The gut impact of this game was bad enough. Blown 16 point lead? Stephen effing Jackson of all people ties the game with a banked 3 at the end of regulation?

But then you read what Adam Lauridson has to say breaking down everything that led to this loss, and it’s enough to make you want to throw up. A game like last night just makes you feel hopeless that this team will ever be able to turn a corner.

I don’t have too much else to say, except to note that Monta probably sealed the coffin on his All Star chances with that 6-24 night. That thought sure was fun while it lasted.

As the season continues to slip away, it’s hard not to think ahead and start rooting for this team to tank. They’re currently looking at the 11th pick, and while we can hope that a Lacob-run front office will be smarter about drafting, the fact remains that this team’s history gives us very little hope when it comes to a pick in that range.

Now, instead of being a buyer before the trade deadline, I’m wondering if the team should look to offload talent in return for draft picks, high-upside young players, and cap relief. Then they can start fresh with a new coach and GM — could it be any worse than what we’ve seen the past few years? And after last night, does anyone think this team still has a chance to do anything worthwhile this season?

Alright, just what the Warriors need — a visit from the always-struggling Bobcats!

Wait, what’s that? The Bobcats have won 4 of 5 — including 3 straight on their current road trip — and 10 of 16 overall since Paul Silas took over as coach? Still, I’d rather be facing them than the Spurs or Hornets. I guess.

In what’s becoming a regular occurrence, the Warriors are playing a game that they just can’t afford to lose if they want to keep their fast-dwindling playoff hopes alive.

The big key to me — more for the long-term future of the team than for tonight’s game — is the Biedrins-Udoh dynamic. Will Smart stick with the Latvian and see if he can get *any* production from the big guy? Or will he have a short hook and start giving Udoh more minutes at the 5, especially since Lacob made noise about wanting to see more from the rookie during his Radnich interview yesterday? We’ll find out tonight…

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!
