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.

Preseason Game 7: Lakers 105, Warriors 102 (OT)

The preseason comes to a close with Keith Smart showing how little trust he has in his bench by giving the bulk of the minutes to just 6 players (Curry and Dorrell Wright both sat the game out with injuries). Monta played all 53 minutes, taking a ton of shots (30) but also making plenty (16) on his way to an NBA preseason high of 41 points. That said, his 7 turnovers gave flashbacks to his pressing days of last season when he was forced to carry the short-handed squad.

Reggie Williams slid into the point guard role in Curry’s absence and by all accounts was terrific — 27 efficient points to pair with 8 assists. Looks like we may have found our answer to the question of who can spell Curry at the point (mercifully freeing Lin to learn how to play at the professional level in the D-League).

With Dorrell Wright out, VladRad played 30 minutes on his way to a decent looking line, though it sounds like he fell apart near the end of the game. Brandon Wright also got plenty of run, some of it at the 3, but was only able to total 5 points and 5 boards while posting a soul-sucking -23.

Good game writeup by feltbot that makes some interesting points about the Warriors’ aversion to the pick and roll and Brandon Wright’s terrible game.

Biedrin’s line jumps out of the box score thanks to his +19 and 10 rebounds, and Lee also had a solid all-around game with 16 points, 14 rebounds, and 4 assists (but 5 turnovers).

The Warriors won the rebounding battle yet again. As Mike Massa notes, the Warriors finish the preseason with a +4.13 rebounding margin, giving hope that they successfully addressed their biggest weakness in the offseason.

On to the regular season!

Preseason Game 5: Suns 92, Warriors 87

Brutal shooting nights for both Lee and Monta. Ethan Sherwood Strauss is getting worried about Lee as he’ll be shooting a lot more mid-range jumpers this year since he’s no longer playing the 5, so it would be nice to see him settle that shot down a bit in the final two preseason games. Monta had a classic “old Monta” line with 29 points off 10-28 shooting in 44 (!) minutes.

On the bright side, Curry had only 1 turnover (but only 3 assists), and Brandon Wright had a solid game with 14 and 6 in 19 minutes (and, according to the AP writeup, was key to their late comeback attempt). The Warriors held the Suns to less than 38% shooting, but only shot 33% themselves. The Warriors won the rebounding battle as well, which is starting to become a nice trend.

In the final roster spot battle, Adrien got almost 20 minutes and pulled down 8 rebounds, while posting a +2. Miles played 11 minutes and only had one assist, but also pulled down five rebounds. Advantage: Adrien.

Two more preseason games left, both against the Lakers.

Preseason Game 5: Warriors

Nice looking win with the starters picking up most of the positive side of the +/-, along with Jeremy Lin who was a +13 in only 12 minutes (still a chance to be the backup PG solution?). Curry turnovers are still running a little hot with 6 (versus 6 assists), and he paired that with an off shooting night. On the bright side, Monta was back to 50% with a 9-18.

Biedrins finally came alive with a solid 8 points and 11 rebounds, and Lee had an all star line with 21 points and 12 rebounds. Wright was fairly quiet with 7 and 5 in 18 minutes, but that’s not too shabby averaged out for a full game. Adrien had a good looking 6 and 5 in only 8 minutes (and a +6), while Miles had 3 assists in 9 minutes (with a +8).

Won the rebounding battle, which could be to the Warriors as turnovers are to the 49ers…

Preseason Game 3: Kings 116, Warriors 97

Another invisible game for Biedrins, though his +/- wasn’t bad. Looks like most of the difference came from their scrubs + Demarcus Cousins vs. Reggie Williams and our scrubs. David Lee’s line is solid though he’s still not proving much on D with a -9. And as Jake noted in comments, Miles didn’t make much of a case for himself tonight.

DNP-CD for Brandon Wright doesn’t exactly inspire confidence.

Will be interesting to actually see this team play — their first televised preseason game is on ESPN a week from Friday.
