I mercifully didn’t watch this one, as work and a peek at the hopefully-future-49ers-coach’s current team interceded. But seems like a similar story to the Heat game, albeit with fewer phantom fouls and more opponent 3′s.

Surprisingly, on first glance the net stats don’t look too bad — the Warriors won the rebounding battle by one, and shockingly outscored the Magic by 14 in points in the paint. But the Magic made 15 3′s and 9 more foul shots, while shooting a significantly higher percentage, leading to the 20 point margin.

Now the Warriors head down to New Orleans to face a solid Hornets team on Wednesday. Let’s hope that Lee returns, as they’ll need a spark to help them get over the last-game-on-the-trip doldrums that always seems to hit this team after a week on the road.

The Warriors played a perfect first half: on fire from 3, freely running the court, knocking down buzzer beaters — but I think we all knew it was too good to last.

In the second half, the game regressed to the mean and the Warriors just looked awful. Miami clamped down on D and stiffled any flow left over from the first half, the Warriors’ turnover woes returned, Dwayne Wade started drawing fouls for getting breathed on while tomahawk chops on Ellis’ arms went uncalled, and the shots that went in during the first 24 minutes most certainly did not in the second. The Warriors scored less in the second half total than they did in either of the first two quarters.

It’s easy to blame the officiating, and they certainly deserve a lot of scorn — looking at the net stats above, the number that blares out is the -37 (!!!) on net free throw attempts. But Miami deserves credit for dictating the tempo in the second half, for driving and creating contact while the Warriors settled for jumpers, and for exerting tremendous energy on defense that was just as responsible for the Warriors’ scoring woes as the whistles were.

So what can the Warriors take out of this? First, if they play their game — and last night proves that their game is most certainly not a half-court motion offensive game — they can keep up with anyone. Who knows: if they weren’t on the back end of a back-to-back, maybe they would have had enough energy to keep it up just a bit longer and carry a big enough lead into the 4th to hang on.

Second, Dorell Wright has truly turned a corner. He’s been much more aggressive of late, and I think that really helps his outside shot as he’s able to do other things to get himself going if he’s missing from deep early. Before, his only response seemed to be to keep on firing from 3 or disappear completely.

Now they need to put it together for a full game against a quality opponent. Next up is the Magic on Monday, so let’s see if the Warriors can take the positive (perfect first half!) from this game instead of the negative (epic second half collapse!). Here’s where the reportedly awesome team chemistry could make a big difference…

Well, that was ugly! But a win is a win is a win, and with a date in Miami tomorrow night against the Heat you can be sure that the Warriors will take it.

The defensive rebounding in the 4th quarter was just atrocious; hard to say you deserve to win when you give up 3 defensive rebounds off free throws in the final 12 minutes.

Have to give credit to the backcourt in this one — Curry’s four made 3′s were all big, and Monta got his scoring touch back despite a less-than-efficient 11-23 from the field. David Lee had a quiet line with 8 and 8, but came up with a lot of big rebounds in the closing minutes.

I usually don’t like to blame officiating, but some of the calls in this game were just atrocious. Amundson got destroyed on a layup with no call, that Monta offensive foul after he was clearly held was brutal, and that Diaw pass-to-himself that wasn’t called was insane — though thankfully someone on the crew noticed and gave the Warriors a makeup call on the out of bounds.

And as for my Stephen Jackson key to the game in the preview? My dream came true — with that ugly shot at the end, he arguably lost the game for the Bobcats. Happy New Year!

The Warriors played a 4pm game after flying across the country and…looked like a team playing a 4pm game after flying across the country.

Well, aside from Dorrell Wright, that is. Dude might finally be putting it together, pairing more aggression with his previously shown ability to get open and knock down 3′s. If he can show the same mindset on a night when the Warriors big 3 do better than 13-38, we could finally have the semblance of a hard-to-stop offense.

But that didn’t happen last night, and despite holding their own on the boards, the Warriors shooting cooled off, they got beat in the paint, and their assist numbers were way down from the past few games (though Curry had an impressive 12 dimes against 3 turnovers in only 29 minutes).

Now the Warriors head to Charlotte, where Curry will get a hero’s welcome but Stephen Jackson will be lying in wait to torment us. Let’s hope Curry and Ellis are feeling a bit better (ankles/flu and ankle, respectively) — this is the easiest game on the trip, and one they have to have in order to hang in there if they hope to use the upcoming January/February stretch to make a run back to respectability.

It is officially a winning streak! Last night’s game was not the prettiest one out there but a win is a win is a win. Watching the second half it almost looked as if both teams were running in slow motion and were not all that interested in winning. The Warrior’s missed way too many easy shots had plenty of sloppy turnovers and the 76ers looked like no one knew which play they were supposed to run.

David Lee outplayed Elton Brand, even with missing a few easy ones (21 & 16 +15 versus 16 & 16 -16) or 0 and -1 in respect to the team +/-. I was personally not feeling any regrets about Brand not being in a The City uniform. Any max big should be getting 15 & 15 on the Warrior’s with their eye’s closed. Add that to fact that Brand was a monster on the boards in the first half but seemed to disappear in the second half and you don’t have a “Winner.”

Jrue Holliday on the other hand played really well and looked fantastic. As Fitz pointed out about a dozen times he looks like a leader out on the court. Did he outplay Curry in this game? Probably but maybe not as much as their point and assist totals will lead you to believe. Holliday went for 23/11 while Curry sported 17/8 while their +/- versus the team were similar +2 versus +3. Holliday certainly has the appearance of having the higher ceiling, but for some reason I just picture him languishing on a bad team not making the other players around him better, where as Curry just seems to scream Playoff PG who makes his team mates better. I have no stats to back this up and it may not even be true, but that is my impression early in their careers.

Monta had an off night but when 20 points scored on 8-19 is an off night I will take it. More importantly maybe was his perfect night, 4-4, from the stripe. Over the last 4 games his FT% has been much better. Hopefully he is turning that corner. Monta also had 12 assists, most if not all of which were very legitimate assists. On a night when his shooting touch was a little off he got his team mates the ball. “He has had at least seven assists in four straight games, a first in his career.”

Udoh showed a few flashes and Admundson seemed to miss shots I could have made.

Who have I left out? Oh yeah D-Wright had a decent game. 25 points 5-7 from behind the arc, 4 assists with 0 TOs, the dude was a beast and really led the 3rd quarter pull away. Overall the Warriors were electric behind the arc going a combined 15-23, 65%. It is pretty easy to win games when you are hitting that many 3s.

Holidays and the new baby took up more time than I expected this weekend, so this recap will be short in the interest of getting it up before tonight’s game. Here’s the quick version:

Huge game from Monta, and doing it on national television will help his All-Star chances/trade value; nice return for Curry on the assists-to-turnover front, and a ton of his missed shots were in-and-out so he should get his stroke back soon; nice to see Lee making his jumper consistently; Udoh continues to impress though it would be nice to see him grab a few more boards; speaking of which, how did they get out-rebounded yet still win this game? Ah yes, they outscored them by 14 on fast break points; who knew this team could actually run?

Now, can they keep up the momentum from this TWO GAME WINNING STREAK?

Well, how about that! VladRad makes up for A LOT with that deep bomb to tie the game (not to mention 13 4th quarter points), and it was enough to forget that the Warriors gave up two monster runs to a horrible Kings team.

For the first time, they were able to fully climb their way out of a deep hole of their own making. Sure, the game shouldn’t have been this close, but I think Lauridsen put it best: “Meeting exceptionally modest expectations is still better than collapsing below them.”

I’m wondering if Smart started reading Feltbot, as for the second straight game the Warriors had 31 fast break points. That made up for getting beat on the glass, as the Kings managed to break into triple digits on field goal attempts — but only hit 39%.

Monta’s efficiency was way down but he still carried the scoring load for the team, and his circus shot near the end of overtime was one of his all-time best. Reggie Williams also regained his touch, scoring 24 points and almost making us forget his 1-3 from the line in the closing seconds of regulation.

The Cousins-Udoh matchup I was looking forward to didn’t turn into much: Cousins struggled from the field but was still a beast on the glass. Udoh cooled off from last night and didn’t score a point (didn’t even take a shot), and it’s pretty clear that he was winded by the end of his run (as any human being would be after playing nearly 50 NBA minutes in 26 hours after logging just 8 in the previous 8 months). While Udoh’s -9 was the worst on the squad, I still like his activity and great hands. Plus, he’s avoiding something that has plagued every rookie Warriors big man that I can remember: constant fouls (and it’s not like he’s avoiding physical contact).

So now the Warriors get a few days off before their Christmas night matchup against the Trail Blazers (think the NBA schedulers wish they could have this one back?). By all accounts Curry should be back, and hopefully we’ll see Biedrins back on the court as well. Maybe then we can get the minutes smoothed out a bit more — Law backing up Curry, Reggie subbing for Monta but still providing some scoring punch, Amundson down to the low-minute energy guy that he should be (how about his 6 fouls in 13 minutes tonight?), and maybe even some VladRad and Carney at the 3 to get Wright down to about 30 minutes a night.

But for now, good to get a win that the Warriors HAD to have. It was more stressful/exciting than it should have been, but at this point in the season, with postseason chances slipping away with every turnover (seriously, can anyone catch an interior pass on this team?), I’ll take it.

Another wasted opportunity, as Monta plays his ass off to score 44 points (on 15-20 shooting!) and Udoh provides inspiring play off the bench in the loss. The Warriors made a nice run late to tie the game at 96, but after that the wheels fell off: the Rockets made the big plays at the end, while the Warriors scuffled when it really mattered (and Radmonovic’s flagrant? Oy…).

Wright was awful, Law went 0-5 from deep, and Amundson was ineffective starting in place of Biedrins.

But at least we got something to get excited about, as Udoh provided 25 quality minutes and led the team with a +9. The team still sucks of course, and the playoff hopes are quickly fading with each late-game turnover. But at least we have something to look forward to watching in the next game, as he was active and had a couple of jaw-dropping plays (especially that dunk/block sequence in the 4th).

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.

The Warriors got a much needed win last night thanks to the T-wolves which handed the Warriors their last win. So thanks Minnesota. But in all honesty the Warriors should beat Minnesota every time they play and either Monta or Curry is on the court. The Monta-Curry (Williams last night) duo is just so much better than Minnesota’s backcourt. If you are starting Luke Ridnour you are not a very good team. This is still shocking reminder that Minnesota took two point guards in the 2009 draft and have nothing to show for it.

Admunson was a force off the bench and sported an eye-popping +22. But if you watched the game last night you did not need to see that stat to know he was one of the major reasons they Warriors were able to pull away late. And pull away late on the back end of the B2B even if it was at home. This smelled like a trap game so it was great to see them pull it off.

Props obviously have to go to Monta for scoring 30+ points and playing all 48 minutes. Reggie Williams had another good game, including a monster heart stopping dunk. I swear I think he is going to come up short and brick those high flying dunks every time.

David Lee had another double-double 10-11, but was a pathetic -13. I am not sure I believe he is all the way back to 100% yet. At least let’s hope that is the reason otherwise this is going to be a long half a decade paying his salary. But props to him and the rest of the big men for holding Love and Beasley in check.
