First 34 minutes: Yaaaaaaay!

Last 14 minutes: Boooooooooo.

Similar to the Dallas game, the Warriors hung tight against a quality opponent on the road, only to see things fall apart at the end. The night was filled with half full/half empty moments: Reggie started on fire and carried the team in the first quarter, but provided little after that; Lee had a solid rebounding night and got to the line 14 times, but went only 3-15 from the field; Biedrins was the only plus player for the night and was strong on the glass yet again, but still struggled offensively on his way to only 8 points.

And dear lord the bench is terrible. Also, anyone else starting to wonder if Brandon Wright is pulling an Al Harrington with his back?

At least the brutal stretch is over — and now there are no more excuses.

The Warriors hung in this one for a while, but a dominant 3rd quarter behind LeBron blew things open and ended any hopes of an upset. It was obvious early on that the Warriors were going to have trouble scoring with Curry out, and eventually they just hit the wall. And, sadly, we didn’t even really get to see much of Udoh (though he did get to make his debut in garbage time).

The stats for this one are straight up ugly. The plus-minus numbers for the starters are just brutal, and the team got killed on the glass, killed in the paint, and killed on fast break points. Not exactly a winning formula!

Now the Warriors head to Utah for the final game of this brutal stretch (check the newly updated schedule page, which is now being powered by the database). While the schedule certainly explains this losing streak, it’s unfortunate that this team hasn’t been able to steal any of these games (and really only looked competitive in the Dallas and Phoenix games). Oh well — at least they have the Timberwolves coming up on Tuesday…

As noted in the preview, this was an unsurprising loss. Still, it was unfortunate they couldn’t put up a stronger fight given the contribution from Reggie Williams off the bench (a sign of things to come?). After closing within a few points late in the second, the Spurs proved themselves the better team by running the margin up to 10 before half time. After that, they never looked back.

With 6 players in double-digits, the Spurs ultimately made things look pretty easy. The Warriors lost Curry early to a re-aggravated ankle (though he still managed a -15 in only 10 minutes), and with Monta going 7-24 there was never really a path to victory.

Aside from Reggie, the Warriors got one of their better recent games from David Lee, and Amundson again provided quality minutes off the bench. It’s nice to see the Warriors with more combination options up front (soon to get even better with Udoh’s return tonight), though also unfortunate that Biedrins is making himself so easy to pull off the court. Hell, Amundson has seemed like the better scoring option since he’s come back.

The roadie is now mercifully over, and only two games left in the murder stretch. With the Warriors having lost 10 of 11, a softer stretch in the schedule can’t come soon enough.

The scene: Warriors trailing by 4 with just over a minute left. They haven’t gotten a defensive stop in the final minutes, and need one desperately on this trip. An alley-oop pass goes up to a wide open Mahinmi — and he misses it! Curry streaks down the court with the ball and…turns it over.

For a team like the Warriors to beat a team like the Mavericks, they need to be at the top of their game. They don’t need to be perfect, but they can’t make stupid mistakes in key game situations. The Warriors failed that test tonight in a game where they had a chance to pull off the much-needed upset on the road, leaving us with an entertaining game but nothing to show for it in the end.

Aside from the sloppy play, there was a lot to like in this game: Amundson provided a nice shot in the arm off the bench, Lee had a nice bounce-back from his fourth quarter benching in Oklahoma City, and Dorell Wright had a double-double on the way to a solid overall game.

But, ultimately, the bench provided little beyond Amundson and a few nice Radmanovic bombs (and jeez, Reggie Williams is starting to STINK), and the Mavericks made the plays at the end while the Warriors’ sloppiness sealed their fate. And now they go to San Antonio tomorrow night after four of the five starters played 40+ minutes. Looking like an 0-for road trip for sure at this point…

P.S. Can someone teach these assholes how to shoot free throws?

Annnnnnnnnnnd…….the Warriors dig themselves a massive first quarter hole, so despite one of their best fourth quarters in forever (and a huge night from Curry) they still lose. David Lee’s line in particular is super ugly — not sure if his elbow is still hurting, but if you’re making $13 million a year you have GOT to get to the free throw line at least once.

Now it’s on to Dallas and San Antonio — fun!

The Warriors come away with a sorely needed victory, riding David Lee’s enthusiasm and Dorell Wright’s hot hand to a win over the lowly T-wolves. Boy, it’s nice to see a new green tick on the left for the first time in a while!

As far as the formula for victory, on first glance this one is a bit of a head scratcher as the Warriors were out-rebounded 55-32, were out-shot from the line 31-17, and gave up 22 and 21 to Kevin Love. But what they did do was shoot over 50% while holding the T-wolves under 40%, went 12-18 from deep, assisted 26 of their 40 field goals, and dominated the turnover battle 21-11. That should do the trick most nights.

They had a nice start, taking a lead at the end of the first quarter for the first time in a while (though they did bleed a bigger early lead down to 2 by the end of the period). And their third quarter was one of their best of the year, with Wright refusing to miss from outside and Gadzuric providing a huge burst of energy off the bench.

Gadzuric finished with 8 points and a team-high +18 in 18 minutes off the bench subbing for a foul-prone Biedrins, and Smart deservedly gave him the game ball. Dude is obviously awkward and borderline uncoordinated, but damn does he bring the energy every night. Unlike many Warriors of recent vintage, effort is never the problem with him.

Outside of Gadzuric though, the bench reverted to its largely useless status. Monta played the full 48, Wright was over 46, and Lee played 43 minutes in his first game back from two weeks off. I think Smart was well aware of how much they needed this game.

So the legend of David Lee will grow, even though he only had 10 points and 6 rebounds. But he seems to have a big impact on defense with his size and communication, and the team clearly benefits from his energy and leadership. And as GSOM notes, he kept Vlad on the bench which may have been his biggest contribution of all.

The Warriors waste a career night from Biedrins and, more important, a great opportunity to steal one on the road before Lee comes back tonight. They shot 49% from the field, outrebound the Grizzlies 44-33, held Randolph and Gasol in check, and were even close in terms of foul shots with 23 attempts to the Grizzlies 29. But when it really mattered at the end, huge turnovers and missed shots pushed the losing streak to five games.

Dorell Wright was the goat in this one, as he missed two huge shots near the end — one a botched attempt to pick up a foul, the other a wide-open 3 with the game on the line. Let’s hope he bounces back like he did the last time he had a wretched game…3 games ago. After a great start to the season, games like this make you wonder if there was a reason why Wright never got a chance to play big minutes until this year.

Back to Biedrins, he was an absolute beast around the rim tonight. Perhaps most impressive was how smoothly he moved around the rim, taking a single dribble when needed to get in better position for a layup. That’s something we never would have seen from him a few years ago, and combined with his improved set of post moves from about 8-10 feet he might be using enhanced skills to make up for any lessened quickness compared to his earlier days.

The controversy du jour from tonight’s game was Smart’s 4th quarter decisions with regard to the bench: both Monta and Steph were kept out of the first five minutes of the quarter, and while the reserves didn’t do too bad as the deficit only grew from 5 to 8, as Steinmetz pointed out on the post-game show that stretch was the perfect opportunity to close the gap with the Memphis starters on the bench (Smart was planning to bring them in a bit earlier but there wasn’t a dead ball for several minutes). The decision to pull Curry after two bad plays and leave him on the bench until the 2-minute mark was also odd, and raises some questions about Smart’s coaching skills.

I thought this exchange from the Chronicle writeup was a big strange:

“I had two possessions when I was rusty. I’ve got to learn to ease my way back into a game when I sit that long,” said Curry, who had 26 points.

“I don’t buy that out-of-rhythm stuff. That’s a cop-out by ballplayers,” Smart said. “When I played, we were ready to play at any time.”

Silver linings? Jeff Adrien had a breakout game with 12 points (on 6-11 shooting), 8 rebounds, and a team-high +6 in over 30 minutes. Adrien still has flaws — the Grizzlies got a lot of easy inside baskets in this game — but until Amundson is back, he needs to jump over Gadzuric and Radmonovic in the front-court rotation.

Speaking of those two fools, Gaszuric managed a -15 in only 8 minutes of action last night. Radmonovic was slightly better and even hit a three, but his behind-the-back pass to the Grizzlies’ bench near the end of the game was a killer. The rest of the bench was similarly worthless: Carney in particular was extremely disappointing after a few solid games in a row; Lin was ok defensively but went 0-4 from the field with all four shots being blocked; and Reggie Williams played a largely forgettable 17 minutes with only 7 points.

And O.J. Mayo going for 23 off the bench? I guess no one read my game preview…

So now it’s on to Minnesota for a must-win game on the back end of a back-to-back. At least David Lee will be waiting for them when they get there — now we get to see how much the recent slide has been his absence and how much is just a tougher schedule exposing the Warriors’ flaws.

Another game that was there for the taking, but the Warriors decided instead to melt down once again at the end of the fourth quarter.

The story of the game (aside from Chuck Atkins Hayes’ career night) was the free throws, as the Warriors had more made field goals (42-31) but took only 18 foul shots to the Rockets 51. Hell, Kevin Martin, the Most Annoying Player in the NBAâ„¢, scored 25 points on only 4 made field goals. Check the downward spikes on the net fouls and net free throws sparklines to the left — ugly stuff.

Lots of discussion on the Twitters and various game recaps about who’s to blame for the disparity. Fitz blames the refs, Smart refused to comment, Reilly blames having to go small due to injuries, Feltbot thinks that’s bullshit as last year’s team went small all the time and never had this problem, Lauridsen blames the Warriors for playing defense with their hands, Ethan puts the blame squarely on Monta’s gambling defense, and Rusty blames the lack of driving inside.

I think it’s primarily a mixture of the last three items — the Warriors guards just can’t keep anyone in front of them, leading to most of the fouls on the defensive end; and until they can get the pick and roll working and force defenses to stay honest with the big guys, the lane will remain packed, Curry and Ellis won’t draw fouls when they drive into brick walls of defenders, and the team will then settle for outside jumpers.

If that diagnosis is correct, then there’s a least a chance that things will get a bit better when Lee comes back. I’d actually expect his contribution on the defensive end to make the biggest difference, as his communication and overall intensity is sorely needed on that end. But I certainly don’t expect his return to “solve” the problem (they were still net negative on fouls for most of his starts).

Back to last night’s game, it was nice to see Dorell Wright finally get back on track with a solid all-around offensive game, and Reggie Williams continued his recent run of strong play (he led the team with a +8). With Carney and Lin also contributing quality minutes recently, there remains some hope that things could turn around with Lee back up front if the starting back court could get on track (and if we could keep Radmonovic off the court).

But until that happens, I worry this ugly run will continue. Monta doesn’t look like the same player (that hip injury a bit more serious than reported perhaps?), as he doesn’t have nearly the same energy without that ball that he did in the first few games. We need our best players to start playing like our best players again.
