan Wright), who took advantage of the extended garbage time to post career highs of 16 points and 7 rebounds in 30 minutes — and was the only positive Warrior at +1.

But that was about it, and as this season continues to slip out of reach the need to do something drastic to shake up the roster is becoming more and more apparent.

Wow that was a chaotic end to a crappy 4th quarter by both teams. Most of the postgame talk surrounded the lack of a timeout call by George Karl and the lack of a touch by Carmello on the final play of the game that ended in an awkward miss by Nene. That was Nene’s only miss of the game and he finished with 17 points.

QUOTABLE: “It was so weird the way the game ended. I didn’t know what was going on. We were all looking like, ‘What’s going on right now?’ because when Nene shot the ball the horn went off. I didn’t know what was going on. I’m happy he took the shot, a step-back or whatever he was doing, instead of one of their other weapons.”
– Warriors forward Dorell Wright, who finished two assists shy of a triple-double, on the Nuggets not calling a timeout in the final seconds.

On the Warrior’s end, Monta had a game high 37 points including 4-7 from behind the arc. He did finish with a -5 though it felt like the team was playing better when he was out there on the court. Curry on the other hand got into major foul trouble in the 3rd quarter which allowed for some very productive minutes from Reggie Williams. Williams looked like the best player on the court at times with 18 points, 6 assists and 4-4 from 3 point land. Udoh’s stat line is not impressive but he gave some good defensive energy minutes once again and should hurdle Radmanovic on the depth chart soon as the Radman has cooled off in a considerable way. Dorell Wright may have been player of the game with 23 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists and 0 turnovers, if not for shooting pretty poorly from downtown (4-11). Biedrins had a solid game, at time dominating the boards and David Lee performed well and ended with a good stat line and +/- even if I didn’t notice him all that much during the game.

Rick Berry sat in with Fitz and St. Jean for half of the 3rd Quarter and was his usual feisty self. He called out bad shots, bad whistles, bad defense all within earshot of the benches, but he was right each time. It was a nice treat to have a more critical voice on the broadcast. His best line of the night might have been “How does he live with himself?” when discussing Biedrins’s awful free throw percentage.

Overall a good win after a lousy start and a lousy finish. There was a quarter or so when the Warriors looked flat out dominate and clicking on all cylinders, if you disregard one of their cylinders (Curry) on the bench with foul trouble. TK mentions in his post-game that the Warriors looked better with one of Monta or Curry on the floor then they did with both of them on the floor together. I have to say I agree, but I hope it was a one game aberration and not the doomsday scenario he alludes to. Does anyone else out there in Warrior’s and Whatever land feel that one of the has to go rather than being willing to let one of them go?

Well, so much for momentum. The Warriors get blitzed in the first quarter, and despite modest improvements the rest of the way they just weren’t able to overcome the disastrous start. They got as close as 5 in the closing minutes, but then Phoenix bombed in 3 deep shots to put the game away (while the Warriors missed their corresponding outside shots).

3-point shooting, one of the Warriors’ biggest strengths this season, really failed them tonight as they went 2-18 — and never adjusted. Defense was the biggest problem though, as Lee and Biedrins had team lows of -22 and -16, respectively — though all the starters were double digit negative on that stat. Monta was a volume shooter at 5-17 (though he picked up 12(!) rebounds), Curry was 0-6 from three, and Dorell Wright did a Monta impression at 3-13.

Silver linings? I guess you could point to solid bench contributions from Udoh (team-high +13) and Reggie Williams (19 sorely needed points).

But, ultimately, the team just wasn’t ready to play in a game they needed to win. And as this “easy” stretch of the schedule starts to come to a close, the future of this season is starting to look fairly bleak.

Finally, a quality win against top-notch competition. The Warriors get 56 points (and 13 assists) from their starting backcourt, including 22 of their 28 fourth quarter points.

Just look at all that green in the net stats above — outside of a small deficit in rebounds and assists, the Warriors won every statistical category. Perhaps most impressive was the +9 on turnovers, as the Warriors only coughed the ball up 7 times. Curry’s 8 assists to 2 turnovers deserves a mention in that context.

The overall team defensive effort was outstanding, as it wasn’t an accident that Rose had 9 turnovers. Also good to see that the Warriors took advantage of the Bulls’ bench, as 4 of their reserves were double-digit negative on +/-.

Speaking of +/-, check out Radmonovic’s line: 20 minutes, zero points, 3 rebounds, but a team-high +23. I didn’t watch the whole game, but he must be creating a lot of space for the guards to get inside by drawing his man outside. Hell of a weapon, and what a turnaround from the early part of the season.

I said before the game that the Warriors needed to start beating good teams at home, and tonight they delivered. Credit where credit is due — and let’s hope this positive result gives them the incentive they need to keep up the defensive intensity when Phoenix and Denver come to town this week.

A win is a win, but that one was not pretty. Immediately after the game I was pissed but Christian and Steinmetz both convinced me that this was not as bad as it looked. It is a game that last year’s Warriors would have lost trailing at home for as much as they did. Steinmetz argued that the Bucks will do this to teams and although they do not have a ton of wins they play teams quite hard and can make teams look ugly. That being said a game this close at home against a team on the second half of the back to back without one of their best players (Bogut) should not go to the last 11 seconds. The box score was ugly. Monta shot under 50% on high volume shooting (although he had a 0 +/- Ratio so he did not make the team worse </snark>). The Warriors only reached the stripe 13 times, which was one more than the Bucks! Warrior’s lost the rebound battle by 13, gave up 20! OREB and took 13 fewer shots. Curry had 7 turnovers and only 5 assists. I am starting to get really worried about Curry’s turnovers. I know we discussed it here on the blog back in pre-season, but I expected things to get better as the season went along and it may even be getting worse. The pop-psychologist in me says he is having confidence issues. I am still not convinced he is a point guard and if he isn’t one of he or Monta has to go. Maybe throw in Brandan “DNP-Coach’s Decision” Wright. On the bright side Jennings did not score 55 nor did an ex-Warrior beat them on a last minute shot, although Maggette was doing his best to make the latter happen. I like Mbah A Moute’s pro game. I kinda saw it coming as a Pac-10 hoops fan (let’s not talk about the last few years) but I thought it would be as more of a role player than a guy logging 40 minutes.

Well, how ’bout that? The Warriors actually won a game with defense — and made it look easy.

With Monta clearly off his game (come to think of it, he hasn’t really been the same since he rolled his ankle — hopefully the 3 days off will help him pull things back together), the rest of the team really stepped up and helped them end their 4-game skid.

Curry was of course the top performer last night, but we also have to mention Biedrins’ second straight double-double (his first such streak since January of 2009), solid games from Lee and D. Wright, and Reggie Williams coming up big off the bench. And Udoh bounced back nicely from a rough game with 21 quality minutes (4 points and 5 rebounds).

Sure, Utah was missing Deron Williams, and sure, they’ve been on a downturn lately, but they’re still talented and well-coached, so it’s not like the Warriors beat the Timberwolves last night. And to do it with very little from Monta, with a huge bench contribution down the stretch, and after a demoralizing loss to the Bobcats, you really do need to give Smart some credit for having the team ready to play and for making adjustments throughout the game. Perhaps the best bounce-back performance of the season for a Warrior!

The gut impact of this game was bad enough. Blown 16 point lead? Stephen effing Jackson of all people ties the game with a banked 3 at the end of regulation?

But then you read what Adam Lauridson has to say breaking down everything that led to this loss, and it’s enough to make you want to throw up. A game like last night just makes you feel hopeless that this team will ever be able to turn a corner.

I don’t have too much else to say, except to note that Monta probably sealed the coffin on his All Star chances with that 6-24 night. That thought sure was fun while it lasted.

As the season continues to slip away, it’s hard not to think ahead and start rooting for this team to tank. They’re currently looking at the 11th pick, and while we can hope that a Lacob-run front office will be smarter about drafting, the fact remains that this team’s history gives us very little hope when it comes to a pick in that range.

Now, instead of being a buyer before the trade deadline, I’m wondering if the team should look to offload talent in return for draft picks, high-upside young players, and cap relief. Then they can start fresh with a new coach and GM — could it be any worse than what we’ve seen the past few years? And after last night, does anyone think this team still has a chance to do anything worthwhile this season?

62.8%. That’s what the Hornets shot from the field, and you’re just not going to win games with that kind of defense. The Warriors shot over 50% and they still never had a chance after their disastrous first quarter.

Decent offensive games from most of the starters, and Curry and Wright were at least able to come close to even on the +/- (Wright in particular is impressive at -1 in 42 minutes — what the hell happened the 6 minutes when he was off the court?). But in a perfect example of how much better of a point guard they have, Paul had 17 assists and 6 turnovers while Curry had 6 and 5.

Still, you just can’t overlook the defense. I didn’t watch the game, but from all I’ve read it sounds like Chris Paul just got absolutely everything he wanted as a facilitator. Biedrins was once again a complete non-factor — hard to disagree with Feltbot’s assertion that he essentially makes the Warriors play 4 on 5 when he’s on the court these days, leading to more turnovers since no one can get open — and with the season slipping away I hope that Smart will at least start giving Udoh more minutes at the 5. Might as well see what we have there.

At this point, it’s hard to escape the conclusion that the Warriors are just not good enough to move out of the lower third of the league as currently constructed, largely because of their defense. And because they’re not completely awful, they’ll likely end up with another late-lottery pick that will hardly be a difference maker.

I’m starting to think that blowing things up is the way to go…
