Great game from just about everyone. Can’t believe I’d ever see the Warriors score 85 points and win a game, as this one was ugly as hell and a sure loss had it been last year.

With very few outside shots falling, I give full credit for the win to the front line that produced another winning rebounding battle (continuing the perfect link between a positive rebounding +/- and winning the game).

Lee had troubles with his shot, but had the huge tip-in late and another double-double with 14 and 15. Andris was also huge inside with 20 rebounds, playing about as big and quick as I can remember seeing him.

Gadzuric was surprisingly good off the bench, bringing plenty of energy and hauling in 6 rebounds. He was tapping a few balls in addition to the rebounds he was credited with. I also liked what I saw from Carney (especially his big late bucket), though his team-low -6 doesn’t impress.

Now they take it on the road, playing some teams that they definitely should be able to beat. I’d love to see them win at least 2 of the 5.

Just heard that Curry will be playing, so let’s hope he doesn’t aggravate the ankle right before the long roadie. What to look for tonight:

  • Curry’s Defense. I’m fairly worried about Curry guarding Deron Williams with a bum ankle, so we’ll see what sort of help the Warriors give him throughout the night. If they can do a decent job of containing Williams, they’ll be in great shape to win the game.
  • Matchup at the 4. Paul Millsap is having a great season so far. Can David Lee match him tonight, and maybe even play a little bit of defense? Lee missed a ton of putbacks in the last game, so if he can start converting those things could really open up for him.
  • All-Star Monta. This is the sort of game where the Warriors will probably need a little bit extra. Assuming Curry is unlikely to be the difference-maker tonight, can Monta make sure the Warriors take a solid start into their first long road trip of the year?

Fantastic game for Monta — he willed the Warriors to a victory down the stretch tonight and finished with 39 points, 8 assists, and 9 rebounds. Dorrell Wright also deserves special mention as he was the glue that seemed to hold everything together tonight, making open threes and finishing with 25.

Reggie Williams did a nice job filling in for Curry, coming off the bench to score 16 points with 9 assists. And David Lee had a nice comeback game with 15 points and 16 rebounds.

Biedrins was fairly quiet statistically, though his lone bucket was a good one.

In terms of rebounds, the Warriors were back on top in the rebounding battle, with 48 to the Grizzlies 39. So far this season, winning the rebounding battle has 1.0 correlation with winning the game.

Nice win overall, especially with a road trip coming up. They proved they can win without Curry, and did a nice job responding to Memphis’ runs throughout the game (the late third quarter excepted).

A few non-in-depth things to look for in this game for me:

  • Who runs the point and how does Lin deal with a home crowd cheering for his every touch? He has played much better on the road thus far when the pressure has been off him.
  • How does Wright respond after his option was declined (we still need to discuss this)?
  • How does Lee bounce back from his awful performance in LA?
  • Can Biedrins contain the other Gasol and can the W’s win the battle on the glass with Zach Randolph out?

Halftime Update: Monta has been running the point well with some help from Williams. Doing a decent job with 2 TOs between them. Brandan Wright has not gotten into the game, nor has Lin. Lee is playing okay and at least crashing the boards (9 at halftime) but it only 2-10 on the floor. Dorell Wright on the other hand is playing great and Monta is having a typical night. Warriors were -1 on the glass but built a 12 point lead by going to the line 21 times. Biedrins has been pretty non-existent outside of a couple of nice passes and as I write this picks up his 4th foul a few minutes into the second half.

The Warriors get a 1-2 Memphis team on the tail end of a back to back (they played the Lakers last night), and with a long road trip coming up they need to get this one any way they can. Curry, as expected, is out. What to look for:

  • Return of Lee. Anything would be better than what he put in against the Lakers, but Memphis’ front line has pretty good size (though Zach Randolph is out). I’d like to see him silence any doubters and go right back to putting up double-doubles every night.
  • Replacing Curry. Lin had 15 solid minutes at the Lakers, but can he really be relied on? I much prefer Monta off the ball, and thought Williams did well in that final preseason game. Will be interesting to see what happens here.
  • Rebounding. The Lakers game was the first where the Warriors were out-rebounded, and also the first they lost. Will this relationship continue?

After a solid win against the Clippers on Friday, and with Curry back home in Oakland nursing his sore ankle, I look at this as a game that the Warriors are playing with House money. They’ve won the two games so far that they “should” win, and tonight’s game is definitely outside of that category.

So have some fun, and let’s see how the Warriors new front line does against one of the better sets of big men in the league. Can the Warriors win the rebounding battle for the 3rd straight game?

This will be brief as I missed the game and have been distracted by work and Giants. But aside from the injury to Curry, this was a great all around game. Monta deferred, Dorrell stepped up, and Lee powered the team to another victory for the Warriors in the battle of the boards.

Like with the opener, this was the sort of game the Warriors need to win to have a shot at the postseason. Now they can play with house money down in LA tonight.

Not much to say about this one, except to hope that Curry gets well quickly. The starters just got destroyed — check out the +/-’s — putting the game out of reach by the end of the first. Most disappointing was seeing David Lee do his best “Warriors starting 4 for the past decade” impression.

Hopefully the silver lining from last night is that the reserves — including Jeremy Lin — got some extended run and didn’t look half bad. Now they have Memphis to look forward to, in a game that takes on added importance as it comes right before heading out on a long road trip.

But yeesh — definitely a long ways to go before they can hang with elite teams like the Lakers.

Time to take a break from the glorious Giants and watch the Warriors in their second game of the year against the perennial doormat Clippers. Except that now these Clippers feature a rookie who is capable of completely dominating inside.

Thankfully for the Warriors, the Clippers aren’t even running plays for Blake Griffin yet. But Lee and Biedrins will still have their hands full with the guy who’s season-ending knee injury last year opened the door for Steph Curry and Tyreke Evans to pretend that they’re the best players in their draft class. Keys to the game:

  • Interior Defense. Can the Warriors keep Blake from doing a Luis Scola impression? I think the main key here is defensive rebounding — Griffin is all about raw physical skills right now, and will likely do most of his damage on fast breaks and put backs. The Warriors need to make sure they’re getting a body on Griffin on every shot attempt.
  • Interior Defense. Baron Davis is expected to repeatedly try to post up Stephen Curry. Can Curry hold his ground and at least force Davis to make tough shots? The Warriors aren’t inclined to give Curry much help lest Davis make them pay with a pass to the open man, so let’s hope that bum ankle is feeling strong tonight.

Nice win for the Warriors, as they smartly ran Houston out of the gym to take advantage of last night’s game for the Rockets. Now if only the Warriors could have fouled them less (52-26 free throw disparity, with about a dozen of those coming at the end for the Warriors), the score would have reflected the second half shooting percentages a bit better.

[As an aside, Kevin Martin really is becoming one of my least favorite players to watch in the NBA. He's gifted at generated touch fouls but geez does it slow the game down and make things ugly.]

Monta had a whale of a game with 46 points on 18-24 shooting (50%+!). Curry dropped 25 with 11 assists, and kept the turnovers down to 5 (more than I’d like, but I’ll take the 2:1+ a/t ratio).

The starting front court also was impressive, as Biedrins had a solid 8 and 11 (10+ rebounds!) and Lee dropped 17 points with 15 rebounds, and moved the ball well with 6 assists.

I missed the first half watching the Giants, but was impressed with Dorrell Wright from what I saw. Just seems to have a nice presence out there.

The pick and roll also was utilized more than I expected after what we saw during the preseason. Good to say as it was consistently successful.

All in all, a nice start to the season. This is the sort of game the Warriors need to win if they have any hope of contending for the postseason this year, so good to see them get it done.
