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.

Finally, a game that the Warriors should win. And boy do they need a W. Hell, I need a W to get us back to a nice blend of Christmas colors on the W/L ticks on the left instead of the solid red that has become the norm.

The Timberwolves are the last team that the Warriors beat. Let’s hope they’re similarly charitable tonight, or this season is going to start looking mighty long…

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 try to repeat their best victory of the season so far. Unlikely, given that they’re playing a Jazz team that has been much hotter of late than when they played the first time, but THAT’S WHY THEY PLAY THE GAME.

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…

Say what you will about the Warriors’ chances tonight, the game should at least be interesting! Not only is it the Quitness’ one visit to Oakland this year, and not only will the game be nationally televised on ESPN, but the Warriors welcome two new bodies in Acie Law and Ekpe Udoh.

Udoh is clearly the draw on that front — while the Kawakami’s of the world are trashing the Warriors for yet another PR campaign, from all accounts the guy has been a standout presence while he’s been out and is turning heads now that he’s been practicing again. Should at least be fun to see a guy step into the Anthony Randolph “huge upside” role for the team if he can leap and block as well as has been reported.

As for Acie Law? Eh. They obviously need another body in the back court, especially with Curry likely out with his ankle, but it’s not like he lit the world on fire during his first tour of duty with the Warriors. Still, with the big guys back Adrien became expendable, and despite all the hustle he brought to the team the dude just couldn’t score consistently. Given how hard he played I do hope he catches on with another team and is able to put a solid role-player career together.

So on to the game tonight — while a win is still unlikely, it should be fun to see the “super team” in action, and it would be great to at least get something to feel hopeful about again.

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.

Tonight is perhaps the least likely opportunity for a win all year. Back half of a back-to-back, after the starters played heavy minutes, and against a team that absolutely destroyed the Warriors just a few weeks back in Oakland. I hope that the players will keep their heads high and put a strong effort in, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see them get lit up from the start. I’ll consider it a moral victory if the deficit is less than 10 at the end of any quarter in this game.

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?

The Warriors famously owned this matchup early on in Don Nelson’s return to the franchise, but it’s been pretty ugly of late. Can’t expect things to get much better tonight as the Mavericks have been red hot, so I’ll just be hoping that the Warriors can stay close, pay an entertaining game, and have an opportunity to steal a win late.
