Another game with the Warriors up against NCAA tourney play, and I can’t say I’ll be watching the game from the Association. That said, should be a decent chance for the Warriors to win, as the Raptors have been fairly terrible in recent weeks.

Will be interesting to see who wins the rebounding battle between Udoh and the similarly-board-challenged Bargnani, who nonetheless is putting together a solid season. But more important, I hope that Curry can shake his recent poor play and put together a complete game for the first time in a while. We’re starting to run out of games and I’d love to see him get a few solid performances under his belt before he hits the offseason.

Another dreadful defensive performance in a season packed with them. The Warriors gave up 30+ points in all four quarters, and unlike in the season opener they weren’t able to match the Rockets on the scoring front.

A career high in points for Dorell Wright to go along with 5 rebounds and 6 assists, but that was about it in terms of good offensive performances. Curry continues to regress with a volume shooting night to go with 6 assists and 4 turnovers, while Monta had a similarly underwhelming game with only 15 points. Udoh got major minutes again in Biedrins’ absence, and did ok with 9 points on 4-7 shooting and 5 rebounds. The rebounding numbers are still light, but are up from the previously disastrous levels.

So the road trip mercifully ends, as the Warriors went 0-4 and are now 9-28 on the road this season. But hey, the Warriors are now tied in the loss column for the 9th pick in the draft!

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?

The Warriors blow a huge first half lead, not to mention a smaller lead in the 4th quarter. And oh yeah, the “future” of the franchise gets chained to the bench for most of the 4th and plays horribly when he gets in there. Fun!

In some ways, I’m glad that things are beginning to implode. Despite my pre-All Star break optimism (seriously, what was I thinking), the past few weeks of games have once again underscored how flawed this team is. If a late-season nose-dive is what it will take to send Smart, Riley, and Rowell packing, then so be it. The absolute worst thing that could happen would be for the Warriors to put a nice little meaningless run together here at the end and enter the offseason thinking that with a bit more luck they’ll be just fine. Because they won’t be.

Thankfully, I don’t think we’re going to have that problem — the Warriors next play the Suns at home, then a tough Texas roadie through Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston. I have a hard time imagining how they could beat any of them, which will push them over 40 losses — with plenty more likely to come…

Exciting win for the Warriors, overcoming a huge deficit behind lights-out 3-point shooting. While you can’t count on making 21 3-pointers every game, it sure is enjoyable when it happens.

What stands out the most to me are the assist totals — 35 assists, 12 above their season average. Curry had 12, Monta had 11, and David Lee dished out 9. That’s a mark of great ball movement, and suggests that their great shooting was more than just a lucky hot streak.

Throw in an 18-point advantage on points off turnovers, and it was enough to overcome a typically lax rebounding effort (not to mention bad 3-point defense — we very easily could have been focusing on the Magic’s hot shooting from deep).

All in all, a fun win that cleans out a bit of the bad taste from the road trip. They’ll need to string together a few more of these sorts of performances against Magic-level teams in order to change the current verdict on the season, but for now we can at least savor a good win.

Nice win for the Warriors, who overcame a slow start to beat the Cavs fairly easily. Things got a little hairy in the 4th, but they kept the lead close to double digits most of the way and will leave town with a desperately needed win.

Big night from the backcourt, as Monta and Steph combined for 47 points, 14 rebounds, and 13 assists. And check out the +/- that Curry pulled down: +20 in 39 minutes. I can’t remember the last time a Warrior had a number that high.

David Lee had his now customary double-double — you can call his stats hollow, but you can’t completely discount them.

Now it’s on to New Jersey, and something of a freebie as no one will be expecting much from the Dubs on the back end of a back-to-back at the end of their season-long roadie. But this team has surprised in this situation before — in particular, the game at New Orleans — so maybe they’ll come out tomorrow and surprise.

The Warriors face their old friend Baron Davis tonight, who is now leading a Cavs team that has added a few solid wins to its resume in recent weeks. With a game against the Deron Williams-led Nets in New Jersey tomorrow night, this is the best chance the Dubs have to make it home to Oracle with at least two wins on this trip.  On top of my list of wants for tonight, I’d like to see Curry break loose: it would be great to see him make himself indispensable, lest Smart decide to bench him for another 4th quarter.
