The Warriors get a chance to wipe out their dreadful L.A. memories with a game against Denver tonight in Oakland. The Nuggets match the Warriors with a 7-6 record, and will be a bit more rested as they last played on Saturday (beating the Nets 107-103 at home). What to watch for tonight:

  • Showing up when you need to. The Warriors head out on a geographically long 3-game roadtrip to Houston, Memphis, and Minnesota after tonight, so it would be great to bag a home game before they go. The Warriors got off to a nice start to the season by winning the games they needed to in order to have a chance for the playoffs, and I think tonight qualifies. But they missed a similar opportunity last Friday against the Knicks, and Denver is better than the Knicks.
  • Frontcourt bench, again. Carmelo and Nene offer another big challenge upfront, and Lee and Brandon Wright remain out. Adrien was better last night against the Lakers, so he could be the key guy there.
  • Shoot the rock. For the Warriors to win tonight against the Nuggets, they’re going to need to score. And with Lee out, their best hope to score big is to shoot well from outside. I’d love to see Dorell Wright get back on the bandwagon by getting hot from deep for the first time in a while.

The road trip mercifully comes to an end, and one can only hope that a good night’s sleep in their own beds will remind these guys (Monta excluded) how to shoot. Outside of his 9-16, the rest of the team went 19-66 (29%). Ugly.

And the board-work wasn’t much better. The Warriors got creamed 58-42, a margin that would have been worse without Adrien’s solid contribution of 8 boards in 19 minutes. Adrien posted a +10, and after Brandon Wright’s lifeless zero-rebound performance I’d like to see Adrien get some more playing time in the games ahead. Adrien’s already 6th on the team in Wins Produced in just 30 minutes, so might as well see what you’ve got before Amundson and Udoh return.

Aside from Adrien’s nice contribution off the bench, Monta deserves a ton of credit for being the only starter to really show up tonight. Curry went 3-14, Dorell Wright went 2-14, and Biedrins went 0-4. These are just not the sorts of lines you can get from your starters on the road and expect to win (especially with a guy like Lee out).

With the new owner’s half-price promotion on Monday, I’d expect to see a sold out, extremely drunk crowd in their return to the Oracle. If that doesn’t give this team some energy and snap them out of their scoring funk, I’m not sure what will.

An ugly win, but a win nonetheless. After blowing a huge lead and falling behind in the closing minutes, the Warriors rallied behind a pair of clutch plays by Dorrell Wright and solid rebounding by David Lee.

I missed most of this game, and my DVR cut out right after the Knicks had tied it near the end. The endless and-1 procession to the free throw line for the Knicks was depressing, and I thought Reggie Williams was generally woeful down the stretch. Dude needs a confidence booster, stat.

But the Warriors pulled it off: Lee put up his best game as a Warriors in his New York homecoming, and played Amare to a standstill in terms of stats. Monta recovered well enough to play 40 minutes and had a solid game (his kick-out pass to Wright for his big 3-pointer was huge), while Curry did his best to remind the Knicks of what might have been had they been able to leapfrog the Warriors in last year’s draft.

With a quick turnaround before tonight’s game in Chicago, this was a game that would have been a devastating loss if they hadn’t recovered. So kudos to the team for gutting it out, and picking up their first back-to-back road wins since 2007.

Postscript: Along with Anthony Randolph’s scoreless 7-minute performance (no trade regrets tonight!), this was satisfying to read:

Thanks for nothing: Asked about the offseason deal between the Warriors and the Knicks, one New York writer said, “Thanks for the 6-foot-11 guy who can’t play.” No, he wasn’t talking about Ronny Turiaf; he was referring to Anthony Randolph.

Slam!

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).

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.

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 6: Lakers 120, Warriors 99

Let’s focus on the good news first: Biedrins! Puts up a solid 11 points and 13 rebounds in 29 minutes, with a made free throw (!!!) and the best +/- of the starters at -4.

And: Lin! Sure, his +/- was pretty weak at -16, but he played 18 minutes, had 4 assists, and committed zero turnovers. Not exactly setting the world aflame, but a nice step forward and his best argument yet for getting real minutes in the early going.

And: Brandon Wright and Reggie Williams with production off the bench! Both dropped 14 points, though Wright’s rebounding totals were pretty weak with only two. Overall though, the Warriors outrebounded the Lakers 48-37, continuing one of the best trends of the preseason.

Now the bad news — Monta somehow managed a -29 in just 21 minutes of work, and had a largely invisible stat sheet. Curry went out with a sprained ankle that is apparently better than it looked at least. VladRad got the start (?) and was pretty woeful with 1-7 shooting — I assume that Smart was trying to send a message to Dorrell Wright as he ultimately ended up with the bulk of the minutes at the three, and had a decent line with 11 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists (but a -18 +/-).

And the Lakers shot 56%. That’s gotta change.

Postscript: Jeff Adrien got only 4 minutes of playing time, but grabbed 4 rebounds and had the best +/- of the night at +5. Granted, they were probably garbage minutes, but the dude keeps putting up solid minutes whenever he gets on the court.
