Rough loss, as the Warriors played a solid game against a quality opponent on the road, complete with an amazing couple of baskets from Monta at the end of regulation.

But the defense couldn’t hold in overtime, and at the end of the day this counts as another L. Looking at the comparative stats above, they didn’t have much business even being this close as they were significantly outrebounded and lost almost every statistical category.

Monta was great late, and Curry had a solid game despite riding the bench throughout most of the 4th quarter (smart move by Smart, as the lineup he had out there was working). I also thought Ekpe played well, though his foul trouble knocked him out early in the 3rd and he never found his way back in.

I liked seeing Lee play the 5 at the end of the game, and he had another solid stat line (14 and 14) but poor +/-. Still, that was nothing compared to Biedrins, who managed a -16 in just 9 minutes of action.

And how about Evan Turner? After struggling throughout the earlier parts of the year, looks like the dude is finally putting it together. He was a game-high +25 (in a game his team only won by 8), and was all over the place at the end of the game.

So the road trip continues, and after a night off we get to play Baron and the Cavs. That will be an easier game than tonight, though you know he’ll be motivated and we just saw how good he can still be if he puts his mind to it.

The road trip continues in Philadelphia, with an early evening start against the surging 76ers. What to watch for tonight:

  • Smart Coaching. I’d consider this game to be a good test of Keith Smart’s coaching: they played a good game in Boston, so can they build on it or will they regress? Too often this year, the Warriors have played well in a loss against an elite team, and then followed it up with a stinker — and I blame coaching for those sorts of weak rebounds. Tonight gives a perfect chance to once again test that pattern.
  • Moar Monta. Monta is coming off his best game in weeks. Can he continue his surge back to his early season form, or will he throw up another volume 6-26 shooting night?
  • The Rook. Ekpe got the start against Boston, but only played 12 minutes (partly, I would assume, because the Celtics went small most of the night). Can he stay on the floor a bit longer tonight and even pull down a handful of rebounds? While he’s become a solid defensive player, it would be great to see him make a bit of progress in terms of scoring and rebounding before the season ends.

The Warriors played better than I expected, but in the end it was the most oft-written story of the season: dig an early hole that proves too much to overcome, even with a furious comeback at the end.

Big game from Monta, his best since the Utah win before the break and maybe his best since he rolled his ankle in the Kings game. Too bad Curry and Wright had off nights, and outside of David Lee no one else really showed up offensively.

While the Warriors won the rebounding battle decisively and came close from in terms of matching free throw attempts, there just wasn’t enough defense to stop Boston’s solid passing.

So the road trip continues with a game tomorrow afternoon in Philly, so it will be interesting to see how this team recovers. They should be able to take something positive from this loss, though all too often this season they’ve failed to capitalize on “good” losses against elite teams and instead jump down below the level of the followup competition.

The Warriors head to Boston tonight to play a Celtics team that absolutely destroyed them in the second half a few weeks back.

One bright spot is that “Big Baby” Davis won’t play, as he strained a tendon in his knee in their last contest. This makes the Celtics dangerously thin up front — Shaq and Jermaine O’Neill are still out, and they just traded Kendrick Perkins. Unfortunately, this is probably the worst possible weakness for the Warriors to try to exploit given their troubles in the paint. And I seriously worry about what a crafty vet like Garnett will do to Udoh if they get matched up at the 5.

So we’ll see: no one expects the Warriors to win this game, so maybe they’ll pull another of their rare surprise victories over tough teams. But I wouldn’t bank on it.

Hurray! A win!

I missed this one, but sounds like it was pretty exciting in a blow-a-huge-lead-but-hang-on-at-the-end kind of way. Good to see Udoh get the start, and I also like seeing Curry get an almost equal number of shots as Monta. In fact, I’d love to see the Curry:Monta shot ratio at 1:1 the rest of the way and see if we can’t finally get Steph to make that sophomore leap.

So a nice upward blip to stem the downward slide, though beating the Wizards is hardly cause for much optimism. But it was still nice to see them finally win one on this trip, especially at the end of a back-to-back. Now, let’s just hope they get some rest before they face the Celtics on Friday — they’re gonna need it.

The Warriors’ season turns 60 games old tonight, as they play in Washington on the back half of a back-to-back. It’s hard to believe anyone could have any hope for the rest of the season at this point (anyone else see Steinmetz on that point on Chronicle Live last night?), but could anyone still have hope after another loss tonight?

I say it’s over, and you might as well start seeing what you’ve got. Let’s see Udoh start at the 5, Lin get some backup guard minutes ahead of Law (who has been better than expected, but can’t shoot and clearly isn’t the future), and push Reggie Williams to see what we’ve got. We’ll see if Smart reads the writing on the wall or if he continues his futile effort to try to save his job for next year.

Another poor start. Another disastrous 3rd quarter. Nothing from Biedrins. Killed at the line. That part wasn’t surprising.

But 6 points, a -26, and a blown 3 from “his spot” that could have tied things late from Dorrell Wright? And all negative +/- from the starters, and all positive from the supposedly worthless bench? Well, you can’t say the Warriors aren’t finding new ways to lose.

There was one bright spot at least in the play of Reggie Williams. Dude was money from deep in the second half, and almost single-handedly kept the Warriors in the game. He’s been much more consistent of late, and if he could ever learn to become a 2-way player — and with his length, there’s no reason he can’t — he might finally turn the corner from good to, well, really good, at least.

But that was about it. Now the road trip continues, and you have to expect that the Warriors downward skid in the standings will continue right with it.

The game starts in just a few minutes, so I’ll be brief. With the season basically lost, the only thing that matters at this point is trying to get back on track with a few W’s. Tonight they face a Pacers team with an identical record but much better playoff prospects thanks to playing in the East — can they make a statement about the relative strengths of the conferences, or will they continue their recent slide?

I got my time zones confused and mercifully missed this one. The Warriors once again played atrocious defense, got dominated on the boards (as Lauridsen notes, Minnesota rebounded half of their own missed shots), and dominated on the line, and it just proved too much to overcome even with the T-wolves trying to give the game away at the end.

The Warriors started well, but the aforementioned defense (or lack thereof) and a disastrous 3rd quarter put them down 17 points in the 4th quarter. Even if they had pulled off the comeback at the end, it still wouldn’t have said much positive about this team.

An odd line for Curry — 33 points, 11 rebounds, but only 2 assists? — but at least he scored. I see that Monta’s shot once again wasn’t falling, but at least he moved the ball around a bit on the way to 8 dimes (though it sounds like that final shot attempt was fairly weak). And hey, lookie there: Ekpe got a defensive rebound!

All in all, exactly what they didn’t need, and I’m starting to feel like quite the fool for my 15-12 post-All-Star prediction. They now head to Indiana for a game on Tuesday against the Pacers (the first of a back-to-back), so it will be interesting to see how the team reacts. Can’t say I’m optimistic at this point.

It is already halftime by the time I got this up and Kevin Love has 20 and 11, but the Warriors have a 4 point lead. The Warriors are single digit points away from their full game scoring total against the Hawks.

So how about some keys to the second half:

  • REBOUND.  Already -10 on the rebound front.  They gotta grab a few more boards and stop giving up so many offensive rebounds.  19 total rebounds versus 14 Minnesota Offensive rebounds at the half.
  • Only 7 Warriors have gotten into the game so far versus 11 T-Wolves.  Will the W’s have any gas left in the 4th Quarter.
  • David Lee is having a decent game.  Can he actually have a good game in a win or only when the game is all but over?
