Enjoyed the first half of the Lacob/Guber Welcome Game a lot, the second half not so much. How they go from 65 points in the first to only 36 in the second is beyond me.

It was nice to see a game in the Arena for the first time this year, and the atmosphere was great with the half-off promotion. Enjoyed a delicious blackened chicken nachos that was ridiculously tasty for only $5.50!

Back to the game, my main takeaways are that a) this team really misses David Lee, and b) until he comes back, we need to see more of Jeff Adrien. His offense may never come around, but if it ever does he could turn into an amazing find. He led the Warriors with a +16 in only 16 minutes.

While I in no way wish we still had Maggette, this was the sort of game where he could get to the line and help the team score when nothing else was working. If Monta could ever figure out how to get to the line reliably, we could potentially spare ourselves the sort of pathetic offensive endgame we saw from the Warriors last night.

This also gives me a chance to highlight how disappointing Reggie Williams has been so far this year. He was billed as a scoring spark-plug off the bench, but so far his late-season form from last year has been nothing but a distant memory. I think they’re putting a lot on him in having him pick up some PG duties, so maybe just going back to the basics — scoring — would help at this point.

This was their first win with Lee out, which is great because they have a few more to go now that he’s out for an extended recovery period. Hopefully we’ll get to see a bit more of Adrien, and also a few less fouls from the guards, pls.

The Warriors debut their new ownership team tonight, as the team returns to the Oracle for some much needed home cooking. I’ll be headed out to the game tonight to enjoy some half-priced fun, and it will be great to get a good look at this team from up close. Unless his status has changed since Saturday, Lee is not expected to play tonight. What to watch for:

  • Return of the shot. In their last two games, the Warriors have shot 34% and 41%. Can they get back on track now that they’ll be playing at home and with good rest for the next two games?
  • Get to the stripe. As Owen at the Golden State Worriers notes in his stats-based recap of the first ten games, one place that the Warriors have really fallen off this year is in getting to the line. I think this starts with hitting enough outside shots to make the other team pay attention to the shooters, which creates the space for Monta to drive and draw obvious fouls against recovering defenders. But if the other team doesn’t need to honor the shooters, they can pack the lane and watch as the refs swallow their whistles while Monta drives right into a brick wall of interior defenders.
  • A new backup 4? In Saturday’s game, Jeff Adrien did what Brandon Wright seems congenitally incapable of: taking full advantage of an opportunity. Adrien grabbed 8 boards in 19 minutes with a +10 and was by far their most productive backup at the power forward spot. With Lee out another game, will Adrien get the start? And if he does, can he make it count?

Rough start to the road trip, with the Warriors threatening to pull off another defensive masterpiece before succumbing to tired legs in the fourth. For the second straight game, their shots were off — exemplified most frustratingly in Curry’s missed shot to tie the game with 20 seconds remaining. And when Curry went out with 4 fouls in the fourth, the ball handling disintegrated and gave more than the final margin to the Pistons in easy buckets off turnovers.

Aside from the bad shooting and ball handling, I’d say the biggest disappointments were David Lee and the entire bench. Lee grabbed just 7 boards to go along with his now customary low-teens scoring, as the Warriors tied the Pistons in the overall rebounding battle. And no one off the bench had a positive +/-, with Radmonovic posting a team-worst -12. Going to need more than that to win games on the road.

Here’s to forgetting this one, and hoping that their shots finally settle down for tonight’s quick turnaround against the Raptors.

Warriors 101
 

The Warriors kick off their 5-game road trip with a (west coast) matinee in Detroit. The Pistons are struggling, so this is a game the Warriors need to pick up to get their road trip off to a good start. Speaking of the road trip, after looking over the opponents the opportunity is definitely there to put together a winning trip:

  • Tonight: Detroit (1-5)
  • Tomorrow: Toronto (1-5)
  • Wednesday: New York (3-2)
  • Thursday: Chicago (2-3)
  • Saturday: Milwaukee (2-5)

Chicago is probably the scariest team on the list, and even they have been beatable so far. It would be great to see the Warriors pick up the first two games, which would take the pressure off for the New York and Chicago games as they know they’ll have Milwaukee at the end to get to 3-2 on the trip. But seeing as tomorrow they’ll be on a back to back, tonight is the game the really need to have.

What to watch for tonight:

  • Rebounding. The Warriors are currently 5th in rebounding differential (+2.8), while the Pistons are 27th (-3.3). Second chance points were the difference in Friday’s game against Utah, and the opportunity is certainly there tonight if the Warriors can take advantage.
  • “Defense Travels Well.” Can DTW become the GTL of the Warriors season? After holding an opponent to 78 points (and winning with only 85!), the team certainly seems to be buying into a more defense-oriented mindset. The players are saying all the right things, too. On their first game after a cross country flight, when the shots might be a little flat, can they rely on their defense to produce another win?
  • Finishing Inside. While Lee and Biedrins were monsters on the glass on Friday, neither was able to consistently finish at the rim. Ethan Sherwood Strauss has an interesting theory that the fact that they are both lefties is causing an adjustment period as they both crash the same side of the rim, though Biedrins is fairly insistent that it’s just a matter of luck (the BAPIP argument, as it were). Either way, if they could start making their inside chances the second chance points could go through the roof.
