Another game, another convincing loss — though this was one closer than I expected. As Adam Lauridsen notes, at least the Warriors kept things close enough to avoid garbage time and keep the Spurs starters on the floor through the end of the game.

Good to see Udoh step up his rebounding game, with 7 boards in a season-high 38 minutes. He also led the team in scoring with 15 — and from the sound of it (I didn’t watch) he actually showed off some nice moves.

Other than that though, the box score doesn’t provide much to get excited about, and in the team stats the Warriors were once again outshot, outassisted, and killed in the paint. Though I do need to give them credit for winning the rebounding battle, with boards well-distributed throughout the team.

But the end result was a loss, and now the 30-41 Warriors head to Houston to finish up the road trip. And looking at the remaining schedule, 3-8 does not seem out of the question for the rest of the season.

Raise your hand if you think the Warriors have a shot in this one: second half of a road back-to-back, against the best team in a league, and in a city where the Warriors haven’t won in over a decade. What’s not to love?

Once again we’ll just watch for reasons to get optimistic about the future: can Udoh stay on the floor against one of the craftiest big guys in the league? Can Curry keep Parker in front of him? (Don’t laugh.) Can Thornton make the rest of the team better at all? And would it kill Smart to just play Adrien at least 10 minutes? After all, what’s the worst that could happen: You lose the game by 30 points and set a season low in points scored? Because that just happened last night — might as well try to get something positive out of it.

Thank goodnesss for March Madness!

Now much to say about this one: The Warriors got smashed from the get-go and never really stood a chance — and capped things off with perhaps their worst 4th quarter of the season.

Not even much to get excited about on an individual level. Udoh was perhaps the bright spot as he had a team-high -1 in 29 minutes, though his atrocious rebounding continues as he only grabbed a single board in that span. Of the others we’re watching here in the final weeks of the season Curry had a so-so game 11 points, 6 assists, and 6 rebounds, and a -8 that was decent compared to the rest of the team.

On the other hand, Thornton was a mess with a team-low -27 to go with 9 points and 4 boards — and no assists. Williams was a bit better at only -11, but not by much.

And hey, Jeff Adrien got off the bench! He matched Udoh’s rebounding total and got to the line 4 times in only 3 minutes. Can we please just play him a bit more to see if there’s anything there?

All in all, another forgettable road performance in a season that is fast becoming unwatchable — especially when there’s good basketball on other channels.

The road trip continues, with the Warriors making their way into Texas for a second game in a week against the Dallas Mavericks. In the game on Wednesday, the Warriors raced out to a big lead but couldn’t hold on — a common story for the Dubs this season against quality opponents.

With 13 games left on the season, what should the Warriors be aiming for? If the season ended today they would draft 11th (if my judgment of the eastern conference standings is correct), but they’ve made a good run on the draft standings with their recent swoon and a move up the order is no longer out of the question — getting to 9 now looks like a distinct possibility.

So that’s one “objective,” and figuring out the roster is probably the other. Udoh and Curry could use some development — and please, Smart, let them play through their mistakes at this point — and I’d like to learn more about what we’ve got with Williams, Thornton, and Adrien.

Of course, that would require Smart to throw in the towel and recognize that his head coaching days will soon be going on hiatus. So we’ll see.

The death march continues at Oracle tonight with the visiting Suns in town. The Suns have owned the Warriors so far this year, as their style seems perfectly suited to picking the Warriors apart — especially since Smart generally refuses to go small. We’ll be without Andris Biedrins who will be sitting with a high ankle sprain — they’ve already announced that he’ll miss the upcoming trip, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they just shut him down for the season at this point.

That means Udoh will get the start and extended run, giving him the perfect opportunity to make a nice jump here in the final 13 games of the season. His conditioning issues should be behind him, so might as well see what he can do and even give him a chance to learn from his mistakes.

Speaking of learning from mistakes, it will be interesting to see what both Smart and Curry do tonight with regard to the latter’s playing time. Sure, Curry made some bad turnovers in the last game, but at a certain point don’t you need to let him work through them? And as Feltbot notes, it must be getting old to Curry that he is apparently the only one who Smart dings for making careless mental mistakes. Curry skipped talking to the media after the last game so you know he was peeved — will he have a strong response tonight as a result?

Wow, what an ugly game. The Warriors got blitzed from the get-go and played incredibly awful defense throughout. The 10-point margin is hardly indicative of how bad they looked — it was just a late run by the scrubs that made it close (a run that was halted by an Acie Law brick on an open 3 that would have cut the margin to 7).

The rebounding was terrible one again, as the Warriors lost the boards battle 46-24 (no Warrior had more than 4). They also got destroyed in the paint, losing that battle by 28 as Dalembert had a career high.

Bright spots? Al Thornton had a solid outing, and looked unstoppable at times on his way to 23 points and a team-high +25. Ekpe also had a decent offensive turn, getting to double-digits at 10 points (but with a typically underwhelming single rebound).

But all-in-all this was yet another indictment of Smart. Part of being coach means having your team ready to play — especially in a back-to-back against a supposedly inferior opponent — and the Warriors were at the worst at the start of each half. Definitely looking forward to playing the coaching replacement game in a few more weeks…

Despite a somewhat shaky first half, this is the first time in a while where the Warriors won a game they’re supposed to win in the way that they’re supposed to. No last-second shot or overtime needed; the Warriors won going away and even got to enjoy being on the positive side of garbage time for the first time in a long time. They won every quarter, and held the T-Wolves to just 77 points.

The bigs deserve most of the credit in this one, as they frustrated Kevin Love and his frontline friends on the way to a +41 between Lee, Biedrins, Udoh, and Amundson. They won the rebounding battle against a team that bested them by 21 on that stat in their last meeting, and fueled the Warriors big turnover advantage by making Darko cough up the ball and generating 10 blocks (5 of those for Udoh). And, of course, ending Love’s double-double streak is a nice trophy achievement — one that should go in Lee’s case.

Another thing that stood out about this game was how ugly it was during the Warriors’ run over the 3rd and 4th quarters. It had a slow, plodding pace with a ton of whistles, but for once the Dubs were the beneficiary of ugly ball as they completely flummoxed the Timberwolves’ offense and got plenty on their own offensive end to pull away.

So, good to see a game play out the way it was supposed to, as the Warriors have been a bit lazy about playing up/down to their level of competition this year. But to win consistently you need to beat up on the teams you should, then steal a few against those above you. This was a nice step in that direction — and tonight we’ll see if they can keep it up with a road game against the Kings.

Alright, just what the Warriors need: a game against one of the best post players in the league! Sarcasm aside, it will be interesting to see if Udoh can slow Howard down at all — certainly will be a hell of a test for the rookie.

In their first meeting, the Warriors played a strong first half but then got destroyed in the second. The Magic killed them from deep, and didn’t even really take advantage of their inside strength. Hopefully the road rims won’t be as kind to the Magic, because if they are able to connect from 3 this one likely won’t be close.

Still, should be a good crowd with the draw of Howardon a Friday night, so I’ll try and be optimistic and hope that the Warriors will get a positive surge from being home again after their long trip.

Rough loss, as the Warriors played a solid game against a quality opponent on the road, complete with an amazing couple of baskets from Monta at the end of regulation.

But the defense couldn’t hold in overtime, and at the end of the day this counts as another L. Looking at the comparative stats above, they didn’t have much business even being this close as they were significantly outrebounded and lost almost every statistical category.

Monta was great late, and Curry had a solid game despite riding the bench throughout most of the 4th quarter (smart move by Smart, as the lineup he had out there was working). I also thought Ekpe played well, though his foul trouble knocked him out early in the 3rd and he never found his way back in.

I liked seeing Lee play the 5 at the end of the game, and he had another solid stat line (14 and 14) but poor +/-. Still, that was nothing compared to Biedrins, who managed a -16 in just 9 minutes of action.

And how about Evan Turner? After struggling throughout the earlier parts of the year, looks like the dude is finally putting it together. He was a game-high +25 (in a game his team only won by 8), and was all over the place at the end of the game.

So the road trip continues, and after a night off we get to play Baron and the Cavs. That will be an easier game than tonight, though you know he’ll be motivated and we just saw how good he can still be if he puts his mind to it.

The road trip continues in Philadelphia, with an early evening start against the surging 76ers. What to watch for tonight:

  • Smart Coaching. I’d consider this game to be a good test of Keith Smart’s coaching: they played a good game in Boston, so can they build on it or will they regress? Too often this year, the Warriors have played well in a loss against an elite team, and then followed it up with a stinker — and I blame coaching for those sorts of weak rebounds. Tonight gives a perfect chance to once again test that pattern.
  • Moar Monta. Monta is coming off his best game in weeks. Can he continue his surge back to his early season form, or will he throw up another volume 6-26 shooting night?
  • The Rook. Ekpe got the start against Boston, but only played 12 minutes (partly, I would assume, because the Celtics went small most of the night). Can he stay on the floor a bit longer tonight and even pull down a handful of rebounds? While he’s become a solid defensive player, it would be great to see him make a bit of progress in terms of scoring and rebounding before the season ends.
